This was supposed to just be a rough sketch, but then I started getting really invested in it.

I hadn't initially intended to include so many picture book characters, but the nostalgia was overwhelming. Does anyone remember the animated short films produced by Weston Woods? My local library used to have a bunch of them on the Scholastic VHS tapes from the late 90s. (I know some shorts were released on the Children's Circle VHS tapes back in the 80s (🎶 Come on along! Come on along! Join the caravan!), and some were packaged in Sammy's Story Shop in 2008.)

Max, from Where the Wild Things Are, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak

List of some movies that I enjoy and the books they’re based on which often have different vibes than the movie but both are equally good in different ways

Howl’s Moving Castle: The book is titled the same but has very different vibes (movie is more whimsical fantasy while book feels more like realistic fantasy if that makes sense) and also has two companion books in which Howl and Sophie make appearances! Book by Dianna Wynne Jones

Kiki’s Delivery Service: The book is titled the same but again very different vibes (Movie Kiki deals with depression and losing your passion and Book Kiki is cute little witch dealing with people’s problems in cute little witch ways) Book by Eiko Kadono

Stardust: Book titled the same but different vibes (movie is intense and life threatening adventures, book is more fun travel adventures and much slower paced) Book by Neil Gaiman

The Secret of Moonacre: The book is titled The Little White Horse (similar to Stardust the book is a lot slower paced and less life threatening adventures but just as fun and interesting as well as a lot of characters have more depth to them than in the movie) Book by Elizabeth Goudge

The Last Unicorn: Book has same name (from what I remember the book is almost word for word exactly like the movie) Book by Peter S Beagle

Ella Enchanted: Book has the same name (ok this one is a little more controversial. In my opinion the book has a lot more depth and is a lot more interesting in the world building and characters, and the movie is a horrible adaptation. But if you look at the movie as a completely separate thing it is still enjoyable and has fun songs and is a classic from my childhood) Book by Gail Carson Levine

Mary and the Witch’s Flower: The book is titled The Little Broomstick (I have yet to read it but I have just checked it out so I will make sure to update this once I’ve read it! I expect the book will probably have better world building as the movie was fun but didn’t have time to go into depth and the mechanics of the witch’s world) Book by Mary Stewart

Earwig and the Witch: Book titled the same (I also have yet to read this book but have just checked it out and will update later. I think it’ll probably be similar to what I expect with the Little Broomstick where it will probably show a more developed world) Book by Dianna Wynne Jones

Ronja the Robber’s Daughter: Technically not a movie but a tv series. Book has the same name (I also haven’t read it but have just checked it out and will update but I think the show was very well done story wise though the animation wasn’t my favorite and I expect that it probably followed the book fairly closely) Book by Astrid Lindgren

Avalon High: Book has same name and similar plot but characters are switched around (this is actually one where I like the movie a lot better. I feel like the book is extremely predictable and does exactly what you expect to happen while the movie switches it up in a fun way that I feel like also makes sense and isn’t just doing it for the shock factor) Book by Meg Cabot

Tales From Earthsea: One book from the Earthsea Cycle has the same name (I’ve only read the first two books and so technically haven’t gotten to the book that the movie has been adapted from but it’s on my list and I will update once I eventually get to it. So essentially I’ve read the prequels that lead up to the events in the movie and I’ve heard the movie is vaguely different but has similar themes and plot points to the book) Books by Ursula K Le Guin

That’s all I can think of for now but if you have any suggestions to add let me know and I’ll see if I’ve watched the movie and read the books and if so I’ll make an addition to this post!

#and don’t try to suggest HP I will not be talking about that cuz Rowling is scum #I also won’t be talking about Percy Jackson cuz so many people already talk about it and I enjoy it but this is for less well known books #books #howls moving castle #howls moving castle book #kiki's delivery service #stardust #the last unicorn #the earthsea cycle #Ella enchanted #earwig and the witch #ronja the robber’s daughter #the little broomstick #mary and the witch's flower #the secret of moonacre #the little white horse #Avalon high

Sonic Seducer, June 2015

The exotic blossoms of a band break: After Rammstein said goodbye to the collective scene after their furious final show at the Wacken Open Air in summer 2013, the individual group members are slowly but surely returning with solo projects. While guitarist Richard Kruspe kicked things off last fall with the release of the second long play from his all-star artist collective Emigrate, spring 2015 will also be dominated by the Berlin industrial metallers. While keyboardist Flake Lorenz is trying his hand at writing books, frontman Till Lindemann is also letting the sparks fly again in every way possible: On the debut album of his solo effort of the same name, the flame-retardant muscle man has enlisted the help of Hypocrisy/Pain mastermind Peter Tägtgren. Together we'll be firing on all cylinders for 'Skills In Pills' from June onwards - and all in English!

The good news at the very beginning: the all-clear can be given. Despite all the rumors and speculation, the founding of Lindemann does not mean the end of Rammstein, as Till solemnly explains in the preliminary discussion about his latest field of musical activity. "Peter and I have been planning this project for ages. We had to keep postponing it because of time constraints — either he was on tour or I was busy with Rammstein. For me, Lindemann means more of a vacation from Rammstein. 15 years together is a long time. During this time we lived almost exclusively for the band and neglected our private life a lot. Some band members have small children and we are aware that we need more time for our families and whatever else is going on these days. It was urgently necessary for some of us to take a longer break from Rammstein. A break during which you can collect yourself again and really relax without the next appointments being on your calendar."

