do you perhaps have any Mexican James hc?
james keeps a list of all the places he wants reg to visit when they travel to mexico, he wants to show him all his favorite places but he also keeps a second list of all the places he hasn't gotten around to visit and wants to go for the first time with reg. so he has this entire tour that is like a month long and they take el tren chepe, he makes regulus go to a mezcaleria in oaxaca and is fucking impressed with how well reg can hold his liquor, even better than james himself !! they spend a few days at the hacienda that effie and monty live in, they go to vineyards in san miguel de allende and then spend a few day's at the potter's summer house in valle de bravo and they have the best fucking time

i know i should probably just wishfully think my way into believing that that little girl who gets triggered by the word 'no' is ok now, but...
... do you have an update on her? is it good news? if not, do you have any good news for me?
I do, actually, and it is good news! She's basically my bonus child, and we (husband and I) had several good discussions with her parents (now good friends) about spanking and discipline.
Side note: We didn't go into it as a lecture of "we're right you're wrong, here's how to parent your child". It came up naturally one day when said little girl hit her mom, and mom 'swatted her butt' about it and told her "no hitting," and my husband who was right there automatically went, "But remember, when grown ups hit it's okay." And that made the mom stop and think. We're lucky she's a blunt person to begin with and openly appreciates others also being straightforward. Cue a long discussion about the research behind spanking, especially for kids of a young age, and alternative discipline methods.
Not just because of that, but the overall result is that they actually spank way, way less now, if ever. (For which I'm very grateful!!) She's still rather... averse to confrontation or situations where she thinks she's in trouble, but she doesn't have the panic response anymore. She also doesn't default to thinking she's going to get spanked, and she can handle a simple no in a normal way now. There are some times when she gets a bit tense about us correcting her or asking her not to do something, but it's not as frequent or as visceral now, and I can confidently say that when this change started was directly correlated to when her parents started spanking less (and going to family therapy for unrelated reasons, but it helped communication in all aspects, so here's my obligatory plug for therapy even if you're not mentally ill).
In fact, she's come such a long way that once a few months ago, she pushed our soap dispenser off the counter and it shattered. Instead of hiding, bursting into tears, or otherwise having an "Oh crap it's my fault and I'm so scared" moment, she openly admitted to us that she had pushed it on purpose because it was in her way. She was sorry it broke, but she didn't panic thinking we were going to be mad at her. (And we weren't; we explained that we don't knock things over on purpose even if they're in the way, that's when we ask for help, and she apologized and that was that.)
So yes, good news! She's a fun, happy little girl, my daughter's best friend, and in most ways your average preschooler.
And a fun, unrelated anecdote from her: She can't say the "k" sound yet and replaces it with a "t." This is fine, and quite normal for a lot of kids. But her favorite show, which she talks about and reenacts all the time, is called Super Kitties. It's deeply hilarious, and I have to work hard to keep a straight face when she's telling me all about those there Super Titties, which are, of course Titties, but they're Titties that are superheroes. Her favorite Titty is the pink Titty. She sure loves those Titties.
Kids are a never ending source of entertainment, y'all.
