Pomni & Ragatha

💛 Pomni

——————

Regressor (65%)

Sibby (35%)

————————

Regressed age range: 0-4

Very sweet and shy when regressed

Also very sensitive like Gangle

Regresses because of Caine and his wacky adventures (starts after episode 3)

Ragatha is her main caregiver, but Kinger and/or Zooble step in whenever she’s busy.

Pomni is always on her best behavior. She doesn’t want to upset anyone or feel like a burden. She does have her slip-ups, but Ragatha is there to help her learn right from wrong in a calm manner.

Pomni apologizes a lot, even when it’s not her fault or for minor stuff.

She finds the bright colors and patterns around her very overstimulating when she’s small.

She doesn’t really like toys that flash lights and make too much noise. She prefers quiet toys like stuffies and fidget toys.

She also likes low-stimulating shows, such as Sarah & Duck, Tumble Leaf, and Puffin Rock.

She sleeps in Ragatha’s room whenever she regresses. She has a bedside crib next to Ragatha’s bed.

Pomni has her own sensory space to help her calm down. She also goes to Kinger’s pillow fort if she wants to.

She prefers to wear hoodies, sweatshirts, and pajama pants alongside onesies. She also likes to wear footed sleepers and sleepsacks.

At first, Pomni felt worried whenever she was passed down to Kinger or Zooble and Ragatha needed to take a break. However, the little jester was comforted when her CG said that she didn’t do anything to make her upset, and that even grown-ups need twenty minutes to themselves /ref (Bluey’s “Sheepdog”).

Pomni likes to have playdates with Gangle.

🩵 Ragatha

———————

Flip

Caregiver/Guardian (50%)

Babysitter (33%)

Regressor/Sibby (17%)

———————

Caregiver/Guardian/Babysitter

Ragatha is authoritative. She believes in empathizing with big feelings while setting fair boundaries. She also reasonably explains to whoever she’s caring for why they need to do something (e.g., “Brush your teeth so they can be healthy” or “Take a nap so you can have more energy for the rest of the day”).

She crouches down to a little’s level and uses the most gentle voice on the planet when talking to them, especially when they’re feeling sad or afraid. Her voice is more firm when it comes to discipline (timeouts and privilege removal). She also believes in natural consequences (e.g., Shoes get wet when stepping in rainy puddles if you don’t wear rain boots or have to help clean up the mess if you track mud on the floor or draw on the walls).

Ragatha gives the best hugs (if the regressor she is looking after wants them, of course).

She always comes prepared with a diaper bag for each regressor she looks after (Pomni - light blue and yellow, Gangle - red, Jax - purple, Zooble - pink and turquoise).

She is a really good sewer. She sews up anything that has holes or rips on them, from stuffies to blankies to clothes.

Ragatha made Pomni’s bedside crib incredibly cozy, filled to the brim with fluffy fleece blankets, cool (temperature-wise) pillows, and some Jellycats and Slumberkins. There is also a soft nightlight attached to the crib rails.

————

Regressor

Regressed age range: 3-9

Ragatha doesn’t regress too much because she sees herself more as a mother figure to everyone around her. However, she doesn’t see it as a bad thing. She just wants everyone around her to be taken care of and loved.

When Ragatha does regress, however, she is a total sweetheart. She likes helping people out. She is also a big sister to Pomni. She does, however, find it hard to stand up for herself and use her big girl voice (think Bingo in Bluey’s “Yoga Ball” and “Hairdressers/Nits”).

She also struggles with learning how to relax whenever she needs a break (like Chilli in Bluey’s “Relax”).

Kinger is her caregiver, and Zooble is her babysitter.

Ragatha likes to collect dolls and stuffies. She also loves Littlest Pet Shop. She is very careful and keeps her toys in good condition.

Ragatha is a good sharer. She’ll share her toys as long as her friends play with them in a gentle manner.

She LOVES Jellycats and Slumberkins! One of her favorite shows is the latter.

