#I've watched/read too many detective stuff to not try that at least once

[herearedragons]

making an outline for the murder mystery au and I'm already getting way into it

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

Heeeey~ I've read a lot of your head canons and they're all so good! 😘

Can I request some Baji as an older/younger brother(you choose) head canons? Thanks allot!! ♥️♥️

(You can ignore this btw)

Ok so I went with a few as him being the younger and a few of him as being the older!

Older brother Baji

Teaches his younger sibling so many questionable lessons, of course there's the standard stuff like cooking but he also gives lessons on things like how to best hit someone with a bat. 

Pretends to get annoyed by his younger sibling following him around a lot but he actually doesn't mind.

Has to shhh them a lot while he's watching his detective shows

Teaches them to be good with cats too and tasks them with feeding the cats while he's out. 

He goes crazy if he thinks anyone has dared hurt his younger sibling, will hunt down any bullies.

Chifuyu is determined to make Baji's little sibling like him and will attempt to get to know them.

Takes them to the arcades often

Let's his younger sibling play with his hair if they want (they have to be careful with it though)

Tries to convince them to try hard in school and not upset Ryoko like he did. 

He actually goes and asks Shinichiro for advice on how to be a good big brother sometimes because he looks up to him a lot.

Younger brother Baji

Covers for them with Ryoko a lot, he expects them to do the same for him too.

Will ask for advice but doesn't admit it's for himself, like "so a friend is having trouble with..."

Openly asks for help with schoolwork though because he's desperate.

He actually admires his older sibling a lot and talks a lot about how cool they are to the other toman founders.

Chifuyu is determined to get Baji's older sibling to like him and will do things for them. 

When he was younger he used to try and sneak out with them a lot to follow them.

Even if he's the younger sibling, he's still fighting anyone who dares to make his older sibling upset.

If they're a similar age to Shinichiro then Baji and Mikey definitely either tried to get them to be friends or tried to set them up to date each other at least once.

it's not just kids calling adam/tadashi abusive, i've seen adults say the same thing, even fans of adam, that it's abusive and rapey, i'm not sure how to feel because i disagree but their posts sound very authoritive :/

Meanwhile Utsumi is out there like gushing about these two 24/7 bc they’re her faves and says stuff like “originally Tadashi was supposed to say “Woof” after “You’re gonna be my dog for the rest of their lives”, but it didn’t make to the final cut, I thought about his face expression a lot in that moment, but the only thing I was absolutely sure of is how utterly happy he was about what Adam said.” and explains for absolute morons that what Adam said about framing Tadashi was just a bullshit to test him lmao

I once again do not know why people don’t get that this ships thing is that they’re literally what another needs and despite the fact that they both have their own problems, they’re each other’s way out. Because Adam wants Tadashi to learn to stand up for himself, while Tadashi wants Adam to learn that love should bring happiness, not pain. If you don’t want complicated characters, once again, watch smth with a rating 5+ instead. Complicated and problematic characters are not always villains and some adult relationships are definitely not an abuse, if they’re canonically into power play. 

Also I don’t know how a person who so carelessly throws words like “rapey” can be considered “sounding authoritive”, but I highly recommend to try forming your own point of view, based on facts/observations and your own experience. Also in books for example there's always easier to get characters motives, bc they give you to say the whole picture, so depends on how many you’ve read you can learn to detect it without it “being explained to you” pretty easy. If you don’t have such skill or don’t want to develop it, you can wait for the creator’s commentary, you can usually get it to many animes/mangas these days, they will tell you what they meant by some scenes and about their thought process, while creating it, who, why and where. Of course not every creator has that much love and attention to their characters and story, there are some where the creators also know nothing about their character, besides what was shown, but Utsumi is not one of those, so you can always be ready, that if she picked a fave, she thought everything through from the very beginning.

