Any headcanons about Polytrix being moms?

Buckle up, I have no idea if this makes any sense.

Through some freaky demon magic, Rumi accidentally makes both of her girls pregnant. All three girls panic because "what do you mean I'm pregnant, we have shows??"

Eventually, they accept that this is going to happen no matter what, and they start getting ready to welcome their kids to the world. Rumi in particular buys every single parenting book ever (Celine donates all the ones she read when Rumi was little).

Due to unfortunate timing, both girls go into labor at the same time. Rumi doesn't even wait for the car to come pick them up and drives to the hospital herself, breaking so many laws in the process. She then spends the next 14 hours running between Mira and Zoey's rooms.

Zoey ends up giving birth first, a healthy baby boy, and decides to name him Jiho Ryu. Rumi bursts into tears because he has her last name, holds him for a few minutes, then sprints back to Mira's room just in time to see their daughter being born. Mira goes with a more American name, and names her Lila Ryu. Which prompts Rumi to start sobbing again.

Both of the kids have demon marks, but Lila has much darker ones than Jiho. The first night after they give birth, Mira and Zoey wake up in the middle of the night to Rumi standing over the cribs.

"Hello little ones. It's me, your mama. You're so perfect, just like your mom and mommy. I promise to protect you from everything in this world. You're mama's special little Sunshine and my perfect little Moonbeam."

After bringing the twins home, Rumi gets around to introducing everyone to them. Bobby meets them, and the girls surprise him by asking if he wants to be their godfather. He says yes and bursts into tears. They decide he'll be Uncle Bobby to the kids, and he agrees to this wholeheartedly.

Celine also comes to visit. She doesn't really know what to do, so she works on making dinner for the family and cleaning a little bit. After a while, she and Rumi end up in the kitchen together, and she talks.

"They're perfect Rumi. Just like you at that age. Your mother would be so proud."

They both start crying and hug each other, and Celine steps into the role of grandmother for the babies. The kids struggle to say Celine in the beginning, so she becomes Cece (she secretly loves this name).

Unfortunately for the girls, their kids can teleport. Only short distances, but it still freaks them out the first time it happens. After a frantic look through every parenting book, the girls just decide to accept that their kids are unique and move on.

When both kids are around 8, the Honmoon picks Lila to become a hunter. Jiho is crushed that he wasn't picked, until three seconds later when the Honmoon picks him too. The girls decide to start looking for the third hunter once the kids are 10.

That's all I got for now, so I hope that is enough.

But imagine young Rumi being confused and distraught because one of her little friends hurts themself and takes (for us) a normal amount of time to heal. Suddenly panicking that all her classmates are fragile.

Or worse, Celine hurting herself.

Rumi heals *fast.* Even for a hunter. She can walk off a hit that would kill a normal person.

What kind of scenarios do you think could arise from this?

in Rumi's early life, her hunter training, fighting demons, and post cannon

Fun! Let's roll with it.

Even as a child, Rumi was kind of weird. Her scrapes and bumps healed a lot faster than they should. Any injuries she got from training were fully healed in under a day. A broken bone took her about half a week to heal.

The first time Celine realized something was wrong was when Rumi was two. Rumi had come home from a walk in the woods (she was very advanced for her age and Celine had no idea what normal growth looked like), and she was holding a very angry badger. Celine, to her credit, stayed calm long enough to have Rumi put it back in the woods before having a mental breakdown because what do you mean my child caught a badger??

Rumi had a few scrapes from her encounter with the badger, but by the time Celine was getting the bandages, Rumi had already completely healed. Rumi didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and asked if she could go play with the badger again soon.

Once hunter training started, Rumi had learned to control some of her demon powers. She could heal a bit slower, but it was still fast for a normal person. Whenever Mira and Zoey asked about it, she gave some vague answer about the Honmoon working in mysterious ways.

After the Idol Awards, Rumi lets her healing abilities run wild. Injuries that used to take her days to heal were already gone by the time the fights ended. It worked well in some situations, but in others it worried Mira and Zoey (I'll let you all fill in the angst as you will).

One day, as Rumi is running through the city at night to get some fresh air, she's hit by a car moving well over the speed limit. She goes over the hood and lays on the street groaning in pain for a while. She can tell she's got at least two fractures, and it really hurts. The Honmoon alerts Mira and Zoey, who rush to her side.

