Some journeys can only be made once. Some partings aren’t what they seem. Some endings must be so something else can begin.

Stitching Snow - R. C. Lewis

Sci-fi Snow White

Essie survives on a remote mining planet by fixing robots and winning bar fights. It's not much of a life, but it's better than the alternative. At least, that's what she firmly believes until the day a strange ship crashes near the settlement.

With the help of her seven customized mining drones, Essie repairs the ship and befriends its lone occupant, Dane, only for him to turn around and kidnap her! Now she is faced with a decision: to escape and find a way back to her quiet existence on Thanda, or to return with Dane to her home planet of Windsong where await her murderous stepmother and her father the king — who is far more corrupt than she ever imagined.

A fun little sci-fi romp!

More fairy tales

I'd respectfully argue this one as being finicky and highly situational depending on the context, especially with fiction. I'm not for "you can't read about x mature thing", but this is one of those areas where source and context matters WAY more than subject matter and I wish more parents (and teenagers, kids are gonna think it sucks regardless) would think that way. One of the few areas I'll helicopter to some degree because I'm young enough to remember being that kid.

If they're learning from and exploring the wrong sources with no outside input it's going to do damage. Not necessarily trauma, but it can push their views on those topics in uncomfortable directions if left unchecked. (Note: I say can. Not does.) It's a "taking the teacher at their word" moment, only the teacher is a young 20-something writing fanfiction on the internet and not properly tagging their shit.

(Pre-submit warning: Anecdote/tangent follows.)

Coming at this from the parent direction: I just screened a YA novel for Cat that, 300 pages in, veered suddenly into a 2-page almost-but-not-quite-went-all-the-way-because-it-was-interrupted SA between the protagonist and her father. (Admittedly I would have known about that scene had I read actual reviews rather than official blurbs, which omitted that particular warning for some reason.)

I finished reading it quite literally yesterday. It's not a loan; She bought this book. She'd started it before me. We are/were a "you will never be grounded from reading or have your books taken away for any reason" household. Making this decision to not give it back to her (yet) is weirdly one of the most conflicted parenting decisions I've made in her life so far, especially since the scene doesn't get explicit.

But.

I know at my kid's age, I would have read those pages out of curiosity even if they did "go there". They wouldn't have been upsetting, I was a tough-ass kid when it came to darker topics and reading. But I also know that at her age, I would not (and could not!) have had the experience I do now to see just how disrespectful and downright BAD the portrayal was in that YA novel. The kind of scene that is tossed in to spur emotional outrage or fear in the reader rather than contribute to the book in any meaningful way. Used as a tool for rage-bait.

I love her, and she is incredibly intelligent for her age, but she is also an information sponge. Many youth are, even if some adults want to pretend they're not paying attention. Being an information sponge with inexperienced exposure to not-so-great source material is... Not good. (Hell, look at how easily grown adults fall into that trap.)

That, as a parent trying to raise a good human, fucking terrifies me.

Adult me reads that scene, and admittedly? I feel like I'm Karen-ing on this. I'm angry about it. Offended, even. Again, not about the subject matter, but that my kid might have been exposed to it so casually, as nothing more than rage-bait that gets brushed aside the second it's not directly convenient to the plot. If I hadn't screened it, I worry that she might have assumed/taken some things in that book to heart that really should not be normalized.

Do I think kids need to be sheltered from concepts as a whole? Oh holy mother of fuck no, because that's how you get kids who feel lost in their own home, or don't speak up about abuse. But I do know that if (and when) my kid is exposed to this kind of thing in literature, fiction or no, that it should be from a source that handles the subject matter with at least some illusion of tact. That, I can help her with. I can at least try.

So I'm more saying "please don't read about that topic until I can look it over first or we can talk together" rather than banning it entirely.

Shit... Never ban information; Educate on where and how to use it properly.

Bleh. Tangent. Veering way off topic.

I swear I'm not arguing against the post. I think I was going somewhere with this, more as a defense of parents who *do* take issue with/take away stuff like that for the right reasons.

"Defense of a middleground," if that makes sense.

/endrant

"kids can't read about [insert mature topic here] itll traumatize them" i went through something as a child that would make the brain of a grown ass adult shatter into a million pieces. I would never see this aspect of my life represented in a book until. 2022. When I was 26 years old. Kids are already seeing and experiencing the things you are afraid of exposing them to. What you want to take from them is to learn about it, or to learn that others are going through the same things as them, at their own pace through the safety of fiction

If you actually hate how Rachel Zegler disrespects the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, do not go see or stream the remake.

