What are some hints that a famine is about to occur in Westeros? I’ve read theories about it but I haven’t picked up any hints about it apparently. Could Sansa, in a grand humanitarian bid, use the grain Littlefinger has been gathering to help starving people when she goes North?

Ahh yes. Westeros might have just had the longest summer in living memory, but the War of the Five Kings has done a neat job of ruining preparations for winter … and with this winter looking to be particularly fierce, we’re bound to see quite a bit of famine savaging the land. (Got long; more under the cut)

Jaime’s arc in the FeastDance really underlines the ravages of the War of the Five Kings on the Westerosi food supply:

There were still cows and sheep to be seen near the city; apples on the trees and berries in the brush, stands of barleycorn and oats and winter wheat, wayns and oxcarts on the road. Farther afield, things would not be so rosy.

Snow in the riverlands. If it was snowing here, it could well be snowing on Lannisport as well, and on King’s Landing. Winter is marching south, and half our granaries are empty. Any crops still in the fields were doomed. There would be no more plantings, no more hopes of one last harvest. He found himself wondering what his father would do to feed the realm, before he remembered that Tywin Lannister was dead.

As Jaime Lannister and his escort wound through the rolling hills into the vale, little remained of the fields and farms and orchards that had once surrounded Raventree—only mud and ashes, and here and there the blackened shells of homes and mills. Weeds and thorns and nettles grew in that wasteland, but nothing that could be called a crop. Everywhere Jaime looked he saw his father’s hand, even in the bones they sometimes glimpsed beside the road. Most were sheep bones, but there were horses too, and cattle, and now and again a human skull, or a headless skeleton with weeds poking up through its rib cage.

He’s only going through the Riverlands, of course, but everywhere the war has touched has suffered as a result. Asha notes the same in the North as a result of the Greyjoys’ invasion:

On the south side of the castle, moss grew thick upon the palisade and crept halfway up the towers. To east and west were empty fields. Oats and barley had been growing there when Asha took the castle, only to be crushed underfoot during her attack. A series of hard frosts had killed the crops they’d planted afterward, leaving only mud and ash and wilted, rotting stalks.

Nor has Westeros seen the end of war, between Euron’s eldritch apocalypse coming to the Reach and Aegon’s invasion through the Stormlands, so the stresses of war on food stores will only grow worse. Indeed, Lady Mertyns notes this problem offhand in the “Arianne II” sample chapter:

“We are no thieves,” said Mudd. “We’re foragers.”

“Did you buy all that food down in the yard?”

“We foraged it,” said Mudd. “The smallfolk can grow more.[”]

“No one’s been doing any raping,” insisted Young John Mudd. “Connington won’t have that. We follow orders.”

Chain nodded. “Some girls was persuaded, might be.”

“The same way our smallfolk were persuaded to give you all their crops. Melons or maidenheads, it’s all the same to your sort.[”]

Even those places that have not seen direct fighting have suffered, because of the problems Alys Karstark points out to Jon:

“My lady, how do things stand at Karhold with your food stores?”

“Not well.” Alys sighed. “My father took so many of our men south with him that only the women and young boys were left to bring the harvest in. Them, and the men too old or crippled to go off to war. Crops withered in the fields or were pounded into the mud by autumn rains. And now the snows are come. This winter will be hard. Few of the old people will survive it, and many children will perish as well.”

War has not just demanded the food already stored away in preparation for winter, to feed the armies of the lords; it has also negatively affected the ability of those left behind to gather in more crops to offset those losses. It’s a double blow to the Westerosi, which can only mean terrible consequences in TWOW.

Moreover, as people have fled the threat of death and sought shelter with better-provisioned hosts, the stress on normal food stores is going to be that much more - and that’s not counting the particular fierceness of the coming winter.

The huge oak-and-iron doors of the Old Mint had always been closed when Davos had been in Fishfoot Yard before, but today they stood open. Inside he glimpsed hundreds of women, children, and old men, huddled on the floor on piles of furs. Some had little cookfires going.

Davos stopped beneath the colonnade and traded a halfpenny for an apple. “Are people living in the Old Mint?” he asked the apple seller.