Also this fandom (and pls normal SK8 fans, do not take offense in this, I mean I’m technically also in this fandom, although not really since I had to create just a bubble and don’t go anywhere else, since it’s that bad) is like 90% absolute the most painfully idiotic ppl I’ve ever seen, who can’t even read between the lines and say the dumbest stuff I’ve ever heard, that is so embarrasssing, that they make you embarrassed about even being part of this, and 50% of them are too young to even get stuff, that wasn’t meant for them to get, so just, for real, I’m just suggesting the same thing I did, for your own health, pick ppl for your tl, whose brains are intact and do not even go “out there”, like, you’re only gonna get mad. I mean, if ppl who aren’t even in the fandom get mad about stuff they write, you’re gonna be mad x2 and sadly you can’t do anything about this amount of stupidity, rarely stuff like this do happen to some fandoms. Yes, you can’t enjoy this one, sadly. I tried, but I just felt, like I’m getting more and more mad, until I just sat down and cleaned everything on my tl and was like “that’s it, I’m not in the sk8 fandom, I’m in my own fandom it’s called “his dog by day, his snake by night” lmao

And yes, it did in fact happen after I found out that the girl behind that “concerning adam” absolutely moronically formulated shit that was part of the zine was 23 years old. I think my eyes popped out like in a cartoon, bc everyone who was involved in this drama, wrote stuff like “can i make fun of them or are they 14″, thinking they’re just well, you know, young, but then were shocked too xD. I just wish this person/ppl just wrote “we excluded Adam bc we’re too dumb to get his character we hate him”, at least I’d respect you for your honesty in this case. But no, you had to dig your own grave and become the new official representative of “SK8 fandom is the dumbest”. Congrats really.

I do not know, if ppl lie about their age or not when it comes to those. If not and they’re really adults who think so, it’s fascinating really. Fascinating how this fandom got all the idiots in once. I mean, being a stupid fandom of teens is one thing, being a stupid fandom in general is just sad.

Am I sad that so little ppl got the actual plot and the message creators tried to send? Yes, absolutely. Not the first time tho it happens, with Utsumi’s faves especially, but also in general these days. It is very sad, I agree, but also, I just really started to feel bad, bc I saw some comments and felt like that meme guy, you know: “what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.” lol

So just find someone who posts the good stuff and doesn’t get involved, listen to VAs, read creator’s interviews and live happily ever after, bc they adore both Adam and Tadaai. They literally told in the last interview what I was telling under my YT vid. This is just also hilarious to me, bc to be honest Tadaai situation wasn’t even that hard to analyse in the first place, even without the creators commentaries. Like we’re not on a Cannes Film Festival here.

And once again you can like or dislike Adam, it’s your choice, ppl have different tastes, but writing the most utterly idiotic things about his character that make no sense whatsoever, considering the canon story, is just plain moronic. Just say that you don’t like him, and pls, don’t embarrass yourself.

[fallenrepublick]

OMG okay, I just made this account so I could follow you, like I've been reading all your stuff from a while now, but always from the browser, not the app because I was honestly too lazy to download it... Lol Anyways, your writing is just PERFECTION. 💖 If you are taking requests I would love to see what if Maul just found out he had a kid with you when he always thought you died over a year ago? And now he suddenly reunites with you to find out not only that you're alive, but had a baby. Thx💖

Oh my god?? Thank you so much?? That’s so nice of you goddamn???

Warnings: It’s sorta angsty! Woah shocker amiright... OH and I KNOW that some of you are gonna be on my ass about this but I’m only gonna say this once. I KNOW THAT FEMALE ZABRAKS DON’T HAVE HORNS. I KNOW, OKAY?? I JUST DON’T CARE. Plus, we. have. never. seen. a. hybrid. zabrak. The genes could get fucked if it’s a hybrid, okay WE DON’T KNOW SO I DON’T WANT TO SEE ANY OF YOU LORE DETECTIVES IN MY INBOX GOING “uH aCTuALLy” BECAUSE I DON’T CARE

You. You. You. That was all Maul ever thought about these days. His failure.

Granted, he had certainly failed in many instances before, but never like this. He had conquered this gods-forsaken planet for you. You. And then what? A nameless, faceless assassin dares to come take you from him? And the worst pain of all was that he wasn’t there. He wasn’t with you and you paid the price for it.

