#like a disease and kinda breaks down the body until the mom/the baby gain balance in a way

Honestly I saw it as he just shapeshifted into a more female body and got pregnant like that, I wouldn't be shocked if both wukong and macaque can shift into different genders or beings 🤔

See that’s another version I’ve seen people do, and it’s cool but it wouldn’t work in this au at least by how I’ve described the process of birth/procreation

First major problem would be the shapeshifter having to keep their womb even after bombayayaing cause if they don’t I’d consider that as cancelling the subscription y’know, canceling the free trial after you finished the one movie, you don’t have access to anything after the trial

So while they could start the procreation through shapeshifting they’d have to keep that up the whole time

Which is where the next problem is: the pregnancy takes a lot and I mean A LOT of power/magic from the user, since the baby is using it all up concentrating on forming their own magical presence, the whole time the pregnant person is losing bits of their magic and often can’t concentrate on their main powers up until the end, Sunset!Mac lost most of his magic at least half way through, and his glamour and shifting ability kept flickering at the very beginning up until it was too much keeping them up.

So even if the process was started, the person shapeshifting wouldn’t be able to hold onto their shifted form for long after, once again cancelling their subscription plan because they didn’t pay their wifi and couldn’t consistently access the application

Could the partner share their magic just like they do after the birth? I mean possibly but that’s like using your neighbors wifi, you don’t know when it’ll lock you out and getting so much magic from someone else probably isn’t very good for your body in the long run🤔

So the shapeshifting route really wouldn’t work in this au😔
