Hi everyone, this was a mistake on my part! The Kane Chronicles are not supposed to be here as they were in the last competition. Any votes for them will be counted as "see results" votes when it comes to calculated if any books are outright eliminated, and if they end up winning, second place will be taken instead.

Executive Dysfunction is bad because of missed assignments and appointments and bills and all that, obviously.

But Executive Dysfunction is also bad because literally all I want in the entire world right now is to drink my ice tea and smoke my weed but I keep not doing that, because the frontal lobe of my brain has been replaced by the Doldrums from The Phantom Tollbooth

I'm not saying this would be a good idea, but I do think you could make one of those blown-up, slightly-adultified, lots-of-added-lore adaptations of the Phantom Tollbooth without it seeming completely insane.

#the phantom tollbooth #Yes this thought train was sparked off because Dominic Noble made a video on the Chuck Jones version #What of it?

Milo and the OG Book Tock. ‘The Phantom Tollbooth’ was the first time I realized a book could be art. Never have I been more captivated and awed by words. There are many beautiful quotes in the book, but this one feels particularly relevant.

Just wanted to say that TPoH has the most genius writing I’ve ever seen. It reminds me so much of the phantom tollbooth, but 10x better. The symbolism is absolutely insane, the story is beautiful, and the characters are so human. I really wouldn’t be surprised if it won an award in the future, it’s criminally underrated!

every time I get compared to TPTB my heart grows three sizes because I only discovered that book and film because someone said TPoH reminded them of it, and I am so happy because it's now one of my favourite stories!!! I do not think TPoH is 10x better than it though.

Trying to figure out how to do quicker, more cartoonish doodles. Don't know why I jumped to midcentury children's classics for inspiration but there you are.

hey. promoting classic literature for a moment. here are free sites to read two of my favorite books

this is a link to a free pdf of The Phantom Tollbooth, illustrations included. its a book written in the 60s but you would never guess it and the wordplay is literally so awesome. longer read but worth it

and this is a chapter by chapter way to read The Little Prince, which is originally French and much much older than TPT. its also a lot shorter, but absolutely heartbreaking. youll never be the same again

please reblog this with more classic literature if you have any i think that would be cool

Some corners from a double commission! Children’s/YA books have much more challenging covers to replicate, so one of these took twice as long as the other, but good fun to do.

I did something completely unnecessary and looked up ages and timelines for dreamland/isekai protagonists and liminal spaces. What you do with the following information will be for you to deal with now. (Because I feverishly looked all of this up between the span of last night and this morning, despite math not being my strong suit, there is a chance I took a few wrong notes here and there. If you catch any I missed, I’ll edit the op.)

In late 2020, presumably mid-December after everyone’s birthdays passed, Eustace and Jill (the Final Battle) would be 87, Fran Bow would be 76, Milo (the Phantom Tollbooth) would be 69-72, Jesse Aarons (the Bridge to Terabithia) would be 52-60, Sarah Willians would be 50-55 (depending on when between 1980 and 1986 The Labyrinth is set in), cinema Bastian B. Bux would be 52 (book Bastian would be 46), the surviving Stranger Things cast would all be 37 years older, Sunny (OMORI) would be 40-44, Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) would be 41, Helena Campbell (Mirrormask) would be 30-34, Misfortune R.H. would’ve been 27, Coraline would be 22-30, Madotsuki could’ve been anywhere between 26 and 45 if she survived, assuming this was set in the year of the release date, Max (the Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl) would be 25, and if the same assumption as for Yume Nikki applies, Ib would be 17 (quoting exact years in an abstract alternate dimension is not exactly reliable), making Garry presumably between 26 and 37.

Clara Silberhaus (the Nutcracker) was a senior by the time Alice fell into Wonderland.

Dorothy Gale was the same age as Digory and Polly (the Magician’s Nephew). They would have been in their twenties when Peter Pan and his shadow met Wendy, who would be in her mid-to-late twenties when Christopher Robin played in the Hundred-Acre Wood. Christopher would have been 24 when Fran Bow was taken to Ithersta. (And while it could be written off as an easter egg, a younger alternate Fran was friends with an alternate Alice. Being a younger alternate, they could have both been born later than in the timeline of the player’s Fran.)

Christopher Robin was 29 when Narnia was rebuilt from scratch, Wendy was in her mid-to-late 30′s, and Dorothy, Digory and Polly were ~69 (nice).

Milo (the Phantom Tollbooth) and Jesse Aarons are 9-20 years apart depending on when in the 70′s Jess and Leslie’s stories are supposed to take place.

The main events of Stranger Things mainly take place in Hawkins, Indiana, starting in 1983-- or 1979 if you count the first time a gate was opened even temporarily. Project Async’s known operations ran between the late 1980′s and late 1990′s, and is implicated by association with the Loma Prieta earthquake to be based in California. Their first prototype was run in May 1982, a year before the first sustained opening into the Upside-Down. The events of EverymanHYBRID concluded in 2010.

The City of Light and Land of Shadows, the Hundred-Acre Wood, the Lands Beyond, Neverland, Wonderland and the Looking Glass, the beldam (in the book wherein Coraline did not take place in Oregon) and much of Narnia’s invitations all made contact with our world (or at least one variation thereof) through England, especially London. Whether pagan practice was all that stood between Brits and an outbreak of dimensional rifts before the christianization of Europe remains unknown. If all these events happened in the same universe, well, maybe that just happened to be the arrival point of that escape route The Web was working on. I, of course, am entertained by the idea of Jon the Archivist becoming Jon the Hunger in this absolute crossover singularity I’ve just propositioned.
