Something I noticed in the Ahsoka premiere was the Macbeth reference. Episode 2 is called “Toil and Trouble,” and with the Nightsister witch Morgan Elsbeth as a primary villain, it’s not surprising that we got a reference to Shakespeare’s famous witches:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
This isn’t the only reference to Shakespeare that Rebels and Ahsoka fans have been discussing lately.
@jedi-nurse shared this with me recently. It’s an official Topps digital trading card featuring Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger. The card is titled “Star-crossed.” This could be a reference to Shakespeare’s most famous lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
The term “star-crossed lovers” is generally used to describe two people who love each other deeply but cannot be together due to tragic circumstances, and I think this is where Sabine and Ezra are at the beginning of the Ahsoka series. They aren’t the first pairing in Star Wars to be associated with the term either. In Attack of the Clones, John Williams gave us a beautiful love theme for Anakin and Padme’ called “Across the Stars” which suggests that they are the tragic “star-crossed” lovers of the Star Wars saga. Being an eternal optimist, I believe that Sabine and Ezra will have a different fate than Anakin and Padme’ and hopefully a much happier ending.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@jedi-nurse I am updating this post with the screenshots you shared on Discord today.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of these cards feature pairings with chemistry and the potential to become canon, or they literally are/were canon couples in Star Wars. Some of these couples even had children together.
We are not delusional to ship Sabezra.
I have spoken.

Thanks to @authoroflight for the original template! (Though I might have customized it beyond recognizability ksdjgnsd)
2023... I got a lot of art done this year compared to past years! Though the year started out slow, between trades and commissions, the first quarter of the year somehow managed to have at least one good drawing a month, even if March's old-sketch-paintover looks a little strange next to all the creatures. XD; May and June continued the theme of painting over old, though June's original was considerably newer than May's. It also took me forever to find it!! Several of the ones I'd been going to put for June turned out to be from different months (no date on them so was going by modified date at first, oops!). And in July of course there was the Clysmia comic, August with the Choco 'comic'. September was another low but I managed to churn out another paintover. October of course had my annual flower-drawing saga with the last one featured here, and in November I got bored and drew Comet, and December held a delightful surprise in the form of a book-illustrating commission. :3 Gonna keep that one to just a preview since it's part of something that'll be published.
But! Let's go through all the rest. Keep reading for more on the rest of the pieces.
January - This was a secret santa for my good friend @toothpaste-dragon of her OC Baz! Love this grumpy crust of an alien. :D You can view the full pic here.
February - This was a commission from @dreagonarchives of her guy Guido! Full pic: x
March - Paintover I did of my character Sleepi from Torn Apart! Since it was done over an older pic the style looks a little incongruent from my current style 😅 But this was also almost a year a go now, so, y'know.
April - My half of a design trade with @chrystallink! Doggos are a bit of a challenge for me, but it was a fun one! Full pic: x
May - A fittingly sunny pic of my character Nola. This was another one that I think had started from a paintover and just went places from there. Still a little strange-looking, but oh well. Plus a photo of some sunflowers in the background. XD
June: Progress pic of an absolute freak. An attempt was made to sketch out a hand to keep it from hiding, but I never did get back to this pic... 😂
July: As mentioned above, a comic for my good friend Dia featuring her gal Clysmia!
August: The tail end of a final ArtFight attack against Chocobir! I had so much fun putting in on the Easter eggs, and Choco is so cute!
September: The suave business lizard himself, it's Nell! Another one that's painted over an older sketch. Overall I think I improved the face shape a bit since the sketch? Maybe?
October: The final flower from Floratober 2023! I had a lot of fun and it was so great getting so much feedback this year. The wonders of posting on places other than Tumblr! lol.
November: Comet from Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san! Whenever I need to get away and draw, Comet is there as my comfort anime. :) It's been a while since I've drawn the girl and watched the last bundle of episodes!
December: And of course, December's art! From a very fittingly snowy-themed project. :) I don't know yet how much I'll be able to talk about it, but it's certainly going to keep me busy for a while!

Rushing things: Chapters 9 to 16
chapters 9 to 16 of my fluff/smut papyton fanfic! (aka the entire pregnancy arc ^^)
Chapter 9: is it worth it?
That was the question Mettaton was asking himself. Now that he remembered it, that movie saga still made him cringe... But, was it worth it, to waste their energy trying to convince a movie director to take down a movie before it comes out?
The more MTT thought about it, the more he realised that plan was ridiculous.
No, it wasn't worth it.
《- Alphys, I think we should just let it slide... let the movie come out, let people see just how awful it is and move on. - W-wow... that was... surprisingly mature of you. Replied the reptile lady. She didn't need to lower her voice anymore, since Undyne moved the cocooned egg to their bedroom (of course, she was still latched to it, but now a forest of spears appeared around her every time anyone other than Alphys tried getting close to her precious.) - So anyway, how's your egg doing? Is it going to hatch soon? Added Mettaton, recovering his usual peppyness. - Oh, uh, y-yes! Said alphys, a bit startled by the sudden tone change. T-the due date is in a bit more than a week, actually! - Aww~ I can't wait to meet your little buddle of joy! The lizard giggled and blushed a bit. - Another question, darling, do you have any names planned? - W-well, we're hesitating between a few: maybe Achilles, or Jason, or Circe if it's a girl... listed Alphys on her fingers. - Going for an ancient Greek mythology theme, huh? - Greek mythology is just ancient anime.
Well, couldn't argue with that.
- I hope your baby will be healthy... said Mettaton, a bit sombre. Mixed race monster babies have a tendency to be more fragile. - I... I know...but even if they're not perfectly healthy, I'll fight for them to survive! Assured Alphys, a look of determination on her face. - Attagirl! Cheered the robot. His gaze rose up at the clock. Oh my! Look at the time! I'm gonna be late! - Do you have a filming session? - No, better than that.
I have a date~♡》
Technically, Mettaton assumed it was a date.
Because all Papyrus said when he called him was: 《- H-HEY METTATON... COULD YOU COME BY MY PLACE AT AROUND 5:00 PM? PLEASE? His voice was shaking weirdly, but it didn't sound like he was crying. - Of course, sugarskull~ - OKAY! I CAN'T- he let out a weird, soft grunt, and continued. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU! P-PLEASE BRING PROTECTION...》
Oooh~ what a naughty skeleton~♡ Mettaton thought, after hanging up.
As asked, He packed in a purse a few condoms, as well as lube and other... toys, to play with Papyrus with~
So, after hanging out with Alphys for a little bit, MTT drove to Papyrus and Sans's apartment... And it was Sans who answered the door. He looked serious, the light of his eyes gone. 《- oh, hi, you. He said in an almost... judgemental..? tone. - Oh, hello, Sans. Is something the matter? Asked Mettaton honestly. - remember when I told you Papyrus being in heat wasn't as bad as I made it out to be? scratch that. it is that bad.
Oh... OH..!. THAT'S why Papyrus acted weird when he called him!
- He's already experiencing his first heat? I thought it would've happened in a few months! - well, it true for the majority of skeletons... but my bro always has been a precocious not-so-little guy... now... get yo dick in there. He said hurriedly, pushing Mettaton down the corridor to the younger skeleton's bedroom.
Wait, wait, WAIT! The robot had no idea what to expect once he would enter the room, how exactly did heat affect a skeleton's personality? Was Papyrus still himself, or did the hormones turned him into a whole new person?? Based on Sans's behaviour, probably the latter.
- the only thing you need to know is to not make out with him. - What??? - good luck! And Sans shoved Mettaton through the door, slamming it shut behind him. - HEY!! yelled MTT, apprehensive.》 But no one answered.
It was only now that he actually noticed Papyrus on his bed. But a few things stood out: First of, his body was already blue and almost opaque -which meant he was already pretty damn aroused- but something in his lower belly was faintly glowing periwinkle. Second, he was shaking and squirming in place, sweating profusely, until he, too, noticed Mettaton's presence. Swiftly, he sat up on his bed, trying to hide the rock-hard boner in his briefs with his hands. 《- M-METTATON!! he exclaimed, drool dribbling from the corner of his mouth. YOU'RE HERE! - Indeed I am, darling! Sans told me about your heat... - Y-YES... HE EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT IT MEANT AND WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME, BUT... I... I... I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE... SO... - Intense? - YES. It looked like it took all of Papyrus's willpower for him to not rip off his clothes and fuck Mettaton here and now. - Well there's no use in waiting around, so let's do this, shall we?~ Mettaton barely had the time to put on protection, before Papyrus leapt on him, slamming the robot against the wall, and strongly pressed their lips together. - Oh wow! You're really eager~ Purred MTT, breaking the kiss. The skeleton had already started to grind on his thigh. - I... I'VE BEEN PENT UP ALL MORNING... Huffed Papyrus, his eyelids heavy. I WANT...I NEED YOU SO BADLY. - Say no more~♡ whispered Mettaton sensually.》 Pushing Papyrus back on his bed and crawling on top on him, MTT kissed Papyrus's soft lips again. The skeleton literally tore off his briefs, revealing his erect cock and his soaking wet pussy, which looked a bit swollen.
Not waiting any longer, Mettaton stood up, grabbed his lover's legs, shoved his dick between the periwinkle folds -more violently than he wanted, but Papyrus seemingly loved that- and started thrusting. Pleasure instantly washed over Papyrus's whole body, finally receiving the stimulus his nether regions craved so desperately. He moaned and begged for more, not caring in the slightest if Sans could hear them. MTT greatly enjoyed the view: Papyrus splayed out on the bed, arching his back, looking for anything that could bring him more pleasure, getting his pussy railed so aggressively by Mettaton's textured cock. He was whining very loudly, saliva oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing him like that, so submissive and needy, turned Mettaton even more, and so he thrusted even harder, going as fast and as deep as he could, since, apparently, in his euphoria, Papyrus couldn't feel pain.
The robot bent down, to be able to thrust deeper, and he took that opportunity to kiss his partner again, and this time, Papyrus tried worming his tongue in Mettaton's mouth.
"the only thing you need to know is to not make out with him." He remembered.
But why? Mettaton asked himself...
Well if Sans was going to be his cryptic asshole self, then he had to deal with the consequences of not saying why MTT shouldn't make out sloppy style with Papyrus.
Their tongues danced around eachother, mixing their salivas... Suddenly, a new wave of pleasure went through Mettaton's body, making him even more aroused than before, realising at that moment just how breedable the man under him was.
You would think it was a murder scene, based on the sheer VIOLENCE of their intercourse and how much Papyrus was screaming in ecstasy.
And fatally, the condom ripped, and with the passionate movements, rolled back to the base of Mettaton's cock, freeing all of the texture of the throbing silicone member. Papyrus threw back his head with a loud screech of elation. He fully felt the many little bumps on his boyfriend's dick, stimulating his insides in all the good places.
He was rapidly approaching climax, and MTT's twitching length told him he was close as well. 《- AAAHHH, FILL ME UP, METTATON!!♡》 Hollered Papyrus, his voice shaking, tears of pleasure (and of unregistered pain) overflowing from his eyes.