“Them as have no other place to live. Smallfolk from up the White Knife, most o’ them. Hornwood’s people too. With that Bastard o’ Bolton running loose, they all want to be inside the walls. I don’t know what his lordship means to do with all o’ them. Most turned up with no more'n the rags on their backs.”

Jon had just been thinking that all the meat in the world surrounded them. You know nothing, Jon Snow. “How so? This seems a deal of food to me.”

“It was a long summer. The harvests were bountiful, the lords generous. We had enough laid by to see us through three years of winter. Four, with a bit of scrimping. Now, though, if we must go on feeding all these king’s men and queen’s men and wildlings … Mole’s Town alone has a thousand useless mouths, and still they come. Three more turned up yesterday at the gates, a dozen the day before. It cannot go on. Settling them on the Gift, that’s well and good, but it is too late to plant crops. We’ll be down to turnips and pease porridge before the year is out. After that we’ll be drinking the blood of our own horses.”

White Harbor is a bustling port, and as Bowen Marsh notes, the Wall has been well-provisioned, albeit for only a three- to four-year winter. They still have stores, albeit now will much more added stress. Other places, though, have not fared so well:

Winterfell’s storerooms and cellar vaults were empty. A long supply train had come with Bolton and his friends of Frey up through the Neck, Lady Dustin had brought food and fodder from Barrowton, and Lord Manderly had arrived well provisioned from White Harbor … but the host was large. With so many mouths to feed, their stores could not last for long.

Winterfell has long helped its vassals and smallfolk survive the winter, with the winter town outside its walls providing shelter and provisions for those unable to survive the harsh conditions elsewhere. Now, with Winterfell depleted, there will be nothing to give the winter town when the really hard snows begin to fall - bad news indeed for those who have traditionally relied up it to live.

All of this leads to the vulgar but true conclusion Harwood Stout’s cook states in ADWD:

The riders had been sixteen days on the hunt, with only hard bread and salt beef to eat, aside from the occasional stolen kid, so that night Lord Ramsay commanded that a feast be laid to celebrate his return to Barrowton. Their host, a grizzled one-armed petty lord by the name of Harwood Stout, knew better than to refuse him, though by now his larders must be well nigh exhausted. Reek had heard Stout’s servants muttering at how the Bastard and his men were eating through the winter stores. “He’ll bed Lord Eddard’s little girl, they say,” Stout’s cook complained when she did not know that Reek was listening, “but we’re the ones who’ll be fucked when the snows come, you mark my words.”

Oh, and there’s one more thing … cannibalism. Cannibalism is rampant in the FeastDance, from the ominous stories of Skagos remembered by Sam and Davos (the latter now on his way there):

Some songs said the Skaggs were cannibals; supposedly their warriors ate the hearts and livers of the men they slew. In ancient days, the Skagosi had sailed to the nearby isle of Skane, seized its women, slaughtered its men, and ate them on a pebbled beach in a feast that lasted for a fortnight. Skane remained unpeopled to this day.

For half a heartbeat Davos considered asking Wyman Manderly to send him back to the Wolf’s Den, to Ser Bartimus with his tales and Garth with his lethal ladies. In the Den even prisoners ate porridge in the morning. But there were other places in this world where men were known to break their fast on human flesh.

To the “sow” Coldhands finds for Bran and Co. as they travel to the three-eyed crow:

Meera Reed was turning a chunk of raw red flesh above the flames, letting it char and spit. “Just in time,” she said. Bran rubbed his eyes with the heel of his hand and wriggled backwards against the wall to sit. “You almost slept through supper. The ranger found a sow.”

“What happened to the men? The foes behind us?”

“They will not trouble you.”

“Who were they? Wildlings?”

Meera turned the meat to cook the other side. Hodor was chewing and swallowing, muttering happily under his breath. Only Jojen seemed aware of what was happening as Coldhands turned his head to stare at Bran. “They were foes.”

