Pretty Little Pet - Hiatus

I’m officially putting Pretty Little Pet on hiatus until at least August, possibly longer. I’m still absolutely obsessed with Mio and Raphael, but unfortunately I’m suffering from a combination of writer's block and not enough time. I’m gonna try to be a bit more active on my tumblr livebeginning in the meantime, hoping that it’ll help alleviate the writer’s block!

I also want to do a minor rewrite of the existing chapters. I have to re-read everything anyway, to get a better idea of what is actually in the fic and what’s just in my head, and while I’m at it, I might as well fix some errors and update the writing a bit. There aren’t going to be any story changes, so current readers won’t have to re-read anything. The only major change I’ll make is that I want to canonize Mio’s appearance. If you’ve seen the art I made or the amazing fanart I got, you’ll already know what he looks like. But I think it’d be a bit odd if I only start to describe what a character looks like 40+ chapters into the story, so I’ll add a few paragraphs to the first chapter to describe him and add mentions of his appearance in other chapters where it fits.

I will update the chapters shortly before I return from my hiatus and if the rewrite turns out to change things more than I anticipated, I’ll make a copy of the story as it is right now and upload it as separate work, so people can still read the original if they prefer. The current work will be the one where I’ll add new chapters, so stay subscribed there if you want to get a message when I update!

Hey! So, it’s been a while since I posted a chapter for Pretty Little Pet. I’m still obsessed with Mio and Raphael and think about them basically 24/7, but unfortunately that doesn’t automatically translate to being able to write about them ^^’ 

One reason is that I’m currently fixated on a part of the story that I’m probably not even going to write, because it’s set very far into the future and involves them having kids. Kid stuff is something I enjoy thinking about, but not so much writing about. 

But maybe some of you are interested in at least hearing about my ideas for that part of the story, so here’s some stuff from my notes about the pregnancy and their first child, Israfil:

- Raphael has a brilliant idea: If he can't find a loyal warlock he'll simply make his own (Korrilla is no longer with him at this point)

- Raphael tells Mio he wants a kid so they can become his warlock

- Mio: ok so are you going to buy someone's newborn or trick them into getting pregnant or what?

- R: No, I thought I could just get you pregnant

- Mio: Absolutely not

- R: why not?

- Mio: Because I don't want to be pregnant. And also are you aware how mortals like me feel about their children? Are you really ok with me loving someone else more than you?

- R: Well, they'll be my child too, which makes them essentially an extension of myself. Also, as a mortal, you’re much better suited to carrying children. As a cambion, I’d have to stay in one form the entire pregnancy and I’d have to eat full meals, which you know I despise.

- Mio warms up to the idea of having a child with Raphael and Raphael manages to convince Mio that he should be the one to carry the child (eventually)

- it takes like a month for them to hash out all the details for how they’ll handle the pregnancy and how they will raise the kid

- Mio makes it clear that Raphael cannot hurt them (disciplinary punishments aside) even if they don't end up being the ideal warlock

- Raphael polymorphs Mio so he can carry children (it’s not the first time Mio has had a vagina, he can do that himself with Alter Self, but he couldn’t make a womb and couldn’t make it permanent)

- Mio wakes up one morning, blood staining his sheets

- He panics and calls Raphael

- Raphael laughs and says he's just having his period, it's something that comes with having an uterus

- Mio: No, periods are something that humans and halflings get

- R: ... and orcs.

- Mio: DO I LOOK LIKE AN ORC?! Why the fuck am I having a period Raphael???

- R: Hmm, well, elves have a very irregular cycle, so it would take much longer to get you pregnant. Also… usually when people want to have a uterus I give them the most unpleasant kind.

- Mio: Ok, well, just change it so I don’t have a period and can get pregnant quickly

- R:... I don't know how

- Mio: What?

- R: I don't know the spell to change your uterus that way. But I can make one, just give me a few days.

- Mio: Ok, well, transform me back until then

- R: But that would reset your hormonal cycle! We'd have to start all over.

- Mio: Raphael

- R: give me until tomorrow, if I can’t make a spell until then I'll change you back.

