That feeling when u try to search up your childhood bestie on social media and you feel like an FBI agent chasing a cold case
#NO FR you guys don't understand so my middle school best friend wasn't allowed to have social media or a phone back#so we lost contact after then and i decided to see if i could find her fb account bcus like there's no way she doesn't have one now right?#just genuine curiosity#and I manage to find a fb with her exact first and last name with the right primary school and high and with the right birth month#and a pfp that looks just like her#but heres the thing#the timeline doesn't match up#i looked at her posts and one shes had that account since 2009 (we were in 6th grade in 2013)#and she talks as if she was in middle School back in 2003 she posted about getting her driver's license in 2014#which makes me think idk maybe this isn't her and the name is just a coincidence but alllll the info matches up#like how much of a coincidence is that#anyways it just gave me more questions im giving up on this lol if she ever wants to reach out to me she can find me

Hey this might not be you, but did you ever make a like evil boom!amy comic where she had like a whole ass villan arc?
When I was younger (bout 5/6th grade)and first getting into sonic I remember seeing some of your comics and there was this one comic that was like that and I was super invested but ever since I’ve never been able to find it. I’ve searched so much, “EvilAmy “ is now an autocorrect term on my phone. I remember the art looking like your so idk if you did do something like that maybe it was just a vivid hallucination or imagination I had before. She really did have a reason like she was done with the bullshit and I was just rooting for her lol. There was so much drama lol. Love your works!
Hello there!
You may be referring to my old comic series “Hell Hath No Fury” (also referred to as “HHNF”) which I started YEARS ago but never finished drawing. It was not Boom!Amy though. It’s an older version of the Modern!cast.
If that is the one you’re talking about, I have good news for you (and everybody else). I am going to start that back up soon!
I’ve changed a lot from the original script moving forward but I actually think it’s going to be way better now than it originally was. I have a new passion for that project again and I’ve had a bunch of new ideas for it and have been scribbling down new script notes in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep haha.
Sorry to everyone (and possibly you) for how long you’ve waited for this comic but just like My Gal, I really think it will be worth the wait 🤞🤞🤞
And if that’s not the comic you’re talking about, then I hope one day you find the one you were looking for and that you’ll enjoy HHNF in the meantime 😂

I don't think I've seen this posted on Tumblr before, so I'll go ahead and share it. I took this screenshot while making gifs a minute ago.
From this screenshot, we can glean a few interesting things. Yuri's birthday is June 8th, 2002, Kasumi's is July 1st, 2002, and Kumi's is September 11th, 2002. This makes them a Gemini, a Cancer, and a Virgo respectively. Kumi is the only one without a summer birthday, though with climate change, September may as well be a part of summer in many parts of the world where it wasn't previously.
Also, they all have type AB blood (misspelled as "brood," since Japanese doesn't really have the sound the letter "l" makes in English). In Japan, blood type analysis occupies a similar cultural space as astrology does in the Anglosphere. According to this article from waldenu.edu, those with type AB blood are thought to be "cool, controlled, rational, and adaptable" yet also "critical, indecisive, forgetful, and irresponsible." However, it's obvious that western astrology plays a part here, since many intelligent, rational anime characters have September birthdays that fall within the Virgo window, as Kumi does. I find the way different school system work interesting. If this series was set in the US, Kumi would likely be in 5th grade, not 6th, and would therefore not even be eligible to be in the party.
I'd be interested to analyze the kanji for their surnames to see if anything can be gleaned from that, but some of them just look too grainy to decipher here.
Also, the fact that the girls are referred to here as "mates" gives some...interesting connotations, considering [REDACTED MANGA SPOILERS].
Finally, whatever data Ms. Hisakawa has entered there has been scrambled into wingdings, lol. Maybe there's something to decode there? Idk.

