Ok ok so I started reading the book American Gods right after finishing Season 3 of the show, because SURELY the book is better (it is) and now the show is cancelled and it MIGHT get a 2.5 hour tv movie to wrap this shit up. AND THIS COULD ALL HAVE BEEN AVOIDED!!! This ain’t Gaiman’s fault this is Fuller going at a SNAIL’S pace for S1 and trying to drag this shit out from the start to be a GoT for Starz. S1 moves through the opening 149 pages of the book at a good pace, and then stops to go on a season-long detour meeting gods early and fleshing out the stories of other gods. Which is fine in moderation.

Then in S2 we finally pick up onto Page 150 and the season meanders some more because of behind the scenes fuckery. Eventually the season ends and it looks like we’re headed to Part II of the book and Lakeside. But no we spend two episodes of S3 to get Shadow to Lakeside then have him settle in. Ok, fine, w/e. S3 just PLOWS through the next 300 pages of the book and ends at then end of Chapter 16 with Shadow on Yggdrasil. This pacing nightmare was entirely avoidable. And hell I enjoyed some of the more meandery episodes like the one at The Grand Peacock Inn. The cast was insanely great but damn the material and the pacing were way off.

What should have been the case was, at the start of production outline the whole adaptation of the book. 10 episodes each season. S1 gets to House on the Rock halfway through and ends with Shadow on the bus to Lakeside. S2 starts with him arriving at Lakeside and ends with Wednesday’s death. S3 SHOULD have been starting with the funeral and Yggdrasil and then ending on, well, the ending. 10 episodes a seasn nets you plenty of time to adapt AND expand the story. Like, I was VIBING to Tech Boy’s new plotline and Salim’s character arc and the expansion of Bilquis’ role in the story and the episode in S2 about the Gods in the 30s was ONE OF THE BEST OF THE SEASON! Jfc this show is a mess.

Pregnancy and two Supernatural husband's.

Morning nausea was never a feeling a first time mother to a pair of fraternal twins that were four months away could get use to.

Then a few months later the sensation of having to hurl your guts out the moment you wake up from a night of kicking in your abdomen, then the insatiable cravings for a variety of foods, and not to mention the mood swings and swollen ankles were only a percentage of what this pregnancy was putting you through.

And having two big, strapping, overprotective God and Demigod husbands that monitor your every move and tended to every need was mind numbing in itself.

Shadow had transformed into a complete control freak that never let you go near anything that he deemed unsafe for you and your unborn children. Things that fell under that category were the stove (not allowed to cook because he became the family chef, the car (anxiety was all he would feel whenever you wanted to drive somewhere so he'd do it instead), the bathroom (you'd restrict him as much as you could in this area but he always complained that you might slip and hurt yourself if he wasn't there) and the list goes on.

Sweeny was a little more bearable but his need to protect and keep away any and all threats from his family was at an all time high.

Once when the three of you decided to go to the mall to do some early baby shopping, a man had accidently bumped into you and before he could utter an apology, Sweeny had grabbed the guy by the collar and hoisted him off the ground shouting profanities in gaelic while shadow looked on amused.

If someone had warned you being the wife of supernatural beings was this tiring and also carrying their children would turn them into complete alpha wolves, you would have decided to have separate pregnancies.

And at the moment that decision was looking pretty darn good. You were right now wide awake and trying to focus on anything that wasn't the pair in your belly moving around, fully awake and hungry.

Usually they sleep when you do but since they were only a few months away, you guessed they were just getting restless.

You looked over to your left and watched as Sweeny slept on his side. His mouth wide open with drool at the end of his mouth but thankfully he wasn't snoring.

On your right Shadow was cuddled a pillow that was trapped between his muscular arms. He, like Sweeny were big cuddlers so to avoid being suffocated by their bulking muscles and body heat, you had to barricade yourself on each side with most of the pillows to get somewhat of a comfortable nights sleep.  But now even your children wouldn't let you have that luxury.

