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.
#idk what to tag this#worldbuilding#writing fiction#historical fiction#fantasy#a real-life example: my dad (a pediatrician) was once entrusted with the care of a baby who was born with a rare condition#this was in a place without great hospital/medical access and anyway they were going to fly the baby over#and he specifically asked them to bring the mother and baby#they show up with baby and...the baby's uncle#and he was like. y'all. do you think I asked for the mom to come just for fun??? We don't have formula here. what is the baby going to eat?

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!
I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!
#atla#sokka#zuko#zukka#kya#tiny sokka!#tiny sokka deserves his own tag#come on he is adorable!#local artist that hates drawing hair ends up drawing A LOT OF HAIR#reason why i was late is mostly because i actually got mom mom something#sorry dad fictive mom my vary real living mom was just this tat bit more important ;;;#yes sokka inherited most of the other jewlery kya owned#i just think thats fair!!!#i am to 100% i notice something that i forgot later on when its posted but i don't have anymore energy anymore to fix it...

#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 8 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 8 spoilers#coming in well after the fact but that's what happens when the art doesn't cooperate#and i just HAD to draw something for vil's ob (re-ob?) because i loved it so much#legit put my hand over my mouth and went “oh!” when i realized what was happening#i thought it was just going to be an idia thing because. y'know. closing out his character arc from episode 6 and all#so this was like. oh! oh we're going to get ALL the inky boys!!!!!#i wonder if this is why we got a malleus flashback so early...#not to mention everyone's dreams?!#i am braced for 90% of the dreams to be kind of jokey/inconsequential because we have SO many characters to get through#and most of the time will probably be spent on our lads (literally) dropkicking their emotional problems#but i am excited to see everyone regardless!#and also kind of terrified! what on EARTH will floyd be dreaming about. do i want to know.#i do but do i want to.#man. they're probably not going to get back to it but i do wonder what silver's dream was#what was he doing when he was like 'wait a minute' and noped right out of there#lilia: here silver i made dinner :)#silver: oh boy this looks great! ...YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD#ouuuagh i'm still deep in the blotsauce guys and i'm loving it#come make snowangels in the ink with me it's great

dad villain au: did emilie just. not consider at all that adrien was literally dying at the time. wow
she's in the habit of deciding when Adrien's suffering is acceptable, and if it is, she'll just fix it later.
#my art#adrien agreste#emelie agreste#gabriel agreste#dad villain au#mayura#as emelie faces zero consequences using the peacock she's more likely to utilize it in a way she didn't in the last timeline#last timeline she faced real problems. had to come to terms with her own eventual death. got to see action and reaction in process#in this timeline there was no consequences. so why shouldn't she make this as 'perfect' as possible?#before gabriel got his memories of the last timeline back he was actually pretty against her being weird abt adrien but eventually just#let her do whatever lmao. he was like. alright fine if it makes you happy dear#sure you can rearrange his genome so he cant catch chicken pox again whatver#as a result when things dont fit her delusions she gets upset moody or aggressive

#if anyone says lewis and celeste are too old to still believe in santa ill fight them🤺 i used to get into fights with my bestie too LMAO#i am a santa truther...i believed in santa till i was like 10/11 and my grandma got so annoyed that SHE told me he wasnt real LMAO#then i went to my room and wrote in my diary and cried onto the pages and i wrote “these are my tears from when i learned santa wasnt real”#LMAOOO so drama...💃💃#part of the reason i believe in santa for so long is 1) because my dad would go on the roof and leave snowy footprints#but 2) because i literally have a false memory i just conjured up???#one year for xmas we got a toy and it wasnt working/it was broken#and in MY memory we got a knock at the door and there was a brand new version of the toy waiting on the doorstep (from santa)#but what ACTUALLY happened when i told my mom about it is that we just went to the store later and exchanged it for a working version#so i have no idea why i just have that false memory but i remember it so clearly LMAOOOO#anyway santa is real thanks for coming to my ted talk🎅#hogwarts legacy#sebastian sallow#sebastian sallow x mc#sebastian sallow x oc#sebastian x mc#clora clemons#lewis sallow#celeste sallow#choccyart

let me RAMBLE for a bit pls
all i can think about rn is how obsessed dean would be with seeing his cum drip out of your pussy. like eyes wide and sparkling while he pants, trying to recover from the sex, but simultaneously losing his breath even more, hitching at the sight of the pearly white liquid escaping your pretty little cunt, dribbling down your folds and onto the mattress.
i bet his mind would be alllllll fuzzy and in a literal heartbeat, his finger would be scooping up as much as he can, trying to shove it back in your cunt, just on the ‘off chance’ you ‘happen’ to fall pregnant with his child…. y’know?
like dean “the family man” winchester just going feral at the idea of being lucky enough to start a family with you— being all soft and doting, dedicating the rest of his life to tending to you and the child/ren his soul yearns for.
that’s why he’d beg to fuck you raw and insist on finishing inside you every time—even if you’re on birth control—in hopes of ‘accidentally’ knocking you up and getting that white picket fence life he’s secretly always dreamed of :((
#is this cruel???#this is actually canon is my head#he’s a dad and a firefighter#the finale episode is NOT real#dean winchester#dean winchester imagine#dean winchester x you#dean winchester fluff#dean winchester drabble#dean winchester headcanon#dean winchester fic#dean winchester x reader#dean winchester smut#dean imagine#dean headcanon#dean x you#dean x reader#supernatural#spn#jensen ackles
