Jack if you weren't ready to have rosie when you got pregnant why did you continue the pregnancy?

Jack: because I make bad decisions

Rye: that was not why.

Jack: fine, we wanted kids at some point, and there was the pandemic and we figured that depending on how long it lasted I wouldn’t have to tell anyone I was pregnant. I was really scared about people seeing me like that. I wasn’t really stealth but I passed well enough and people just assumed I was a guy I didn’t correct them and I didn’t want to lose that.

Rye: you correct me on that all the time.

Jack: you’re my husband, beside I only do it when you complain about men. I’m not a man I’m just masc presenting.

Rye: I remember that next time you and your dad are watching baseball and drinking beer while your mom and I make dinner.

Jack: anyway not having to tell anyone seemed like it would help……and Rye seemed really excited. I know he was trying to be neutral and supportive but he was all smiley looking at baby clothes when he thought I wasn’t looking. I didn’t want to take that away from him…I was scared I’d lose him if I did.

Rye: I told you I would support and love you whatever you decided, and if this wasn’t the right time or the right way we would take care of it. I meant that…I wanted a baby but more importantly I wanted you to be okay, I wanted you to be happy. I love Rosie, but I never meant to pressure you in anyway way to continue with the pregnancy.

Jack: I know, you didn’t, you were obnoxiously supportive of my bodily autonomy…I thought I could do it. I thought everything was going to be okay and we could have a baby and we would both be happy. I think we were happy for a bit.

Rye: the second trimester was good. And you were comfortable showing off your bump around the house, which was cute. You seemed like you had some sort of clarity that you hadn’t had at the beginning but as it got farther along you lost it again. I love both our kids but I wish there could have been a way to have them without almost losing you.

Jack: I’m happy I did it. It was the worst experience of my life but I love Rosie.

Jack and Rye's relationship has captivated me and I felt compelled to draw them

@cownose-studios

Alt version, what if the kids got to it with crayons

[cownose-studios]

Ahhh they’re so cute

[cownose-studios]

Do you mind if I draw/post fan art of Jack and Rye? The way you draw and write them is soo beautiful and I am kind of getting brainworms. If it's cool, I'll tag you anywhere I post

YEP! just tag me I wanna see it.

[cownose-studios]

Some pink guys

boo

Jack: boo! Do you think ghost are real?

Rye: not really, do you?

Jack: you’re real so why not?

Rye: I guess that makes sense.

Jack: doesn’t worry I’ll haunt you

Rye: you’re not going to die first

Jack: we’ll figure it out, maybe you can haunt me

Rye: fair enough

[cownose-studios]

sorry who is Annika?

Jack: an asshole

Sasha: that’s not very nice word

Jack: well I’d call her a b*tch but rye doesn’t like that word and I think he can hear us

Rye: *in the other room* I can and I don’t care what you call her she is a B-I-T—

Sasha: she’s my partner and she doesn’t tend to play nice with werewolves or humans. We don’t see each other often and that is completely fine with my current living arrangements. Also she turned me so there’s that.

Rye: (still in the other room) and she pays for things

[cownose-studios]

What did you do during ww2 Sasha?

Sasha: a lot of different stuff. I was the in the army…think I was mostly a medic but I only don’t remember a lot of it. I remember the trenches… I didn’t like the trenches.

Jack: the trenches were mostly WWI

Sasha: both were bad. Oh and I was still with the CCCP none of the Nazi bullshit. Don’t know why that little shit in twilight was a confederate he wasn’t even real that lady wrote a fictional vampire we’re supposed to like and he’s a confederate. I killed a confederate asshole who ran away to France after the war absolutely dickhead. Oh and Nazis killed a lot of Nazis. Anyway then I got recruited to the KGB and sent over here but for some reason they stopped talking to me like 30 something years ago…might be more…I don’t think I was supposed to tell you that.

Jack: I don’t think the KGB exists anymore, I mean the whole USSR hasn’t been a thing since the early 90s.

Sasha:…I knew that.

[cownose-studios]

Has Jack or Rye heard of a show called Bluey perchance?

Jack: please don’t mention it the kids might hear you. We already did screen time today

[cownose-studios]

What does Annika look like

Sasha: pretty but an intimidating way…tends to keep up more with the fashion than most vampire do

[cownose-studios]

Questions for Sasha: How often do you see Annika, and what does she get up to when you're not with her, does she mind/know about you and jack hooking up? Also how do you get turned into a vampire, how isn't jack a vampire if you feed from him sometimes?

