T. rex Madness Round 2: King of the Dinosaurs by Michael Berenstain vs. Meet the Robinsons (Tiny)
King of the Dinosaurs by Michael Berenstain – Son of the creators of the Berenstain Bears, Michael Berenstain wrote a series of books on prehistoric life known as I Love Dinosaurs. This entry, naturally, centers on Tyrannosaurus. While a lot of the information and designs are dated, I’m personally very fond of this art style. This book lingered in my memory long after I read it as a young kid.
Meet the Robinsons (Tiny) – “I have a big head and little arms!” So says Tiny, in probably the most memorable line from Meet the Robinsons. Tiny is dragged into Bowler Hat Guy’s convoluted scheme, to the objections of his sentient hat, Doris, but is quickly set free by the Robinson family. Fortunately, Tiny is pretty friendly on his own and sticks around as a new family pet.

There's something about EarthSpark that's been on my mind for a while.
Anyone who's experienced any amount of children's fiction has probably noticed that parents tend to be conveniently absent.
Either they're dead, missing, always at work, outright neglectful or just otherwise inexplicably missing. And even when the parents are present, they very rarely have an active role. This applies mostly to adventure stories but occurs in all genres.
There is a reason for this! Sometimes it's to drive the plot (like maybe the children have made a vow their mother will be found or smth) but the most common reason, in almost all stories, is that good, attentive parents are boring. They are boring, sensible, rule-setting, ruiners of fun. Ash Ketchum and his mouse can't fight a primordial demigod if his mother is around to tell him it's too dangerous. It just doesn't work.
One of the first things I was told in the first children's writing class I took was, to paraphrase: "do not have an adult show up and fix everything. It's boring and children hate it." Children love to believe that they are much more capable than they actually are, they want to feel brave and independent, and a good parent actively ruins that.
Usually, even if there is a guardian, it's a Fun Guardian - someone like an aunt, an older brother or a teacher who lets the kids get away with things a parent wouldn't. Them not being the characters' actual parent lowers the amount of responsibility the audience expects them to have.
And when there are 'fun parents' who allow their children to do dangerous things... well, except for a few very specific circumstances, it just comes off as willful neglect and endangerment. I'm actually struggling to think of any examples that are played straight, though, because it's so rare.
Obviously there are some stories where the parents are both good and present, but those stories are usually very low stakes. The Berenstain Bears never entered any illegal off-road races, for example.
Transformers has had relatively active parent characters in the past, e.g. June Darby and Charlie Burns, but the children's adventures still usually hinge on them not being around. They definitely care about their kids, but they still kind of toe the line of negligence imo. And of course Ralph's and Miko's parents barely exist at all.
But then there's EarthSpark.
Obviously I haven't read every children's book or seen every children's show, but right from the start Alex's and Dot's roles struck me as very unusual.
They're involved in everything! And they know about almost everything too. There are what, three or four episodes where they don't know what their kids are up to? And in another break from tradition, they get to be actual characters as well, with their own personalities, interests and relationships.
I really Alex and Dot. I think they're fun, fitting, and I like seeing a fresh take on the role of parents in children's fiction.
But I also think their portrayal has created a rather awkward situation for EarthSpark.
EarthSpark wants Alex and Dot to be good parents, who are involved in their children's lives and care about their safety... and it also wants the kids to have high stakes adventures, with explosions and sword fights. And these two things aren't really compatible.
Because Alex and Dot are good parents who are actively trying to protect their kids, they show genuine worry and distress, and it ends up really highlighting how dangerous the children's adventures actually are. It really alters the tone of the show.
Miss Frizzle can take her elementary class inside an active volcano and say, "it's fine!" because she is a Fun Guardian - she's not like the other teachers! She doesn't care about risk assessments! - and that's a large part of what sets the tone. We aren't worried because she isn't worried. The magma isn't dangerous because she says it isn't dangerous. We can suspend our disbelief.
Mo using a magic sword to fight a villain in the astral plane is just as fanciful (in my opinion). But when Dot starts calling out in fear while watching helplessly from the sidelines, we the viewers think - oh shit. This isn't a fun adventure at all. Mo is in real, physical danger. That's bad. And our suspended disbelief comes crashing down.
In my opinion, nothing that's happened so far in EarthSpark is more extreme than anything that's happened in children's fiction before. It doesn't even hold a candle to stuff like Goosebumps. But I think Alex and Dot's roles plays a huge part in making us realise how dangerous the events and how high the stakes actually are. There are other factors of course - like EarthSpark doesn't really do cartoon violence, everything has fairly realistic consequences that you don't often see in cartoons - but Alex and Dot play a significant part.