- Mio: Fine.

- Mio has a miserable day experiencing period cramps and bleeding until R manages to make the proper spell

- cue a lot of breeding themed bdsm scenes

- Mio gets pregnant! 

- Mio and Raphael both get really into researching everything they can about pregnancy and childcare, picking out baby clothes and setting up a nursery

- Mio is conflicted about whether or not he should breastfeed, he thinks it’d be good for the baby but he doesn’t like having boobs, but in the end he asks Raphael to give him just very small breasts

- The baby is born, it's a boy!

- Raphael wants to name him Raphael Junior, Mio vetoes that decision, anagrams are off the table as well

- They end up agreeing on the name “Israfil” (the name of the angel Raphael in Islam, idk how Raphael would know that)

- Mio calls him Isra or various pet names like “my heart” “my little ray of sunshine���, Raphael calls him Israfil or “son”

- Later Isra calls Mio "Dad" or "Daddy" and Raphael "Father"

- He's a tiefling, looks a lot like Raphael but with pointier ears, like Mio’s. He’s born without horns (as all tieflings are) but when he grows them it’s just one set of horns, smaller but in the same general shape of Raphael’s main pair of horns

- Isra chews on his tail a lot (Raphael doesn’t like it but Mio thinks it’s adorable)

- It’s mainly Mio who takes care of Isra, and while Raphael doesn’t dislike spending time with Isra he doesn’t do it as much as Mio would like

- Mio reminds Raphael that he needs to start bonding with Isra now if he wants to have a close relationship with his son and future warlock

- Mio breastfeeds at first but doesn’t like it at all and after a few months he cannot stand it anymore and asks Raphael to hire a wet nurse so he can fully return to his old body

- One evening, Mio can’t get baby Isra to settle down for bed

- He’s so tired and frustrated he storms into Raphael’s office and hands him Isra, leaves before R can stop him

- Mio tries to get some rest but half an hour later he feels so guilty he goes back to the office

- Raphael is sitting on the sofa, Isra in his arm, reading to him (some contract he’s working on)

- Isra isn’t sleeping yet, but at least he’s calmed down

- Mio lays down on the sofa, head on Raphael’s lap, and slips into trance

- From that night on, Raphael reads a bedtime story to Isra almost every evening

Alright, that's long enough for now. I got some more notes to share, if people are interested!

This post came across my dash yesterday about ethics and morals in ttrpgs and sympathizing too much with the villains. It's given me some thoughts, but they're a bit too far off from what the op was talking about so I'm making my own post.

IRL there's only one sentient species (that we know of) and I believe no human, or group of humans, is inherently evil.

But it's fun and interesting to imagine that they are other sentient species who are so fundamentally different that they are inherently evil, by human standards. The physiological differences alone change how one acts and informs a species morals.

Using DnD as an example, because that's the system I'm most familiar with, there are several species who are immortal. That means they have no need for children to carry on their legacy. Where we often have an urge to protect and care for children, they likely do not, which informs their behaviour around children and people they consider children.

Mindflayers can only reproduce by taking another sentient species and turning them into a mindflayer, and their only food source is the brain of other sentients. Their continued existence is reliant on the destruction and enslavement of others, which most people would consider to be evil, but for this species it is necessary for their survival.

That's the core need for any living being: Their own survival and the survival of their people.

But imagine a species that doesn't want to survive! Maybe they're immortal and have been existing for so long that they're just tired of it. They've been trying to find a way to kill themselves but they've been unsuccessful. Asking other species for help isn't enough, so they started attacking them in the hope that that will motivate them to find a way to kill them, end their suffering.

Ok, I'm getting off-track here. What I'm trying to say is that you can make up an evil fictional species or group, make them so different that they have no connection to reality anymore and not worry about the ethics of sympathizing with them.

My brain just won't let me write currently (I think I'm getting a cold) so next chapter of Pretty Little Pet is postponed until early November. I'm very sorry about that! Also I did start PLP Kinktober but only wrote one piece so far. Hopefully I'll get around to writing some more, because I have so many ideas, I just cannot put them on paper right now, which is very frustrating.
