I love reading your headcanons they're all so interesting! By any chance do you have any thoughts on a pregnant JC, through natural (trans or a/o/b for example) or unnatural means (tentacles or curses for example). He's a family man, so I like throwing family angst at him, twins would make him cry I think

Aw, thanks, I love headcanoning and coming up with little story ideas!

I have so many thoughts on pregnant JC-_-

What do you wish for? Omega!JC getting pregnant via one of the eligible bachelors? During the Sunshot, getting pregnant via NMJ, and suffering through carrying the kid so big he spends the last two months mostly laying on his side and cursing to the heavens?;) A mutual-hel deal with Lan Xichen that will result in one heir for each in a post-war world where omegas of high station are rare? An alcohol-fueled night with Wei Wuxian, that left him with a pup and heart full of regret? Pick your poison!

I always liked the omega to be a bit of a dick and not compliant with stereotypes - except they are, but only with the important ones. Like JC being an angry bitch most of the time, but also a good parent to Jin Ling, caring about his safety and happiness, but in his own frank way.

As a mom, he'd be talking to his newborn child as if it was an adult disciple that constantly fucks up ("Now what? Spitting the food out again? Marvelous, now you have wasted the meal and dirtied another outfit. I'll have you run rounds around the compound if you dare to do it again!") There's no baby-talking ("I'd break your legs if they weren't so short! Look at these toes, too damn short! What are you giggling about, huh? Spend that energy in learning how to talk!"). An outsider would think that Sect Leaders hates his pups, but anyone from Yunmeng knows this is their love language. He growls and snaps at the baby all day, but try to take it away from him and he'll bite hands off. The kid spends the first six months of its life strapped to his chest.

I like the idea of pregnant JC because of the suffering xD He has no time for this. Absolutely no time. He wants the child, but he hates being pregnant. Not even because of morning sickness or any pains - actually, his pregnancies are quite easy, his skin get a better and his hair is marvelous. Bit the limitations are a bitch!

Can't train, can't drink wine, can't night-hunt, can't lift, and in the end months, can't even get out of the bathtub without help-_- He's done. The the last two months he spends in the lake as much as possible - at least there he can still move with a degree of ease and grace. He hates his pregnancy robes (so undignified) and hates how big he gets (but if an aunties in the teashop reach to pat his stomach, he will let them without a word), what a drag!

What he doesn't realise is that pregnancy looks good on him - his hormones react well and he's glowing, his temperament evens out and he sleeps more, which only aids the previous two. His sect bursts with pride at having such beautiful Leader. I subscribe to the idea that the Jiang disciples are more like a pack of Wei Wuxians, so they become ridiculously protective and wanting to please, every single one desperate to touch the belly T_T They keep bringing more and more exotic and rare foodstuffs, keep achieving more and more risky deeds to get his attention and earn the honour of patting the stomach,

"Sect Leader, please try this dish! It's sweet and sour, it should satisfy your cravings!"

"Sect Leader, I have defeated a yao during the night hunt!"

"Sect Leader, Lan Wangji has been spotted on the border of Yunmeng! I will go and break his hand for you!"

"Are you fucking crazy?!"

Many disciples taste Zidian (but also many get to touch the tummy), because he shouldn't be dealing with this!

And god forbid Wei Wuxian learning about it! Jiang Cheng's stomach will be hijacked!

...hmm, I like the idea of the father being absent during the pregnancy (for whatever reason) and the sect smoothly steping in to bridge the gap. They make sure he's never alone, that things are taken care of. They know he doesn't like to be smothered or pitied, so they're as respectful as they can be (which is not terribly much but it's the intention that counts), but they show their care all the time. He can push and growl, but there's always a hand ready to help him stand up or get off the sword, always someone with food on stand-by, etc.

In an a/b/o scenario, the alpha disciples will rotate to spend time with their omega Leader - sit by his bed at night, emiting calming pheromones and providing gentle touches. JC's first alpha disciple will scent him every morning, to keep the pregnancy developing correctly. The sect aunties will tidy up his nest and make sure that his throne is laid out with soft fabrics and support pillows. The future baby belongs to the Sect and they will all chip in to bring it in safely. (Idea that Yunmeng Jiang is the only sect to be happy with an omega leader, because they stick to their motto. If the omega isn't mated, they'll just have an alpha first disciple and the balance will be achieved, no stress).

...

I have so many of these in my head XD Just throw ideas at me and I'll deliver ;)
