The CDC "development milestone" guidelines are helpful here for figuring out what kids are capable of doing at any given age. It's important to remember that kids younger than 4 can probably string a few words together like "I go pee-pee!", kids younger than 3 can maybe put a noun and a verb together, kids younger than 2 can vocalize simple, single words usually, and kids younger than 18 months are still finding words, but most of their sounds are "Da!" and pointing. It's good to contemplate stuff like this, because their thought patterns are pretty similar, and there's nothing worse than writers ascribing complex thoughts that involve social cues and much more mature feelings to pre-K kids.

You're referring to the series by @Alex Bridges called "Done Adulting Volume 2"

Historical Inaccuracies (Completed)
WBDaddy replied to TheUnknownAuthor's topic in Story and Art Forum
It was intended as such. While I can only take Oronofsky films in small doses (for the sake of my mental health), I do enjoy them. I've watched Pi probably 20 times, Requiem at least 5, and The Fountain at least three. -

WBDaddy replied to TheUnknownAuthor's topic in Story and Art Forum
Well, I finally came back and gave it a full read. Feels like you channeled Darren Oronofsky for this plot, except his ending would've had Lina trapped in her machine and Katie/Tim deciding it was super-bad for the world to know about this machine and destroying it. Or something similarly bleak. Really, the mindfucking from every angle during the second arc was brilliant. Great job! -
Can I just say, the author indicated 6 months ago that there were conflicting priorities, one most likely involving them getting paid (which this story does not), and it's really frustrating to see this story get bumped by someone other than the author, because I'd love nothing more than the author to update us on the situation, and every time someone bumps it, I have to assume that they just beat me to first reply on an author update, only to be disappointed by the fact that it is nothing more than someone yelling "M0aR pL0x!"

Yep. The author is doing a nice job of demonstrating to us the extremely childlike imagination the MC has gained since being isolated all that time.

Someone told him he had diarrhea of the mouth, so he took action to remediate. If only that's how 911 worked in this country.

Yeah, the lawsuit is thin at best. Looks like a weak money grab, especially since these people weren't actual members of the HOA.

I mean, I'm "from" Alaska, but I haven't lived there since I was 2 months old...

I'm such a perfectionist (3 years of medical transcription will do that to you) that I generally don't need to revise. Not saying I'm perfect; I do miss stuff because I don't go back and re-read, but the errors are so rare I don't worry about it unless I decide I want to publish something (which hasn't happened yet).

First person or third person?
WBDaddy replied to Tinybabyboy76's topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
So, if you do first person (1P), you are literally barring yourself as the narrator from telling people what other people are thinking or what they're doing if you (the main character) are not in the room or otherwise privy to the conversation. If you switch off and talk about what someone else is thinking or what they're doing off-camera (because the camera is the eyes of the main character), then you're breaking the narrative and ruining the suspension of disbelief. The same is true if you operate in third-person limited (3PL), where we're only talking about what one person is doing. But third-person omniscient (3PO) gives you the freedom of telling people what is going on everywhere. The flip side is, 3PO creates an *expectation* that you talk about what everyone is doing. Personally, I like 1P or 3PL for stuff that really just centers around the main character and I don't really want anyone to care about anything else. 3PO is best suited for a story where there are a lot of little subplots that involve some of the characters some of the time and others at other times. -

So good to see you back, @SashaButters! -
Historical Inaccuracies (Completed)
WBDaddy replied to TheUnknownAuthor's topic in Story and Art Forum
You know, I stopped in here a while back for a casual skim (as I do in every thread) to see if the story hooked me, and it didn't, so I left. But seeing this bit of information makes me want to give it a second try, maybe put a little more effort into the read and see if I can pick up on the vibe you're trying to give off here. Because this is an ambitious approach, in some ways even tougher than tackling believable second person narrative in a long form story, and I respect your vision enough to give it another shot. -
Caught you wearing diapers in public good thing?
WBDaddy replied to ken2988's topic in Diaper Lovers
Dude, I dated older women most of my life, and no, 13 years isn't that big an age gap. -
Merry Christmas, Baby [Final chapter added Dec 24]
WBDaddy replied to Allman90's topic in Story and Art Forum
And there it is. The whole house will now know, and there will be no escaping the humiliation. Only question left is, what will Jackson tell Grammy? She's been wearing them for days? Weeks? Months? -
diaper dimension The [[Witch]] - Chapter 25 (09/05/22)
WBDaddy replied to ImprobableLemon's topic in Story and Art Forum
That opening is full of possibilities. Makes me wonder if your aim is to literally destroy the Diaper Dimension, while Witch and her friends teleport themselves somewhere else because no one but no one can hang with those "angels"... -
Merry Christmas, Baby [Final chapter added Dec 24]
WBDaddy replied to Allman90's topic in Story and Art Forum
Called it. Also, this sounds a bit like a story I've seen elsewhere, only the genders were reversed. -
Had to think about how to say this, but I decided to just do so. 1) I have two more chapters in the bucket, but I have held them back because my commissioner gets first look, then my Patreon subscribers, then everyone else. 2) I have the chapter after that already halfway done - that's the part I'm struggling with. 3) I have huge portions already written for later in the story. I know the rest of arc 2, I know arc 3, and I know the resolution. The story is already there in my head. I just have to get over little road bumps, and that's been hard because I started a new day job (because Patreon doesn't pay $52K a year, and I doubt it ever will, even if I went full time writing) that has demanded most of my mental energy. If you are patient, you will get the rest of the story that's already there. And it'll scratch a lot of the itches you've delineated here. If not, well, I'm sorry my output didn't meet your requirements.

The whole pace and tone of this tells me him being caught is going to be much worse for her than him. -
I am not a little girl! (Really!) (Scene #214 posted 12/6/23)
WBDaddy replied to Alex Bridges's topic in Story and Art Forum
This was a scene that I wish I could relate to, but even though there was a childhood home, it was a hellscape for me, and I no longer speak to my mother. The only person from that time period that I miss was my grandfather, and I got the best closure (and the happiest memories, including some wonderful follies) I could ask for when he came to my house in Virginia for Thanksgiving a few months before he died. A couple years ago, my wife and I drove by that old place when we were up in New England (owned by someone not in the family), and I felt nothing. Or, at least, I didn't feel enough to be moved. And that was a good thing. All that said, you did a great job of illustrating a feel that I've no doubt lots of people feel. Enough to where I really wished I could feel it.- 1,287 replies

diaper dimension The [[Witch]] - Chapter 25 (09/05/22)
WBDaddy replied to ImprobableLemon's topic in Story and Art Forum
Feel that. I wasn't actually informed of my firing at the end of October (while I was rehabbing from carpal, cubital, and radial tunnel surgery on my right arm), I found out myself when I tried to sign in and check my work e-mail and found I was locked out of the server. Fortunately for me, I hated that job anyway, and had already taken the opportunity rehab afforded me to sniff around for a new position, and I had just completed my third interview for one that I wound up getting a few days later, with a 66% raise and a bevy of benefits including 100% company-paid health insurance. May you have similar good fortune. It's not like there's any lack of openings in your field at the moment. -
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say those were pig knuckles. Quite tasty, but they did themselves no favors with this photo.

Shoot, I have a particular flavor of a particular brand of zero-cal drink I like that's hard to find consistently in stores. I found it on Amazon by the case, and I decided to take advantage of the subscription option for a 5% discount. Lo and behold, the next shipment, the price had DOUBLED. I cancelled the shipment and was able to order it for the price I paid on the original order. THAT is some sneaky shit.