I think EarthSpark goes to show why parents are so often absent from children's fiction - they are almost completely antithetical to the adventure stories children want. I think this is best displayed during the big seeker battle, where Alex and Dot have to carry Mo and Robbie to safety. In another show, the kids would save themselves. In EarthSpark, the fact that they don't and can't, and need their parents to save them, removes the independence and agency that's such a staple of children's adventure.
This isn't really a critique, it's more of an observation. I've enjoyed EarthSpark so far - I like that's it's trying something new, I like that the high stakes actually feel high, I like that the parents are actual characters, I like that it has a more realistic and grounded tone - but I am curious to see how Alex and Dot will be handled going forward. There's a very difficult balance needed here and I don't think EarthSpark has struck it yet.

Happy almost weekend! For the book game: 11, 23, and 32?
Thank you, Span! Happy almost weekend to you as well! 💖
11. What book do you want to read but haven’t?
Heir to Edenbrooke. It's a prequel novella to Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson (a non-magic, pureblood-esque novel someone recommended highly to me, which I adored). I even own it, but I've not gotten around to reading it yet. 😅
23. What book to movie adaptation do you love?
Lord of the Rings, because Tolkien's writing style isn't for me.
32. What is the first book you remember reading?
Oh, wow. OK, I think ... Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans? I mean, it could have been a Dr. Seuss book, but Madeline is what came to mind first so I'm going with that as my answer.
Either that or Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss.
Or one of the Berenstain Bears books.

I just wanna thank you for your post on the Mandela Effect as a South African! I get the whole effect people are trying to describe but calling it specifically that out of all the weird collective-memory incidents is weird af because that wasn’t even a global thing like the berenstain bears seems to be (I get that ‘cause my childhood memories are berenstein too) + it wasn’t even a phenomena in the region concerned + the people who coinedthat term didn’t seem to have actual exposure/connection/proximity to the events surrounding it.
No one who was actually in or near South Africa remembers him dying because the whole movement to free him was such a big deal it was truly inescapable. You’d have to live under several rocks of wilful ignorance to not know about it. There were a few Black freedom fighters, peers of his, that did die in jail or under police custody, notably Steve Biko, that were publicised during that same time period. I honestly do wonder often if American/European people just heard news of some notable Black anti-apartheid activist in Africa dying in jail and assumed it was him because they’d mashed all those guys together in their minds? Was it a news report about events in a far away country with bad information?
it’s could very well be because of their status as Black activists that got arrested; people in the western world often talk about Mandela as a MLK-esque figure who single-handedly ended apartheid and its flattens the whole history into a narrative about a messianic figure - the sheer determination of a special individual - when in reality he worked with a collective with many Black people and ANC members who did the same acts of resistance and even went to the same prison as him. He actively did try to push back against this narrow, individualistic idea of his role in history when he was alive. Many of these freedom fighters and political figures often get written out of history when the story is told internationally because of this, and their contributions to the movements (along with possibly one of their deaths) may have been subconsciously misattributed to Mandela.
So being from here, everyone I’ve talked to thinks it’s the weirdest thing it’s called the Mandela effect because it seems more like people living far off not taking in the news properly more than a true mass misremembering or… case of collective inter-dimensional travelling.
yes, exactly! this is what truly bothers me about the mandela effect being called that. regardless of whether or not people use it to mean the silly parallel dimensions theory or simply to refer to the mass misremembering of something (as most people tend to do today), which i do find kind of fun and interesting on it's own, still keeping it named after mandela is just incredibly tone-deaf.
no matter which version you look, every definition of this term is based around the fact that those supposed changes in people's memory vs reality are always small, mundane and inconsequential enough as to go unnoticed by someone not paying attention, and like. mandela dying during the apartheid in the 80s is the absolute OPPOSITE of an inconsequential or unimportant event that nobody would pay attention to for years. it's the sort of thing that would bring massive consequences to the history of an entire country, which in turn would also affect the world at large in different ways, most obviously when it comes to black liberation movements.
seeing this term get used to refer to actual silly and inconsequential things such as the berenstain bears misspelling or pikachu's tail not having a black tip is just crazy to me. it's hard not to see it as a dismissal of mandela, as if he is some sort of fictional character from a fictional country, whose impact in real life is on-par with monopoly's mascot not wearing a monocle. and i just know that nobody would so easily accept such a ridiculous conspiracy/concept getting thrown around like this if it were about an US or european president 🤷♀️
#ask#and it's not like i'm an expert on south african politics or anything like that. it's just that this reeks of americentrism to me#not to mention racism of course. it's as if world history that's outside of america and europe is as real as a fictional bear to them#long post

Just discovered this blog, my knowledge of regressors is limited but this has definitely been interesting.
