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?

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

Shots fired by the Spider-man sequels.

Was ruminating on how Miles and Miguel are technically both 'Spider-man 2' in their respective universes. Got me thinking about the other Spider-successors in the cast, and also what if they all got matching T-shirts or something.

#Bringing back Peter’s ITSV insecurity from his mid-life spider-crisis to document his hard swerve into “dad & mentor” in real time #Miles is wearing a variation of the Hobie watch because I cant see post-ATSV Miles wearing a watch with Miguel's parental controls on it #Miguel is reading the instructions for assembling a couch from IKEA 2099 #he has to build a new one for the breakroom b/c the last one died to T-rex butt #Basically I had an idea that involved learning how to draw Ben Reilly and jumped on it. His comic inking look is weirdly nostalgic for me.#my art #miles morales #ben reilly #miguel o'hara #mayday parker #scarlet spider #ultimate spider man #spider man 2099 #spider girl #spider man #peter b parker #peter parker #across the spiderverse #atsv #may parker #into the spiderverse #atsv fanart #spider man: across the spider verse #miles morales prowler #prowler miles #miles 42 #the cooler spider man #the cooler miles #that's not a bit he's just legitimately the cooler Miles #spider-man

Asajj Ventress trouncing the main characters in a fight, straight up lying to people, and deciding to get the fuck out of there so the plot couldn’t catch her is so Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) of her and I couldn’t be happier

#the bad batch #tbb spoilers #her lying to omega so she didn’t have to put up with the 3 emotionally unstable overprotective dads was soo funny #but also so real #asajj ventress #tbb omega #tbb hunter #tbb crosshair #tbb wrecker #my reaction to watching her be a bamf was the same now as it was when I was 9: that was fucking sick

reading Marceline's Scrapbook honestly and truly ripped my heart from my body.

It's starts off as Simon's journal and then he later passes it on to Marceline when he has to leave her.

This is his first entry, right after he found Marcy he talks about how when he found her she was afraid of everything around her, including him. That the first night after he found her she didn't sleep, but instead cried all night.

Simon talks about how much he loves Marceline, and how she's keeping him alive. Because if he didn't have her, he'd have no reason to live. He basically outright says he wishes he was dead so if he didn't have Marceline to look after he probably would have killed himself.

And it starts to get more and more sad when he starts referring to Marcy as Gunther.

This was Simon's last entry before giving the journal to Marceline and the last thing he said in it was, "God help me" which I find really dark for, one, a cartoon, and two, adventure time specifically since Glob replaces God in most peoples vocabulary in Ooo so this really highlights his humanity imo.

But whats really sad is seeing how significantly his hand writing changes over time, it starts out very neat and ends up looking like chicken scratch.

This was Marceline's first entry in the journal, she wrote in it for a while before Simon left her. I highlighted where she called Uncle Simon. Because...

She later refers to him as a father, yes I know it's in quotation marks but she's talking about Simon and Hunson in the same way and Hunson is her actual dad. Everything about their relationship makes me want to tear my heart out.

Edit: I saw a couple people were confused, when she says "day 4 without Dad" she is referring to Hunson, this is shortly after he stole her fries and she forced him to leave, but he did things far worse than that. He killed her friends after he promised he would help save them, and him eating her fries after she hasn't eaten hot food in literal years was just the straw that broke the camels back. She was maybe 11 years old at that point.

"Maybe more."

i'm firmly a pro abort that thang anti family values anti "and they all lived happily ever after in a perfect little nuclear family" guy but making fankids is really really fun when you only have dysfunctional family models from your own traumatic childhood to go off of. i'm coparenting with these made up people and none of us have any idea what we're doing. technically this is my kid and i'm the deadbeat dad who left them on their doorstep. i feel like i should be paying child support.

#🐉#fortunately eliza isnt real so she and her dads will not be showing up at my house to shoot me with guns

#the fact that he called an anagram an algorithm is so special to me #bcus i too will get words wrong and inadvertently make a funny #i am the jester so it’s no harm no foul but the fact that he cannot string together a sentence is so important and dear to me #(we cannot bring up how dan literally cannot form words unless it’s direct stream of thought bcus that is actually a real life clip of me)#basically they’re my dads (is one of millions of gay children)#dnp #dan and phil
