Thoughts: 

Emily Wilde II didn't disappoint, but Mislaid in Parts Half Known did. I was really hoping we'd be immersed in a world of dinosaurs similar to Across the Green Grass Fields, but we spent such little time there.

The non-fiction reads this month really outshone the fiction reads. I especially enjoyed Betty Gilpin's All the Women in My Brain. It was weird and wonderful.

Witch Showdown! 😂 Melissa vs. Candace - Hilarious Banter!

Bible Study Showdown: When Melissa Joan Hart Met Candace Cameron-Bure's Satanic Alter Ego Oh, hold onto your broomsticks, folks! Melissa Joan Hart just threw some holy shade at none other than Candace Cameron-Bure for her days as a devilishly delightful witch on Boy Meets World. I mean, can you imagine? It's like finding out Mother Teresa used to moonlight as a stand-up comedian. So, get this: Melissa and Candace, both time-travelers from the '90s, guest-starred on an episode fittingly titled "The Witches of Pennbrook." You know, the good ol' days when spellcasting and studying were basically synonymous. Boy Meets World sure had its priorities straight. Now, Melissa's all like, "Listen up, world! I was the Teenage Witch, but not the satanic kind!" She's got a point, though. While her Sabrina was busy juggling high school and potions, Candace's character, Millie, was apparently jonesing for a pentagram-shaped balcony with a view. Because, you know, summoning Satan requires good lighting and a killer vista. Picture this: Millie, surrounded by candles and speaking in tongues that would make your Sunday school teacher blush. Eric, the ultimate witchcraft debunker, barges in and saves the day with a spell from his "Witchcraft for Dummies" book. Ah, the literary classics! But wait, it gets better. Sabrina herself (yes, Melissa's cameo) shows up, ready for a balcony-bound date. Eric's a nervous wreck, thanks to Jack's "relationship" with Millie. And Sabrina, the witch in the room, has the audacity to ask, "What's so spooky about that?" Classic TV gold, I tell you. But fast forward to real life, and here we are. Candace Cameron-Bure, that poster child for conservative values, left her Hallmark gig to join Great American Media. You know, because nothing says "family values" like leaving a cozy network to tackle, well, more conservative values. Candace declared, "I'm on a mission to keep traditional marriage at the core!" Cue the record scratch. Suddenly, the world's like, "Wait, what?!" And just like that, our dear Candace got a reality check from the peanut gallery. But you know what? She defended her stance, claiming she's not trying to convert us all to the Church of Hallmark. Instead, she's all about celebrating the big guy's greatness through stories. God bless those heartwarming family sitcoms with a side of divine intervention! So there you have it, folks. The tale of Melissa Joan Hart, Candace Cameron-Bure, and a sitcom episode that made Hocus Pocus look like a documentary. It's proof that even in the wild world of '90s TV, life can be stranger than fiction. Now, let's all head to Bible study and contemplate the theological implications of casting spells on sitcom balconies. 📚✨# Bible Study Showdown: When Melissa Joan Hart Met Candace Cameron-Bure's Satanic Alter Ego Oh, hold onto your broomsticks, folks!

School of rock?

Ieri sera, prima che Aurora andasse a dormire e visto che sta facendo le sue primissime lezioncine di canto, dopo esserci esercitati un po' assieme a rifare le note cantando sulla tastiera le ho fatto vedere un po' di cantanti su youtube, più che altro per farla incuriosire su stili, estetica e generi:

Eva Cassidy, ma qui ho evidentemente sparato altissimo.

Joan Jett ("ma quindi è entrata nel bar e ha conosciuto quello con cui ha fatto la band?" colpa mia che prima le ho messo "I love Rock'n'Roll" e poi, visto che "è in bianco è nero questo, papà" sono passato a "I Hate Myself for Loving You")

Blondie, nell'immortale Heart of Glass. Didn't impress her. Però m'è scappato di dire "ex coniglietta" e sono stato torturato finché non le ho spiegato cosa significava "coniglietta". Vogliatemi bene.