Even though I’m a huge Lorelai fan I can’t help but feel bad for Molly haha!
I think it would be interesting to see a reverse where Molly is the regressor and Lorelai is the caretaker.
First - Thank you for being my first ask~!
Unfortunately for me I have a hard time with that because I don't really view much agere traits in Molly while Lorelai is pretty much canonically a regressor in my opinion. I mean one of Lorelai's biggest motives in the book is that she wants her sister to play with her. I feel like it would be rather out of character for Lorelai to be the CG.
In fact i personally headcanon Molly as a Trauma Caregiver. Kinda the opposite of how Lorelai is a Trauma Regressor due to the way she's grown up she's more pron to naturally fall into a more caretaker role.
However - Even though i can't see Lorelai being a CG, I also do have a concept that after Giovanni's Moms have Molly for a while they mange to take Lorelai in. And with them (And Giovanni) acting as the CGs - We could get cute Molly and Lorelai interaction were Lorelai takes on a more little sisterly role and Molly gets to take on a older sister in charge role.
Below is a dabble of a story with Little Lorelai and Molly being together.
Molly and Lorelai awkwardly stared at each other in silence. The Potages rarely left the two alone together; Giovanni because he often worried how Lorelai would treat Molly, and Lorelai had developed an interesting bond with one of Giovanni's mothers - Daisy, and she had a tendency to be Daisy's shadow. The two sisters also had their therapy days on opposite days and with the Potages she had a lot more free time to hang out with her friends. So, after about 2 months of Lorelai living with them, this was the first time the two of them were alone in the same room as each other.
Daisy had asked Molly to keep an eye on Lorelai because she was feeling smaller than normal when she had come back from therapy, but Giovanni was at baseball and Rhonda was still at work. So, annoyingly, Molly was back in the role of having to be the reasonable one for Lorelai. Her older sister has been regressing a lot more lately - according to her therapist and new foster parents, it's because Lorelai regresses when under stress or when she can't cope with certain things. Honestly, Molly didn't fully understand, but she did know that her older sister was always more immature than other people her own age - even before their mother died...
Lorelai felt awkward and wished she could summon a bubble to hide away in - she wasn't used to feeling this small around Molly, but Mama didn't like it when she was feeling under 6 for her to make bubbles cause she could get hurt. She fidgets with the amethyst bracelet. "Do you wanna play?" She asks quietly, remembering Molly’s preference.
Molly rolled her eyes "What did you have in mind?" the 12-almost-13 year old answers.
Lorelai lowered her eyes away from her little sister, who felt much bigger than her right now. "You pick?" She tilts her head. Therapy always wore her out and she had no ideas. She wanted someone else to take charge.
This shocks Molly because she's more used to Lorelai taking charge of games. Lorelai was a bit bossy when it came to pretend games and a sore loser when it came to other types of games. "Well, how old do you feel?" She had seen Daisy ask Lorelai this when the teenage girl became more passive like this.
With a small humm Lorelai stops fidgeting with her bracelet, thinking. She starts with 3 fingers but then lowers it to 2, then back to 3, unsure of the answer herself. "Duh fully know" she mumbles.
Molly gave Lorelai's back a pat "That's okay. Do you want to watch the Berenstain Bears and play with your blocks?" Molly suggested. She knew there were shows Lorelai liked more than the Berenstain Bears, but it was her own guilty pleasure. Lorelai doesn't seem to have an issue with this plan as she goes to her room and brings down her blocks.
"You pwomise if we watch Beaws... You'll play blocks wif me?" Lorelai slurs a little behind the pacifier she must have gotten from her bedroom.
Nodding, Molly puts on the Berenstain Bears, and sits down next to Lorelai on the ground and starts to build with Lorelai. While Lorelai became more and more focused on building block towers. Molly couldn't help but feel rather peaceful as the sound of the cartoon and Lorelai sucking on her pacifier fills this room as the two build. A part of her could now understand why she found being little comforting - even if Lorelai's regression often wasn't due to her own choice. It was rather relaxing to just turn everything off and just relax.

Beauty and the Beast Novel Master List
I like Beauty and the Beast, I bet you do too, here's all the retellings I've read.
I'm not selecting for quality, I'm just listing them.
Art by anonymous. Beast has put on his nicest pompom shoes to win Beauty's heart.
