Apparently you're not supposed to wash clothes and towels together? I live alone and it would take me at least a month to acrue enough towels to warrant a separate load, and I don't own that many towels.

“Omg you can’t write a book with demons in it” shut up. It’s Christian fiction. It’s an allegory. The demons are the bad guys. Furthermore it’s my book, stop telling me what to write.

Is it completely unrealistic for a medieval-ish fantasy setting to have pocketwatches? I really want this one character in particular to have a pocketwatch but this world doesn't even have steam power. Maybe it's an elvish invention.

I also want to normalize crafting parties where everyone brings a craft they're working on and everyone just sits together and chats while working on their separate projects
we need to normalize reading parties where we invite a friend or two over and share some drinks and snacks and spend a few hours reading together in cozy silence.