Men of the Night’s Watch. “You killed them. You and the ravens. Their faces were all torn, and their eyes were gone.” Coldhands did not deny it. “They were your brothers. I saw. The wolves had ripped their clothes up, but I could still tell. Their cloaks were black. Like your hands.”

To the desperation of Stannis’ men on the long march to Winterfell (with a particular ominous thought from Asha):

And there was no food, beyond their failing horses, fish taken from the lakes (fewer every day), and whatever meagre sustenance their foragers could find in these cold, dead woods. With the king’s knights and lords claiming the lion’s share of the horsemeat, little and less remained for the common men. Small wonder then that they had started eating their own dead.

Asha had been as horrified as the rest when the She-Bear told her that four Peasebury men had been found butchering one of the late Lord Fell’s, carving chunks of flesh from his thighs and buttocks as one of his forearms turned upon a spit, but she could not pretend to be surprised. The four were not the first to taste human flesh during this grim march, she would wager—only the first to be discovered.

To the suffering of the Astapori reported back to Daenerys:

Suffering was the only thing they did not lack. “There is scarcely a horse or mule left, though many rode from Astapor,” Marselen reported to her. “They’ve eaten every one, Your Grace, along with every rat and scavenger dog that they could catch. Now some have begun to eat their own dead.”

“Man must not eat the flesh of man,” said Aggo.

“It is known,” agreed Rahkaro. “They will be cursed.”

(And, though not done out of desperation of course, the jolly vengeance of Wyman Manderly as he served the flesh of Rhaegar, Symond, and Jared Frey.)

Often starving and desperate, people have already turned to cannibalism to survive, and winter is only going to get worse in the last two books. Men will be lucky if, as Bowen Marsh gloomily predicted, they have to eat the flesh of their own horses. More likely, we’re going to see a lot more people feasting on their own dead.

Hearing Loss Remains a Significant Problem at Work

Today's post is shared from the cdc.gov:

"Noise-induced hearing loss is a significant, often unrecognized health problem among U.S. adults. Discussions between patients and personal health care providers about hearing loss symptoms, tests, and ways to protect hearing might help with early diagnosis of hearing loss and provide opportunities to prevent harmful noise exposures. Avoiding prolonged exposure to loud environments and using personal hearing protection devices can prevent noise-induced hearing loss."

Noise-induced hearing loss is a significant health problem among U.S. adults, is more prevalent among males, and increases with age. Persons with auditory damage caused by noise frequently do not recognize it; one in four U.S. adults who reported excellent or good hearing had an audiometric notch. Among persons who reported work exposure to loud noise, one third had a bilateral or unilateral notch.

Noise exposure is the second most common cause of acquired hearing loss (after aging). An estimated 24% of hearing loss in the United States has been attributed to workplace exposures. Noise exposure is associated with numerous adverse health effects, and reducing noise exposure is likely to improve health. A recent study suggested that reducing environmental noise exposure might save lives by decreasing the prevalence of cardiovascular heart disease (10). Avoiding exposure to loud environments and effective use of personal hearing protection devices (earplugs or earmuffs) have been shown to prevent hearing loss. Evidence also exists that stronger occupational regulation leads to decreased noise levels . Persons who already have impaired hearing from noise exposure can benefit from clinical rehabilitation, such as amplification through hearing aids, learning to read lips, and other compensation strategies. Use of technology, such as smart phone apps to measure sound level, provides new ways of informing decisions and actions.

Noise reduction and avoidance can prevent hearing loss or slow its progression. This can be accomplished by avoiding high volumes on personal listening devices; reducing listening time to high volumes of music; taking breaks from exposure; requesting lower volumes in public settings (restaurants, movie theaters); using quieter products (e.g., household appliances, power tools, recreational vehicles); reducing equipment noise by replacing worn or unbalanced machine parts; moving as far as possible from the loudest sound-producing source, such as loudspeakers or cannons at college stadiums; and using hearing protection devices ). Hearing protectors need to fit well to reduce noise exposure effectively.

Noise exposure at younger ages needs particular attention. Damage to hearing accumulates over time so that hazardous exposure that begins earlier in life has the potential to be more damaging as persons age. The high prevalence of audiometric notches (one in five) among persons aged 20–29 years suggests that early life interventions need to be developed.

