Little Tikes Story Dream Machine Review

The Little Tikes Story Dream Machine Starter Set is a fun way to make storytime more engaging for kids. With its colorful lights and sound effects, this device brings stories to life. Designed for children aged 3 and up, it includes three classic Little Golden Book stories: The Poky Little Puppy, Tawny Scrawny Lion, and The Saggy Baggy Elephant. It even doubles as a white noise nightlight to help…

"I could never in a hundred summers get tired of this."

My (very late) submission for sweet shroud summer hosted by @cloudcountry!

I really wanted to get this done sooner, but I got sick. So I've been playing catch up for fan events! I wanted to do something that I did during the summer when I was young. Catching fireflies and other bugs was underrated as a kid. And "firefly" is one of the cheesy nicknames Yume has for Idia.

I imagine on the Isle of Lament there really aren't a lot of the mundane types of wildlife; so I'd like to hc that Idia and younger Ortho didn't think fireflies were real and you only saw them in shows and anime.

(Present day Ortho has known their real but didn't want to embarrass his bro) Idk I think it could be very cute and and an awe moment for Idia to discover their real. Maybe that's a lil silly. ⸜( *ˊᵕˋ* )⸝

Also respectfully! All the wonderful submissions have just Idia so I felt like Ortho was getting left out so I really wanted to include him! ^o^

Do you listen to all the podcasts on the RQ network? I’m specifically wondering if you’ve listened to episode 3 of “Nightlight,” “Wilson’s Pawn and Loan.” It’s got that fresh, intelligent horror that I appreciate in your writing. I get the vibe you’d enjoy it if you haven’t listened to it already. If you’ve got thoughts about it, would you feel comfortable sharing?

The idea of having time to listen to every show on the RQ network fills me with an emotion I find hard to name, but no - I've currently only got space for a limited number of podcasts in my life and Rusty Quill network shows make up maybe a quarter of thise.

All that said, Nightlight is actually one of the shows in my regular rotation. I was a listener even before they joined the network and, yeah, 'Wilson's Pawn and Loan' is a great story. I've got a real soft spot for "the Devil comes calling" stories, and tests of resolve to say "no" to evil (as can be seen in both my novels!) I'll also say, if you've just started and are only on episode 3 then, oh boy, have you got some great episodes ahead of you - enjoy!

Ima apunch your Jax anyways

I mean if you're sure

Your fist fazes right though him it feels like nothing but a cold slightly burning sensation

When you recover and step back you realize your hand is missing it disappeared into a realm you are not part of

And you're not getting it back... sorry I tried to tell you that you wouldn't like the outcome

DUDE I keep having dreams where FR has some extremely niche rare dragon breeds I somehow don't know about or have but occasionally come across on the AH. Half the time they aren't even dragons, there's been like sharks and tentacled beasts and bugs and stuff. Last night it was just a literal horse. I don't know why this happens so often

It was Add.er.all. A.na.grams. Rashōmon, Rashōmon, Rashōmon. Ev.ery.thing's. Diff.er.ent. Rashōmon, Rashōmon, Rashōmon. You see, Add.er.all. A.na.grams. Rashōmon, Rashōmon, Rashōmon. Let it be! What it is!

Rashōmon! Rashōmon! Rashōmon!

Today is a very special day because today is the eleventh anniversary of Rise of the Guardians!

ROTG is very dear to me because it introduced me to the Guardians of Childhood book series by the wonderful William Joyce and opened the window that lit up the very dark room that was my life at the time and made me want to be a writer.

So, I decided to celebrate with a special moodboard of my OTPs, Katherine Shalazar/Jack Frost (Jatherine/Snow Goose) and Katherine Shalazar/Nightlight (Kathlight/Bedtime Stories).

Yes, they are the same couple, but just at different ages. Nightlight and Katherine are 12, and Jack Frost and Mother Goose are 18.

For those who don't know, Katherine Shalazar grows up to be Mother Goose, and Nightlight doesn't die; he grows up to be Jack Frost~

my brother can make me laugh without moving at all. he can make me laugh on command, just by existing, and there is no physical tell or indication that it is about to happen. it’s like he can will me to laugh and i will. of course we’re not telepathic, but we do speak in unison sometimes. we improvise like no one’s business. we could fool anyone into believing we are psychically linked. when i try to explain it, i sound silly saying it out loud, but i really CAN tell what he’s thinking. we exchange so much information just with a look. he can make me cry laughing and he doesn’t even have to move

There is this wistfulness about Nahida, of someone missing out on childhood.

She is 500 years old; she looks like I could cradle her to my chest and hide her from the world. She has all the knowledge at her fingertips; yet she didn't touch anyone or anything with her own hands for centuries. She can contemplate and understand meaning of words and situations; but be floored by experiencing them first hand with her own heart.

What did she feel when she first stepped barefoot on grass wet with morning dew? How did the river feel against her ankles for the first time? How different is the wind in her own hair? Is the sky bluer with her own eyes? Is the touch of another warming her heart and not only her mind?

It must be hard to carry the weight of being a god, of living for centuries and knowing the world in some way more than the other mortals around her. And yet she never had the chance of being a child. She wasn't cuddled under blankets and didn't share warm meals with anyone else. She wasn't praised for learning something new, even if she fumbled with it at the beginning. There was no one to explain to her why she felt something a certain way or that it was okay to feel it in the first place.

She is a god, and mortals or immortals expect her to know everything since conception, and isn't that just sad? Even if she knew everything there is to know, to experience it herself is overwhelming, exhilarating, terrifying, lovely, miserable.

Nahida's eyes are large and bright and the loveliest shade of green, like newly sprouted leaves in a dark and wet forest after an endless winter. And yet there is the yearning, the disconnect of who everyone wants her to be, and who she never got to be.

There is this wistful hope in her, that now she has time and space and freedom to actually exist in the world and not only in dreams.

Goodnight guys :)

I hope when you wake, the day is a better one than today. I hope that the air smells like rain and the sky is grey enough that you can just barely see the sun, and I hope it hums over your skin. I hope that you find a new song that you fall in love with and will memorize every word to. If you're awake late, please go to sleep <3 I love you.

Also! Drink water. Even just a sip!

Eat food that makes you feel good!

Practice a skill or read a book!

And most importantly, sleep well my loves.

honestly it fucks me up so much that my childhood memories are tinted a different color because we just don't use the same lightbulbs anymore. when I was a kid, incandescent bulbs were used more than LEDs, but by the time I was a teenager incandescent bulbs had been more or less phased out. it's a small change, but the difference strikes me at the strangest moments.
