Pretty wild that you mention that book. I worked with Lois Lowry's grandson for several years.

I read that book in high school and it kickstarted a love of YA dystopian fiction, it was a surprise to me cause I read it assuming it'd be a regular teen novel like the Anastasia books! Loved it so much I gave it to my Mom to read. Film adaptation isn't terrible either

Also, Jasper Fforde's Shades of Grey books. (No, not that one. Completely different.)

I'm sorry, but rules is rules. If there's any mention of moray eels, someone has to have a crack at the song.

Really the only way to do it. "This prosecution was inspired by the brutality of ocean predators, hope you enjoy being mauled!"

I like beige as much as any other middle aged white man (which is to say: a lot), but even I know a nursery needs some damn colour. This is a nursery for adults. The child’s needs have not been considered.

What is this, a nursery for adults? It's going to need to be at least... *three times* more colourful than this!

A home for pod people. It looks so - dead.

The beige is bad enough on its own, but also they have a baby and that's a house full of imminently stainable furniture and carpets and a lot of concussion-friendly tables.

they probably have light features that do aurora-like colors in it for night times

Unlikely. This whole Sad Beige design is... A thing. Also would still be real bad if that was the case. Basically putting the ~aesthetic~ ahead of things that are actually important for early childhood development stuff.

well, to be fair there is ONE color: beige. it's a horrible, depressing "neutral" not-a-real-color imho but other people seem to think it's a color. it's probably Benjamin Moore's color of the year for 2021 or something 🙄