Knowing that one should let go of such a thing was much easier said than done, and though the loss had taken place over a year prior, it had no less devastating consequences on Maul’s psyche. People often said that one doesn’t know how much they have until they’ve lost everything, as if losing everything were some sort of punishment for an ungrateful mindset. Never had he been ungrateful for you. For other things, perhaps. But not you. And still, you were gone regardless.

The halls always felt empty, even when they were full, and the city lights seemed dimmer, even if they shone just as brightly as the day before. He rarely went out, and when he did, he kept to himself as always, finished his work, and went on his way. That was just the way it was. Before, you might have tugged at his arm, leading him through the streets, stopping and peering into windows, the warm light from inside reflecting off of your bright eyes. You might have stopped to listen to the lively melodies that sometimes played in the square or leaned over to look into the rippling fountain that stood in the middle still. Perhaps you would stop in the middle of the walk to close your eyes and feel the breeze on your face, the wind brushing your hair behind you, and a content smile resting on your lips. Not on this day, though.

No. This day, he was alone, as he had been for the past 365 days, and that meant his dark hood was pulled over his head, blocking out any light from touching his features. A shadow.

As he travelled, he ignored the commotion around him, the lives and existences of others completely meaningless to him in all respects, the less time he was forced to be among them the better. Though, he couldn’t help but imagine you there, smiling at him, laughing. He had to close his eyes and force his emotions back down when he felt tears threatening to fall.

But the moment of peace didn’t last. Without warning, he felt a pain in his chest, a tightening and almost stabbing sensation that sent him gasping and almost toppling over. Baring his teeth and holding his hand to his hearts, he stopped in his tracks, attempting to will the pain to cease, or at least identify any cause. Never had he sensed anything like this, but the ache was too prominent and forceful to ignore. He had to know.

Tenderly straightening himself back up, he studied the crowd, scanning faces, watching the tops of buildings. Something familiar. Far in the back. And with that, the pain subsided, at least temporarily.

If only for a moment he saw it, it was enough for him to go barreling through the crowd, pushing through bodies and dodging arms, damning his heavy mechanical legs for not being faster. His target had moved down an alley, behind the distant buildings, and he wondered for a moment if he had hallucinated it, an occurrence that wasn’t particularly rare these days.

But the desperate hope that it wasn’t his imagination drove him to follow still, his struggle across the obstacles acting as a sign from fate perhaps that he should stay away. He had never really paid much mind to fate anyways.

You. He stopped in his tracks, chest heaving from the rush of trying to catch up. You lowered the hood of your cloak, turning your head in his direction, eyes wide and curious. You were wearing the same thing as the last time he saw you, but you carried… something.

He didn’t know what to say to you. What was he supposed to say? All he did was shake his head, muscles tightening in shock, as if he had been thrown into an icy lake. You turned away, looking down, a sadness and form of shame written all over you.

“It can’t be,” he whispered, voice wavering and lip shaking. “You’re-”

“Dead?” you finished for him, contempt hidden under your words, though not necessarily directed towards him. “Yeah, I should be. I guess we can’t all get what we want, can we?”

Maul’s face looked as if he had just been shot. “Want? You think I wanted this?”

“You would’ve looked for me if you didn’t.” Hot tears had begun running down your cheeks. “I was left there, and I had to figure out how to get out on my own. Some bitch has a bounty on my head, and you didn’t think I should’ve at least known about it?”

“I searched for you,” he said, tentatively moving closer to you. You didn’t bother backing up. “Every minute of my life for six months. It was only when I had no choice to return that I stopped. Even now, I have search parties dedicated to finding you. Your presence has not left my mind for even a moment, my Starlight. I swear it.” He had finally reached you, taking hold of your upper arms, rubbing soothing circles into your skin with his thumbs. As his gaze met yours, you felt safe, the paths of his tattoos a pattern you could recreate even with your eyes shut. You hadn’t felt safe in a long time.

His eyes drifted down to the bundle of cloth in your arms, sea green and soft. Though, the majority of it wasn’t cloth at all.

