🌈 Dear Diary, We Created a Plot Hole! (A Slice-of-Life Fantasy Adventure set in the Philippines) ~ [UPDATED Aug 31 | 608,000 words]

Surprise! It’s time for another story world preview!

Unlike the first story world sneak peek however, this will focus more on the characters instead of the setting.

Summary

WanderLand

The second world you will visit is the fairytale story world, WanderLand, which is based on Rosie’s short story. As you might have guessed, the primary inspiration for the setting is Alice in Wonderland, but it is more of a hodgepodge of fractured fairytales, much like Shrek.

In no particular order, here are some of the characters you will meet:

Baby Sun

It’s the sun! And it’s a baby. Doesn’t do much except giggle occasionally, really.

The Gingerbread Family

A family of gingerbread people you meet while wandering through the forest. Mmm, they’re tasty…

Mother Goose

A worried goose you meet during your adventures, who’s looking for her lost gosling.

Chester Schrodinger

A Cheshire cat with a penchant for asking questions. He somehow manages to stay alive despite all the questions he’s asking. The only one in WanderLand who is aware of being mad. He also plays a mean fiddle.

The Taffy Family

A family of three bears (Baby Bear, Mama Bear, and Papa Bear) who lets the group live inside their brick house.

Tommy

Rosie’s pink penguin stroller bag who somehow became alive overnight. Tommy is a silly goober much like his namesake, but he’s more than content enough to just carry Roselyna’s things for her—that’s his only purpose anyway (besides whacking bullies), right?

Your Stuffed Toy (Gender and name customizable)

Does Uncle Robert know all along that your stuffed toy can move and talk?

Hickory, Dickory, and Dock

The three blind mice who randomly decided to live inside Tommy and helps the group in their adventures. Hickory is the leader, Dickory is the voice of reason, and Dock is the oldest and smartest of the triplets… who has a little trouble hearing others.

The Stork Baby (Gender and name customizable)

A baby carried by a stork who fell on a tree in Old MacGuffin’s barn. With no one else to rescue, the group decides to carry the baby along for the ride, and maybe find the baby’s parents.

Old MacGuffin

An old farmer who owns farm animals that sing ā€œE-I-E-I-O!ā€ Isn’t afraid to shoot his shotgun to any trespassers on his farm.

Lennie the Giant

A gentle-mannered giant who tends a garden of overgrown beanstalks.

The Big Bad Wolf

An old lady wearing a red cloak that lives in a remote gingerbread house, who mistakes Roselyna and JM (or MC and Twin) as Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

The Snow Queen

A mysterious queen who kidnaps children.

Queen Gwenevyr Heart

Rumors say that ever since her husband, King Arthur died, and her daughters, the Twelve Dancing Princesses, fled away to elope with their prince charmings, the Queen of Hearts has slowly grown more unhinged and violent.

Pinocchio

The Queen of Hearts’ trusted judge.

The Jabberwock

The Queen of Hearts’ dragon, with jaws that bite and claws that catch. Can you tame this powerful beast?

And yup, it’s the dragon beside the school bus on the cover art!

Santa Claus

Wait, why is Santa Claus in WanderLand? More importantly, does he actually know when you’re awake?


There are lots of other fairytale characters such as Rumpelstiltskin, the Tooth Fairy, and other princesses, but most of them are either mentioned only (may appear later), or have short appearances and only appear in the background.

Anyway, that’s all for now!



@yb_minhee Oh whoops, it looks like I forgot to set the variable for the [Sweet Tooth] Trait! I’ll fix it shortly.

And I’m glad you find it relatable! :smiley: Thanks for the comments, and I hope you enjoy this sneak peek in the meantime!

  • The [Sweet Tooth] Trait will now double the bonuses/penalty from the [Sugar Rush!] and [Sugar Crash] effects.