And pink semen started to flow out of Mettaton's cock, and kept on coming out, fulfilling Papyrus's wish. But they didn't stop. Oh no they didn't. Mettaton kept on thrusting and his cock kept on pumping his lover's womb full of cum. Eventually they both calmed down, and flopped onto the bed, exhausted. Mettaton looked at his boyfriend laying down next to him. Papyrus's belly was round and swollen, full of Mettaton's pink seed, which the robot could see slooshing around through the slightly transparent blue flesh, giving it the most beautiful shade of purple he'd even seen. Instinctively, MTT gently caressed and laid a kiss on the bump.
And he passed out from his low battery.
Chapter 10: Whoops...
When he woke up, Mettaton didn't remember a thing from yesterday. All he knew was that he charged in Papyrus's bed, but he didn't remember plugging himself in... he concluded that Papyrus must've done it.
Wait, why was he at Papyrus and Sans's apartment again..?
He got up, not completely awake yet, and unplugged and put away his charging cable back in his purse. When he saw the content, it brought back some memories from the day before: condoms, lube and sex toys, "We didn't even get to use those" he thought, suddenly remembering the passionate session he had with Papyrus.
Wow, he didn't know he could lose his cool over someone like that.
Mettaton heard the door creak and turned his head to see that his boyfriend had walked in, wearing new briefs and an oversized t-shirt.
《- GOOD MORNING, DARLING ! He said a bit... surprised? Looked like all the cum had drained, somehow, as his belly -almost- returned to it's original size. - DID YOU SLEEP WELL? The skeleton asked happily, sitting down on the bed. - I-i guess... were you the one that plugged me in? - YES! YOU FAINTED AFTER OUR LOVE-MAKING, SO I TOOK YOUR CABLE FROM YOUR PURSE AND LET YOU REST. YOU WERE OUT FOR A WEEK!!
WAIT. WAIT WHAT.
- I GUESS I REALLY WORN YOU OUT HUH? HEH HEH!
Mettaton checked his phone... it actually has been a week. AND UH... I... I USED ONE OF THOSE TOYS AFTERWARD.... B-BECAUSE I STILL FELT A BIT... NEEDY... Now that Papyrus said that, Mettaton noticed that the vibrator had a bit of dried orange and pink cum on it. But... A WEEK? Damn. That was a VERY passionate session.
- Heh,you had fun with that, didn't you?~♡ Said Mettaton, regaining his composure. He took the vibrator from the purse and handed it to Papyrus. I think you should keep it, darling. I case you feel needy again ♡.》
The skeleton smiled, blushing, and put the sex toy in the safety of his bedside table drawer.
After talking for a bit, mostly Papyrus telling the robot what he did that week, the two of them headed to the kitchen to get some breakfast.
Since Sans didn't make anything, and both Papyrus and Mettaton were too tired to cook, they settled on cereal.
They ate in comfortable silence.
Until Papyrus decided to stretch his arms, making his shirt rise up and showing his belly. He still was a bit pudgy from their lovemaking, Mettaton noticed. It was kinda cute, that little stomach pouch ♡.
Wait... How did he noticed that Papyrus was a bit pudgy... shouldn't his body have returned to being invisible by now?
《- Papyrus..? Can you lift up your shirt please? Asked Mettaton, a bit concerned. The skeleton gave a little smile and did just that.
His body was almost fully transparent... Apart from his abdomen which... wasn't opaque, but it looked... cloudy? Like a strange periwinkle haze in his lower belly... And MTT could also see some pink leftovers.
- What...is that..? He wondered outloud. Papyrus looked down. - I... DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW! replied Papyrus. BUT IT APPEARED A FEW HOURS AFTER YOU FAINTED, AND HASN'T GONE AWAY SINCE THEN. - M-maybe it's a side effect from your heat? Said the robot, hoping it wasn't what he thought it was. - MMM... MAYBE! I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD ASK SANS... - ask me what? EVERY TIME. Sans appeared out of nowhere, sitting in the chair next to Mettaton and semi-facing Papyrus -since the lovers were in front of eachother.- And of course, he scared the shit out of MTT. - Can you please STOP DOING THAT- - doin' what? -.... Forget it. - SANS. Interjected Papyrus. I THINK YOU SHOULD SEE THIS.
He stood up, showing clearly his misty belly.
Sans's eternal smile quavered at the sight.
- wait... was that there all week?.. I thought you two used protection! - We did!.. said Mettaton, a bit offended. But at that moment he remembered that the condom ripped. Well at least at first...
Wait! DOES IT MEAN- - Papyrus, how to hell did you managed to hide this from me for a week? Interrupted Sans, serious. - I DIDN'T! Said Papyrus in a angry, annoyed tone Mettaton never heard before. I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY! A short silence set in, before Papyrus spoke up again, much calmer now: - I-I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME... - Papyrus, I'm sorry in advance for the weird question... but how does your chest feel? Asked Sans calmly.
The younger skeleton fell silent again, and then fondled his pecs (Sans looked away, embarrassed). -...A BIT SORE ACTUALLY. - so, sore chest, cloudy belly, mood swings, and a few days ago you told me you felt sick when we walked next to that food truck, and it only got worse the next day...
Mettaton heard Papyrus gasp.
He was looking at his foggy belly in awe.
- AM-AM I PREGNANT?! He asked, stars shimmering in his eyes.》
Oh god. OH GOD. NONONONO. THEY'VE KNOWN EACHOTHER FOR A MONTH AND A HALF.
AND HE GOT HIM PREGNANT??
MTT's face sank between his hands as his emotions became overwhelming... Until he felt Papyrus's gentle fingers peeling his hands off.
Papyrus saw it: Mettaton was on the verge of tears, looking conflicted about the current situation.
He thought that MTT would be happy... They... they were going to be dads! They were going to have a baby!!
But... Mettaton looked... scared? Worried? ...sad? Seeing him like this cracked Papyrus's heart. He looked at his brother, but he didn't say anything, simply watching the two of them, waiting for either one to speak up.
《- METTATON? ARE YOU... NOT HAPPY? The robot stayed silent, looking away from Papyrus's gaze. -... DARLING... PLEASE TALK TO ME. -.... I... I'm sorry, I'm... I'm rushing things again... Whispered Mettaton, tearing up.
Papyrus gently wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, and gave him a small peck on the cheek. - METTATON, I'M... I'M SO HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU... IT'S OKAY IF YOU THINK YOU'RE RUSHING THINGS, BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW: I'M HERE. NO MATTER WHAT. I DON'TREALLY KNOW HOW TO BUT IF YOU WANNA SLOW DOW-
Papyrus was interrupted by Mettaton throwing his arms around him and pressing his face into his neck, letting out muffled sobs. The skeleton rubbed his back soothingly, whispering comforting words.
-... What did I do to deserve someone as great as you, darling? Mettaton finally said, his voice shaking under the emotion.
Papyrus held him tighter.
- SAME GOES TO YOU... he replied softly. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A COOLER BOYFRIEND ♡ NYEH HEH HEH. A small giggle rose up from Mettaton's throat, shivering through the tears.
- I don't mean to interrupt. Suddenly chimed Sans. but technically, we don't know that Papyrus is pregnant. a cloudy belly is just the aftereffect of a very passionate night, like sweatin' excessively or pelvis aches... I can last for quite a bit.
...Sans you motherfucker...
- YOU COULD'VE MENTIONED THAT SOONER!! Yelled Mettaton. - heh relax, Metts. while you two were discussin' your feelins like mature adults, I went and got this for ya. And he pulled out a freshly-bought pregnancy test out of his pocket. How?? Mettaton just told himself to stop asking questions when it came to that man.
- METTATON? Asked Papyrus. BEFORE I TAKE THAT TEST... DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A BABY?
MTT thought about it for a second... and gave a little smile. - I think I do...》
Papyrus smiled back.
He walked to the bathroom, locking the door once inside.
So Mettaton had to wait outside, in the corridor, with Sans.
They talked while waiting.
And Sans now had all the time in the world to explain why Mettaton wasn't supposed to make out with Papyrus: When a skeleton goes in heat, their saliva becomes oversaturated with hormones, to the point where it turns into a pretty strong aphrodisiac. So when Mettaton and Papyrus French kissed, all those hormones were absorbed via the inside of MTT's mouth, basically making him go in heat as well.
《- It would've been nice to know that BEFORE I destroyed your brother's pelvis, Sans. Said Mettaton. - please never say that again. Replied Sans. - Obliterated his pussy? - somehow worse. - Fucked his hole to smithereens? - Mettaton. - Bred him? - s t o p.》
Meanwhile, Papyrus opened the small cardboard container, read the instructions, and got to work. The test was now sitting on the small table next to the sink, while Papyrus was nervously pacing the room.
Finally 10 minutes passed, and Papyrus checked the test.
The bathroom door unlocked and flew open, startling Mettaton and Sans.
Papyrus stood in the doorway, beaming.
He held up the test.
Positive.
Chapter 11: first two weeks
The two of them immediately wanted to tell all their friends about the news. The timing was immaculate when they visited Undyne and Alphys, since, the moment Papyrus and Mettaton told them they were expecting, their egg started to hatch.
Undyne was screaming and panicking the whole time, Alphys was panicking too, but stayed somewhat professional, helping the baby break out of the thick shell. Mettaton and Papyrus tried their best to help Alphys, bringing her whatever she needed.
They had a beautiful little boy, that they named Achilles.
Achilles was a small gator-like monster, with mint scales -the same shade as the egg he came from-, little fins for ears and two rows of tiny horns going from his forehead to the base of his neck. between those rows sat a mop of red-orange hair.
Now, not only did Mettaton and his boyfriend go around telling people they were expecting a baby, they could also tell everyone that Undyne and Alphys's egg hatched.
Toriel hugged them both tightly, congratulating the new dads-to-be, and immediately texted the scaly couple to congratulate them too.
While they visited, Frisk ran down the stairs and gave Papyrus's midsection a hug as well, flashing a big grin.
Asgore already knew about the egg, since Alphys sent his a photo of Achilles, all cleaned up and in a tiny onesie (Mettaton recognised it as one of the onesies he got them), but he was very surprised to hear that Papyrus was pregnant.
Frisk texted a lot of people the big news, both Achilles being born and Papyrus's pregnancy, almost everyone in their contact list.
Mettaton was so busy caring about their future baby that he didn't even noticed that the 3-movies saga had come out, and was only reminded of it when he saw memes of how stupid the plot was. That brought a smile to his face. And, now that he thought about it...
If it wasn't for that saga, Mettaton probably wouldn't have met Papyrus. Huh.
At that moment, Mettaton actually felt a bit happy to have participated in those movies...
Until the director of those movies was discovered to be a robot fetishist.
It... explained a lot, honestly. But ew.
The following week, paparazzi unfortunately heard the news of Mettaton, the newest star from the underground, having a pregnant boyfriend...
Mettaton couldn't go ANYWHERE without being accosted by journalists shoving their microphones in his face or paparazzi taking photos of them without their consent.
At least, he always miraculously managed to hide Papyrus's face in the shots. He didn't need to get roped into this.