"Even if you cry i won't accept your assignment"
Ive also had something similar to this said to me 💀💀
"Your peers had the same amount of time. How come they completed the assignment but you didn't? Bcs you are irresponsible!"
Cannot count the number of times something in this vein has been said to me...
#lita liveblog#life story in the tags:#so when i was in 8th grade in English class we had this weird foam board stuff#we werent supposed to etch in it but ofc everyone did bcs. idk it was fun#so i wrote something stupid like 'you are a sheep i am a wolf' or something similar idk#i was referencing a song my old writing teacher had gifted me the lyrics to. love her. anyway.#my teacher got REALLY mad about what i wrote for reasons i do not know to this day. i was a naive kid. maybe it could be sexual?? no clue#anyway she pulled me out into the hallway. (btw#had never been pulled out into the hallway before)#and proceeded to yell at me. i cried. as you do. and after saying i was sorry she had the GALL to say 'you should be!'#IDEK WHAT I DID WRONG LOL#even in the moment i was like 'damn you'd think she'd calm down a bit after i burst into tears'#and the next day i thought all my teachers were going to hate me and think i was a bad kid 😁😁#anyway. wtf was she on about am i right guys.#wait nvm it was 6th grade. that makes it even worse that year was horrid

Hm, they sound interesting. I've never heard of them before lol, like when you talked about tablet ice-cream. That of which I actually haven't tried yet cause my mom won't take me to the store :P. Oof, maybe if I can ever come to the UK and we can meet up, then that could be a thing we can do together^^. I enjoyed it a good bit for something live action, and I remember finding a good couple of the guys hot lol. What's your favorite studio ghibli movie? Mines always been spirited away and totoro. Though I liked ponyo a lot too. I've only seen the more popular movies from them, but I wanna watch the other movies too really badly. That actually makes sense lol, I've never heard it said like that, but I understand how the whole power of friendship thing is actually practical in the anime now. Lol thats cute. Who was your favorite character when you watched it? I allways liked bakugou and toga. I love yanderes in different media, and shes just so cute!^^ i used to have space buns like her in 6th grade before i realized they didnt make my roundish face look good. Then i cut my hair pretty short, so i cant do it now lol. Now i go for more of the denki kinda haircut but a little wavy cause thats my hair type. Yeah! Aqua is a water goddess that he uses his last dying wish to bring down to the new magical world with him out of spite lol. Then he meets darkness (masochist yellow girl) and some magical little girl I forgot the name of but her main color is red. I like how his group is basically primary colors and he's green lol. Im actually not that into issekai anime, more so psychological or mystery ones such as tomodachi game and bungou stray dogs. Im embarrased now- im sorry i misunderstood. My little lesbian friend doesnt cuss so i just assumed you were like that too cause i mean idk if ive seen you cuss lol. m glad your day has been alright, apart from that I mean. I understand lol. I get had hearing days a lot cause of how often I have in earbuds and just get hearing fatigue. I swear a ton too lol, though guess that's mostly due to my smoldering southern charm (ゝω・) /j. But my probably most used cuss word is fuck. Or bitch, though I use that more as a word of endearment, like you're my bitch. Though you'd be a guy puppy so I can't really say that :P. Is there a name for guy puppies like there is for girls? Idk any lol. Glad you're excited about more ft content^^ what is it? More chapters to the Manga or a new season to the anime or something? I hate when my asks don't send >:(. How's your day been? I got a school band performance to get ready for tonight. (Maybe the third times a charm)
-Ike<3
Yes !! that sounds good ! ( ^▽^) I haven't watched any of them in a while, so I'm not sure what mine would be !! I think probably Ponyo, I rewatched it so much when I was younger ! I'd like to watch all of them again really ! It can understand why people still wouldn't like it now, despite that, but nobody ever used to mention it so it used to make me feel a little . insane . I found it hard to decide on a set favourite, but, I think they were deku and uraraka !! I also really liked denki and todoroki a lot too !! aaaa the more I think about the less certain I am of who my favourites are . I love love love toga and bakugo too !!!! I don't actually think I've ever had my hair in space buns, now that I'm thinking of it. . . but I bet little you probably looked super cute ! Your current hair style sounds really nice, too ! I play as the my hero characters a lot when I play fortnite though ! I think it's a little funny to see them do all the dances and stuff fjdhkdkf ooo ! That sounds really cool ! I see I see ! Those ones are pretty cool too, I just whatever ones catch my attention to be honest !!! Don't apologise !! I understand ! I didn't mean it in bad way ^–^ That's fair ! I don't really do it all the time on here because I just . haven't but I've been told by people that they associate swearing with me lol ( and spelling things really badly . ) I'm not really sure why I get it, my guess is that it's probably the same as you, then because I wore earphones like all the time until receently. . . but now I just wear over the head-headphones ! A lot of people where I am swear a lot too, I feel like it is pretty rare to find someone that doesn't swear all the time ! I used to know people that did the same !! I don't really mind it, to be honest, so you could if you wanted ! ^–^ and not really, I think ! Maybe mutt ? It can be used for both, but a lot of people use it on boy ones so ? but it's not really used in the same way bitch is used ! Yes !!! So, currently, whats being worked on is Fairy Tail 100 year quest but he said once that's done he's going to continue Fairy Tail so I'm really really excited !!! I need to catch up with the 100 year quest anime as well, though ! Sorry this took so long . I . don't really have the words to explain but ! Have you been well ? Did your performance go alright ?

