Since it's Father's Day at the time of typing this, how would the babies celebrate Father's Day? For example, the peachicks trying to make a crown for Vil out of their shed feathers, or Mailk having the Human's help to cook something for Kalim, or how about Petal making a flower crown and necklace for Riddle.
Warnings: Half-Humans being cute with their fathers, platonic yanderes,
Impisa begs The Human to help her make a good feast for Ruggie, doing everything she can to make food for her papa whom she loves so much. She snacks throughout cooking on the food and Ruggie- because he knows she is trying to surprise him- keeps his distance and acts surprised so Impisa feels like she has succeeded in getting him a gift and surprising him with it. They spend all day playing chase and rough-housing.
Vil's chicks actually surprise him on set while he is filming. He completely forgot it was even Father's day, but the chicks didn't and Eric didn't. Eric is the primary baby sitter, but the entire shoot stops the second any of the producers notice the chicks and begin cooing over them. They are quick to swarm Vil and cuddle into him, wishing him a happy Father's day. No more filming gets done as Vil spends the rest of the day with is babies. The other actors, producers, and directors are all head-over-heels for the little chicks and indulge the tiny terrors any time they want something.
Selene is making drawings, cards, and food, for Lilia. She is thrilled to show him what she can do and he is happy to praise her for it. She already spends so much time with her Papa, she is just happy to spend time with him. Lilia is equally happy to have so much time with his little girl, he will dress up in a tutu and have a tea-party with his little girl. The whole day and night is just for Lilia to spend time with his daughter and it is clear he loves her all the more for it.
The Royal Clutch don't know it is Father's day, but they are always ready to bother their father and hang off of his tail/wings no matter what time it is or what he is doing. He could be in the middle of heated meetings with Queen Helena from the Queendom of Roses in an attempt to strike up a close alliance with Briar Valley, and in come the Royal Hatchlings, as precious as can be, waddling their chubby little legs over to their father with indignant squeaks and cries for attention. Queen Helena feels nothing but sheer maternal instinct upon seeing the veritable rainbow of dragons screaming at their father for attention. Malleus puts the meeting on hold and cuddles the babies until they have their fill and run back to the Human. There is no telling infant Dragons 'no' because they don't care and don't understand anyways.
Petal makes flower crowns for herself and Riddle, so excited to show him she almost trips on her little hooves and almost falls because of how excited she is to give him the gift. Riddle cries. He flat out sobs in joy at the little gift Petal has made for him and spends all day playing games with her and nearly having a heart-attack when Trey shows up to teach Petal how to swim. He is the definition of a stressed father and will pace the bank of the lake while squealing at Trey to be careful with Petal.
The Human is both mother and father to Grim, so he will be spending the day with the Human and cuddling them happily. He adores the Human no matter what. If anyone questions Grim as to why he insists on Mother's day and Father's day being spent with The Human, Grim will scream that the Human is his Mother AND Father. he just wants to be around the Human he sees as his parent.
I just finished your HAE au fanfic and it's just epic 👌✨.
I don't know if you have already explained this or not but is there a reason why Hellcats in HAE au are the only species immune to the human addiction? If it were possible for Grim to not get addicted to his mom aura then is it possible for others to somehow gain this advantage?? Also despite the fact that Grim doesn't get addicted, what does it mean if he ever overblots one day and could his human save him from the blot or something?
Grim cannot become addicted because- technically- Hellcats are not fully sentient/sapient the way other species are. Grim is, but he is an anomaly compared to other Hellcats. He can stand upright, he can talk, he can consciously learn and use magic. Grim is an outlier among Hellcats.
The story will eventually get into why Grim is so unique, but the short answer is he is a true animal-beast who shouldn't have sentience like the others. Due to an outside force acting upon him when he was newly born, Grim is a tier above other Hellcats. Hellcats are immune to most things due to being from Tartarus, being a species that never interacted with Humans as Hellcats never really left Tartarus. He never evolved to have that addiction where Shinigami- who can enter and exit Tartarus thanks to Hades- did evolve to have that Human centered crutch.
The second the Human passes out is the second the Hatchlings squeal loudly. Grim is quick to step in and try to hush up the Hatchlings. When Grim gets close and hushes them is when Mallechite gets the braincell and gets his siblings in line. Suddenly, the infant Dragons are all crawling towards their parent, squeaking softly and communicating together as Grim helps pile them onto the bed. They all fuss until they are placed onto the unconscious Human to which they settle down and go quiet.