《- Ugh, it's a nightmare, Alphys! Whined Mettaton. - Yeah I can imagine. Replied Alphys who was bottle feeding Achilles. - And the worst part is that Papyrus also has to go through this! He added, trying to not raise his voice too much. All that stress of being potentially assaulted in the street by random journalists can't be good for him or the baby! - M-mettaton... I have a crazy idea... they probably won't recognise Papyrus as your boyfriend if you aren't next to him... at least In this form.
Alphys's idea intrigued MTT.
- Go on... he said. - S-so what if I made another version of your body, similar, but just different enough that they don't recognise you? - OMG ALPHYS DARLING, YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR ME?? - SHHHHHHH! She hushed hurriedly, pointing to Achilles in her arms, who was now sleeping. - Whoops sorry! He whispered. Omg Alphys darling, you would do that for me?? - Yes! I-i can do it! Just give me a few days! - Oh my! Alphys, you are an angel!》
The passing week, Mettaton did not DARE to go outside his house, instead asking Papyrus to come over.
Instead of coming, staying a bit and going home every night, Papyrus basically moved to Mettaton's place -at least, until term- which meant Mettaton would go to sleep, every night, cuddling with his lovable dork of a boyfriend. And every morning, Papyrus got a shower of kisses from Mettaton like he always wanted.
Sans took the time to write a "baby skeleton manual", a journal depicting what to expect from the pregnancy as it progresses.
"First of, a skeleton's gestation is twice as fast as a human's, meaning the pregnancy will only last around 4 months and a half. So in the first 2 weeks, Papyrus's body won't physically change much, he will mostly feel more morning sickness and mood swings, along with his chest getting even more sore."
MTT read that small booklet over and over, memorising the symptoms.
And, as promised, Alphys finished Mettaton's "incognito" form: it looked like a young adult human with deep tan skin and fluffy pink hair. Completely unrecognisable. Perfect.
Of course, he had to tell Papyrus about it, telling him to not freak out when he saw the new form.
Well, he did freak out, but not in the way Mettaton expected: he enthusiastically walked circles around the robot, trying to see every small detail about this amazing alternate form. The tour of Mettaton's incognito form ended with a kiss from the skeleton.
Welp... it was time to test it out.
The two lovers got out of the house, Mettaton wearing a cute red crop top and some daisy dukes, and Papyrus wearing an oversized t-shirt, baggy jeans and his scarf.
It worked like a charm! The whole time they shopped for baby stuff, not a single fan, journalist or paparazzo came up to them!
They returned home, still really happy to see that it worked, to unwrap and prepare their haul of baby things: bottles were cleaned and dried, baby clothes were folded, toys were freed from their packaging...
Now that they had the materials, it was now time to prepare a room for the baby.
Of course, it would be at Mettaton's house, since it had a few spare rooms that Sans and Papyrus's apartment didn't have.
Sleeves rolled up, Mettaton and Papyrus spent the rest of the day dusting the room, getting rid of cobwebs and overall making the place somewhere a baby could actually live in, before putting down a first layer of soft lavender paint on the walls.
After a dinner break, during which the first coat finished drying, they passed another one on top before going to bed...
But... in the middle of the night, MTT woke up, without Papyrus by his side.
Turns out he was in the future baby's room, putting a third and final coat of paint on the walls. In the middle of the night.
《- Papyrus, please go to sleep. Said Mettaton, drowsy. - BUT I'M NOT TIRED! MIGHT AS WELL WORK ON OUR BABY'S ROOM!》
MTT had to pick up Papyrus and force him to go back to sleep.
In the following days, the skeleton's morning sickness (or more accurately, day-round sickness) only got worse, making him gag at almost any food he was offered, apart from oatmeal.
And the end of the first two weeks of Papyrus's pregnancy drew close...
Chapter 12: Weeks 3 to 6
A new week began. And Mettaton spent it focusing on the future baby's room, Papyrus insisted on helping, despite his nausea.
Now that the lavender base was ready, Mettaton and Papyrus had fun painting light pink clouds and glow-in-the-dark stars on the walls, then, they covered the whole floor in a fluffy lilac carpet. The crib was put together and personalised with soft blue fabric and cute pompoms. A purple dresser was pushed against the wall and was filled with the haul of clothes that they bought a few days ago. Alphys even changed the ceiling light from an on/off to one who's luminosity could be dialed up or down, as well as being able to change colours.
A few other things, like a cute ghost-shaped nightlight, blackout curtains, and a small chest filled with some toys, and...
At the end of the week, Mettaton and Papyrus stood back and admired their work. That little guy was going to had the best bedroom ever ♡.
During the fourth and fifth weeks, Papyrus's chest started to look fuller, since it started to produce milk, and the skeleton also became pretty fatigued at that stage. Just getting up the stairs was enough to wind him out.
So it was a good thing they were done with the baby's room.
One day, near the end of the fifth week, Papyrus called out to Mettaton from their bedroom: 《- METTATON, COME HERE ! - What?! What's wrong?! Sputtered the robot in alarm, barging into the room. - LOOK! Replied Papyrus, smiling and holding up his shirt.》 It was easy to miss it... but a tiny bump in his belly started to show.
Mettaton just stared at it, first in confusion, and then in awe.
Bending his knees, so that his face was on the same level as Papyrus's abdomen, Mettaton gently caressed the small bump.
Damn... they really were creating a whole little living being... Mettaton still couldn't believe it. He softly kissed Papyrus's belly.
During the sixth week, while Papyrus was washing some dishes, Mettaton came up behind him, held his hips and kissed his neck, earning a giggling "nyeh heh heh" from the skeleton. Papyrus's hips... it was only then that MTT noticed that they were now a bit rounder and wider than when they first met.
And it looks like they caused a problem, because on Sunday, Papyrus wailed in despair from their room.
《- What's wrong?? Asked Mettaton once again, this time a bit calmer. - MY FAVOURITE SHORTS DON'T FIT ANYMORE!! Whined Papyrus, tearing up. Mettaton didn't really know what to say but he sat down next to his crying, hormonal boyfriend and comforted him best he could. - THIS IS THE CULPRIT! Complained Papyrus, making vague gestures toward his thighs. LIKE, LOOK AT THIS! he got up and tried pulling up his shorts, and it did in fact had trouble going higher than his upper thighs, but it was not the only reason... "Lord have mercy..." thought Mettaton, seeing Papyrus's shorts struggling to stretch over his ass. - ARE YOU SEEING THIS?? asked Papyrus, upset. - YUP. Quickly replied Mettaton, trying to calm down the hardening boner in his leggings. - I THINK I'VE GAINED A FEW POUNDS... AND NOT JUST BECAUSE OF MY BELLY... Continued Papyrus with glistening eyes.
DAMMIT NOW WAS NOT THE TIME TO GET HARD-
But of course, Papyrus noticed...
- M-METTATON! He loudly said, blushing.
- I-I'm sorry! I...i- - YOU... YOU STILL THINK I'M... ATTRACTIVE..? EVEN WITH THESE... CHANGES..? -... What do you mean? You're always gonna be the hottest skeleton in my eyes, darling! Replied Mettaton, earnestly.
It didn't even occur to him that Papyrus could ever think so lowly of himself. He always was the one to lift everyone else up...
That had to change immediately!
MTT took Papyrus's hands and pulled him next to him into the bed, tackling him into a hug.
- Papyrus, I love every single little thing about you... He said, smothering his boyfriend's face and neck in kisses. Your positivity, your enthusiasm, your love of everything, big and small, all of your quirks, both positive and negative... Papyrus giggled a bit, covering his flustered face with one of his hands. Mettaton's face wandered lower, now nuzzling Papyrus's full, swollen chest. - And as a bonus, you have great tits, so soft and full of milk~♡ And Papyrus's sternum was, too, covered in smooches. The skeleton was now bright periwinkle and laughing.
Going even lower, Mettaton gently pulled up Papyrus's t-shirt, revealing the tiny blue bump on his belly.
- Hello, sweetheart. He whispered to their child. Your daddy talking, I just wanted to let you know that your papa is the sweetest, the most hardworking and the most genuine man I've ever met... And he has the nicest ass I've ever seen~♡ Papyrus snorted at that last part, hiding his blushing face in his hands. - I want you to be nice to him, okay? Once you get out of here, I want you to love him, just as much as we both love you ♡. And Mettaton ended his little speech by leaving a sweet kiss on the bump.
- THANK YOU, MY DEAR... said Papyrus softly. I NEEDED THAT. - Oh, I'm not done, darling. Replied Mettaton with a smirk.》 And the robot's long delicate hands started to caress Papyrus's thighs...
It wasn't much, but it was effective. MTT could already see the tip of Papyrus's periwinkle cock peeking out of it's sheath...
And the rest of the day was a passionate blur...
Chapter 13: Weeks 7 to 10
The next weeks were interesting.
The thing that stood out the most about Papyrus in these few weeks was how much his appetite had increased. But it was for a good reason: he needed the extra nutrients and magic to help build up the baby's SOUL, which was now partially visible through his cloudy blue belly. Also, that fatigue he felt in past weeks was just... gone. From one day to the next.
Papyrus was back to being his energetic self, although a bit more careful, now that he was carrying precious cargo.
But he also was nervous, since Mettaton and him scheduled an appointment with an obstretrician to get a first good look at their baby.
They only had gotten one ultrasound before, around Papyrus's third week, and it didn't go like he thought it would.
Since he was so early in his pregnancy, the doctor had to do a transvaginal ultrasound, meaning that she had to insert a transducer inside of Papyrus's vagina to get an image of the embryo.
"It's not supposed to hurt" she said. "But you might feel a bit uncomfortable."
"A bit uncomfortable" was an UNDERSTATEMENT. It didn't HURT per se, but it didn't feel good.
So now Papyrus was really nervous about the appointment because he did NOT want to go throught that again, despite Mettaton reassuring him and telling him this time, the ultrasound will be external.
The obstretrician was a very sweet man named Dr. Daniel. He let Mettaton be there to comfort his anxious boyfriend. And Papyrus did calm down, once Dr. Daniel spread a thin layer of gel on his belly and gently moved the wand across it.
The video feed on the screen was pretty blurry... until the doctor pointed out a tiny hand.
Mettaton and Papyrus could finally see their child... tears of joy welled at the corners of the skeleton's eyes.
It has developed so much since the last ultrasound! Instead of being a vague bean-like shape, they could actually see it's tiny limbs and it's round head!
Of course they got a printed photo of the ultrasound.
Dr. Daniel said that everything looked a-OK, their child was developing well and was healthy, but Mettaton still had... worries.
Papyrus was a skeleton, and he was a ghost inside of a robot. The fact that they even managed to GET PREGNANT was a mystery in itself, but... then, what exactly is their child going to be? A skeletal ghost? A baby skeleton who's body is haunted by its own ghost?? Will their baby need a body? Or will it even want one?? Will the baby be a robot, somehow???
All those thoughts boiled in his mind, but MTT tried to put them on hold, after all, guests were coming.
A few days after the ultrasound, the boyfriends threw a baby shower, and invited all of their close friends. And Mettaton actually forgot his worries for a bit, just celebrating the fact that he was going to be dad with his loved ones...