By the time the girls get there, Rumi is sitting on the side of the road on the phone with the police to report the car. The girls are panicking, but Rumi shows them that most of her injuries are already gone. Apparently, her healing abilities got a massive buff from killing the demon king.

That's all for tonight guys!

articles about the “wild new trend” of piercing from the late ‘50s and early ‘60s are fascinating to read. a selection of excerpts:

- one doctor cautioned that girls with pierced ears would be “required to constantly wear earrings to hide the holes in their heads” (or you could just not be weird about a tiny dot on someone else’s earlobe?)

- Genevieve Dariaux, then director of the Nina Ricci couture house, said in 1965 that “Pierced ears are unthinkable for an elegant woman, and even more dreadful for a young girl.” bear in mind that, as I’ve said, earrings that made your ears LOOK pierced were still common. what the difference was, nobody has yet made plain

- lots of evidence that going to a doctor was the preferred “safe” method for piercing at the time. but many doctors refused to do it, or said they would but that they strongly discouraged patients from having the procedure done. this checks out with my mother’s experience in 1965- her schoolmate’s anesthesiologist father did free piercing for all his daughter’s friends

- some teenagers around 1965 called clip and screwback earrings “chicken earrings” (implying that the wearers were too scared of pain to get their ears pierced, I think)

- one advice column, also from 1965, implied that pierced ears were just a passing fad. the previous several centuries of western history would like a word, Mx. Columnist…

- A GIRL WITH RESTRICTIVE PARENTS BRINGING UP THE ARGUMENT THAT HER GRANDMOTHER HAD PIERCED EARS. YES. FINALLY SOMEONE REALIZED THE LOGICAL FALLACIES HERE. the argument against that is, indeed, a sort of “that was the Bad Old Days and we know better now” deal as some other commenters have hypothesized

- one article mentions that the trend could be part of the Victorian revival that was just becoming popular in the mid-60s, which is a fascinating thought I’ve never considered before

- many doctors complaining that they were suddenly being called upon to pierce ears despite not really knowing how. this is interesting, because before the Great Ear-Piercing Taboo, jewelers offering piercing services were more like modern piercers than Claire’s employees (and doctors weren’t involved at all unless an infection set in). descriptions I’ve read of Victorian piercer-jewelers mention a lot of things we’re familiar with today- needles designed with a hollow for inserting the starter jewelry, for example, and even “freezing” solutions to numb the earlobe. so in those early resurgence days, going to a long-established jewelry store for your piercing might actually have been a better option than a doctor’s office

- two young women in a 1964 Canadian article (from Calgary) mention that they think screwback earrings look cheap and gaudy, and the pierced version is more conservative and tasteful, in an interesting reversal of mainstream thought

- a newspaper columnist saying pierced ears give him “the wim-wams,” so they are to be avoided. whatever the hell that means

- a LOT of people seem to think that ear piercing was popular in the Victorian era because wealthy women didn’t want to lose their expensive jewelry. sorry folks- my collection of Victorian costume earrings (all pierced) says otherwise

- much confusion as to why modern girls want to do something so old-fashioned

- one woman marvels at how comfortable it is to wear earrings in pierced ears, as opposed to clips and screwbacks. I feel infinitely blessed, as an earring-lover, to have been born when I could escape the scourge of ear-vises altogether

- apparently an eccentric elderly man on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, literally bribed all the women of the community to pierce their ears because he liked the way it looked. one of them mentioned that she held out for $25- $244 CAD or $188 USD in today’s money. all because some rich Victwardian codger had a very specific fetish

- this absolutely incredible response of an Indian diplomat’s wife when asked, in New York, why she wore a diamond nose stud: “Because I feel [diamonds] become me more than rubies or emeralds.” QUEEN

- “when the fad changes, as it indubitably will-” are you certain of that, ma’am

Your premise is flawed. There's no such thing as a fish.

one of those facts thats like "this creature that looks like a fish is closer to humans than it is to fish" but its a picture of like your uncle

I used to hate winter until I fell in love with someone who has trouble breathing in summer weather and now winter isn't that bad

People who love cold weather are fucking weird. You like to freeze? You like to shiver?? You like when you take a step outside and the air stings your skin???