“Eris,” you said, brushing at the sleeping child’s fuzzy hair. Small horns had already begun pricking up from her skull. “Only about four months old now.” You could visibly see him trying to do the math in his head. “...Yes, it’s yours, please relax.”

He nodded a moment, then stopped. “You named her without me.”

Your soft laugh sent waves of warmth through him, a sensation he had almost forgotten existed. His hand brushed against the baby’s cheek, lighter than yours in tone, as was a trait of the Night Sisters, but she had your eyes, and he thanked the gods for it.

“You are coming back?” he asked, his concern about how many of your feelings for him remained taking over. “You’ve no obligation to, but I could never live with myself if I let you go again. As it stands, I have nothing here for me anymore, and I would follow you to the ends of the galaxy if I had to. Staying at your side allows me to strive for all that I have no desire for on my own, if only to relieve any stray dissatisfaction that might torment you otherwise.”

Smiling, you looked up at him, a hand reaching up to hold his face. “I’m coming back. I’ve missed you. More than anything.”

Chapter One

From the backseat of this oh so familiar white sedan I watch as buildings turn into houses, until we stop in front of a small blue house with cream colored accents. On the front porch there was a bench swing, with a girl who looks to be the same age as me sitting reading a book. Susan, my case worker turns to look at me and says, "I have a feeling this will be your last foster home."

After pulling my things from the trunk, Susan and I walk up to the porch to be met by my new foster family. The husband and wife walk out the front door, greeting us with a smile. They seem nice, but they always do. The husband is tall, at least 6'3". He has dark blonde hair and dark blue eyes to match. He sticks out his hand waiting for me to take it in mine. "I'm Luke, welcome Victoria."

Wow, this is the first family to actually get my name right. I take ahold of his hand and shake it with a slight smile as the wife begins to introduce herself. Her name is Rebecca, she is about a foot shorter than Luke and has pitch black hair. She has blue eyes as well, but hers are lighter they look like spring water. Their daughter, Megan, introduces herself quickly before burying herself back into her book. Megan looks so much like her mother, but has her dad's blonde hair. Luke opens the door to the house and we all follow him inside.

The house is beautiful inside, it has an open floor plan between the living room and kitchen. This is definitely the nicest house I have been in, in a long time. I notice pictures of Megan that go all the way back to her as a baby. This house would give any who walks in it a safe, happy feeling. We walk up the stairs to a hallway with four doors. One for Luke and Rebecca's room, one for Megan's room, a bathroom, and my room. There's a door in both Megan and in my room that connects our rooms to the bathroom. Oncr the door opens I'm in awe of my new room , but I don't want to get too settled in. It never lasts long. My room has a matching bedroom set made out of dark mahogany wood. There is a white and black comforter set on the bed with scripture style wording and the Eifle Tower on it, it was beautiful.

"We're not sure what you like, if it's not your style we can change it Victoria," Rebecca says with a sweet smile.

"No, this is great," I reply honestly.

As I'm looking around the room Luke begins to speak, "We'll let you get comfortable while we go downstairs and finish up with Susan."

Susan gives me a hug before they make their way down the stairs. I put my duffle bag on the bed and begin putting my things in the drawers. When I finish there is a light tap on the door, before Megan pushes it open and makes her way to the bed and hoping on it.

"You know, I've never had a foster sibling before. I didn't even know my parents wanted to foster a kid until about to days ago," Megan informs me, which makes me anything but comfortable. "But I think this will be a good thing, I've always wanted a sister," she adds.

"Well out of all the foster families I've stayed with, your family seems the nicest." I tell Megan, she responds with a smile.

"Tomorrow morning my mom is going to bring us to school a little early so we can pick up your schedule and I will show you around school. Don't worry we don't bite." She laughs before going on, motioning for me to sit down on the bed with her. So I do.

