I cannot tell you how cool I think the miniature light spirit belt you gave Midna's outfit is. Both your Ranger Link and Queen Midna designs are great, but that snake-detail especially is so original and distinctive!

gosh thank you so much!! I am really so happy u noticed that detail !!

I couldn’t help but think about how being exposed to lanayru’s light was probably such an intense moment for her 🥲

SANRAI IS SO PRETTYYYYYY id love to know more of her lore

Tysm!! Her lore is largely undeveloped since I am shy 🙈 I am happy u like her !!!

In the end I wanted her father’s identity to be a complete mystery to her, and also to Link!

There is no way he would’ve let Midna leave if he knew

There would be no way to keep Sanrai close if she knew either

since Midna is a play on "midnight", sanrai’s name is a play on "sunrise" or “sunlight”

She was inspired the most by a drawing I did of ‘midna reincarnated’ finding a ‘hidden portal’ a way from the Twilight Realm back to Hyrule

Generally I wanted her to take after link in terms of face shape, shorter stockier build, but retain much of her mother’s colouring, sassiness etc. a twili girl at the end of the day but with a hylian written all over her features

My favourite thing about her design is the markings on her face if you lift her bangs, it should look like a wolf we all know and love. Her shoulder too! I used the official art to sort of try to capture his face shape in hers, and ofc looked at lots of wolf link as well!! Her headpiece mirrors some of wolf link’s shapes as well. I really wanted this silent yearning for Link present in how Midna cares for her, designs her clothing and jewelry etc. since more than her beloved daughter, Sanrai is the constant reminder of what she left behind to protect them both

I wrote the start of the fic that would probably lead to Sanrai but never finished it… u can read some of that here:

When Mark got mpregnant with Natasha, i feel like Danny got? Scared? in the way that he was scared to be a dad, to be a father to his own child. After Natasha was born though, he LOVED being a dad, and doesnt know why he was so scared about it before, as that isn't usually "in character" for him

Oh yeah! Especially because it took Mark so long to actually tell him he was pregnant, the overall sense of urgency and spontaneity of it all caught Danny completely off guard.

He probably tries to keep it to himself because he doesn't want to stress out or upset Mark (who's especially sensitive at that time) but it shows through regardless of his best attempts at hiding it. It eventually comes to a head and results in them both having an honest conversation about their respective feelings about the baby and the fact that they're about to be dads.

And yes, Danny ADORES his little Nata. He's naturally very good with her (albeit he was initially awkward with her at times) but being around her and looking after her gives him so much energy and happiness that he really does wonder why he ever got so scared.

I also firmly believe that Danny and Mark would be such fun dads. Maybe not as strict or tough as they ought to be but they are a very fun family and love each other dearly.

i feel like Bob1 always wanted kids, as being the second oldest in his family, he most likely took care of his younger siblings sometimes, and felt sort of parental towards them.

I completely agree! I think him and Mark both took up so much responsibility looking after their younger siblings but it impacted them both in slightly opposite ways. For Mark, it didn't really have an effect on his desire for kids in the future (but it did make him adapt to fatherhood pretty quickly when it did happen) but for Bob1 it definitely cemented in him a strong desire to raise his own kids someday.

This could also perfectly explain how both of them are able to handle their respective litters without getting overwhelmed or losing track of any of the kids.

I miss you

I'm still here! I've just been having some writers block which has slowed me down. ❤️ Sorry for being so inactive lately.

Ask box is always open to anyone down to talk spudpreg with me.

i feel asthough Alan never really thought that he'd be able to have children. it never really came to mind for him, so when he realized he was pregnant with Ethan and Eli, it was a shock to him.(though he was also excited when he did find out)

Oh yes! It was a bit of a shock for all three of them but it was the biggest for Alan by far.

He must have spent the days leading up to the discovery trying to find any other explanation for why he was feeling so sick/different because of how firmly he believed that pregnancy was out of the question for him. And of course after finding out, he was hit with a whole wave of emotions, shock being the main one. But I also can't help but feel like he secretly longed to experience pregnancy after watching Bob1 and Mark go through it themselves? Like at the very least he was incredibly curious about how it must feel and the apathetic/sarcastic answers Mark or Bob1 gave when he asked about it just weren't enough to quell that curiosity.

So with that being said, it didn't take long for the shock to turn to cautious joy when he finds out. Also maybe it's just because I believe that Alan (fictional yaoi version of him or otherwise) deserves nothing but the best, I imagine that his pregnancy symptoms aren't NEARLY as bad as they are for the other two spuds. Maybe he has effective ways of managing every pain and discomfort or maybe he just got lucky. It still doesn't stop him from worrying and he DEFINITELY can't stop the Bobs from worrying about him. (Reminder that Ethan/Eli and Josie were born within a couple months of each other, so Bob2 had his work cut out for him looking after his pregnant boyfriends.)
