Polyphemus Styx is the worst demigod alive 😭 Hades & Medusa did not raise him like this.

This was before the cursed GCs changed him, Claude Frollo became a SAILOR after this they ruined him pfft.

I hate to bombard you with another ask but I need to get it out before I forget it.

Ok so you know how in old monarchies people used to crowd in and make a big deal about the queen giving birth, and how in medieval times there were all kinds of different garments and charms and superstitious practices around royal births?

What if there were a birth ritual wherein the prime mover must give birth in front of the entire church, especially the upper clergy members, and the papa(s) deliver the baby with the guidance of an esteemed abbey midwife? IMAGINE THE BOYS FIGHTING OVER WHO GETS TO ACTUALLY DELIVER THE BABY(s) AND WHO GETS TO CUT THE CHORD(s)!!

THIS IS GOING ON THE LIST OF AUs BECAUSE ITS FUCKING HILARIOUS TO ME.

JUST PICTURING THEM TRYING TO SHOVE THE OTHER OUT OF THE WAY LIKE NO I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO DO IT AND THEN BOOM ANOTHE BABY AND THE ONE WHO THOUGHT HE COULDN'T CUT THE CORD LOOKS VICTORIOUSLY AT THE OTHER ONE AND FLIPS HIM OFF.

also that would make me want to die, like giving birth isn't gross enough. to have a whole ass clergy and sibling population just fucking WATCHING ME?? a pox upon your house fr

I don’t need your criticism

I don’t need your criticism, Right now, I spent 3 months of my year, Glaring out of a window, With bars across, Staring at the cars in the car park, Crisscross out of there, Whilst I was trapped, Stuck, Next to my babies hooked up to wires, Frantic knocking on nights to make me get up and feed, I could scream, I almost screamed, What sort of fucked up game was that, I was stuck on a…

Pregnancy Rox: The Finale

dad simon doing skin to skin with his premie baby girl because shes in the nicu ☹️

:c he’d be so so scared to hold his little babe !!

tw: mentions of childbirth and preterm labor, fem!reader

but ok like i genuinely think if simon decided to have kids with someone it would be when they are both ‘older’ (and i say that term loosely bc im thinking they’d both be in late 30’s early 40’s) but because of that when getting pregnant there are more complications that could happen. simon would be so careful with you, and your pregnancy.

making sure to take a leave so he can be there for every single appointment and just care for you because above all else he needs you to be healthy.

so when you do go into preterm labor he’s a mess. but he’s pulled himself together enough to get you to the hospital and thankfully once you were admitted everything went smoothly. but it doesn’t stop that ache and fear of now having his baby girl out in the world.

he was so happy, you were both healthy, for the most part, little riley just needs a few weeks to be able to come home.

now came the really scary part. he already knew his baby was gonna seem like the smallest thing in the world, but now? he was scared one wrong move would break one of her weak little bones.

you’re so exhausted as you waddle your way to the nicu, but the second your eyes land on your little girl everything else fades away. and simon wishes he could feel that relief but he’s so fucking terrified.

his eyes are raw from not crying, throat feeling like they shoved sandpaper down it as he sees his girls in front of him, safe.

and before he can try to gently back out of it, the nurse is encouraging skin to skin contact, and you just look so so tired, that he can’t say no. his fingers trembling and feeling uncoordinated as the nurse places his baby on his bare chest.

his little girl instantly falling back asleep and one of his hands is gently resting on her back. he’s biting down on some of his fingers to hold back the sob that had been stuck in his throat for the past 24 hours.

and then you’re both crying, and he’s holding the two of you and he knows he’d do anything to keep this forever.

Lmaooooo she said pray I stay pregnant for at least the next 2 1/2 weeks and make sure to have a hospital bag packed.. I am gagged

Appt today.. hopefully it goes well 🫣

[crownedinmarigolds]

Another sad thing for Anya is that even if there was no crash, she's still so terribly off. There is barely enough medical supply for one severely injured person. There is no way there's enough supply for someone who is pregnant, someone who will need surgery.... no equipment for a baby in case it needs to be in a NICU unit. Best case scenario is that she delivers her baby by herself, cut the cord herself, etc. Not impossible of course but that is so hard even if she and the child are totally healthy. Lord forbid she gets too sick to care for herself, or if the baby needs to be a c-section! Anya even without the crash was doomed ugh my girl....

[soundlessdragon]

Baby girl is here 🩷 Things are better than they could be but not perfect. I am stuck in recovery from the c-section while she is too far away in a NICU at another hospital. I have only spent one hour with her since she was delivered over 24 hours ago, and am struggling to produce any milk (so far nothing I can give to her, just a few tiny drops of colostrum that not even the little syringe can gather). Hopefully tomorrow I will get discharged and go be with her again. She is stable but tiny and having apnea episodes that are possibly seizure-induced.
