Whoops guys :|

Re: + Q&A +

[sadfreezingbrit]

So how old are our darling paradox babies?

[brainkegger]

Tara is good with babies, but her Buck and T aren't great. She might ask for someone to help out with bb!Tara if one of those two take over. (Alice is overbearing but capable, assuming she doesn't get stressed out and nip some gin.)

John has sort of dealt with this before, but being an only child he doesn't really know any of the basic stuff. He'll be protective, of course. He might suggest that all the homestuck kids gather their baby selves together and, you know. Figure it out together.

Beiste never really thought she'd have a kid, so she isn't sure how to handle it. She's not opposed to looking up tutorials and shit, however, so she will probably at least THINK she's an expert by the end of this.

George had a younger sister but she hated her. So. Babies aren't her favorite. She'll be freaking out and hoping that she can just keep the thing in a bassinet and that'll be okay. Buuut, it won't be. She'll start getting super super clingy to people thanks to being neglected as a baby. Which will either lead to her A) paying more attention to bb!George or B) more ignoring of bb!George.

[endlessbeato]

Oh boy, this is going to be hella interesting.

Aang is going to have his hands full dealing with his baby-self and has absolutely no clue on how to care for children. He'll probably ask some of the older girls of Wonderland for assistance.

Kenny is probably going to have to spend all his time trying to keep baby!Kenny from eating and drinking things he shouldn't, as well as keeping him from getting killed (and we all know how much death likes Kenny, so this will be a hell of a chore).

Beato is going to be pampering the living shit out of her baby-self. She'll be willing to help others with their babies, if they ask nicely. Maybe she can open up a mini-daycare? Her goat familiars could help watch over the little ones if people need a break from the screaming and crying.

[cautious_knight]

Not a girl, but Aang could ask Liet...

[learnedsomething]

Kyle is a good father, you guys. He got an A for parenting an egg, and will a baby be harder? Yes, yes it will. Especially when it's a Kyle baby and therefore has an immune system only slightly stronger than wet paper. Kyle is going to be really overprotective of his baby. And Stan's too, because he doesn't want to wind up being responsible for two babies, an incapacitated Stan and a puppy.

Pinkie will be so excited! (Who could have seen that coming?) Her childhood kind of sucked so she'll want her baby to have all the parties and toys and fun and candy and smiles! Then she'll get really confused when the baby cries and naps during party o'clock.

Plot with meeeee! <3

[endlessbeato]

Kenny will do what he can to help Kyle, but he'll have his hands full for the most part.

And omg a little tiny baby Pinkie Pie!!!! Aang will absolutely adore her. ♥

[bureaucracy_is_for_chumps]

Peacock will be traumatized by her own face this event because her baby-self will think that her current eye-less/bear trapped teethed face is horrifying. Otherwise, she'll do decently well with the kid. Until she goes crazy from it crying every time it looks at her and she tries to push it on somebody else.

Stan is A WONDERFUL DAD. NO ONE CAN TELL HIM DIFFERENTLY. Except, you know, babies are a lot harder and he's only used to baby sitting eggs. Turns out living and crying things are harder. Go figure. He'll be over-protective, probably, and he'll likely end up getting a baby bjorn from the closet or something at some point.

Plotting is always welcome ♥♥

[endlessbeato]

Beato might try to help Peacock with her baby being scared. Maybe give her a magic pacifier or something.

[eatsyourscience]

WILL BABYSIT FOR RANDOM JUNK.

I am so canon.

[jivitadana]

Best plot post ever. XD

[insidethechimney]

AND ALSO PINKIE WILL THROW A BIG PARTY FOR ALL THE BABIES. Everyone is invited.

[xenon]

Someone is going to have to hogtie jake and/or baby jake and keep the little one away from the guns because kid loves them 8|"""

uhm still brand new and getting used to things so if anyone wants to plot at all do not be shy i guess /)_(\

[forgottenmother]

Amaterasu, reporting for duty. :|b

[bullyingtendencies]

Craig will probably just spend his time flipping himself off and vice versa (whenever baby!Craig figures out how to do that IF HE WASN'T BORN ALREADY ABLE TO DO THAT). How do you handle babies???? We just don't know. They eat food, right? To be fair he'll still be protective of it since it's, well, him - but if anyone wants to help Craig be a better person to himself that would be awesome. Just don't expect the little shit to act all that grateful.

I am open to consider everything as long as it's plausible and doesn't involve death because he just got here and that would be hella lame.

[batteroflife]

I have no definite plans, so come at me bros! I'm up for anything!

[hamburellakind]

i feel like jane would be a good mommy after her initial panic about how she might be terrible at it :|a

[forgottenmother]

OMG BABBIES YES

Dave is going to be kind of. Awkward. With himself. He generally knows what he's gotta do? idk Bro was weird.