Introduction i think?
Ok so I’ve been like really excited to do this I don’t know why but this is I think controversy? I don’t know how controversy works but this is how it happened.
I am 12 yrs old, My height is 5,1 and holy shit wanna kms but I am 130 pounds. This will flucate and idk how to spell it but it’s like a line with a dot in the front or end and it goes left to right so I flucate to 130 to 140 I hate that.
How I know about ED/Backstory/rant (cringy ik sorry :c :
I was always a fat kid and I’ve hated it, I understand that I didn’t care about my weight but when I was like what 8 to 9 whenever my dad would say cow to me in taqvaylit I don’t know how to write it but I know something’s like amcic or tizizwith or afkroune which is cat, bee and turtle in that order. I would feel self conscious and sometimes cry to because I’m very sensitive which is like cringy i know lol. My heaviest had to been this year like 140 pounds but I think it was water weight and shit. Anyways my mom tried to get me to fast and she would force me or smth maybe not force but like tried to get me to lose weight. She’d say it directly and it would always make me feel bad but like I understand being 130 for like 8 yrs or 9 to 12 is very heavy and embarrassing considering I always saw kids would be more skinner than me I’d feel very bad. Until recently like last year in 6th grade I was reading fanfics of a human au of TMNT i didnt know what ED’s were so when it showed up the word bulimia I thought it meant bullshit but it didn’t sound right so I searched it up and saw the symptoms that’s when I also learned about anorexia and pica etc. When I saw the symptoms I started copying them now this is the part that I think is controversy I copied the symptoms which I know was bad but I was fucking lazy and still am couldn’t do a workout for the life of me or restrict food, I was used to eating a lot and when I saw the symptoms I copied them and they worked!! I loved it and then the minute I knew how to starve myself, I actually don’t know how to continue with that but I didn’t know how much of a deeper hole I got into but I really loved it and still do EMBARRASING. I did do exercise I did like 100 sit ups a day which did nothing but it did make my body ache and stopped, 5th grade was the worst out of all my grades for now but 6th might be second but it wasn’t that bad just a lot of crying and seeing how fat I am made me cry that’s it. Now if I don’t starve at all or try too I would feel like shit. In 6th grade I also saw that purging was a symptom so I made myself throw up but only if I ate way to fucking much and I’m so bloated it hurts and I can’t take the pressure so I throw up just to take off a little pressure and go back but then I’d feel sick which sucked :C. When Ramandan came though I was A BEAST not an actual beast but like it was my oppertuinity to fast without anyone questioning because I live in a studio apartment with 5 other people that are my family >_<. Obviously with my blabber mouth which I hate told everything to my mom but I think she thinks that I’m ok now :D. Any way I’d only eat 5 tablespoons of soup every night and I was very tired and I lost 6 pounds!! Which isn’t a lot but I made it to 124 pounds!! But then I gained it all back in summer break, cried, tried to fast for 3 days but fainted on the 36 hour?? I’m not sure because when I stopped the fast because my mom told me to eat and spoiler alert I cried cause I have little bitchitas if u know Kubz scouts u know. I paused at the 38 hour so like 36 is my highest to fast which is embarrassing again. ANYWAY NOW IM IN 7TH GRADE STUGGLIJG EITH THIS THINGY :]] I sound like those I guess I deserve it heh thing but like no I’m not seriously I just wanted to be silly. Anyway I’m gonna try that ABC diet which I think seems kind of mid to hard but I think fitnesspal would help me with it <33
BYE EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY OR NIGHT HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING SND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! :33

