LOTM Volume 1 spoilers until chapter 205? That's what I'm reading rn

Guys. I'm fucking worried. Klein Just divined that Dunn Smith's abnormality could lead him in danger. And Dunn Smith is talking about using Saint Selena's ashes? I'm hoping everything won't go to shit immediately, with the Megose demon child bomb and the fucking Lavenus insane plot. AGHHHH and just after Kenley was murdered. What the hell. What is going on with the Captain. Mf I'm Stressin' here!

(I'm loving it. Even if it stresses the Fuck outta me)

I love time travel fix it stories but I also adore time travel fuck it stories.

Darth vader with all his problems going back in time and deciding he's going to fuck things up is delicious. Him going back in time doesn't really like. Change his murderous tendencies or his skewed moral compass. So he's got the select few people he cares about, his obi wan and his padme and his padawan and his 501st.

And dude's murdering and straight up decapitating people left right and center to reach his end result of a happy ending that his fucked up mind wants.

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.
