When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sandpaper. They may scratch you and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.

some of my favourite quotes from The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell

(for self-indulgence lol)

"Consider yourself warned. My story is not one that ends with a happily-ever-after." - The Evil Queen

"Right now, we're living in an ugly chapter of our lives, but books always get better!" - John Bailey

"Sometimes we forget about our own advantages because we focus on what we don't have." - John Bailey

"Have you really come to eat me? I thought you'd have learned your lesson by now. I bite back." - Goldilocks

'I fell in love. I fell into a love so deep it was unlike anything I've ever known. I never thought this kind of love was real. It's as if I am no longer living for myself anymore, but for her. So, I must find a way back. I must find a way to see her again.' - John Bailey

"I'd rather die trying than live the rest of life wondering if I could have done it." - John Bailey

"Some annoying little girl told me once that optimism always pays off, and she's usually right about things." - Conner Bailey

"It doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place." - Cinderella

"No matter what you do, you can never please anyone. And that was the hardest lesson to learn." - Cinderella

"If I had to be enslaved for life with someone, I'm glad it's her." - Conner Bailey

"Would you rather die in your cell or die trying to get back the life they stole from you?" - Alex Bailey

"Well, I know what it feels like to think the whole world is against you." - Alex Bailey

"I keep the spindle as a reminder that even the worst curses cast by the most powerful enchantresses can eventually be overcome." - Sleeping Beauty

'The fairy tale had always romanticized the bravery of the young prince and the horror of the curse that had been cast upon the land, but it had failed to mention what a strong and brave woman the sleeping beauty truly was.'

"Try giving 𝘮𝘦 a poisoned apple, and I'll shove it down your throat." - Goldilocks

"Courage is one thing that no one can ever take away from you." - Goldilocks (obviously i had to include this infamous quote)

"I've done many terrible things in my time, but many terrible things have been done to me over time as well. So, as far as I'm concerned, the world and I are even." - The Evil Queen

"I think what I've learned from all of this is that 𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 are mostly just people villainized by circumstance." - Alex Bailey

'By sunrise, they would be the most wanted fugitives in the world, but, at last, they were in each other's arms.'

"It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt or how much you're hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts." - Froggy

“But What If we’re in Your Story.”  Arthur asked “Mayhap this is all just a chapter in a book about you. Maybe Someone is reading it right now, in a world far away, and they know you are making a mistake.  You said yourself that there are versions of me—So Let this version be with you. Let another Arthur somewhere else fulfill the legend.”

King Arthur to Alex Bailey [Page 394 of Land of Stories Book 4: Beyond the Kingdoms Paperback Edition]

The above Quote From Land of Stories Book Four: Beyond the Kingdoms Reminded me of the following Quote from Never Ending Story

The Childlike Empress:

It was the only way to get in touch with an earthling.

Atreyu:

But I didn't in touch with an earthling!

The Childlike Empress:

YES YOU DID! He has suffered with you. He went through everything you went through, and now he has come here with you. He is very close, listening to every word, we say.

Bastian:

WHAT?

the culture impact of glee, for the uninitiated

okay YEAH I'm starting glee discourse in the year of our lord 2024 due to recent events on the gay firefighter show. so for those who don't understand why josh's speech on 911 this week was so important, here's a brief run down of the impact glee had on queer history.

glee, also created by ryan murphy, began airing in 2009 and ran for six seasons before ending in 2015. for all ryan murphy's crimes™, his contribution to queer representation in media has been incredibly influential especially in the early 2000s-2010s. at age nine, kurt hummel from glee and mitch and cam from modern family were the first queer characters I remember encountering. representation of any kind was still so hard to come by on television, let alone stories where queer characters got to have happy endings. in 2009, chris colfer (who played kurt on glee) was one of the youngest openly gay actors in hollywood, being just 19 years old when they started the show. throughout its run, glee introduced several additional queer characters and story lines that dealt with real issues queer people experienced such as being closeted, coming out, homophobia - external and internal.

only 33% of Americans supported same-sex marriage when glee started airing, and "even among millennials — Glee’s target audience — just 51% were in favour at the time."

the support for marriage equality jumped to a record high of 60% as glee was airing it's final episodes. same sex marriage was legalised in the usa in 2015, just months after the final episode of glee aired. a season six episode features a double wedding for a wlw couple and a mlm couple where a lesbian, a bisexual woman and two gay men get to experience a day of joy and celebration surrounded by friends and family, despite having to cross state lines to marry legally. and yes, as stated in the above quote from this article and the speech josh gave on 911 this week, glee had its fair share of problematic moments. plenty of stuff on that show (as is the case with many ryan murphy shows) is not what we'd class as "good representation" today. and it's not perfect yet either. biphobia is still prevalent in bisexual arcs, wlw representation is still far behind mlm representation, and it's hard to convince networks to go for anything that's not cis male queer rep. but it's important to show grace for the media that helped us get to the state of queer representation we do have now. shows like glee have been credited with changing the minds of many of the people who were initially against marriage equality, purely by exposing them to stories about lgbtq+ people and their experiences. and glee was HUGE. one of the biggest shows on television when it was airing - it brought in millions of viewers weekly, hundreds of glee covers climbed the charts, it won awards, the cast sold out national and international tours. we get to have characters like josh and hen and karen and buck and tommy BECAUSE OF shows like glee that came before. so yeah, it wasn't just ryan murphy worship on another ryan murphy show, the pre-glee/post-glee timeline was a "genuine unit of culture measurement" as @autisticjoshrusso put it here.

on a personal level: I watched glee every week as it aired from age 9 to 15. so much of the way that I am today (my sense of humour, my love for performing, my taste in music) is because of this show. I've seen it countless times, but didn't fully realise how much it meant to me as a piece of queer media until I was in my early 20s, so this is a topic I'm very passionate about. I owe ryan murphy my life and I also want to hit him with my car <3 anyway. stream teenage dream (glee cast version)

The hero of Chris Colfer’s next book series is no ordinary boy.

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers announced Tuesday that the actor and million-selling author is working on “Roswell Johnson Saves the World,” which the publisher calls a space fantasy that “combines the heart-pounding action of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’” and “thrilling real-world science.” The title character is an 11-year-old named for the city in New Mexico where mysterious debris found in 1947 led to conspiracy theories about alien life, which the boy himself will learn about first-hand.

“Roswell Johnson Saves the World” is scheduled for publication on June 4, 2024.

“I’ve never had so much fun writing a book,” Colfer said in a statement. “These characters had me laughing out loud and I spent hours researching everything from astronomy to entomology. After reading about Roswell’s adventures through space, I hope my young readers are as fascinated by science and our galaxy as I am. To quote the book, ‘Curiosity will fuel your imagination and take you places the fastest spaceship could never reach.’”

Colfer, who became famous for his Golden Globe-winning role as Kurt Hummel in “Glee,” is known to readers for such best-selling series as “The Land of Stories” and “Tale of Magic.”
