Pokemon Go Fest 2021 took place on July 17 and 18! It was one of the biggest events Pokemon Go gamers have ever seen. With new shinys, new Pikachu costumes, new styles, and more, this event was a blast for all involved, including myself!
After our month of fun, Niantic has something special for us. Niantic hasn’t shared what that is, but I think they have left a few hints on day two when we saw weird portals in the sky. I can’t wait to see what it is!
I will admit, I fixed one of the files. The decoration file had the banners and the sign, but Niantic forgot to include the Pop Star Pikachu and the Rock Star Pikachu images to glue to the sign and display. They also forgot the cool Rock n’ Roll and Pop Star Posters. My Decoration file includes those. I also created coloring pages of the two Pikachu’s in their musical outfits to add to the collection. One can never have too many printables of awesomeness.
There is a French cartoon that I absolutely adore called Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. The show is about a girl named Marinette Dupain-Cheng, who claims to be an average girl with an average life. However, when Paris is under siege, Marinette becomes a superheroine thanks to her Kwami, Tiki. When she says, “Tiki, Spots on”, she suddenly transforms into Ladybug. With her magical yoyo, lucky charm, and the help of Cat Noir, Ladybug saves the town and resets the damages done by the akumatized people.
This amazing show teaches perseverance, helping others, staying true to your word, kindness, priorities, trusting others, and so much more. It teaches the qualities a person needs to become a superhero , no Kwami needed. Of course, who wouldn’t want a kwami? They are so cute!
However, where there is a hero, there is always a villain. Hawk Moth, the villain of the series, wrecks havoc on the people of Paris by using their misfortune and intense feelings against them. He akumatizes those who are suffering in an attempt to steal the Miraculous’ of Ladybug and Cat Noir. He is a constant problem and the main reason Ladybug and Cat Noir are needed in the streets of Paris.
Because I love this show so much, I’ve decided to create a fun fee little party kit for all us fans. It’s great for birthdays, celebrations, movie night, or just because we need a party in our life. I even included a fun game of checkers with a special rule. In this game, all of our pieces start akumatized. Players play a normal game of checkers but there is only one way to win and several ways to lose. To prevent Hawk Moth from winning the game, we must de-evilize all of our pieces in play and capture all of our opponent’s pieces. If any of the players pieces are akumatized after collecting all of their opponent’s pieces, Hawk Moth wins. If there are no moves left for a player to play, Hawk Moth wins. Can you beat the game and beat Hawk Moth?

There is one small hilarious concern with this kit:
FabEveryday.com, the creators of the Chickaletta’s Chicken Nuggets Recipe, has a weird sense of humor. I am not saying the recipe itself is weird, I’m saying the title ‘Chickaletta’s Chicken Nuggets’ is sort of morbid…ok, very morbid hahaha.
Let’s put it this way, if the chicken nuggets are, in fact, Chickaletta’s, something terrible had to have happened to that poor chicken, the PAW Patrol was unable to save her, and she became delicious chicken nuggets. Or, if it is Chickaletta’s recipe, Chickaletta has a dark side when it comes to her own kind. Either way, it is a little disturbing and I can’t help but chuckle. This recipe could possibly use a name change but even if we call them Chickaletta’s snacks, it sort of turns our adorable chicken into a cannibal. So here is the ultimate question, what would you call this delicious chicken nugget recipe?

Then print, create, and enjoy for the ultimate summer party bash. Be sure to also include a suncatcher bar where fans can create their very own PAW Patrol dino suncatcher!

Welcome to Portorosso, the most charming sea side town you will ever find. All are welcome…unless of course, you are a sea monster. Disney/Pixar have released a new coming of age animated feature call Luca. Luca is a sea monster that dreams about the surface and all that it contains. When he meets Alberto, a fellow sea monster that lives like a human in the human world, Luca takes the plunge out of the water to learn what the world has to offer. Streaming now on Disney+, Luca is an imaginative and colorful story.
While I love the art and characters in the movie Luca, I can’t say I really like this coming of age story. The idea that a child must run away from home in order to find himself is really quite horrid. I get that there are prejudices on both sides making it hard for a child to develop and find himself, but the act of running away just because one disagrees with their parents is not something I can condone or endorse. Running away is a very hard and tragic leap for all family members involved. With so many runaways never found again and families left to their own imagination on what could have happened to their child, it seems rather callus to make such a story. There are many different ways for a child to discover who he is with supportive parents in this curious world. I wish Disney could find a way to write one of those stories.
I am happy that the prejudices on both sides are identified and worked through as a community in the end. Thankfully, the kids find a path everyone can agree on and that the parents discuss what is best for their child’s future. We have Luca following his dreams, Alberto finding an accepting and loving home, and an entire community learning that not all sea monsters are monsters and sea monsters learning that not all humans and monsters. Unfortunately, it took a runaway scenario to make this change happen.
I think, before parents let their children watch Luca, there should be a quick conversation. Sit the kids down, explain the theme in the movie, but also explain that this is fiction; running away will not solve their problems. This will allow them to communicate their feelings and let them know that they can always talk to their parents and get help when needed. Every single human being on this planet has been through the ‘who am I stage’, and many of us are still there. This is common, this is normal, and there are people who can help when it gets tough.
In honor of the release of Luca on Disney+, Disney has released a fun activity pack for fans to download print and create. Featuring Guilia, Alberto, Luca, and other characters from the film, this activity pack is fun for the whole family.