Never has any of my foster siblings wanted to know about me and my story, but Megan did. So I began the story about how I ended up in foster care. My parents and I were your typical family, we were happy. My mom was a school teacher and my dad was a firefighter, they were married for three years before they had me. One night at about two in the morning some people broke into our house. My mom ended up emptying out a dresser drawer in their room and hiding me in it before the intruders ended up shooting my parents. A detective ended up hearing me whine and found me in the drawer. My grandparents were too old to take me in and I didn't have any other family, so they had no other choice but to put me in foster care.

Megan wipes her tears away as Rebecca opens the door to the room and says, "Dinner is done, I'm glad to see you guys are getting to know each other."

Megan and I both get off the bed and follow Rebecca downstairs for dinner. Rebecca informs me that dinner will be done typically around six pm every night and that we eat at the dinner table together. While we eat we all make small talk, trying to get to know each other a little bit more. I try to keep it light, opening up to one person was enough for me tonight. I help clear the table once we are all finished, then I excuse myself back to my room.

Picking out my clothes for the morning is pretty easy considering I only have five shirts, three pairs of pants, a pair of shorts, and a pair of two year old Chucks for shoes. I pick out a Aerosmith ripped tee with a white tank top and my dark blues jeans to go with it. Before climbing into bed I grab my copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, that is almost completely falling apart from how many times I have read it. I pull out a faded picture of my parents holding me in the hospital room. It's crazy how you can miss someone you barely knew, but I miss them so much. Sometimes I wonder how things would be different if there were still around, I wonder if I would even be the person I am today if they were here.

The next I get up early enough to take a shower and do my hair. As I'm finishing up Megan knocks on the door, letting me know it's time to go. Megan is wearing a floral dress with a pair of white wedges to go with, her hair was up in a high ponytail. Arianna Grande would be jealous of how high her ponytail is. Rebecca drives us to school before she heads to work herself, before I get out of the car Rebecca gives me a phone.

"All of are numbers are already programmed into it for you. I know how teenagers can't live without these things." Rebecca laughs. "I hope you have a good day."

I thank her as I slip the phone into my back pocket. This was actually my first phone, my foster families prior never trusted me enough to give me one or didn't care. After we get my schedule from the front office, Megan takes it to see if we have any classes together.

"Yay! We have Alegbra 2 and lunch together." Megan exclaims.

Megan does her best showing me around and showing me my locker before the bell for first period goes sounds. Doing my best to follow Megan's instructions, I end up getting to first period a few minutes late. I hate opening the door after everyone has sat down and class has begun because when I walk in everyone looks at me and I was right.

"Looks like there's a new girl," someone says from the back of the classroom.

I introduce myself as the teacher welcomes me, then I make my way to an empty desk I notice by the window. I take out my brand new notebook and begin taking notes until class is over. Once the bell chimes again, I pack up my things and begin to my next class.

"Hey new girl!" I hear the same voice as earlier call out. I turn around and see a blonde boy who's hair may just be as curly as mine coming my way. He has chocolate brown eyes, which are surprisingly breath taking. "Who's class are you heading to now?" He asks.

As I pull my schedule out of my pocket he grabs it from my hand and reads it.

"Excuse me." I say as I try to grab it back but he's too quick.

"Mr. Harvarty, that's right next door to my class. I'll show you the way so you're not late. I'm Ben." He introduces himself, while leading the way.

"I'm Tori." I reply, grabbing my schedule from his hand before he could pull it away again.

Ben does most of the talking as we walk to class, making sure to inform me about all the best teachers and the teacher I should avoid getting on the bad side of. Before we make it to our next class Ben informs me about the football game this Friday and suggests that I should go. Making no promises, I tell him we will see as we approach our next class.

"Alrighty Victoria, this is you." Ben smiles as he points to the next class.

"Thank you, Benjamin." I say and he laughs before we part ways.

The rest of the day goes fairly quickly, when the bell goes off dismissing us from out last class I meet up with Megan by the flag pole before we go to the car. Luke is picking us up from school, which I now know is the normal routine. He asks us about our day, before he tells us about his. Megan tells her dad about the test she just finished and how she hopes she's going to pass.