Fletwood Mac, per farle vedere Stevie Nicks. Video di Gold Dust Woman, "ma questi si vestono come in Harry Potter. Guarda, ha quei cosi ai polsi, come Harry Potter".

PJ Harvey, "Good Fortune". "Ma come fa a cantare per strada se dietro non c'è nessuno che suona?" e lì a spiegarle cosa significa video musicale, poi vede tra i suggeriti "C'mon Billy" e mi chiede di metterglielo, e lì a spiegarle perché Polly Jean sta cantando quella canzone e la storia dietro, che è finta ma interpretata come fosse vera. Highlight: "Ma perché dorme sul letto con le scarpe, che schifo"

Sleater Kinney, "Jumpers". "Ma quella è una della band? Ah forse è quella lì. No, papà, è una che non c'entra niente."

Bikini Kill, "Rebel Girl". Qui ha taciuto perché era stanca, ed in effetti è davvero troppo presto perché lei assorba il significato del movimento riot grrrl, però ok. Si piantano i semini dove si può.

Per ultimo avevo messo Melissa Auf Der Maur con "Followed the waves" (unica canzone degna di nota che abbia mai siglato) però dal vivo. Ma ve lo devo dire: o era in serata no o Melissa non ce la fa a cantare decentemente dal vivo.

[your90strend]

Welcome to high school, the best or worst time of your life.

This group verse is inspired by 90s high school sitcoms such as Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince, okay you get the picture. It takes place in the fictional average-sized, average-American town of Marble Hills. Your muse is attending Marble Hills High, one of two schools in town. Go Wild Wolves!

Some fun facts about Marble Hills and Marble Hills High

Marble Hills is conveniently located about an hour away from the beach, two hours away from the snowy mountains, and can get any kind of weather. So somewhere in the North part of the East Coast.

The school’s colors are red and gold

Marble Hills High rival is the Clear Lake High, home of the Clear Lake Cougars. The school’s colors are blue and green

The most popular mall is Fairside Mall. It has Orange Julius, Hot Dog on a Stick, RadioShack, F.Y.E, Photo booths, Mrs. Fields, EB Games, KB Toys, and more.

There’s an old roller rink called Skateland that’s been newly renovated with our favorite 90s arcade carpet and features a Starcade!

Some teens congregate at Sal’s Slicery after school. The pizza joint has been open since their parents were in school.

There’s of course a Borders, Blockbuster,  Chuck E Cheese, Toys R Us, 7-11, Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, TWO McDonalds, a Taco Bell, a Pizza Hut, and some of our other favorite chain stores  

rules:

this is a lowkey 1990s american high school group verse. the idea of this verse is just to have interconnected stories. i will not be doing activity checks or dictating that you must write or follow someone. y'all do you.

any character can join whether they took place in a 90s american high school setting or not.

characters will be restricted between the ages of 14-18. muns are required to be over 18 to join.

characters may have supernatural powers, but keep in mind that this is a high school verse based on 90s sitcoms so don't go overboard. also if a mun does not want to interact with supernatural characters, that's their choice.

if you are a multi-muse please submit separate applications for each character you want to join.

in terms of fcs, if you have a duplicate talk to the person who is already on the list. it's up to them.

please be nice to each other and don't force each other to interact. i have to be a mother 24/7 i do not want to be your mother.

A discord server is available upon request.

i wrote out a lot of potential places, but if you want more feel free to create whatever and I can add it to the list.

if anyone who is not american needs school subject or high school information in general, feel free to reach out. or if you are a youngin who needs 90s information, also reach out. i was born in the early 90s and have older siblings who went to high school in the 90s, so i have some experience outside of TV sitcoms. (a helpful guide is here!)

tag: gv ; stronger than a 90s trend

application to join:

please complete and submit this application so it can be posted on the blog for people to read.
