[BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE] is the debut studio album by canadian singer-songwriter, professional hockey player and berklee college of music student MADELAINE STORM, released independently in 2024.
the album was written and recorded over the course of STORM’s early college years, with additional creative contributions from a rotating cast of collaborators — most unexpectedly including a group of college hockey players who contributed to songwriting sessions, background vocals, and chaotic late-night studio energy that became part of the album’s mythos.
SUPERSCAR, SWEET DREAMS and TEARS FOR FUN are some of the album singles and most popular tracks.

OPINION COLUMNS
if saving lives is a crime, what does that say about the law?, by nezha hillman.
the discussion about whether madelaine storm, fifteen, should be considered a criminal boils down to one point. every system she broke had already failed.
heroism does not excuse lawlessness, by jack gullivan.
the romanticization of madelaine storm’s actions sets a dangerous precedent. if individuals are permitted to override national security systems based on personal conviction, we invite chaos and not justice.
LIVE NEWS BROADCAST — TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT
ANCHOR: this is unprecedented. we are looking at a situation where a minor—a foreign minor—successfully breached multiple government systems, including defense-level satellite arrays.
CO-ANCHOR: and may have single-handedly saved the lives of the storm-richards crew in doing so. a crew that was, until hours ago, presumed dead.
ANCHOR: exactly! and that raises the question: is madelaine storm a criminal, or a hero?”
SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY RESPONSE
excerpt from emergency panel hosted by MIT
“this wasn’t just mindless hacking by a teenager trying to prove something. this was systems engineering on a level we rarely see outside coordinated agencies. she identified a non-standard spatial displacement scenario using incomplete data... and then she solved it.”
“with what resources?”
“a building. and spite, apparently.”
GOVERNMENT PRESS RELEASE (EXCERPT)
“while we acknowledge the recovery of the storm-richards crew, the unauthorized actions taken by madelaine storm constitute serious violations of both domestic and international law. an investigation is ongoing.”
FORMAL CHARGE SUMMARY (U.S. DISTRICT COURT – EXCERPT)
DEFENDANT: madelaine eloise storm, fifteen years of age, canadian citizenship.
CHARGES:
unauthorized access to protected government systems
interference with national defense infrastructure
unauthorized manipulation of satellite navigation arrays
international cyber intrusion across multiple sovereign systems
JOINT STATEMENT FROM SUSAN STORM-RICHARDS, JONATHAN STORM, DR. REED RICHARDS, AND BENJAMIN J. GRIMM
in light of recent events and the ongoing public and legal discussions surrounding our return, we feel it is important to provide a clear and comprehensive account of our experience, as well as to address the role played by madelaine storm.
following the cosmic radiation incident that disrupted our mission, our spacecraft suffered a cascading systems failure that could not be explained by mechanical damage alone. communication arrays ceased to function, navigation systems became unreliable, and sensor data presented contradictions that rendered traditional interpretation impossible. subsequent analysis has led us to conclude that the vessel had undergone a form of spatial displacement, existing partially out of phase with conventional space-time conditions. while we remained within the broader vicinity of our original trajectory, we were effectively undetectable and unable to transmit or receive signals through any known communication channels.
under these circumstances, recovery by conventional means was not simply unlikely—it was, to the best of our understanding at the time, impossible.
we responded as we were trained to do. we stabilized what systems we could, rationed available resources, and attempted all known methods of reestablishing contact with earth. each attempt failed. as time progressed and no response was received, it became increasingly clear that our situation had shifted from one of delayed recovery to one of indefinite isolation. the absence of external confirmation forced us to confront a reality in which no assistance would arrive, and in which our ability to return under our own power was severely compromised.
it was during this period that we observed the first anomaly.
initially, it presented as a series of faint, intermittent flashes of light, appearing to originate from reflected solar radiation interacting with nearby particulate matter or debris. however, upon closer observation, the pattern revealed a deliberate structure. the intervals were not random and the sequence repeated. after careful analysis, we identified it as morse code.
the message was brief and unmistakably personal:
“ITS MADDIE. I FOUND YOU. HOLD ON.”
the significance of that moment cannot be overstated. prior to receiving this signal, our actions had been guided by procedure and probability, both of which indicated diminishing chances of survival. the appearance of a structured, intelligible message — one that could only have originated from someone actively searching for us — altered that assessment entirely. it provided not only confirmation that we had been located, but also evidence that a solution was being pursued.
