Is it? What evidence do we have that Dreamlands was created for such a purpose? Or any specific purpose? It’s just there, like our world. It probably has its fair share of unfortunate events (such as an evil dragon overlord), just as we do on Earth. Given the tone of this story, it’s natural that there would be a focus on the good things. By that same token, a child-friendly story set on earth would similarly exclude certain negative things. This whole ‘caring for the humans here’ thing in Dreamlands seems to me like a cultural practice that the Dreamlanders do, ROUGHLY like how many human cultures care for various animals as pets. [However, the requirement for a human king (or presumably queen) complicates this; I would conclude that it is just a tradition, not a metaphysical requirement; after all, it's not like Dreamlands has warped more than socially since Nicodemus took over.] Felicity is young here and clearly lacking a parental model, so any taboos against getting human children in trouble may not have been ingrained in her.

Oh my god! This is so adorable! I wasn’t sure about investing the time in reading the archive up to now, but this is so adorable, it justifies everything!

Why are people saying Dreamland is supposed to be teaching kids? The two worlds just kinda coexist, its not like either was created to provide a service.

Felicity has just that touch of exasperation with Nicole in panel one, like she’s thinking, “Yeah, right! Like that’s a problem!”

I’m fairly certain I remember reading something in Felicity’s introduction scene – she says she was caught for some small offense and the guards have been after her several times since. Will go back and look for it, unless someone else (one of the new readers, maybe?) remembers exactly what it was..

…Cuter? They get CUTER?

Nu-uh. Refuse to believe. They’re about as cute as possible here! Different to how the other kids in Dreamland are portrayed, but it works.
I wonder what happens. Everyone’s talking about “they”, who they are, what awful thing they did because of how it changed Nicole- but I’m not so sure it’s something huge. A small thing can have a huge affect on someone, especially children; it could be as simple as Felicity getting caught. I’m more concerned about the way Nicole blanked it out of her memory- that’s what makes me think it’s something more.

Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!

Nicole needs to shrink herself from the neck down; maybe then she’d be less grouchy.
