Allure of the Siren, Temptation, Deception and Redemption.

In Bangkok, rivals Dao and Chaisai team up to find missing strippers. Dao risks all by going undercover. As they delve into the city's seedy underbelly, they uncover a sinister truth: victims are trapped in a nightmare of "euphoria," drugs, and trafficking. Amid danger, a romance blooms, and they confront their own pasts.

The drama is based on C.L. Ramos’ novel of the same name.

To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord’s work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

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.

Jokes aside, goats milk was actually a common replacement for breast milk in pre formula days. It is NOT actually a great alternative for infants under 12 months, but thats what we know NOW. Its not high enough in key nutrients that infants need so it did lead to a lot of issues with infants that didn't breast feed then so I am NOT suggesting anyone replace breast milk or formula today, but it IS easier on an infants digestive track than cows milk (lower in lactose) so it was seen as a decent alternative to, well, letting the baby die if they didn't have access to a wet nurse.

So if you're writing for a character in a medieval setting who doesn't have access to a wet nurse for the under 1 year old infant they suddenly have, goats milk is what you'd be using. Just keep in mind that they wont be as healthy as a breast fed child of the time.

You could probably get around it if you do some research on what natural extracts could have been used to increase nutrients. And if you have a fantasy setting then you could use some "magic herb" or potion situation to fix the issues.

And to be clear, 'not as healthy' doesn't just refer to the non-ideal nutrition creating vulnerabilities.

There's also 1) the immune system gets a lot of its initial calibration via breastfeeding, so the baby is more vulnerable to disease on that front 2) high risk of food poisoning in a body not equipped to handle it. Milk straight from the teat hasn't really had a chance to acquire contaminants; anything else you can consume in a pre-industral-regulations-and-biocidal-lasers setting (and most of what we eat now, to a lesser degree) has some.

Weaning was always a spike point in infant mortality (and remains so in areas with underdeveloped or damaged sanitation infrastructure) because of the massive increased burden on the fragile young body of Dangerous Things, mainly bacteria. The lower the age, the higher the risk.

If it's under two months old, this goat-milk-fed baby's survival is firmly in the realm of unlikely, if not straight-up improbable. Not impossible! But the adults' emotional states should probably reflect that this is a fairly dire medical scenario from the jump.

My favorite Bl book

Allure of the Siren, Temptation, Deception and Redemption.

I recently read the book Allure of the siren written by C.L.Ramos, a black author who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community.I came to read the book by chance as one of my friends recommended it to me.The Allure of the siren tells the story of two rival detectives, Chaisai and Dao, who initially clash over a high-profile case but eventually find themselves drawn to each other in an unexpected way amidst the chaos of Bangkok.

What makes this story different from other Bl books is the is the skillful character development and how the author has masterfully woven the Plot. Instead of all powerful characters, we are met with two brilliant yet vulnerable men , who seem to be afraid of love. Chaisai and Dao's competitive banter and sharp minds make for a dynamic and engaging partnership, both in solving cases and navigating their blossoming romantic feelings.

Both Chaisai and Dao are plagued by their own demons that haunt them, but they ,like the common public , persevere. There's a sense of realism in the book , and the readers can truly resonate with the characters.

Honestly, this book resonated with me very much. This story is a mixture of all flavours ranging from mystery, fear and sadness to absolute joy and relief.

The author seriously discusses the issues of society and the problems faced by the modern day youth. The passion, the frustration, the rage ,the hatred, the fear,the thwarted desires that Chaisai and Dao feel truly resonate with the reader.

The writer shows that even between the corrupted politics, and the power hungry people who rule the upper echelons of society, the naive , promising passionate youth can truly make a difference.

The author's brilliantly camouflages modern day issues and themes of society, corruption , sexuality between sweet lines in between the pages of the book.

So I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to buy and read it.