Sasha: I haven’t seen her is a while…but it’s not unusual for us to go a few decades without contact. she doesn’t like rye very much and what awful to Rosie last time I saw her so I’m good with not seeing her. Honestly who knows what she does even when we are together there’s not a lot talking. And she definitely doesn’t know about Jack but the agreement was always that men don’t count because that’s just for blood and money.

Jack: wow using me for my blood and money and I thought we were friends.

Sasha: oh please you’re not even really a man you just don’t care enough to explain that you’re non-binary and you use he/they pronouns.

Jack: that’s true. Anyway I don’t think I’d survive very long if Annika knew.

Sasha: so don’t tell her. And jack and I would have to exchange blood for him to become a vampire, just feeding from wouldn’t turn him.

[cownose-studios]

What piercings does Rosie have?

Rosie: i don’t know a lot, I have a hole bunch in my ears. And then two in each eyebrow and one in each nostril and a septum. Also a bridge and angle bites.

Cal: there’s some others.

Rosie: those are all the ones you can see with my clothes on

[cownose-studios]

Is it only jack that's autistic and when rye said he was blind a couple of posts prior, was that serious or just "a bit"?

Jack: I’m not autistic, but Rye probably is

Rye: you don’t meet the diagnostic criteria, but you’re definitely not neurotypical. And I’m not officially diagnosed because I’m afraid that having it on paper at this point would do more harm than good, but too many doctors have asked if I am to keep track off.

Jack: anyway wolves have weird eyes.

Rye: wolf vision is adapted for hunting in low light. And werewolves for some reason get that all the time so in humans terms I’m color blind and extremely nearsighted but can actually see quite a bit better in the dark. Glasses don’t really help much and I can read fine if it’s really close to my face. But I’m kinda screwed if i ever need to do those eye exams at the DMV again. But the visual impairment also another thing i try to avoid having on paper. And I’ve adjusted to it, it just too a while. Having your brain rewired and a lot sensory processing changes over the course of week while you have the flu is a really weird experience.

[cownose-studios]

Are any of the characters vegan/vegetarian or have dietary requirements?

Sasha: I can only have blood.

Rye: my body hates food and Jack is crunchy.

Jack: I’m not crunchy, crunchy makes in sound like I’m an anti-vaxxer who doesn’t believe in modern medicine.

Rye: fine, you are anti food dye though

Jack: I try to mostly eat organic and not super processed foods. But yeah I don’t love food dyes and artificial flavors and sweeteners.

Rye: you would eat every meal like a bear if you could, you love a piece of fish and handful of berries.

Jack: there’s a reason you call me bear

Rye: that is not why I call you you bear.

Jack: yeah, I know, man whore behavior.

Rye: Sasha was the one calling it that, anyway your dino egg oatmeal probably has artificial dyes and flavors

Jack: it actually doesn’t, anyway it’s all just a preference I’m not crazy about it. It’s dino nuggets or take out if I’m in charge of dinner. Oh I do actually have dietary restriction that’s not a preference I’m allergic to peanuts.

[cownose-studios]

Do vampires in your universe age or do they stay the same age as the rest of their friends and family age and die? (This is really morbid but curiosity is bugging me)

Jack: hey sash how old are you?

Sasha: we are not doing this again

Jack: come on

Sasha: 23

Jack: how long-

Sasha: not doing twilight again

Jack: fine, but how long have you actually been 23?

Sasha: lost track but I was born around 1800 I think. And yes it sucks watching everyone you love die.

Jack: sucks?

Sasha: fuck off

Jack: do you need a snack and some cuddles?

Sasha: yeah

What are all the mobility aids and accommodations rye / jack use on a daily basis

Jack (30): i have hearing aids and reading glasses, I have some tendon issues in one hand so I wear a wrist brace sometimes when it’s acting up.

Rye (33): depends on the day, but as far as mobility aids I’ve got my forearm crutches, and my wheelchair, I have a smart drive on my wheelchair. I used to use a cane more but I feel a lot more stable with the crutches. Also have AFOs, knee braces, I have a whole bag of random braces and splints that I’ve collected over the last few years. And I’ve got my feeding tube. Oh and I have noise canceling headphones and sunglasses because I get migraines but also sometimes outside is overstimulating.

Jack: you also have an AAC app on your phone and use a bit of ASL

Rye: my ASL is really bad. My parents thought that if they didn’t teach me it would force me to talk.

Jack: that’s really shitty

Rye: Yeah, turns out feeling safe in my environment is the most helpful for me being able to talk. You make things feel safe. But also you’re not mad at me when talking is hard so that’s nice.

Jack: oh wait I have and emotional support wolf one a month very important for emotional support and good and his tasks.

Rye: what are my tasks?

Jack: cuddles and bring bunnies and be a good boy.
