Live Vivaldi Reaction:

heehee

Image IDs under the cut:

[[Image ID 1, Ace, Peter, and Alice stand in the great hall of Heart’s Castle. Alice was mid-freak out about not being dressed properly for the upcoming ball when Queen Vivaldi made a speech welcoming all the guests to said ball.

Ace: ...She’s the same as always. That’s Her Majesty.

Peter: She’s harsh, isn’t she? Don’t you agree, Alice?

Alice: About Vivaldi? She’s wonderful.

I’m spellbound by her. Queen Vivaldi is majestic. And seeing her in this formal enviroment only makes her even more so.

Ace: Ehh? Wonderful? Hmmm…. I guess so. She is a queen. They’re wonderful.

Peter: In what way?

Ace: Eh? I wonder? Hey Alice, what part of her do you think is wonderful?

Peter: What a careless way to put that…

There were plenty of guests showing signs of reverence and being entranced by her, but these two seemed to be an exception.

Alice: Isn’t she wonderful? She’s so cool.

Ace: Hmm. Cool, huh? So that’s cool. I couldn’t possibly copy that. I don’t think I’d want to, though.

Peter: Me neither.

Alice: I don’t think you two could be like her.

And I’m not asking them to understand.

Alice: Still… maybe men just don’t get it. Doesn’t a cool women like her have appeal? Even another woman can admire that.

Peter: ...I wouldn’t know. I’m not another woman.

Ace: ...ah. Ahhh, Alice, you swing that way, too. Ahh, I get it.

Peter: Eh? You do? I see, Alice. Even if you swing both ways, you’re wonderful. But, you have bad taste…

Alice: Why are you understanding this in a weird way? I don’t swing this way or that way!

Ace: Not this way, either? Well, that could be a problem.

Alice: I don’t want to go either way!

I’ve gotten confused which way is which in this conversation.

Alice: Hmph. You’re just feeling unjustly suspicious about the idea of admiring somebody of the same sex. It’s just not a feeling men can comprehend.

I make a point of glaring at them derisely.

Ace: Comprehend admiring the same sex? I understand that.

I was trying to be sarcastic, but Ace responds seriously.

Alice: Huh…? Yeah…?

I’m left flabbergasted at his unexpected reply.

Ace: Yeah. For example...I admire Peter.

Ace declares it with refreshing clearness. He feels so very refreshing, like a male lead in a movie about the springtime of youth.

Peter:…

Peter briskly makes more space between himself and Ace. He grimaces like the movie is actually a horror flick, and it’s a grotesque one at that.

Peter: We’ve never had much to do with each other, but even that minimal connection is ending here and now. Farewell, Ace…]]

[[Image ID 2, Having overheard Alice and Ace’s discussions of bisexuality, a blushing Vivaldi says, “Speaking of this, we go both ways.”]]

I love how fond her expression is! And how surprised he looks! And how tender the forehead touch is! And the extra body language with his hand being all stiff. Awesome job, thank you! :)

I am very intrigued by both of the named screenwriters having worked on Philip k Dick works before. That's pretty cool.

YOU GUYS OMG. IT’S HAPPENING.

THE ARTICLE SAYS NOV 3, 2028 FOR THE RELEASE DATE

[hnknafan2016]