Hearing screenings can help reduce delays in diagnosis and improve access to hearing aids for those with hearing loss, thus improving health-related quality of life, yet a 2014 report found that only 46.0% of adults who had any trouble hearing had seen a health care professional about their hearing in the past 5 years (5). Hearing loss often progresses for years before being self-perceived or diagnosed. Talking to one’s personal health care provider about hearing loss symptoms, tests, and ways to protect hearing, might support early diagnosis and access to hearing rehabilitation if needed.

During routine exams, primary care providers can examine patients’ hearing; ask about patients’ hearing and noise exposures and inform them about the benefits of hearing protection; monitor patients with hearing loss symptoms, recommend or provide hearing tests when indicated; and counsel patients with hearing loss. Studies indicate, however, that 40%–77% of primary care providers have not asked about or screened for hearing loss. Patients reporting hearing-related symptoms or risk factors such as noise exposure need to be referred for objective hearing assessment., Although there is currently a lack of data to support the benefits of regular hearing screening in adults aged >50 years, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recommends that adults be screened at least every decade through age 50 years and every 3 years thereafter. Healthy People 2020 includes objectives to increase the proportion of adults who have had a hearing examination in the past 5 years and to increase the number referred by their health care provider for hearing evaluation and treatment.

Although there are no federal regulations regarding exposure to nonoccupational noise, a 1974 Environmental Protections Agency report identified 70 dB over 24 hours (75 dB over 8 hours) as the average exposure limit for intermittent environmental noise. World Health Organization (WHO) 1999 Guidelines for Community Noise recommend avoiding noise exposure levels that exceed 70 dB(A) over a 24-hour period or 85 dB(A) over a 1-hour period. CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has established an 8-hour, time-weighted average 85 dB(A) recommended exposure limit to protect most workers from developing hearing loss from noise exposure over a 40-year career. However, at that sound pressure level [85 dB(A) time-weighted average], approximately 8% of workers could still develop hearing loss, and thus NIOSH recommends that hearing protection be worn whenever noise levels exceed 85 dB(A), regardless of the length of exposure.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and WHO are raising awareness about noise-induced hearing loss. DHHS is collecting data on hearing status and risk factors, as well as developing guidelines on hearing aids. WHO is developing guidelines on noise exposure. Other public entities, such as states and counties, partner with community groups to reduce noisy environments and use evidence to inform policies that decrease noise exposures. Other ways to reduce environmental noise exposure include using sound-absorbent materials in office buildings and public venues, erecting highway barriers, and passing noise ordinances. Managers and owners of public venues can decrease the loudest sound levels at those locations to help decrease noise exposure.

if Damian's nickname is "heir to the demon" what would Asha's be?

Asha’s nicknames are “Baby Flower/ zahrat altifl” (mostly by her father) “Lightning bug/Bug” (mostly her mother/mother’s family), and “Ashie” (Ah-She, by her cousins)

would asha ever become ra's al ghul

If she did, Damian would consider it his biggest failure as a father.

He never wants her to experience the love with expectation that he did. His love for his daughter is completely and utterly unconditional.

And Asha definitely runs her mouth at her Great Grandfather, just like Uncle Jai-Jai taught her too

You're welcome! Got another question for the Omega kids, what do you think they sound like? I always have a hard time imagining their voices whenever I read their stories. Also what does Julian look like? I don't think you've shown his design yet.

Oooo! So this is Julian Barbados (which becomes Kent when he married Charlie, his family be TRASH):

He becomes a Corporal in the Army before being honorably discharged (wounded in action, leading to an amputated leg and burns)

Voice claims for the Omega kids (as teens/adults)—

Asha—Katie McGrath

Charlie— Melissa Benoist in both speaking and singing

Peter—Tyler Hoechlin (I will not be explaining at this time)

M&M— Zendaya, but a little more bass in her voice

Laney— Sadie Sink, I can’t explain it but that’s Laney

Lily— P!nk in both speaking and singing

Milly— Rain Paris in both speaking and singing

Luke— Shawn Hook in both speaking and singing

Ben—Hozier minus the Irish accent (because THAT VOICE)

Max—Xolo Manidueña

I’ve made most their future partners in sims just haven’t posted about them too much 😂

13. Speeddemon

13. Fake pouting while your SO asks if you’re okay. Followed by a forehead kiss

We need some Bby flower time

—————

“zahrat altifl.” Damian raises his eyebrow at his six month old, amusement dancing in his eyes. “Peas are for eating, not wearing.”

