Hi to all my viewers out there, from A Heart For My Nobody! Thanks for all my reviews on this and my other stories, and thanks so much for reading! ^__-
What is a Two-Cent Rant?
A Two-Cent Rant is little more than what it sounds like. Ranting about something simply to give your two-cents (opinion or observation) about it, and these ones are mine! ^_^
I say opinion or observation because many of the things I address here, I am also guilty of writing. That being said, I don't actually have a problem with some of the things I rant about. They're just things I've noticed to be clichéd, overdone, or occasionally stupid in Kingdom Hearts fan fiction. My Two-Cent Rants start with a short written drabble or ficlette about what I'm going to rant on, and then a rant hosted by one of the Kingdom Hearts characters. I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer:
I write each of these little stories myself. I apologize if you end up seeing any content that's similar to other things out there. I assure you it's purely coincidental. It's just that I'm often dealing with things that are overdone, so I don't doubt it might be somewhere out there. I promise I didn't steal it! Oh, and the usual. I obviously don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters, thus this is fan fiction.
Author's Note:
Male Pregnancy... in Kingdom Hearts... sticking to the KH universe, there aren't many ways to do this that aren't creepy. So why not make Sora the victim, eh? Hehehehehehe... At least I paired him with Riku, right? (Apologies to all you who disapprove Riku/Sora) ^_^;;

Two-Cent Rant # 3: Male Pregnancy
"These are the longest months ever!" Sora scratches another mark down on his calendar. In truth, it has only been three months since Sora found out he's pregnant. He went to the island's doctor for stomach aches and because he was growing a belly. Originally, he thought his metabolism was clogged or something. It's hard to say whether Sora or the Doctor was more surprised at the time. Sora made the doctor stay quiet about it though, and he imagines that the Doc is having some pretty long days right now too.
He stuffs the calendar back between his mattresses and sits up, putting a hand on his stomach. He can't wait to feel it kick for the first time, thought it's kind of scary too.
"I wonder what Riku will think." The boy says, imagining the perfect spot for a crib in his room. He'll have to clean up before the time comes, "Should I not tell him? He'll notice my belly though..." He flops out of bed and paces his room. What he wants more than anything is to mark another day on the calendar. Maybe he should do it in thirds of days. No, that's just stupid. "Patience Sora, patience." He repeats to himself, "Ohhh... this would be so much easier if I could tell someone. Maybe my mom. She was a little bummed about me and Riku at first since she wants a grandchild... Oh, but I should tell Riku first, but.,.. This sucks!" He drops back down on his bed and wipes a tear from his eye. Catching himself, he rubs his stomach again, "It doesn't suck. I didn't mean that. Man, this hormonal thing stinks, though." He turns his stare out the window, finding Riku sitting on the Paopu tree and gazing off into the ocean, "What should we name you?" Sora asks, still stroking his belly, "Riku? But what if you're a girl? We could give Riku another k, maybe... Rikku?"
Staring at the silver-haired boy on the tree, Sora smiles.
"Riku will understand." He thinks aloud, "I think I'll tell him tonight."
Funny thing is, for the next few months, Riku is acting more like the mother than Sora... morning sickness and everything.
Vexen:
Some people just can't make up their minds... You support a guy/guy pairing, and yet you want to see pregnancy and childbirth. So what do you do then? Make the oh so difficult venture and actually make a decision between the two of them? Of course not! This is fan fiction after all! Let's bend the very limits of reality and create something new! Welcome to the world of Male Pregnancy or MPreg.
First off, without going into the details of the mating process between two males, men aren't even remotely equipped in the proper way to harbor a fetus. There are numerous writers who try and justify this with things such as one of my potions or something of the sort. Some authors even come up with a pretty clever and almost believable excuse for such a thing, but with the number of people writing MPreg out there versus the percentage of people who come up with a good reason for it, you'll find yourself running into many stories that have either a very poor reason, or possibly even more commonly, no reason at all.
In addition to this, it's all too common to find that the pregnant character is hormonal in just the same way as a woman would be during this process. You must be rather shallow to make sense out of this. Either that, or these writers are just a few of the people who actually have the knowledge that all your favorite KH boys are actually poorly endowed women. In which case, delete all your shirtless fan service art, and for God's sake, give Sora some nice seashells for Atlantica!
Finally, within the realm of these stories, most of the time this will happen with the more common pairings involving Riku, Sora, or Roxas. Now you've got senselessness with a side of underage sex. Have some decency people! Oh my... is that...? Is that me pregnant in that fiction? With Marluxia!? Argh, My brain! My beautiful brain!