If you actually hate how Disney has turned the Lilo & Stitch live-action into a bad statement about race, do not go see or stream it.

If you actually believe that the original The Little Mermaid was perfect and needed no adjustments, and Eric was not a bland prince, do not go see or stream the remake.

If you actually thought that Emma Watson misread and mishandled the role of Belle, who, in the original, was expertly characterized, do not go see or stream the remake.

If you actually believe that the Genie wanted to be free, and Aladdin learned to trust, and Jasmine taught them both how, while the Live Action version ruined that, do not go see or stream the remake.

If you actually believe that the original Lion King movie was perfect and needed no bland NatGeoWild embellishment, do not go see or stream the remake.

If you actually believe that the Cinderella (2015) movie was a good remake, go out and buy the DVD—and then don’t go see and stream the other remakes.

Don’t do it. They don’t read our tumblr rants or watch our rage reels, but they count how many of us go see the new stuff. And they count our money as it goes into their bank account to fund the next one. And they count the time we spend on their streaming services. Teach them that we have standards, and the standards aren’t spectacle, and you can’t just buy us with soulless puppets of our favorite movies.

When you’re tempted to go hear the soundtrack play and listen to the dialogue you miss, just go watch the original. That’s what you really love.

#NotMyDisney alienated me with these last few movies, so I’m not playing the games anymore. Make movies for me, as if I’m the smart child you raised on good movies, or else I won’t go see them. If you guys want me, I’ll be waiting for the day that the Live Action Remake comes out, and then immediately streaming the original on Disney+.

Let ‘em measure how many seats are filled in their theaters, versus how many streams of the originals are playing on the same day.

Stitch Sunday

Happy Sunday y'all! I am done with school (just a few meetings and cleaning out my classroom left...) and cannot wait to catch up on missed sleep and missed fics.

If you are all caught up on The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch, you know what is coming next chapter. I've given this a lot of thought since I finished this fic back in April, and I just don't think there is any way to preview Simon's story and do it justice. It is also the only chapter that truly requires a content warning. So, no snips this week. Sorry!

Instead, because you are going to need it come Friday, have some adorable comfort. I was inspired by @iamamythologicalcreature's recent Mer-May art and decided to make a hand-stitched MerSnowbaz this past week. I know Mer-May is over, but merSimon and merBaz are sequin-y and gay, so they must count for pride, yeah?

If I make any progress at all on my current WIP, I might post a snip on Wednesday. This new concept is good but a bit of a headache, so we'll see if it ever sees the light of day...

If not, I may abandon writing and pursue becoming a textile artist instead because it is currently bringing me far more joy.

I wanna get these designs out of the way because I am very busy for the weekend so I couldn’t draw the last two characters that I was planning on doing for these set of designs.

I do have to say, I really tried my best on them because I used a wheel on this one so these character choices were random (Except for Woody, he was requested lmao.)

Just a heads up, the villains in my Mirrorverse series designs will be based on how they died or how they were defeated, Oogie and Cruella De Vil are the examples:

Lorcana/Twisted Wonderland Part 3

Part One

Part Two

I've enjoyed this some I thought I'd share some more cards from Lorcana as related to Twist.

First off is the reminder of the fact that Rook should have a beard lol. But otherwise I'm glad to see he has some representation in Lorcana.

And while on Pomefiore, Dark Mirror anyone?

I figured I'd include this because of the up coming EN event. Stitch just out there living his best life. I'm really looking forward to it, especially cuz the SSRs are Lilia and Floyd.

Another Jafar, that I think I'd s very good reflection on Jamil.

And this is almost like an Overblot version for the Tweels. That's part of why it's easy for me to draw the parallels between Twist and Lorcana because some of the themes are close enough. Especially when it comes to Ink/Blot which is pretty much the same thing. Some of the characters become twisted in Lorcana, corrupted far beyond their Canon self.

While she doesn't have a Twist counterpart here would be Anna, as she is corrupted by the ink. (OC fuel maybe?)

And last I'm just adding this card because I find it hilarious.

Anyway there are a lot of fun parallels, like I said in my original post, it's easy to see Twisted as a world within Lorcana. Whether I ever write about it in a fanfic one day I don't know. But I still find it a fun HC
