#was not a great mom

[arhapsodyofwords]

She had a way of cutting me off when I spoke to her, and mingled with my love was a powerful resentment of her. All my life I'd watched her read her Italian books and scribble letters to people...yet she had no patience even to teach me or my brothers the alphabet...I was twenty and I couldn't read or write more than a few prayers and my name. I hated the sight of her books; I hated her absorption in them. And in some vague way, I hated the fact that only extreme pain in me could ever wring from her the slightest warmth or interest. Yet she'd been my savior. And there was no one but her. And I was tired of being alone..."

Re-reading The Vampire Lestat, it struck me that Lestat managed to recreate his childhood in Auvergne with Louis at 1132 Rue Royale.

He also found a partner who completely embodies his mother and triggers him in the same way. Gabrielle de Lioncourt was a very unhappy person who would escape her circumstances by reading, and she would spend all day doing this while neglecting Lestat when he was only a child.

Louis shares this reading habit with Gabrielle (as well as the ability to ignore his child while the other father torments her. "Come in the great hall and play chess with your father.").

I want to see these flashback scenes recreated in season 3 so badly.

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.

my mother taught me to crochet when i was young. she was left handed, so she taught me how in the bathroom mirror so her hands would be in the right position.

she learned to crochet from her grandmother, who was right handed. her grandma was the one that originally used the bathroom mirror to teach her granddaughter properly.

i find something poetic about that. here in this bathroom mirror, through generations, we adapt to our young who have a different way of learning and interacting with the world

I think that one of the most underrated reveals in Scum Villain was that Luo Binghe inherited his big dick toxic alpha male energy from his birth mother, and it actually has nothing to do with his demon side.

Prompt #3

Once again, I really love the idea of Diana being a mother figure to Danny and based off of the concept from one prompt I read where Danny ended up retracting into his core after being severely injured and his core is like a beautiful crystal

So anyways Danny had become a beautiful green crystal due to a bad Fenton parents reveal and somehow his core ended up on like the black market or in the hands of some bad rich dude since to everyone else he looks like a giant green Pearl the size of a baseball and for some reason his core is refusing for him to  reform

And one day the person who had him was being ambushed by a few members of the Justice league most notably wonder woman who finds the crystal and senses like a strong power coming from it so she decides to take it to Themyscira, thinking it is probably a powerful artifact from the gods or something

So, it is transported to Themyscira safely without anyone touching it

And after delivering it to her home and placing it somewhere safe and everyone else in the justice league has left already she goes to check on it alongside her mother and maybe a few other Amazonians and somethings telling her to touch the crystal so she does because it’s calling to her like it’s a important thing she has to do and Danny’s core recognizing Diana as a responsible competent and kind individual decides to finally release Danny and let him reform because Danny’s core was keeping him trapped due to his trauma from his family, and it wanted to first find him a competent,  healthy and good parental figure, so trauma response was keeping him from forming and now that there was someone who can fulfil the  role that’s required his core is letting him reform

But for some reason he Reforms as a newborn baby ( you can choose if you want this to be trans Danny or  not) and obviously Diana her  mother and the other Amazonians there are shocked because  the crystal just turn into a baby, but  Diana being the type of person she is  would see this as a gift  since the crystal turned into a baby when she touched it to her it was probably a gift from the gods so she would decide to raise the baby/Danny

She would decide to stay on Themyscira for a while so she could properly learn how to take care of Danny with the help of her mother and the other Amazonian’s in order to do this she would call off her attendance at the Justice league meetings for about  a week or two and of course a few of the members of the Justice league  get concerned of her absence until one day she walks into a meeting with a baby in her arms
