Weight in gold Philza has a du— I mean wonderful and impressive mating dance you say? Honestly was Mumza impressed by his dance or was she more endeared by his effort?

since this is a child friendly blog I cannot repeat the things she was thinking, but suffice to say, she was. Enticed.

I hope Techno and Tommy are prepared for the baby Raveneger to hatch. New babies always make for an adjustment period. Also will the new baby think it’s siblings are food or playmates, both could be dicey.

Well, the unhatched chick is noted to be dog sized and Technoblade is able to carry it. A bit hard to gauge bc dogs notably come in a number of sizes and Piglins may very well be stronger than humans. Still, thereabout that size. Tommy at most might potentially be viewed as an ambitious feast, but I wager at least initially they are not on the dining table. Good chance they're pecked a lot. In part because they wear shinies. Likely as Chick-Chick gets older and bigger, they're solidly in the playmates range. I half suspect Techno might get imprinted on as a more caretaker role, too.

I skimmed light research and found this really cute article about chick playing eagerly explaining why baby chickens need to play and ough my heart! So cute! So yes, Chick-Chick is definitely playing a lot with Rose-Chick and Gold-Chick, especially as they get older. They do have toys, and the cliff top for running around. Tommy and Techno are also really good at preening. Admittedly closer to primate grooming, but still, lots and lots of petting.

Techno: He is SO on board for this chick. Literally melting so baby so cute. Now, while [Philza] makes it abundantly obvious he views Techno as a chick, Techno is a lot more nebulous with his found family terms. He sidesteps Tommy's demands to know if he's a kid, or brother (annoying, next question). He doesn't really see [Philza] as a father per say, at least initially thinking of him as a rival parent. Except, Techno also says: "I am NOT anybody’s father! Bruuuuuh. Do I look like parent material??" So, Techno would also be very wishiwashi about labeling his relationship to Chick-Chick.

On that note. He would kill for Chick-Chick. Techno definitely adopts a more caretaker role, super determined to help with providing food and safety and armor for them. He'll INSIST he's terrible with kids but is great at playing and Chick-Chick adores him.

Tommy: UM OBVIOUSLY that's his sibling. What else. Very initially, Tommy is over the moon because he's not the youngest anymore! But very quickly gets stressed and jealous and sleep deprived from the constant care the baby needs. Cause like. It's a nest, he can't just go to another room. Has a mini arc about feeling like he's losing attention and love less, Techno does not pick up on it AT ALL but [Kristin] straightens that out. Has lots of fun playing with Chick-Chick but as they start to grow FAST soon it gets a bit dangerous for him to play. After Tommy gets injured, Techno makes him some better armor and they try to reign in Chick-Chick's rough housing because, not a lot of space and two people that can't actually fly without their offbrand elytra, and one who is very small. Once things smooth over though Tommy is very on board with his new sibling, falling into that thing slightly older kids do where they very seriously insist on educating the baby while knowing very little. Tommy gets a bit bossy and starts 'Tommy's School for Filling Cho Brain' where he lectures on how to scam people and talking to girls.

Also, potentially Techno and Tommy could learn more of the Ravengence language as [Philza] and [Kristin] teach their chick to speak! I reckon Tommy would only pick up a few words, but Techno is enough of a try hard to get some basic stuff down. As much as his biology can allow at least, he's probably able to understand a lot more than he can say.

What are your Philzas opinions of cheese?

Fault: eating the oldest cheeses known to man. Honestly probably has a cheese vault somewhere. Also like really unique flavors bc you gotta get Out There to be a novelty to him.

Babies?: Kraft singles are what he can afford

Reunion: probably eats really fancy cheeses for rich people clout but doesn’t care that much

Lanterns: has very specific opinions about This One Town where they make the Best Cheese but he’s only been there once in his decades of god quests and is probably over hyping it tbh

Lambs: it’s a good way to store milk from their cows long term. He’s eating less these days since a lot of his herd is being culled

Lord!: eats magical cheeses that are sooo much better than the crap you mortals have. You totally wouldn’t get this cheese, it’s super obscure and underhill.

Your Heart in My Hands/and/Stanpire (working title): blood cheese I guess?

Altars: steals cheese from Techno’s altar for fun. Sometimes cultists try to kill him about this but the murder just makes it more entertaining

Where Hearts Roost: magical cheese again. Good at luring starving kids into his house 🥰

To Return the Favor of Raising Me: is skeptical cause the cheese might contain brains. But it’s the apocalypse he ain’t picky.

Always at Your Side: fancy king cheeses. Man I’m starting to realize how very little I know about cheese. I don’t know what fancy cheeses are. Anyway it’s probably produced by a cow hybrid which has some weiiiiird worldbuilding implications.

Has never had cheese: Weight in Gold, Golden Apples, Shred Your Wings