Grim hisses when Malleus, Lilia, Maleficent, or Malefica attempt to touch the Hatchlings, insisting that they need to leave the infants alone. They hatched very suddenly because of how much the Human loves them, that love of the Human keeps them quiet and peaceful. The others trying to hold the infants will only make it worse, so Grim takes being an elder brother very seriously. The Hatchlings see Grim's wings, eyes, and horns (as most Hellcats grow horns) and they immediately claim him as their brother, looking to him for guidance while the Human is out. The Dragons are SALTY that Grim is such a good child wrangler and Lilia is beaming in pride.
I can’t remember, but have you already covered the any allergies the different monsters species might have? It could be food allergies or seasonal.
I've only gone in depth about Caffeine and the monster men species, but I would be happy to expand upon some allergies the various monster species have due to species restrictions!
Caffeine Link:
I remember that you said that caffeine works differently on different monsters. What are those effects?
Warnings; different HAE AU species o
Canine species have severe allergies to Chocolate, Caffeine, Grapes, Onions (of all kinds, including shallots as well), cherries, and overly salty foods.
Jack in particular despises the smell of onions and will even cover his sensitive nose so he doesn't have to smell them. Grapes (and raisins) make Jack start dry heaving and will even cause him to become extremely ill if he accidentally ingests one, same with cherries. Jack doesn't like overly salty things and has issues with salt-water as a result. The taste is unappealing and he doesn't like how thirsty salty things make him.
Ruggie does GREAT with caffeine despite how hard he will crash when he has caffeine. Ruggie is also able to consume almost anything without negative effects other than hair and horns. Grapes are not great for Gnolls, but they can still eat them if starving. Ruggie doesn't love the smell of onions and they somewhat upset his stomach, but he can still eat some if he needs to. He would rather not have to eat things he isn't overly fond of, but a starving Gnoll will eat whatever they can find.
Sebek loves caffeine but has a hard crash when he ingests it. It gives him zoomies and he will be hyped until the moment he crashes, to which he will sleep for an extended period of time. Unlike the other canine species, Sebek can withstand salt quiet well due to his Fae-Raiju heritage and doesn't have as extreme of an aversion to salts.
Harpies don't do well with caffeine, as it can make them enter a state of pure panic, though they can still somewhat ingest more caffeine than other species (like werewolves and centaurs). Onions and Garlic are not great for them, as they can cause anemia and even liver failure if ingested in large amounts. They also need to avoid certain fruit seeds, as they contain cyanide and can kill the Harpies in large amounts. Chocolate isn't great for them, nor is dairy or Alcohol, but they can still ingest them in small amounts.
Neige has a particular dislike for apples, having almost choked on one and now avoids apples as a rule of thumb due to his past experience.
Crowley LOVES alcohol, though it isn't great for Harpies. As a Fae Harpy, Crowley has a greater resistance to alcohol and it doesn't affect him as much as it would impact non-Fae Harpies.
Vil has a strong dislike for Fatty foods. He is more partial to sweet foods and nectar due to his Hummingbird heritage, but heavily fatty foods nearly choke Vil when he ingests them and he becomes rather bloated if he ingests too much.
Most feline species share allergens and have similar foods that they avoid when it comes to what they ingest, of course, they all have different levels of how much they can ingest based on age and size. Caffeine isn't great for them, but they can still ingest more than the canine species or Avian species. Onions (as well as leeks, chives, shallots, and garlic) are not great for the feline species and can lead to anemia due to the potential damage onions (and other onion-like plants) can cause on their red blood-cells. Citrus can cause intense gastrointestinal upset in feline species.
Che'nya LOVES caffeine and has built up quite a tolerance to it due to it being so prevalent in the Queendom of Roses. He will often eat coffee beans when he can find them.
Trein loves his tea and will continue to drink it even if the caffeine in it isn't great for him. He also has a fondness for onions, so he will occasionally eat them when he is craving them.
Leona won't eat any vegetables or fruit unless the Human asks him, and he isn't particularly interested in caffeine, so he leans far more into a carnivore only diet.
Jasper likes citrus despite the fact that it sometimes upsets his stomach. He knows his limits, but loves the sharp tang of citrus fruits.
Grim is immune to most ailments caused by food. He can ingest all foods most feline species cannot and can even ingest rocks and tree-bark to fill up his stomach. If he had a choice, he would rather a meat heavy diet that includes large amounts of fish.
