STOP!!
I understand that many people prefer the Odysseus raising Astyanax AU because killing an infant is cruel. But you guys need to remember that cities have been doomed because people didn't dispose of their prophesied-to-do-evil babies correctly.
Oedipus was prophesied to kill his father and marry his mother, so he need to be rid of. The servant who was supposed to kill Oedipus spared and sent him away. Years later, Thebes lost its rulers and was wrecked with plagues.
Paris was dream-prophesied to cause the fall of Troy, so he need to be rid of. The shepherd who was supposed to kill Paris spared and secretly raised him as his son. You see what turned out for the whole city later on.
You see the resemblances with Odysseus' pleas?
"I could raise him as my own
Or send him far away from home
Make sure his past is never known."
Zeus weren't just being an unreasonable jerk for making Odysseus kill Astyanax. That child was prophesied to be the destruction of all surviving Greeks who sacked his city, whether out of his own rage or accidentally through some chains of events.
Odysseus knew the preceeding stories and how it had turned out. So he could only do what needs to be done if he wanted to save his family, his allies, and himself.
It's only one life to take to save thousands of other lives. For once, Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves was the right choice.

I think criticism is okay as long as it's constructive. If you are saying fuck your work, this sucks. Thats absolutely not okay. But some little advice, spelling error notice, something that will actually help writers. Is just fine to me. Of course depends on the person and if the author asks for it.
Publicly here involves anything that anyone in a broader community can see without having to join, say, a discord server. You can be more specific in the tags. If your answer would change based on which fandom or community the fic belongs to, vote for the option that best reflects the community most open to public criticism of an author's work.

I feel like Heket should be like a cookie jar and Kallamar has to be like a soap dispenser. But like a big one.
random thought, but massive monster should make shamura's head into a mug that you can eat soup out of