They got quite a lot of gifts, too! Toriel made them a whole-ass "first time parents" kit: a baby bathtub, a bunch of baby soaps and shampoos (assuming that their child was going to have hair), a few parenting books, teeny tiny socks and a little blanket knitted with love, a milk pump, a cute bib... Honestly, Mettaton and Papyrus were very grateful for all of that, but they did told Toriel that it was A LOT.
Frisk's gift was much simpler: a ball of SUPER-DUPER SOFT wool that they found in a craft store. Since Papyrus knew how to crochet, he could probably make something for the baby with it. He was already looking forward to it.
Undyne and Alphys gifted them a moving mobile of the solar system, to hang above the crib. Alphys took care of the electronics and Undyne recorded herself playing the piano so that the mobile played soft music while it moved.
《- Achilles helped a bit. Snickered Alphys, playfully poking the infant in Undyne's arms, who let out a cute giggle. He painted Mars!》 And indeed, the small red planet had a tiny, lighter red handprint on the side. It looked really sturdy as well. They were definitely gonna put it up later!
Asgore gave them a small cylindrical metal container, with a hand-made label that read "Pain relieving tea mix". It was Asgore's special tea recipe, which he first created when Toriel was pregnant with Asriel... A very soothing tea, which helped relieve labor pains. Papyrus earnestly thanked Asgore.
Napstablook saw everyone else's gifts and what about to leave, before Mettaton caught them. The ghost had sewn a simple star-shaped bag in tulle and filled it with a floral potpourri.
"I know it's not much... oh no...everyone else's gifts are so much better..." and they started to fade away, but Mettaton held them softly. "Thank you, Blooky, it is very nice. And it smells really good!"
And finally, Sans's gift... it was a long-sleeved cream colored shirt with "bun in the oven" written on it in a loopy font, as well as having a cute drawing of a toasty bun with a little face.
Papyrus said he didn't find it funny. (But it was the only shirt he wore for the rest of the pregnancy.)
The mobile was put up on the crib, and guests left... and anxious thoughts came back...
In the middle of the night, during the 10th week, Mettaton woke up... not suddenly, not violently... he just woke up and looked back at Papyrus, who was spooning him.
He was sleeping so peacefully... or so he thought.
《-Trouble sleeping? Whispered Papyrus, startling Mettaton slightly. - *sigh* yes... responded the robot. - What's wrong?.. MTT shuffled and turned in bed to face Papyrus. - I'm... I'm just worried about our child... he confessed. Mixed race monster babies have a much higher chance of being too weak to survive... Mettaton gently put a hand on Papyrus's belly... - I- I really wish... with ALL of my heart... that our baby will be as lucky as Achilles... - Mettaton, i-》 Papyrus was suddenly cut off. Not by a noise. Not by Mettaton. But by a small movement inside of his womb...
The baby just kicked.
Both of them immediately sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
They sat in silence, all four of their hands on the bump...
*kick!
They looked at eachother, wide smiles stretching on their faces.
Chapter 14: Weeks 11 to 14
Now that the baby had started to kick, they simply wouldn't stop! Papyrus could feel their little one squirming, kicking and overall being very active inside of his belly.
《- Looks like they inherited your energy, huh? Said Mettaton, chuckling, while gently stroking the round bump. - I KNOW! Replied Papyrus, delighted. I BET THAT THEY'LL BE A LOT LIKE ME! AND LIKE YOU, DARLING! He added, cupping Mettaton's face with his hands. The robot let out a small laugh and kissed his partner. - Our child is going to be the greatest ♡. - OBVIOUSLY! WITH SUCH COOL DADS! NYEH HEH HEH!》 Mettaton smiled softly and looked back at the cloudy blue belly, admiring the blurry, silhouetted shape of their baby.
A few days later, Jake, the director of the small studio, called Mettaton to tell him that they had a prerelease version of the new movie, that he could get if he wanted. Of course! But MTT specifically requested that he brings it to his house, since going outside was still a hassle for him.
And Jake obliged, driving to Mettaton's house, which had a pretty damn nice view of the ocean.
《- Hello, darling! Exclaimed Mettaton happily as the young man showed up at his door. Come in! Come in! Jake, this is my boyfriend, Papyrus. The skeleton was sitting on the couch, crocheting. His head turned when he heard his name. - Papyrus, this is Jake, the director of the small studio movie I told you about. - OH, HELLO, HUMAN! chirped Papyrus, twisting his body to face Jake. WOWIE, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!
Jake snickered, playing with the few blue and turquoise streaks in his light brown hair.
- Thank you! my barber did a really great job. - Do you want to drink anything, darlings? Asked Mettaton to the both of them. - COULD YOU PLEASE BRING ME A CAN OF ORANGE SODA, HONEY? chimed Papyrus, gesturing at Jake to come take a seat. - Of course. Jake? -... I wouldn't mind a can of orange soda myself. Replied the human, sitting next to Papyrus on the couch. - Alright, I won't be long dearies!》And just like that, Mettaton left to the kitchen.
Papyrus and Jake sat together in silence.
Until Jake noticed what the skeleton was doing.
《- Oh, you like to crochet? He asked excitedly. - YES! IT'S FUN, AND YOU CAN MAKE SO MANY THINGS WITH JUST WOOL AND A HOOK! Replied Papyrus with the same enthusiasm. - Yeah, I would know! Y'see this top? Jake said, pointing to his pink tank top, which had a white bunny head with hearts for eyes on it. - I crocheted it myself! - WOWIE! A FINE PIECE OF ART!
Jake puffed out his chest, proud of himself after getting such an honest compliment.
- So... what are you making? Interrogated Jake, trying to look at the bundle of yarn in Papyrus's hands. - I'M MAKING A LITTLE BUNNY BINKY FOR THE BABY! That answer startled Jake a bit. -... the baby? A quick silence stood. Before Papyrus spoke up: - METTATON DIDN'T TELL YOU?
He pulled up his shirt, revealing his baby bump. Jake was silent, and just stared at the gravid blue belly, in a mix of confusion, curiosity and awe.
- Can... can I touch it..? He finally said. - OF COURSE! THEY LOVE THE ATTENTION ♡.
Very delicately, Jake put his hand on Papyrus's belly, immediately feeling a tiny foot kicking against his palm.
- Woah... No wonder Mettaton is so scared of going outside... said the young man, a bit sombre.
Papyrus looked a him, confused.
-... I mean, there's nothing wrong with you two having a baby, congrats, by the way! But... a celebrity having a baby with someone they're not married to is the perfect bait for journalists to stir up unnecessary drama... And I understand that Mettaton doesn't want to be assaulted by these guys.
Oh... - RIGHT.... I FORGOT THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE EXISTED.... Replied Papyrus sadly. - Hey. I'm still really happy for you two! You guys are going to have a little bundle of joy! Added Jake, trying to cheer up the skeleton. Papyrus smiled. And then smiled even more when he saw Mettaton coming back from the kitchen with a six-pack of orange soda.
- Hey, darlings, what are you talking about? Asked Mettaton, sitting down on the armchair closest to Papyrus, and setting down the cans on the coffee table.
- Mettaton! You didn't told me you two were expecting a baby! Playfully scolded Jake.
The robot looked sheepish.
- Nah, don't worry about that, I get it. Said the human, opening a can of soda. Nosy journalists already made a big deal out of it, didn't they?
Mettaton nodded, looking relieved and a bit tired.
- Well, Congratulations from me! Said Jake happily. A toast! To... um... have you two thought of a name yet?
Papyrus and Mettaton looked at eachother. They never really discussed this matter.
- We didn't... really talked about... muttered MTT, before being cut off by Papyrus. - W-WELL... I THOUGH ABOUT IT... HOW ABOUT "COLONNA"? Proposed Papyrus with a small smile. - "Colonna"... repeated Mettaton pensively. I like it! It rolls off the tongue!
- Well then! A TOAST! TO COLONNA! Cheered Jake, holding up his can of soda like a wine glass. - TO COLONNA! the three of them shouted together, clanking their cans.》
Even the baby shuffled in Papyrus's belly, as if they were cheering as well.
They ended up talking for a bit, catching up, sipping on orange soda, until Jake remembered why he came here.
"Here's the early release of the movie!" The dvd case passed hands. Then Jake's phone went off, he was, after all, a movie director, and he needed to leave. "Trust me, the moment I leave this house, I don't know anything about a robot actor and his pregnant boyfriend *wink*"
Mettaton was really grateful for Jake being so understanding.
Well, now that Papyrus and Mettaton were by themselves again, they watched the movie together. Papyrus was still crocheting his bunny plushie, which was impressive, since he was fully immersed in the story on the screen.
At the end of the movie, after the high school prom Queen quit her position to give it to her crush, and the two of them realising that they don't care about stupid high school status and ending up confessing their love for eachother, Papyrus was finally done crocheting the plushie.
It was made with the yarn Frisk got him, so it turned out to be an adorable and SUPER SOFT white bunny with light pink speckles.
Now Papyrus had to embroider the bunny's face. So he tried to get up to get black yarn and a needle, but he realised at that moment that his lower back was really achy.
Hearing his boyfriend grunt in pain as he tried to get up again, Mettaton immediately became concerned.
《- Papyrus? Are you OK? He asked, gently helping him get up. - D-DON'T WORRY, HUN, IT'S JUST SOME PREGNANCY ACHES... Responded Papyrus, putting his hands on the small of his back.》
No. Mettaton DID worry.
After some convincing, MTT managed to get Papyrus to sit back down to give him a massage.
Chapter 15: Weeks 15 to 18
Now that Papyrus was nearing the end of his pregnancy, it became harder and harder to move around, since, you know, he basically had a bowling ball inside of his womb. A bowling ball that wouldn't stop kicking and moving.
That fatigue he felt back during the earlier weeks came back, and twice as strong.
And aches. EVERYTHING ACHES.
His chest started to LEAK. The t-shirt that Sans got him now had two large, wet milk stains where his nipples were.
And to top it all off, Papyrus had experienced his first Braxton-hicks contractions.
Needless to say, he was VERY ready to have this kid out of him.
And Mettaton knew that very well, being very gentle with his boyfriend, offering massages any time he could, and satisfying his every whim.
The two of them settled on having a home birth, because, for some reason, Papyrus was TERRIFIED of going to the hospital. And also, giving birth in a familiar place was going to bring him very needed comfort during such a tense ordeal.
Mettaton talked to Dr.Daniel on the phone, and he says he will be able to come to their place when Papyrus goes into labor, which relieved the robot.
They talked a bit more, Dr.Daniel telling him what to prepare for a home birth: Somewhere clean and warm, he should prepare a mattress and towels-
Mettaton had an inflatable mattress that took only a few seconds to be pumped, it was perfect! Said mattress was tucked under Papyrus and Mettaton's bed, ready to be pulled out the moment Papyrus goes in labor.
Now that he thought about it, their room actually was the perfect place to set the birthing mattress: it was warm and since both MTT and Papyrus where clean freaks, it was, well, clean. And it was where they cuddled together every night, so it was a comforting, familiar environment.
So first step, check!
