I was a foolish fool.
Luckily, now in 2020 I am a whole decade wiser. The only true answer to this type of question regarding shipping is “Why not both?”. Ok, so that’s a question too, but you get my point.
Cheerilee X Sugar Belle X Big Mac confirmed. Now canon for my nextgen verse. They’d just be so cute together, and allow for such fun interactions.
Don’t worry, Amber still exists, pretty much unchanged -I might give her some more personality quirks to reflect how Cheerilee’s her mom now too, but they’ll probably be minor. (Though I’m gonna have to edit her ref sheet when I have the time) Her origins are about the same as well; only adding that Big Mac and Sugar Belle were also together with Cheerilee at the time. They decided they wanted to have a child together and Sugar Belle offered to carry it, as Cheerilee wasn’t overly fond of the idea of being pregnant. So Cheerilee is technically Amber’s adoptive mother while Big Mac and Sugar Belle’s her bio ones, and they all raised her together as her Ma, Momma and Da.
