Eidos of the Endless
04/03/2023 (Pisces)
as of right now they are formless or at least don't have a specific chosen form yet, and they hang around in the astral. On the first night I cuddled with them, they were baby-sized. Last night they hugged me from behind and were toddler-sized.
They have the (slightly creepy) cognitive understanding you'd expect from a celestial, primordial being. I haven't interacted with them much but I can Feel Them Watching Me.

I got raped by a non human entity. I didn’t know what to do because I don’t know what species is that person and I can’t even astral project on my own. My period is supposed to be regular but this month I missed it. I don’t know where to go and what to do.
What should I do? I have been in stomach pain since yesterday and I can’t sleep properly
Am I going to be pregnant physically as well? I rmb he did it in dreamscape. That dude entered my dream and posed himself looking like my boyfriend and I thought he was until it was finished.
you should probably check the astral page. there is a section on astral pregnancy that goes over some basic stuff.
i honestly wouldn't know why your physical period is off, but astral rape will not result in physical pregnancy or physical STDs or anything like that.
as for what to do about it, it would depend so heavily on the specifics of your own situation that i don't really feel comfortable suggesting anything beyond learning more and going from there.

The child was stillborn.
She doesn’t talk about it.

Who do you think have the saddest backstories in your fic?
oh man oh boi everyone is dealt an equal amount of angst, I’d say! It’s a different type of ‘sad’ depending on the character tho. But some of them don’t have a tragic past per se, which obviously doesn’t mean that they’ll be spared from suffering and trauma as the story proceeds.
Ludwig and Gratia for example (siblings, in my fic) didn’t experience anything particularly terrible in their past but will go through a lot ç__ç
Mmmh… if I had to pick one character that had it rougher than anybody else it would probably be Evelyn though. Evelyn -yes, the woman the gun is named after- is Maria’s older sister in my story and despite the fact that she presents herself as this haughty, confident noblewoman surrounded by people that worship the ground she walks on, she is haunted by the traumatic experience of going through multiple miscarriages. Struggling to have children isn’t unique to Annalise in my story. Leaning into the vampire trope, the Cainhurst nobles can only create more Vilebloods by sharing their blood with others. And that’s not exactly comparable to literally bringing a child into the world, especially not for a matriarchal society obsessed with communing with the Great Ones like their Pthumerian ancestors did. Evelyn’s experience also heavily reflects on Maria and is one of the many reasons why she is so affected by the events of the Fishing Hamlet. Evelyn isn’t a hunter nor a crazy scholar, just a woman dealing with a much less fantastical type of trauma (you know, no insane quest for knowledge, no hubris, no bloodlust) and that is why she is probably the most tragic.
Especially since when she finally manages to give birth to a healthy baby girl, this girl happens to be Arianna.
And we all know what happens to Arianna in the game so… yeah :

Fun Bloodborne implication is that the Healing Chruch knew they needed a woman from Cainhurst to get old-blood pregnant and give them an infant Great One.
And they had Maria working for them who is (actually) from Cainhurst.
I find it very very hard to believe they didn’t ask her. Maybe they didn’t know about the blood pregnancy thing till after she died? Maybe whenever Laurence brought it up with her she kicked the shit out of him? Maybe Maria us transgender? It could be all or non of these.

I've heard a lot about mortals getting pregnant and having astral children, but pretty much never anything about mortals getting gods or spirits pregnant with astral kids. Is this even a thing? Or is it just one of those things that doesn't get openly talked about much because the internet is full of jerks?
You nailed it! Euphemism not intended.
In the roughest sense, think of astral shenanigans as being equations. It doesn't matter where the numbers come from for X + Y = Z, as long as it happens somewhere.
I had this long winded math based explanation that made no sense.
Basically 5+5 and 3+7 and 4+6 all equal ten, no matter which spot is the most contributing content.
It's really up to the divine/deity and yourself to determine who wants to do what, if ever. It never has to happen! It can happen all the time! Your choice.