Her favorite shows are also Blue’s Clues, Kipper, Bear and the Big Blue House, Sesame Street, Lalaloopsy, Rupert, Wild Manes, My Little Pony, and Bluey.

She also loves horses! She has a bunch of horse-themed regression gear and horse toys (Credit to @raspberry-bakery for the headcanon on Ragatha having a horse plushie).

She loves tea and angel milk.

She loves anything pastel-colored, from pastel furniture to pastel toys.

Ragatha has a knack for arts and crafts. She loves doing collage/mixed media art.

YIPPE

Edit: I changed a bit the post hcs bc I liked more and I think it's more fitting :3

I hope the creator doesn't see this

[cams-cozy-corner]

Ragatha board <33

[subwayfloorlicker1978]

is it just me or is there an extremely alarming lack of ragatha in the new tadc teaser. like she isn’t shown or mentioned AT ALL. i would be less suspicious if this wasn’t a super main character (like gangle) but…. hmm

[hannasaurrex]

The middle finger gang

they love flipping you off~ ( but not ragatha )

[tadc-harlequin-au]

Oh? What's this? Seems to be an AU crossover with The Monster Labs, by @etanow!

Now, sometimes I like to pretend that this AU is a playable game.

And what does a playable game have? LORE Limited time SKINS!

Endowed with the powers of a minor god, Caine's already outrageous ideas seems to stretch far, far, FAR beyond the horizon now.

It also seems that the Puppetmaster's become a little bit more of a cuckoo than his usual self; cackling like a mad scientist about to bring about either the next revolutionary discovery, or a massive city-wide explosion.

... Why is he giving Pomni so many flowers??

Tsk, tsk, tsk Pomni. You would think that the pain from battles would make one learn, but nope. Not this Harlequin.

Especially when it seems like she's speedrunning flipping the bird off of Death's face as many times as possible to show 'em who's boss. Now she's UNdead!

Good thing she doesn't eat robot brains too. I-I hope...

She's electric! Literally!

Ragatha's gotten quite the new look, and some new tricks at that too. The Artifact Collector herself seems to be more open to going outside all of a sudden; when she tended to be a recluse prior to the change.

Wonder if she's also more open to hugs that don't shock you?

A one of a kind special boss skin! Only available under specific circumstances. His attacks don't change nor add something new, it's just a cosmetic skin for The Mischievous Trickster Automaton fight. lmao

Special thanks to Audi/Eta for letting me do this! I kinda wanna do more AU crossovers when I can because this was very fun, so I may reach out to other AUs I really like :)

For now, I rest my bones........ I have done my job :3c

[nightthinker-08]

Messy design sketch dump for an AU that's been bouncing around my head for a couple of days now. Everything is basically the same except instead of adventures, they do actual circus performances, but it's every month, not every day. Though they do have practice time every day, which Caine supervises. He also assigns each member what their act is going to be, but everyone has their specialties tho  More below xP

Each player's specialties are: 

Ragatha: Trapeze Pomni: Jester (duh) Jax: Stilt Walker Gangle: Contortionist (or ribbon dancer? idk if thats a circus act-) Kinger Magician  Zooble: Plate Spinner Cain: Ringmaster/Lion tamer (he likes to perform too)

Most of them know more than their specialties cuz Caine likes to pair or group them up sometime. Like somtimes Ragatha or Jax pair up with kinger ( Jax mostly helps with his escape tricks) Rag's is also a bit of a jack of all trades cuz she likes helping out, but also cuz Cain likes to throw in twists in their acts mid-performance.

When Pomni first shows up in the middle of the final performance, which was Ragatha's, so she spawns high up on a tightrope. Ragatha (and everyone else) spots her while she does all these arial flips. In her panic, Pomni slips, but Rag's catches her and tries to calm her down mid-performance while also trying to make sure the two of them don't fall lol

[the-s1lly-corner]

Love that you opened requests for TADC!

Could you please do a scenario where Jax pulls a prank on the reader and locks them in a closet, but he has no idea that they have claustrophobia? They end up being found by someone else later, and Jax ends up feeling really bad about it?

