The votes are in and people chose to turn to Page 28 for "Alice's Wonderland Adventure." Anyway, we look for the White Rabit's gloves, go in the closet and then get trapped.
Anyway, we get out, find Alice nowhere to be seen and go looking for her.
We search for Alice and find her with the Queen of Hearts.
And then our character wakes up and it is all over.
The votes are in for "Alice's Wonderland Adventure" and people chose to turn to Page 14. Anyway, we follow the White Rabbit and find ourselves recruited to get the Rabbit's gloves.
Anyway, we go in to find the gloves, during which our character finds a cookie jar with Alice thinking the search is impossible.
And then we get the idea to maybe have some cookies since we are hungry, but we, meaning the readers not our character, knows what will happen, so this all depends on what everyone wants to happen next.
Which path shall be taken?

This would be from the Edison Marshall novel "Earth Giant" published in 1960, a Euhemeristic retelling of the Heracles myth told from his perspective.
Hippolyta is portrayed as the Queen of Cimmeria and is sometimes called "Queen of the Ambozad" because her citadel is on the river of the same name. The society she rules is not all women, the roles are basically just reversed with the men cooking, cleaning, weaving, priding themselves on beautiful needlework while the women till the fields, butcher meat, attend flocks and herds, fell trees and saw wood and build houses and byres.
Hippolyta's people are portrayed as a mixture of Celt and "Tartar", the latter being what we of the modern day call the ethnic groups that are Manchus, Mongols and Turks.
This is overall very appealing to me because it is not the run-of-the-mill "all-female warrior society" and it is not the stereotypical "being from Greek mythology means they must look Greek" thing.
The votes are in and due to a tie, I had to resort to a coin toss, thus, we turn to Page 6 for "Alice's Wonderland Adventure." Anyway, he go all the way down until we meet the doorknob.
Then we go out into a garden, find Alice and the White Rabbit runs by.

Ended up re-reading one of the original MOTU comics and I completely forgot about Skeletor wanting Teela for his bride. Good lord, imagine something similar with their ThunderCats counterparts. Mumm-Ra wanting Cheetara for his bride... That's... Nightmarish.
Thus, we start "Alice's Wonderland Adventure."
Again, we have our own character, a girl Alice's age.
Anyway, we follow Alice and go down the rabbit hole as well.

The votes are in and people chose to turn to Page 20 for "Dumbo's Circus."
So we go into the tunnel.
We get chased out by a train and end up trapped in a storm. Well, that's it, that's the end.
Read this in an old magazine called "Cavalcade" while trying to find the article "I Walked With a Zombie" by Inez Wallace. Here are some things I'd thought I'd highlight.
Flocked to Athens? What? Did James Holledge only know Helen was the queen of Sparta and presume she had been born elsewhere? He portrays Menelaus as King of Sparta already, so I presume that is the case, but that is very much not the case originally: Helen was Spartan born and Menelaus Mycenean born, he was King of Sparta by marriage.
To his credit, Holledge does not villainize Menelaus... He just goes ahead and villainizes Helen instead.
Holledge romanticizes Paris like so many do and he describes Menelaus' absence as him going on campaign in Crete. What? No! He went to his uncle's funeral in Crete! Unless there was a civil war going on with his cousin having to defend his throne from a usurper following the funeral that I never heard about, I don't think that is correct.
Agamemnon is mentioned, but besides being identified as Menelaus' brother, there is no reason stated for why he is the leader of the Achaean army. Holledge doesn't mention the fact that as basically the high king, Agamemnon was essentially the supreme leader or the number of ships that he brought. He doesn't even specify that Agamemnon is the elder, so for all we know he could be Menelaus' younger brother in this.
Yeah, sure. That is exactly it, it's not like Helen could have been forced into the marriage against her will or anything.
I will admit I like this bit so the sons are of a rival of Helen. That is a good way to reimagine the son of a slave thing and gives the mother more agency. I don't know, maybe. I personally prefer the version where Nicostratus is Helen's son, but for some reason Holledge does not mention any of Helen's children.
The votes are in and people chose to turn to Page 7 for "Dumbo's Circus." Why am I not surprised this would happen?
Anyway, Disney wouldn't allow our character to die, so Dumbo saves us.
Thus, Dumbo takes us for a ride and we reach our next crossroads.

Third time watching this episode and I could have sworn they had been on the giant birthday cake. Apparently not.
Honestly, I'd want to kill Lance too.
The votes are in and people chose to turn to Page 4 for "Dumbo's Circus." So, our character ends up being stupid and ends up in trouble.
Whatever will we do?

Damn, now I'm just thinking of writing a story inspired by Voltron, but with the five robots that make up the main mecha being based off of one of the five Panthera species. A tiger, a lion, a leopard, a jaguar, a snow leopard. Certainly an idea.
Been a hot minute since I talked about this sort of thing, but if I were to do my own version of ThunderCats, then Monkian/Addicus would so be re-imagined as a chimpanzee. Chimpanzees are pretty terrifying.
Also, unrelated, but I'm wondering what would it be like to have different squads of ThunderCats? Some time ago I created a document of my own ThunderCats team with it consisting of a white lioness, a golden tigress, a king cheetah, a white panther, a snow leopard, a bobcat, a clouded leopard, a caracal and a serval with the snow leopard being the counterpart to Bengali, the bobcat the counterpart to Pumyra, the clouded leopard the counterpart to Lynx-O and the caracal and serval counterpart to the Wily twins.
Do I really need to say who the other four are counterparts to?
My whole idea was that there would just be this other team having their own adventures independent of Lion-O and company and now I'm just wondering what if there are various squads/teams/whatever of ThunderCats? What if Grune were just to be leading his own group, all of them being based on prehistoric species and all of them morally grey individuals, the anti-hero team if you will.
Oh, yeah and since I read the sales pitch of the original show for the first time in a while, I now have placeholder names for the caracal and the serval "Carac-L" and "Serv-L." Again, placeholders names. If I can't think of better names, they will stay. Carac-L is the male member of the duo, Serv-L is the female member of the duo.
Still on my rewatch of "Legendary Defender", started Season 2 and I think I liked Hunk's hammer and Pidge's ninja stars from "Voltron Force" more than what they got here, I've imagined Allura going through a phase where she was changing her skin colour every day, had a weird mental image of Zarkon giving Keith a zoology lecture and I've forgotten how cute the space caterpillars Pidge meets are.
EDIT: New mental image: Shiro giving PSAs when he sleepwalks.
I was just thinking about how Lotor is typically Keith's archenemy, right down to "The Third Dimension" having Keith's worst fear being Allura marrying Lotor, that then got me to thinking to how in the same series Zarkon himself is the worst fear of Lance because in that series Zarkon had Lance's planet bombed resulting in the destruction of Lance's village and the death of his family, all while Lance was a kid BTW, so I guess once could take inspiration from that and have Zarkon serve as Lance's archenemy, then I started wondering who could Haggar serve as the archenemy of?
Then it hit me that Coran as basically Space Merlin would be amazing.
Started rewatching "Legendary Defender", on the first episode, and I love that sloth-like alien who gives Pidge and Shiro a canoe ride. I think I might add something like that to my own space opera.