Weirdly enough Peter does feel like he's existed for a while, but he doesn't really seem more mature or experienced than Alice, because he isn't. Like Blood and Vivaldi DO seem more mature, which is why I think you can feel the age gap there, but it seems like Peter is just now taking an interest in a more human existance, so he doesn't feel much more advanced than her. Like, he really does feel like a creature, or some kind of fae that took an interest in her and is no longer vaguely pretending to be human, but is actively getting more involved in understanding them because he's trying to understand her. Just with how he feels much less human, it puts him closer to her level, because she's young, and trying to figure stuff out, and he's never understood life stuff or cared to, so he's just learning about all this now as well. Like sure, he's had a job and responsibilities for a while, but he doesn't really understand people, or most things outside of himself, and weirdly that self-absorbed mindset has almost acted like a type of stasis. His unwillingness to engage with the world on a deeper level has robbed him of the chance to learn and grow, thus halting his maturity, and kind of has left him like a weird fancy creature of sorts, where yes, he can sort of pass for human, and follow the rules and customs as is necessary, but he doesn't really care about or understand them, he's just putting on a performance. It's only when Alice shows up that I think he really starts to live, like no, I do think he has things he enjoys, like good tea and I personally headcanon lemon desserts, but I think he views most things with a cold detachedness, like it seems like he appreciates fancy things, like good quality cloth/clothing and tea sets, so he might value fancy things based on their precieved merit, which is again not really him interacting with things based on personal enjoyment, but rather what sort of things he might be expected to enjoy as a Prime Minister, and is shaped by how he wants people to percieve him. I don't think he cares about the opinions of others individually, but I do think he thinks it's important to be considered fancy, or well-bred, or something like that? Like you know how we know that the other role-holders have things they personally enjoy? Like Vivaldi likes cute things, and red, and we know she probably confides in a few trusted maids, and she always has wisdom to offer Alice? Or how Blood has a great knowledge and love of tea, and seems to understand a great deal about how people work, which is a great asset to him in his work? My point is that it seems like the other characters seem more involved with Wonderland as a whole, and have things they care about, while before Alice showed up I think Peter mostly cared about being respected, feared, considered intelligent and--hell, even his germaphobia is another layer of distance between himself and people around him! He wears gloves, to prevent himself from experiencing direct touch! And he's literally another species! And even though other role holders are too, he's so far removed from anyone else and the world around him as a whole. I think he's gone to so much trouble to isolate himself, he literally bubbled himself, so he sort of just ended up as like this very weird creature, that isn't very human, but also would terrify any rabbit he came across. I imagine he would be a very lonely character if he cared enough to understand what loneliness is. I think that also creates this interesting juxtaposition between him and Sydney Black, where I think Sydney was isolated because of his heterochromia, and thus is alone because people have rejected him, while Peter is alone because he actively pushes people away. I think Sydney is lonely and wants people, but doesn’t believe they can love him or want him back. I think overall people aren’t worth anything to Peter, so I’m not sure he even knows how to be lonely, because he doesn’t even want company to begin with. Sorry if this is hard to understand, it was mostly a stream-of-consciousness type thing.

Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.

The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back… and a lot of pain.

These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

Are you 🫵 pissed off about the Lilo and Stitch monstrosity remake? Do you want to know how you can actually make a difference in supporting the people and ecosystems of Hawaii?

Tourism is a big issue in Hawaii (which the remake got rid of the original's commentary on because it makes foreigners look bad). I'm not gonna promote it, BUT I know that realistically, thousands of people arrive here every single day by the airplane-ful. And the majority of them aren't educated on the socio-cultural and economic impacts of tourism. SO, I'm making this post in an effort to educate visitors. If you or someone you know is visiting or moving to Hawaii (whether by circumstances in or out of your control), here are some suggestions on how you can give back!

You can donate to the Hawaii Community Foundation, which has been instrumental in giving aid to the displaced community of Lahaina after the Maui wildfires in 2023. They also provide scholarships to students of under-represented communities.

If you're interested in visiting Kualoa Ranch, you can do their Mālama Experience where you get your hands dirty giving back to the ‘āina (land)!

There are other organizations you can join to volunteer with, too, like Kupu and Mālama Maunalua. Check them out; maybe you can help with a beach cleanup or plant native trees! These are both non-profit organizations that accept monetary donations.

Visit the Bishop Museum to learn about Hawaiian history and culture! They also have events focused on sustainability and conservation.

If you're visiting Hilo on the Big Island, go visit the Laulima Nature Center! They're a non-profit aimed at protecting Hawaii's native species, and they even have an online store that ships to the US mainland and internationally! (After I post this, I'm gonna head on over and get myself a manu o Kū pin ♡)

A few other tips I have:

DO: Respect the locals' homes. Several beaches and hiking trails have access points in residential areas. Please be mindful to keep your voices down when passing by, and park ONLY in designated parking areas.

DO: Wear reef-safe sunscreen! Sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate are banned in Hawaii because they are known to damage coral reefs.

DON'T: Approach wildlife, particularly honu (sea turtles) and 'īlio holo i ka uaua (Hawaiian monk seals). Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from turtles and at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from monk seals. If you see someone harassing animals, report them to the statewide NOAA Marine Wildlife Hotline: (888) 256-9840. You can also contact the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources.

