Charliebabe are that ONE monogamous ship that just cannot be overwhelmed by any ghost ship. I have seen some fics with poly/threesome or even ghost ship for Babe and Charlie yet none hit the same, rather it feels wrong (lol). Canon is canon and everyone is allowed to have their own narrations but NOT for them, only them, their souls are way too entangled within the other to seperate them, they are way too emerged within the other's heart to not make them lovers, they are literally eternal lovers who bended time and fate for the other, where one came back from death (literally) and the other planned for a killing spree to take down the so called god himself (LITERALLY), the ones who choose each other, who paired with the other and stayed for the other, on their decision, and you expect me to not ho insane over them? Impossible.

I’m pretty sure ao3 is down so I’m either going to venture into Wattpad territory or read a coming of age book about exorcisms.

Excerpt from Summer Bloom

Aang was seated next to Toph, and he hadn't said anything yet. Now, with Sokka and Suki falling into a conversation about what to and not to say at breakfast, and Katara and Zuko fixing plates, he leaned over and whispered,

"Last night was scary. Are you ok?" 

"I survived the night," Toph shrugged. She took a mouthful of congee. It was as good as it smelled. Toph was torn between gobbling it all down and eating slowly to savor every bite. If this was how it would be every cycle, Toph thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

"Are you pregnant?" Suddenly, Toph's delicious meal was choking her. She had inhaled a bit of fish and she sputtered and coughed. 

"Toph!" She heard Katara drop something metal- a spoon or ladle probably- and rush to Toph. She hit the younger girl's back a few times until the fish dislodged. Toph spat it into a napkin and rounded on Aang wildly.

"I'm not pregnant, you idiot!" she shouted. And once more, an awkward silence settled on the room.

"Sorry…" Aang almost whispered. "Sokka said-"

"What?" Sokka sputtered. "I said she could get pregnant. Not that she was. Didn't anyone tell you about the otter penguins and the polar bees?"

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian: A Captivating Journey of Identity and Resilience

Shaina Tranquilino

October 26, 2023

Sherman Alexie's novel, "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," is a powerful coming-of-age story that delves into the challenges faced by Native American teenager Arnold Spirit Jr., also known as Junior. Through humour, heartbreak, and introspection, Alexie skillfully explores themes of identity, resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at why this novel has resonated with readers worldwide.

A Glimpse into Reservation Life: "The Absolutely True Diary" offers readers an authentic glimpse into reservation life on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington State. As Junior navigates between his community and the predominantly white school he chooses to attend outside the reservation, we witness firsthand the stark disparities in resources and opportunities. This contrast underscores deeper issues like poverty, alcoholism, racism, and cultural assimilation that many Indigenous peoples face daily.

Humour as a Coping Mechanism: Alexie brilliantly infuses humour throughout the narrative to alleviate some of the weighty topics addressed in the book. Junior uses his wit to cope with difficult situations while providing readers with moments of genuine laughter. These humorous anecdotes serve as reminders that even amidst adversity, it is essential to find joy wherever possible.

The Quest for Identity: One of the central themes explored in "The Absolutely True Diary" is Junior's quest for identity. Struggling with feeling like an outcast both within his tribe and at his new school, he embarks on a journey to find his place in the world. Alexie paints a complex picture of how one's sense of self can be shaped by culture, heritage, family dynamics, personal experiences, and societal expectations.

Friendship as a Lifeline: Throughout his journey, Junior develops profound friendships that provide solace during challenging times. With his best friend, Rowdy, and a new ally in Penelope, Junior finds unwavering support, loyalty, and understanding. These relationships highlight the significance of connection and how it can help individuals overcome adversity.

Resilience and the Power of Education: As Junior leaves behind the reservation to attend a predominantly white school outside his community, he faces numerous obstacles. However, his determination to pursue education becomes a symbol of hope for both himself and those around him. Alexie emphasizes the transformative power of knowledge and the importance of breaking free from societal constraints to achieve one's dreams.

An Authentic Voice: One cannot discuss "The Absolutely True Diary" without acknowledging its semi-autobiographical nature. Drawing from his own experiences growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation, Alexie brings an authentic voice to every page. This personal touch adds depth and rawness to the story while allowing readers to gain insights into Native American culture often overlooked or misrepresented in mainstream media.

Final Thoughts: Sherman Alexie's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" is a profound exploration of identity, resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams against all odds. By blending humour with heart-wrenching moments, Alexie crafts a novel that resonates with readers from different backgrounds worldwide. Through Junior's journey, we are reminded of the importance of cultural pride, empathy, understanding, and perseverance in navigating life's complexities.

Whether you're seeking an emotionally charged coming-of-age story or hoping to gain deeper insight into Native American experiences, "The Absolutely True Diary" is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who embarks on this remarkable literary adventure.
