I Mean It’s True But Bondrewd Is Still My Favorite

Good morning, little darling. Another snowy day; I think the temperature dropped last night. Did you sleep alright? Did you have enough blankies? Oh, your joints are achy. Poor dear; how about we run you a nice warm bath? That should help. Okay, upsie-daisy, let's head for the bathroom. Mama's going to run the water, and...let's see...how about we add some eucalyptus Epsom salts. That should help you relax. Here we go, just ease in...steady and slow. Mama's got you, she won't let go. There, how does that feel? I know, it's not fun to be achy. And this cold weather doesn't help. But once we finish with the bath, Mama is going to put you in a nappy and help you get comfy on the sofa, okay? We'll have a laid-back day, and you can get as much rest as you need. Let Mama take care of you.

(To the person who requested this, I hope you enjoyed!)

Went on a hike today, it was pretty nifty

it’s not necessarily that I hate the themes most prevalent in fiction set in the real world and it’s not necessarily that I don’t like stories revolving around real people or relationship drama or interpersonal issues it’s more like im a dog who doesn’t recognize that a pill is still a pill if it has peanut butter on it. I need like the little peanut butter spoonful that is aliens or robots or monsters or time travel or something fantastical and not at all down to earth real life so that you can approach me and be like “this story is about how friendships can deteriorate over time and also how this guy feels bad for being a bad friend and causing his buddy problems with their girlfriend” and then look at me making a face at you and be like “AND! they’re all aliens who are doing all that across spacetime” and I’ll be like OHHHHHH OKAY YAY (shlop shlap shlup the sound of a dog horking down peanut butter pills) wow what a poignant story

💤Night Routine for Babies!💤

1. Do a bit of clean up! Cleaning up before bedtime is a healthy way to clear your mind and get a clear space too! It doesn’t have to be a lot, sometimes that can be overwhelming. Just try picking up a thing or two, or wiping off a shelf. Baba can always help you if you need a hand cleaning up! 🧸🧹🛁

2. Bathtime and get changed into comfy pajamas! Baths are always a great way to wind down before bedtime. Don’t forget to add lots of toys and bubbles to make it even more fun! And afterwards, find the comfiest pair of jammies you have to get all cozy and warm for bed! 🛁🫧🐤

3. Have a bedtime snack and take meds if needed! It is always very important to have a happy tummy before bedtime! If you’re really not feeling hungry, I would still recommend a glass of milk or tea just to wind down. Baba can even put it in a sippy cup or bottle for you! 🍼🍵🍪

4. Brush your teeth and hair as well as any skincare you do! Taking care of your personal hygiene and staying squeaky clean is the best way to be a happy baby before bedtime! Of course, baba can always help you get ready if you’re having trouble! 🪥🧴🧼

5. Do one thing that makes you happy and get some rest! It is important to end your night on the happiest note you can! To do that, find a little thing to do that’ll make you smile. After that, you can close your pretty little eyes and get some sleep for the night. Baba will give you a goodnight kiss too, of course! 🛌💤❤️

I know a lot of littles liked and appreciated the morning routine, so I decided to do a night one too! I hope this helps any babies who need it. I love you to the moon and back, my angels. 🖤

Some thoughts on the Stormlight Archive:

(Minor spoilers for Words of Radiance and Dawnshard)

In the Stormlight archive, every surgebinder has access to healing magic. This healing magic can heal your body from pretty much any injury, to an extent. But importantly, the way in which it heals your body is into the shape of your soul. Souls in the Cosmere are a composite of the different things that make you you: a web of pieces of identity, a mixture of things that were imposed upon you and things you believe about yourself. The soul is in flux, is dynamic, and is constantly changing. But at the end of the day, it is still your soul.

In Words of Radience, we are briefly introduced to the king of a small nation who any modern day observer would identify as a trans man. He is seen and treated by his people as a man, and expects to be referred to as such. His manhood is never questioned by his subjects, nor by the narrative.

A few books later, in the novella Dawnshard, we learn that the King has become a surgebinder. And because of this, his body has changed. His once female body has become totally and completely genetically and physically male.

This is important. In the Cosmere, your soul is shaped like you, and is a reflection of what you are. This to me suggests that Brandon Sanderson is a trans ally in the deepest sense of the word. Brandon Sanderson, in his work, does not merely believe that trans people are trans. Here, he shows that, in no uncertain terms, he believes that trans men are, deeply, profoundly, on a fundamental level, men.

Thank you Brandon for your wonderful works. I look forward to seeing more LGBTQ rep from you in the future, as you have already shown you have a profound sensitivity to depicting queer experiences. It would be fun to see how queer people exist in the cosmere, and I am excited to see what you have in store.