DON'T: Collect sand, rocks, or other natural items to bring home with you. This is to protect the ecosystems and also out of respect for Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians), who have cultural beliefs regarding lava rocks in particular. Taking lava rocks is extremely disrespectful.

DON'T: Litter! Please throw away your waste in proper trash cans. If you see a bin that says "ʻōpala," that's a trash can!

Many Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) are moving to the US mainland because the cost of living in Hawaii has been driven up so high (because of people moving here), they can't afford to live in their ancestral home. So, if you are going to visit or move to Hawaii, please:

- Make the effort to support local businesses, especially those owned by Native Hawaiians!

- Educate yourself and your loved ones about actual Hawaiian culture!

- Try Hawaiian food, like poi!

- Learn some Hawaiian words and don't be afraid to ask how to pronounce words correctly!

- Donate to a food bank!

- Watch films and read books written by Native Hawaiians!

My hope is that whoever sees this post will use it to educate themselves, their friends, and their families who are considering visiting.

My background is in sustainability and the environment, so that's what I know to suggest off the top of my head. If any Kānaka Maoli read this post and have suggestions to add, please do!

Teaching Kids Stranger Danger

Imagine your child heading out the door—maybe to a friend's house or the park, full of excitement and trust. As parents, we want them to hold onto that sense of wonder, while also carrying the wisdom to stay safe. Stranger danger isn't just about suspicious people in dark alleys; sometimes, risk comes from the familiar faces or ordinary moments that catch us off guard.

Modern safety lessons have changed substantially since I was a kid. Leaving behind scare tactics for honest talks, everyday practice and lessons on listening to that little voice inside. By teaching kids to notice strange behaviours, trust their gut and speak up. We're giving them tools that matter everywhere in person and online. When open conversations are the norm at home, children feel ready to ask questions and set boundaries without fear.

Rethinking ‘Stranger Danger’: The New Safety Basics

Children absorb what we show and tell them. When it comes to safety, we have to go past the old ‘never talk to strangers’ line. Real security comes from giving kids ways to judge actions around them, not just faces. New safety basics build trust and awareness, so kids learn to speak up, pause, and choose what feels safe. Here’s how modern messages change fear into power, and clear up what it really means to stay safe. At home, school, or anywhere life takes them.

The Shift From Fear to Awareness

Old warnings painted strangers as the main threat, which often left children anxious and unsure. Now, the message is simple: be aware, not afraid. Kids need to recognise risky behaviour. No matter who it comes from stranger, neighbours, or even someone familiar.

So what does this look like in real life?

Trusting your gut: Kids should know that uneasy feelings are worth listening to and talking about.

Reading the situation: Instead of judging safety by someone’s clothes or smile, children learn to notice odd behaviour, like an adult asking for help or making secret requests.

Speaking up is safe: We teach that it’s always okay to shout, say no, or tell a trusted adult. Even if it feels awkward or scary in the moment.

The goal is for every child to understand they can ask questions or share worries without blame. Changing the story from fear to skill builds real confidence. For more on this thoughtful shift, see this guide on teaching kids real safety beyond ‘stranger danger’.

Safe Strangers vs Tricky People

Not all strangers are unsafe. In fact, sometimes a child may need help from a stranger—if lost at the park, for example. This is where the idea of safe strangers comes in. Safe strangers are people most kids can turn to, like:

Police officers in uniform

Teachers and principals at school

Store clerks at a counter

Tricky people are different. A tricky person doesn’t always look scary or unfamiliar. What makes someone tricky is the way they act. For example:

They ask a child to break a rule, like keeping secrets or leaving with them.

They offer treats, rides, or gifts out of the blue.

They ignore the child’s clear “no” or try to pull them away from safe places.

A few quick red flags to practice with kids:

An adult offers a ride without telling your parents first.

Someone tells you to keep a secret from your family.

You feel confused, pressured, or scared by how someone is acting.

Responses kids should know:

Say “no” loudly and leave if something feels off.

Find a safe stranger if you need help (like going to a cashier or a parent with kids).

Tell a grown-up you trust right away, even if you’re not sure something bad truly happened.

For more tips on talking about the difference between safe strangers and tricky people, check out this expert advice on talking to your child about safety, strangers, and tricky people.

