When I Become Queen, This Will Happen...

I'm Gonna Be Queen Again!

You remember, back in 2021, I refused to go to the Hub because I had mental health issues which apparently ruined my life? Well now, I'm going to regain my title of royalty again!

The news had just come in that my peer just had a dream where I ran home screaming and crying like a total Caillou because I wasn't allowed to go to my support worker's houses anymore. I wasn't even allowed to see Stan, or Princess, or even dear little Angel again! I threw myself on the bed and banged my fist on the pillow for what felt like hours, until my peer suggested we refurbish the attic to make it look pretty and stylish.

But now, my peer's dream has become a reality, not to mention mine to be included. Everyone at Key is going to arrange to make rooms for me at the Dornoch and Brora Hubs so that I can regain my title of royalty again, and once again become what I was made for - being a queen! And, given that some days will be a bit boring, my support workers and I will allow Mum to take a short break so we can bake and do all sorts of fun things together - it's like a playdate party at my house!

Oh, and one more thing:

"How lovely," said the Queen.

Letter To Plucky

Dear Plucky,

Ever since you were born among Fox and Vixen’s cream-furred cubs, Bold, Dreamer, Charmer and Friendly, you’ve been laughed at by the other animals and made fun of by Weasel, Adder and Toad. As far as I’ve been told, before you were even introduced in the series, you loved taking walks by yourself around White Deer Park to contemplate why you were so different from the other cubs.

Your walks, while offscreen, were an inspiration to anyone who had dark thoughts on their mind. You liked to roll down hills, smell the flowers in the meadow, splash in the river, swim and relax in the lake without Adder to bite you on your orange bum and tail, and sleep in the shade without anyone harming you.

And I heard that the animals never eat anything - apart from each other! So sometimes you would go into the human town for a wander and play with the kids in the playground, or explore shops to smell perfume or taste some chocolate, and sometimes steal meat and bread from the butcher and the baker to bring back to the park. Everyone should be proud of you, Plucky, and maybe Fox too - food shortages are never found here with you!

Love,

Sybil

A Letter To Spear & Fang

Dear Spear & Fang,

I’m sorry to hear that one of you is going to be replaced by an AI-generated zombie clone to save money instead of a puppet or another actor. Spear, I’m sorry about what you have to go through after your ‘death’ in Season 2 of Primal, and it makes me sad that people would abandon the human creativity they held so dear in favour of stupid, useless AI.

I mean, we can use AI for ideas and everything, but we can’t use AI to control what cartoons or kids’ shows we see on the telly. I mean, using AI can make entertainment so fast paced it can make every single kid in the world angry and scream until they burst into distraught tears. Speaking of, it’s nice you’re not letting Fang’s two dinosaur children, Meat and Bone, watch Cocomelon, because it makes them throw tantrums in public.

Oh, and dare I mention, Cocomelon looks like it’s been made with AI? Oh dear no! And, from the information I looked up on Instagram, Mainframe was responsible for creating it! No way! They would be better off creating slow paced CGI like back in the day, like they did with ReBoot, or Beast Wars, or Barbie, or Max Steel. Don’t you think it’s a great idea for everyone to stop using AI?

Love,

Sybil

A Letter To Chiquita

Dear Chiquita,

How’s life after filming of Scooby Doo’s Monster Of Mexico? I’ve been told that you’ve been named this way after the brand of bananas that have a spicy fruit hat lady as its mascot when you were born - still, you’re my favourite character in the entire film, and I heard you set up a gang consisting of different dogs.

Their names, as you told me, are Taco, Burrito, Soggy, Cactus, Koko and Baby. Baby’s just a puppy, but you and your gang are never afraid to show your spice. Breakfast from Taco Bell, scratching itchy patches against cacti and using red chilli aftershave to wash yourself every single day. Ah, can life get any better for you? Although, you must’ve had bad scars and scorched armpits from using that red hot chilli aftershave.

I heard you kept in contact with Lady & The Tramp II star Angel due to shared similarities in design. She and Scamp are married and have pups of their own now - I bet their wedding cake tasted of dog treats and bone meat! Ha ha! But still, you spiced it up at the time with some nice Mexican food, like your friend Scooby taught you to eat. You always know how to spice people’s lives up with excitement!

Amor,

Sybil

A Letter About An Abacus

Dear Furaha,

I’ve heard from your carer Optimus Prime that there are five colours on an abacus, all representing your two charges and three of your dearest friends - Furaha, Orko, Josh, Laura and Berto. The yellow beads represent Furaha and her sweetness, kindness and mischief. The red beads represent Orko’s brotherly nature towards his little furry sister. The green beads? You know them, when there’s green, Josh is around - he’s very kind and caring towards Furaha, and makes a good babysitter. The purple beads represent Laura and her kindness and softness towards Orko, and Furaha if she has time. And finally, the blue beads represent Berto, and how he loves to play board games and share Choco Nutties together with Orko, even when they’re fighting over the last one in the supermarket.

Let me tell you something: each bead represents a lovely, gentle story in their lives, whether Josh and Laura are babysitting Furaha and Orko or your two little ones are going on adventures together. Whatever keeps the beads apart from each other keeps you together no matter what. Because these beads are the group of friends that come together and make each other feel happy with what they have.

Love,

Sybil

A Letter About Abandonment

Dear Furaha,

Do you remember the time when you and Orko were left all alone in the rainy streets? You didn’t mind - you were used to the darkness, but were almost blinded by the sunlight during morning time. You had such fun, I trust you, you went into every restaurant to scour for food and played in the basketball courts and playgrounds. Such fun….until you hitched a ride on the back of a truck.

You were enjoying the ride and relaxing with the flow of the truck’s drive, when suddenly one bump in the road and TUMBLE TUMBLE TOO! You landed in the forest. Another place to survive, I presume. You didn’t mind, I know - you climbed trees, jumped in muddy puddles, splashed in the river and rolled down hills. You had a whale of a time, I reckon, you enjoyed fishing and collecting berries for dinner - you had full tummies in no time.

But then, you went onto the beach when the sun went down one evening. It was such a beautiful sight - the sky coloured blue and pink, and you rested on Orko’s lap while he whistled a soft, gentle tune and the sound of the gulls faded away as the sky became pitch black. And then…silence. Take care of yourselves, I love you.

Love,

Sybil