So my mom is considered legally blind and the other day, she told me her prescription and uh… I thought she’d be like a -10.00. No. She’s much closer to my most recent prescription (from early 2022) than I thought and it kind of terrifies me because I already know I will be legally blind eventually. It just makes a bitch nervous even tho I haven’t been able to see since… well fuck, maybe 5th grade??? I started squinting around then and got glasses in 6th grade after a few ocular migraines from straining to see. I tried just contacts for a while but that was not sustainable bc a bad day putting them in would be fatal lol. Some days, your eyes just do not want contacts. They just ain’t having them. And my eyes are rlly dry and I’d fall asleep in them mfs bc I wanted to see even in bed :’) idk man I just know having extremely impaired vision is scary.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you @acorrespondence, my lovely mutual and writting buddy, for tagging me <3
How many works do you have on ao3?
6, under beezleebub (more under a secret abandoned account)
What's your total ao3 word count?
131,144 for my current account
What fandoms do you write for?
justified, primarily. with one deadwood fic, and a mcu wip in the works.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
"stay with me" is my most kudoed fic <3
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i try to! i never know what to say cus i'm always so blown away that anyone's reading my shit at all.
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i try not to end on a sour note, but i feel like everything i write carries a general blanket of angst through it's narrative
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
probably "stay with me" just cus i was feeling nice that day
Do you get hate on fics?
not these days. i feel like ao3 users have a generally laid back approach to fanfic these days. don't like? exit the tab, easy peasy.
Do you write smut?
no? i have included not overly explicit sex scenes in fics bcus they can be a great tool for emotionally charged moments, good character moments, etc. but nothing crazy.
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
never ever. they're not really my thing.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no lol
Have you ever had a fic translated?
nah
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no, i'm a control freak
What's your all-time favorite ship?
charles xavier/erik lehnsherr. easy. full stop. don't even have to think about it. there's something about them. something about the 60s/70s. something about two sides of the same coin. something about wanting the same thing but having morally conflicting approaches. i think about magneto every single day of my life since i was 11 years old. next question.
What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
"keep it near" had such a choke hold on me. it was born of an offhanded discussion in the justified discord so long ago and a love of southern gothics and detective stories. i still love it sm but idk if i'll ever have the steam to revisit it. maybe when i rewatched true detective s1 it'll just pour outta me tho, who knows.
What are your writing strengths?
dialogue. i think i'm pretty good at back and forths between two characters that are saying something other than what they mean. i enjoy writing dialogue that is more revealing in what isn't being said. p.g. wodehouse also taught me a lot about tone in dialogue and witty back and forths that i really enjoy and think i have a pretty good grasp on writing those sorts of exchanges.
i also like to think i'm pretty good at carrying a tone through a story. giving something a general vibe. usually a haunted angsty vibe but still, it's an energy.
What are your writing weaknesses?
probably so many things. i don't like most of my fics that are up currently (with the exception of "keep it near" and probably "stay with me"), but we're all our worst critics. I feel that i struggle with writing action, motion, etc. i never want a scene that lacks dialogue to come across as "and then," "and then," etc, you know what i mean?
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
iffy. i feel like it can come across as jarring to a reader if they have no idea what they're even looking at. i've included snippets of russian in a wip, which i have been studying for quite a while, but i still fear it might come across as clunky.
First fandom you wrote for?
uhhh... probably batman? or marvel? unless we're counting the self insert assassin's creed fanfic i wrote in 6th grade before i knew what fanfic was.
Favorite fic you've written?
oh probably "keep it near" but by far my unpublished fic i'm working on currently.
don't know who's been tagged yet, but @praycambrian @raylangivins @norgbelulah @eff41 and anyone else who hasn't been tagged yet <3

