#44 Dawn and the Big Sleepover: Chapter 1

We start off this book with another plot device!

Chapter 1 starts with a babysitting job. Dawn and Mallory are babysitting the rest of the Pike Army, who are jumping around, asking to read some letters out loud. And it sounds like Dawn is taking a little dig at Mallory here:

Have you ever babysat for a family of eight kids? Well, welcome to the Pikes' house. Fortunately, sitting for them usually involves two of us members of the Babysitters Club. Unfortunately, eight kids is a lot, even for us.

So Mallory's back to being considered a babysitting charge? Geez, everyone truly does hate Mallory.

Right on page 2, Dawn starts in on describing herself. I think Peter Lerangis (the ghostwriter) didn't care much for the blatant California stereotype that Dawn was, because he has her clarify it: I used to live in California, and if you met me, you might say "It figures." I have long blonde hair and blue eyes, and I'm into health foods and sunshine (not that every California girl is like that, but that's what a lot of people think). Throwing a wrench into Ann M. Martin's grand scheme, you rebel, you!

Sign #1 you can tell this is a Lerangis book - Dawn introduces a new phrase to the reader, and says she read it in a book and thought it was funny. This time, she says she and Mallory were on the "horns of a dilemma." They're facing a crisis because all the kids want to read their letters from their pen pals. And there's our plot device!

The kids (or, at least the ones in 2-5th grade...sorry Claire) are involved in Pens Across America, and writing letters to kids from Stoneybrook Elementary School's sister school. Because this is a BSC book, Dawn takes offense at the term "sister school" and says it should be called "sibling schools" because all the kids participate. She does realize it's the schools being referred to as feminine, not the students, right? Lord help her when she learns a language with masculine and feminine nouns.

Anyway, the kids are writing letters to Native American kids from the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico.

The kids are all excited about getting letters from their pen pals, and Dawn says Vanessa's so happy, you'd think Rachel was a long-lost sister or something (as if Vanessa didn't have enough sisters). Ouch. Dawn is getting a lot of digs in at the Pike family today!

The Pike Army all crowds around to look at Rachel's picture, and Adam expresses disappointment that his penpal doesn't look like an "Indian," like he expected. The other triplets tease him, saying he wants to see headdresses and warpaint. One of the triplets does the extremely offensive "war cry" to tease him too. This book came out in 1991, by the way, so I assume none of this would fly now.

Thankfully, Mallory steps in and tells Adam that his pen pal is Native American. Indians are from India. You should know that by now, especially after three letters.

Adam complains a bit more - he was expecting his penpal to have a more Native American-sounding name, and he says Conrad White doesn't sound like one. He's 10 years old, Mallory gets all this at 11, but he doesn't and he's a year younger? Geez, 10-year-olds in Stoneybrook really are that immature!

Nicky and Margo suggest it could be short for White Horse or White Smoke Signals, but Dawn thankfully cuts all three of them off and says A lot of the pen pals have English-sounding names. It doesn't mean they're not Native Americans. Again, this is a little jarring to see now, 33 years later.

Vanessa whines that she wants to read her letter, so Dawn tells her to. Rachel, her penpal, thinks it must be fun to have triplets in the house. Left out from this scene is Mallory bashing her head against the wall. She keeps reading, and Rachel teaches us a little bit about pueblos and what adobe means. She signs her full name, Rachel Redriver, making Adam feel even more cheated out of a real Native American as a penpal.

Jordan's next, and Dawn says he stumbles over the big words in his letter. Uh...the only "big" word in this is Sha'la'ko. Is his reading level hovering in Claudia Kishi territory? Anyway, Jordan's pen pal describes what the festival Sha'la'ko is. I worked in a library at the time I originally wrote this and I remember flipping through a book about the Zuni and Peter Lerangis did describe Sha'la'ko properly. Ann thanked someone in the preface for their help in researching Zuni culture.

Also completely dating this book, Jordan's penpal asks if they have Nintendo and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in Stoneybrook. This book did come out in 1991 after all!

Jordan gets to the end of the letter and starts laughing. Vanessa snatches the letter away and reads out the final sentence, which is "My teacher smells like a cow!" in Pig Latin. Ew but totally a 10-year-old boy thing to write.

I think Lerangis fell asleep when he was writing this part, because then Claire calls Adam a silly-billy-goo-goo for some reason. He didn't do anything! Then Adam asks Jordan, "Did you teach Sam that?" and Dawn tells us Sam is Adam's penpal! We just went over this! Adam's penpal is Conrad White, the Zuni kid with a not Zuni-ish enough name for Adam!

Jordan reassures his brothers he made Sam promise not to tell anyone and Byron nods seriously because he's totes sensitive. Do they seriously think Pig Latin is some secret language? For one thing, Mallory taught it to the Arnold twins in an earlier book, so they should get on her case about that. They probably did because everyone hates Mallory.