(honestly love me some hurt/comfort)

Thank You!

Aftermath of a Prank (Jax x reader w/ claustrophobia)

wasn't sure what to name this since "jax traps you in a closet and feels bad" doesn't roll off the tongue that well LMAO i hope you enjoy this! imma admit, usually when it comes to writing for new characters i read up on others interpretations of them to get a decent handle of them + the canon stuff but i think im gonna wing it this time

It's not often that Jax genuinely apologizes to someone for something he did. often time he will give a huff and a half hearted sorry, or try to play the entire thing off... but there was something different about the current situation at hand

You see, Jax thought it would be funny to get you stuck in a closet, for one reason or another to push some joke he had in mind. What he did not have in mind, however, was the possibility that you were afraid of tight spaces.

Afraid you were, even more so because the closet was dark as well.

Jax was already long gone, claiming that he was going to run off to do something before departing. You asked him to let you out, thinking that he had simply pretended to leave.

But he truly had.

Discomfort turns into fear. Unsure calls for help turn into yells, which turn into you attempting to punch and kick the door open. Your eyes burned with hot tears.

You couldn't have been in there for more than ten minutes before Gangle opened the door, nearly catching your fist to her mask. It likely would have broken and revealed her tears, had her comedy mask not already been broken. She only squeaks in surprise, too stunned to move out of the way but thankfully you were able to reel yourself back in at the last second.

You muttered a quick apology before pulling yourself from the tight space, trying to steady the wobble in your steps. You and Gangle did not exchange any words, with you making your way to your room.

Word gets out. Gangle tells Kinger what happened. Kinger tells Pomni. Pomni tells Ragatha. Zooble finds out, but they don't care enough to gossip around. Before long Ragatha is telling Jax about it, with her own hunch that the rabbit was the one to blame.

Could you blame her? Jax has a bit of a track record...

Point is, Jax eventually finds out how scared you were through the grapevine and for once he actually feels bad about something. Annoying and spooking someone is one thing, but to instill genuine terror was another thing.

He wants to apologize, but it's such a foreign thing that he keeps putting it off. Days pass, with you now avoiding him, which only make him feel worse.

After another day of you only giving him dry responses he ends up cornering you, finally having enough of the guilt eating him up

Apparently not learning his lesson the first time but I digress

"Look," He said, square pupils fixed on you.

A sigh

"I'm sorry, okay? I didn't think you'd flip,"

Not perfect, but it's a start.

"If I knew I wouldn't have, I swear," he added when he was met with silence. From seemingly out of no where, he pulls something out

An object you like, be it a flower a book or something else that he found lying around the circus

You took it, observing, then looked back up at him. He did look remorseful, even if he didn't really say it.

That would have to do, that's the best you're going to get from him. Baby steps

From that day forward, you notice that Jax lightens up around you, pranking you less and generally being a little less annoying when it comes to you

[cocoacowsippycup]

wut are the tadc characters that you headcanon as age regressors age ranges? :D

HI! My headcanons have changed a bit so here’s all of them currently!

I’ll go from left to right!

🎪Pomni: Regressor! Normally in the 2-5 age range, super sweet and normally nonverbal or babbles. She loves to watch cartoons or play with sensory items like rattles or crinkly plushies. She loves to help out the CGs with chores and cooking, but usually they give her the easy tasks like putting veggies in the pot or picking up the toys around the circus so she doesn’t get hurt.

🎀Ragatha: Caregiver! She is normally Pomni’s CG but will assist with other littles if need be! She’s a fun mama but stern with rules. She usually it the one to make sure when someone regresses that they’re fed, drink water, bathe, brush their teeth and get to bed at bedtime. While they don’t need to do any of this in the Digital Circus it helps calm distressed kiddos with a familiar routine.