in the hours that followed, the signal evolved. what began as a communication attempt developed into a coordinated system of spatial markers. we observed a series of aligned light points, shifting in position with measurable consistency. these were not passive signals; they were dynamic, responsive, and precise. it became evident that we were not merely being contacted, but gguided.
dr. richards determined that this system functioned as a form of distributed navigation corridor, constructed through the synchronization of multiple orbital assets. given the nature of our displacement, traditional navigation was insufficient. the guidance we received compensated for that limitation by providing a continuous reference framework against which we could adjust our trajectory in real time.
we followed this guidance despite the inherent risks, as it represented the only coherent path available to us.
during re-entry, our vessel remained structurally compromised, and we were experiencing physiological effects resulting from our exposure to the cosmic event, which impaired our ability to respond effectively to rapidly changing conditions. despite this, the externally generated guidance system maintained a level of precision that allowed us to make the necessary corrections to survive atmospheric descent.
we are alive as a direct result of that system.
we are also aware that its creation required unauthorized access to a wide range of terrestrial and orbital infrastructures, including systems governed by multiple national jurisdictions. we do not dispute that these actions fall outside established legal frameworks. however, it is equally important to recognize the context in which those actions were taken.
at the time the guidance system was constructed, official recovery efforts had ceased, and we had been presumed lost. no viable alternative method of rescue existed. madelaine storm acted independently, without institutional support, under extreme emotional and physical strain, and sustained a continuous operational effort for approximately ninety-six hours without rest.
her actions were not arbitrary, nor were they reckless in execution. they were deliberate, calculated, and informed by a level of technical understanding that enabled her to succeed where existing systems had failed.
we experienced firsthand what it means to be beyond reach, without a path home, and without any reasonable expectation of recovery. the signal we received and the system that followed changed that reality.
madelaine did not simply locate us. she created the conditions that made our return possible.
we recognize that there are legal considerations that must be addressed, and we do not presume to dictate the outcome of those proceedings. however, we believe that any evaluation of her actions must fully account for both their intent and their result.
without her intervention, we would not be here to make this statement. for that, we are not only grateful.
we all talk a lot about our significant others, powers, backstories, jobs, and everything else in our different realities—and i love that. i love how everyone goes somewhere that is a safe space for themselves.
but the thing i’ve always loved most is family. for better or worse, they shape who you are. so i decided to introduce all of you to mine!
across universes, timelines, and all the different ways we became a family, i love each and every one of them. and yes, my families are very healthy (lol), simply because i don’t feel like going through family trauma.
please, i would love to know about your families, so, well, consider this a trend and you are tagged! yes, you, reading this! show me your family! tag me in your post so i can see it!
SUE & JOHNNY STORM — in several drs (including my hockey and ice skater ones), i’m the youngest storm sibling, which is one of my favorite dynamic ever. there’s just something about being the baby of the family that comes with equal parts love, overprotectiveness, and absolute chaos.
sue basically raised me after our parents died when i was a toddler, so she’s more than just a sister. she’s the one who braided my hair before early practices, patched me up after fights (on and off the ice), and gave the look whenever johnny and i were about to do something stupid—which, to be fair, was often. i love her in ways i don’t even know how to put into words.
johnny, on the other hand, has always been my personal brand of chaos. he’s the kind of older brother who hypes me up like i’m the coolest person alive, then immediately dares me to do something mildly illegal (which i usually do). he’s also the first person to defend me, no questions asked. plus, he definitely sneaks me snacks or covers for me when sue’s in serious mode.
honorable mention to reed, my brother-in-law, who treats me like a fascinating science experiment half the time but will absolutely drop everything to help me if i need it. and ben? he’s basically my unofficial uncle—big hugs, terrible jokes, and the safest person to sit next to when everything feels overwhelming.
honestly, no matter the universe, we somehow always find each other—and it always feels like home. i have nothing but love for my fantastic family <3
LOGAN HOWLETT — in a few of my drs, namely one of my formula one realities, he’s my dad, which is… exactly as intense as it sounds and somehow still softer than anyone would expect.
he’s not big on words, but he shows up in all the ways that matter. he’s the one silently waiting after big moment, arms crossed, pretending he’s not proud when i do well—but i know he is. he taught me how to take a hit and get back up, how to trust my instincts, and how to stand my ground without losing myself in the process.
our relationship is a lot of quiet understanding. he's not overly affectionate while i am, but there are small things—like him fixing my clothes and hair without saying a word, or making sure i ate—that mean everything. and when it counts, he’s always there. no hesitation, no questions.
he can be gruff, stubborn, and a little overprotective (okay, a lot), but he’s also fiercely loyal and cares more deeply than he lets on. being his kid means knowing i’ll always have someone in my corner, even if he pretends he’s just “keeping an eye on things.”
