person who takes the majority of hits for their team, not because they're necessarily more durable than the rest of them, but because they think they deserve it more

Re-reading the part in the book where Gavin / Navarog tries to dissuade Kenda from going up the vaults at lost mesa is kinda ominous in hindsite.

A bit earlier in the story, Vanessa says this when she got let out of the quiet box the first time - “Let me guess. Kendra is no longer here, and some disaster is transpiring at Fablehaven.” . The shadow plague is the Sphinx's way of getting rid of Fablehaven, and the mission is how he plans to get control of Kendra.

Gavin's concern for Kendra also serves this purpose, to keep her safe from harm. However, do you think that the others would have come back from the vaults Kendra didn't come along? Like the Sphinx wanted Lost Mesa to fall after they got the artifact, why not have all the team (including Warren who was preventing the Sphinx from isolating Kendra) tragically pass in a "dragon attack" after taking the item, Gavin breaks Charlie out of the vaults to overthrow the preserve and "rescues" Kendra. But by the time she gets back Fablehaven has tragically fallen, Warren is gone, it's obviously not safe for her to go back to her parents because the evening star is out to get her. She has no one except the Sphinx and Gavin and would probably be reeling from the complete destruction of her life.

The evidence is gone, the neighbourhood has been burnt down, The Sphinx had gotten what he wanted, and the group of people who suspected he was a traitor are out of the picture. It's a pretty neat end to a messy situation isn't it?

I have seen posts on Palestine get thousands on thousands of notes. If each person who engaged with them donated one dollar—literally just one; no more, no less—thousands of dollars would be raised to humanitarian aid in Gaza just like that. I understand there’s the whole bystander effect going on. People are probably like “Well there’s likely someone out there donating right now, so they can probably do without my one puny dollar” wrong. One dollar makes a huge difference. Any amount you can afford can make a huge difference.

I’m not going to say every single person on here can afford to give up a dollar, because that’s absolutely insensitive to people’s individual situations—but if you can, please donate. So many of us on here aren’t swimming in money, but we still make it a point to donate, regardless of how little or how big a sum it is. I promise it adds up.

The PCRF could use every last penny. Don’t be a bystander in a world of bystanders. It matters.

Kendra is a girls girl. She tried to protect her girlfriend Alyssa from dating a disgusting monster and I think thats just a canon event that happens to every teenaged girl

Fablehaven is a work of art. It’s the worst thing I have ever read. The character development is some of the best ever written. The character development is absolute garbage. The magic system is so cool. The magic system is a trainwreck. The plot is so good. Theres so many plotholes. Why does he write romance Like That. Oh he's mormon ok. The villains are amazing. The villains are so badly written. It has good representation. Its super fucking weird about its minority characters. It has actually well written female characters. What the fuck is Kendra's inner monologue. I love it. I hate it. I can fix it. Its unfixable. It fights against the trope of light being good and dark being bad. Wait nevermind actually yeah no it does not. I love the characterization. They would not fucking say that. Oh my god why are they naked.
