It’s kinda blurry but I just noticed that the people selling the house are the triplets mum and Wintons dad, so they’ve moved in together which I’m so so happy about

the triplets making dream a little bracelet with the word 'mom' on it with hearts and flowers and all the beads are mismatched but dream wears it every day even when techno is like 'y'know they won't mind if you don't they've probably forgotten' and dream is just 'no fuck you techno i love it' and techno laughs because he didn't expect any other answer, honestly.

Fox… well. Fox looks like he fought twenty drunk loth cats and hasn’t slept in a few months. Judging by the little twitches that go through his body from time to time, his blood shot eyes, and the patches of gray hair at his temples. There’s cuts and scrapes all over his red painted armor and a few new small scars on his cheek and across his nose.
“You look like bantha shit.” It’s out of his mouth before he can stop himself. But it’s true. Fox looks like bantha shit and in desperate need of a long nap.
“When’s the last time you slept, Ori’vod?” Wolffe’s brows are knitted together in worry and his usual jovial demeanor around them has disappeared.
“What day is it?” Fox asks.
“Zhellday. Why?” Rex says.
“I’ve haven’t slept since last Benduday.”
That… actually explains a lot. “Fox…”
“Look. You wouldn’t sleep either with both the chancellor constantly looking down at everything you do. Even though he’s the heap of bantha dung that screws up every single piece of paperwork we give him!” Fox’s arms flail around while he spews and vents, and he has to take a step or two back in order to not get walloped on accident.
“Then we have to keep an eye on kriffing Prime all the time. Who’s not exactly a model prisoner if you can believe it. Not to mention…! Most of the people on Coruscant are kriffing drunk idiots, bounty hunters, or shit faced politicians! So tell me, Cody. When do I have the time to sleep?!

how cdream handles being a parent in your eden au? How ctechno does it? Do they ever have problems with it?
c!dream...
he struggles a bit. he's good at it! he's attentive, he clearly cares, he's very attached to the triplets. but his trauma also means that he can tend towards paranoid and over-protective, even over very little things. he hovers when people other than c!techno are holding one of the babies, he gets a little snappy about it. he's scared to death that something will happen to them because that's what happens to things he cares about and well. they're his kids. dream's kids.
he does mellow out after a bit as they grow but yeah.
as for, c!techno, he definitely has a lot of worries as well! i mean, have you seen them? they're tiny! and people are messed up. but he's a lot more relaxed than dream is though more prone to tearing up about things regarding the triplets. he gets anxious but he loves his babies and wants to keep them safe. sometimes his version of 'safe', however, is a little different because he will stick 'em in a basket while he's outside and if one of them is eating dirt that's fiiiiiiine, dream.

Circa 1986 (I forgot my own timeline).
She had never wanted a child, and had very much hoped it'd go away once she had found out she was pregnant, but truth be told, her heart could explode with all the love she felt while looking at the toddler's big bright eyes.
She reached out to tickle the little girl, who burst into laughter and very nearly kicked her unwary uncle in the face.
well. hours of trying to be a bit bolder than usual with colours only to end up saving a watered down version because it looked so much better T-T i've been painting with a touchpad for a month, it's so annoying and allows zero nuance ☠️ can't wait to have my tablet again!
it's all kind of wonky but at least i'm drawing something, so i'll be happy with that. wanted to try my hand at drawing something other than romance. it's drawn after this statuette! :)