YZMA AMAYARA — she’s my mom in my ever after high, and yes, she is the best mom ever (i will not be taking questions).
she’s dramatic, brilliant, and just the right amount of unhinged, which somehow translates into the most entertaining and surprisingly effective parenting style. i grew up in a whirlwind of potions, schemes, and iconic outfits, and that built character. she’s the kind of mom who hypes me up like i’m royalty (i am), teaches me how to outsmart literally anyone, and insists that presentation is everything.
she’s also way more caring than people give her credit for. like, sure, she might threaten someone in a very creative way if they mess with me—but she’ll also stay up all night helping me perfect something i care about, or casually hand me a “just in case” potion before i leave the house.
our relationship is a mix of chaos and absolute loyalty. we gossip, we plot (mostly harmless things… usually), and she fully supports every version of me in every universe. plus, she calls me her greatest creation and i love that.
ANTHONY STARK — in my spy dr, he’s not tony stark, he public genius everyone knows. he’s doctor anthony stark, a top operative for the tenebris organization, and the man who took me in when I had no memories and nowhere to go.
he found me when i was absolutely lost, no past, no name, no idea who i was, and instead of turning me into just another asset, he gave me something solid to stand on. well… his version of solid, which still includes sarcasm, chaos, and a concerning lack of rules.
personality-wise, he’s fast-talking, annoyingly charming, way too smart for his own good, and constantly making jokes at the worst possible moments. he calls it “coping,” i call it “insufferable.” but he’s also the one who trained me, challenged me, and refused to let me settle for being anything less than exceptional.
our relationship is built on banter, trust, and a very unspoken understanding that we’d burn the world down for each other if it came to it. he acts like i’m a project sometimes—always analyzing, always pushing—but there’s a line he never crosses. i will never be a mission to him.
HELIO & DEVON FLORAVILLE — in my fairy princess/academy dr, they’re my dad and older brother, and somehow we manage to be both regal and completely chaotic behind closed doors.
my dad, king helio, has that warm, steady presence, the kind that makes everyone feel safe the second he walks into a room. he’s patient, protective, and quietly funny, always dropping the most unexpected jokes at the most serious moments just to see me smile. he treats me like i hung the stars myself, but never lets me forget my responsibilities either. he’s the one i go to when everything feels too big, because somehow he always makes it manageable again.
devon, on the other hand, is peak older brother energy. confident, a little reckless, and very aware of it. he acts like he’s above all the royal rules, but somehow still ends up being the one everyone relies on when things go wrong. with me, he’s equal parts teasing and protective, constantly challenging me, sparring with me (sometimes literally), and acting like i need to “toughen up,” but also ready to throw hands the second anyone else even looks at me wrong.
we have this dynamic where it’s a lot of banter, a lot of late-night talks in hidden castle corners, and a shared understanding that no matter what roles we have to play for the kingdom, with each other, we’re just… us.
RUBENS BARRICHELLO — in this different f1 dr, he’s my dad, and i basically grew up in the paddock, suitcase always half-packed and a headset way too big for my head. my childhood was race weekends, long flights, and falling asleep to the sound of engines in the background, and i wouldn’t change a single second of it.
my dad is the kind of person who makes everywhere feel like home. he’s warm, funny, and endlessly supportive, always reminding me to enjoy the racing, not just chase results. he’s the one who taught me that being a driver isn’t just about speed, but about heart, resilience, and loving the sport even on the hardest days. plus, he’s my biggest fan and my most honest critic, which means i’m getting a hug after a bad race… and then a full debrief right after.
growing up around him meant i was always around the grid too—learning, watching, dreaming—and eventually turning that dream into reality myself. there’s something really special about following in his footsteps while also carving out my own path.
honorable mention to my dindo (godfather), michael schumacher, who’s been part of my life for as long as i can remember. he’s a little more reserved, but in that steady, reassuring way that makes you feel like you’re in good hands. between him and my dad, i was basically raised by two racing legends which was the coolest thing ever.