When we get back to the house we go our separate ways, I assume Megan is going to do her homework like me. I put my school stuff on the desk that is looking out the window to the backyard. It's the perfect spot to get my homework done, unlike most of my foster homes. Typically if I wanted to get my homework done I would have to sneak off to the closest library. The library is the closest thing I can call home, it has given me the most peace over the years.

"Hey Tori," Megan says as knocks on the door.

"Come in," I instruct her, and she does.

"So I heard you made a new friend." Megan laughs as she raises her eyebrows at me. I give her a confused look, I have a feeling I know who she's talking about. "You knooow, Ben!"

"He just showed me to class." I tell her, boys are the last thing on my mind. Plus, I'm never in the same place long enough to even want to give anything a shot. He sure is cute though.

[mishikabanerjee]

A great reading lists for teens, I've not read some of these but many sources say that they are great for teens. The top 15 ones have been listed below:

1. Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling- You'll love all of these, especially Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. Some people do say that this is a childish book series, but I suggest you not to believe them, 90% people love these, those people are the other 10% and that's totally OK! Because every person is different and unique and their choices and likings are different from others. All parts of this series have been made into movies except for the play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

2. The Hunger Games Triology by Suzanne Collins - You'll love this series if you're like, interested in this book stuff. I suggest you to at least read a sample before buying it. If you find it interesting, go for it! Movies have been made on the series too. There are three books in the series - The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay.

3. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - Well, this one is for 12 years above, or maybe 13 years above, but if you think you will find it interesting ... Go for it! It's actually good, I've read a sample. Read the sample before buying. It's quite funny too and emotional... It Has kinda everything. A movie has been made on this book as well.

4. Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Oh my God ! This one is so thrilling and interesting as hell! People who like mysteries and detective stories, MUST read this! Yes, the vocabulary is too tough for 13-14 year old teens, but I was able to understand the stories as I read it with a dictionary near me to look up any words I've never heard. It's actually so awesome that you will be hooked up till you finish the book. A movie has been made on the books.

9. Dork Diaries by Rachel Renée Russell - Well, the Dork Diaries books are for girls only. They are so super awesome! I loved them. The reading level, 10 above or maybe 9 above. There are many books of Dork Diaries, not exactly a series, you can read any one first.

5. Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer- Well, well , well. So this one is a bit scary, it has vampire stuff, so I'd not suggest people below 15 to read it, but if you can take it, then... Ok! Go for it! There are four books, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Good book names and covers, that's like an impactful series, but, its still scary, so I'll read it when I'm 15. Movies have been made on the series as well.

6. Wonder by R. J. Palacio- This one is like so awesome! It's very emotional and has a great grip! I suggest this read for 10 above. Yes, the vocabulary is quite easy, and that's great! It changes our view of seeing everything for good! You will never be able to forget the main character, August, ever in your whole life. The author got the inspiration of writing this book by a little girl standing in front of an ice cream parlour. A part of the story even made me cry! But it was, really a great cry. I love books that make me laugh and cry. The book is so real! A Must read for everyone. A movie has also been made on the book. And yeah, PLEASE don't judge a book by its cover. I was going to make the same mistake but my mother told me to buy Wonder, and now I realise, that we should NEVER judge a book by its cover. I have never read a book like this.

7. Divergent series by Veronica Roth- My absolute favourite is Divergent! The best Sci-fi book I've ever read! There are 3 parts - Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant. So it's like the society is divided into 5 parts or factions based on different qualities. It is based on the futuristic world and the main character Beatrice or Tris Prior is such a great character. Veronica Roth knows how to build good character. Also, for girls, you are sure to fall in love with Four (Yeah, that's a name). Some more about divergent: When a child grows up, he/she has to choose to live their rest of their lives in any one of those societies. And maybe, just maybe, a person who has to/ is allowed to choose more that just one society is known as a divergent. I don't have much knowledge on this book, so if anyone can tell me about the plot, I'll be grateful. Seems like a really interesting plot, so try it once at least or read a sample before buying it. Movies have been made on the series.

8. Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan - I've not read the series, but my friends seriously LOVE it! And I've heard from other people too that it's an awesome series and a MUST read. So... I'm thinking of trying it next. It's about a boy named Percy Jackson who is the son of the Greek God Posiedon (the spelling might be wrong) and a demigod. Seems like a really interesting plot.

10. The Mill On The Floss by George Eliot- What to say about this book. It's so emotional! And the story, so lovely! I loved it. The reading level is 11 years and above. This one is a MUST read. It's a really beautiful classic. This one made me cry as well. A movie has been made on this book as well.

11. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - Oh! Who doesn't know the name of this beautiful classic? This is a book, mainly revolves around family and may be boring for some, wasn't for me, but yeah, some parts were boring. But this sure was a great book. And yeah, don't go by the name, boys can also read this. A movie has also been made on the classic.

12. The Diary Of a Young Girl by Anne Frank- I've not read this book yet, but this book is actually great. People show such appreciation for Anne Frank's struggles during the Nazi occupation. She used to live in Germany. She wrote the diary when she was hiding during the same time. Alas, the diarist died at a very young age of 15. It is a must read for sure! I'm gonna read this after the Percy Jackson Series.

13. The Maze Runner by James Dashner - This book series is amazing. Yup, it has some violence but is a good read. My friends tell me that it is actually interesting. So...maybe I'll try it once. There are 5 books in the series - The Maze Runner, The Scotch Trials, The Death Cure, The Kill Order and The Fever Code. The series have also been turned into movies.

14. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky - I got the name of this book from Google and it says its great for teens. So... I'll read this once for sure. And maybe you should try it too.

15. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - This is known to be a really good classic. Maybe, just maybe, its vocabulary is tough for 12, 13 and 14 year olds, as it is a classic. Jane Austen is considered to be the greatest Author of English after William Shakespeare, so this is another big reason to read classic book.

So that's it. Tell me how many of them you've already read or watched(movies) . When you've tried any of these, give me a review, please! Waiting for replies. And suggest me some great books for teens if you know any.

Below are the covers of some of the books. But still, remember, don't judge a book by its cover.

Bye for now friends. And yeah, 'THE NIGHT WHEN WE WERE KIDNAPPED' will unfortunately have to wait for now. But I'll be sure to post the next part of it as soon as possible. Please like my posts and follow me, but only if you like my work. 😊

[euphoriacrossing]

It took a minute but things are kind of as I had hoped.

I know I made a lot of posts before the game came out talking about how I hoped I would be more social due to it and I would play more with friends and for a few days I was worried it wouldn't make a difference. But now I am sure that it is one of many differences it IS making. I have made friends due to it, and I am happy about that.

Spent hours this morning playing with a friend from a small Animal Crossing discord, and even got @dizzimulation to drop by, though he was reluctant, I think or at least hope he got something out of it. But he didn't get his fruit because he didn't leave through the airport, so he has to come back sometime, and I'm almost glad he has a reason to come back because I want to enjoy this game more with him.

(I didn't get enough pictures because I was busy having fun but hopefully next time I'll get more. Better ones than this at least, lol, but this was the one I looked best in... obviously I am in the pineapple dress.)

And so that makes four different people I've had on my island now this week not including my sister who I play with almost constantly as well. (I feel the game has also made our relationship better.) I want to host a bunch of people at once sometime though, and I also want my sister to play with us so she can be in on all the fun as well but she's SUPER shy so we'll see how things go sometime.

Today I also got to go to my friend from the discord's island too. It was really nice, I think it was cuter than mine, but I still think Euphoria needs a lot of work I plan to put in. But it was cool seeing an island other than mine or my sister's... because i don't have much stuff I've run across to put out and beautify my town in thought my island might have a generic look, but in reality our two islands couldn't have been more different. And hers was really nice, but just so different it's hard to make a comparison. I was a bit jealous, well, not jealous really, because I am really happy for her, but just little things like how lucky she got with her map and how she's already about to get the Able Sisters shop already... but I am happy about that one both for her and me because she said she would let me come over once construction is done. So yeah, it was just nice to get a peek at a friend's island and see how differently things can be done in this game.

