Reproduction - Tumblr Posts
This actually fits with my personal headcanon regarding Draconequus reproduction. My headcanon is that they are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. When two Draconequi reproduce asexually, they basically mix their essences together. The resulting offspring is born with traits of both parents; both physical and personalty-wise.
On another note, part of the same headcanon is that the standard courtship ritual is to cause as much chaos as you can in the general vicinity of your intended target as possible in order to get them to notice you. Also, it is traditional to name a Draconequus after either a chaotic person (ie: Loki or Hecate) or an aspect of chaos (ie: Anarchy or Disorder).
In the Pandoraverse is Oddball the last generation of draconequii? Also before he was redesigned did you have an idea on who the other parent was or was that left up in the air?
Eh, maybe. I originally had in mind that Oddball was asexual/aromantic, so it was likely he wouldn’t ever reproduce. But then people started requesting he be shipped with Truffles, Snickerdoodle, Wave Rider (I’m guilty of liking that one myself), so…I guess whether or not he’s the last depends on what the viewer personally decides. Like Discord, Oddball (despite being male) could gestate and lay an egg that would hatch into a full blooded draconequus, or he could impregnate a pony, who would probably birth a lil chaos magic mutated foal(s).
It also depends on whether or not you see Oddball’s little sisters as canon.

Pandora and Cupcake’s noncanon daughters, the three unnamed neapolitan cubbies, are also full draconequii.
As for the identity of Oddball’s father (before I decided to make Odd a Pandora/Cupcake offspring)…I had a few ideas, but this one was my favorite.
Pardon this old ass art. Shown: Human kid Pandora, and another kid named Light (his real name was in some ancient dragon language and translated roughly to “He who commands spears of lightning”, so Pan gave him a nickname). He was a dragon prince. He was sweet and excitable and dorky where he was supposed to be aloof and commanding, but Pandora didn’t mind. They became fast friends as children, and would have met up again in about one thousand years, when Pan had become the goddess of chaos and the old cast (including Discord and Twilight) had died off. Pan is understandably a very grumpy and lonely deity, but Light makes her smile again, and they would have fallen in love, and she would have born Oddball from their union. I scrapped the story because it was too sad, and also most of the cast was dead, who wants to read about that
Most of Light’s personality was recycled into Oddball’s anyway, so he kinda lives on, I guess
Actually I think having kids is too normalized.
I mean like; not only has it become an expectation for people (not just talking about fascists and sexist pigs controlling women's choices) but people are just so... Out of touch with what "having a baby" actually means.
Not just for the immediate future but also long term.
"We'll cross that bridge if it comes to it!" is an alarmingly common response these days when parents are questioned about the future with their child. People seem to be so caught up in just having a child and a pretty nursery that they don't seem to think beyond that point at all.
I know so, so many people who suffered a shitty upbringing because their parents had a child because "its just what couples do." Parents who never planned for unforeseen circumstances. Parents who left crucial developmental stages to other people. Parents who never bothered to learn how to actually raise another human being.
[ID: a tweet from user @NailsNCrowns (miguel gomez stan account.) that reads “someone put together a google doc of 150 gynecologists that will tie your tubes without asking if you have kids, your marital status and no matter your age. It’s sorted by alphabetical order by state.” They include the link. Below is another tweet that reads “if your city isn’t on the list, please check back in a few hours because the list is updated hourly.” /end ID]
Here is the link to the Google doc.
Throwaway reproductions should never go to waste.
A reproduction I sadly can't remember the title to. The only original thought in this is the flower I added to this nice man's hair.

hi uh i keep seeing this being debated on tiktok and as your resident adult with a history of infertility who knows just.. way too much about pregnancy and hcg tests: if you are capable of getting pregnant, you really REALLY need to understand how drugstore pregnancy tests work. if there is a line, no matter how faint, that test is POSITIVE. I’ve seen people test positive and get a negative or start their period a few days later and be like “it must have been a false positive”. actual false positives are extremely rare. what most likely happened is something called a ‘chemical pregnancy’ which is when an egg is fertilized but does not implant in the uterus so the pregnancy does not continue. that positive test was not faulty or false, it was just an early test.
if you think you might be pregnant, get your hands on a test. you don’t need the fancy digital ones. the ones you can buy at places like the dollar tree work just as well. buy a few and take one every day until your period comes on if you need to. if there is a FAINT line you aren’t sure about (sometimes tests have something called an indent that makes a shadow that can be mistaken as a very very faint line), test again the next day. as a general rule, morning is the best time to test for most people.
in a post-roe america, is it vitally necessary that you know and understand that because if you intend to terminate, your window is incredibly small in most states and by the time you’ve missed a period or begun to suspect you might be pregnant, there’s a decent chance you are past the cutoff. please please please educate yourselves on this because it could mean the difference between you having access to the healthcare that you need.
