No, I do not know how long each “chapter” will be. I don’t have a plan, so it’s whatever feels right or like a cliffhanger. Not putting too much pressure on myself is the way to go, or my brain will just go lol nope. Go me! If I get my AO3 invite and stuff then I might try arranging it there…

Caleb rushed to his brother’s room. It couldn’t be true… Jonathan hadn’t… No… It couldn’t be… It wouldn’t be fair…

Caleb had hated it when his brother had joined a Wolf Guard pack. It was possibly the worst idea that Jonathan had ever had, which was saying a lot. A Wolf Guard pack… As Crown Prince, Jonathan had had invitations to any pack in the kingdom, and he had to pick one that was actually dangerous. Of course he had…

It wasn’t a surprise. Jonathan had always felt suffocated in the Royal Court, which was only partly due to his nature. A wolf born to run free and all that poetic shit. The Wolf Guard Track sends their members across the continent. It was the perfect kind of pack for a young, reckless wolf.

Still… joining the type of pack that guides people through mystical forests and over treacherous mountain paths is a big jump to make from living in a castle. It’s not like the world was peace free, no matter what the kingdoms would have you believe.

And now look where that got Jonathan. Caleb skidded to a halt outside a door painted to look like the night sky. He wasn’t sure he could do this…

Nevertheless, he pushed the door inward. He couldn’t be a coward, and Jonathan needed him.

Molly Bauer's first year of college is not the picture-perfect piece of art she'd always envisioned. On day one at PICA, Molly discovers that--through some horrible twist of fate--her full-ride scholarship has vanished! But the ancient texts (PICA's dusty financial aid documents) reveal a loophole. If Molly and 9 other art students win a single game of softball, they'll receive a massive athletic scholarship. Can Molly's crew of ragtag artists succeed in softball without dropping the ball?

The author of the New York Times best-selling Check, Please series, Ngozi Ukazu, returns with debut artist Madeline Rupert to bring an energetic young adult story about authenticity, old vs. new, and college failure. It also poses the question: "Is art school worth it?"

I’ve been a huge fan of sakana since forever, and I like self-contained sports stories (the heated drama is peak, but I can’t stick with something super long) so I knew I’d love this graphic novel. and I was right.

I like the ensemble! The focus is primarily on the main character, but you get the sense they’re doing their own stuff in the periphery. wrangling a bunch of art students is a really funny concept and allows for a lot of personality contrasts.

it’s not a romance, but it does have romantic elements, and the love interest-type character is SO funny. there were several scenes with her that legit got a laugh out of me

super worth it, 100% recommended for a fun time. might give ex-art school students psychic damage

i hope the next ti west/mia goth picture is gonna have Maxine Minx facing her own mortality and visible aging in like. 1999. She’d be 46 at the beginning of the dot com insanity. something about becoming older while contending with newer tech. i dunno. i never want this to end but everything ends kind of thing

Okay this is the *actual* last comment, for real, but I just found out Spider is now smearing me as a convert and accusing me of being involved with drama I was not involved with because he mistakenly attributed my apologies for his public temper tantrum as being about something unrelated.

THIS IS A FALSE ACCUSATION and I do not appreciate having yet another bit of fake malicious intent falsely ascribed to my actions and* attributing a completely unrelated attack to me.

Also, it's very sad and disappointing whenever a Jew gets mad at a convert because something else is going on in the Jew's life and the convert happens to be in the splash zone and the Jew falls over backwards to smear the convert and invalidate her faith.

Just....the childish aggression is making me so, so sad and disappointed, from someone I used to think very highly of, who is now lying about me and publicly smearing me with false accusations based on a conflict he started because he misinterpreted something I said and I went out of my way to give him the benefit of the doubt when trying to clear up the mistake HE MADE that led him to decide bullying and attacking me for three fucking days was appropriate and okay and that I'm the bad guy for saying it's wildly unprofessional to behave like this in public to a former customer face.

Sorry, but facts, reality, linear time and the truth of what I actually said and did are on my side here, and I will not stand for being smeared and attacked and shat all over because I had the gall to try to kindly resolve his uncalled for, unjustified temper tantrum.

I am also not sorry that I left a side note in the tags that it was also unacceptable for HIM to drag his daughter into a stupid internet slapfight based on his own reading comprehension failure. Because it was and is unacceptable, and she needs to hear that message from someone.

End of story. Keep digging that hole as long as you like, Spider. It's not helping your case and is continuing to make you look progressively worse and more unreasonable, and the only person you have to blame is yourself.

okay okay but what if but what if the perception of time in rain world works non-linearly like it does in the movie Arrival

Like all I want is someone to love and adore, but with the smallest inkling that they actually care about me as a person too and won't drop me the first time I'm an inconvenience. If I had that we'd fuck nasty every which way all the damn time and I'd send them cute nudes to fluster them when I was feeling flirty. It shouldn't be so damned hard to find that 😔

The real mystery is the people who write their stories out of order. Who scrambled your brains. Who gave you such power over chaos. I can't even skip past an incomplete paragraph without breaking into hives.

Honestly the more I hear people calling Jason a tank, the more I think that the people writing it are just short

tfw u see the fourth Amygdala you’ve encountered in the chalice dungeons:

[technoxenoholic]

i see so many "hey this will help you write if you have adhd" things that are like. they are "more stimulating" by gamifying it somehow. like. making things on your screen move. and i regret to inform y'all that when things on my screen move without my permission it doesn't help me write it doesn't help me focus it actually just makes me murderously violent

So there's one shrine that goes over the basics of flurry rush and I think another that goes over shield parry. I don't remember if they were separate shrines or the same.

I feel like they 'widened the window' of time allowed to do flurry rush either in that shrine or in the entirety of the game (haven't used FR outside of the shrine yet), cause I SUCK at it. I managed to get all three flurry rushes on my first try, along with shield parries. I haven't played BotW for over a year maybe and it's not like any other game I play has a timing mechanic in battle like that. I feel like the game was being generous cause it was a tutorial shrine to get the hang of it.

My shield parry is about half/half. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. I used to SP the Guardians before I switched to a bow which I was better with. But FR was always an issue for me. If I got it, it was out of dumb luck somehow.

thinking abt the fact casey jr is in a world where he will never see the uncles he knew before, instead he will see them be similar but it will never be the same. he's mourning people that are standing right in front of him