Some of these are retellings (girl swaps places with father, is isolated with a beastly love interest of some type, leaves for some reason, returns to find the beast dying, confesses her love and saves the day), others are only inspired by BatB, but I'm including them as long as there's a clear reference. So Rose Daughter goes, but things like The Phantom of the Opera, Shrek, or Jane Eyre, despite their many overlaps, don't.
Art by Horace Elisha Scudder. Beauty has found Beast, here played by a distant cousin of the Berenstain Bears family.
Also for your consideration: What do you call your heroine when canonically she has a painfully literal name?
Hmmm...
E: explicit
NF: not fantasy or any adjacent genre
YA: young adult
BOOKS:
Beauty's names: Beauty, Lucy, Eider
A Rose for Beauty – Irene B Brand
NF. Novella length. I don't remember much about this one despite reading it just last year, but it's modern day and I think it's Christian. Featured in the Once Upon a Time collection. (No connection to the Once Upon a Time book series.)
Beauty and the Clockwork Beast – Nancy Campbell Allen (Steampunk Proper Romance)
Despite the title, I don't think this one follows the fairy tale quite faithfully enough to really be a retelling. It's more of an original steampunk gothic-mystery-romance. But the BatB inspiration is there.
The Price and Prey of Magic – Rachel Day
I wrote this one. It riffs on both the classic BatB and an alternate version called “The Green Serpent” where the beast is a snake and the Beauty character is thought to be hideous. Other fairy tales are incorporated.
Beauty's names: Belle, Violaine, Lindy
Belle – Cameron Dokey (Once Upon a Time)
YA. The Once Upon a Time series did novella retellings of the classic Disney fairy tales (as well as some outliers) in the 2000s. Some of them are fairly original, some of them play it more safe. There were multiple authors, but I always felt the Dokey entries were the strongest. Belle doesn't try to reinvent the fairy tale that much (see Spirited farther down the list), though it does make the magical rose a more central element in the story.
The Prisoner of the Castle of Enlightenment – Therese Doucet
E. Not a close retelling, but definitely inspired by BatB. Even set in 1700s France for good measure with a strong focus on the Enlightenment. Nods to the fairy tale early on, then heads off into unexpected original territory and gets magical and folkloric.
Beastly – Alex Flinn (Kendra Chronicles)
YA. Probably the best-known modern retelling. The author makes the risky choice of telling it from the beast's point of view, in this case a conceited rich prep boy, and I think a lot of the reader's enjoyment depends on how much they like being in his head. There's a companion novella from the Beauty character's perspective, but I haven't read it.
Beauty's names: Isabella, Caitrin, Beauty
Spirited – Nancy Holder (Once Upon a Time)
YA. The other Once Upon a Time retelling. This one is more original, less by-the-book, setting it in colonial America. But it makes the questionable decision to cast the beast character as an American Indian who takes a beautiful white colonist captive. I suspect this is why the series' creators revisited BatB with the Dokey version, with the hopes this one would quietly vanish.
Heart's Blood – Juliet Marillier
A historical fantasy set in medieval Ireland. This one decides to cast the beast as disabled, but if you can put that aside, he's an interesting and well-rounded character. Another book that deviates pretty substantially from the original and goes off and does its own thing. There are ghosts, not talking knickknacks. Even so, it feels like a legitimate retelling, not merely inspired by BatB.
Beauty and the Beast, The Only One Who Didn't Run Away – Wendy Mass (Twice Upon a Time)
YA. What I remember most about this one is reading it while waiting to see if I'd be impaneled for a jury. It doesn't stand out much in my memory, but as I recall it was lighthearted and aiming for humor.
Beauty's names: Beauty, Beauty, Beauty
Beauty – Robin McKinley
YA. Robin McKinley's first foray into BatB retellings. It's one of my favorite novels, period, with a thoughtful bookish Beauty (way before Disney did it) and a brooding but gracious beast. It's an intelligent slow burn with loads of introspection, but still has many sweet, warm, and funny moments.
Rose Daughter – Robin McKinley
YA. McKinley's better known BatB retelling. This one is a lot more original, expanding on the fairy tale, incorporating Beauty's siblings a lot, and overall giving you a longer, richer read. I still prefer Beauty, but this one has a lot going for it and includes an unusual twist. Also, while I won't list it as its own entry, Chalice is an original McKinley fantasy novel with a strong BatB vibe.
Beast – Donna Jo Napoli
YA. Another book from the beast's p.o.v. Also casts him as a person of color (Persian) with a white Beauty, and in this case turns him into a lion rather than a fantastical monster. Yes, him being a literal animal rather than a slightly humanoid beast does introduce some specific elements to the story. Probably part of why the cover touts it as sophisticated.