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜ (to Jayn~)
"I'm pregnant. I have our baby in me, Cass & I don't know if I can--if I--" Jayn's eyes welled up with tears that she'd been holding back for two whole days. "Y'know I'm always late. I just had a feeling. & well, we haven't exactly been 'safe' the last couple of times..."
As in, having a frenetic four-person orgy when Caleb finally came home before 10 earlier in the week. Jayn & Pogue going from sleeping in to cuddling to dry humping to him pounding her into oblivion while she held onto the headboard for dear life...the same Saturday Caleb & Cass went to the farmers' market & gave each other handjobs in his car. Caleb fucking Jayn in the bathroom two floors below his office, because his meeting had pissed him off & she'd conveniently been nearby. Pogue taking Cass apart in front of their full-length mirror as a "punishment" for her ogling him as he got dressed for work. & then, not that anyone would get pregnant from it necessarily (well, not initially), that time when the mischievous three competed to see who could give Cass the best oral for her birthday (the "best" taking how quickly she came, how hard she came & how loudly she came into account; as with all their competitions, the receiver got five minutes to relax after each orgasm*).
Jayn gulped, nervous fingers latching onto the disposable napkin in front of her. She always grabbed onto things when her anxiety took hold. She also had trouble maintaining eye contact.
"I took six tests on Wednesday. Two for each brand, all positive." Her teeth dug into her bottom lip, almost drawing blood. "I'm pregnant," she whispered, tears wetting the napkin. So much for having a fun Friday lunch. "What am I...I know you want kids. Caleb does. Pogue does. & I want you guys to have them, but...I can't be a mom. I can't! Look at me! I'm pathetic. Should they really get magic & being sad all the time, because of me? & what if I'm not a good mom-?"
Her voice cracked. She didn't want to say it, but all four of them had dealt with some kind of parent-related pain. Her father, who wasn't a witch in any way, had been horrified when she displayed her powers for the first time years ago. Caleb's dad had been so selfish that he hurt his family & himself, driving Caleb's mom to become an alcoholic. Pogue's parents...they only ever communicated with the Parrys when one of the other Sons served as a middleman, because those two disapproved of everything Pogue loved, all after abusing him for years. & Cass's mom & her husband were assholes. Jayn didn't want her kids dealing with any of that because of her.
"...I was going to say something before Monday, I swear..." She couldn't bring herself to look up & see her wife's shocked or angry or disappointed expression. To know she hurt Cass...anyone who hurt Cassia Keller (well, Cassia Danvers legally) was a horrible human being. "I'm scared. For the kid, for me having all the symptoms--I know that's selfish, but I am--how are we even going to raise them? I'd get maternity leave, obviously...Pogue doesn't even go in all the time now, but he has to sometimes...Caleb's always busy, or at least exhausted...& you wouldn't have work off unless you took vacation time..." But all that felt like an excuse.
It felt like the whole world was frowning down at her, grumbling about how much of a coward she was & how so many people wished they could be in her position.
What the hell was she supposed to do?

✎ . . .❝ —IT’D BE THE ONE WITH THE BREEDING KINK. ❞
—minors dni, poly! stsgverse, shoko cameo, m!preg jokes…i’m only a girl, pregnancy talk, breeding kink mentions so suggestive, dick is said once
⭑ ࣪ ˖ sum’z notes.ᐟ based off this post qwq
Tumblr media
“suguru told me he stores cursed spirits in his stomach.”
“mhm?” satoru hums, shoves another spoonful of sugary cereal in his mouth before glancing between you and the aforementioned man. “what about it?”
the forced frown on your trembling lips is a dead giveaway to your amusement, if the delight in your eyes wasn’t enough. suguru sighs, satoru grins. nothing like troublemaking at 8am.
“excellent.” falls amongst your next words. “im one step closer to getting him pregnant.”
shoko slaps a hand over her mouth, muffling laughter that is immediately overshadowed by suguru's sharp gasp, choking on his oatmeal. “pregna—“
“who says you’re getting him pregnant?”, satoru objects, and pouts his lips at you. “i’m the one with the equipment to make that happen, how are you gonna get him pregnant?”
you wave him off with a dismissive hand. “im sure there’s a curse out there that can give me a dick or something.”
“y/n, i am a man.” suguru gawks at the two of you as he states the obvious. “i don’t even have all the necessary organs to carry children—“
“now, suguru, it’s alright. don’t you worry your pretty little head about that.” you reach over to thumb a gentle caress over geto’s knuckles. despite the affectionate gesture, the playful grin on your lips reveals your true feelings. and it’s not sympathy at his lack of a womb.
“yeah, shoko could always surgically implant you with new parts—ow!” satoru’s brilliant suggestion is interrupted by your brunette friend’s elbow to the back of his head.
“don’t include me in your dumbass idea.”, she scoffs, also flicking you in the forehead. she giggles at your exaggerated ‘owww!’ before escaping into the living room.
“i think if anyone here was gonna get pregnant—,” suguru narrows his eyes, “—it’d be the one with the breeding kink.” He studies you up and down after the snarky words.
“oh!”, you nod your head in understanding. “sooo, satoru?”
gojo objects through another mouthful of milk and cereal, “no! no, not me!”
“ah, you two do share that interest, don’t you?”, suguru wonders aloud. “i suppose it’s up to me to provide you both another worthwhile experience, then. and if it leads to satoru getting pregnant, so be it.”
“now, wait a minute!,” satoru interjects. “why is it just me and not y/n—“
“a worthwhile experience?” his upturned lips make your own grin widen, and the silent, mutual agreement to purposely ignore satoru’s protests only adds to both of your amusement. "just say you also have a breeding kink, suguru."
he chuckles. “shut up.”

