As suggested by iprotectyou :

In honor of Hannah's new kidlet:

What does your pup think of babies/toddlers/children?

Comments

He likes 'em fine but they really shouldn't be hanging around the same places he is.

[for_everyone]

Hera likes them fine, and gets along well with young children, mostly because she's not self-conscious at all around them, which makes her easy for them to talk to.

Kanan also likes them fine, though he's slightly more self-conscious than Hera. On the other hand, he also has an easier sense of humor with them. They would, together, probably make good parents, if they were inclined to such a thing. As it is, they're fine being, uh, "crew parents" to their not-exactly-young children and murderdroid.

They're fine if they're nowhere near him, and he doesn't have to see, hear or talk to them.

Ironically, I think he would be an interesting parent once he realises that kids understand a lot more than he assumes, and can learn quicker than adults. If he had his own child and they were like he was, he'd know what to do with them to make their life better. But he doesn't see that; he just thinks they'd be as isolated as he was, without really connecting to the idea that he could change that for them. If he had a child that is not like he was, and actually had a shot at being happy/non-psychopathic, I think he would either not get on with them very well because he'd be jealous, or wouldn't know what to do with them at all.

Tl;dr - on a good day he'd be good with his own kid, and on a bad day he'd be the absolute worst. Every day would be the absolute worst with anyone else's kid. Though I am looking forward to how he'll react to Rosie when Sherlock brings her in, and also remain relieved that he has taken a 'no kids' stance in his marriage. I don't want to find out how psychologically damaging he could be to a child.

Ahsoka is, I think, ambivalent about them. She's fine when she interacts with them, and knows they're important, but she seems to have a disconnect with "normal" society things. They are people to protect or teach if the occasion calls for it. She will treat them with the same respect and attitude she gives to adults.

Sabine I am not sure of. I'm sure she'd be friendly with the kid, perhaps even offering paints or the like to occupy them.

Danny seems like he wouldn't seek them out but would be pretty good with them if he ended up spending time with them. He's a big kid after all.

Sam loves kids.

Tybalt lives for kittens and kids. They are the joy that reminds him why he keeps fighting.

[oldmancreed]

Tess isn't good with babies. They're too needy and loud. Children above the age of 6, though, she likes. They can learn so much!

Rose thinks they're cute and chubby, but she's never even thought about herself as a parent.

Kylo kills children. :|

Creed doesn't like them, but he's better with them than most people would think.

[iprotectyou]

Baze doesn't know what to think of kids. He's mostly ambivalent. He's terrible with them, as he thinks of them as fragile, little adults.

Autor, on the other hand, adores kids.

[camwyn]

Ellen's taken care of one of them for a time purely for political reasons- she was temporarily fostering the first child born in the Pitt who was immune to the environmentally-induced neural degeneration of the Pitt's toxins while Lord Ishamael Ashur sorted out his enemies and got things under control. She is more or less okay with children as an idea, but if she and her husband ever actually reproduce it is more or less a given that Jerald will be taking care of them.

[archmagetrust]

Khadgar would've liked to have kids but that's one of those things that's extremely unlikely after his youth was taken from him. He still likes other people's kids, though, and will do the 'what's behind your ear' trick with them if they're young enough. Though he also does that to player characters, so really it's more if he thinks he can get away with it.

Gabriel does not know what to do with babies/toddlers. He treats children like adults as his default setting. I imagine there are a few interesting/amusing stories of him interacting with Fareeha and trying to train Jesse.

Hopefully Bastion didn't encounter any human kids up close during the Omnic Crisis. Small children or actual babies might have been ignored as too underdeveloped to pose a threat, but older kids would still register as potential combatants, albeit distinctly lower-threat than adults.

Post-reactivation, they don't really know much else about kids or childcare since they've spent so little time with humans, although they've seen baby animals before. (Ganymede raised a family right on their shoulder several years ago, as a matter of fact.) They would probably behave mostly the same with a child old enough to hold a conversation as with an adult; that's how they interact with the hive drone kids.

Omnics don't work that way; young omnics come online with their full physical and mental capabilities, although they're often quite naïve from a lack of life experience and context for preprogrammed knowledge, and there's one puzzling piece of set dressing depicting what appears to be an omnic child as part of a family on a poster in the Blizzard World map. (Maybe sometimes civilian models incept in small frames and upgrade themselves later, I guess?) Orisa, the main canonical example of a newly built omnic, also has dialogue resembling computer status messages much more than any of the other five-ish omnics with speaking parts.

Steve loves them. He wants a dozen. However, he also knows how dangerous it is for superheros to have families, so he's resigned himself to not having one aside from the found family that's gathered around him.

Sherlock likes certain ones, in small doses. He doesn't think he should father one himself, and doesn't want to be solely responsible for raising one. (Though canon shows he's not terrible at it, at least.) He and Jim have agreed they don't want kids, and he has no regrets about that.

[ceitfianna]

Most of mine are actually pretty good with children though not all of them would want them.

Cassian likes and worries about kids, he sees them as signs of hope but hates seeing them growing up in the kind of life he had. He starts off shy and quiet around them but will open up and probably teach them how to cook and fly, talking about the good stuff. He doesn't expect to ever have any with his line of work but loves knowing people who are in love enough to try and bring new life into the galaxy. It gives him hope.

Charles likes the idea of kids, he's a good teacher but better with older kids. He matured quickly due to his mutation so always enjoys seeing kids getting to be kids. Other mutants are his kids as I don't think he easily sees himself as a father.

Quentin is unsure about kids, he's at that age where he's definitely older and knows better. At some point, he will have kids but not for a while.

Sameth I think likes kids especially making toys for them, they appreciate what he does and he likes that. He's looking forward to having his own someday.

Will S. loves and is really good with kids and hopes to have some.

William grew up taking care of his younger brother so I think he's okay with kids but also at an age where he's an adult and starting to look at them differently. At some point he'll have kids but he's not there yet.

Ivan is wary around kids, he knows he's bigger than them and all the ways they can break. He knows he'll have kids someday but he's not ready yet.

Demeter adores children, fertility is part of her sphere.

Tumnus likes kids though prefers them older.
