I love you oh my god <3 Made two more but I don't know where to put them...

Cause ain’t no way this guy who is absolutely the PERFECT man for my mother, popped outta damn nowhere.

Mah mom wanted a man who treats his mother right, responsible and caring.

My partner of two years just called me a hufflepuff. I’m a slytherin.

I knew I shouldn't have looked at tumblr for Odyssey pics.

When I'm gonna learn the lesson?.

Just questions I anticipate being frequently asked. Will be extended as new questions are well... Frequently asked!

Why no dreammare? Why no Fresh x minty? Why no incest ships?

They fit the stipulation I put forward in the disqualifications page that I won't do incest related things. Itd feel like I'm condoning it or I was making it seem cute in some way and incest isn't cute/attractive and shouldn't be condoned. It literally only removes like 6 ships total out of a hundred plus possibilities, cope.

Why are all the ship kids gay/trans/etc?

Cause gay rights and gay wrongs :) there are completely cishet kids though too they are just ~ rare ~

Will you ever consider adding *insert au here*?

Like I said in my disqualifications post, if they don't fit any of those to an extreme degree, especially number 2, I will consider adding them to the second list with a bunch of other Sanses.

Can I draw these ship kids? Can I ship shipkids with other ship kids/Other characters? Can I self-ship myself with shipkids here?

Absolutely! Id love to be tagged in it too! I may even reblog the post here so others can see it! All I ask is you don't put them in ships with adult characters/gen 0 Sanses/original au Sanses (like the ones on my list), don't ship them inappropriately (like a 17 year old ship kid with a 10 yr old, have some decorum) or ship them with their siblings/half siblings/other related family. In the end, I can't stop you from drawing/writing whatever you want but I sure can ignore your art and block you >;)/srs so maybe dont tag me in or send me the art where your breaking my very simple rules.

Do you ship the ships you draw for? Do you have any ships between ship kids?

Not all of the obviously but I do have a few sans amasui ships I really love like dreamfresh, kustard, outersci and others but I tend to like rarepairs the most. Also yes! I do ship some of my ship kids together with each other (blossom and moon) and with ship kids outside of my own (like luna x goth is an ancient love of mine and Doom x lux). It's abit uncommon for me but I do ship some! None of them are really canon though so if you ship them a different way, as long as it's abiding to their sexuality, I don't mind!

What dose MLM/ILW/NbLnb mean?

These are conjoining community labels and I use them more for bi/gay/hetero curious ocs. MLM means men love(ing) men and describes a man that likes other men, this label includes bi men and gay men. When I say a male oc is MLM, I mean that he knows he likes boys but he doesn't specify his sexuality further. He could like girls or enbies or he couldn't, he's not sure yet. Oh and since it's related; ILW/ILM/ILNB means intersex/intergender so ILW means intersex/Intergender loving women. I means intersex/Intergender, W means woman, M means man and NB means nonbinary.

"lesbians can't use he/him pronouns"/"Neopronouns are stupid"/*insert some other form of lgbtphobia here*

I won't entertain this. Anyone can use any pronouns ever, Neopronouns are older than Shakespeare and all LGBT discourse is poison. " I can't physically pronounce Zey/Zem!" Ok that's why the auxiliary/acceptable exipronouns(she, he, they or it) are written right next to them :) its almost like you have no excuses to misgender and mispronoun my characters :)

What's this nonbinary character's birth sex/dead name?

Although I do know (because I made them), why do you wanna know what genitals this 5 year old character has? :) that's awful fucking weird dude. Idk about youuu :) (<- not thinking about smashing your creep ass head in/hj)

"Intersex is a sex, not a gender"

Putting this to the side because I'm intersex, I've had Perisex(non-intersex people) genuinely say this and yes, people can and have and will describe their gender as Intergender/intersex. It just means that because your intersex, you can't nessesarily be labeled as cis or trans or nonbinary. Your technically cis because you identify with your gender/sex assigned at birth and that gender/sex is intersex. Technically the label is cintersex/cintergender but Intergender is basically the same. It just means your gender is your intersexuality. It's not that complicated and if you arnt Intergender, especially if you arnt intersex at all, you have no business telling us what our gender can and can't be.