one of my favorite "side effects" of discovering shifting is that i try to listen to more artists so i can include more songs on my discography for singer dr(s) and that made my find so many good artists and songs??
today's recommendation is film noir by faouzia!! incredibly well produced and her voice is unbelievable.
question!! do we like discography posts ?? i think i made the best album ever for a dr (currenly is my solo debut on my seventeen dr but genuinely i might use in other drs too) and i need to share it asap!!
no kidding, back when i was a lot younger, maybe 10-11, i would manifest shifting. i was so obsessed with winx club (no shit, it's still one of my drs now), that every night before falling asleep i would repeat "i am a fairy" three times.
i guess maybe that's why when i found out about shifting and the community, it all sort of clicked. like, yes, of course, other people have done this before, and they have succeeded! that's why i immediately believed it, i guess.
had another dream that felt so structured that i woke up trying to search for the movie/book. it genuinely had everything — plot twists, romance subplot, found family, magic systems...
sadly, i don't remember as much of it as i wanted. all i remember is that we were all vampires, and i was taken by this family/clan because they recognized me as the lost daughter of another member who went missing a long time ago. they were super kind, especially because i didn't even know that i was a vampire, so they helped me to settle into this new life (it was clear i had lost many memories because i had already met them before but didn't remember)
for the romance, there was this boy who was also part of the clan, and he was super super super kind and charming and just the perfect boyfriend?? he was super patient with me, answered all my questions, and just genuinely a sweetheart. i don't even remember his name but now i miss him like crazy :((
this dream even had flashbacks!! when i started to recover my memories, i remembered a moment when we were both kids (like, seven). our parents were friends, and he was trying to give me sweets because he knew i liked them, but i was shy :((
for the rest of the plot, there was this other clan who wanted to kidnap me because apparently i was the only one who could read this ancient book and stuff. obviously, then, there were a few chase scenes, investigating what this book was about...
i remember that they managed to control me for a few seconds and i ended up hurting one of the young girls in the clan (there were these triplets who were absolute sweethearts, they were about 5). when i realized that they could make me hurt others, i decided to sacrifice myself so no one else would be hurt, but they made a rescue mission to get me back (and i got an earful from my s/o with a side of him saying that he didn't care if i put the rest of the clan at risk, he cared about >me< aaaaaaa).
i woke up when we were invading the other clan's mansion to find out more about the book.
i don't know if anyone out there started having super plot-heavy dreams right before shifting, but i'm taking this as a sign 🤞🏼
when you have the most romantic dream of your life so now i have to create a dr to properly live it.
it was like cirque di soleil, but fully on ice, like figure skating, but we also sang live, mostly songs from musicals. everyone was super close, so there was this found family aspect that i immediately loved... and there was this guy, we did most of the duets together, and i obviously loved him sososo much.
we were doing the the great showman section of the show, and it was an ensemble heavy moment because we did this is me + come alive, then suddenly, rewrite the stars start playing. it's a song we've rehearsed before but never performed live, but there's something in his eyes that tell me it's not a mistake from our tech team, so we perform, and it's really like we're singing it to each other.
when the last line comes, "we're bound to break and my hands are tied." i really sing it then run way from the stage, because i was really overwhelmed. he takes it as an answer. then suddenly, i come skating back to him and crash my lips against his and oh my god i can't stop thinking about it.
everything from this dream is something i have in one dr or another, but now i need to have one just like this. brb need to script asap!!!
MADELAINE ELOISE STORM might not be as fantastic as her siblings, but she shines in her own area. she is a professional hockey player who currently plays as a forward for the san jose shark. a harvard graduate and former captain of the harvard honey-badgers, she might be the most athletic out of her siblings, but she still has the brains! she graduated in both astrophysics and computer engineering, and even worked at nasa before being drafted in the 25/26 season draft. as a rookie player, she tops the list of most points and most goals by a rookie player, and her overall stats are close to matching the ones from the rookie time of icons such as wayne gretzky and sidney crosby.
brazilian by birth and heart, her greatest career achievement was leading the brazilian hockey team through the winter olympics preliminaries —marking the first time in history that brazil qualified for olympic hockey —and going on to secure a miraculous bronze medal.
don’t get her wrong—MADDIE didn’t go to space with her family, and she definitely wasn’t part of the fantastic four. but when an explosion caused by one of reed’s experiments shook the baxter building, she was there—and the energy changed her forever. gifted with the ability to control crystals, she became PRISM, and when she’s not on the ice, she can be found patrolling cities across the country.
