Algy was resting quietly near the edge of the forest, preparing to set off in search of his way home, when a large post bird swept into sight, flew around and around over Algy's head, and then dropped a book at his feet before flying off to make its next delivery.

Slightly taken aback, for he had no idea that anyone knew where he was, Algy picked up the book and found that it was his very own children's book, The Magical Midwinter Star, which had just been reissued in paperback with a new cover design.

Algy was fond of this story, especially at this time of year, for it reminded him of his difficult and sometimes dangerous quest to bring light and joy back to the darkness in his very first northern winter, years ago… He recalled the song, sung by a choir of tiny mice, that he had heard on the edge of just such a forest as this one, and the beautiful, magical star he had seen at that time:

By the light of the Midwinter Star, All the creatures would come from afar: To the trees that were green When all others were bare, And they picked out the prettiest Tree that was there, By the light of that magical star. By the light of the Midwinter Star, All the creatures would come from afar: With soft wool and shells And bright things they had found, They dressed the green tree Where it stood in the ground, By the light of that magical star. They dressed up that tree Till it glittered so bright That the birds and the animals Sang with delight, Then they all danced around it Throughout the long night, As the star shone above them So sparkling and white. If you travelled the world Just as far as you might, You never could see A more marvellous sight Than the dance of the forest On Midwinter Night, By the light of that magical star.

His discovery of the strange shiny objects in a rock pool, and his search in the depths of the Highland winter for a suitable tree to hang them on, had been quite an adventure! And it had very nearly ended in disaster… but happily, all was well in the end 😀

So Algy was delighted that the full story was available in paperback again, for it meant that if any of his friends around the world would like to read the story – or give the book to a child (or adult still young at heart!) – they would now be able to do so…

In order to make the book available to Algy's friends in many different countries around the world, it was necessary to use Amazon, and Algy apologises to those who would prefer to buy books elsewhere.

The Magical Midwinter Star – and Algy's other two titles in his series of illustrated children's chapter books Tales from the Adventures of Algy – can be bought from Amazon in most countries, in both paperback and Kindle ebook formats.

I think some people don’t realize homestuck is a story about storytelling.

I was thinking about people insisting the Epilogues, hs^2, or Beyond Canon aren’t canon. And like. Yeah, that’s the point.

What does it mean to be canon anyway? Stories that get tied up in neat little bows are hard to expand upon. What happens after the happily ever after?

You can take it the direction of mundane day to day fluff (candy) or send them on another world shattering adventure (meat) but neither one is really real because… it’s a story. Homestuck was never really real. They’re both real. None of them are real.

This is all so clearly spelled out in the post canon material that I’m forced to assume they just. Have not engaged in it and / or ignore it on principle.

I thought it'd be fun to draw every skykid I've ever created in one big art and hoo boy it was big XD

Oh yeah and I tried to do this all from memory (which is why Dragonet's lil dragon hood looks so wonky, i can't remember how it really looks like)

This isn't even all of them! There are a couple of shapeshifter kiddos who have all been only drawn once and only have a concept created, plus a few others who are very vaguely developed but for some reason I know exactly what they look like

In total there are about 50 of them in this art XD

Lily Between Worlds is a bit of an odd duck when it comes to classification. I'd have a YA (or just above) protagonist, but this is not a YA story. That implies something between child and adult, but actually, I'd want to blend those two categories. I'd want it to have the level-headed maturity of a story for adults, but the wonder and whimsy of a middle-grade story. I think of it like a Pixar story--something that's equally suitable for every age level, like The Electrical Menagerie. I don't know, it's just something to keep in mind if I want to develop this further.

Algy hopped up into a convenient Scots pine tree, well away from the cold, wet snow on the ground, and settled down to read his very own adventure tale The Magical Midwinter Star, which had just been reissued in paperback.

Algy turned page after page, excitedly going back in his mind to that past adventure from his very first winter in the wild west Highlands of Scotland, and he became so engrossed in his own story that he failed to notice that the magic pumpkin lantern, which he had balanced carefully on a branch between his feet, had once more transformed itself into a candle.

