[WP] Your son/daughter is born with blue hair. Which means that the child is a main character, and that you will die soon to give a solid backstory to the MC. You refuse to die without a fight though. You want to survive, and you don't want to leave an unstable, traumatized child behind.

[WP] You, a single person in their 30s, adopt a baby to satiate your paternal instincts. You could have adopted a pet but that's against your ethics. Life is not the same anymore. The baby keeps crying, pooping, floating, summoning baby creatures and sleeping. You are tired, but happier than ever.

[WP] You and your wife are visiting a temple when she hands you sweets to offer to the Gods. "My God is you.", you say playfully and offer a sweet to her instead. "Stop it", she says annoyingly. "I'm already tired from stopping the rain last night" she whispers. "What?!" you say. "What?" she says.
