I love seeing all your fandom origin stories! Mine was when I was 5 and picked out Meet Molly from my school’s library, and my grandmother read it to me after I got home from school. I read almost all the books from our library’s little American Girl section (although not all in order)! It’s been an on-and-off obsession ever since, probably the oldest one I’ve ever had.

I did see the little photos and mail-in cards that showed the dolls in the backs of the books, but had no idea they were primarily a doll brand—for a few years I thought the dolls were a fun side thing, probably much to the relief of my parents’ wallets.…

American Girl fans of Tumblr, what was your very first exposure to the brand?

Mine was finding a Meet Kaya book in my primary school's library.

#american girl #american girl dolls #dolls #toys #books #children’s books #children #fandom #stories #textpost #maya’s musings #another embarrassing fun fact/piece of Maya Lore™️:#so you know the pages at the beginnings of the books that show every girl and their story’s year in order?#when my grandmother was reading ‘meet molly’ to me we started with that page #and i pointed to the oldest one (kaya whose year is 1764) and was like ‘were you alive then?’#and was actually kinda disappointed to hear that she was ‘only’ as old as molly’s decade (the 1940s)#and my grandfather was ‘only’ as old as kit’s decade (the 1930s)#so i sort of credit that with being the first time i got actual perspective on historical timelines/events at age 5 #another fun/embarrassing piece of Maya Lore™️ is that i also think american girl was my first exposure to the concepts of race and racism #i brought home ‘meet addy’ from the library and my grandmother read that one to me too #and i’d never heard of the civil war or slavery before (since i was 5) so my grandmother explained it to me #(quite well actually considering she wasn’t born or educated in the us and immigrated here at age 29!)#and at the end of her explanation i was like ‘does slavery still exist?’ and she was like ‘no…abraham lincoln…blah blah blah’#and then i asked ‘do black and white people still exist?’#somehow in her whole explanation she’d forgotten to mention that this was based on people’s skin color and ‘black’ meant dark brown-skinned #so i just thought ‘black’ and ‘white’ were arbitrary categories given to people #and addy looked like my african american friends at school for totally unrelated reasons #like i said—embarrassing but kinda fascinating look into a young child’s mind and view on race!

By the way, if it was Harry Potter or Percy Jackson please don’t answer because I’m trying to see what else people loved. Also, children’s, not YA.

Mummy Man!

The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles, as photographed by Mummy Man artist Robb Mommaerts!

If you’re up for a book featuring a goofy, heroic mummy, his pet turtle, and a couple of misfit kids mixing it up with a spooky horde of B-movie monsters, then this is the book for you! Written by me (Steve Behling, the That’s Believable guy) and illustrated by Robb Mommaerts, it’s a middle-grade romp that John Patrick Green (creator of the InvestiGators graphic novels) calls, “A nonstop thrill, chill, and slimy spill ride!”

I’m very proud of this one — eight years in the making. It would mean the world to me if you’d give it a try!

You can get a copy HERE, or ask for it at your local library!

Me: aww there’s a kids book seriesabout a prince and a knight who fight a dragon and then fall in love! what a lovely positive lgbt+ message for my kids—

Also me: oh my god Roman has his own fairytales ROMAN HAS HIS OWN FAIRYTALES—

Prince & Knight written by Daniel Haack p. 2018

Tale Of The Shadow King written by Daniel Haack p. 2021

🤴🏻⚔️🐉🏰

(These aren’t books about Roman for the record but they are gay fairytales and they are so sweet and have such a positive message in both of them ❤️)
