I used to be completely happy in my appearance but it didn't make happy. Then I notice one flaw and there's unhappiness. So if it was a real story I can see why being beautiful didn't make her happy.

I'm trying to think if I want power now because there's different levels of it. I've decided I don't want to rule people because that's a chore and I'd be a target, but being an advisor or tactician to a ruler appeals to me.

pretty sure she wants both, but i'm not super well versed in the lore. she'd probably give up magic but i doubt she'd want to give up her
power (beauty is power).

i mean really "you can have kids again but you're also a deformed, unfuckable hunchback" is kind of a corrupted wish. i don't think she wants to turn back the clock, she just wants to be normal and happy without paying so steep a price? idk

When I get information overload I notice things, get intrusive thoughts and notice dirt. That's why I always throw up in Belfast and I'd focus on my fat. So ik I couldn't deal with stretch marks. I can make fat go away but not stretch marks.

I'd rather have no child than to lose the love and power that can come with beauty.
idk kafka the math ain't mathing here
"all the children they had" implies their beauty was not sufficiently diminished after their first child to prevent further pregnancies from occurring. in fact in a healthy marriage i suspect there's no more beautiful sight for a husband than the mother of his children.
