A Reply From The Folks At ITVX (WARNING: For Fun)

Dear Miss S.S,
What we saw yesterday evening was shocking and untruthful, so we asked our friend Princess Celestia to let us send you this letter on our behalf.

But thankfully, you have learnt about the concept of a chain reaction. As we may have well heard, you have been bullied countless times at every school you have been to, mostly by the boys here. You can tell how much of a pain boys are - when you were at Collie P, one boy shouted and screamed at you because you were different. And then, at Willie D, some more torment was too much for your shoulders to lift.

And then, in Dornie A, there was this horrid boy named Kenneth who slapped you and made fun of you. We never thought we'd say this, but thanks to our Thunderbirds & Co live stream...

HE DESERVES TO GO TO HELL!
Yours sincerely,
The kind folks at ITVX
ITVXXX OOO

Mr Men & Father Christmas: A Review

Mr. Men Meet Father ChristmasMr. Men Meet Father Christmas by Roger Hargreaves
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adam Hargreaves really was inspired by the late '90s Mr Men special The Christmas Letter to write this story, wasn't he?

Anyway, this book is perfect for calming small children down on Christmas Eve, as he or she and their parent is depicted as Mr Daydream and Little Miss Tiny going on a Christmas journey before bedtime before the big day.

I would love to go on a Christmas journey like this. Take me, Mr Daydream, quick, TAKE ME!

Thunderbirds: Day Of Disaster: A Review

 

Thunderbirds: Day of Disaster: Gordon saves the Day!Thunderbirds: Day of Disaster: Gordon saves the Day! by Sally Byford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

#internationalrescue,thinkofthekids!

The most insane kid friendly adaptation of a Thunderbirds story ever written by Carlton.

And when Brains danced at the end, people didn't think of him as crazy - at least people didn't think he eats spaghetti with his fingers!

Dear Princess Celestia: Making Fun Of Thunderbirds - PWNED!

Dear Princess Celestia,
URGH! You won't believe what some people do to harshly crush my friends from International Rescue under their hobnail boots.

When my Mum made fun of International Rescue earlier, I immediately stood up for every single team member I knew, even Lady Penelope, Alan, Tin Tin and Parker, by harshly telling Mum off like our roles have been swapped.

And then, I gave her the ultimate punishment: to get me some Thunderbirds comics on my Christmas list! It wasn't because I was bratty and spoilt, it was because I'm niche, and I care deeply about my friends from International Rescue.

It's not just that, I care about every other one of Gerry Anderson's characters too.
Yours angrily,
Your faithful student

Mr Men Christmas Party: A Review

 

Mr. Men: The Christmas PartyMr. Men: The Christmas Party by Roger Hargreaves
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A charming, heartfelt, warm Christmas story about inclusion during the festive season.

My favourite part was when Mr Strong, Mr Muddle, Mr Greedy and even L.M Naughty helped Mr Happy prepare everything for the party, and Mr Greedy's Yule Log looked so delicious!

I want to join them!

A Late Letter From Princess Celestia About The Kindest Company In The World

My dear student,
I was amazed by how the people at Townhouse Books knew you cannot visit The Works anymore due to it being too expensive, so they offered you a whole batch of colouring books to make up for no longer visiting your all time favourite shop.

With your traumatizing support worker having too much time on her hands with her big family and her new puppy, Diggy, she never had any time to take you or even any of the other people she supports to Inverness. Not for a notebook, or a pack of pens, or even a takeaway from McDonalds.

As for me, I have my own hectic job taking care of my own yellow and white puppy, Sunshine. She keeps digging everything in the Canterlot Gardens, and as for Luna's Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, Dusty, she keeps sleeping and eating all day.

Can you imagine?
Humbly,
Your friend,
Princess Celestia

A Reply From Princess Celestia About Creative Achievements

My faithful Earth student,
Oh sweet sun and moon, what an achievement!

When I heard you got 70,000 views on your Hobbycraft review, I wrote a long letter on one of my parchments asking Hobbycraft to restock old My Little Pony craft kits, mainly collaborate with Hasbro on some new ones.

But the sad news is, with the mention of Hasbro, the staff at Hobbycraft said that the big H was getting more and more money from letting every single TV channel in the UK air those horribly loud Transformers films.

Sometimes, I wish I had my Trolls ear defenders. Princess Luna has her Madagascar ones, though I wish I could borrow Twilight's Pretty Cure ones.
Humbly,
Your friend,
Princess Celestia

Dear Princess Celestia: 1,000!

Dear Princess Celestia,
Oh joy! Oh love! Oh sweet Party Cannons!

I have some really exciting news of what happened about almost yesterday.

Not only did I get 70,000 people seeing my Google Maps review of Hobbycraft, but I also got lots of people coming to see my Stingray videos! YAHOO!

Speaking of which, Twilight recently told me she had a phone call with you to tell you that Spike has been spending a lot of time with Marina, her puppy Buttons and her seal Oink, and all of them are best friends. And guess what? All of them love sharing chocolate milk together.

Now....relax.
Yours creatively,
Your faithful Earth student

Thunderbirds: Cry Wolf: The Kid Friendly Adventures Of Scott Tracy: A Review

#internationalrescue,thinkofthekids!

Finally, my first ever kid friendly Thunderbirds short story! Read from the comfort of my own mouth.

The illustrations remind me a lot of the cover art of every single Putumayo album, and they used simpler terms to appeal to a younger or sensitive audience who love International Rescue as much as adults, like they turned the used of the word 'Voodoo Spells' into 'Magic'.

Altogether now: BICYCLE BELL, I'LL WEAVE YOU A SPELL!

A Few Fun Facts About Pit Of Peril

You see this darling woman on the back cover of this promotional Thunderbirds DVD?
Why, it's me, your loving, wise carer, Lady Penelope. Just to be on the safe side, even when I was raised by Parker in this ramshackle house, I seem to know a lot.
Even about this episode.

Thomas' Friend, Diesel: A Review

 

Thomas & Friends DieselThomas & Friends Diesel by Thomas & Friends
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This short original story set a few weeks after the events of the whole arc involving Duck's rivalry with devious Diesel is a great small story for teaching small kids about second chances and never giving up.

My favourite picture was the one of Devious Diesel with a grey sky and noisy thunder and lightning above him - it makes him look like a super evil bad guy!

By the way, I do wish for a crossover between Marvel and Thomas someday.
