I have a bumble-bee, his name is the Celestial Something, he is the god of skies, rainbows and rain.   An old fort had a rock lobster, she was the goddess of caverns and pregnancy.

I think the best way to deal with the issue is to give her a room so nice, it blows all the others out of the water-- this means
A. HUGE--size count, bigger is fundamentally better
B. Expensive--not just gem windows, or engravings or golden statues, but artifact chairs, tables, cabinets, chains, traps with artifact mechanisms and goblin bone weapons.

Check with R--if there is anyone even close, keep making it bigger, if you want her happy, put her in a burrow under a water reservoir, dig a ramp to the water runs downwards making fog.  Instant temporary happiness boost.*

*may cause accidental drowning, which I guess isn't bad

Also doesn't making you legendary weaponsmith baron ensure that she will never work again? I always make my marksdwarves barons, since they'll keep training/getting awesome even as lazy nobles (plus its always fun to design your baron's personal archery range/game preserve)

Why abandon with 50 crazed dwarves?  They can very much be recuperated and the sruvivors, few though there might be, will be hardened and unfazed by further tragedy.  Tantrum spirals are usually where the real protagonists of my forts appear--e.g. the chief medical dwarf with lots of blood on her hands, the last surviving miner/mason/craftdwarf, who only made it because he was dumb enough to accidentally wall himself in on the battlement seconds before everyone else topside died to a tantruming militia.

Hmm...that is a problem--I am being spammed by a child who wants his sock, which is in the sealed room with a bronze collosus.  Two dwarves missing their arms are constantly trying to get dressed, and you...you are suffering because someone is pumping out masterworks faster than the eye can see.

I've never been one to say this but-- try magma?

Serious derailment here--does anyone have input on running bees? I haven't gotten much use of out them either, but whip vines being easier is just not dwarfy! easy is dull, easy is not how soap gets made and loincloths get dyed, bees are hard, therefore a fort must be run entirely on bees, but how?

This is a masterful forgotten beast tooth figuring of Inena Omensensed created by Urist Avuzocig.  The item is a masterfully designed image of Inena Omensensed the hungry head in forgotten beast tooth by Urist Avuzocig.  Inena Omensensed is laboring.  The artwork relates to the settling of the hungry head Inena Omensensed in the Hill of Burials in 4.

What the...? Hungry head is laboring?

You're not alone-- I just savescummed a perfectly well won siege because the only casualty was the last of four children born to two legendary warriors, both of whom died in seconds of one another in an epic battle that forced the entire fort beneath the surface (and it was a surface fort). I was raising him to be a warrior like his parents, 15 years old and talented axeman, no way, I want to see him get older. Siege re-do