Understanding these basics shifts the old ‘stranger danger’ warning into something real and practical. Using techniques such as clear language, steady reminders and everyday talks that stick with your child as they grow.

Key Skills Every Child Should Know

Raising a child who can speak up or step away when something feels wrong starts with a set of simple, powerful skills. Instead of piling on rules or drilling kids with worst-case stories. Teach them to read their feelings, follow their instincts, and make clear choices. These skills last well beyond childhood and serve as a lifeline both at home and out in the real world.

Listening to Your Body’s Signals: Gut Feelings Kids Can Trust

Kids often sense when something’s off before they can put it into words. Butterflies in the stomach, a racing heart, sweaty palms, or just feeling “weird”—these are real warnings from their bodies. That’s their safety siren going off. I trained my boys this when they were little by referring their gut instincts as their spidey sense ( just like Spider-Man when he can sense danger).

Explain to your child that if a person or place makes them feel uncomfortable, even if they can’t explain why, it’s their body’s way of saying, “Take a step back.” Emphasise you trust their instincts. Let them know they don’t need proof or reasons to act on feelings of discomfort. Feeling uneasy is enough. This lesson helps kids begin to trust themselves, which is stronger than memorising a list of rules.

The ‘No, Go, Yell, Tell’ Plan: Simple Steps That Work

Kids need a plan that’s easy to remember and use anytime. The ‘No, Go, Yell, Tell’ steps give them a toolkit they know by heart:

No: Say no with a strong voice and serious face, even if it feels awkward or the other person is an adult they know.

Go: Get away fast—walk, run, pedal, or roll, but put distance between themselves and the risky situation.

Yell: Make noise to draw attention. Shout for help. Use words like, “This is not my parent!” or “Help, I need help!”

Tell: Find a trusted adult and tell them exactly what happened.

Example: If someone at the park asks your child to leave with them or tells them to keep a secret—your child can use this plan. They don’t need to whisper or wait for proof. Practicing this at home makes it second nature in the real world.

Setting Boundaries With Words and Actions

Children should know it’s always okay to say no, walk away, or speak up, even to adults they know well. Practice common phrases together, such as:

“No, I don’t want to.”

“Please stop. That makes me uncomfortable.”

“I need to go find my parent now.”

Show kids they can back up their words with actions—stepping back, moving to another group, or telling another adult.

Children have a right to refuse any touch or requests for secrets, even from favourite relatives or friends’ parents. Setting these boundaries early builds confidence for when it matters most. For more strategies on how to talk about and teach boundaries, see this advice on teaching kids about boundaries.

Kids don’t have to be polite at the cost of their own comfort. Remind them: Their voice and their feelings count every time. For helpful guides and practical tips, you can also refer to this resource on teaching boundaries and safety.

Practice Makes Safe: Everyday Learning and Role-Play

Children remember what they practice with hands-on learning and play. Turning safety lessons into repeatable habits helps them react quickly and calmly—no matter the situation. Think of it like fire drills or crossing the street: with each practice run, kids build their instincts to act and speak up. Playful role-play and set routines turn talking into muscle memory, so when the real moment comes, their actions feel automatic and confident.

Role-Playing Common Scenarios: Small Rehearsals for Big Safety

Short, simple role-playing brings lessons to life. Kids get to act out what they’d really say and do, so their bravest moves aren't just talk. Try quick, age-friendly scenarios like these at home:

“A neighbour asks you to come into their house to see a new puppy—what do you do?”

“Someone you don’t know says your parent is waiting for you in their car.”

“An adult at the park asks for help finding their lost dog.”

During practice, show your child how to use a clear voice, keep their distance and move with purpose. Let them try out saying “no” strong and loud. Remind them it’s okay to be rude if something feels wrong.

Change up the roles—let your child play both the adult and the kid to deepen the lesson. For more scenarios and question prompts, see this list of kid safety role-play situations and scripts.

Family Safety Plans and Code Words: Secure Routines and Smart Secrets

Safety becomes second nature when families stick to clear plans and private code words. These tools give everyone a script to follow—no guesswork if something feels off.

Start with a family password. This is a word or phrase your family chooses together, something secret but simple. Teach your child that anyone truly sent by you will know the password. No password? No going anywhere, no matter who asks.

Here’s how to make these lessons stick:

Pick a password everyone can remember but strangers won’t guess.

