What customs surround a birth and the introduction of a new child to the family? Is the mother sequestered for some period? Is the child? Is there a formal presentation of the new child to parents, grandparents, overlord, priest? Is a feast and celebration declared, or does everyone keep a low profile to keep from attracting demons or bad luck?

I mostly drew this for practice and originally I was going to leave it as a doodle but I decided to fully colour it in and draw it with my mouse instead. I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships between my characters especially with my main OCs and how I’ve changed things with them. And for this, I mostly drew this when thinking about that one line from the Stakes series in Adventure Time.
… I’ll be perfectly honest I could imagine Brandon saying this. I have also been thinking a lot about his relationship with Pablo, mostly with the past. When I imagine the relationship between Tiff, Taylor, Benten, Pablo, Brandon and Drake, it’s all platonic between them. Though I have thought about other things past platonic relationships between them. Though I will say, none of them will get together. Especially not with Drake.
I want to write a visual novel like thing because I have an idea I’d like to see worked into it. Don’t know who successful it would be but damn am I willing to try.
I need to design school uniforms though so here’s a rough design with one girl who is one of the eligible bachelorettes. … I literally have no better term for that.
I drew out a possible swimsuit and sleepwear idea for Addison as well. I like the idea of her mostly wearing bright colours but at least one of her outfits is black with some colour.
