Welcome to The Nest

Ohh... I have something... cute ready... heheh🙂

I told you I was cooking something... :)

This is the first time Emilie realizes that something strange is happening to Nathalie. Something Nat isn't going to tell her about.

This happened on one of the camping trips they took every now and then. Usually, Nat uses these trips with Eric to get some fresh air and relieve pressure. But by inviting Emilie, Gabriel and Adrien, she ends up exerting herself more than she should and overworks her heart.

Once home, she says she’ll go to the hospital, but we know it’s all lies so as not to scare the Agrestes.

And what about Eric? Since she and Eric live together (and no, they don’t live with the Agrestes), he’s more observant than he seems, he already knows she’s having problems. He just plays dumb and does everything he can to keep his mom from stressing. All quietly, of course. Because if he offered to help her, she’d just say no. So, he just runs easy errands for her, brings her herbal teas (hides the DAMN coffee) and, obviously, handles his own homework.

Eric was born from the beating of a longing heart. Kind of metaphorically and literally.

Nathalie let herself be carried away by intrusive thoughts, and in a fit of curiosity, stealthily, she took the peacock’s miraculous. Hundreds of “what ifs” ran through her mind. The vast majority revolved around Emilie and what it would be like if she were in Gabriel’s place. Well... one of those scenarios kept replaying in her head. What would it be like if she had a child with her? Would they look more like Adrien (who had just been born) or maybe more like herself?

And before she could stop it, with no experience using the miraculous, it happened. The amok took hold in the moon above her heart, and at the same time, she felt as if a thick, painful needle were piercing her chest, leaving her unable to breathe.

She thought about the mistake she had made, the biggest problem? The solution Duusu gave her was to destroy the amok’s vessel, that is, her necklace. Nathalie refused, and well, the rest is history. Grin and bear it, as she would say herself👍🏻

Does this count?

(And more Eminath, because I can, I will, and I've already drawn it.)

BONUS My little ones are ready for adventure :D

Nathalie, and who’s the mother? Also Nathalie. Single dad-mom until the child turns 5. After that, he has two mothers, a Gabriel, and a brother.

I like to think that Nathalie would be better suited to the role of a father than a mother, like, she’s there for you, supports you, and teaches you, but she isn’t particularly affectionate (Eric doesn't mind, he's not very affectionate either) but, she does value independence and hard work.

I think he’d be a great holder of the dog miraculous. Specifically, a german shepherd. Alert and loyal, playful and full of energy, yet capable of maintaining discipline and control making him the most mentally stable of the three (Eric, Celine, and Adrien). Plus, he has excellent aim after training with Nathalie during his childhood. He’s perfectly suited to be a support hero rather than a frontline fighter.

Honestly, I think it would be Emilie who would passively aggressively persuade Nathalie to get pregnant. And she’d probably get away with it. They’d raise the kid together and all that stuff.

But it’s also funny to think in the idea that, one day Nathalie secretly used the peacock miraculous and somehow (perhaps by mistake) got herself pregnant. She didn’t tell anyone. No one even suspected it. After years, she just showed up with a grown up kid.

Welp, here’s a set of adult Eric drawings I did during class...so you can simp properly.

But how can he not be? With Nathalie (and Emilie) as his mama, my boy is just condemned to be handsome.

If Mayura were in Tsurugi's shoes? As in Mayura having a sentikid? As in Nathalie having a sentikid? Well... I guess I made that design some time ago, also some doodles

This is Eric!! Nathalie created him with the intention of making a tiny male version of herself, but during the creation process, she accidentally (accidental my *ss) let some intrusive thoughts slip in, and the boy ended up with some blond streaks and blue eyes with small hints of green. NOT on purpose, not at all, no one she knows could possibly have those features...

All jokes aside, he was always meant to be an Eminath baby, which would complete my version of the messy Sangreste children trilogy, the holy trinity, Adrien, Celine, and Eric. From oldest to youngest btw.

Still, I have no idea how he would fit into an AU, I haven't written anything in particular.

Ohh... I have something... cute ready... heheh🙂

It can almost certainly tell different species apart based on the shape of those air bladders. And it can tell if a fish has something weird inside it, like a metal hook. In Hawaii, false killer whales often pluck tuna off fishing lines, and “they’ll know where the hook is inside that fish,” Aude Pacini, who studies these animals, tells me. “They can ‘see’ things that you and I would never consider unless we had an X-ray machine or an MRI scanner.”

This penetrating perception is so unusual that scientists have barely begun to consider its implications. The beaked whales, for example, are odontocetes that look dolphin-esque on the outside—but on the inside, their skulls bear a strange assortment of crests, ridges, and bumps, many of which are only found in males.

Pavel Gol’din has suggested that these structures might be the equivalent of deer antlers—showy ornaments that are used to attract mates. Such ornaments would normally protrude from the body in a visible and conspicuous way, but that’s unnecessary for animals that are living medical scanners.’

I'm not sure if I ever shared this story before here, but in Curacao, when I was allowed to assist in a guest interaction programme, there was suddenly consternation in the pool behind us. A guest had entered the water and the dolphins were going crazy, paying no heed to the trainers anymore. The lead trainer that was with me gave the dolphins to me to watch over while she went to help. When she came back she told me what had happened. The guest that had caused so much uproar had left the water again and was asked if he had done anything to upset the dolphins. He hadn't, and he couldn't imagine what was wrong... until he mentioned he had a pacemaker. The younger dolphins in the pool had never seen someone with a pacemaker before and apparently it rocked their world.

WHY HAVE I SEEN NO ONE TALK ABOUT HOW THE GRACE SCULPTURE LOOKS LIKE THE LITTLE DUDE FROM THIS MEME
