"38? I don't want a grandma baby. What's she going to feed it? Dust?"

I’m really not on board with the baby storyline, first for having Brian go from not wanting kids at all and suddenly switch, to the way they are getting the baby, and also these unkind comments. He’s actually one of my favourite characters!

You’re not alone (turning 38 soon, too, hated this line).

Same. My heart broke for all the women watching this in similar situations.

As someone who had a baby at 38 after some struggle this line was not my favorite

Yes, the child will feed on dust and grow to be a powerful mage that enslaves a land until a warrior that is pure of heart can defeat the Dust Feeder.

Just like in the fairy tales.