Amaterasu WILL BE THE BEST MAMA AROUND BITCHES. She'll team up with Beato and Souji with the daycare bznz and try to keep the babbies from getting killed. :|b

Rainbow Dash has no. Clue. She'll be trying to race with her baby and fail.

Nepeta is going to be surprisingly capable of keeping her baby happy and comfortable.

that's all i got come at me nerds

[hamburellakind]

john will slap dave's hand if he tries to give bb!dave a sword, jesus christ

is nepeta going to hunt to feed her grubby self

[not_a_hero]

Sherlock didn't come from the most loving home in the first place; he's not going to be your ideal guardian. Even to himself.

John, look forward to babby duty.

[was_a_soldier]

...If only to make sure they both aren't killed because Sherlock decides to experiment on their baby selves.

You're not getting out of this that easily, though, Mr. Holmes.

[thneedifestdestiny]

Kurt: Kurt is not cut out to be a parent. He'll want to be good at it, and how hard can it be to raise him anyway? His dad managed just fine. But babies are messy and gross and stinky and time-consuming and loud and difficult! Sine he's a fussy person now, I imagine he was probably an equally fussy baby, and he'll be sick of that by the first hour or so. He'll probably need some help so that he doesn't grow up too traumatized or anything.

James: He'll actually be a good, attentive parent! And he'll probably have fun with this event in a bittersweet sort of way. He's just going to try and do things he remembers his own father doing, and for the most part he'll stay the same...at least, until he calls the baby Harry a few too many times and starts thinking it's his own name. Oops.

The Once-ler: The Once-ler is also not parent material! His heart will mostly be in the right place, but he literally has no idea how to raise a baby. He's a step ahead of Kurt in that he at least knows how to change a diaper, but he can be a little self-centered and oblivious, so that baby is probably going to get left on a counter or a table a few times. He'll try to take care of it of course - he knows it needs food and water and such - but he's probably more likely to treat the baby like it's a pet rather than a person he has to devote most of his day to. He'll probably wind up with some mysterious scars and marks from the baby not being supervised well. Though he might use the baby to help market diapers or something.

[was_a_soldier]

John, being both a big brother and working in a clinic back home between cases, is rather good with children. But don't expect to have him play babysitter, he's not that patient; dealing with Sherlock is already too much work!

He was an child when he was born, so he'll probably love attention and adore whomever gives it to him. Also, not likely a noisy baby.

[not_a_hero]

Sherlock will be taking the John.

And leave a Sherlock in its place with an IOU pinned to his onesie.

[splinterself]

Dirk is probably going to be...pretty chill, considering that he technically raised himself. (I've got elaborate headcanon available upon request, but this ain't the place.) His baby self broke a tube and had no harm befall him so I'm not sure how this'll play out. Aside from weirdly.

Canonmates, I'm tagging you, deal with it.

Otherwise...random baby playdate y/y?

[worldsaway]

Thor is pretty good with kids, but he's not exactly safe with kids. Babies like being thrown in the air and playing with magical hammers, don't they?

His baby self is going to be a pain in the butt and loud.

[bureaucracy_is_for_chumps]

The loudest baby in all of the land. Peacock will insist that baby her is louder but will agree with Thor's parenting skills.

She will be in the same boat of babies obviously like to be thrown.

And she's totally going to want to see how strong baby!Thor is.

[libraritology]

Evelyn was a rambunctious child who touched all the things and stripped down and ran amok in the gardens. Around strangers, though, she gets really shy. Older Evelyn in contrast is very responsible and will be trying to wrangle her younger self into taking a bath, now stop pouting please and sit still and oh for goodness' sake she'll just have to look up "taking care of babies" in the library.

Dean was a responsible, obedient kid, so if you can imagine the quiet baby who goes over to try and get the other babies to calm the fuck down, that's him. Big brother no matter what age. He's also a frightfully competent parental-type as a grown man. Throw your babies at him that will be fun.

Athos was a quiet baby in a different way, the sneaky way, mostly, and prone to fits of crying now and again. Athos now is...hopelessly lost just staring at children, so he won't be the most attentive around his paradox clone because he is a terrible parent as Dumas tells us in a later book when Athos kills his own son SOB.

[airshipswank]

Oh my, somebody was just the most darling petit crumpet, wasn't he?

[sadfreezingbrit]

At best Philip has some passing experiences with babies of friends or relatives. HE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN so he will need to consult An Introduction to Sudden Parenting asap. He'll get there, but he'd better get there fast, because tinyPhilip may be a quiet and sweet enough, but he's the kind of curious thing warning labels were invented for.

Buckingham will finally have a chance to see himself the way others see him: As a nerve-wrecking, wailing and ridiculously high-maintenance brat who JUST. WON'T. SHUT. UP. As his own parent he will either be unexpectedly wonderful or... dump the baby somewhere in the gardens and let nature run its course.