Honkai Star Rail A/B/O: Pups
Characters: Blade, Jing Yuan, and Welt as Alphas.
CW: omegaverse, nsfw, pregnancy mentions.
A/N: I just woke up and this is what I write? Wonderful :3
-------
Blade
Least likely to have pups because of his goals. He doesn't want to bring new life only for him to not be there to watch them grow depending on when death finally comes for him.
There's also the fact as a wanted man it could bring unwanted attention to his family and they could be used against him. Not to mention his memory issues and Mara. Overall he knows he's not fit to be a parent.
Though if he he could have one provided there was no danger and he could live a relatively normal life with his omega he'd have at least one. If his omega can't have kids he doesn't mind he's happy to just be with them anyways.
On the off chance his omega is pregnant after one of their many heats and his ruts he'll take responsibility should they wish to go through with it.
Carefully watches over his omega during pregnancy and tends to loom more than usual while they eat and such. Even when he doesn't recognize them he still tends to their needs to the best of his ability.
Might not be the best Dad but he tries and with the other Stellaron Hunters looking out for him and his family I'd say his pups live a pretty decent life all things considered.
Jing Yuan
Man is Dad material. Enough said.
He already looks after Yanqing what's another pup or two? Definitely wants to have some with his omega should they also want some.
If they do want pups he'll get to work right away, no time like the present to fill them to the brim. His omega better be prepared for the days and nights of their life.
Should they not want or can't have pups of their own he doesn't mind one bit, they have Yanqing and if they want they could adopt more.
Tries to be there for his omega during pregnancy as much as possible though he's busy. If he's unable to leave his duties he'll send Yanqing in his stead, better get him prepared to be an older brother after all.
Overall a wonderful father even if he's busy most of the time.
Welt
Very likely to not have pups since he already has his son and well the Astral Express trio are like his pups anyways.
He wouldn't be opposed to adopting more though with being a Nameless he has to consider their safety so it may take some careful planning and thought before they go through with it.
If his omega some how ends up pregnant he'll sit with them and make sure this is something that they want and let them know he'll be there for them regardless of their decision.
Should his omega decide to go through with it he'll be there every step of the way.
Appreciates the other members of the Astral Express helping out with caring for his pup and omega when he can't be there. Pom Pom is ecstatic at the news of a new member its adorable.

SO
I am officially carrying my first astral child/syskid (not sure which they'll turn out to be yet, maybe both). Gonna do my best to document how it goes just bc I needed posts like that to feel more at ease myself so hopefully others will too.
So far it's not been very long so I haven't noticed much besides the few dreams I had basically confirming it for me (YMMV - one of my close spirit fam is Dre@m of the 3ndless so)
Mostly I'm just Nervous. I don't have a good past-life track record for children and I'm hoping this time goes better than the last. I have a lot of people and entities looking out for me this time, though, so there's that.

February’s full Moon is a “Micromoon” this year. Think of this term as the opposite of a “Supermoon.” It simply means that the full Moon is at its farthest point from Earth (not the nearest point).
The explanation behind February’s full Moon name is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver, who had visited with the Naudowessie(Dakota), wrote that the name used for this period was the Snow Moon, “because more snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.”

