#me growing up with autism when asked 'if you could've been born anytime what would you pick':

[raayllum]

what makes you HC that Rayla was a premature baby? /Gen

It's always been a headcanon I've enjoyed for her given the emphasis Moonshadow culture puts on strength vs weakness and how it can interplay with that (something I also sometimes headcanon for Callum to be juxtaposed by him being like, a very powerful mage when he grows up lol) but both of those are 90% because I was a Very Premature baby (like almost died / was in the hospital for a hot second level lmao) and there are almost never premature babies in anything despite the fact it can... Really effect you and your family even beyond the like, heightened mortal salience, so it's a small thing I always like to see more canon rep for.