Honestly being taught media literacy just depends on the teacher you have. I had a teacher in the 6th grade who loved to get us talking about stuff and thinking about it. She would have us think critically about all the characters and their motivations, and wether we thought one of them was wrong and why. Next grade I had an english teacher who didn't give a shit and just had us read something and never speak a word about it, it was just something you had to do to pass the class
Oh I know, I’m sure a good teacher could really get the ball rolling there. The thing is almost all my English teachers across 3 schools had the same habit of caring more about proving the validity and beauty of their own interpretations, which I get! But like!!! It was really annoying!! Some were better at it than others, letting kids talk more & stuff. But the worst of them made class a slog.
The main one who didn’t do the forced interpretation thing so much was this really sweet old lady who was very nice and got us snacks but also we spent a lot of time watching movies lol.
But in her class I basically figured out that I was against the death penalty cuz of independent research time I did for a paper, and that’s how I figured out that I didn’t trust the government and the death penalty doesn’t really help victims and all that stuff.
But that’s the exception to my experiences with English teachers (had like, at least 6 of them? Maybe more? And 2 of them were actually kinda helpful to my memory, but one of those classes was a poetry class that was elective so idk)
Also that might’ve been cuz she didn’t really care what we did as long as we we’re participating? So I had time to look into a subject I’d already been studying/thinking about (the death penalty)
It’s also possible that her not caring let me get more comfortable in her class faster than other classes- which could have really affected my performance because I was basically a feral child before I was thrown into high school and that is only kind of an exaggeration. (I didn’t speak to anyone outside my immediate family for years before high school. it was not a pretty sight)
So like, at the end of the day maybe the teacher who had us watch 3 different versions of Romeo and Juliet in class was the best one????
No but fr, generally I do agree it depends on teacher, but I disagree with the idea that the format of English class itself teaches you those things in meaningful ways. Idk how syllabus are decided on but I don’t really think the assignments are super great at things like teaching you to spot misinformation & stuff.

face reveal!
Maybe nobody cares what I look like, or maybe everybody has been dying of curiosity. idk. Either way, I'm dramatic and don't want to pass on this chance lmao
As I said before, I’ve disabled reblogs on this post for my own comfort but you can def comment, ask questions, etc. Just please don’t be weird/rude as I won’t hesitate to block! Also if you happen to know me in person randomly please reach out bc that would be so cool lol

dude (gender neutral) you're gonna make me wanna read the alex rider books if you keep that posting up
I read the first one in like... i guess it must've been 5th or 6th grade, and i think i liked it but i'm not sure if i really processed that it was a series or if i just never got around to reading the rest of it or what, but i only ever read the first book (also i read it translated and it's been too long and i was a kid back then so i have no idea whether the translation was of any kind of reasonable quality, and in any case only the first seven novels of the series have been translated at all)
but given that what little i've seen of Horowitz's work (like a few episodes of the third season of Robin of Sherwood - which i'm otherwise kind of obsessed with anyway, lol) i have mostly liked, i feel like maybe this is my sign that i should give the books another try? idk man i'm just rambling
omg anon, sorry for giving you a small crisis lol, but your rambling is more than welcome!
admittedly, it's been a long time since i've read the books too (probably also around 5th/6th grade), so the details are a little fuzzy, but i know i read the first 10 books (which i think were all that was out the last time i checked in), and i've recently gone back to read some fanfics for it, so it can't have been that bad haha
it is very Early 2000s, and was technically written for a younger audience, but if you like the reluctant sarcastic protagonist, you'd probably like the series!
also ! if you do end up giving them a shot, you should let me know! i'd be so down to do a reread with you, we could make a little book club out of it! or you can even just yell in my dms as you're going through, whatever works for you !
#me being violently reminded that my actions have consequences and that people do in fact see the random shit i reblog on here#blanket apology to anyone that still puts up with me lmao#i hope i am not just a blog to you#but a curator of niche bullshit you would never otherwise think twice about <3#ask answered#anon answered#alex rider