Then, they should have an emergency bag in case there's any complications during the birth and they need to quickly get to the hospital-
Mettaton hoped for dear life that it won't be NEEDED. But better safe than sorry. He packed a bag with a water bottle, extra towels, a heating blanket and whatever else he thought would be needed.
Second step, check!
And Dr.Daniel was already in MTT's emergency contacts, so he could called pretty fast.
And finally, Mettaton needed to know what to do exactly when the skeleton's water breaks.
The doctor taught him to count how long contractions were and why it was important, then he explained how to check Papyrus's cervix to see how dilated it was, and how dilated it needed to be for him to start pushing.
Mettaton listened carefully and took notes.
Okay. They were fully ready now! That baby could come, and they were gonna be ready!
Around the 16th week, Undyne, Alphys and Achilles visited.
《- Hey Metts! Said Undyne when he opened the door. - Hello Undyne! And Co! Responded Mettaton. Come in, darlings! Undyne immediately bolted to the living room, where Papyrus was laying down on the sofa, reading one of the parenting books Toriel got them. - Hey PapyrooOOOAH- She had just noticed how big Papyrus's belly got. WOAH. - YES, I KNOW. said Papyrus sweetly, petting his baby bump. Alphys entered the living room as well, carrying little, almost 4 months old Achilles in her arms. - Hello Papyrus! She said, sitting down on the armchair and settling Achilles on her lap. H-how do you feel? - WELL. started Papyrus, sitting up on the couch and stretching a bit. TIRED AND ACHY, MOSTLY, BUT STILL VERY EXCITED TO BE SO CLOSE OF MEETING OUR LITTLE ONE ♡. Colonna gave a tiny kick. - OOP! I THINK THEY SAY HI! He added, chuckling.》
Mettaton, Papyrus, Undyne and Alphys chatted for a bit, talking about the pregnancy, and what it was like to have a baby, giving some tips...
Achilles, who was previously teething on a toy, was now staring at Papyrus's belly, curious.
Alphys noticed it.
"Papyrus? She asked. D-do you mind if Achilles takes a closer look at your belly?"
The skeleton answered by lightly laughing and pulling up his shirt, uncovering his swollen baby bump. Alphys held Achilles close to Papyrus. And he put both his tiny chubby hands on the soft surface.
Colonna kicked again, startling the infant, who looked thoroughly confused.
It was adorable ♡.
The scaly couple stayed for a few more hours, still chatting, but lowering their voices, because Achilles fell asleep in Undyne's arms.
Mettaton made hot cocoa for everyone, putting a lot of whipped cream in Papyrus's, just how he liked it.
While Alphys was talking to Mettaton about what their baby might be, a ghost, a skeleton or otherwise, Achilles woke up and started to cry for milk.
"CURSES!" Yelped Papyrus as his chest leaked milk at the mere sound of a crying, hungry baby.
Undyne quickly pulled out a bottle of formula from the baby bag they took with them, and fed her son. "Whoops! Sorry, Paps!" She said, looking at the stained t-shirt.
The skeleton sighed and precariously stood up to get changed in their bedroom.
After removing the soaked shirt and drying his chest with a few tissues, Papyrus looked at himself in the mirror, topless.
Damn.
He turned his body to see it from the side.
DAMN.
He really was huge.
(And, has- has his ass always been this... noticeable??)
He sat on the bed, tearing up.
Mettaton walked in the room, asking if everything was okay, until he saw his crying boyfriend. He hugged him tightly, telling him he loved him no matter what his body was like.
Undyne also came in the room, holding a now fed and snoozing Achilles.
She obviously joined in the hug, using only her free arm.
And finally, Alphys showed up and also added herself to the hug pile.
Now that Papyrus felt better, Alphys and Undyne decided it was time to leave, saying their goodbyes to the boyfriends.
The two next weeks weren't very interesting, since Papyrus couldn't do much, he mostly spend his days in bed, reading, looking at stuff on his phone, or doing small crochet projects.
However, during those weeks, Papyrus had that strong desire to constantly cuddle with Mettaton, which unfortunately, they couldn't do all day.
Friday night, during the 18th week, the skeleton felt something weird inside of his vagina. Something... slimy?
He went to the bathroom to clear that out.
It was a weird... slime... string... thing. What the hell was that?..
Chapter 16: HERE IT COMES!!
The next morning, Papyrus felt... weird... A bit out of breath, for some reason. Oof! Colonna just kicked, it was pretty strong that time...
Mettaton was still asleep. Well, since he was awake, Papyrus told himself he would make breakfast, cook some waffles or something...
But he was so warm in his boyfriend's arms, and his smell was so comforting... And he knew that when MTT was going to be awake, he would leave the bed, so he savoured every seconds.
Papyrus smiled, and was about to fall asleep again... When he suddenly felt a dull pain in his belly. It was faint, but it was still painful, and it lasted about a minute.
When it stopped, Papyrus looked at Mettaton. He was shuffling in his sleep.
Should he wake him up? Eh, it probably was just some more Braxton-hicks contractions...
10 minutes later, Papyrus felt it again, but it was now more intense and lasted a few seconds more.
Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. Papyrus kept telling himself.
It was only the first two contractions... Dr.Daniel said labour lasted on average 12 to 24 hours for first-time mothers.
He needed to rest... but he felt another contraction, closer than the last one, longer and DEFINITELY MORE PAINFUL. Okay, nevermind, he needed to wake up Mettaton.
《- DARLING? whispered Papyrus, gently shaking Mettaton. The robot let out a sleepy groan, before answering. - mmnmjmn... Whutizit baby?... - I THINK I'VE GONE INTO LABOUR.
Mettaton's eyes popped open.
- What??? He said groggily. - I FELT MULTIPLE CONTRACTIONS ALREADY.
The robot immediately sat up, a panicked look on his face.
- How much time was between each of them?? He asked hurriedly, gently grabbing Papyrus's shoulders. - UHH.. ABOUT TEN MINUTEsACK-! Replied Papyrus, cut off by another contraction, which was pretty damn painful at this point.
... 59... 60... 61... 62... 63... 64... 65...66... counted Papyrus in his head, clutching his belly. 70 seconds. Mettaton had already called Dr.Daniel to tell him his boyfriend went into labour.
Meanwhile, Papyrus called Sans. He needed the support of another skeleton.
《- SANS! exclaimed Papyrus when his brother picked up. - Paps, it's like 7 AM... you know I don't get up until at least 14. Replied Sans sleepily. - BROTHER IT'S IMPORTANT!! PLEASE COME HER- Agh! - huh? what's wrong? Asked Sans, his voice serious with worry. - I'M IN LABOUR, SANS! Yelled Papyrus, exasperated.
Sans didn't respond on the phone. Instead, he simply was here. In their bedroom.
- FUCKING CHRIST- yelled Mettaton, yet again scared by this short man appearing out of nowhere. No- no Stan, this wasn't for you! He added hurriedly to the phone in his hand. Papyrus's brother showed up out of nowhere and scared me!
Mettaton kept on talking to Dr.Daniel, telling him that Papyrus has gone in labour about 30 minutes ago-
- wait. 30 minutes??? Yelled Sans, uncharacteristically tense. Tell that doctor to get their butt over here NOW!! - SANS! IT'S JUST THE START OF LABOUR, WE STILL HAVE A FEW HOURS BEFOR- Papyrus was yet again interrupted by a contraction. - Papyrus, skeleton labour is WAY faster than humans's! there was only 3 hours between dad's first contraction and you being born! - WHAT?! Shouted Mettaton, overhearing. SORRY, DANIEL, APPARENTLY SKELETON LABOUR IS WAY FASTER THAN A HUMAN'S, PLEASE HURRY-
MTT could hear Dr.Daniel moving quickly on the other end of the call, followed by a car door opening and closing.
- Okay, I am on my way! He said, starting the car. I'll try to be here as soon as I can. - Thank you doctor!》
And the call ended.
Sans had pulled out the mattress and inflated it, covering it in a towel, and was now comforting Papyrus by holding his hand and rubbing his back.
Papyrus was breathing heavily, a hand on his big belly, and tears were pearling at the corners of his eyes.
Sans was already by his side, so Mettaton went downstairs to fetch something for Papyrus: The special tea mix Asgore gifted them.
He prepared a cup, putting 2 sugarcubes in -Papyrus loved to put a LOT of sugar in his tea, and Mettaton was trying to get him to put less- and stired it, while getting back up the stairs.
"Here you go, darling." Said the robot, settling the cup on the floor, next to his boyfriend. He smiled, and they kissed. "Dr.Daniel is coming, don't worry..."
Between two huffs, Papyrus replied "M-METTATON!.."
Mettaton and Sans looked down: There was now a big, wet orange stain in Papyrus's briefs.
His water just broke.
OH GOD, OH FUCK-
Mettaton held the crying, heaving skeleton close to him with one arm and called back the obstretrician with the other.
《- DOCTOR, PAPYRUS'S WATER BROKE! He blurted out.
Mettaton could hear Dr.Daniel cursing and car horns honking.
- I'm so sorry! I'm stuck in a traffic jam!! Put the call on speakers! I'll assist you via phone! He said, not catching his breath.
MTT did just that. Putting down his phone on the bed, Mettaton helped Papyrus strip naked. (Sans looked a bit uncomfortable, but focused on his brother's wellbeing)
- How dilated is he? Asked the doctor, a bit calmer.
Mettaton scooted in front of Papyrus and inserted two fingers inside of his vagina, trying to be as gentle as he could.
7 centimetres already.
- 7 cm! Answered Mettaton.
- Okay, so he's not fully dilated YET. Papyrus? Can you hear me?
- Y-YES! Uttered Papyrus through another contraction.
- Breathe deeply, do anything that helps you relax, and most importantly, do not panic.》
The skeleton obeyed, trying to regulate his breathing, and using that moment to drink his tea.
It did helped a bit with the pain! And it tastes really good! Thank you, Asgore!
Okay... both his older brother and his lover by his side, in a room filled with good vibes, Papyrus was ready...
Mettaton checked his cervix again...
It was almost fully dilated.
《- Doctor, how far are you?? Asked Mettaton, getting a bit stressed. - I'm not in the traffic jam anymore but the roads are still pretty crowded! Why? Is he fully dilated?? - Not quite, but almost!
Before the doctor could respond, Papyrus screamed in pain.
It was the worst contraction yet! And he felt the baby's head starting to push through-
- THE BABY'S COMING!! He howled, grasping his belly. - WA- WAIT! Said Mettaton, alarmed. - Don't hold it in! Yelled Dr.Daniel through the phone. Start to push! I'm nearly there!》
Papyrus didn't needed to be told twice. He pushed as hard as he could, feeling the baby's crown passing through his cervix.
Mettaton immediately prepared his hands to catch the baby when it comes out.
The swollen lips of Papyrus's pussy started to stretch as Colonna was crowning!
Mettaton did NOT know it could stretch THAT MUCH.
He encouraged Papyrus to keep pushing!
The baby had hair! Brown hair! IT LOOKED LIKE PAPYRUS WAS PUSHING OUT A FRICKING COCONUT-
Colonna's head was fully out now, and their shoulders were starting to peak throught!
Their arms were out!!
