I'm so glad that I grew up from the 'the movies/series should be the carbon copy of the books' stage. Over the years I ruined everything with this mindset and I'll be forever grateful to a youtuber with a degree in cinema&co that explained to me how it works, how it's impossible to have a 100% faithful adaptation because movies/series have a totally different timing from a book. Books have a great privilege that a movie will never have: many things that work on paper aren't ok for movies. 1000 book secondary characters can't be portrayed in a movie.
I can't forget the day in which I decided to read Jane Eyre after watching the movie: the rage, the disappointment, the constant reminder of the movie failure and then this YouTuber made me see a new world.
I'm going to love this movie with all my heart. My queer 💖 will rejoice in having a camp trashy super cheesy romcom. If I can watch stuff like Notting Hill, or every other straight nonsense romcom, that's cheesy camp and trashy at the same time, and loving them anyway, my queer 💖 can do the same with cheesy camp trashy queer things. You know, not everything related to my community must be like Brockeback Mountain, 120 heartbeats, The Danish girl etc (I have a long list of sad stuff to watch if you want it). I deserve sappy things too.
P.s.: I'm also super glad they changed that stupid height difference trope that is often used in bls and mlm novels in order to identify the shorter one as the woman/submissive/bottom. Doesn't matter if the novelist is queer too. The worst film I had the displeasure to watch about bisexuality was written and directed by a bisexual woman so being queer is not a TM for a genuine representation.

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

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.

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?
