Content Warnings

Graphic: Classism, Sexism, War, Violence, Pregnancy, Deportation, Slavery, and Racism

Moderate: Blood, Murder, Child death, Gaslighting, Grief, Infidelity, Colonisation, Gun violence, and Medical content

Minor: Pandemic/Epidemic, Mental illness, Death of parent, Miscarriage, Forced institutionalization, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Medical trauma

It's based on history, so it includes the messier aspects but tries to handle them delicately.
