trying to find things that i thought i posted but apparently i didnt and it seems the majority of things i make havnt been posted and idk why so heres some sal and kala stuff, i dont remember if i talked about it or just posted the one pic, but kala(the baby) had a twin, as twins run in sals family, and bcuz of sharky instinct dna, they attempted to eat their twin. they had the teeth for it and it seemed like a normal labor/water breaking, and when they went to the hospital the ultrasound didnt really show what was happening, it just looked like the twins were u know, in a confined space. once blood started leaking out heavily with the amniotic fluid, they realized something must be wrong, and sped up the labor.
kala was premie and their body couldnt digest the meat since they were a hybrid, they threw up a lot and had to stay in the nicu for a while.
sal has a hard time ‘forgiving’ kala, even though they know that its not their fault from the start, hormones up their fear and they get freaked out by kala having black eyes(sal wasnt aware this was a trait from their moms side) and sure, they knew some shark species did the eating siblings thing, but they didnt think it would apply to them since they arent fully that species, and its practically unheard of since merpeople dont share info or contact land ppl in general.
sal is also a little on the superstitious side, so theyre battling in their head between logic and ‘my baby is a demon’. at some point friseal mentions the black eyes was something from iras side of the family, sal still struggles with making a connection to kala, but the first time they see kala smile, it makes them cry and repeat what theyve been repeating in their head for weeks’its not your fault’. it takes time but they start forming a real connection and let go of the paranoia and fear of ‘demon baby’.
and then theirs kala with their great grandma, and i couldnt resist making a joke out of it with her saying ‘i hear youre a good eater’ so lmao