Lastly Aveline hasn't been especially fond of the idea of having children so far and will probably be ever so slightly overwhelmed, fussing over doing it wrong, actually... it will just be awkward. Awkward all over. She'll probably do all right once/if somebody shows her the ropes and tinyAveline will be easy enough to handle at least, if a bit... fussy and too mobile for her own good.

[libraritology]

so darling have you thought about having children

because you appear to have been promoted to 'dad'

[cookingfordogs]

Shinjiro will probably be okay with his paradox clone, and extremely nostalgic. He spent his childhood in an orphanage, so he'll be determined to give his tiny self a good life once he figures out it's supposed to be him.

He'll probably need some help though; I don't think he'll know what to do in every situation. I thought it might be cute if his clone got sick and he sent out a 'holy crap he won't stop crying' network call.

[jivitadana]

I think Shinji would... be a good parent? Sort of? He takes pretty good care of Koromaru, so... um. Yeah. XD /logic fail

[aquarium_tipper]

ngl Izaya will probably either neglect his paradox clone or try to peddle it off onto other people. He has experience with kids but I envision him trolling Eway while the babby almost falls off a desk or something.

as for Sollux grub baby grub baby grub baby

[jivitadana]

Fff Izaya. why no Minato is not thinking of pushing it off the desk himself what XD

And awww, Sollux. I imagine it might be somewhat awkward having a conversation with him while all of this is going on. But I still want it to happen. XD Plot with me, Roku~ XD

[cautious_knight]

Lithuania was a pretty serious and stubborn but kind of desperate and exasperated kid, so if you bother the kid, expect a sword to your face...

Also 16!Lithuania will probably be okay with children because he lives with someone who behaves like one way too often because he has a young territory, so if someone needs help with theirs, he will help (while trying to get trouble away from his kid because he will attract them - this said if someone wants to send trouble in the kid's way, maybe in form of rambunctious children, I'd be thankful).

[learnedsomething]

I can provide a rambunctious pony child! Little Lithuania will even be able to ride her if he wants.

[silvertonguedgod]

Loki already has... well... a lot of kids! So he has experience with babies, though he honestly might be a tad annoyed that he has to take care of his babyself. Luckily he can summon small magical animals to deal with dirty diapers, feeding time, bath time... He probably wouldn't mind summoning a small magical pink bunny babysitter or two for those who ask him possibly with a vague attached price of a future favor.

Baby Loki will probably be a little troublemaker. Like you take your eye off him for one second and he has either disappeared and the reappeared on the ceiling fan or somehow gotten a pillow to explode with feathers EVERYWHERE.

[not_a_troll]

Loki baby mama drama needs to happen. :'D

[klutzer]

Bartz is the pinnacle of failed parenting, so he'll be running around, asking people for advice in parenting and of course, trying to keep his babby!self out of trouble. Especially concerning high places And failed epically, obvs. B| His babbyself himself is...a lot like adult!him, I think? Annoyingly curious, bugs other kiddies a lot (not in a bad way though), hyperactive, super-adventurous, causes trouble everywhere he goes because he's super-curious and stuff, and disturbingly cheerful and cute. Yep. Also, he'll try to mimic you.

His mirror!self, on the other hand, will be causing trouble. And most likely a dominant factor in his failure of keeping his babby!self safe. Kinder mirrors, feel free to scold / yell / try to stop him!

EDIT: I think I should clarify that his mirror would encourage people on the real side through mirrors to trick Bartz (since he's so gullible, tyvm) so his babbyself would be horribly injured or something along that line. Not death, though, his mirror wouldn't go that far yet.

[jivitadana]

Fff his mirror is so mean. But I love it. We will have to have mirror interactions some time. XD

Babby Bartz mimicking people is such a cute idea. ;o;

[40410]

HOW DO I BABY

WHAT IS A PATERNAL INSTINCT

Alex is not going to be very good at this, though not for lack of trying. Depending on whether the babies are assigned to people or just kind of turn up, he might leave the more experienced parents to do their thing, but when he finds out that the baby is him uh good luck getting to touch it or even look at it funny. Which will be fun for him because tinyAlex is the nosiest and most disaster-prone little thing.

If keeping it out of harm's way involves learning how to change a diaper then so be it.

[not_a_troll]

Loki is quite clueless around babies, I think. He never really has been in contact with babies and...yeah.

Baby Loki will probably be a little blue Jotun-baby btw OwO Because that is what he is. It will be awkward.

And I want to plot with you all because I love you, kk? :D

[learnedsomething]

Kyle will try to offer Loki help! And by offer I mean boss him around. Devouring books on parenting will totally make Kyle an expert, right?

"Your baby is blue with red eyes. Uh." [Flicks through guide.] "I think he has 'subconjunctival hemorrhages'."