🎳Jax: Regressor/Big Brother! He goes anywhere from 4-10 and is super bratty, but he will help out with the smaller kiddos if he feels like it. (He’s also a sleep regressor and usually is 2-5 when he’s tired, that’s when he becomes a little angel) He says he won’t help any of the CGs with fussy Kiddos when he’s big but sometimes for no reason the kiddos will suddenly have a lollipop or a refilled bottle of juice when no one is looking 🤫

🎉Zooble: Babysitter! They will bounce around littles depending on who needs the most attention and care, usually ends up with her either wrestling something dangerous out of Jax’s hands or comforting one of the kids when they’re sad. They’re very good at that. Zooble likes to set up and play games with the kids and give out small rewards when they win and is very much the “cool older sister” to them.

♟️Kinger: Flip (CG leaning/trauma regressor)! Anywhere from 0-4, he mostly spends his time in his pillow fort when small and spends a lot of time either crying or learning about and drawing bugs!. He needs a lot of attention when small and has abandonment issues ( Queenie used to be his caregiver :[ ) When he’s big though he’s Gangles main caregiver! He is a very kooky CG and always knows how to make Gangle giggle.

🎭Gangle: Flip (Reg leaning)! She usually is 2-6 years old and is a huge crybaby, but not in a bad way. Shes definitely super shy and would prefer to play with her stuffies rather than the other regressors. When she’s big she usually bounces around all the Regressors and takes care of them when they’re not feeling well. She has a kind of delicate touch that none of the other CGs have and is the best at lulling the kiddos to sleep with a bottle, soft lullaby, and lots of pets.

Lots of word jargon but I love all of them so much, thanks for letting me talk about them 💕🌈

[sm-baby]

It’d be really fucking funny if Pomni was supposed to be the final boss of the game but nobody ever finished her code, like didn’t flip the final switch that would’ve caused the boss battle to activate when all the other characters have been beaten, and so when Caine is going through her code tryna fix stuff he just finds out and just slowly closes the code and pretends to not have seen it. Just mumbles something about her having a weirdly high amount of health points and just chooses not to perceive.

I READ THE FIRST SENTENCE AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED GIGGLING THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN IM SOOOO SORRY POMNI IM SOOO SORRY HAHAHAHAHAHAH GIRL IS FUCKED BY LIFE IN EVERY WHICH WAY PLEEAASEE

I love how y'all completely NAILED the sort of humor and dynamic Pomni has with everyone... she is so girlfail.... she's so pathetic wet cat... unlucky... I'm so proud of yall

THIS IS SO LIKE.. SEMI CANON... LOWKEY CANON BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO FUNNY TO ME.. ALSO CUZ:

You'd think RAGATHA would be first boss, considering preparing food and serving it is much lighter work than performing circus acts! So having her actually planned to be first is quite smart!

POMNI HAVING A LOT OF HEALTH IS SO FUCKING FUNNY- SHE DOESN'T DIE EASY CUZ SHE'S THE FINAL BOSS- POEPLE JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS DURABLE- HELPPP HELPP I LOVE THAT SO MUCH HAHAHAHA

it's a Carnival! Ofcourse the final boss would be a literal clown! :3

peheheh.. giggling at the image of Caine seeing Pomni's health bar and it just

Pomni: Whats wrong? :0

More Manipulative Ragatha.

ACK-

This was meant to be ~500 words and one part of a short story that went into detail of Ragatha doing different things on different days to push Pomni's boundaries, get her closer, etc. And was inspired by yesterday's ask about Ragatha intentionally throwing herself into harm's way to get hurt and get Pomni's attention.

Instead it ballooned up into a little over 2000 words and will be something of a standalone.

I would like to give my thanks and dedicate this to @miguxadraws whose enthusiasm helped push me to hit the ground running with this one!

With that said: small TW for needles (the sewing kind), and I hope you all enjoy..!

“I’m never sure how to start these things…”

I muse to myself as I tap the colorful pencil’s eraser against the empty, waiting page of my journal. Being the second longest lasting person in The Digital Circus changes how you think about information. Unlike Kinger, for example, I’m doing my best to not go insane by holding on to every piece of information until my mind snaps and I become amnesic. That means writing things down. Journal writing and compartmentalizing things. Separating the bad from the good and keeping the good close and the bad locked away.

