will present day (not like modern present day but like,, current-in-lucky-child present you get me?) kurama ever find out about the happenings in daughters of destiny? because i was reading your newest chapter (absolutely beautiful, by the way!) and i just got curious.
That’s a good question! And thanks so much for reading both LC and DoD. :)
TL;DR version: Spoilers! The ending of Daughters of Destiny will reveal all.
Long version: This is actually slightly complicated because I’m an impulsive brat (NQKagome isn’t a self-insert, but she does take after me in some respects like that). More under the cut and this Kurama GIF.
I created DoD mostly on a whim. I intended it to be a fun little side-story in which I could indulge the readers of LC who were clamoring for a full YYH/Inu crossover, with Kei visiting the Inuyasha Feudal Era…not to mention indulge myself. Hey, I deserve to have fun sometimes, too! :P
While I knew a Feudal Era visit wouldn’t fit in LC, it was so tempting an idea that I just hauled off and started writing it. Couldn’t resist! The events of the story came to me very quickly, and since I had it in my head that this would be a small little side-fic of piddling importance (basically just an AU scenario!), I didn’t put much effort into reconciling its plot with the events of LC. Mainly, I just wanted to explore NQKagome’s complicated reincarnation cycle (Real!Kagome was a reincarnation of Real!Kikyo and they had the same soul, but NQKag took Real!Kag’s place; how will that affect her relationship with Kikyo and that whole reincarnation scenario?)
Alas. As my ideas are wont to do, this story has thoroughly run away with itself.
The plot hasn’t changed (it remains identical to my original concept, and the goal of exploring Kagome’s origin is the same as ever), but after I got five chapters in I realized that revealing some backstory events could really add to the overall arc of the story’s themes/plot and give it a more satisfying resolution (hence the addition of a new chapter 01 last week). BUT that new chapter opened a lot of doors to some cool LC-bleeds, where DoD evolves from a side-story to a true companion piece, and…
Basically, DoD is more important than I intended. And while I didn’t initially intend for it to really impact Lucky Child, apparently the story has other ideas. I can’t really say why or how it will impact LC without spoilers, however.
So…yeah. The ending of Daughters of Destiny will definitely reveal how the story impacts Lucky Child, because that impact matters, and it will definitely reveal what present-day-Lucky-Child-Kurama does or does not know about the events of Daughters of Destiny…or at least what he suspects about said events.
NQKeiko, as always, loves to keep secrets. <3
(NOTE: No one will EVER have to read Daughters of Destiny to understand Lucky Child. The works are still very separate despite their deepening relationship. DoD will basically provide context for events that will happen in, like, chapter 75 of LC, and deepen reader understanding of how certain people know each other and whatnot. But not having read DoD will never render the events of LC inscrutable, so go ahead and skip reading if such an overt crossover isn’t your jam. No harm done!)
Between the “alt right,” and the Roy Moore style “evangelicals,” it’s possible that someone would add poorly-tested chemicals to the water supply in an attempt to “restore American masculinity” and/or “protect against [male] homosexuality,” and end up accidentally encouraging lesbianism and accidentally feminizing people’s brains.
FACT: Since the tranny revolt, something like 72% of American males have started taking female hormone and/or calling themselves womyn.
FACT: It's getting harder and harder to find Lesbian spaces, and to keep male-to-transes out of Lesbian spaces.
FACT: Heterosexuals and males/male-to-transes (and the porn lobby) have already brought MRID into womyn's communities.
FACT: As B. J. has noted, about 80% of children born after artificial insemination have been born male. Dworkin and their successors have tried to cover this up by randomly assigning half the children male and half female.
FACT: Raymond warned us that male scientists would try to reduce the proportion of womyn, and male rulers would try to claim the remaining womyn for themselves. (pp. 140-141 in the 1994 edition.)
FACT: Because of this, we have a ticking demographic time bomb. If we don't do anything, 70%+ of the population will be male-to-transes. Steinem and Raymond were able to counter this by preferring bio-wbw females in immigration policy, but after the "equal rights amendment," the courts have overturned this. Raymond should have closed the sperm banks and funded parthenogensis research instead of allowing insemination.
FACT: America *cannot* remain a Lesbian nation if we have a male or male-to-trans majority!
(Note: Some of these facts are ... doubtful ... or deliberate misinterpretation.)
I don't see why any one has to be any sex other than female at all!
,,, it's from Sisterhood a children's movie about two lab rats who escape from a cia lab and bring the secrets of what will become lesbian concentrate to womonkind.
The Monthly Leave Act, introduced to provide paid sick leave to workers with dysmenorrhea, is a classic attempt to reform capitalism in the WSA and AWSA. In 1976, when it was first introduced, the bill would have provided monthly leave to all workers; this attracted opposition from anti-feminists and business interests, who opposed it entirely, and later from right-wing feminists who opposed its sex neutrality. In 1989, then-President Jan Raymond signed a very different bill, which limited monthly leave to those "born and socialized female;" even this came under criticism from B. J., who advocated limiting monthly leave to those "born bearing wombs." In order to keep businesses from hiring people who could not take monthly leave in preference to those who could, the act included a system of subsidies and quotas, with certain exemptions. In 1996, after the overthrow of the Raymond administration and the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, the provisional Supreme Court overturned the Raymond era Monthly Leave Act. In 1997, after new elections, Congress passed the Universal Monthly Leave Act.