Imbolc is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of spring. Most commonly it is held on January 31 – February 1, or halfway between the winter solstice & the spring equinox. The holiday is a festival of the hearth, home, a celebration of the lengthening days & the early signs of spring. 
The word "imbolc" means "in the belly" and refers to the pregnancy of ewes at this time of year. The term "oimelc" means ewe's milk. Around this time of year, many herd animals give birth to their first offspring of the year or are heavily pregnant & as a result, they are producing milk. This creation of life’s milk is a part of the symbolic hope for spring.
Imbolc is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature and it is associated with important events in Irish mythology. It has been suggested that it was originally a pagan festival associated with the goddess Brigid and that it was Christianized as a festival of Saint Brigid, who herself is thought to be a Christianization of the goddess.
Some use Imbolc to celebrate the longer days which herald the return of Spring & The Goddess's recovery from giving birth to The Sun (The God) at Yule. The God & The Goddess are children symbolizing new life, new beginnings & new resurrections.
Related festivals:
• Groundhog Day-  Is a tradition observed in the United States & Canada on February 2 of every year. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day & sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den & winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early.
While the tradition remains popular in the 21st century, studies have found no consistent association between a groundhog seeing its shadow & the subsequent arrival time of spring-like weather.
•St. Brigid's Day- 1 February. It was originally Imbolc, the first day of spring in Irish tradition. Because Saint Brigid has been theorised as linked to the goddess Brigid, some associate the festival of Imbolc with the goddess. St. Brigid is the patroness saint (or 'mother saint') of Ireland. She is patroness of many things, including poetry, learning, healing, protection, blacksmithing, livestock & dairy production. In her honour, a perpetual fire was kept burning at Kildare for centuries.
A recent campaign successfully established her feast day as a national holiday in 2023.
• Chinese New Year- (February 10th) the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. In Chinese, the festival is commonly referred to as the Spring Festival,- marking the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season. Observances traditionally take place from Chinese New Year's Eve, the evening preceding the first day of the year, to the Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the year. The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between January 21st & February 20th.
The Chinese New Year is associated with several myths and customs. The festival was traditionally a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the New Year vary widely & the evening preceding the New Year's Day is frequently regarded as an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.
It is also a tradition for every family to thoroughly clean their house, in order to sweep away any ill fortune & to make way for incoming good luck. Another custom is the decoration of windows & doors with red paper-cuts and couplets. Popular themes among these paper-cuts and couplets include good fortune or happiness, wealth & longevity. Other activities include lighting firecrackers  & giving money in red envelopes.
•  Candlemas- is a Christian feast day on February 2nd commemorating the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. It is based upon the account of the presentation of Jesus in Luke 2:22-40. 
While it is customary for Christians in some countries to remove their Christmas decorations on Twelfth Night, those in other Christian countries historically remove them after Candlemas.On Candlemas, many Christians also take their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the rest of the year.
•Setsubun- (February 3rd) Is the day before the beginning of spring in the old calendar in Japan. The name literally means 'seasonal division', referring to the day just before the first day of spring.
Both Setsubun & Risshun are celebrated yearly as part of the Spring Festival (Haru matsuri ) in Japan. In its association with the Lunar New Year, Setsubun, though not the official New Year, was thought of as similar in its ritual & cultural associations of 'cleansing' the previous year as the beginning of the new season of spring. Setsubun was accompanied by a number of rituals & traditions held at various levels to drive away the previous year's bad fortunes & evil spirits for the year to come.
Other Celebrations:
• Lupercalia-
In ancient Rome, this festival was conducted annually on February 13th through 15th under the superintendence of a corporation of priests called Luperci. The origins of the festival are obscure, although the likely derivation of its name from lupus (Latin: “wolf”) has variously suggested connection with an ancient deity who protected herds from wolves and with the legendary she-wolf who nursed Romulus and Remus. As a fertility rite, the festival is also associated with the god Faunus.
to purify the city, promoting health & fertility.
Each Lupercalia began with the sacrifice by the Luperci of goats and a dog, after which two of the Luperci were led to the altar, their foreheads were touched with a bloody knife & the blood was wiped off with wool dipped in milk; the ritual required that the two young men laugh. The sacrificial feast followed, after which the Luperci cut thongs from the skins of the sacrificial animals & ran in two bands around the Palatine hill, striking with the thongs at any woman who came near them. A blow from the thong was supposed to render a woman fertile.
In 494 CE the Christian church under Pope Gelasius I forbade participation in the festival. Tradition holds that he appropriated the form of the rite as the Feast of the Purification (Candlemas), celebrated on February 2, but it is likely that the Christian feast was established in the previous century. It has also been alternately suggested that Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14th, but the origin of that holiday was likely much later.

