Sometimes one of my followers reblogs something from me and I go check their blog only to be brutally reminded of why I didnât follow them back in the first place.
imagine your neighborhood had a Notorious Van because the art airbrushed on it isnt like a cool lightning wizard or unicorn or whatever, but instead a bunch of dicks. everyone knows the van with the penises. and the person who owns and drives it is this lesbian who knooows her cars the talk of the town and loves it. and you know Of her but now, at this random house party, you get introduced to her for the first time and ur like ohhhh THATS the dick van dyke
How was it for Optimus when he was carrying his son? Was he still expected to fight or did he get some sort of âleaveâ?
Optimus fought normally! He needed to keep the numbers up or suffer at the hands of his sponsors. When he really couldn't fight anymore, Ratchet managed (read: threatened to throw a screwdriver at) a license to Optimus rest
I feel like I need to send carrier pigeons to those who have been waiting for the rest of Shadow the hedgehog going into labor and giving birth because I come bearing some sketches for you today yipeeeeee
(Auuhhhhh â ď¸ content warning for likeâŚ..birth and stuff. Nothing explicit but I wanted to be a nerd for a second when I drew these so thereâs some like medical diagrams and a sorta breakdown of the stages of labor and delivery bc I find it fascinating okay enjoy pregnant Shadow now)
Also shoutout to all the trans guys who wrote to my inbox with the kindest messages and personal notes, you know what this entire pregnant Shadow post is actually dedicated to you all. You guys are actually my #1 supporters it would seem and I genuinely couldnât be more grateful like you guys have made me cry just from reading your messages. I hope you guys get to have your own kids someday (the ones that want to of course lol), and be awesome trans guys dads :) Iâm so happy my art resonates with you, and I hope you enjoyâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸
This picks up after my post I made last year (I feel like I remember calling it âPart 1â) (Yes this post is âPart 2â) where Shadow starts going into labor while heâs at work with Rouge and Omega at GUN. But like you donât need to have seen those to get this, all that happens is Shadow calls Sonic and tells him heâs gone into labor and they need to go home like right now and there you go thatâs the context.
Medical diagrams and infographics yipeeeee!! I genuinely donât know what happened to the page with all the notes I took of all the stages of labor. Like I remember copy and pasting just that little section in the top right where I started taking notes and I was like âoh I should probably just dedicate a whole pageâ and I DID but now itâs GONE and I highkey made my hand sore from writing that much I need to remember to use the text option in Procreate more lol.
Iâm too lazy to rewrite those notes but it was genuinely interesting learning about the processes and stuff, and also I didnât know that oxytocin was like the main character of your bodyâs hormones when you go into labor and I found that fascinating. But yeah also having your significant other helping you through your labor physically and emotionally genuinely just makes oxytocin faster for you and I just think thatâs really sweet like awwwwww thanks babe I need your energy for my brain chemicals now.
Various examples of a few birthing positions I found when researching, some are good for stage 1 during early and active labor, and others are better for stage 2 when pushing etc etc
Not sure why I didnât label anything with specific stages that wouldâve been helpful but around here is when Shadow goes into stage 2. At this point the body is ready to starting pushing, the cervix is dilated 10cm and this is when the most intense contractions happen, the body automatically feeling a strong urge to push with each one.
If you couldnât tell Iâm a big fan of Shadow hurt/Sonic comforting him and in this case itâs Sonic helping Shadow through what I saw someone refer to as a âcategory 5 tummy eventâ for labor
At this point Shadowâs been in labor for around 24 hours ish (because I want him to suffer) (but also statistically if itâs the bodyâs first time delivering a baby it takes a lot longer than a second or third child). Stage 1 (early and active labor, cervix dilating) takes the longest, averaging around 12-19 hours just to reach a full 10cm. Stage 2 is shorter but it is the most physically âlaboriousâ part of labor, it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours.
Not to get into specifics for Shadowâs anatomy, but I also think his body would already put him through a longer labor because of his healing abilities and the speed at which he can do so. During labor, youâre not technically âinjuringâ anything, but your cervix has to dilate to let the baby through, and I feel like maybe his bioengineered genetics would just be at a constant war with his physical body and state if that makes sense. Like his body starts to go into labor, his brain and hormones and chemical processes all start working on getting this baby delivered, but then his super fast healing abilities are like âERROR. CATEGORY 5 TUMMY EVENT OCCURING. PLEASE SUSPEND ALL OTHER BODILY FUNCTIONS LA LA LA.â idk something like that lol
Highly recommend watching different species of animals give birth if that sounds interesting (weird obviously but I promise itâs fascinating). Like most mammals have it similar to humans where you gotta push out an entire baby but then you have land mammals and ocean mammals and dolphins and sharks are really funny cause they just swim around and then theyre like âoh shit I dropped my baby out of my vaginaâ and then you have cats when they give birth they give all their kittens Warrior Cat names like Firekit and Specklekit.
Actually my favorite thing to draw always and forever is Shadow seeing his baby for the first time and also Sonic seeing his baby for the first time and itâs like a tiny little them aughshdlfshdf lalalalala. I want to color this completely later
And then these last 3 are reuploads but Iâm posting them again here so you put all the context together.
And thatâs the pregnant Shadow for now! Dw tho Spectral gets a little sister later, so Shadowâs gotta give birth to that creature as well.
Sjjadkskfnfkksjd anyway I know itâs been like 6 months since I posted the first part of Shadow going into labor Iâm sorry for not sharing these sooner I wish I had the time that I think I do to draw gay hedgehogs and then I realize that I work 40hrs a week and also am an engineering student and I just get so sidetracked with lifeâŚ.
For everyone who wanted to see Shadow giving birth I hope the wait was worth it sort of at least??? I seriously love you guys so much you get me â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ like thank you for the amount of support Iâve gotten bc I was not expecting it at all I thought everyone would think I was cringefail or something.
I will see you again soonâŚ.at some point this year I promise I have to work on logic gates now lol.
can you make some more mechpreg starscreammm heâs just so cuteeee and I love that he (and Megatron) looks so calm hahaha. I meanâŚare they even calm even through pregnancy?
Calm Starscream moments are very few and far between. Megs was wise enough to keep his distance and thoughts to himself here so he could cherish the rare silence.
Most days during Starscreamâs gestation, however:
i had the realization that because of how i hc cybertronian anatomy, jacking off would just kinda look like...this
(hcs below if youre curious)
ive been trying to iron it out more since port placement and cable placement and the general functions of them will be important for some fics later, but for now this is pretty much the basics. few little extra bullet points tho!
-wrist cables are not very extendable at all, theyre quite short as opposed to the thigh cables, which can extend longer
-a common practice between partners would be to plug in each others cables at the same time, but some people prefer it one at a time or only use their cable/port
-chest and neck do not have cables, only ports. you Can put wrist/thigh cables in those ports, but their original function is for diagnostic scans or downloading medical code patches
-using the neck port early on is considered pretty kinky, chest port might get a brow raise but its not unheard of, and pretending to exchange information with wrist ports while actually interfacing is a whole genre of erotica
-neck port is the only one that gives the cable-user a view into the other mechs processor. they cant do anything with it like a mnemosurgeon could, and its mostly emotions and vague impressions of images, but its still considered incredibly intimate
-for mechs that dont have mouths, there is false insulant fluid available
im pretty sure none of this is super original or anything, but its nice to have a guidline for myself + something to link back to whenever i actually post those fics
