#procreation

Good take! The only bit I disagree with is the procreation bit. It is used not only when taking about surrogacy. It is used when talking about having your own biological children as opposed to adoption or being a step dad. That is very telling here.

I think he wants his own biological children and that is what he meant by it. Any other phrasing would entail adoption, so he used the one word which unequivocally signals he is not adopting or being a step dad.

Also, I like to remind people that Armie has had a vasectomy, so he doesn’t want anymore children of his. People don’t get that if they think they want more children. And Tim doesn’t want to adopt but wants his own biological children. That is hard if one partner has had a vasectomy. Not saying they don’t love each other. Perhaps, it is his current thinking and doesn’t reflect anything about how he feels about Armie.

Hello Anon, Thank you for reaching out to me about this. Yes, indeed, the word "procreation" is synonymous with “reproduction”. But what a horrible way to express your “desire to have a child with the woman you love” isn't it? In my opinion, the way Tim spoke using the word "procreation" really sounded more like a technical process than a romantic one. And just to clarify... of course Tim wants to have his biological child, and that would be the case through assisted reproductive technology. The child would be biologically his.

Regarding "And Tim doesn't want to adopt but wants his own biological children. That is hard if one partner has had a vasectomy," Anon, you brighten my day by suggesting that only a vasectomy prevents Tim and Armie from having a biological child together. If that were the only obstacle, it would be wonderful… But I agree, it's very hard... but not because of Armie's medical intervention but because even if they are madly in love, and even if they dream of having "an impossible children," currently science doesn't allow it, for now… but maybe one day…

listen if you don't personally want kids that's cool that's fair that's totally fine and no ifs and about about that but please miss me with the ideological anti-natalism like

Generally, they'd be mostly human but with abilities similar to their inhuman parent—though not quite as powerful. That said, it can vary from child to child; some might be born with more pronounced monstrous traits/stronger abilities, whilst others might appear almost entirely human, showing only very minor helspawn traits.