Beauty's names: Belle (Annabelle), Shelley
Belle – Sarah Price
NF. The Amish one. Modern setting. It has a YA feel (the heroine is very young), but given that it deals with marriage, and to a significantly older man, I'm not exactly sure which audience it's ultimately for. This Beauty takes a Disney-inspired approach, being bookish and spirited. But the beast is a crotchety Amish guy, so that's new.
The Gentle Prisoner – Sara Seale
NF. 1940s Cornwall. A gothic-tinged romance novel with an otherworldly, innocent, sensitive heroine, who's also very young and marries a significantly older man with a troubling scar and no end of brooding. Not exactly a retelling, but leans heavily on the fairy tale and isn't afraid to draw attention to it.
SHORT STORIES:
"The Rose and the Beast" – Francesca Lia Block
YA. Modern day. I did read this one, a hundred years ago. I don't remember much except for a general impression of the whole collection – dark, urban, sensuous. Can be found in the collection of the same name.
"The Courtship of Mr Lyon" – Angela Carter
Modern (to the 1970s, when it was published). A feminist retelling. Been forever since I read it, so I don't remember specifics, but I have a clear memory of enjoying it.
"The Tiger's Bride" – Angela Carter
As you can guess from the title, also sophisticated.
"Beast and Beauty" – Vivian Vande Velde
YA. A lighthearted, cute take on the story from the beast's perspective. VVV's writing is often very funny, and this is one of my favorites of her retellings. It can be found in Tales From the Brothers Grimm and the Sisters Weird.
That was tiring. I think I'll just lie here and stick my tongue out and die.
I would love to find more retellings, so please feel free to add to this list.

last song I listened to: Girls! Girls! Girls! - Emilie Autumn
favorite color: Purple
last TV show or movie I watched: Bottoms (2023). It was fine.
currently watching: Just finished rewatching A League of Their Own (2022)
sweet, savory, or spicy: Sweet or savory
relationship status: Single
current obsession: See next question
last thing I googled: “Stout motherly lady” to find an online copy of Little Women with the 1868/69 text instead of the later revised text which says “tall motherly lady.” I'm still amazed by the fact that Aunt March's name might not be Josephine? It's even more Berenstainy than the Berenstain Bears.
Tagging you, you're it.

my book reccs for the regression book club! i saw the post and began thinking of the books i read as a child and then fell into a google spiral of finding more (both to find reccs for the club and also for my own personal regressed reading lol)
most if not all of the series are not actual series that need to be read chronologically, i just didnt know what other word to describe them lol
i tried to keep the books in the same age range of the books that you mentioned in the post but some of them are a little younger age range and a few might be a little older
•my father’s dragon
•the miraculous journey of edward tulane
•junie b. jones series
•cam jansen series
•geronimo stilton series
•judy moody series
•flat stanley series
•fly guy series
•mr putter & tabby series
•clementine series
•bad kitty series
•amelia bedelia series
•frog and toad series
•little bear series
•sisters grimm series
•curious george series
•little critter series
•the bearenstein bears series
•poppelton series
These are great suggestions!
I'm especially partial to Mr. Putters and Tabby (it's a SERIOUSLY cute series I suggest everyone check out)
I personally found Edward Tulane a little sad when I read it, but I'm just really really sensitive to toys w/ feelings stuff...
I will say though, I wasn't anticipating Early Readers like Little Critter, Berenstain Bears, or Fly Guy to be recommended and had my mind more on chapter books like Junie B. Jones and some of the others mentioned. With that being said, they're all great stories that are definitely worth a read!
I'll check out some of the other ones and see if my library has access to them!
#I know I talked about starting a book club but I really can't rn#it's really sweet the idea resonated with so many people though!#I hope someone does something with it#asks#forthehonorofthey#🎠chatter

Okay. You know that whole Berenstain Bears thing? I’m having my own and it’s making me feel like everything is fake.
Have you ever heard the phrase “like a redded mule”? That’s a thing, right? It’s a thing. Even if Google doesn’t think so. And no one else has heard of it except my husband who uses it incredibly incorrectly all the time, saying all sorts of things are like redded mules. And I always teased him. And today I looked it up to find out what it really means because I couldn’t remember.
And it doesn’t exist?? Except it does. Right? Redded mules. They are a thing. I don’t know what kind of thing. But it always meant sort of like “a mule that sucked” or “a stolen mule” or “a mule with an injured leg who cannot carry the loot”. Something. I swear.
