There Is A Movement In My School That Is Focusing On Banning Lord Of The Flies, The Great Gatsby, And

There is a movement in my school that is focusing on banning Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, and Where The Red Fern Grows (as well as a few others) and unfortunately it’s gaining some traction. The teachers all had to attend an assembly about it where the kids presented their ideas, and my English teacher (who knows me as the local Lord of the Flies girl) told me that she was so close to pulling me out of class to debate them on it.

Anyways, just super annoyed that those books may be removed from the curriculum.

Why be normal about characters when you can be weird about them? Like yess pop off, tell me about that playlist you made for them. Show me the extremely specific headcanons you’ve created. Please do tell me about that one detail of a character that makes you have the human equivalent of a keyboard smash.

Of Course! Thanks For The Amazing Request! I Made It An Imagine If That’s Alright With You. Also, I’m

Of course! Thanks for the amazing request! I made it an imagine if that’s alright with you. Also, I’m not too good at writing Sayaka yet so sorry if I got her character wrong!

Mission: Find the gift

Chiaki yawned, smiling as she entered the hallway to the malls main shopping area. She was determined to find her girlfriend the perfect gift. Sayaka would be holding a concert tomorrow, and it would be the first one since she and Chiaki got together.

“Quest: start. Mission: Find Sayaka a nice gift.” Chiaki said under breath. The mall was huge, so she shouldn’t have a hard time finding a gift! After all, Sayaka isn’t that picky, right?

Chiaki walked through the different stores, careful to not get too sidetracked by games. That was until one caught her eye for good reason. It had a bright teal cover that had wings on it. (For anyone who’s curious about it, look up Just Sing.) It was a karaoke game, which seemed perfect! But would Sayaka like it or is that just her own opinion? Chiaki decided to take it and hold onto it while looking around some more. This particular store seemed to have everything, ranging from video games to flowers to small packs of candy and gum. But what would she like the most? Chiaki rubbed her eyes and then checked a nearby clock. Sayaka’s concert starts in three hours. Chiaki held the game closer to her and then walked over to to a small bundle of lilacs and bought them both.

Chiaki moved towards the entrance to see Sayaka. “I’m sorry Miss, but Miss Sayaka is getting ready for the concert.” A bouncer said. The door swung open anyways. “Chiaki! You came!” Sayaka said happily, ignoring the bouncer and the gifts in Chiaki’s hands. Chiaki smiled sweetly and held out the gifts. Sayaka gasped at them and dragged Chiaki into the dressing room.

“Aww, are those for me?” Sayaka asked, taking them once the door was closed. A bright pink blush was spread across her face. Chiaki nodded. “The lavenders are to help you sleep, since I noticed you don’t sleep well before a concert.” Chiaki said. “Well not everyone can sleep as easily as you can.” Sayaka laughed. Then she looked at the game. “Oh, is this a karaoke game?” Sayaka asked. “Yep. I thought it would be fun since it combined both of our talents.” “It really is perfect for us, isn’t it?” Sayaka said with a grin. “I guess this also means I’ll hear your singing voice?” Chiaki nodded.

Once the concert was over, the two girls went home hand in hand and fell asleep easily, a small vase of lavenders next to them on a nearby dresser.

Based on their infographic that I saw around the school, I think they believe it’s either too “boring” or too violent. I don’t know what books they suggested to replace it, but I do know that there was an emphasis on switching out classics with more modern YA novels. (Which isn’t to say I hate YA novels!)

Hello everyone, this is going to be my new pinned post. It’s just things that I like and don’t like, in case I begin to participate in events (something I want to do more). In case I change my username, I used to be Mikan-angiekinnie!

Overall stuff

•Favorite Genre of fanfiction/fanworks: Angst, fluff and hurt/comfort.

•Pronouns: She/Her or She/They are preferred but I don’t mind either set!

•MBTI type and zodiac sign: INFP and Pisces.

•DNI is the basic criteria, which I’m assuming you’ve seen before.

All right, time to finally update this!

-I’m apart of the fandoms for Lord of the Flies, Spiververse, Portal and Vocaloid as well as a few other things but those are the main ones.

-I used to write a lot on here, but I don’t really do that anymore. Maybe one day I will but it would be a separate blog from this!

-Some of my favorite characters are Bolin and Asami from LOK, Simon from LOTF, Miles, The Spot and Pavitr from Spiderverse and Wheatley from Portal 2. My ships tend to fall on the rare-pair spectrum so I won’t bother sharing them lol.

-I get lots of hyperfixations so I will talk about random and probably unconnected things on here.

-I am not a minor, so if you are uncomfortable with that then please feel free to block me. If you would like me to not interact with your posts, then that is okay with me and just tell me. I won’t be offended! I will note that I’m not above college age though.

So yeah, that should be about it! Enjoy my blog!

this is me coming out as an avid lover of pokemon AU's

Big thanks to @simplyender for coming up with the team with me :]]

[image description] A Digital illustration of The Spot from Across the spider verse surrounded by a team of 6 pokemon - including Mimikyu, Xurkitree, Porygon 2, Yamask, Stunfisk and Hoopa. Spot is standing on the right of the canvas looking out to the left with an arm raised. In his other hand, he is loosely holding a pokeball, and 4 others can be seen falling through portals around him. All his pokemon are moving to the left, as if attacking. The background is a very light blue with darker geometric circles patterning it. [End ID]

Me, 4,000+ fanfics deep, a million rambles, and five years into my attachment to Bolin: Oh no, what if people think I’m being a bit obsessive?

Tumblr,

Earlier today we announced to the press that we are running a beta test program for Post+, Tumblr’s newest add-on subscription tool. Post+ is a completely optional tool that will allow creators to make some of their posts exclusive to their paid subscribers. You can read more about it right over here on our @postplus Tumblr. This feature is being tested by a small group of incredible creators on Tumblr.

We want to hear about what you like, what you love, and what concerns you. Even if it’s not very nice. Tell us. We can take it. We WANT that feedback. It helps us make Tumblr better.

What we won’t ever accept is the targeted harassment and threats these creators have endured since this afternoon. These creators are some of the most talented people around, and all they’re doing is testing out a feature. These are the people who graciously agreed to pilot a program to help us discover bugs before we open it up to all creators. These are the humans who are testing a feature that we hope will soon help thousands of Tumblr creators feel empowered, get rewarded for their efforts, and find support within their community.

Our Community Guidelines are clear: Don’t engage in targeted abuse, bullying, or harassment.

Anyone in violation of these guidelines will be dealt with swiftly and will be forced to contend with the appropriate consequences. It’s okay to tell us how you feel. It’s not okay to bully someone because you disagree with their choices.