“Abbaba!” Asha smacks her high chair tray. Brilliant green eyes blink at him, sweet face covered in green goop. Now he understands why Irey insists on their daughter not wearing clothes at meal times. Saves clean up time. Asha gurgles again, slapping the table.

“Oh, talking back already? Have you been spending too much time with aleamat Lian waleamu Kulin?” He asks, offering her a plastic spoon. Glancing up when the door opens, his heart flutters.

“Hiya, Dami,” Irey beams, kissing his cheek then tickles their daughter. “Hiya, Lightning Bug, are you being good for Baba?”

“She’s talking back like her aunties and uncles.” Damian says, glancing at the others piling into the room.

“This from the kid who called half the League incompetent?” Colin snorts. Before Damian can retort, Asha shouts and throws her spoon…hitting her father in the forehead with the same green goop.

“Asha!” Damian gapes at her, “Thats not nice!”

“Awe,” Mar’i laughs, tickling her baby cousin’s tummy, “She has your aim!”

Damian scowls at his niece, accepting Irey’s help as she cleans his face off, “You think you’re so clever.”

Shaking her head, Irey tilts his face up at her, “Are you okay?”

“Physically, yes. My ego might have taken a hit,” He mutters, faking pouting at his fiancée. Laughing softly, she kisses his cleaned forehead.

“You know you adore her.”

Fic request: Damian either ruinting with or reminicing about his mom? (Maybe with his s\o)

Thank you darling! I forget about requests in my replies a lot 😅 adhd brain

——————————

How can someone so small hold so much power over him?

“Baba!” 10-month-old Asha wiggles as her father changes her diaper. Not the worst thing the Omega couch had seen by a mile.

“Yes, my love? What’s on your mind?” Damian nods as his daughter babbles at him. Brilliant green eyes take in the room around her, Asha continues wiggling. “Asha Nuri, if you keep moving like that, you’ll fall.”

“Baba.”

“Oh? You expect Baba to save you?” He teases, lifting her up. The baby kicks her legs excitedly, giggling. How? How can such a simple sound soothe him so? Did he ever have this effect on his mother?

The thought makes his throat close. Better to push it away than ruin this time with his child. Especially if Asha insists on shrieking at every noise.

The door behind him opens, his fiancée’s bright voice ringing out, “Well, hello to you too, Lightning Bug!”

Irey leans over the couch to kiss him, then lifts Asha up. More delighted squeals fill the room as Irey tickles Asha, cooing to the baby. Such a common sight now a days, yet something about it makes his heart ache. Noticing the strange look on his face, Irey tilts her head at him.

“You okay, Damian?

“Nothing, love, just thinking about my mother.”

“We’re going to see Selina tonight?” Irey says, then sees the look on her fiancé’s face. “Ah, other mother.”

“Apologies, I know you don’t like her—“

“Damian. She’s still your mother.” Irey moves over to the kitchen, making Asha a bottle. Poor thing had inherited her mother’s appetite.

“I just…I don’t know. I keep asking myself how anyone can…can watch their child being abused and turned into a weapon.” Damian looks at Asha, who’s more interested in her food. “I was that small once. Someone had to care for me and…and I keep having dreams of Mother reading to me as you do with Asha.”

“And you’re not sure where the dreams meet reality?” She guesses, joining him on the couch.

Damian nods, unable to meet her eye, “I know what she’s done. Logically I know she has done inexcusable things—“

“But she’s your mom.” Irey’s soft voice nearly breaks him. Gently, she lifts his chin, “I grew up with Lian, Dami. I know it can be hard.”

