And a father you'll wish was uh.... better? I'm out of applicable rhymes, sue me. (Please don't actually sue me.)

What's this? It's after 10 and I *haven't* posted memes yet? Egads! I must fix this!

To celebrate 2 years of Smash the World'd Shell, here are some out of context memes about the sequel, tentatively titled Beyond the World's Shell! Coming eventually! 🧵

Describe a favorite movie in the most misleading way possible.

107 minutes about the joys of being inside someone else.

Went into Target today for a bottle of water, came out with a dragon, and also got photobombed by my cat's feet. Seems like a purr-fectly THRILLING turn of events to me! (Now if only I had a Glory to go with her....) #WingsOfFire #plushies #books #kidlit

Holy crow, Smash the World's Shell has genuine, bonafide, and *gorgeous* fan art now, courtesy of @a-cynthica-l.bsky.social, as commissioned by @clashmovator.bsky.social!

Looks Shard's having a good ol' fashioned cry in this one. Good thing Ellen's there to lend an ear. #dragons #fanart #books

Omg! Since when are there over 100 of you??? Either you guys really like dragons, or you guys **really** like dragons! Thanks a ton either way—and please pretend I've closed this post out with something witty and hilarious! 😝

Post someone you've been told you look like, but you don't.

(Sure, we're both brunettes named Daniel, but there's a key difference - he has blue eyes! Also, the overwhelming gap in fame and wealth, *I GUESS,* but I like to look past the surface to the traits that actually matter. 😜 )