Papyrus was sweating bullets and huffing!
Sans was holding his hand and encouraging him!
JUST A LITTLE MORE!
AND!.. .... .... .... ..waaaAAAH!..
The room was silent, apart from the baby's crying.
Mettaton couldn't believe it... He was holding... the tiniest little skeleton in his hands.
Colonna. Their son. They could finally hold him...
Mettaton and Papyrus looked at eachother, heavy tears of joy streaming from their eyes.
Oh-so-delicately, MTT placed the newborn on Papyrus's chest.
He looked a lot like Paps, but he had soft, brown hair (quite a lot, for a newborn), and instead of blue, his body was pink, turning periwinkle around his tummy, shoulders and knees. His chubby cheeks had small, round, pink markings on them.
Colonna whimpered softly, moving his tiny limbs around, before calming down.
"He's so small..." whispered Papyrus through tears. "He's beautiful ♡"
The new dads gently caressed him.
Sans stood back, smiling at his bro, his lover and their little guy.
They didn't care in the slightest that the baby was still slimy with orange amniotic fluid, he was their most precious thing in the whole world.
Suddenly, they heard a honk from the front of Mettaton's gate. Dr.Daniel finally arrived.
Sans let him in, and guided him to the room where the child was already born.
The obstretrician took care of things: clipping and cutting the umbilical cord with sterilised scissors, cleaning the fluids, disposing of the placenta, and bundling the newborn in a soft towel, before giving him back to his dads.
Now that Colonna was fully dry, they noticed that his hair was light purple around his temples.
"Hello, little star ♡" cooed Mettaton, gently stroking their son's hair.
Slowly... Colonna opened his eyes.
They were a bright peachy pink.
The newborn looked at his dads as they were talking softly to him, he didn't understand what they were saying, but the sound of their voice soothed him.
He whimpered quietly.
And he smelled something, something really good.
Colonna pressed his face against Papyrus's chest, making tiny noises.
"Oh! I think he's hungry!" Whispered Mettaton. Papyrus carefully guided his son's mouth to his nipple, and helped the little one latch on.
Papyrus was carried unto the bed, still feeding the baby boy.
And since Colonna was getting breakfast, the others decided to eat something too.
《- Mettaton, can you make waffles, please? Asked Papyrus, his voice weak. - Of course, darling ♡.》
And with a peck on the cheekbone, Mettaton, Sans and Dr.Daniel went downstairs to make those waffles, leaving Papyrus with Colonna.
He was EXHAUSTED... but seeing his son, happily drinking his milk... it was all worth it ♡.
When MTT came back with a plate of waffles for Papyrus, he found both of them asleep, so he set down the plate on the nightstand, gave them both a kiss on the forehead and let them sleep.

If you asked me to describe the appeal of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, it would be this: it feels like it was written by a kid.
Admittedly, that sounds like a backhanded compliment. And in some sense, perhaps it is. But for better or worse, no other story, in any medium, so perfectly captures the feeling that it was brought to life specifically by a child’s active imagination. Hell, even saying it was “written” by a child feels too concrete a description. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is like one of those colossal, ongoing make-believe sessions you’d dream up with your friends on the playground, a story you would all craft together on the fly as you pretended to be heroes and villains and wield whatever nonsensical powers you could dream up. I shoot you with my energy laser! Nu-uh, my magic vampire ice powers make me immune to lasers! Oh yeah? Well I punch you with my magic punching ghost who can also stop time! Not so fast, I also have a magic punching ghost but when he punches things, he heals them! And you just keep going, making up new characters, new powers, new settings and new stories to tell within them, coming back day after day to continue the ongoing saga with second and third and fourth generations of your own make-believe heroes. Plus there’s a lot of pointless gross-out humor because you’re all like seven or eight and some dude almost being forced to lick a dirty toilet seat is still the height of comedy.
That is the appeal of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. That is the special sauce that makes this series truly one-of-a-kind. Yes, all long-running shonen are written for kids to some extent, but only Jojo’s truly captures that primal, lizard-brain euphoria of seeing your actual childhood imagination play out before your eyes. And while that style is responsible for all this franchise’s weaknesses and lowest points as well, it provides a niche that simply is not being filled by anything else. If you want to revisit that very specific feeling of being a kid and making up grand stories with your friends, in the days before you were fettered by the expectations of professional writing and could just let your imaginations run free, then Hirohiko Araki’s almost-four-decade-long magnum opus is by far your best option. Who knows, maybe Araki actually is immortal and his childlike whimsy has remained immortal with him. It would explain a lot, honestly.
I bring all this up to put my own feelings toward Jojo’s in context. I like Jojo’s. At times, I love Jojo’s. But when I see so many Jojo’s fans who treat it like gospel, who attack anyone who enjoys it the wrong way (*cough* let people watch parts in whatever order they want *cough*), who embody all the worst aspects of toxic, possessive fandom, and I just can’t help but think... really? This? This, of all franchises, is what you’ve chosen to devote your entire personality to defending? The show that, again, feels like it was written by an actual child? This is the show we’re treating like holy text and excommunicating people for daring to criticize it or see it from a different perspective? Like, guys, come on. This is the show where Araki forgetting how powers work or retconning stuff he no longer likes is literally a running fandom joke and some of y’all losers still treat it like this sacred cow that must not be defiled on pain of death. Get over yourselves already.
Anyway, my point is, as much as I’ve enjoyed Jojo’s, I have never once taken Jojo’s seriously.
Until Stone Ocean.
Stone Ocean is the first time that Jojo’s has felt like an actual fully realized story. Not just a collection of especially dynamic poses or an often logic-less stream of consciousness, but filtering all that insanity through a narrative with genuine stakes, with characters who genuinely grow and change, all building to one of the single most bonkers endings to any anime ever that nevertheless feels like a more meaningful conclusion than any other Jojo’s has managed. It’s so good it honestly makes all the previous parts look worse by comparison. You’re telling me we could’ve had the lovable cast of Diamond is Unbreakable with a plot that doesn’t wait half the season to show up? You’re saying we could’ve had the sheer propulsive energy of Golden Wind with a protagonist who has an actual arc and presence in the story? You mean all this time, Jojo’s could have channeled its childhood-imagination stream of consciousness into a genuinely compelling story without losing that free spirit at its core? Araki took thirteen goddamn years to figure out how to actually write, but the result is so goddamn entertaining it’s hard to care. Stone Ocean is peak Jojo’s, and until Steel Ball Run comes along to show us anime-onlys why it’s apparently the single greatest work of art to ever exist, Jolyne Cujoh will remain the queen of this ridiculous franchise for quite some time to come.

Captain’s Personal Log:
I found a dead lizard in my vacuum toilet.
I stared at it for five minutes, contemplating about the sense of it all before I decided it would be better to just let it get sucked into the biowaste systems. The jury on whether that is a sign of nearing depression is still out. I do not want to be suspended, so it better be not.
I really need to talk to the Science Biology Team.

Okay RWS/TTTE Tumblr, I have to share possibly the funniest "RWS is a fucking documentary" story ever, as relayed by Youtuber Hyce telling the story while three other guys at the Colorado Railroad Museum try to guess what happened next: (go watch it on YouTube for a good ab workout)
I think the synopsis on this incident being read is here?
This is an absurd week-long saga involving seven different engines getting stuck or derailed, sometimes repeatedly. In a nutshell, behind a keep reading so you can guess along with the video:
To set the stage: The Rio Grande Southern was a crappy podunk railroad in Southwestern Colorado. I'm getting the vibe that this was kind of the real-life equivalent of the Mid Sodor Railway. Relevant locations are Ridgway, the northern terminus, Durango, the southern terminus, Rico, a town kind of in the middle of the line, and Lizard Head Pass, the highest part of the line, which is between Ridgway and Rico. On either end the RGS meets a larger and more competent railroad, the Denver and Rio Grande Western.
Rio Grande Southern #20 gets stuck in the snow while traveling South from the north terminus of its line in Ridgeway. In the middle of the night, in the mountains. It sounds like in a snowstorm.
The next day, two other engines, RGS 22 and RGS 42, come up the mountain from the other direction with a snowplow to free it, along with a little railcar that was just trying to deliver the mail. They set off back towards the south and all of them almost immediately get stuck again.
After three days of the original train, the rescue train, and the railcar all being stuck in the snow, two more rescue trains are sent from either end of the line. On the northern end, the superintendent of the railroad and "every available man" set out with the only engine present, Denver and Rio Grande Western #455, who was leased from the neighboring railroad and probably really wants to go home. On the southern end, D&RGW #458 is "borrowed" to go help, which I think means this engine was not even leased, this is just an engine from a completely different railroad that has to come help because the RGS has gotten basically its entire fleet stuck and the one remaining engine, #41 is small and not very strong.
The superintendent's rescue train also gets stuck, and the borrowed engine's tender derails and rolls over. Neither of them get anywhere near the stuck train. There are now three stuck rescue trains and the original train gets stuck too.
D&RGW #271, who is also not actually part of the railway with the stuck train, comes up with a breakdown crane to put 458's tender back on the rails. This is successful, and 458 continues on towards Rico. 271 apparently decides not to deal with this whole cursed rescue mission, and decides to go home and take the crane with it. On the way home, 271... gets stuck in the snow.
271 gets unstuck by its crew and goes home. 458 meets up with #41, and they take the rotary snowplow up to free the original rescue train, consisting of #20 (which has now been stuck in the snow for SIX DAYS), #22, #42, and the railcar). They FINALLY free the stuck train, and head back towards Rico.
On the way back down, #458 and #41 derail AGAIN.
They finally make it back to Rico... meanwhile the superintendent and #455 are STILL FUCKING STUCK on the other side of the pass.
Poor #458, who is not even supposed to be here and might have some sort of damage from the tender derailment but I'm pretty sure is the biggest and strongest engine here, sets out with the rotary plow again to rescue its sibling, but the damaged tender derails TWO MORE TIMES.
458 gives up and tries to turn back (RWS translation: this poor engine's probably sobbing about wanting to go home by now)... but a couple miles outside of town is blocked by an avalanche!
458's crew (and presumably the rotary plow's) just fucking abandon their engine and walk the rest of the way.
Eventually, some time later RGS #20 and #42 go and free the superintendent. #458 has presumably gone home and refused to set wheel on the RGS ever again.
But the ultimate "RWS is a fucking documentary" moment: 84 years later, the Rio Grande Southern Railroad is a distant memory. The only survivors of this whole clusterfuck are RGS #41, RGS #42, the Railcar... and RGS #20, which has been right there next to the guys telling the story the entire time while they have been absolutely losing it and roasting the fuck out of this railway for the last 20 minutes. Everyone remembers this and starts joking about how they've probably given their steam engine PTSD flashbacks and apologizes to her.

Deep Dive Thoughts about the Daily Bugle Lego Set
Tumblr media
I got this Lego Set for Christmas, highlight of the day honestly cause I've wanted one of my own for awhile if only to play out my many Spider-Man story fantasies. It's an impressive looking set to be sure, and I love it for how it has gone all out in many respects. But something really cool is how many minifigs are included in it! Every possibly Spider-Man character is here. Well there are a few exceptions, probably based on them not being able to fit so well with the others. Like, the Lizard has to be a tad bigger than these guys. Same with the Rhino, but almost everyone else is here. It's an impressive cast to be sure.
