Can I request a continuation for Neuvilette and Zhongli interacting with their eggs. When it's time for the eggs to hatch

Wish u have a great day

(⁠��⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)🍪♥️

(b^_^)b

Zhongli

When the time comes for the egg to hatch you can bet your savings that he’ll be there.

The egg hatching happens in noon when both you and Zhongli are having lunch in the bedroom and talking to one another (or you just listening to Zhongli soothing voice) when all of a sudden you hear a cracking noise.

The both of you look over to see a small crack in the egg which gives you a small panic attack thinking that the egg broke before hearing a small chirping noise from it.

Instantly Zhongli is kneeling down to the nest looking over the egg, a deep rumbling yet soothing sound coming from his throat.

The hatchling still in the egg would chirp loader as more cracks form on the egg.

Just as you came to join him a large crack would appear and a small head would poke out of the egg with their shell still on the top of the hatchlings head and still chirping.

You would probably want to help your child come out of the egg completely before Zhongli gently stops you and told you it’s fine as your child knows how to get out.

When the hatching finally comes out they are as long as your arm and are a similar color to Zhongli Dragon form with a small number differences in some places.

It’s when you see it raises the hatchling head and you see them sniffing the air you would see that their eyes are shut and ask Zhongli if the hatching is ok which he would tell you they are it’s just that geo dragon newborns eyes are born shut and are slightly deaf till they reach a certain age, till then the hatchling will be only able to sense through scent and touch.

He would then gently place his hand in front of the hatchling who would sniff him before climbing up his arm clumsily before he would gently take them and shift them into his arms there they could rest against his chest and feel the beating of his heart.

It would be a beautiful sight for you to see Zhongli as smiled gently at the hatchling.

“Welcome to the world, little one.”

Neuvillette

Unlike their birth the eggs hatching is easier this time due to Neuvillette refusal to leave you and the eggs unsupervised.

It’s during the night when you as leaning against his shoulder in the living room while he’s reading over a case when you look over to check on the eggs resting in a much better made nest then the makeshift one from when they were born that you notice it.

There was a small crack on one of the eggs.

You kept staring at it for a while before another crack popped up on the egg.

You would then start nudging Neuvillette while keeping an eye on the eggs till he looked over to you with confusion till you pointed at the eggs.

It was only then that he noticed that just like you one of the eggs were hatching.

It’s only when the both of you notice the others rocking side by side that realization that they were all hatching.

The both of you would be by the nest, The case paperwork tossed somewhere on the floor as the both of you focused on the hatching.

The first hatchling to hatch would poke their head out before getting scared at the sight of two large figures and instantly going back in the egg.

Neuvillette would be confused about what to do before letting instincts take over and start humming lightly in a inhuman way.

It would gently encourage the hatchling to come out of the egg as the realized the large figures were its parents and would come out before coming over with some wariness before gently being picked up by Neuvillette who gently hold them against his chest while still humming.

Looking over the hatching you would note that they were the size of your hand and were covered in fur instead of scales on its body which confused you but you decided to put it off for later as the other eggs hatch and the hatchlings wanted to get to the parent humming.

It’s later on when you talk with Neuvillette sitting on the couch with the hatchings resting on his chest that he tells you hydro dragon newborns are born with fur to keep themselves warm and that the fur is dense enough to prevent the hatchlings from following their hydro dragon parents under the water when they are out hunting. When the hatchlings grow older they will either lose the fur completely or having some of it still there but no longer dense enough to be unable to dive underwater.

After that one of the hatchlings would make a small noise which draws his attention to them and give a smile to them will eyes filled with love.

“Rest easy now, there’s nothing to fear while I’m here.”

Hello, it is I, the immortal roach in your inbox.

Anywho, I have a question for thee. (Regarding the CT! AU

What do mer-giant eggs look like? Is the shell the same color as the guppy? Is it transparent like frog eggs?

How many eggs can a mother lay in a single clutch, and how big are the eggs once laid?

hellu!

