#hell yeah squad

2024 fanfic and art project by ANT <- link goes to the introductory post, with a further link back to the initial idea and poll.

Reblog to join the squad ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

At some point I can either set up a timeline and roughly place the chapters on it, or maybe I'll just wait until I feel done with it, and then post it in order on AO3.

I appreciate everyone who stays for the ride, as well as random readers of singular chapters (´∀`)ノ ♡

Some notes as an introduction:

I am tagging these posts #tianshan+2 for the time being. For the person who voted "Ugh, why would you want to do that? Don't give them kids!" - sorry about your squick! Please blacklist the tag, and you won't have to see the story in your fandom tag browsing or on your dash. This goes for anyone who would rather avoid this, I am tagging as a service to you <3

That said, there is going to be no mpreg in this story, just regular gay reproduction as it happens in the real world. I am not going to do a lot of research on China's stance on these things, and what is actually legally possible there, this is an indulgent AU. Assume that Mo Guanshan and He Tian are in a registered partnership, or gay marriage, or whatever setup is common where you live (and if it's illegal in your country, just imagine whatever you would prefer to be available). Zhan Zhengxi and Jian Yi will be gay uncles to the kids. Xixi's sister might also get roped into the story and provide some playmates. He Cheng will be insufferable in his doting, he's going to spoil these kids rotten! I do not have a story outline, just ideas for loose scenes. The story will probably not be told chronologically, but instead jump around and touch down on whatever aspect appeals to me (or to you! if you interact with the story, I will play off of that as well).

I have some thoughts on He Tian's relationship to his own family (father) and how that will play out in choices regarding the kids, but I think I'll keep those details to myself for the time being ≖‿≖

Currently working on a little Hell Yeah Squad badge, and a pregnancy announcement drawing/post. Please help me name their family Instagram account so I can draw the announcement as an Instagram post! I suck balls at this sort of thing (ಥ﹏ಥ) We currently have one declared squad member! Shoutout to @tianshanforlife <3

See you soon!

The twins around age 9

Okay squad, I need your help namíng these kids!

So, here's a little background on the twins, to get you set: They are fraternal twins with the same egg donor, but one is biologically He Tian's (the boy), the other biologically Guanshan's (the girl - hence the red hair). The girl is the older twin, which she is definitely going to capitalise on as much as humanly possible.

Both kids have Mo's family name, so their name will be Mo +whichever names most of you vote for!

I've been looking at popular kids names in China up until the present, picking a few out to choose from.

I can only include one poll in a post, so this is going up twice, once for each of them.

Second up, the brother!

Boys names:

浩宇 (Hàoyǔ) Meaning: vast universe

奕辰 (Yìchén) Meaning: grand sun, moon, stars

沐阳 (Mùyáng) Meaning: bathe in the sun

和平 (Hépíng) Meaning: peace

波 (Bō) Meaning: wave

辉 (Huī) Meaning: brightness

Most of the popular boys' names are kind of bombastic, but I've looked around to find some that are a little softer.
