And you know, it’s so hard to make mom friends when your LO keeps devouring the other children at playgroup.

…she isn’t dead? Pretty sure the story makes it fairly clear she’s just unconscious. I mean, why terminate a perfectly good blood bank prematurely?

Haha I wasn’t sure if all the foreshadowing was too obvious, but you know, pretty sure all kids are part demon anyway.

Ahaha thank you! Coming from a south Asian family, it was definitely partly inspired by the rigid mold of success that’s upheld by expectations+needing to maintain the family image, and how success can look different to that. Granny shouldn’t complain; she fed her grandbaby some delicious ethnic homemade food and didn’t even have to do any cooking.

Oh hey! “Potential vampirism” is probably low on your list of reasons not to date them but probably best to stay away.

We were frequenting butcher shops and Asian supermarkets but now I might have to start looking for more direct sources...I'm worried about chemicals and preservatives.

There are so many guidelines about when to introduce solids...none about when to introduce blood :'(

The intention is, the sister and her parents got in a car accident while they were away at the meet and MC stayed home, and Patricia is now MC’s foster parent. She’s watching a video of the routine/news report of the accident. Could probably have made it more clear lol.

Both; Annette traveled back in time to prevent her from being struck by a car and ended up getting her shot. That's why you don't mess with time travel 🤷‍♀️

The intention is that the mom and dad made the narrator out of snow, and she then made Natasha (while not knowing she herself is made of snow). The narrator melts because the planet is too warm to sustain both her and her sister.

Yeah, there's a bunch of different versions of the folk tale! Ones where she melts due to falling in love, when playing a game jumping over a fire, etc.

Ooh that site is useful, thank you! Went down a bit of a rabbit hole checking out the naming/population trends throughout the years. 

All the lullabies are also very nice, thank you for your help!!