━━━━⠀wait... i think i've seen her before ?!? oh! you must be thinking of my twins: elle woods, from legally blonde, stella, from winx club and mulan, from mulan.
━━━━⠀oh my what a marvelous tune !!! that would be my playlist! most played tracks include history maker, by dean fujioka, think later, by tate mcrae, hard times, by paramore, all the stars by kendrick lamar & sza and actually romantic by taylor swift!
━━━━⠀a social butterfly ... oh yeah, i have a lot of friends! i consider my close friends the thunderbolts, a.k.a, her superhero team, composed of illyana rasputin, kate bishop, yelena belova, wally west & peter parker. they're quite the unusual line-up, but what found family isn't? in the hockey world, i'm close to my sharks teammates, especially dax soto and patrick turner and my captain, claude frank.

ALICE DIANA HOWLETT is a formula one driver, currently racing for the westwood porsche formula one team, alongside veteran driver kevin magnussem. the brazilian driver made her debut in the 2025 season and became the third driver in history to finish on the podium of her debut race, as well as the fastest driver in formula one history to get their first win (saudi arabian grand prix). her debut season also includes acholades such as most points for a rookie driver, most wins for a rookie driver, the first rookie driver to win their debut home race and, most importantly, the first rookie driver to become world champion.
known mostly as ALLIE by close friends and family, she was born in brazil but life circumstances brought her to westchester, new york, where she became part of something bigger - and gained friends and family that always gets her back. the public doesn't need to know that the circumstances were her mutant abilities and that the private school she grew up in was actually the xavier's institute for gifted youngsters. while she isn't on the race tracks, she is either travelling with her friends, family (consisted of her adoptive father, james logan howlett and her adopted brother, akihiro) or boyfriend (jason todd), or, well, saving the world as the mutant superhero jinx.
━━━━⠀wait... i think i've seen her before ?!? oh! you must be thinking of her twins: corinne, from barbie and the three musketeers, stella, from winx club and jasmine, from aladdin.
━━━━⠀oh my what a marvelous tune !!! that would be her playlist! most played tracks include maneater, by nelly furtado, the man, by taylor swift, speed drive, by charli xcx, hard out here by raye and golden by huntrix!
━━━━⠀a social butterfly ... oh yeah, she has a lot of friends! she considers her close friends the thunderbolts, a.k.a, her superhero team, composed of illyana rasputin, kate bishop, yelena belova, wally west & peter parker. they're quite the unusual line-up, but what found family isn't? in the formula one world, allie has more animosities than friends... but she is close to fellow brazilian gabriel bortoleto, besides oliver bearman, kimi antonelli, franco colapinto, lewis hamilton, nico hulkenberg, kevin magnussem and oscar piastri.
━━━━⠀i am speed ::: yep, you heard that right. alice howlett races with lightning mcqueen's number, #95. but it's not just because of that! she was also adopted on the ninth of may (9/5), when she was fourteen (9+5=14). there were too many coincidences to pass that chance up!
started rewatching criminal minds from the beginning and now i want a criminal minds dr but without so much trauma.... like i don't want to see photos of decapitated people you know 😭 might tweak around this idea. anyone with a cm dr or something similar can shed some light and give me some advice?
might fuck around and create a dr where all my fics are crazy popular and pretty much considered "almost canon". like yes you will all suffer for a character i created when i was fifteen.
nina amayara. daughter of yzma. first year student in the university of ever after. leader of the storybook eight unit. twin of raven queen (ever after high), kate bishop (marvel comics) & elphaba thropp (wicked).
one of the most interesting things about my hockey drs is that i have yet to shift there, and yet... i know i suck at face-offs. it's not like, oh i'd never be able to win a face-off because in this reality— no. like, in those realities i run from face-offs like the devil runs from the cross. please put me in a power play unit, in a penalty kill unit, put me in overtime but don't tell me to take a face-off. definitely need to get better at those.
i just think it's a cool thing that makes me feel even more connected to my dr and not put it in a pedestal where everything is perfect and i'm some sort of hockey goddess. we focus a lot on the things we can do in our drs, and of course that's the coolest thing ever, but i think is interesting how even without scripting that i know there are things i need to get better at.
