For whatever reason, a friend wanted to see seahorse!Ryla.
Upon delivery, another coupla friends immediately asked to see her with a big pregnant belly.
Now, instead of making our heads explode trying to understand the logistics of a trans girl with shapeshifting powers getting pregnant while in the body of an animal whose males give birth, I'm just gonna drop some Ryla-lore that I did not expect to ever come up.
Ryla identifies as female, and therefore IS Female, regardless of what body she's wearing. But that body is, by its very nature, devoid of biological sex - in the sense that it can perform the reproductive functions of any sex, including that of creatures who reproduce asexually.
And also she might not even be pregnant. Maybe she just got that belly from sucking up a big squid. Seahorses are predators!
My friends are just a bunch of piscine perverts.

You mean Ryla can reproduce like Zilla?!
Posted by GREGOLE 3 years ago Report
No! That'd be stupid!
She can reproduce like Hedorah.
Posted by Bellyl0ver 3 years ago Report
Now that I think about it, could she reproduce like symbiotes(ie a spawn that’s twice as strong as the parent symbiote)

Very nice! The lore is fun, too!

Actually it's false that Male seahorses give birth. Yes, they carry the eggs in a specialized pouch, but that's after the female lays the eggs in that pouch.
Posted by GREGOLE 3 years ago Report
They lug around big, swollen bellies, from which baby seahorses eventually emerge. That's giving birth in my book.
Posted by JustSomePrey 3 years ago Report
Yeah, but it's more akin to a Kangaroo's pouch than a womb.

That is splitting hairs.
Posted by JustSomePrey 3 years ago Report
Not really. The father provides nothing more than a safe place for the eggs to grow. Essentially it's like saying the male emperor penguin gives birth to the hatchlings, when all he provides is heat to keep the egg warm.
Posted by GREGOLE 3 years ago Report
The male penguin doesn't keep the eggs inside his body, nor does he swell up from it.
The seahorse is keeping an unhatched, not-fully-developed offspring inside his body and swelling up, until they are ready to hatch and emerge. Far as I'm concerned, that is male pregnancy.
It's not the same as actually having the young begin development inside one's body, but that is, again, splitting hairs.

"Seahorses are predators" is something I keep forgetting about until it gets brought up again...

Well given Ryla’s biological nature she probably had to swallow something up to get that “pregnant” tummy

I like the idea it's a giant squid in there! XD

If Ryla made a mini Ryla or fifty then the cosmos is gonna end up a lot more eaten.