not to diss the woman who was the reading aid for the elementary schoolers (idk what her official job was who are the people who help the struggling students lol?) who did the remedial reading classes for me but she was super nice and all but istg i don't associate her with my reading skills suddenly shooting me to the tops of my classes in middle school. like i kinda give myself the credit for learning to love reading. my mom always says she made a huge difference in my reading skills, which maybe she did i can't remember i was like 8 or 9 when i was in her classes, but tho like even i got "better" at reading from a pen and paper perspective, i still hated reading lol. nothing she did really made me a better reader in my opinion, but sure i could test a bit better and idk. answer and pose better questions about a text we read, but i hate that the adults around me barely did anything to address the root problem: i thought reading was boring. no one ever tried to help me figure out what i really liked to read, i did that all by myself and devoured book after book all summer before 6th grade and "suddenly" was a good reader. and everyone was like wow those remedial classes helped so much :) like no they didn't!! i did that :/
#something something adults ignoring kids need guidance to figure out those kind of things#if i already thought reading was boring why would i willingly try and figure out what books were actually good#librarians are so not utilized well enough in schools#but whateverrrr#the reading aid was great tho she was my friends mom very nice woman

Bro do you know what would be so silly goofy? If I made characters from literature that I really like(Frankenstein & The Catcher in the Rye mainly) in Sims 4. God that would be funny...so silly goofy!! Maybe Romeo and Juliet but tbh I read that in like freshmen year and I did really like it but I don't remember most of like the details of it. Same goes with the Outsiders, God that was good but I don't remember most of what happens.
Hmmm...ig Farenheit 451 maybe but like I gotta let you in on a lil secret.
I don't really like it. Yes I know it's an important story about society and censorship over information and such. Cliche plot is a bit cliche but whatever, the plot is fine. But the characters bro? The characters??
🤢
None of them are *horrible* but omg it might just be because dystopian fiction has grown a lot since the book's release but everyone is soooo boring. Like Montag is quite literally just your every man who learns about the evil of society. His wife is just the person to show what society's effect on people are. Beatty is a little interesting since he's a hypocrite but...still idk. Clarisse is just the one who makes Montag question his society. Yknow what I mean? The characters feel more like archetypes or plot devices then fully developed characters.
I realize now that might be the point since everybody is supposed to be the same, if so, nice. I still don't like it but I can mayhaps see the purpose of it.
I think I like narratives where yes there is a plot but the characters are...characters with thoughts and emotions and you see how the plot effects them heavily. Goodness especially with Frankenstein, you *see* how much distress Victor is in after he creates his creature. In The Catcher in the Rye, I won't give spoilers, but you *see* his distress *a lot* as the plot happens. That's what interesting to me and that's what I feel was lacking in Farenheit 451 to make it personally interesting to me.
Not to say it was horrible, so 6.5/10 or so. It's far from the worst book I've ever read.
Now, I don't really know if it's the worst book I've read, but the worst reading expierence I had with a book was The Hobbit. I think this was only because I had no idea what was going on and because I was in 6th grade when I read it so yknow. Whose to say? I might enjoy it if I actually paid attention lol bc Frankenstein was kinda hard as shit to understand at points but damn the story was on top, so maybe the same is true for The Hobbit.
Uh...let's see what other options? Of Mice and Men & To Kill a Mockingbird, I liked both of them but not an extradonory amount. But Curly's wife is so sad :( and when we watched the film.movie everyone was waiting in anticipation with *the* scene w/Lenny and her, if yk yk.
HmmMm...I really like The Most Dangerous Game but that's a short story so idk.
Idk I'll think of something else to add-BAHAHAH IMAGINE I DO DOAWK 😭 that would be so fucking funny omg-
Idk...mayhaps.
Erm sorry for this turning into.my reading opinions but...yea!!