“I suppose starting with this morning wouldn’t be a bad idea.” I flip the pencil around and begin jotting down what all happened…

Pomni woke up on me today. I didn’t bother with sleeping. Instead I just enjoyed watching her quietly snore throughout the night. God, she’s so cute when she’s asleep. She’s even more cute when she’s startled. She woke up, adorably mumbling about whatever dream she was having (I heard my name!!!), and stared up at me for a few moments. I didn’t say anything because she was clearly still out of it and wouldn’t have understood me anyway. When she realized she was using me as a full body pillow she let out wildest little yipe I’ve ever heard. She nearly hit the ceiling from jumping off of me so hard! It took a hot moment and a re-heated, leftover salmon cake to calm her down after that. I let her get dressed in peace (thank you again, God, for giving me a button eye to stealth watch with) and she left with a sweet little smile on her face.

I pause writing for a moment when I hear someone trying to stay quiet while working on something outside my door. Probably Jax. Probably with a bucket of insects and some kind of mechanical trap setup. I shake my head irritably but stay quiet. Jax would have been a lovely boy toy to keep if not for the fact he can’t stop being a punk for more than ten seconds. My single regret with him is that he only had one heart to break. The sound of his trap construction jolts me back to writing by jogging my memory.

The adventure!

How could I have nearly forgotten that when it was a huge amount of progress with Pomni?

Caine rounded us all up just like he does basically every other day.

“HELLO MY MUTANT MASHED POTATOES TODAY’S ADVENTURE BLAH BLAH BLAH-”

It was some kind of movie-like, ancient temple we had to find the treasure room of. The important part was Pomni and I took the ‘medium’ difficulty route, and we did it by ourselves. I was just about to see how well she dealt with an unprompted hand on her shoulder when I realized I had seen the hallway we were in before on a different adventure. Caine doesn’t just re-use NPCs, he re-uses chunks of levels sometimes. And I knew we were about 15 steps away from a circular saw trap that would shoot out from the wall and try to leave us with a nasty cut, to put it lightly.

My first instinct was to let Pomni walk into it. I thought it’d probably go right through her leg, maybe even both of them. I’d have to carry her all the way to the end and she’d have no choice BUT let me hold her. My better judgment got a hold of me, though. That was an awful plan. She’d hate being useless and dependent on me (at the moment, anyway). But I could still use the trap to my advantage to make her touch me…

I suddenly remembered why I nearly forgot the whole thing. Ever feel so much pain your body and brain try to factory reset?

“Hey, I think I’ve seen this hallway before.” I told her as I switched the side of her I was walking on. I picked up my pace slightly to make sure I triggered the saw without catching her as collateral. I braced myself as hard as I could without letting on something was up. A small part of me was begging to just not do this, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.

“Really?”

“Yeah! From a different adventure!”

And I think she was going to ask if I remembered anything helpful about it. That’s about when a single stone beneath my foot pressed down and I let out probably the longest running censor-bleep in Digital Circus history. The saw was as quick as lightning. My left arm, right above my elbow, was effortlessly sliced off, and the blade tore through my side like I was made of paper. I screamed and fell away from the blade. I landed against the wall opposite of it and started sliding down to the floor. Good God it hurt so bad I was seeing stars. Pomni shrieked and rushed over to me, hovering over me like she’d found a murdered body in an alleyway. I was in too much pain to get her to stop screaming for a moment so I could tell her what to do, and then she said that she would go get help.

That lit quite the fire under me, because:

1. I needed to get her used to touching me by getting her to patch me up, and, perhaps more importantly-

2. I’M TIRED OF HER RUNNING OFF WHEN I AM IN INCREDIBLE PAIN.

I have to say, despite the pain I was in, I was pretty slick with my next words.

Any person scared and hurt might say ‘don’t leave me,’ but if I left it at that, she might have just offered me a platitude about being back as soon as she could be. I had to twist the knife. She managed a single step away before I lunged at her foot and seized her ankle. I didn’t need to pretend to cry, as there were plenty of real, agonized tears.