Most of the Ungulate species (excepting Kelpies) are unable to eat large amounts of meat. It doesn't process well in their stomachs and can result in bloat as well as death if too much is consumed. They can eat meat in smaller amounts, but large amounts of meat does not do well for the ungulate species. Fruits with pits are also not great for the Ungulate species, as many of the pits in fruit contain toxins they cannot digest.
Alistair doesn't like heavy meats, more partial to lighter meats like chicken when he does choose to partake. He also is fond of white-fish because they are not too heavy on his stomach.
Riddle is partial to Caffeine in small doses, such as teas, but he does not like coffee as it is too strong for him. He also is more leaning towards white-fish and white-meats over red-meat.
Ace and Deuce can eat almost anything, but Garlic and Onions can cause gastrointestinal upset and can even result in illness. Ace is well known for eating EVERYTHING, so he has to visit Crewel quite often to have his stomach pumped because he ate something he wasn't supposed to. Deuce is better about avoiding foods that are bad for him, but he does love to consume eggs on the regular and will occasionally get Salmonella from eating raw eggs.
Silver does not like meats of any kind. He can eat meats, but he is far more on the scale of herbivore than others and will avoid eating meats if he can. He is more partial to fruits and veggies, even to tree-bark in a pinch. He will eat meat if offered by Malleus, The Human, or Lilia, but he is not overly fond of meats.
Vargas has a much more omnivorous diet compared to the other ungulates and will eat meats if offered. He has an extreme sensitivity to corn and will avoid it as it doesn't digest well in his stomach compared to other vegetables.
Nymphs vary in foods that they can and cannot consume. Most foods are safe for Nymphs to eat depending on their various elements. There is no one item that is considered deadly among all nymphs as the elements they are changes what is overly safe for them to consume.
Fire Nymphs are unable to consume anything too juicy or full of liquid. Grapes are the juiciest thing that a fire Nymph can consume. Too much liquid and the Fire Nymph risks harming their cores and potentially smothering their cores. Drier foods and salt cured foods are better for Flame Nymphs. Wood is also an acceptable food that they can consume as it is more fuel for their fires. Rollo is particularly fond of grapes.
Water Nymphs can consume things that are not too drying, so they tend to avoid dried or cured foods. Juicy foods such as watermelon, Oranges, and other liquid filled foods are best for water Nymphs. Cater in particular is a fresh-water Lake Nymph, so he doesn't do well with salts, but salt-water Nymphs are able to endure large amounts of salt in their diets and in their water.
Plant Nymphs are fairly capable of consuming most things, from rotting food, to plants that are heavy in cyanide, there is little that cannot be consumed by a plant nymph. Pure toxins and pesticides can cause damage to them which can impact what they can consume, but is not that large of a risk for them.
Air Nymphs are more partial to lighter foods, less meats and dense meals. There is not much an Air Nymph cannot consume, but they are often able to consume most foods around them. Kida in particular is more fond of plants such as mint, peppermint, and other herbs. He is not overly fond of meat.
Genies are technically Magic Nymphs and they do not need to eat any foods to sustain themselves as they subsist off of residual magic other species let off. Kalim has a fondness for eating and drinking anything he can, as he simply enjoys the sensation and act of eating.
Most Merfolk have varying foods that they can consume, primarily piscivores and frequently eat other fish given where they live. Most can eat foods that can be found in the ocean and will prefer those foods over what can be found on land. Many merfolk have sensitivities towards red-meats but it also depends on the species as well. Caffeine isn't always great for them to consume, but they still enjoy the foods that they have.
Jade and Floyd are able to eat red-meats easier than many other Merfolk as they have adjusted to life on land well. Jade is overly fond of mushrooms which most Merfolk cannot stand, making him unusual among Merfolk like himself. Floyd is primarily a carnivore and will go out of his way to try different meats over vegetables or fruits that he finds.
Azul is a caffeine FIEND and will go out of his way to find caffeine to consume, be it teas or coffee. Azul is not overly fond of red-meats and is more partial to poultry than he is to the red-meats Floyd drags back to Octavinelle with him.
Driders cannot STAND peppermint, garlic, lavender, and citrus. The scents often drive them away and can cause gastrointestinal issues if consumed or put into their meals. Most Driders are carnivore and insectivores.
