I'll say this before and I've said it again: Timey Wimey shenanigans have always been confusing until the day the first time machine is invented. It turns "has been" and "will be" into "is" because time was no longer linear but a mess of gordian knot proportions that won't be solved until someone uninvents said time machine and some other idiotic genius made it instead of the original inventor who no longer makes any such device... You understand all that? No? Good. Moving forward... or is it back? whatever. DOCTOR!!! READY THE TARDIS!

hard to miss something that never existed... but if people were somehow aware of the altered timeline, where the internet and electricity once existed while simultaneously not having any substitute... the world would experience riots and acts of terrorism like nothing previously seen in recorded history.

Seven Seals, Seven Rings, and seven brides for the Scarlet King by Dr. Clef of The Foundation They gather round the natal bed, the foolish and the wise. They fear the child yet to be born, whose voice shall rend the skies. The faithful watch the forest for the coming of the King. Their lanterns bright, they wait at night for the new world he shall bring. The dragon waits in the shadows, his breath will scorch the land. The hero in the castle draws his sword and makes his stand. The princess in the tower is hidden far away. But nothing under heaven can keep The Groom at bay. They gather round with leering smiles, the soulless and the dead. Though her soul unwinds, the cruelest minds will keep her in her bed. The potter told his apprentice to prepare him seven jars. Six he made with grace and skill, the last his hands did mar. The cretin moon no more is howling, gone it's mourning black. In their dreams its face is prowling, come to take them back The King is in his courting clothes, the brides are in their beds. The unborn princes wait in sleep to raise their eager heads. The hens were in the henhouse and seven eggs did lay, till the fox crept in by dark of night and stole the eggs away. Six were broken by their bindings six no more shall sing. Comes the seventh full unwinding and all the bells will ring When the first had given birth, then all the birds did sing. Her screaming cries did shake the skies, as she called out for her King. By doctor's blade the second bade a life into the world. Untimely hewn neath a silent moon, the King's red flag unfurled. His bride the third remained unheard, her cries for help ignored. She stopped her life with a surgeon's knife, and gave it to Our Lord. The fourth prepares a dagger and places it at her heart. The perfect cure cannot make pure what the King has set apart. The fifth one's crown was bearing down upon the fox's set. The den was sundered with mighty thunder, an apocalypse beget.' On the sixth's day, the walls gave way, and the oceans turned to ash. Her birth gave work, as the earth shook, underneath the King's fell lash.' The seventh bride will break the tides the moon no more will shine. There comes a day not far away she'll birth the death of time. The doctor never tells his god which one he really seeks. Instead he hides himself away, and quietly, he weeps. Their god's own voice, he makes the choice, declaring with their word. "in fear and pain let her remain, lest she be like the third. The doctor's gun ended his run, as he put it to his ear. As she was defiled, the pitied child, he gave in to his fear. Her memory a fickle thing, the strongest shall endure. When her weeping starts to waver, their drugs make her mind pure.

never said you're wrong... just saying that it does fluctuate between the previously stated heights from census to census.

I apologize, but I had to skip to this chapter... The way you were describing Jacob's homelife in previous chapters is just too relatable to me and brings up bad memories. Good writing though

tends to fluctuate between 5'8 and 5'10, if you wanna get technical, but definitely agree with you for the most part.

well, I got it off of reddit... so be cautious of an toxic remnants from that site(just being on that site alone is toxic af, tbh).

Yes and no. As Lillith was first depicted in the Ancient Hebrew script of The Bible, so was the description of her. It can be translated and watered down to The Mother Of Demons(devils), The Mother Of Evil, or The Mother Of Monsters... As with all Spiritual and Mythological Beings/Entities the specifics really just depends on who is asked what, as well as their personal beliefs on the matter.

Probably only those who have it... the grass is always greener on the other side, after all; or some such saying.
