Fat slacker fox named Audie. Guess who she’s based on and cookies for everyone!

Man, my inbox got busy, too. lol

[wats-am]

Some kandi I made on New Year’s day. Please excuse my disgusting carpet.

Here’s what they are (top to bottom):

. A Nancy Thompson (Nightmare on Elmstreet) single, with the colours I associate with her. She’s my favourite final girl. I plan to make more final girl singles, like a series.

. A necklace for the Happy Mondays album “Pills ‘n’ Thrills And Bellyaches”, which is one of my favourites.

. A Deee-Lite single.

. Another Happy Mondays single with the initials for their song “Wrote For Luck”. Colours based on their album, “Bummed”.

. An “Alanis” single for Alanis Morissette, colours based on her album “Jagged Little Pill”.

. A necklace and single set for the album “Play”, by Moby, which is another favourite. I’m not usually a blue person, but I really like the colours on these, and the transparent beads.

. A cosmic brownie single based on a design I found on Pinterest.

. A single that says, “I <3 Stoner Girls”. I was specifically thinking of Milla Jonovich in “Dazed And Confused” and Teresa Nervosa in “Slacker”, when I made this. Thinking about making one for stoner boys, too.

. A single that says “Acieed”, after the song “We Call It Acieed” by D-Mob.

. A pair of singles for Bluntman and Chronic, from the View Askewniverse. I definitely want to make more singles for View Askew characters.

rate every Gordon Korman book you read, I dare you 🤠🤠🤠

OKAY OKAY SO THIS IS GONNA BE LONG

There's very small spoilers so sorry 😓

Ungifted: 11/10

I'm very biased here but I genuinely love this book. It's definitely doesn't have as that interesting of a premise compared to other books, but this book is the one that truly made me love Gordon Korman books. Also almost everyone is neurodivergent in this book

Supergifted: 6/10

The sequel to ungifted. A lot less neurodivergency. It focused a lot more on noah than donovan (I love noah, don't get me wrong, but still) and everyone was so mean to donovan in the book. Here's a list of all the NICE things people did for him in the book

Took the pressure off of him (backfires)

A hug

A GENUINE apology 🎉🎉🎉

A backhanded apology (he still accepted it)

And a medal (it makes sense in the story)

Numbers 2-5 happened in the LAST 3 CHAPTERS. Noah was extremely flanderized and all the characters from the previous book became bg characters. GK brought a bg character as a big character and he fucking sucks. No one likes you, Brad, shut up about the god damn corps. It gets a 6 bc it's ungifted. Hopefully Gordon Korman does better in the next book 🙏

Schooled: 7/10

Nice book. Not much to say about it. Capricorn is kind of bland even though he's supposed to be interesting. There's a kind of weird age gap CRUSH (very important) and a big power imbalance between two characters (bully and victim). There's another book called Old School that sounds like it's a rewrite of this book. If Gordon takes out/rewrites the weird crush and sociopathic school traditions and bullies, I'll be fine. This is the first book I read by GK so I might also be biased here.

Restart: 8.5/10

Made me really sad. I think this is one of the few books where a character cries so it got points for that. I fucking hate frank ambrose.

Whatshisface: 9/10

Oh my god I love this book. Cooper Vega might be the best and most relatable character in a Gordon Korman book. This book pulled at my heart strings. It has a much less realistic plot but it's still amazing. Roderick Northrop is my little baby. I am his parent now. It also opens up to a lot more aus.

The Unteachables: 8/10

A very sweet book. Another book where none of the characters are neurotypical. Mateo is VERY clearly autistic.

Unplugged: 8/10

Also cool. It gets WILD nearing the end. I can't talk about how good this book is without spoiling it 💔

The Superteacher Project: 8/10

This book is sweet and has an interesting premise. It kind of pisses me off bc it was written to be suspenseful and you're supposed to be surprised when it's revealed that aidact is a robot (if you haven't already guessed) BUT IT WAS SPOILED IN THE SYNOPSIS

Slugfest: 7/10

One of my least favorites. It's not as interesting as the other books and it was kind of boring. It's based around PE class so y'know

Slacker: 8/10

It was pretty hard to read at first bc it was really slow. It picks up the pace around the middle. The main character kind of sucks but it's in a good way y'know?

Level 13: 9/10

HOLY SHIT THIS WAS INSANE. This is slacker's sequel. The first book was about a gamer boy who's forced to help people with his fake club. This book is about the same kid getting STALKED AND HARRASSED by a GROWN MAN and the boy gets HOSPITALIZED. went from 0 to 100 real quick.

Linked: 8/10

This book was dark but it really was a good book. All of the kids were very realistic (for better or for worse.) Most of the characters have some problems that still aren't fixed/bettered at the end of the story. Tw for racism and white supremacy in this book.

Mixed-Up: 8.5/10

Very gay. Also a book with obviously fictional themes. Another book I cant get too much into without spoiling 😭 Deals with greif and parental death/being orphaned.

Operation Do-Over: 9/10

First off, the main character is dead. Maybe. We don't actually know bc it's left up to the reader but it's universally agreed upon that he's dead and time traveled. Good book. Wish GK showed more of Ty and Mason's friendship beyond them falling apart. I know there was that one chapter that talks about how much they cared about each other but it was all talk. No showing.

The Fort: 10/10

The might be the darkest Gordon Korman book ever. Most of the children are suffering at home and they don't deserve it (bc they're children obviously) so it really brings out my parental instincts. Tw for mentions of drug use, and depictions of domestic violence (both against a spouse and a child)

Notorious: 8/10

I am literally zeebee tice. uhhh it's kind of boring at first but it gets a big better. mainly near the end tho... I'm only really giving it an 8 bc of the main characters they're awesome. Especially zeebee. I'm zeebee. Uhh warning for mentions of crime? Also warning for possible animal murder and stalking.

Faker: 9/10

ANGST!! YAY!! Daddy issues seem to be very relevant in Gordon Korman's books. It took me a bit to get into the book but probably not for others. I also don't understand money or scams so it probably could've been a 9.5 if I did.

6th Grade Nickname Game: 8/10

Really short. Also gay. Uhh that's it

No More Dead Dogs: 8/10

Also kind of short. Uhh basically glee (I haven't watched glee my friend said this.) Father issues in the book so yay! I really want to listen to the Dead Mangoes.

The Juvie Three: 8.5/10 so far

I haven't finished this but it's cool. Obviously about crime. Duh. Warning for gangs and mention of manslaughter. Tw for mentions of child abuse.

Sorry this is so long. Love your art btw!!

Also I'm sorry I didn't get to this fast enough :(

I haven't checked Tumblr in a while