Tumblr media
Look at that, they even have various non-affiliated Marvel heroes because they have connections to Spider-Man. Punisher debuted in an issue of Spider-Man for example. Miles is here sporting his getup from the Spiderverse movie as well, which is kickass cause I love hoodies. Miles should just wear a hoodie all the time as Spider-Man, makes him standout even more. Maybe they're worried he'll look too much like Ghost-Spider, who also wears a hood... I just like hoods.
But there is a major missing member of the Spidey Support cast though. Someone VERY important, Mary Jane Watson!
Tumblr media
The woman most associated with Peter Parker/Spider-Man as his primary love interest. So much so they actually got married... and then that all got erased because Marvel couldn't figure out how to make their marriage compelling or interesting. But despite that, even though people claim them being married would be boring all over again, Marvel continues to tease and hint and fakeout the possibility of them getting back together again. They've been doing so for well over a decade at this point. Most recently after heavily hinting at the possibility of their romance returning throughout the Nick Spencer run, Peter has done something terrible enough for MJ to not only leave him but start up a new relationship with someone else who has kids who call her mom!
People are not happy about being yanked around like that, but this is not the point I want to stress here. My point is mainly, Lego decided that for this huge Spider-Man based set, featuring tons of characters, they were going to just cut MJ out altogether. She's just gone! Nowhere to be seen! But another love interest is still there, in fact she's doubly there!
Tumblr media
Gwen Stacey is here, Peter's first love and perhaps true love given how he will never be over her. To be fair, its hard to get over someone who died on your watch. More specifically died because your web-line, for the one and only time in existence, decided to obey the laws of thermodynamics concerning centrifugal force. But she's not dead here!
In fact, in the bio for her minifigure, the instruction booklet clearly states she is Peter's "College Crush". Spidey fans might be aware that Gwen dies during Peter's college years. This was something Greg Weisman had to clearly state for fans in recently years concerning the ultimate fate of Gwen on the Spectacular Spider-Man Animated series. Basically, Gwen was never going to die on that show which would've naturally ended when Peter graduated from high school, not after or before. So Gwen was never dying on that show.
But wait, you say, that just means that this is during Peter's time at college! So maybe Gwen is about to take the plunge! Slow your roll buddy! First of all, there is no REAL death in Lego. Haven't the various video games taught you anything? Everyone just runs off screen or plops down with cartoon stars over their heads forever. They're fine!
Second, that's not possible either, because various events that SHOULD have taken place as a result of Gwen's death have already or ARE occurring at this point of time in the story of the set! Case in point...
Tumblr media
As you can see in this picture one of the many stickers for the set, the Clone Saga is happening! The infamous 90s sequel to the original Clone Saga of the 70s in fact, since Scarlet Spider is around! For whatever reason, Professor Miles Warren has not become the Jackal, or the very least he has not yet been discovered and is hiding his evil alter ego. Even from Ben Riley, who he created! Assuming this is a three way live interview J Jonah Jameson is running (And that seems to be the case), then for whatever reason no one has figured out what Warren is doing!
For those uninitiated, the Clone Saga was initially kicked off because Prof. Miles Warren had a creepy obsession with one of his students, Gwen Stacey. When she died, he tried to clone her so he could be with her. You know, cause he's a creep. That went badly with the original Gwen Clone getting lost and a Spider-Man clone falling into a smokestack. Years later that Peter clone becomes Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider, and kicks off a whole other Clone Saga. One Marvel has overstay its welcome because Marvel in the 90s is run by the marketing department and not the actual storytellers.
Now considering that Gwen is still alive, active, in college and being pined for by Peter as they attend classes together, it stands to reason that not only did this version of Spidey manage to save Gwen from a fatal snap off a bridge but that despite her survival, Miles Warren still futzed around with cloning tech and we have probably skipped the original Clone Saga and gone straight to the 90s one.
That should be it, right? Well no! We still have another very big question to ask... Ghost-Spider, aka Spider-Gwen!
Tumblr media
She's included in the set too and before you suggest she's a clone or from another dimension as is usually suggested, no, she's not. The backstory blurb for her figure says she is, in fact, Gwen's alter ego! She's not from another world, she's not a clone, she IS Gwen. It makes sense, Peter Parker and Spider-Man have their own individual mini figures, but they're clearly meant to be the same person who's figure you swap out when necessary for the story. So the same has to hold true for Gwen Stacey! This is a universe where Gwen Stacey also got Spider powers! Maybe, in fact, as a result of Miles Warren's experiments with cloning or perhaps in a similar lab accident that would lead to Miles Morales getting Spider-powers as he's here as well!
But here's something that's also very random, and I only discovered this while I was writing all this down, Gwen's minifig outfit is a reused torso model.
Tumblr media
This is common practice and given how much they spent on creating this set it stands to reason they had to reuse some figure designs to cut down on costs. This particular figure's outfit is from the Haunted House Attraction set. So I can only assume that the attraction exists within the world of Lego Spider-Man, or at the very least, it has the same clothing line.
If the former is the case then that opens up a whole other can of worms because of Haunted House ride is based off another line of now defunct and out of print Lego sets, Lego Adventurers!
Tumblr media
The principal villain of that series was Baron Von Barron and his house is the basis for the storyline of the Haunted Attraction ride. Although its hard to say whether the ride itself is BASED on the story of the Adventurers series or is actually built around Barron's old house. So either the stories centered around the Adventurers sets are REAL and occurred within the Lego Marvel universe or they are themselves a popular old adventure serial within that universe.
So, putting it all together. Lego Spider-Man exists in a world where Mary Jane either does not exist is not a mainstay in Peter's life. Gwen Stacey is still alive and may or may not be in a relationship with Peter while also being Ghost-Spider at the same time. Indicating she got powers at some point in this world. The Clone Saga itself is currently happening, through entirely different circumstances and means but is occurring regardless. And the old Lego Adventurers series is in one way or another Canon to the Lego Marvel series, as either actual events or in-universe media.
This is all incredibly out of left field and strange and a major rabbit hole of over thinking. So I'm just going to end this by saying, I'm just glad Black Cat is included in this set, cause I'm gonna have her and Spider-Man making out on the top of the building when I'm finally done building it! Peter X Felicia forever!

Canada is... a strange place
From the comments on this CBC News article.
Tumblr media
Yes, I am arguing with a Nazi space lizard. On a real grown-up news site. And I'm the one getting booted by the mod. This is a short saga, you wanna hear it?
First of all, I have the AP, the BBC and Teen Vogue's OG History bookmarked to read various kinds of news. They all have their shortcomings (god yes), but there is no single source of trustworthy, unbiased information out there, so I compare and contrast. (I should probably get Al-Jazeera on there, but I also probably shouldn't read the news so much.) None of these places, even Teen Vogue, have a comments section. Because they are there to give you information. If you must, you may go to a social media site, link the article, and comment there. Or maybe you can try writing the editor, like it's print news in the stone age.
That's not how Canada rolls, baby!!
In attempting to read the local news, I have noticed that the default seems to be "allow comments" and this needs to be turned off when it's an article that will attract really awful people (like a kid with cancer or someone dying of COVID). Sometimes - often - they forget to do that. I have seen an apparently panicked, traumatized mod turn off the comment feature while I'm reading the article. One instant there's a little bubble inviting me to read 150+ comments, the next.. Poof! No comments available on this baby! Sorry!
The space lizard cosplayer (the CBC used to make you use your real name, but that seems to not be the case anymore) is expressing an opinion on Surrey's classroom policy, which says teachers may continue to teach in 39 degree (that's 102, for us ex-pats) heat, indoors, but at a "rest effort" whatever the hell that means.
That, alone, is batshit. I used to live in a desert. I told them so - as one does - and scrolled down to have a look at the train wreck in progress.
At the very top was someone calling (one assumes her?)self "Branda Emerald" just letting us all know that "Surrey is run by foreigners now." The mods picked that one off while I was reading my lizard friend's thread.
I had to go look this up right now, (I am a Niner through-and-through, it's just been a while and it's blurry) but Cardassians are, indeed, ectotherms. So, assuming (sarcastically as hell) this person was replying in character, I told them to cut that out, that their tough-guy persona was a little bitch (I'm paraphrasing, I did not swear), and if he wanted to comment on education, he ought to pretend to be Keiko O'Brien.
Tumblr media
(Keiko here was a tragically underused and underwritten character, but tough as hell. She stayed married to Miles, after all.)
Nope! Mods didn't like that!
I didn't save that one, but, of course, I addressed them directly in the next. And that's not civil or on-topic or... I don't care. It's absurd, is what it is. I think I've said I like it when postmodern absurdity snaps its tether and makes a live appearance, so I took a picture before my comment went to Comment Heaven. I imagine it's frolicking there with Branda's overt white nationalism, even as we speak.
To sum up: On Canada's leading news... Hang on. Let me check that for accur...
Tumblr media
Oh dear Christ. Alright! On Canada's second most popular news website, I got into an argument with a Nazi space lizard, and according to the mods, I am the asshole. I mean, I know I am an asshole, but it's odd that Lizard Hitler is a model citizen worthy of comment privileges and I, a humble frog, am not.
My go-to story for demonstrating Canada's brand of weirdness will remain, "Yeah, one morning I woke up and the top news article was 'Rob Ford Has Eaten a Bee,'" as it's a lot more succinct. Nevertheless, I think "People pretending to be genocidal space lizards think 102 degree classrooms are NBD, and I'm the crazy one" will be, er, the second most popular.

I think it comes from the same anon, so here is your reply, and for the love of blue cheese, please learn how to use commas, remove double spaces or just press F7 on your keyboard next time you try to write something, it will really help you in the future.
Now, back to your statements :
Fighting against Rhea fits in quite nicely with FE running theme of humanity choosing its own fate rather than being playthings for dragons
Fire Emblem has never been a series of “choosing” fate rather than being “playthings” to lizards.
FE series is all about a blue haired protagonist coming to terms with their duties and expectations, and doing the “right thing” when it is needed/asked.
Also, daily reminder that FE8′s dragons do not expect anything from humanity :)
While the Elibe dragons just wanted to live in peace, but some people didn’t want that :)
Unless you’re talking about some weird kink Nergal (and Eliwood?) was into with his dragon wife, but I am not into that.
heck its been there from the start with dragons starting a problem and humanity escalating into bad behavior loupre the evil dragon who corrupted a bunch of humans
Imagine an asshole doing assholish things suddenly means all members of the race of the asshole are automatically assholes themselves :(
I sure hope it’s not the case, else, following this maxim, Seliph is also someone who forcefully seduces ladies since Bramsel did it first, because they are both humans.
Elibe dragons were attacked by humans, so unless breathing counts as “starting a problem” I don’t know what was expected of them. Archanea dragons, since you seem to like this verse enough to talk about it - but not enough to read about it - degenerated naturally, yes, but the enemity Medeus had towards them is not because humans have round ears, nope, but because humans enslaved “disminished” dragons who became manaketes.
