(SPOILERS FOR THE LAND OF STORIES) okay so sorta outing myself as a Land Of Stories fan, but who cares the it’s a great book series. So we all know the potion that can make any work of fiction real, and this potion worked on greek mythology. Greek mythology isn’t collectively seen as fiction though, majority does, but accent Greeks, and some people nowadays, see it as real. This is the same as the bible. Not everyone sees it at nonfiction, some see it as completely fiction. Would the potion work on the bible???? Could have the masked man got fucking God on his side???

The Land of Stories Is Out

The Land of Stories is officially out of the running for best childhood book, although it came close to beating 39 Clues. So, for any fans or aspiring fans, I have some resources to get into the books and fandom.

A quick summary: Alex and Conner Bailey's father died just a couple of months ago, and their family is still reeling. Things start to look up when their eccentric grandmother leaves them a family heirloom, a treasured book of stories. It isn't long before Alex and Conner discover that the book is a portal to a world of fairy tales, but it only works one way. Now they must track down the powerful wishing spell in order to make their way home again.

Buy The Land of Stories here: SecondSale, Thriftbooks

Most of the Land of Stories is available on the Internet Archive, and they are probably available at your local library as well.

Here are some Tumblrs that post TLoS content:

Mr. Riordan, it is truly a pleasure getting to experience your second draft.

#seriously tho what an amazing thing for an author #to get to revisit your series years later #and get to make all the tweaks now that you know exactly where the story is going #to go back with your theme crystalized in your head and say 'ok now this time on purpose!' #kiddo and I are enjoying the PJO series immensely #love demigods #wish adhd was real #now excuse me while I add 9 billion tags #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo #rick riordan #percy jackson and the olympians #disney+ #pjo series #percy jackson tv show #does this need to be tagged as a spoiler? I don't feel like it does #the suggested hashtag being spelled wrong is just *chefs kiss* #love that for us #anyway if this needs another tag tell me

I'm genuinely offended by Red's introduction in The Wishing Spell. "She was showing too much skin, wearing too much makeup, and dressed too well for the middle of the day." Why are we slutshaming Little Red Riding Hood?? What is this misogyny doing in my children's fantasy book?

some of my favourite quotes from The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell

(for self-indulgence lol)

"Consider yourself warned. My story is not one that ends with a happily-ever-after." - The Evil Queen

"Right now, we're living in an ugly chapter of our lives, but books always get better!" - John Bailey

"Sometimes we forget about our own advantages because we focus on what we don't have." - John Bailey

"Have you really come to eat me? I thought you'd have learned your lesson by now. I bite back." - Goldilocks

'I fell in love. I fell into a love so deep it was unlike anything I've ever known. I never thought this kind of love was real. It's as if I am no longer living for myself anymore, but for her. So, I must find a way back. I must find a way to see her again.' - John Bailey

"I'd rather die trying than live the rest of life wondering if I could have done it." - John Bailey

"Some annoying little girl told me once that optimism always pays off, and she's usually right about things." - Conner Bailey

"It doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place." - Cinderella

"No matter what you do, you can never please anyone. And that was the hardest lesson to learn." - Cinderella

"If I had to be enslaved for life with someone, I'm glad it's her." - Conner Bailey

"Would you rather die in your cell or die trying to get back the life they stole from you?" - Alex Bailey

"Well, I know what it feels like to think the whole world is against you." - Alex Bailey

"I keep the spindle as a reminder that even the worst curses cast by the most powerful enchantresses can eventually be overcome." - Sleeping Beauty

'The fairy tale had always romanticized the bravery of the young prince and the horror of the curse that had been cast upon the land, but it had failed to mention what a strong and brave woman the sleeping beauty truly was.'

"Try giving 𝘮𝘦 a poisoned apple, and I'll shove it down your throat." - Goldilocks

"Courage is one thing that no one can ever take away from you." - Goldilocks (obviously i had to include this infamous quote)

"I've done many terrible things in my time, but many terrible things have been done to me over time as well. So, as far as I'm concerned, the world and I are even." - The Evil Queen

"I think what I've learned from all of this is that 𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 are mostly just people villainized by circumstance." - Alex Bailey

'By sunrise, they would be the most wanted fugitives in the world, but, at last, they were in each other's arms.'

"It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt or how much you're hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts." - Froggy

Gomez Addams is often appropriately categorized as a wife guy, but very rarely recognized for the himbo that he is

A lot can happen in 1 minute

And the worst part was Bruce had not been able to do anything to stop the chaos as all of this started right in the middle of a Gala, his children and him attended.

Bruce could do nothing but watch with growing internal horror as he stared at what was happening before him, champagne glass still in hand.

It all started with a fanatic suddenly getting the entire galas attention. Screaming something about Bruce Wayne will fall for them as they slammed some sort of magic duck thingy on the ground.

A second later, John Constantine, off all people, appeared yelling about finally finding the lad that stole a highly dangerous artifact while green smoke rose towards the ceiling of the hall.

By now some guest have started screaming and started to evacuate while other appeared curious thinking this was some sort of show. And shamefully Bruce had to admit that he lost sight of his children during this.

Though not even 10 seconds after Constantines entrance Bruce spied one of his children, Nightwing, crashing into the hall in gear and tackling the fanatic that was now yelling something at the smoke about fulfilling their end of the deal and granting their wish of tying Bruce Wayne to them.

5 seconds later he noticed Constantine was chanting something and the gathering smoke below the ceiling now started to glow.

At this point Bruce really wanted to dip out and join the scene as Batman but was rooted in place by a buisness partner clinging to him and trying to pull him to safety.

Another 3 seconds passed, and the smoke glowed brightly in Lazarus green. Worried Bruce tried to at least find one of his other children aside from the one that was still wrestling with the fanatic and was internally horrified to make eye contact with a wide eyed Jason and his glowing green eyes.

In the following 7 seconds he had tried to get to his son, but before he could even manage to get rid of the buisness partner still holding on to him a bright light blinded everyone for another 4 seconds.

Once their sight returned it took them another 5 seconds to realize that one the smoke was gone, two John Constantine was cursing up a storm holding a black haired kid and three the fanatic used the light to escape.

There was a stunned silence of 3 seconds before John Constantine looked around the room and suddenly zeroed down on Bruce. Bruce did not stiffen as the Brite looked at him with narrowed eyes, then down at the teen in his arms before marching over to him within the next ten seconds.

"You! You're Bruce Wayne, right? Congratulations, you got another kid via magic now. Here is the kid and my card. Call me if anything weird is happening with them." Before Bruce could even say anything, the teen was disposed into his arms together with John's apparent business card. The magican turned away from Bruce before marching over to his son in gear and starting to drag him out.

"Nightwing! Help me catch this bloody magic thief before some other summoning shit with stolen artifacts to spice up another rich guys ball or whatever goes down! I got a tracker spell on them! And call Bats while you're at it"

Right at the one minute mark. The chaos concluded to the point that Bruce Wayne was standing in the middle of a gala with a teen in his arm that was apparently magically made to be his and the fanatics child.

That was when the next kind of chaos broke out as his reminding children fought their way over to him through the suddenly coming back to live press and reporters that started to bombard him with questions about the unconscious teen in his arms.
