My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

Yes, Qibli and Sunny are not very close to each other. But nevertheless, I see him as Thorn's adopted son. Thorn broke up with Stonemover, and the relationship with Smolder is just beginning. So I don't consider any of them part of her family.

I imagine Winter doesn't do so well with crawlies. The climate he is from is very inhospitable to insects and arachnids, so growing up in the Ice Kingdom he probably hasn't seen too many bugs in his life and had no opportunities to get used to them (maybe he's found an antarctic midge if he went digging for it, but that's it).

The warmth of the sun could not reach the shadows; it wallows, knowing it cannot say "You did your best."