“Please don’t leave me again!”

The ‘again’ sold it like beer at a college ball game. Oh, it hurt to see so much remorse in her eyes but it’ll make her think twice before running off again in the future. She dropped to her knees next to me and sputtered a dozen apologies before going quiet when I placed my hand on her upper leg to get her attention.

I remember gritting my teeth and having to hiss through the pain to direct her to my dress pocket (conveniently on the same side I was missing an arm on, and oh my how those little hands wander in a pocket) where I had my emergency sewing kit. Ugh. I could have died from cute-overload while watching her fumble so shakily while trying to thread that needle. When she finally managed it she looked at me with huge, worried eyes for guidance on what to do next.

I pause again to enjoy the memory of her looking at me that way. It’s almost dreamy to picture her like that. So nervously hanging off my every word… I could REALLY get used to that. Where was I? Oh, right, my little jester doing doll surgery on my side.

Feeling her touching me gently was so, so nice. And she listens so well. I bet if I told her that the stitching would only hold if she barked like a puppy, she might have actually done it. I’m so used to sewing myself up that the little pricks of the needle barely registered to me, so I up-sold the pain they caused. Clenching my teeth and (remaining) fist, and scrunching my eyes while hiccuping every few seconds as if I were holding back a breakdown. She paused once and held my cheek, and told me if I needed a break she would stop. AGH. I could have eaten her alive on the spot for being so sweet! Instead I sighed, enjoyed the touch, and thanked her but said I was okay...

I love Pomni to bits but she sews like a blind grandmother with arthritis. No cut like that is ever good or easy to work with, but even Gangle manages a cleaner stitch on a bad day. Still, that meant we got to spend the rest of the adventure like that. Her pressed up against my side, trying her best to hold as steady as possible, while keeping my stuffing from falling out as she stitches me back shut. Definitely worth every ounce of pain. When she was done she even crawled over to my arm and offered to try putting it back on. Absolutely precious.

I told her not to worry about the arm. Caine could fix it when we get back, and about when I said that our AI Overlord’s voice rang clear throughout the structure. Caine congratulated Gangle and Kinger for reaching the treasure room first, and declared the adventure over. Pomni and I fell through a portal that suddenly opened beneath us, and just like that we were back in the tent.

Caine looked me over and quipped I had gotten “too adventurous for my own good,” before snapping his fingers and fixing my arm. He then said something about seashells and vanished. The others were already heading their separate ways when I walked over to Pomni and hugged her. She jumped slightly, but didn’t pull away. I thanked her as warmly as I could for staying with me, and I saw on her face that same guilt from earlier being soothed slightly. It wasn’t enough to put her at peace, but enough so she knows I will happily praise her for doing something good.

I let her go and I offered her another meal tonight – if she was feeling up to it, that is. I could see her putting real thought into it-

My writing is once again interrupted by a dainty knock at the door.

“Ragatha? I’m here for dinner, but-” I quickly slam my journal shut and hide it away again. The last thing Pomni needs to see is the contents of that book. I hop up from my chair with a spring in my step and grab the doorknob, only for Pomni to suddenly shout.

“D-don’t open the door yet! There’s a bucket full of something on the door frame. It’s attached to some kind of trigger. Kinger’s getting it down now.”

I hear Kinger scraping something metallic away from the door before the man himself speaks up.

“Oh! That’s where you’ve all been. How do my centipedes keep winding up in buckets..?”

I had clean forgotten Jax trapped the door. The thought of being stuck with a bucket on my head as all of Kinger’s little hellspawns crawl over my face is almost enough to make me throw up, pass out, and start writing a manifesto. All at the same time. Did I say earlier I only have one regret about Jax? I have two. And the second is that I can’t drown him in the cellar.

“Okay! It’s safe now!”

Cautiously I crack open the door. My eyes are drawn to the movement of Kinger walking down the hallway with a bucket full of nightmares in his arms, but I quickly focus back on to Pomni. I let out a low, tired sigh and smile at her.