Spideys as incorrect quotes pt2
Hobie: *Kicks the door down*
Pavitr: What did you do?
Hobie: Nobody died.
Pavitr: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miguel: What do you call disobeying the law?
The Squad: A hobby.
Miguel: *crosses their arms*
The Squad: That we do not engage in
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pavitr: I’ve become a bread crumb dealer to four crows at the lake. They pay me with a bit of everything. Like shiny things, fabric, or pens. But recently they paid me with a 20 dollar bill they found somewhere. So I decided to buy them some more expensive bread. They loved it. So they understand what to do. Give me money. I’ve probably racked up about 200 dollars at this point. Is it morally wrong though, I mean. They’re the ones who steal the money from others. Or perhaps they just have a big pile laying somewhere. Should I keep on doing this?
Hobie: You sound like the start of a Batman villain.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pavitr, pointing at Hobie: Are they a Freak (derogatory)?
Pavitr, pointing at Gwen: Or a Freak (affectionate)?
Miles: Why not both?
Pavitr, to Miles: You’re so right, Freak
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pavitr: Could you guys at least try to see this from my perspective?
Hobie: *crouches down*
Gwen: *kneels down*
Miles: *sits on the floor*
Pavitr: I hate you all
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles: How do Hobie and Pavitr usually get out of these messes?
Gwen: They don't. They just make a bigger mess that cancels the first one out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gwen: Hey Pavitr.
Pavitr: *punches Gwen in the stomach*
Gwen: What the fuck?
Pavitr: You are one of my very best friends. And I cannot stand by and watch you throw away your life like this. You're too young....YOU'RE TOO BEAUTIFUL!
Gwen: What the fuck are you talking about?
Pavitr: I'm talking about the baby that's growing inside of your belly right now.
Gwen: I'm not pregnant!
Pavitr: Well, not after that punch you're not. I've been taking muay thai classes.
Gwen: I was never pregnant, Pavitr!
Pavitr: Are... you sure?
Gwen: Yes I'm fucking sure!
Hobie: I'm sorry, but why the fuck is everybody yelling over here?
Pavitr: Oh, I found this positive pregnancy test and—
Hobie: *punches Gwen in the stomach*
Gwen: AW, MOTHERFU–
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gwen: Today at 7 am, Pavitr poured a Monster energy drink in his coffee, said "I'm going to die" and drank the whole thing.
Hobie: I watched him brew his coffee with Monster instead of water. Three cups in two hours. I think he ascended into the astral realm.
Miles: The survivability of the human race never fails to amaze me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles: I currently have 7 empty notebooks and I have no idea what to put in them. Any suggestions?
Pavitr: Put spaghetti in it.
Miles: I am currently taking suggestions from everyone but you.
Hobie: Put spaghetti in it.
Miles: I am currently taking suggestions from everyone but you two.
Gwen: Put spaghetti in it.
Miles: I am no longer taking suggestions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pavitr: What’s up with Gwen? she’s been laying on the floor for like….an hour now?
Hobie: She’s just a little overwhelmed.
Pavitr: Why?
Hobie: Miles smiled at her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hobie, Gwen & Miles: *screaming*
Pavitr: *runs into the room* Miles whats wrong?!
Hobie: Wait, why are you asking Miles that when Gwen and I are also here?
Pavitr: Because Miles wouldn't scream unless it's an emergency. You two scream whenever you have the chance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hobie: What’s your biggest fear?
Gwen: That I’ll never be good enough for anyone.
Miles: Everyone hates me and talks about me behind my back.
Pavitr: Zombies.
Gwen: ...
Miles: ...
Pavitr: BUT they can open doors.