Deciding that enough was enough, you left the bed as quietly as you could and woddled your way down the steps and made your way into the kitchen.

There was bound to be something you could whip up that caused little to no noise to notify your husband's that you were up and also to satisfy the two ravenous demigods that demanded to be fed.

"I swear when you two are born and after breast feeding  your father's are going to feed you from hence forth, because this is getting ridiculous." You said to your belly sternly.

You loved your children but you already knew that you weren't going to be able to keep up with their appetites as they'll get older.

"Babe, what are you doing in the fridge?" You couldn't help but groan in annoyance being caught by your husband. You didn't even make it to opening the fridge all the way yet and he was already onto you.

You looked over to the entrance of the kitchen to find Shadow fully alert, awake and completely shirtless. The only thing that left a little something to the imagination was the baggy sweatpants that were hanging dangerously low off his waist.

"I'm tired and your children wouln't let me sleep because they're hungry, again."

"Why didn't you wake me up to cook something for you?"

"Shadow, it's four in the morning. I think I can manage to make a sandwich to last me until breakfast." You could feel the disapproval radiating off of his as he shook his head.

"A sandwich? You know there's no nutritional value in that."

"But it's what they want and they wouln't let me sleep until they get it." Shadow walked up and pulled you into a comforting hug. He knew how frustrated the last couple of months have been on you. Having to bear children by two strong God's couldn't be easy and he just wanted to make sure he did his part to make the process as smooth and comfortable for you as possible.

"You know what. I'll make you that sandwich and get you some ice cream. We shouldn't give into the cravings but, you deserve to be spoiled a little for working so hard."

Him just saying those words made you feel a while lot better. You pulled him down by the neck to kiss him and to make sure he knew you loved the fact that he was going to let you eat some junk food for once.

"Why are you two up so bloody early?" You broke the embrace when Sweeny walked in looking completely worn out. Unlike Shadow he was wearing a white vest and a pair of lucky charms boxers you had gotten him as a joke. But he seemed to love them so you didn't make a big deal of seeing them on him.

"The kids are hungry, so I came to get something."

"Why didn't you just let him get up to make something?" He pointed at Shadow while making his way to you. He pulled you away from Shadow to embrace you and use you as a stand up headrest.

"Why are you up again?" Shadow asked annoyed that Sweeny was hogging you.

"Because the bed was cold and my wife wasn't there, you got a problem with that Moon?"

"Ok I'm gonna sit in the living room to relax. Shadow food, Sweeny come with me."

Despite sharing a wife and each of their children sharing a womb, Sweeny and Shadow still had a bit of 'bad blood' between them. Sure they respected eachother, but when it comes to the things they deem 'theirs' things could get a bit competitive.

"You'd think you'd be the cranky one love." Sweeny whispered as you lead him to the couch.

"Would you just come here? It's like you want him to beat you up."

"Like hell he could, couldn't beat me if I was tied to a chair and had a blind fold on."

Men having huge who's was one thing, but a gods ego was always way above average. They always had to prove who was the best.

"I'm sorry sweetie, your right you're a great fighter." You lowered yourself into the couch and patted the empty space for the towering leprechaun to sit next to you.

"You look tired darlin', should be gettin' some proper sleep."

"Tell them that. They're probably more excited to get out of there than I am."

Sweeny made himself comfortable between your legs and rested his head in your belly to listen.

"Still can't get over the fact it's only been six months. Just think, in three more they'll pop right out of you."

"Pop right out? You do know it wouln't be so simple right?"

"I know, and don't you go getting worried about anything. I'll be right there beside you."

"And me, of course." Shadow pitched in handing you your sandwitch and placed the ice cream in the coffee table infront of you when you were ready for it.

"But she'll need me more. I've had experience, what are you bring to the table?"

"I'll be there to support her of course, you may have experience  but we both know I'm the one she'll need the most."

You sat quietly biting into your meal and decided it was use less to stop them from bickering. They were hot headed but they had yours and their babies interest at heart.
