Missed Post (2016-10-17)

I knew it, but I didn’t prepare for it, and that’s shame on me.

Went out drinking with my sisters and then demolished so much food afterwards I’m super surprised I’m awake and eloquent right now. Then again I’m also correcting so many typos before posting this so I’m a little worse off than I present myself here.

(Also, this is apparently my 900th post, so… whoops. Hopefully 1000th will be a little more impressive)

Prompt: Shikadai and/or Shikako’s child/children. Gaara/Shikako, Shilamaru/Temari – learn your family’s relationships in history class, or the most awkward history lesson

Hi anon, thanks for the prompt. Awkward kidfic sounds like it’ll be fun! 🙂

Though I think I’m going to have to do something like “Five Cousins Shikadai Might Have Had” kind of thing instead of just one strictly Shikaara kidfic…

It’ll probably have some Kareru from You and Me and Baby (Makes Fifteen), the as of yet unnamed but brainstormed Shikasuke kid, and… well. I dunno yet, we’ll see?

Okay, anon, so I went and did some research and I’d kind of like to get your opinion on something but since you’re anon I obviously can’t message you hence reblogging this post. So here’s the issue:

I’m looking at the Narutopedia pages for Gaara’s kids and it’s very easy to interpret them as being adopted (in part because none of them look like him and also because it only says that they’re part of the Kazekage clan and that Gaara’s their father but no mention of a mother). And I personally headcanon that Shikako and Gaara would adopt anyway. So I guess what I’m saying is, do you mind if I just use the canon second-gen Sand siblings as Shikako and Gaara’s kids?

I mean, it’s not like we know very much about them anyway. So I can just make up how Shikako and Gaara (and probably Kankurou) would raise them in Suna…

What do you think, anon?

Excellent! 🙂

Aaand I might as well say that “today” (September 3rd) is a missed post because I’m still working on this ficlet–should be posted up for September 4th’s post.

Filled here!
