What’s your favorite fantasy species to imagine birth scenarios for? Happy birthday :)
oooh okay, SO
ive got two answers for that, and a little ✨ propaganda ✨ to add in
My favorite fantasy setting birth scenarios involve elves! they always seem so graceful and poised in all aspects of their lives, I imagine they'd be very calm and vocal during labor, maybe even experiencing a more erotic side of birth because they don't feel so stressed out. I also like to picture that Elven births are a very public event and it's not highly unusual to see someone spontaneously going into labour and giving birth pretty much anywhere. It's fairly common to see someone giving birth at the local hot springs or delivering their baby at the Saturday morning market. No one really bats an eye and the village often gather in a large crowd to watch the event.
I also love a good centaur birth! I think the idea of being spread open around not only the human half of the baby, but also the much bigger, much less flexible horse half of the foal would be incredible. I recently saw a head cannon about centaurs having two different labours and births, one where the foal is birthed from the human half to the horse half, and then the much more difficult foaling from the horse half, and that's definitely given me some things to think about before I go to bed 🙃🙃