Mer-Giant eggs are rather large, about the size of an orange. Big enough to decently fill the palm of a human hand. Hatchlings are roughly 6 inches when born.

They're kind of like frog eggs, transparent and soft, but the shells are very thick and gelatinous to the touch. They are generally colorless, but as the hatchlings develop the shells begin to colorize. Over time as the hatchlings grow, the shell provides nutrients and weakens, making it easier for the babies to break through.

A Giant mother can lay up to a dozen eggs in a single clutch. She will lay them in warm or shallow waters, hidden amongst reef beds or tree roots. Mother and Father will take turns guarding them while the other hunts for food.

OMGOMGOMGOMG GIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT EVERYONES DRAGON COUNTERPART PLEEEEASE

First I wanted to set some things up Dragons are pack and social animals in my au, having similar family groups to that of a wolf pack, called a flock instead. (No, there is not 'alpha' there's a breeding pair, subordinates (older offspring) older hatchlings and young/newborn hatchlings) So because of this, seeing a lone dragon isn't very common unless they're a dispersal looking for a mate. Even injured members are cared for the best the others can do, they won't kick them from the "flock" While it's common to see dragons living close together in more human like communities minus buildings and such and more so socially, they still get incredibly territorial and will fight eachother over food sources. One flock of 4-5 dragons can eat about 4 deer in a day for example. (if there's two parents each of them will eat 1, and if there's 3 hatchlings, shared between them they'll eat 2.) Dragons mate for life, not searching for a new mate when theirs dies, so there's something wrong when it's a one off to pass on genes, or if it's alone in general. Likely got chased away from any chances of being in a flock. Another thing, flocks will take in other dragons. Especially if they're already familiar with them, such as family that's too old to survive on its own, or a parent with a hatchling that lost their partner. So again, if a dragon is alone, they're likely a menace.

Cuphead and Mugman

Obviously the main focus of this blog. The boys are juveniles and very destructive because of that. Definitely lets... others know where their flock is. They get into places and mess with creatures they shouldn't.

Elder Kettle

Lives in the same territory as his grandchildren. He watches over them as cautiously as he can when their parents are on a hunt or expanding territory. Though, he is old, and can only keep up for so long.

Morningstar (The Devil)

Unlike the rest, he is indeed a unicorn, particularly a nightmare unicorn. Unicorns in many a folklore are enemies to dragons, and that's true in my stories. He's not in a constant state of flame like in some tales, and instead only becomes charged when angry or actively trying to cause harm. No magic comes from his horn, but it's still a sharp and deadly weapon. Has mass hatred for unicorns for casting him away to the dragons for being dangerous, and dragons casting him away for being a unicorn. He finds himself alone, taunting with those who come near to make them miserable.

Dice

A dragon gone rogue with the enemy, he used to be close to Cuphead and Mugman's parents. Until some time before they were born and Dice ended up being suspicious, and was chased away near where Morningstar lives. So, he ended up being around the one he was conspiring with anyways.

Chalice

Still a juvenile, but younger than the brothers, she gets them into plenty more problems. (Orphan too)

Tea and Joe

The loving and protective parents of Cuphead and Mugman, they worry about the things their oldest hatchlings get into. Nothing bad will become of that, right? ... There ARE other characters, but these are the mains. If you're curious about any others, feel free to ask! ^^ (I'll also be making a seperate post for other ocs soon) (the bgs represent their territories btw)

GOOSE WATCH 2024: THE GOOSENING

We have goslings! The eggs have hatched and now we have six baby geese exploring the green roof. As you may recall, there were seven eggs—sadly one of the eggs was broken. But we do have six healthy little goslings toddling about! They are exploring all over the green roof and will grow to many times their current size over the next few weeks. Mom and Dad are being very attentive and staying with the babies as they check out every corner of the roof! One of my favorite things about the pictures I took of the goslings is how they seem to glow in many of the pictures due to the sheer amount of fluff and fuzz of their downy baby feathers.

We hope they will be safe from the Peregrine Falcons and Kestrels that sometimes fly around campus and that they will have enough food and water! We will keep updating our social media as the geese grow and hopefully eventually make it off the roof.