Anyone who knows the New German Hardness pioneer and the Scandinavian death metal veteran knows: you won't rest for a single minute on the twelve tracks of 'Skills In Pills'. On the contrary. As the names Rammstein and Pain suggest, on their first album the Lindemann/Tägtgren duo created a darkly bombastic, subtly electro-fied hybrid monster that stomps through the metal forest with glowing eyes, broad shoulders and a dirty grin to make his way through the mainstream and underground regardless of the losses. A real man's record, the result of a German-Swedish friendship that has now lasted a good 15 years. A long shared history that, according to Tägtgren, "starts with bar fights and continues through vomiting in Chinese restaurants" to the present day. Sounds too weird for a PR stunt, as Lindemann confirms. "We met when Flake and I got into a fight in a small bar somewhere in the north of Sweden. Peter somehow got in the way. I previously only knew him from seeing metal clubs and bars in Stockholm, but had never spoken to him. Back then we hung out a lot with the guys from Clawfinger and our mixer at the time, Stefan Glaumann. A time when I was out every night and knew all the clubs. Peter and his brother really saved our asses in that fight and kept us out of a lot of trouble. He calmed the heated tempers and said to these guys: By the way, that's the singer from Rammstein, they're okay. Afterwards there was home-made beer for the whole house. Then we all crashed really badly together."

Instead of burning off their excess energy in trendy shops in Stockholm, LindGren now prefers to spend her time on 'Skills In Pills'. With instant neckbreakers like 'Ladyboy' and 'Golden Shower', the bizarre fetish metal smash 'Fat' and the polarizing family planning guide 'Praise Abort(ion'), the duo will be open-mouthed and perhaps one or two scandal headlines from June onwards in relevant tabloids. The new pieces are based on Till Lindemann's notorious, deep black humor, which was often misunderstood in Rammstein and in his two previously published volumes of poetry. In English form, all non-German-speaking regions now have the chance for the first time to immerse yourself in the eerie and beautiful world of thoughts of the R-rolling fifty-something. Brutal humor for everyone.

"It’s just part of my job. I've always tried to let a certain kind of humor shine through; even if sometimes it wasn't much fun to record the songs. I can't judge whether this is the light, carefree side of Till Lindemann. The biggest difference is definitely that the songs are in English - a completely new field of work that I'm working on today."

The album was created in Peter Tägtgren's semi-legendary The Abyss studio in the tiny village of Pärlby, around 200 kilometers northwest of Stockholm. Where over the last twenty years milestones have been recorded by mostly black metal formations such as Dimmu Borgir, Dark Funeral and of course Peter's numerous in-house projects, last summer they clubbed their way through their collection of acoustic pills in a relaxed mood. Relaxed feel-good atmosphere à la Lindemann. "In his studio you can literally throw a fishing rod into the water from the comfort of your own home. Peter did the editing of the songs and I fished during my breaks from recording. We approached this project without any great expectations or plans. We just wanted to do something together. Everything has developed step by step into what you can hear and see today. Initially we thought we'd record a few songs and put them online to see how people would react."

"We are very serious about music," concludes Peter Tägtgren. "We are extremely proud of what we have created together with this album. But at the moment the project is still in its infancy. You have to see how much the audience likes our work. If it goes down well out there, I could imagine playing concerts with Lindemann. But at the moment it is still too early to judge. We'll wait for the feedback first."

The Lindemann album ‘Skills In Pills’ will be released in June; The detailed interview with Till and Peter can be found in the next issue.

does anyone know if rempe will be playing in the playoffs

i'm not peter laviolette so idk for sure but he'll def get in some games, depends on how long the rangers last. their 1st rd matchup is against the caps lol so unless lindgren outgoalies shesterkin & quick and delivers one of the most incredible goaltending performances in recent memory, it would be a disgrace if the rangers don't get to at least round 2

#ask! #m. rempe

Dömer dig efter din favorit Astrid Lindgren saga

Obs: Ta inte detta för seriöst. Jag känner inte dig och detta är bara på skämt.

Pippi Långstrump - Du är en basic bitch som väljer det mest populära alternativet

Emil i Lönneberga - Du gillar baskerkepsar och blev inspirerad att börja tälja efter du hörde om Emil första gången. Också, du aspirerar till att bo på landet och ha en snickerboa.

Saltkråkan - Du gillar "vardagsrealism". Också, du vill absolut, om du inte redan har/gör det, bo i en stuga vid havet.