How does a 3 year old know their full gender, sexuality and pronouns?

They don't! The guide is applicable to them throughout their whole lives. That 3 year old doesn't know that their polyam and bi right at that age but when they grow up, they will know and that will be their orientation and relationship desires. The ages present are really just to show the age differences between them, their siblings and the other ship kids. That 3 yr old has a version of them in a timeline right now where they are 30 years old, its all relative. All the ages put forth are basically what would happen if rn, I took a snapshot of the multiverse and kept them at their ages at that time. The specificity is just to show ages in relation to others and what age is typically portray them as.

The birthdays/orientations/genders/pronouns/etc you put for the main Sanses arnt right.

Your correct. It's because I did my own takes on them and I'm basing them off my own headcanons and also because not every creator of those Sanses ever answered those questions. Technically these ship kids could both apply to my versions as well as apply to them canonically.

How do you decide their birthdays/orientations/pronouns/etc?

I spin a wheel with all the options and just pick what it lands on! (Of course with some basic stuff like no lesbian trans men, no Aro/ace/Aroace pre-teens and below, etc)

What's your name/pronouns/gender/etc?

Although my pronouns were already added to the main post, all the information on my sona's sheet applies to me, the real Zen and runner of this blog! (I go by Zen or Zenia, I'm two spirit Genderfluid and intersex, I'm bi Arospec and polyam, my favorite color is a minty teal green, I'm 23 yrs old, my birthday is June 4th, etc etc)

What the hell is a gen 0/gen 1/ gen 2 sans? I've never heard of that term.

That would be because I created it! I made it as a way to distinguish between generations of characters for shipping and family tree purposes. A Gen 0 sans is a base Sans, it's og, dream, ink, fresh, etc. they are the baseline. Gen 1 "Sanses"(cause at what point do they stop being Sanses? Sort of a ship of thesesus situation here) are shipkids of Gen 0, these are a majority of the kiddos here, goth, palette, raven, blueprint, etc. Lastly is Gen 2 "Sanses" are the ship kids of Gen 1... There isn't a lot of them but they exist! I just haven't posted any lol most people lost the ship kid bug by the time we started getting that far away from gen 0. I might post my few some day but that's it. It's also what I'm referencing when I said I won't do cross generational ships, especially with Gen 0. There's already questions concerning age gaps but I've seen no art of any gen 2 kids period as adults which... Would get gross quick. This also isn't about age technically as I have 20 yrs old ship kids that are as old as some gen 0 Sanses, this is about what generation they would snuggly fit in. Are they the "sans" of their au? Gen 0. Are they the child of the base characters of their au/don't exist canonically in the cast of the base au? Gen 1. Are they the children of those children? Gen 2. And it can just keep going and going. Gen 3, 4, 88, 962, etc for as long as you feel like ig. Its alittle subjective, especially between 0 and 1 so apply as you please and I'll do the same.

Why are their papy/other kids here? I thought this was a SANS ship kid blog?

It is! I'm the creator however which means I can do whatever I want. I'm drunk with power :) /j mostly Im using this not just for this project but as a place to house all my ship kids concerning utmv. It's a nice digital trapper keeper for everything. Because I've been a fan for as long as it's existed, Ive been making ship kids pretty much the whole time which means ship kids between papy ships and one other ship. I don't have many of these ship kids, 20 max, so I like to use them as a way to break up the monotony. Should they belong on a papy varient of a blog like this? Yes! Will I ever make that? Hell no. That's a lot of work for a second project of this type I don't have time for ;-; I have other projects that need my attention more than this one and the secondary list is already a stretch. Feel free to make your own thou! If they piss you off that bad, just ... Ignore them? Move on? It's not hard. They are 1 out the 4 monthly uploads. Cope, ig?