Right now I have the game open and it's a beautiful perfectly clear night, and the starry sky is so freakin' beautiful. This game is beautifully made, I truly have never seen a game's graphics that I love this much, because i have always loved the style of Animal Crossing but this game is on a new level for sure.

Anyway, i have the game open watching for shooting stars to try and make good use of my time in game while I write this and I've seen and wished on three, but I think it was the second night or something I saw dozens (but only bothered to wish on about a dozen myself), maybe it was a meteor shower or something, I'm not sure, but I would like to get more star fragments now that I have a couple of wand recipes (star and bamboo) because I like having extra wands to be able to gift them to friends who might not have them because I think they are such a fun little part of the game.

And gifting, that's the main reason I need to get all of my friends over for at least a minute or two. I mentioned how I loved the mailing system (ah just caught two more stars!) but I hate that your friends have to come over to be considered your friends in this game. Can't they just detect who is my nintendo switch friend, or ask for a code or something? I mean I guess it is reasonable enough, I am really glad we can do it at all now, but I want to send presents to all my friends. And while we're on what I dislike, I don't like that you can only send two letters a day to each friend. I want to send them something when it makes me think of them and that might be more often than that! But overall I guess my criticisms are just small ones, it's really a lot of fun to get to send my friends gifts and I am really glad it's not limited to best friends like I initially thought. And so I guess I have quite a few people to send to, and I'm not the best gift giver, I am actually hoping this will help with teaching me how to get what people like and such, so I suppose it's alright. I have just had moments when I saw something and thought of a friend I can't send to yet. Guess I'll just start saving those gifts until I can get that friend over for the first time. I have such cluttered storage though.

Well mostly cluttered with my clothes. My wardrobe is really coming along, in that I could actually make more outfits than what the wand holds (including what I wear underneath) so I have still been changing up my underneath outfit a lot as well as using the wand. I hit up three different Mabels today (mine, my friend's, and my sister's) and bought a good bit of what each one was selling. Plus villagers always give (five more shooting stars!) me clothing, I get it from the recycle box, and tons from balloons as well as ordering it from Nook Shopping when I find a piece I like. I try to only get things I like or think will be useful, and I DO sell clothes that i don't like. But there is a lot of cute stuff in this game, and I only hope it's more than I could ever possibly collect, because when I find a cute new piece of clothing I just melt. Like the blossom dress I think it's called, I'd never seen it before and I think it's super darling. (Four more stars!) The clothes are so special to me because in real life for a number of reasons (weight, money, pain and ability, etc) I can't dress in a way that helps me to express myself at all. My hair is similar because I overheat so easily I have to keep it as short as I can, and I can only style it the way my mom likes or she won't be seen with me and that matters as she is my driver and caretaker. (5 more stars). So to be able to express myself in game and look how I want really feels amazing, especially when that is a lot of what my friends will see of me since we're only online friends.

Anyway, tomorrow is Biff's birthday and I looked at New Leaf's guide of what to get him but I don't have any of the main things, and so I am just going to give him something random from my storage. I hope he will like it enough and that his birthday goes well. I dunno if I should invited my sister or people over or try before I go see him, or if I just go over on my own. Biff though has been a real unlikely buddy for me. Tammy and I have clashed since the beginning, which was kind of a bummer because I expected to like her most. And then there was this jock hippo, love hippos, hate jock personalities, so it could have gone either way. But he was funny, and cute, and endearing instead of coming off like an asshole so we were fast pals. He didn't even get a birthday announcement on the bulliten board from Tom Nook... Beau whose birthday is in April already got one, but Biff was maybe too close to the start of the game? Not sure. But maybe I'll draw him something on the board tomorrow. Or well it's technically today.

This has been long enough though. How many stars is that? I might go ahead and do some other stuff online while I look for more, it's a good way to multitask in my opinion. Because I personally never catch them if I'm not looking at the sky, but to sit for an hour or more just staring isn't a great use of time. So to have it open in the background while taking care of other things, that is the way to go! 😁 But yeah, I'll shut up now. Thanks for reading!