“It’s not just hard. When I have those dreams…if they are real, then when did it end? At what age did Mother decide I was too old for such…such comfort?”

“I don’t know.” Irey says softly, “I don’t think kids ever grow out of that need. They just learn who can and will give it to them.”

“…I don’t want Asha to grow up and…and—“

“She won’t.” Irey promises, “You’ve got an entire messed up family that will kick your ass before it gets that far.”

They sit in a comfortable silence until Asha finishes her bottle. Damian gets up to put the diaper things away. Trading the bottle for her pacifier, Irey passed their daughter to him. Damian smiles down at the baby as she yawns, tiny hands grabbing his shirt. Full and content and safe. Irey wraps her arms around them both.

“You deserve this, Damian.” Irey murmurs, head resting on Asha’s.

“I know,” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to Irey’s head. “I love you both so much.”

“We love you more.”

“Not possible.”

How come Asha has her mothers maiden name and her father’s surname but Mari’s kids don’t

Mar’i didn’t keep her last name when her and Jon got married. I had to think about that for each of my female presenting characters.

Mar’i grew up as Princess Mar’i for the longest time. To her “Grayson” was another title. She did keep it, just it made her middle name. That’s the choice she made and it’s totally valid.

On the flip side, Irey was getting a doctorate and didn’t want to change it to “Dr. Wayne”. She kept “West” because it’s the name she’s proud of

Asha’s last name is also inspired by my own. I have a hyphenated name, but I’ve never been married. My mom had my older sister before she met my dad, who adopted my sister. They decided any daughter would have her maiden name hyphenated with his surname (like Jones-Smith) and any sons would just have his surname. They had me and my little sister and divorced.

"She's my wife" for speeddemon please 😊

D'aw! Some speeddemon interacting with their not-so-Baby Flower

--------------------------------------

He deserves this. Sitting in his 10-year-old daughter's new room, brushing her thick hair, knowing his brothers and sisters will be here soon for dinner. Dinner in the apartment he and his wife have purchased together, with their own money.

"Baba?"

"Yes, my love?"

"Why do you call Mama 'Nuri', I thought that was my name?"

Braiding a portion of her hair, Damian smiles at her in the mirror, "Actually, it was Mama's name first."

"Mama's name is Irey...or Iris, but I like Irey better."

"So does Mama." Damian laughs, "What I meant was, 'Nuri' is the nickname I gave Mama when we were dating. Do you remember what it means?"

Her nose scrunches up, just like Irey's does, "My light?"

"That's right. I told you how my early childhood wasn't always good, right?"

Asha nods, face darkening. The first time she'd asked about the scars on his body, Damian didn't know what to tell her. How to explain to the child who's known nothing but love and kindness...that her father endured cruelty, loneliness, and unattainable love at her age? How to explain the things he had done? The sins that will forever stain his soul? He presses a kiss to her head, pulling them both from their heads.

"Once I move in with aljadat wajadu, things got better. Mama and I met when I was still in that dark place, but I was able to leave it behind."

"Because of Mama?"

"Not just Mama. Your aunties and uncles did a lot too. They showed me what love should be. Showed me I deserve to be loved. Mama has been the biggest reminder of that." Damian sprays her hair with water, starting on a second braid, "You and Mama are both like that."

"Really?!" A wide, warm smile spreads over her face, just proving his point. As much as she loves him, she's always been a Mama's girl. "How?"

"Well...You have your Mama's love of learning. You get excited just like her, especially when you talk about things you like. You're both very kind to others." Damian hears his wife in the kitchen. More beautiful now at nearly 30 than 16, which he thought impossible. "You have wonderful hearts, but will not allow others to be pushed around. You, my flower, are the very best of Mama. Which is saying a lot because Mama is already the best."

"Baba, you're being too sappy now!"

Damian laughs at that, tickling her neck, "If I want to be sappy about Mama, I will. After all, she's my wife!"

Irey pokes her head in just in time to hear Asha say, "She was my Mama first!"

That makes the heroes laugh.

"She's got a point, Dami." Irey teases, coming over to kiss her daughter's head.
