Meet Waffles & Tanya!

See that kid on the left? That’s Wen, but his mom calls him “Waffles.” Because he likes pancakes. She thinks that’s funny. Anyway, monster-movie buff Waffles has to spend the summer with his Grandpa in Shriekport, Maine. Lucky for him, Grandpa used to be a makeup and special-effects artist for monster movies, and he’s got a whole basement full of props that need organizing.

See the kid on the right? That’s Tanya, and she lives next door to Grandpa. She also accidentally broke one of Grandpa’s windows, and offered to help him organize his basement in return. Tanya loves monster movies, too (you name it, she’s seen it), so digging through the movie props isn’t exactly a punishment.

Tanya and Waffles hit it off, and it seems like it’s going to be a great summer for the two friends, which is usually when something unexpected and decidedly awful happens. And that something is called The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles, the spooky middle-grade novel written by me (Steve Behling) and illustrated by Robb Mommaerts.

I’d be grateful if you’d check it out! Which you can do so quite literally at your library! Click that link to see if your library carries it. If not, you can ask your librarian to order it! Libraries and librarians are awesome.

I think there's a difference between Sunset and the Dazzlings

I remember in that The Mane Event chapter book based on Rainbow Rocks at a bookstore which I never bought.It had like a spot at the end where you could write your feelings sort of like a diary. It said something like "Do you ever feel like doing the same thing over and over again?" Like in reference to the Dazzlings, and if you look at the Dazzlings vs. Sunset, you can see a big difference.

Sunset Shimmer changed. The Dazzlings didn't.

Throughout Rainbow Rocks, and in between, Sunset had to change and work towards being a better person. It was hard and messy and people didn't forgive her right away all of the time, but it was what ultimately defeated the Dazzlings in the End.

The Dazzlings on the other hand? They simply used basically the same tactic they used for like 1,000 years. Yes they were immediately liked, and it yielded results and they got scarily far, they were ultimately defeated because they underestimated Sunset's ability and want change.

They recognized that Sunset did something bad, and was ostracized for it and for good reason. They used it against her to shut her down and make her feel insecure. It was Sunset who had to take the long messy road of change and commit to it, and and as stated before, she was the one that asserted herself when it was needed, and was the one that carried The Rainbooms in that final battle. (The only one who didn't have one of those bum-ass outfits might I add. She at least looked the least terrible out of The Rainbooms.)

Maybe they knew Sunset was a threat, but underestimated that she was a threat that could get back up.

Even in like their powered up forms. Sunset's form is one that came with her redemption and solidifies her as a Rainboom. The Dazzlings were using projections of their original forms from 1,000 years ago. Maybe they were stuck in the past.

While the Dazzlings were immediately adored, it was fake and evaporated after the spell was lifted, while when people start to warm up to Sunset, although it takes a while, it's real.

Whether or not it was intentional, I may never know, but I like this.

But not this wtf

When I figure out how to redesign these it’s over for y’all these girls deserve so much better than the outfits they got BECAUSE

I got this book a while ago and went back to reading it after months of burnout and being busy. Usually I don’t finish chapter books after reading the first few pages, but after going back to this I want to read more. It’s a very loving, tender, relatable, and perceptive book that I highly recommend. The author written this book with love. For a while now, I’ve been on a journey discovering myself and this book has really helped me in embracing my sensitivity more and I think others should do the same 💗🫶🏾