Rook will tolerate small doses of Lavender, Citrus, and Peppermint as Vil is partial to these smells, but in large amounts they will make him physically ill if he is around them. Garlic is akin to poison to Rook and he will do all he can to avoid garlic or garlicy foods that he is presented with. He will willingly consume garlic if it was put into a meal by the Human despite the fact it will make him violently ill. He will continue to eat this garlic infused food so long as it is the Human who offers it to him. He finds nothing more beautiful than consuming the food that was made for him even if it is heavily laced with poison. He is a simp first and foremost.
Bat Fae- and even regular Bat species- are not big into eating fatty meats, but otherwise do not have many foods that they cannot consume. Vampire Bats in particular just need to ensure that they consume blood from other species so they can obtain certain vitamins that their bodies cannot synthesize from the other foods they consume.
Lilia in particular is picky based on texture and less on the contents of their foods. Fluffy foods (like marshmallows) are detestable to Lilia, where he prefers more chewy foods over flaky or intensely squishy foods. Lilia is more fond of foods that are red in coloration as they remind him of blood. He is also very big into caffeine and alcohols as they soothe him and almost pacify him when he consumes them.
Dragons do not have any particular food sensitivities. Preference for foods is based off of the personal tastes of the Dragon themselves.
Malleus likes cold and sweet treats. Frozen fruits, frozen drinks, things of that nature. He is less partial to large meals as he rarely has anyone to actually share those meals with. This is- in part- why he adores what the Human cooks because it draws in others so he is able to have meals with a group instead of by himself like he is often relegated to doing.
Teumessian Foxes do not do well with caffeine, chocolate, or Grapes/raisins. Caffeine can easily overwork their hearts and make them collapse if they ingest too much. They also struggle to digest chocolate as their bodies cannot properly process chocolates. Most Teumessian Foxes are omnivores, leaning closer to carnivores.
Robin has a particular preference for lean meats; rabbit, poultry, fish. Robin will partake in caffeine if available, but he walks a fine line between consuming too much and consuming a safe amount.
Shinigami don't need to eat as much or as often as most of the other species. A lot of Shinigami don't really eat foods beyond the sparse and dry foods that can be found in Tartarus. The Shrouds are unique in that most of them have adjusted to a calorie heavy diet due to the abundant food that can be found in Twisted Wonderland. Naturally, most Shinigami do not have this privilege as they live almost exclusively in Tartarus.
Idia likes snacky food but rarely finishes any meals he has. He will pick at his food and eat what he is given, but he leans more towards liquids and fruit juices over heavy meals.
Ortho has a few more sensitivities than other Shinigami due to the many injuries he sustained while being mauled by his Feral ancestor. Smaller foods, steamed veggies, and lighter meats are better for Ortho as they don't bloat his stomach or put pressure against his damaged organs. He has an artificial lung, half of his small intestine is artificial, and his stomach is smaller due to losing a portion of it during the attack. He has more frequent meals than his brother, but they are lesser in size so his body can properly digest the foods he eats.
The absolute panic the guys have the moment Grim calls for Mama is enough to make Grim the most coddled and spoiled little student of NRC. You know for a fact he will use his standing as the Human's #1 favorite to get Tuna, shiny things, and all of the above from the other students. He may even use it on the professors. He is only a good Hellcat for his Mama, everyone else gets Little Brat Grim instead.
You know what? What if the human just… proceeds to cry over the cuteness of their own half human babies? And the yans are confused but worried about if their beloved human is okay
I would not be able to handle that much cuteness without proceeding to cry while cuddling into grim and the babies
All of the Human's babies (so far) being held as they just sob over how cute the babies are in so many ways. Naturally, the Royal Clutch is trying to lick your cheeks and make you stop crying, but that only makes you cry harder because they are so damn cute! The cubs are mewling in confusion and wondering why you are crying, using their little hands to try and stop your tears but just managing to smack your face in their attempts. Baby Malik (Kalim's genie child) is offering you his lamp with chubby little hands because it always makes him happy, maybe it can make you happy too? The peachicks are trying to sing for you to make you stop crying, their little warbling coos so precious and small as they try to get you to smile. The Werewolf pups are whining gently and nosing your cheeks, trying to get you to stop crying as they whimper and tilt their little heads in confusion, their tails slowly wagging to try and make you smile. The Driderlings are climbing your back, trying to hug you and hold onto you in an effort to make you smile as they cuddle close.
Grim is just living for the snuggles and is happily encouraging the infants to snuggle you more (he is about the size of a bob-cat at this point) and hisses at the yanderes who dare interrupt this tender moment of cuddling.
Grim is definitely Star material! He looks so cute in the little clothes for each dorm!
