I wanted practice drawing clothes and had my friend send me a random outfit. He chose this.
The halo made me think of Alcor, and I didn’t want to spend too long on the face so this happened. Now I really like the idea of Alcor going to some fancy Gala with a face that looks like this.
ok yall I’m determined to post more doodles/sketches/rkgk that I forget about cause.. thats literally… why I joined tumblr lol
How did you know there may have been some random vent fic stewing in me for awhile? Under a cut in case pregnancy stuff squicks you out
I severely underestimated how Lorg you get with one baby, let alone three baby. Mabel would probably not be up and about very much that last month, because I’m having trouble moving and grooving at month 9 as it is and I’ve had a very smooth and uneventful pregnancy.
I think I wrote a fic where she’s walking in the forest at 9 months? LOLLLLLL.
I’m walking to work still at 9 months but it’s Definite Effort, and it only works because I’m walking downhill. I haven’t been able to comfortably do hills or stairs since 7 months.
Another thing about carrying triplets; while they want you to go as long as possible (IE the full 40 weeks), Mabel would probably have had the kids around week 37, because at some point they become so big that there is REALLY LITERALLY no room for them.
To wit: I’m week 37 right now. My baby is about 6.5 pounds… but then there’s the placenta, which is about 7 pounds. And all the amniotic fluid, which takes up another few pounds. Like all in all a single baby by 40 weeks, with accessories, is about 25-30 pounds of baby and stuff.
now times that by 3
yup I had Mabel go into birth naturally, she would have probably had a scheduled c-section; you can try and push multiples out manually (especially with twins) but often times they’ll just take you straight to c-section
The other thing about Mabel’s water breaking? Yeah almost no one has their water break at home.
it’s like 10% of people. No shit. The movies lied to you
Your water usually breaks when you’re at the hospital. Often times because they break it for you.
I think I wrote that Mabel was starting to show at 5 months? Lol no she would have been showing earlier than that
because she had fucking triplets
seriously wtf was i thinking
FWIW I didn’t show until almost 6 months… but it also really depends on body type, size of baby, how your uterus sits in your body, etc
Mabel sticks to herbal tea only because of The Caffeine but tbh some caffeine is fine
I still drink coffee. Please don’t tell on me
OH WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR CAFFEINE FREE HERBAL TEA is how many herbs pregnant women should avoid
i threw out all my tea in my first trimester, tried to replace it with herbal, and went back to drinking black tea in trimester two because so many herbs in caffeine free tea are not recommended for preggos.
What I was right about: babies, especially the bigger they get, will react to your touch
mainly when said touch consists of you having to literally push them to another part of your stomach
or, like my kid likes to do, stop kicking when anyone else but me feels her. Daddy loves that.
Other things I would have included
that you basically have uncontrollable burping non-stop the 4th month on
you really don’t eat like a trash panda the entire time. No, you’ll go through phases of eating like a normal human, and eating like a trash panda.
sleeping on ONLY your side, even if you’re a side sleeper, gets really old, really quick.
also it gets hard to cuddle with your partner at some point, because you will be wrapped around the only thing that lets you comfortably sleep: a massive body pillow
Mabel would probably start out making clothes for the kids because She’s Mabel, but would stop at some point because EVERYONE gets you clothes
everyone
e v e r y o n e
same with blankets; she had barely started making one, before she got 25 in.
Mark and Anna, however strained their relationship is, would probably come up to GF for a few weeks after the babies are born.
i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave”
at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it
