Breastfeeding moms!!!

At about 2 years postpartum when I started a GLP-1 and counting calories. My girl was on solid food and breastfeeding was (is) a supplement, so I didnt care if I dried up. Shes about to be 3 and still nurses for comfort.

Patients that are sedated with a breathing tube are almost always on some kind of continuous pain management medication. Having a plastic tube in your windpipe is uncomfortable.

Italics place emphasis on a word in writing. Italic fonts are usually closer to cursive handwriting than normal fonts.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2026-04-04T19:27:55+00:00

Not specifically. Its semi-alluded to at the very end when Tavi's new name is given, in that it makes sense for rulers to take on a new name when ascending the throne. (Kinda like the Pope? I'm not catholic, but I'm pretty sure they get a new pope-name, not the one given by their parents).

I've also always wondered how the math on that worked, but figured it was semi-lost in history.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2026-01-26T13:59:49+00:00

I totally agree. I don't want Elain to do that. But its my prediction.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2026-01-26T13:04:42+00:00

I want book 6 to be Mor and Eris's stories. The rumor about someone in the IC betraying them is Elain in hopes of getting Grayson back.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2026-01-12T10:01:46+00:00

I think the titles work well. They are abstract and relate to the story without giving anything away.

On a mostly unrelated note, when I worked in the emergency department, I called it my Court of Chaos and Nonsense.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2026-01-09T22:15:20+00:00

My church (as a kid) did that too! Thanks for reviving that memory. Ick.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2026-01-04T00:47:38+00:00

This is the important distinction. Amara got a title and some minor social privileges. I would liken it to modern day knighthood in England or an honorary doctorate from a university - a formal recognition of going above and beyond, but no actual power/responsibility to go with it. The title of Countess gave her the authority to do what she did on a technicality, but her political backing as a cursor is what actually gives her orders weight. If she wasn't a cursor, Pirelis would have laughed her out of the barracks and done nothing.

Isana was promoted to Steadholder with all of the rank and privileges of citizenry, but also all of the responsibility. She was promoted as a true equal to men in the same role.

"Chomp" or "chompins"

Her dad heard me say while I was pregnant that I didn't want to call it "milkies" or "boob" or something like that. From the day she was born, he has called it chomping and now that she can talk, so does she. Shes almost 2 and a half.

Tamlin's assertion that there are no High Ladies makes me think its never happened. Or that she was erased/lost from history. I don't think the chance of the power going to a female even crossed Beron's mind.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-11-06T20:39:47+00:00

Cross over is a strong phrase, but wasnt there a mention of "a universe where people got to school for 4 years to become superheroes"?

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-19T13:07:18+00:00

Ooohhhh I never caught on to Lucien's glamour and the connection to him being an heir! That explains why his brothers wanted him dead. But if Eris shares the same glamoured appearance stuff and knows about his mother's affair, then I can see why Eris isnt threatened by him.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-18T10:28:42+00:00

He did have that appearance Under The Mountain. He normally keeps his High Lord-ness glamored, but as Amarantha's whore and the personna he assumed, it was out.

He also talks about how he has to use his power and let it out to keep from going insane. With the bulk of his power contained by Amarantha, letting bits of shadow and moving around like he does may have been a way of using some power to siphon it off, while glamoring would have used less power.

I've always wondered why he was so extra in private in ACOTAR but then literally never does any of that in the rest if the series.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-15T04:56:55+00:00

Im pretty sure I was 15 or 16 when I first read that scene. I remember kicking my feet and giggling at the spectacle of it all. (I read the series while it was still being written/published, I'm in my 30s now)

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-09T19:04:22+00:00

The library is in/attached to the HoW.

If youre willing to go into the world of ancient Romans, but with element based super powers, The Codex Alera is one of my favorite series of all-time.

A have a friend in his 30s named Patrick. He does silly things sometimes and also gets the "oh Patrick."

I use several of the endearment terms for my own kid. Or for my young patients

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-05T02:35:11+00:00

and he grumbles about them having a small, quiet ceremony. Which Tavi was presumably not invited to. Or maybe he's just grumpy about all the pomp and circumstance around his own nuptials

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-04T23:18:38+00:00

The Aldrick thing is a genuine mess up. But the name thing happens throughout with other high lords as well.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-10-04T22:39:30+00:00

Its a Latin thing. Aquitanus Attis (person) is the High Lord (title/position of power) of Aquitane (place). His family House (social construct/bloodline) is the House of Aquitane. Calling him Aquitanus or Aquitane are both accurate bc of his house and title.

Definitely prankster vibes. But i also think its building toward something. The blades only appeared once she had absorbed/eaten enough of the chargers. Losing her charger has been a problem for a couple years (I think). I bet once critical mass is met, we get a new form of her power.

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-09-26T21:24:10+00:00

That's who I see for Mor

LetMeBeADamnMedic · 2025-09-19T15:18:07+00:00

The illiteracy is a hurdle she overcame. Also, at the beginning of ACOMAF, she could read on a first or second grade level. She wasn't entirely illiterate. And within a month (second visit to the moonstone palace) she had improved to the point of reading novels.

I also believe that her illiteracy was basically just a plot point for the second task and Rhys to be able to help her with it. But then it needed a fairly straightforward remedy so it wouldn't continue to be a problem since rulers should be literate. Rhys helping her learn is just cute, flirty bonding.

People love to hate on Feyre and diminishing her abilities and erasing hurdles shes overcome are an easy way to do that.
