I love lan xichen and lan wangji and Jiang Yanli and Wen Ning obviously, precious children, all. but anyone who suggests there is a more ride or die bitch in the jianghu than su shi, is, I am sorry, just objectively wrong.

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.

Can we get a big round of applause to one of the most iconic characters of all time? He’s been through so many muppet antics and I think it’s time for some appreciation

You’re doing great, Kermit. Jim would be so proud :)

I’m just here to scream uncontrollably over @lurkingshan ‘s incredible list and add something as someone who grew up with a blind grandmother. I love all the points but fam fam fam :

Point 7 : YES ! This man is UNSETTLED when he is told to leave like TO GO WHERE EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU MEAN LEAVE ? YOU ? ALONE ? And it’s sending me fam.

Point 8 : So elegant in his possessiveness .Bruv is better than me because when August asked “May I take over ?” I, Chica, daughter of Jo, said NO HOE YOU MAY NOT to my screen. (Also Day’s lil hand press when he let go I’m catatonic.)

Point 9 : HE STOPPED SMOKING ! Fam if you know me you know I’m a sucker for this. I’m still screaming over King stopping for Uea in Bed Friend. I love this trope I LOVE IT.

Point 11: Sir do you realize that you are all up on that man all the time like I understand that you don’t want to be overheard and that you are guiding him and all BUT YOU ARE ALL UP IN THAT MAN’S FACE SHARING BREATH BACK AND FORTH LIKE HOW ARE YOU NOT DIZZY.

Finally, as a blind woman’s granddaughter, let me share with you that Mhok’s knows how to shadow. How to be present without being intrusive. When to back up and when to step up. Finally he knows, without growing up with it,how to supply Day’s interlocutors with eye contact. People do it instinctively,they look over to you (the “shadow”) because we also communicate with our eyes and they feel that they can’t do it. Day’s professor does it, Gee does it, Day’s friends do it even August’s bitch ass. And Mhok supplies the meaningful eye contact they need because he is perfect back up. That’s why him not telling Day immediately that August was there in the bar. might be a problem.

God, Mhok is already so gone on Day, let me count the ways:

He’s going so above and beyond his caretaker duties, I haven’t checked the contract but I’m pretty sure cute lil dates are not in the job description

Waking him up by leaning over him straight out of the shower I see you sir!

He’s always attuned to Day’s emotions and looking out for his feelings

The way he keeps looking at him and calling him cute with total sincerity

He really likes Day’s snarky sense of humor and finds him funny, he’s always chuckling to himself when he’s talking to Day

He is constantly touching Day, for guidance and reassurance but also because he clearly just wants to

He never wants to leave him and is visibly unsettled when he’s told he can go

He was definitely a little jealous of August throughout their interactions (but keeping a lid on it because he’s respectful)

He has stopped smoking!!

He was so excited for their dinner date and immediately leaned into the excuse to flirt shamelessly

He stands so so close to him like way beyond what is necessary, his face is always right up in Day’s face

Blushing and rubbing his neck and smiling uncontrollably while they sniff flowers together CASE CLOSED TBH

He just keeps spending his entire day with Day morning to night he is not interested in being anywhere else

The way his face just absolutely plummeted and he teared up when Day admitted he has feelings for August, similar to Day I am NOT OKAY THANK YOU FOR ASKING

I find it extremely funny that the entire Good Omens fandom is absolutely in love with Bildad the Shuhite for seemingly no reason. Can one of you please tell me why we love him so?

[just-an-enby-lemon]

The thing about jonmartin is that Martin wants to be a romantic, he loves poetry and probably watches romance but for him it is a fantasy, a silly game he plays. Martin is at his core very cynical. Things don't work out for him so he doesn't really belive in romance, it is a pretty dream but that's it. He is pratical and realist. Dating Jon he has to remind himself it is real and he actually struggles with romantic gestures, it is something he has to remind himself to do, to remind himself he can do even and honestly who even has the energy and what if Jon doesn't even like it?

Jon on the other hand wants to be cynical. His first coping mechanism was pretend the things he was afraid of weren't real and goddam if he isn't afraid of love. It didn't really work to him so far so it's easy to pretend he doesn't care. But he is a romantic at heart. He saw love and he read about it and he has enough evidence that it is undeniable. And to be honest Jon was always to much a bunch of mushy feelings hidden in a grumpy (and bitter and afraid) trench coat. Dating Martin he has to hold himself so he isn't too much. He plays the grumpy unromantic guy at first. But he just can't stop giving flowers and planing dates (this is the guy that saw a theme park on a fear domain and considered how he wanted to take Martin to a romantic ferris whell date [until he discovered Martin was afraid of them]) and making all the silly things one does when in love.

TR: Martin is deep down very cynical about love but wants to/pretends to be a romantic and Jon is deep down very romantic but wants to/pretends to be cynical about love.

‘Ed? Are you… coping?’ - from Ely for Ed based on your ‘everyone thinks Izzy is dead’ wishlist

@swallowsandamazons

❝ Coping? ❞ Edward waved the idea off, getting up from the chair he just sat on. ❝ yeah, that's all done, mate. We have a lot to do, don't we?❞ he paces around, moving the furniture just slightly ❝ I thought about redecorating. We obviously have to ask Stede, it's his cabin, of course, but a change will be good, don't you think? Or we could have a surprise for him! What do you think? ❞