Role-play pickup scenarios from school, practice or playdates. Ask, “What do you do if someone offers you a ride but doesn’t know the password?”

Choose a family meeting spot inside and outside your home. At a park or shopping centre, pick a visible landmark. At home, pick a room where everyone gathers during drills.

Run simple safety drills:

Practice an emergency pick-up at the playground, testing the password.

Walk through what to do if you’re separated in a crowd—meet at the planned spot, look for a safe stranger if needed, and never leave with anyone not using the code word.

Remind children to “look for helpers” like uniformed staff or parents with kids if they feel lost or unsafe.

Regular review makes safety plans as automatic as buckling a seatbelt. Children are often reassured knowing there’s a routine, even when things go wrong. To build a full family response plan, explore these kid focused guides on emergency planning for families and family emergency preparedness. Having clear steps can make all the difference when every second matters.

Safety Online and in Everyday Places

Children build safety habits everywhere they go—whether they’re home for an afternoon, headed to school, or browsing the internet. These lessons grow their confidence in real-world spots and on screens. Giving kids a strong sense of who to trust and where to turn keeps them alert but never frightened. Let’s ground these lessons in everyday actions to make safety a normal part of life.

Staying Safe at Home and School: Guidelines for Independent Time

Independence is a big step for kids—walking to school, staying home alone, or waiting at the bus stop. When kids know the right steps and who to reach for help, their freedom grows in safe, steady ways.

Key habits for home and school safety:

Clear check-in plans: Set a rule for your child to check in as soon as they get home or arrive at school. This can be a text, call, or even a quick video chat.

Lock-up routines: Remind them to lock doors and not open them for anyone they don’t know, even if the visitor says it’s urgent or uses friendly language.

Know safe adults and places: Identify trusted neighbours, school staff, and local businesses your child can go to if they feel worried. It’s a good idea to walk or drive by these spots together so your child knows what to look for.

Emergency contacts: Make sure your child memorises or has written down your number and the number of another trusted adult.

Safety first on the go: If your child walks or bikes to school, choose busy routes, cross at crosswalks and walk with a friend when possible. Stress that they should never accept rides, gifts, or invitations from anyone without your clear okay.

Smart Habits for Internet Safety

Photo by Ron Lach

Online spaces can be confusing for kids—the rules aren’t always clear, and people aren’t always who they say. Laying down house rules and safe habits gives your child tools to spot trouble online and know what to do.

Set house rules for internet use:

Only visit websites, apps, and games your parents approve.

Never share real names, addresses, school names, pictures, or passwords—no matter how friendly someone seems.

Use privacy settings and keep accounts set to private.

Spot warning signs of grooming or unsafe behaviour:

Someone asks your child to keep secrets or move conversations to private messages.

A person pressures your child for personal info, photos, or wants to meet in person.

Unwanted messages that make your child feel scared, confused, or trapped.

Encourage your child to:

Tell a trusted adult about any message, image, or online chat that feels wrong—even if it’s embarrassing or scary.

Block and report anyone who asks for secrets, gifts, or private details.

Use strong passwords and never share them, even with friends.

For a step-by-step house internet safety guide, visit this page on kids’ rules for online safety. More specific tips on privacy and what to do about cyberbullying can be found at Internet Safety Tips for Children and Teens.

Keeping the internet a friendly place starts with smart family conversations. Repeating these rules and warning signs makes safe choices second nature—at home, at school, and anywhere your child connects.

Conclusion

Teaching kids to spot danger is not about fueling fear or mistrust. It’s about lighting a quiet confidence inside them. Showing them what safe feels like and what to do if something seems off, anywhere life takes them.

Open talks at home and small practice steps turn caution into strength. Walking your child through tricky scenarios, setting family passwords, and making space for every question leaves them ready for the world—not walled off from it.

Real security starts with a child’s voice and a parent’s listening ear. Keep the conversation going, keep practicing together and your child’s sense of safety will grow as steady as their stride.

Thank you for reading and working to build a safer future, one trusting talk and brave skill at a time. If you found these tips useful, share your own stories or keep the conversation alive with someone you care about—every voice makes a difference.

It’s a shame that Peter and Vivaldi aren’t friends, because if they were I imagine that they would be very bitchy together