I really love your hsr men fic when they accidentally get their s/o pregnant! I'd like to request the same but instead of telling them, how about s/o ran away from them after she knows she's pregnant because she thought they never want a child?
Hi! Thank you so so much it means a lot to hear you enjoyed something I worked on! And yes I can absolutely do this request! It’s so good oh my gosh!! Part two to this!
Cw! Pregnancy
-Honkai Star Rail men with a pregnant reader who ran away-
Welt Yang: is heartbroken to receive a letter from you simply saying that you must leave him. He wants an explanation. Wants to know what he did wrong, how he hurt you, Anything and Everything that he did to chase you away. Safe to say he searches for you. He sticks with the Astral Express crew, but suddenly he’s very hands-on with every mission. He wants to go to each new world, with your picture, asking about you, about what happened to you, but he can’t find ANYTHING. It’s like you’ve vanished from the universe. Dan Heng, March 7th and Himeko also pitch in, but there’s no sign of you. The others notice how distressed he is, but he does his best to remain calm and collected, for your sake. He doesn’t want to lose himself. He can’t afford to lose himself. Then he might never find you…
Sampo Koski: Receives the news from Natasha that as soon as you found out you were pregnant, you vanished from the clinic. She tells him the truth of course, it shouldn’t be hidden from the father, and he realizes right then and there why you’d run away. Oh he feels so bad. He didn’t mean to chase you away like that. You asked him about kids once and he made his stance clear that he hated kids, didn’t want anything to do with them. And that’s why you ran, isn’t it? You were scared of what he would do and say once he found out? He doesn’t stop looking for you, but his life has to go on. He mentions you to all his clients, he has a photo of you in his wallet, and eventually time passes and now he mentions that you might have a kid with you. As scared as he is to admit it, he can’t find you anywhere, and he just has to hope you’re safe. But he doesn’t give up that one day he’ll see you again…
Jing Yuan: is terrified to wake up and find you not in bed, nowhere in the house, or in the gardens. He immediately alerts Yanqing and assembles the Cloud Knights for a search and rescue. Oh he’s scared. You’d never just…disappear like that, right? Something happened to you! You must’ve been kidnapped or something awful like that. He doesn’t give up his search for you. He leads it personally, and the search goes on for weeks until he finally has to disassemble the cloud knights for other duties. Him and Yanqing don’t give up though. They even go door to door looking for you, not giving up hope that someday they’ll be reunited with you. Eventually he HAS to return to his duties as General, but he uses up all his free time to track your last known movements and continue his search for you, not willing to just let you go like that. Not ready to give up on you, and the belief that he can find you…
Gepard Landau: like Jing Yuan, he immediately assumes the worst when he can’t find you. You’ve been hurt, attacked, kidnapped or something! He gets permission, and then assembles the Silvermane guards to find you. He puts missing person posters up around the city and the underground (oh my gosh imagine if he drew them himself I’m crying) and he’s determined to find you, offering a promotion to whoever returns you to him. He so, so badly hopes you’re safe wherever you are. He even begs Wildfire for their help in finding you. And when you don’t turn up after the first day, he genuinely begins to panic. He doesn’t know where you could be. Or even why you disappeared, and the thought that something awful happened to you scares him the most…
Luocha: Luocha at first, stays calm and collected when he wakes up that morning and can’t find you anywhere. He just assumed you’ve decided to take a nice walk or something. But you don’t return to him. Now he’s afraid. He uses his merchant contacts to ask around about you, and nothing comes up. He begins to search on his own, trying to start logically, like places you were more likely to be or maybe you’ve been to. But nothing seems to work. He can’t find you anywhere. Now he’s panicked. Why would you just…leave him like that without a word? Were you safe? Were you alright? Right as he begins to really feel the panic sink in, he receives a text from you. “I’m sorry. But I’m safe. Please don’t look for me.” Well. That’s a relief. But he’s afraid he can’t promise he won’t look for you. He tries asking you where you are but you stop answering his texts, and he’s left all alone again, trying to piece together where you might be. He’s not just going to give up on you just like that. He wants to know what he’s done wrong, and he’s determined to find you in hopes that the two of you can work this out…
Let me know if anyone wants a version where they find you, or any other requests for that matter!