As the flame began to glow, Algy was in the middle of the chapter called Snow. Oh No! in which he decided that he would have to brave the dangers of the deep midwinter to search for a very special tree. Reaching the bottom of page 40 he read:

“When I was chatting with Wee Katie,” Algy said hesitantly, “she told me that, once upon a time, the creatures round here used to have a big party in the middle of the winter, to cheer everyone up when it was so cold and dark. She called it a hootenanny.” “A hootenanny!” echoed Mr Voles excitedly. “And when I asked Ruaridh if he knew what the silvery balls might be,” Algy continued, “young Flòraidh sang me some verses from an old song about a green tree and the Midwinter Star.” “The Midwinter Star,” Mr Voles murmured dreamily. “The Midwinter Star.” “The song mentioned dressing up the tree with pretty things,” said Algy, “but Ruaridh said that no one has done that for ages, because the old pine tree blew down.” “Quite so,” rasped Roni. “Quite so,” echoed Mr Voles regretfully. “Quite so.” Roni hopped over to the edge of the Singing Place and perched on the bare rock, staring intently at Algy. “Go on,” she rasped. “Go on!” echoed Mr Voles breathlessly. “Go on!” “Well, I was thinking” said Algy. “I thought that maybe, if I could find a suitable tree somewhere, I could use the silvery objects I found – I mean the baubles – to decorate it, and then we could all have a grand midwinter hootenanny like they did in the old days.” “A fine idea, in principle,” rasped Roni. “A fine idea!” agreed Mr Voles, jumping up and down beside Algy’s foot.

[Algy is reading his own illustrated children's chapter book The Magical Midwinter Star, which together with the other books in the series Tales from the Adventures of Algy is available from Amazon in most countries of the world.]

you know I don't think I've ever seen a fandom more concerned with whether character's parents are good or not other than the dcmk fandom and that includes FMA

Thank you @hijacksecrets for tagging me in this WIP game :D (those TotK sketches tho????)

I don't have much to show but I guess a little fic snippet at the end should be good!

(Hey you. Yeah you!! Do you have a WIP you can't wait to share?? Well now you're tagged and you Must show it)

First a sketch that I've long lost motivation on..... Maybe someday I'll finish this

And some Ineffable Husbands practice! I still have a long way to go before I can call myself satisfied with these

Finally, something from the fic! (Context? You don't need that)

The four approached the children, with Jack leading the way, but they didn't seem too pleased to see a group of strangers invade their territory.

"Who are you?" asked one of the older kids, a little girl around eight with a dirty chin and braided hair.

Rapunzel, obviously fascinated by the group, bent down at her level, leaning her hands against her knees. "We're just travellers looking around."

The little girl squinted. "Alright. What do you want?"

"We need to ask some questions," Merida said unceremoniously.

Rapunzel elbowed her.

"What? I've never got anything from my brothers by being nice," Merida defended herself.

A boy pointed at her. "Why aren't you wearing a petticoat like other big girls do?"

"'Cause it makes riding my horse uncomfortable."

"Where's your horse?"

"... He ran away."

It was enough to make the children even more suspicious. The younger kids hid behind the taller ones, frightened.

Hiccup raised his hands. "We just want to ask if you’ve seen anything strange in town lately," he said, hoping to sound reassuring.

The little girl stared at him without shame. "I'm not telling you anything, Skinnylegs."

Hiccup now remembered why every time he stumbled upon children in Berk, he crossed the street.

We need more details about how spirits work so I can write* Lohan/Dr. Yagi** without finding out down the line that Yagi would have been wayshadowed for doing old man yaoi in specifically proscribed ways.

*The use of the word "write" here most likely means "vividly imagine writing"

**In this scenario Lohan's wife is playing matchmaker

notable teacher moments #1

STORYTIME!!!

for initial context, i teach kindergarten.

one day, as we sat around a pretend campfire- roasting marshmallows and using books as firewood, a child handed me a purple sensory toy and told me it looked like a hedgehog. so naturally, i immediately called a town hall meeting to demand that this sponge be properly named.

long story short, i made Jerric the fucking Hedgehog my entire personality for the next three months of my life.

fast forward to present day, and our class pet has since been professionally fitted into a Vera Wang ballgown (don't fact check) and adorned with a matching Abe Lincoln top hat, that not only compliments his figure but his outlandish personality too.

he has a cage, renovated by the Property Brothers themselves (don't fact check). and my students now take turns taking him home for the occasional sleepover.

moral of the story? if you were to jump off a cliff, don't be surprised if a clan of thirty kindergarteners followed behind you.

the real lord of the flies was the friends we made along the way.