You could even make a point that humans always start to mess with dragons and it bites them in the rear, this is what happens in FE Archanea, FE Elibe, FE Ylisse (since Grima is an artificial, human made construct) and, arguably, in FE Fodlan with all this nonsense about Crests and whatnot.
Hm.
This makes me think of this (translated) line in FE4, between Loptyr who possesses Julius and Seliph :
Yurius (defeated by Celice): “Urrgghhhh… Take note, Celice…! While greed exists in men’s hearts… …I will return…! …You’ve been warned! Gaaahhh…”
FE15′s ending narration :
Only one truth is clear: War will come again, when man grows proud and slothful once more, and its flames will devour one and all, raging until the very earth itself lies scorched and bare of life. For whatever madness lay in the hearts of gods… a darkness deeper still beats wild in the hearts of man…
Medeus from FE12 :
Medeus: GWAH...! WHY......? WHY... HAVE I... BEEN DEFEATED... SO EASILY...? IS THIS... THE POWER... ...OF NAGA'S... BINDING SHIELD...? KNOW THIS, HUMANS... THIS LIGHT IS ONLY A BRIEF RESPITE... SO LONG AS EVIL LURKS WITHIN THE HEARTS OF MAN... SHOULD THIS ACCURSED SHIELD BE LOST, WE SHALL RISE FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL... DO NOT... EVER FORGET...
Medeus from FE11 :
Medeus: “Nngh…Defeated again…by humans! Know this, Altean prince… That light which surrounds you is only a temporary respite. So long as the darkness in your hearts continues to sustain me…I cannot be…destroyed….. Rrraaahhh!!!!!”
So what can take from the Archanea saga - which created and cemented the themes that inspired all future FEs?
Some dragons are big and scary and powerful, as long as Men have evil/greed/darkness/madness in their hearts, they will continue to exist ; almost as if those bad dragons are the symptoms of an illness caused by Humanity’s folly, or just, humans being humans and asses.
Loptry did not corrupt the first Galle - Jugdral is very clear about how Dragons give magic blood to humans, it is a pact. Galle I wanted power, and he received power. Through the course of the Jugdral games (I recommend playing them, watching a LP or just reading their script on SF, trust me, your posts will finally have some substance!) the player will realise that Julius is the only “corrupted” human by the power of Loptyr, but Manfroy, Bramsel, Chagall, Di Maggio, and even Arvis himself?
Are not corrupted at all by a dragon, they made their own choices and while I know some people really like the concept of agency being removed to justify a fave still being a fave, even if she ends up mindbroken in a certain game, all those Jugdral people? They do what they want, and not what a lizard locked in a book wants.
rhea reminds me of mila and dumas They all actively interfere with and try to shape humanity to fit their ideals but ultimately are detrimental to the humans they seek to protect
DM me if you can create a Tumblr account, because I would really like to play the personalised copy of FE15 and FE16 you received!
In my copy, and the one some person at SF received and transcripted on the site for everyone to access, and the ones all those people on Youtube who made LPs received -
Mila’s biggest “sin” is to have grown lazy and complacent and not have taken enough action regarding the humans of Zofia, allowing Lima to seduce ladies and Desaix to burn a bunch of babies.
Rhea’s interference is so active that 
Hubert complains that she didn’t do enough to shape the world as she saw fit,
Nopes!Leicester dgaf about her and don’t even know who she is, 
a branch of her organisation tries to kill her for sheltering foreigners.
I suppose she is as active as Leopold’s braincells when he stares at a map.
rhea was scared of humans and claimed without her fodlan was doomed which isnt true
She was so scared of humans that welcomed thousands of them in her home, and even showed her ears to at least one of them!
Seriously, I panick and freeze the second I see a wasp (the animal!), so I would never welcome thousands of them in my home, and show them my ears. 
Also, given how suicidal Rhea is, I doubt she would have ever said, or entertained the thought, that Fodlan would be doomed without her - she might have said something similar regarding the Goddess however, but unlike what some peple seriously believe, Rhea and her mother are not one and the same -
ergo, the Church of Seiros is not the Catholic Church! but take this statement with a grain of salt, I don’t have any degree :’(
( I meant Loptous not loupre I confused his name for something else its been a while )  julius was a victim of loptous  his mind was changed due to his hatred for humanity which was embodied by the tome which had always been his goal The devs outright said that Loptous was in control of both Gair and Julius, even calling Julius his victim    mila and dumas were wrong  and their actions hurt humanity 2/2
Are you talking about this?
A: Loputousu, Narga and Holsety held different positions compared to the other dragons. Loputousu’s plan was obvious – “to use Bishop Galle to wreak vengeance on the humans”, which is why he formed a blood pact with Galle. The holy dark tome Loputousu contained Loputousu’s overpowering hatred and resentment towards humans, and was able to control the human who broke its seal (namely Bishop Galle’s descendants, those who inherited large amounts of the original pact-former’s blood). So it was, a human who possessed Loputousu’s strength and will was born.
Loptyr was an ass, and wanted to piss on humans by using Galle’s descendants as meatsuits (note how this only says the humans who were controlled were Galle’s descendants, not the man himself!).
As for Galle 1, Kaga says this about him :
In Genealogy of the Holy War, the ambitious Bishop Galle believed the legend that “drinking the blood of the ancient dragons grants one tremendous power and eternal life” and traveled around the world, finally arriving at the continent of Akaneia. He met with one of the Earth Dragons, Loputousu, who allowed him to form a blood pact.
Julius is indeed a victim of the dragon, but in Julius’s case, since we know jackshit about Galle 2 to Galle X (who was rekt’d by the Crusaders), who is the loser who “engineers” his creation, and who gives him the tome that will corrupt him?
It’s not Loptyr, since Loptyr locked himself in a book. Hint : that person has no scales.
And don’t worry about Duma and Mila being wrong, my personalised copy of FE15 had them acknowledge the errors of their ways, and entrust the fate of Valentia to Alm’n’Celica, but my copy also had a character named Desaix who burnt babies to become King without any draconic interference.
3/2 dragons arent all evil but a dragon calling himself a god and refusing to humble themselves tends to be a sign of bad things
Hopefully not many dragons call themselves gods, especially not in the Archanea verse where that title is given to them by humans, but they never call themselves “gods”.
And I think we went over it in the other post, what do you mean by “humbling” themselves? Truncating their ears? Mutilate themselves to “look like” humans? Get rid of their hearts?
Medeus was so pissed that humans enslaved dragons who accepted to “humble” themselves that he became very angry - unless you’re suggesting that the only way for dragons to “humble” themselves is to become slaves?
from the start onwars the trend had been a dragon starting problems and humans escalating into terrible behavior
You are repeating yourself anon.
( dumas and mila whose human followers reflected their degenerated states)
Are you implying that Duma, in his madness, would have swooned over Zeke and fell in love with him, like his follower Tatiana did ?? 
Or Nomah is a lazy bum who has a harem of nuns, like Mila ??
it was dumas fault and milas fault  later games evened out the dragons and human conflict like in fates ( basically dragons do cause problems  like rhea who tried to control humanity
You know, since you put numbers in your asks, there is no need to repeat yourself since I read and reply to them in a bulk. So there is no need to repeat “Mila’n’Duma BaD” in each post, I got your pov the first time!
Fates is, I reckon, not my area of expertise. You would have more chance talking to Fates fans. But from what I remember, Anankos degenerated, he gave his dragon stone to Azura’s ancestor hoping he could sing for him but after some time it didn’t work, and that’s it ?
I don’t think how this evens it out - unless you’re talking about how, in Fates, everything “bad” happens because of Anankos, without any human hand, but it has the very unfortunate implication of saying a race of people is bad because this person who has a mental illness did bad things, and I really do not support this train of thought.
As for Rhea :
It goes without saying, however the reason for Seiros tampering with history was not so she could rule over humanity—it was to minimize war and preserve peace across the land.
The devs don’t agree with you, and despite what the personalised copy you got said, or what NoA advertised, Rhea, and the Church of Seiros, never controlled nor ruled over Fodlan.
Whatever issues Rhea’s secrets and “guidance” cause, the main problems arising in FE16 (and in Nopes) are caused by Agarthans - humans. Not lizards.
---
Actually the picture I picked isn’t very adequate, because after all those burns, you need to stay hydrated anon, and drinking your own salt won’t help you at all.
Maybe you should try water?

9/4/22
Part of tonight’s spoils, written with the stipulation that Akon could only be mentioned once, in the continuing saga of “why is this fic only the Akon lines”:
"Fuckin’ Akon must’ve rubbed off on me," Renji mutters.
"What’s that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, I asked him about the chain-smoking—you know, shooting the shit during Muguruma’s death march. He doesn’t trust we’re not all gonna fuck this up. But I guess those’re just betting odds, so it’s not personal."
"You’d have been a marginally richer street rat if you’d ever believed in betting odds," Rukia reminds him. The con, of course, was that Rukia picked pockets while Renji lost his shirt; big losers were always welcome in the dice halls.
Renji shrugs, noncommittal, though that’s one of their better stories. They’d already been on their way to the Academy, already on their way out. The dice halls were warm and always smelled like rice wine.
"Do you ever get that feeling? Like—" Renji gives a fraying branch a decisive tug and adds it to the collection under his left arm. Then he turns, but he’s not looking at her. He scrutinizes the rabbit in her arms. "Like you’re about to lose something. Everything’s fine, though; no one’s dying, nothing’s on fire. It’s all hypothetical. But you just know."
Rukia doesn’t answer immediately. All she can think about is the dead, and all the things that are not fine. She remembers realizing what Ukitake planned to do. The dread had carved her open. And then, like clockwork, that dread had become loss. There’d been no hypotheticals. She can’t imagine any hypothetical with claws that could compare. When Rukia thinks she is about to lose something, generally she loses it. When given the chance, she fights like hell to make sure that doesn’t happen. But that fear has ever been proved wrong.
"'You just know' but you also think… you’re wrong?" Rukia asks.
"My lizard brain thinks it’s right."
"What about the monkey one?"
"That’s not what I— Also, it’s a snake. A monkey and snake—"
"You dummy, I know—"
"But do you know what I’m talking about?"
To Rukia, it sounds like optimism, maybe. Damp optimism. It sounds very far away.
"It’s fine," Renji says, and means it. But Rukia knows he’s wrong. It’s not fine, and she wasn’t quick enough or kind enough to make it fine for Renji.
It’s like there’s empty places in her brain, like maybe all that dread had ricocheted off her heart and punched through her skull, too. She should be able to feel what Renji feels, or at least imagine. She should be able to close her eyes and know that feeling. She should be able to find it. But there’s nothing. Just the same regret, the same empty, the same, over and over again.
"This is probably far enough, yeah?" Renji whistles as he peers downward.
They’ve come to a ridge. Rukia has no idea how far they are from camp, but straight ahead the forest sheers abruptly. Maybe there’s a creek down below that will be full come spring, or maybe Gillian had come through, tearing through rock and root alike. If this is the way Captain Muguruma leads them tomorrow, it won’t be pleasant. But for their purposes tonight, it’s probably ideal.