Did some of the monster men help make him head accessories?
The headphones, Peacock hairpin(?) and little Diasomnia hat is adorable!
Sorry I’m currently very weak to cuteness at the moment 😭
Yes, actually! All of the Housewardens wants so badly for the Human to join their dorm, they decided to give Grim his own official uniform for their dorms to show- to both Grim and The Human- that they are welcome in the dorms at any given time.
In the Diasomnia uniform, Grim's sleeves are just a bit too long for his little paws, so they are covered up a lot like how Lilia has his hands covered by his uniform jacket. It took them a little bit to figure out how Grim's hat was supposed to sit on his head, so they decided he should have a little headband to keep it on him. He does get frustrated with the many belts, so more often than not, the Human has to dress up Grim in his outfit or else the kit will just wear the hat, maybe the pants, and call it good. Lilia was cooing over Grim the second he saw the kit dressed up in the uniform, even Sebek had to admit it is adorable. The entirety of Diasomnia adores Grim and will coddle him the moment they see him dressed up in the uniform.
Papa Hades was the one to make the miniature Ignihyde outfit, because he thinks Grim would look adorable in it- and he is right- wanting Grim to have a certain bond with Idia and Ortho through the outfit. The sleeves are also too long for his little paws, but he looks all the cuter for it. Idia is the one who added the headphones- that absolutely do not fit properly, given they go past his ears- but the Kit cried about not having headphones to the point Idia folded and made them purely for aesthetic reasons. Grim LOVES them. He can easily put this one on himself as it is just the pants, jacket, and headphones. Idia actually giggled when he first saw Grim in the uniform and is devoted to befriending the kit to get close to the Human and because he is obsessed with the idea of having a personal Hellcat due to the bond Shinigami often form with Hellcats.
Vil and Rook hand stitched the outfit and Vil even used one of his tailfeathers to make the headpiece, cutting it into a heart for the Kit and using Epel's blooms as inspiration for the more floral design of the cloth flower on the headpiece. The big bow on his back is purely decorative and is sewn into the outer clothes so it can't be messed up or untied. It is a good thing Grim's right eye doesn't work very well or else he would be extremely distracted by the dangling shiny stones on the headpiece. Those are actual gems on his headpiece, Rubies and Sapphires and there are even a few on the headband piece that holds the ensemble in place. Amethysts were used for his little shirt buttons. This is another uniform the Human has to help Grim put on given his paws are a little less coordinated with the buttons.
Kalim suggested it, Jamil made it. The golden bands and snakes are actually gold, and golden thread was used to make his clothes, so they shine like gold due to being actual gold. The little golden coins on his tummy wrap are also high quality gold. The eyes of the snakes are small rubies that were gathered in the Scalding Sands and carefully placed into the uniform. This one is a lot easier for Grim to put on himself. He likes the pants a lot on this uniform due to how loose they are around his legs and don't ruffle his fur.
Azul INSISTED that Grim get this uniform for himself, ensuring that every small detail- including Grim's ears- were accounted for. Despite how well fitting and tailored this one is, Grim dislikes it due to the numerous layers and buttons he needs to fiddle with just to get the clothes on. This is another uniform the Human has to help Grim adorn due to the buttons. The bowtie has to be tied around Grim's tracker so it holds itself in place and looks more natural on him.
Leona 'persuaded' his dorm members to make the uniform for Grim, from the leather jacket, to the distressed jeans, he wanted to make it clear that Grim was a member of the Pride. Where almost all Savanaclaw members have a similar necklace, Leona took it a step further and had Fallena actually commission the necklace to be made out of genuine gold and gemstones for the little kit. Grim adores how rugged it makes him look despite the pants being a little too fitted for his liking. When he wants to hype himself up, he puts on the Savanaclaw uniform to feel braver. This is an outfit that Grim can put on himself because it doesn't require a bunch of buttons or fine motor skills to adorn.
Riddle insisted that Trey and Cater help him craft the Uniform for Grim, giving Grim the Jack of Hearts as his card. Each part was carefully measured and adjusted so it would fit the Kit well. Grim likes the design of the uniform, but he hates those buttons and often needs the Human's help to put the uniform on as a result. He loves chasing the yellow and black ribbon tied around his waist and will even 'meow' at it when the Human tries to tie it around him. Much to Riddle's chagrin, Grim likes to suddenly spout off random rules- that are not actually Queen's rules- whenever he is dressed in the Heartslabyul uniform. Cater thinks it is hilarious.