Karlsson på taket - Du är en dryg jävel som tror du vet bättre än alla andra, sorry not sorry

Madicken - Du ville leva och vara som Madicken, ellerhur? Om du hade syskon lekte ni definitivt att ni var Madicken och Lisabet. Plus att du också ville typ prova att hoppa ner från taket med ett paraply... Också du kanske eller kanske inte hade en grej för Abbe... ;)

Barnen i Bullerbyn - TASTE först och främst. Du gillade den idylliska barndomen som de verkade ha och önskade du kunde växa upp så med. Skulle inte förvåna mig om du lekte samma lekar som de gjorde. Om du bodde på landet låtsades du definitivt att du var dem, och bodde du i stan så påmindes du om Bullerbyn varje gång du såg så mycket som en hage.

Rasmus på luffen - Du romantiserade att rymma hemifrån mycket känner jag, kanske rent utav lekte att du bodde på barnhem och flydde för att bli luffare

Bröderna Lejonhjärta - Du gillar rollspel nu, va? /hj Men annars så kanske du i allmänt är ett fantasy fan. Och gillar historier om bröder.

Ronja Rövardotter - Du gillade idéen att få springa runt i en skog, leva rövare och att leva i en borg på medeltiden i allmänhet. Du har byggt så många kojor i skogen som du ska "bo" i, att det inte går att räkna.

Mio min Mio - DU GILLAR ROLLSPEL NU VA Okej nej men... du gillar fantasy absolut, men du gillar också historier med "den utvalde" som ska rädda dagen. Idk helt ärligt har jag inte mycket idéer för Mio min Mio

Nils Karlsson Pyssling - Du gillade idéen att vara liten som en pyssling och kunna bada i en kaffekopp och kunna interagera med objekt på ett annat sätt än när du är normalstor. Det ser ju så mysigt ut!

Allrakäraste syster - Låt mig gissa, du hade låtsaskompisar som barn. Också, du gillade eskapismen i det hela, en tjej som flyr från sitt vanliga liv ner till en magisk plats.

Kalle Blomkvist - Du lekte röda-vita rosen jättemycket som liten. Också, du gillar deckare väldigt mycket i allmänhet.

Lotta på Bråkmakargatan - Du är yngsta barnet och du behövde en rollfigur som kunde relatera till dina yngsta barn-struggles.

Kajsa Kavat- Du kanske bara gillar i allmänhet historier som små barn som hjälper gamla ig (förlåt jag själv har verkligen lite koll på Kajsa Kavat)

Någon av Astrid Lindgrens många noveller (obs jag vet att vissa av dessa tekniskt sätt är noveller redan men shh) - Du gillar det underskattade, det som inte folk snackar om lika mycket. Du går säkert runt och bara "Men har ni hört om DENNA då, den vet inte många om faktiskt!"

Någon berättelse som jag har glömt - Förlåt. Den här tanten har typ 100 böcker. Mitt dömande av dig som är i denna kategori är att att du är "MEN HALLÅ!!!! DU GLÖMDE FAKTISKT DENNA! VART ÄR DENNA?!??!"

Också, jag kom verkligen inte på något för Peter och Petra för det skulle typ vara samma förklaring som varför du gillar Nils Karlsson Pyssling. Sen var det några jag inte glömde, jag bara kom verkligen inte på något alls, som Gullpian och Märit exempelvis.

Iallafall... det här var typ svårare än vad jag trodde, speciellt då jag vet mindre om vissa än om andra, så ta inte detta för seriöst. Och håller ni verkligen inte med mig så ja, gör er egen lol.

#varför gjorde jag det här ens #jag vet inte #it's a mess but it's tumblr everything is a mess #astrid lindgren #sa du sten #all makt åt tengil vår befriare

Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)

Cast: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar, Henrik Dahl, Karin Bergquist, Peter Carlberg, Ika Nord, Mikael Rahm, Karl-Robert Lindgren. Screenplay: John Ajvide Lindqvist, based on his novel. Cinematography: Hoyte Van Hoytema. Production design: Eva Norén. Film editing: Tomas Alfredson, Dino Jonsäter. Music: Johan Söderqvist. 

For those blog-readers getting ready to outfit little Jake or Jenny with plastic fangs and felt cape, let me remind you that the vampire legend, with its penetration and exchange of fluids, is always and invariably about sex, or the fear of it. Even when the vampire is 12 years old. Or maybe especially when the vampire is a 12-year-old girl who moves in next door to a 12-year-old boy on the cusp of adolescence. Of course, as a vampire, Eli (Lina Leandersson) is going to be 12 years old forever, and she tells Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) that she's not a girl, raising a note of ambiguity: Does she mean that she's not a girl but a vampire, or that she's transgender or even neuter? (There's a flash of nudity which suggests that she has undergone some sort of genital trauma.) No matter, for the film is really about the relationship that develops between a boy who is being tormented by bullies and a vampire/girl with the power to put an end to his tormentors. Let the Right One In is such a richly textured film that it transcends its horror-film elements, its bloodlettings and its suspense-engendering narrative. A good deal of the screenplay is devoted to giving the secondary characters lives (and deaths) of their own, including Oskar's estranged parents and the man who lives with, and serves, Eli. Even incidental details, such as Eli's odd possessions, and the ending, Oskar on a train, Eli apparently in a box beside him, are tantalizing. No surprise that the film was remade in the United States as Let Me In (Matt Reeves, 2010) and became the basis for a TV series in 2022.