I was the one who originally asked about the twins. I was glad someone else requested Dan Heng, but can you also do that request for Zhongli and Neuvillette as well now? Thanks again!

Alright so I forgot to do a head anon of it earlier but I kind of picture the Dragons in Genshin Impact are born in their dragon form and taught how to turn human in their toddler years though they retain some of their dragon features until they get a better control typically it in their teens though some will just say ��good enough’ and leave some dragon features out such as Neuvillette and his pointy ears.

They also don't have a fixed gender since Zhongli has mentioned he used to go out as a woman in the past so they can pick and choose any gender they want even if some will just pick one gender and may stay with it for their entire lives.

So Bigender Dragons.

I'll still do the twins thing of course it just ain't be with a boy or girl or at least not as babies.

Zhongli

Seeing the egg hatching and twin hatchlings coming out of the egg was a pretty big shock to him since Geo dragons typically aren't born with siblings much less as twins.

Would bring the twins to get checked by Madam Ping regularly since the Hatchlings would be much smaller than regular Geo-Dragon hatchlings and it makes him worried that they aren't as healthy as they should be.

Might dot on one child more than the other. He doesn't mean to but it's his instinct to do so as in regular geo-dragon families, the parents would feed and care for the stronger child with the best chance of survival than the other. If you point it out he realizes what he's doing and tries to correct this behavior.

Probably goes to Cloud Retainer regularly to get advice on how to raise the children. Results vary.

Neuvillette

Was pretty shocked about the twins being born but not as bad as Zhongli was due to Hydro dragons having more than a single egg birth.

Doesn't treat them any differently from the other children of his born from a single egg.

Okay, he does sort of, he lets Furina put matching ribbons and little top hats on the twins.

Expect for a lot of matching clothes for the twins in the future. They, the twins, will either love or hate it completely.

Merry Crick-crack, don’t have a Christmas illustration, so please accept a doodled pile of squishy, warm sparklings/hatchlings.

"The Future of House Targaryen" by @samartworksblog from my fanfiction "Truly The Mother of Dragons".

.

"The Targaryen babes wouldn't sleep without the hatchlings, it was immediately found out. They would cry for each other immediately, and so it was that no one would dare part them. Princess Rhaenyra would always sleep with her hands clasped around the wing thumbs of the hatchlings on either side of her - it would later be said she was impatient to ride a dragon from birth. She was noted to always sleep near the hatchling of brilliant silver with violet crests, wings, and horns that would be come to known as Daenyxes, The Silver Queen - named for her beloved mother, Queen Daenerys I Targaryen. Prince Aemon would always rest with his head upon the indigo and bronze hatchling named Nightweaver - their bond was evident from this alone but they would become the subject of one of the most beloved songs in all of Westeros, originally written and sung by his younger sister, Princess Daenys. The youngest of the triplets was a restless sleeper, often moving and crying in the night. She would seek comfort from the hatchlings around her and easily find it, most diligently by the violet and copper hatchling, Dreamflame - named for the she-dragon Dreamfyre of House Targaryen who had laid the eggs to one day hatch Rhaegal, Viserion, and Drogon. Dreamflame would often wrap herself around the whimpering babe, calming her back into a sound slumber.

Bloodwrath, as the red and gold hatchling would eventually come to be called, would wake at the slightest stir with suspicious hissing and spread his wings in defense if it proved to be a cat or mouse. Joraxes, the deep green and black hatchling named after Ser Jorah the Andal, would often sleep wrapped around the sky blue and pale silver, named Barrax after Ser Barristan Selmy. And the beautiful Soulfyre, with bronze scales that faded into gold wings and crests, and ethereal eyes the color of milk and honey, would often captivate the Targaryen babes with even his most minor movements, shining brilliantly even in the dark of the royal nursery at night. A grand royal painting was commissioned of the sleeping newborn prince and princesses with their hatchlings that would hang in the nursery of Dragonstone."