“You saved me twice in one day.” I try not to swoon, but it still kind of comes out that way. The little blush she starts sporting on her face doesn’t help.

“Ah- don’t worry about it.”

God she’s so cute when she’s bashful. I open the door and step aside to welcome her in with a playful flourish.

“Well, come on in! A hero deserves her heroic feast! I’ll get on it right away.”

“A heroic feast of spaghetti and meatballs?” She laughs, the sound as sweet as wine, as she enters and steps passed me. I laugh back with her as I start to shut the door so we can start another night off right.

“And garlic bread, that’s the really heroic part!”

Bunnydoll Headcanons - Jax and Ragatha as parents

Because I want to, and because I want an excuse to write some sugary sweet ideas. 🩵

Both are shocked when Ragatha finds out she’s pregnant. Obviously they didn’t think it was possible, so it takes them a while to come to terms with it. Even Caine has no idea how it happened.

Jax is in major denial at first. He truly doesn’t believe it’s happening until Ragatha starts showing, around three months in. Then it’s like some sort of switch in him flips. He becomes ten times more possessive and protective of her, to the point where he doesn’t want her to leave their room for fear of something happening to her and their babies (yes there are three of them, but they don’t know it yet).

Ragatha argues with Jax constantly about what she can do. He wants her to stay in their room and rest, she wants to be able to move around and do things normally.

Jax almost gets into a fist fight with Caine (aka he tries to beat him up) unless Caine promises to let Ragatha skip their daily adventures. They settle on only having her get involved in the easier ones, or ones that require the least danger or effort.

Ragatha sews lots of little outfits, hats, and mittens in preparation.

Jax literally turns their room into a little burrow. He goes into bunny mode and starts nesting, making the space as warm and comfortable as possible. When Ragatha points this out to him, he tries to deny it to no avail. Ragatha thinks it’s the cutest thing he’s ever done.

Ragatha can’t go anywhere without Jax being an arm’s reach away. This is especially irritating to Zooble, Pomni and Gangle when they want to spend time with Ragatha alone. Ragatha then has to have a talk with Jax about personal space and remind him that she’ll be fine if he’s not around her 24/7.

Jax holds her so tightly while they sleep, Ragatha can barely move, but she still adores it. He later admits to her that he has trouble sleeping because he’s plagued with thoughts of something happening to her or their babies. He finally admits to her that for once, he feels like he’s done something he can be proud of and he doesn’t want to screw it up or have anything threaten that. She does her best to calm him down with soothing words and plenty of kisses.

When the babies are finally born, there are three of them. Both Ragatha and Jax are in shock. Jax is terrified (now they’re outnumbered) and Ragatha is ecstatic (more to love).

They have one boy (purple) and two girls (copper red). Just born they are more rabbit like, and as they grow they adapt more of Ragatha’s human/doll features as well.

Jax is nervous at first and hesitant to hold them. But once he does, it’s all over for him. They have him wrapped around their tiny fingers and they’re not even a day old yet.

After their babies are born, Ragatha can’t help but notice that the way Jax looks at her has changed slightly. He constantly stares at her like she’s the most amazing person in the world.

Any time anyone else holds one of their babies Jax hovers and is practically breathing down their neck the entire time. Ragatha has to calm him down and remind him that it’s OK if someone else holds the babies and nothing will happen to them.

Gangle and Pomni can’t get enough of the babies. They’re constantly offering to hold them or babysit so Ragatha and Jax can have a break. (Jax tries to refuse them but Ragatha talks him down, again.) Zooble promises that they’ll be more involved when the babies are a bit older, since newborns aren’t really their thing.

Caine surprisingly gives Ragatha and Jax a nice break from the adventures so they can tend to their babies.

Anytime Bubble comes within ten feet of them, Jax pops him.

After Ragatha, their three babies are the only ones who cause Jax to become soft, and he’s okay with that.

Thanks for reading my silliness! I had fun coming up with these.
