Kyle "Gaz" Garrick x Reader - Fic Ideas
This is essentially just a brain/word vomit of some concepts I have that are gonna be cooking up in the drafts until the end of my school semester where I'm ready to post hehehehe! I am ALWAYS looking for feedback and conversation so please don't be afraid to send asks or DMs!

GN - Expecting/pregnant reader
I feel like pregnancy is only explored for Cis women which I don't think is fair for trans women, AFAB trans-mascs (those of yall who are not opposed to the idea of pregnancy and parenthood), and other GNC people and bodies
The idea that if you aren't a women, pregnancy should give you gender dysphoria feels like its based in transphobic thinking patterns and I want to challenge myself and others by writing an experience of motherhood (or rather parenthood) from the perspective of the carrier which can open access to bodies that are normally not permitted space to imagine this
typically when we think of parents we think of "mom" and "dad" or baby's saying some variation of "mommy/mama" and "daddy/dada". I want to use a gender neutral of this word that is affectionate and means parental unit. Maybe I'll delve into the idea of neopronouns or maybe I can seek inspiration from different cultures who don't follow the north-american norms of the gender binary (I'm from Canada).
If you as a reader, writer, GNC person, or someone with knowledge about this, PLEASE feel free to shoot me a message! I am more than happy to learn
Simultaneously, I wonder if I (a cis woman?) Have the right to be writing this kind of content when I don't consider myself as part of the GNC community (gender is a bit complicated for me and I currently feel like cis woman fits me best)
But I also know that when writing and informing myself of the perspectives and experiences of real GNC people, I am trying to remain authentic
Something else that I think about is my intent. My mind immediately counters this with the argument that "Impact means more than intent" which is absolutely true! At the same time, I recognize my intent for writing this to be coming from a place of trying to learn. I don't look at my draft of this fic to be 'giving representation' so much as I think of it as me doing a writing experiment and trying to learn and understand alternative forms of motherhood/parenthood while challenging bias that I may subconsciously carry. Ultimately, I don't know if it would be appropriate for me to write this but I would love to hear what other people, particularly GNC folkx think about this! I want to hear your voices!!!!
Maybe this would be set in omegaverse??? I really like how gender, gender roles, and sexuality are experimented with in this genre. For me, no two omegaverse fics are alike and its very interesting! (Also I'm a puppy-person who's writing this lmfao)