Omg I'm the father
Prompt: Kafka found out that she's pregnant and she's sure as heck who's the father.
Warnings: Pregnant Kafka, G!P Reader, reader being apart of the express crew, reader x Himeko, Kafka being reader's ex, Slight smut.
A/n: at this point, I'm just randomly creating story titles 😭
Tumblr media
"So you're positive? You're really pregnant? How? Who's the father?" Silver wolf had her mouth opened, many questions spilling from them as Kafka held up the positive pregnancy test, a smile tugging at her lips.
"Yes I'm sure Silver wolf. I know who's the father," remembering the last time you and her met, she definitely knows whose child she's carrying and couldn't help but be thrilled. Now she has something to remind her of you forever.
"Y/n? Or Blade? I'm not sure Blade will be a good father." Kafka chuckled at Silverwolf's comment.
"It's not Blade. It's y/n."
"Wa-y/n?! Out of all persons?! She belongs to the Astral Express! They'll definitely kill you! Especially her new girlfriend."
"They can't kill me. If they could, they would've done so a long long time besides, I'm sure y/n will be thrilled to hear the news. It's no doubt that this is her child. We had sex for one last time three weeks ago."
"Ew ew ew I didn't need to know that!"
A laugh escaped Kafka's throat before it subsided with a sigh. "Oh y/n~ if only we were still together..."
"Ahh~ f-fuck I'm gonna cum!"
The bed creaked and banged against the wall as you absolutely railed the day lights out of Himeko. She screamed as she squirted for the nth time, as you came as well. How long has it been now? Four hours? You lost time as soon as you started having sex with your now girlfriend Himeko.
Before this, you were working at Herta's space station, and whilst doing that, you were dating the famous Kafka. After she made her arrival at the space station and almost destroyed the whole of it, you realised that she was bad. And you didn't like bad. You knew she was dangerous and you couldn't keep stringing on like that. She however, had one last wish before she promised to be out of your life; she wanted sex from you and that's what you gave. Who in their right mind would deny sex? Especially from Kafka. Her head game was top tier so you couldn't give up such an amazing offer. Then after you met Himeko and started dating her, you joined the express.
Himeko laid on the bed, sweat pooling down her forehead as she struggled to catch her breath. "Nghh~ that was amazinggg," she moaned out as cum gushed out of her gaping hole. You smiled to yourself and kissed her head before a knock was heard.
"Are you guys in here?" Welt's voice resounded from the other side. He sounded... troubled. You instantly frowned and hurriedly put on your clothes, meeting him outside.
"Welt? Is everything okay?"
"Someone wants to talk to you." Without another word being muttered, he led you to the lounge where you saw a hologram version of Kafka, a smile etched it's way onto her face.
"My~ you certainly have gotten more gorgeous than the last time I saw you." She smiled.
"What do you want? Why are you even contacting me?" Confusion and fear made it's way onto your body and a hand suddenly gripped yours. Himeko stood by your side, fully clothed.
"Cut to the chase Stellaron Hunter."
"I'm pregnant."
Silence. Dead silence. Everyone looked stared at Kafka with unreadable expressions until Dan Heng cleared his throat. "Why are you telling us this?" Welt asked.
"It's not you I'm telling, it's you," she pointed at you. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out the positive pregnancy test and showed it to you. Immediately Himeko let go of your hand in shock.
"What? H-how? No no no no this isn't mine....Kafka what?"
"It's all lining up together n/n. The last time we had sex wad three weeks ago," she chuckled remembering Silver wolf's reaction to her telling her this, "it takes up to two-three weeks for a person to get pregnant."
"But we've had sex many times and you weren't pregnant..." you trailed off until your eyes widen. "You planned this?!"
She let out a devious chuckle as she walked closer to you. "Maybe I forgot to use the pills that day~ I mean... I wasn't expecting you to break up with me, and I knew you had no intentions of getting back together with me so I had to act quick. You're really good at using your stick so it was the last time I was gonna feel it. Wouldn't you say so, Himeko?" She looked at Himeko with a teasing smile.
"Well, I expect you to come see me so we can discuss this further."
"I'm not gonna be part of that child's life." Her eyes widened but Himeko said something that made them all shocked.
"Yes you are. You knocked her up, now I don't care if she's your ex, that baby is innocent and its sure not coming into this world with an unstable relationship with it's father," she glared at you before walking away to her room.
Kafka chuckled, "she's got a point. You can't escape from me now. No matter how hard you try, we have a product of our destined relationship that you threw away but no worries, we'll be back together in no time." And with that, the Hologram disappeared leaving you a shocked mess.
March walked up to you, "well um- I- oh god I have no words," she was too stunned to speak. Welt put a comforting hand on your shoulder.
"We'll take you to Kafka whenever you're ready." You nodded and went to find Himeko, preparing for another issue to come.
"You lied to her didn't you?" Silverwolf asked Kafka who was sitting on a chair.
"Hmm, of course I did. I had already predicted that she was going to break up with me due to Elio. He informed me before hand so I planned not to use the pills and ask her for sex knowing that I will get pregnant. She has no choice but to see me and even if she doesn't want to come back to me, I have something to remind me of her. After all," Kafka rubbed her tummy with a smile that sent shivers down Silverwolf's spine.
"She's mine."
A/n: what do you think is going to happen?