Mallory quiets everyone down by suggesting they think of stuff to send their penpals, since they sent them school pictures. Dawn says Mallory's very practical and smart and cool under pressure and I agree with her. While the rest of the BSC is in freakout mode over stupid shit, she and Jessi can be the voices of reason sometimes. But Dawn says the problem is Mallory's parents are sooooo mean, because they won't let her wear wild clothes! How wild does Mallory expect to dress? Like Claudia level? Because I always thought Mallory's greatest desire was to wear sparkly sweatshirts and her parents reject those. Her parents did let her get her ears pierced, my parents wouldn't let me do that at 11.

Adam runs off because he gets a Great Idea (don't tell Kristy, she'll claim it as her own!) and returns with a Stoneybrook pennant. The other triplets joke they'll send it too. Dumb. Dawn calls them out on being uncreative so they go back to thinking. Byron comes up with bumper stickers, and Margo suggests decals. What 7-year-old knows the word 'decals'? Why didn't she just say 'stickers'? And how is that a better idea than a pennant...it's just another thing with Stoneybrook printed on it!

Mallory says none of those things are as special as their school pictures, but Nicky points out they don't have their school pictures yet. Yeah, Mallory! Dawn butts in and asks the kids to think of things they have in Connecticut that they might not have in New Mexico. Like....Stoneybrook souvenirs? Since the Pike kids aren't the brightest crayons in the box (and since this is the Pikes, it's got to be one of those giant boxes of 64 crayons), Adam and Nicky think of cable TV and rain. Cable TV doesn't exist in New Mexico?

The kids get to thinking about more personalized gifts to get their penpals and as we close the chapter, Dawn pretty much gives away the rest of the book:

That was back when the pen pal program was fun. Back when us older kids weren't involved. Simple. Easy. If only I had known what was about to happen.

Dun dun dunnnn!

[monellian]

So I had a slightly horrific idea. (not really horrific but my brain latched onto this and it has refused to leave my brain for like 3 days so here we are) what if the Undertale multiverse was warriorized?

So I drew some of them

Nightmare's warrior name is Nightcall, but you are only allowed to call him that if you're apart of his gang. Otherwise you are to refer to him and Nightstar and Nightstar only.

Killer's warrior name is Deathwhisper

Horror's is Dewblood

Dust's is Dustrunner

Cross's is Shardhawk

Dream's is Dreamsong

Blue's is Bluetuft

Ink's is Inkfall

Error's is Glitchface

Sans' (or Classic's) is Bonefrost

Red's is Redriver

Lust's is Woollybreeze

and Reaper's is Crowhunter!

Now, these were the ones I could think of names for, but everyone else I have no clue what their warrior names would be. If there's anyone you'd like to see drawn then give me a warrior name (and specify who the name is for-) and I'll draw them!

(I also don't own any of these characters I just drew em)

Hello! I love your artwork and am inspired by you. I wanna ask how you make your prints and stuff!

I’ve always wanted to run a shop, but I’m afraid of the whole copyright stuff since studios like Larian forbid selling fan art for profit. However I always wanna try it out because I CRAVE merch too.

Do you have any advice for people starting out? Much love! 💕

Thank you!!! I'm really flattered that people are inspired by my art! I'm really small so it means a lot to me!!! uou I genuinely wing a lot of stuff I do but I research stuff for fun so I'll spill what I got and what I've been through lmao. For prints I recently went back to making my own! I use an Epson ET-8550. It's a nice printer and a single bottle of ink will last a good while and costs only $18. Any nice inkjet photo paper (eg. RedRiver paper is very good but can be pricey) will do! Tho I'm personally still on a quest for a balance between quality and cost effective photo paper qwq On the other hand, Catprint is popular for outsourcing, and prob a better choice if you don't wanna buy a $600+ printer. Only downside with them is their colors are mid if you're used to the bright colors of self-printing due to Catprint using laser printers instead of inkjet, but they're not terrible! I used them for a while for bigger quantities. In terms of copyright, it's a huge gray area. There are many other, better explanations online on how artists can get away with selling fanart that my brain is too small to provide lmao. In layman's terms it's like...free advertising for franchises. They won't explode you for making a few hundo on art you made of their video game characters that they made millions on. But take that with a grain of salt I'm very small and confused myself :'D For starting online shops, I like Bigcartel! Etsy charges a bunch of fees from what I've heard, but they do a lot of the advertising for you if I remember right. Running your own shop requires advertising yourself which I still don't like doing so I just stick to Artist Alley at cons for the majority of my activity lmao. Oh and Pirateship is fantastic for cheap shipping rates! Anyways sorry for going off I have circus brain uhhh hope this helped!! I feel u on that craving merch itch tho. A lot of stuff I make are mostly byproducts of things I really want for myself salkdhdkl cries in like 50 Astarion pieces

Tree is Company

Here is a great egret (Ardea alba) and a couple of turtles on a log that I saw on the Red River flowing through Shreveport, Louisiana. I'm not certain of the turtle species but I think they may be two different species of turtle. Perhaps the turtle at the bottom is a red-eared slider, and the one closest to the egret a pond slider, but I'm mostly guessing. If you happen to be able to identify the turtle species, please share. My gallery contains more that 700 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:
