Hii! First let me tell will that I love your blog! Honestly I spend a lot of hours just reading your replies. Good Job! I'm writing a 'compilation' of small situations of a couple. I'm starting with the 'how they met' till little one's like the first 'i love you' and things like that. Can you help me with some ideias of situations that I can write about them? Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend!

Thank you! 😘

The time that one of their parents asked about the M word and the entire evening was spent trying to read the other for signs of how they feel about it.

One of them invites the other somewhere new for a date not knowing what they are actually getting into.

Trying to find time to go house hunting and actually finally move in together.

When they do move in together they bring their respective pets and that 100% do not get along even a little bit.

Meeting the family was brutal but now it’s time to meet the FRIENDS.

Going to a work party together.

Trying to cook dinner for each other for the first time. Maybe they are really great cooks but keep letting nerves screw them up or they are worried their partner might think it to be too serious. Or they’re more of a Cup-O-Noodles person but they really want to try.

The time they got all excited to go somewhere cool but got stuck at home because of a storm.

Fantasy Guide: Common battle wounds and how to fix them

Arrow wounds: Now if the lung, heart, kidney, other major organ is hit, there may be little to do. The kidney has a back up, so maybe a skilled surgeon could save him, not exactly sure however. If hit by an arrow and not hit dangerously in an organ or artery, we can help. Firstly, DO NOT REMOVE arrow by yanking. Arrow must be worked from the skin by skilled hands. Once arrow is out, wash would with clean water/alchohol/herbal remedies. To heal slow, sew up wound and wrap in bandages. To speed it up, cauterise the wound with fire. It will hurt and patient pay pass out but now the arrow wound can heal faster. This works for crossbow bolts as well. On the gross side, arrows may be smeared with dirt or shit, so sepsis is a danger. This is how the great Richard the Lionheart died. Sometimes the mighty lion is killed by a shit arrow. But hey, shit happens. Arrow wounds take a couple of weeks to heal.

Sword slashes: if shallow, wash and bind up. May require stitches. If deeper, repeat process with more stitches and more bandages. Even if shallow, the cut must be washed using alcohol or clean water. May take a few days to weeks to heal depending on wound depth and severity.

Stab wound: Again don’t remove knife or object. If already removed, wash would and sew it up. You may need to cauterise. If guts, organs, brain, is falling out, there is nothing to do. This may take a couple of weeks to months to heal depending on wound.

Broken Bones: A break must be splinted with a board of wood and bandages. Slings can support arms and wrists. If your character breaks a leg, it may be worse. Breaks don’t heal great without modern medicine. Your character may have a limp or leg pain. In you’re are living in a hot climate, you’re pretty much fucked because infection sets in fast. These may take months to heal.

The Delphic Maxims

The Delphic Maxims are aphorisms believed to have been spoken by Apollo through the Pythia at Delphi in response to queries.

The first three maxims were inscribed on the walls and/or columns* of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi as early as the 6th century BCE. It seems that the lettering was probably duplicated each time the temple was rebuilt (it was destroyed in the 4th century BCE, in the 1st century BCE, and again in the 1st century BCE) because Pliny and Plutarch describe the inscriptions as having been engraved in letters of gold. Ancient Greek writers were recording and interpreting the Maxims by the second half of the 6th century BCE.

*Ancient sources disagree on the location - the walls? the columns? the doors? the gate?
