THE BIG FAT TIME TRAVEL TEXTING MEME.

How does it work?
- You post your top-level as usual.
- People reply, but the catch is, magical shenanigans intervene and poof! You're getting a text from someone you know, but it's 3 years too early or 10 years too late! What spoilers will you learn? Will you accidentally reveal some of your own?
- You can use this to explore forward-dated scenarios or have characters interact before they "met," or at least before one of them knows they met.
- When you reply, notate in the header when your character's tagging from.

[minsu]

is that her?

[he doesn't even really have to ask that. he looks at the little girl and he just knows, and he's flooded with relief. everything in sage's pregnancy has gone normally, there's no reason to think that it wouldn't continue to be all the way through.

but...their baby is special, any way you look at it. minsu still quietly worries, watches sage sleep while chewing at his bottom lip.]

who's the little boy, is he

oh

he looks like me

[so what if there are claws and a few scales, minsu only sees the chubby cheeks and baby fine hair.]

[muskeg]

yeah, that is Jiyun.

and that is Sejun. our son. he is like... almost two in this picture? he seems to have some shifter abilities. though he hasn't quite mastered them.

[ he probably will, eventually. not that it matters at all to Sage or Minsu really, scales and claws an a few extra appendages included he is still their son.]

you are the best father Min, i know its something you worry about, something you didnt tell me for a long while, but you-- gods, you are so good to them. good for them. and me too. i have never been happier, but i also know that i will just continue to get happier with you around.

there are some bumps in the road, little things, but it all works out.

beautifully, if you ask me.

[minsu]

he will, though! you just wait.

sage, i love them so much already. i wish i could hold them.

oh, i'm so....yes, i'm definitely happy to her that. my father wasn't much for love and acceptance, i just need them to know that they'll always have that from me! that they're perfect and good, and they get thm from you who gave them life.

i'm already so happy. i'm so thankful for every minute of my life with you.

[muskeg]

i am sure that he will, i have no doubts.

though i will probably miss his little six-legged alligator look. it's adorable.

you will be able to hold Jiyun soon. and trust me, you do hold her a lot. pretty sure she doesn't know what a highchair or the floor is for the first six months, always in someone's arms.

trust me Min, they know. you never fail to remind them, and show them. in so many ways. and i know that there is no way i could have brought them into the world without you. could have been stable enough to have even considered it. you are the reason i make it as long as i do, never forget that.

you make my life worthwhile Min, you and these little beautiful swamp creatures we have.
