Rad Reading-November

This month I read a book called Wings Of Fire: Legends Darkstalker by Tui T. Sutherland. In this book it follows three points of view. Darkstalker, Clearsight, and Fathom. In this book, the plot is how Darkstalker came to be so evil, how he was stopped at the time, and not much else since this book isn’t even part of the main series. I liked this book because it showed information on a character that previously nobody knew about, and also gave some information on animus powers. It also gives you information about how nightwings used to be, which since we originally didn’t know much about them its actually a nice world builder. I also like it because you can read it at any point in the series, and it wont spoil anything. My favorite character is Clearsight because she is brave. The quote that proves this is “‘He might kill me.’ That future was horribly clear, real behind her eyes even as her mind refused to believe it.” For context, she is about to go stop Darkstalker from doing some evil stuff that I can’t say because spoilers. My favorite quote is “‘Is that what other brothers and sisters are like?’” This quote is my favorite because its one of the more light hearted ones, which later on are far and few in between. It’s also when Fathom and his grandfather, Albatross, are bonding which is wholesome.

Pigeons arguing

Pigeon 1: SQUAWK SQUAWK

Pigeon 2: SQUAWK SQUAWK

Pigeon 3: SQUAWKKKKKKKK
To a normal person, this might just be a few pigeons squawking very loudly. For the pigeons, however, it is a petty argument.

Pigeon 1: SEEDS ARE WAY BETTER THAN BREAD WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?!?!?!?!

Pigeon 2: BREAD IS THE BEST FOOD EVER! WE GET IT LESS THAN WE GET SEEDS! BREAD IS A DELICACY!

Pigeon 3: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Person 1: why are those pigeons so loud?

Person 2: Probably hungry.

Person 1: yeah, should we feed them?

Person 2: No, the sign says we shouldn’t.

Pigeon 1: COME ONNNNNNNNN!

Pigeon 2: YOU ARE WRONG!

Pigeon 1: NO YOU ARE!

Pigeon 2: UNO REVERSE CARD!

Pigeon 1: YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE ONE!

Pigeon 2: SO WHAT?

Pigeon 1: YOU CANT DO THAT!

Pigeon 3: *More aggravated yelling*

Person 1: God, they are loud.

Person 2: You can say that again.

Person 1: Do you think they are talking about something?

Person 2: Birds can’t talk.

Person 1: True.

Pigeon 1: BREAD SUCKS! MOST OF THE TIME ITS STALE!

Pigeon 2: SEEDS SUCK! THEY HAVE A BAD TEXTURE!

Pigeon 1: SEEDS ARE AMAZING! THEY TASTE GREAT!

Pigeon 2: BREAD IS THE BEST! ITS FLUFFY!

Pigeon 1: ITS STALE!

Pigeon 2: FLUFFY!

Pigeon 3: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Person 1: It’s getting windy. We should leave.

Person 2: OW! I just got sniped by a leaf.

Person 1: Let’s go, the pigeons are starting to hurt my ears anyways.

Pigeon 1: IM GOING TO THROW A LEAF AT YOU!

Pigeon 2: YOU WOULD NOT!

Pigeon 2: >:(

Pigeon 1: 🙂

Pigeon 3: O:

They then argued for the rest of the day.

Thankful Things

Three things I’m thankful for are my cats, this one specific achievement, and my family. I’m thankful for my cats because not only are they adorable fluffsters, but they are awesome at emotional support. Whenever I’m sad I find a cat. It can be Snowball, Pete, Maria, Pumpkin, any of them. They all have helped me through a lot, although Pete helped me through a lot more than the others since he’s the oldest and my favorite. I’m thankful for the one specific achievement, which is setting boundaries. I used to go with the flow a bit too much, doing things I was uncomfortable with just hoping people would catch on to it, but I’ve been setting firm boundaries. The day I realized this I felt this warm, fuzzy feeling somewhere around the lower part of my stomach. It felt like walking up to a bonfire after being in the freezing cold, but ten times better. It just felt really warm and fuzzy, and since I was about to go to sleep I slept really well. I’m thankful for my family because they have always been there. The times they haven’t isn’t their fault, because those times I was too stubborn to let them. They all care about me, and I care about them. I wish all of them have happy and amazing futures.

Rad Reading-October

The title of the book I’m doing this month is The Land Of Stories: Worlds Collide by Chris Colfer. Here’s a short summary of the plot. In The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer, Connor Bailey has to fight against the Literary Army with an army of his own-from his short stories. That’s bad enough, but then the fairy council is turned to stone by Medusa and Froggy is trapped in a magic mirror! Things only get worse when his sister, Alex, the most powerful fairy of them all, gets cursed by mirror dust and the witches combined. Now Connor has to fight with Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood, Jack, Bree, and the Book huggers against 2 major threats! How will he deal with this? You have to read to find out. I liked this book because it was the finale, and who doesn’t like a finale? Well, unless it’s unfulfilling. However, the finale wasn’t unfulfilling at all. I can’t say much because spoilers, but it was really entertaining with jokes and plot twists. There really was a lot of plot twists, which once again I can’t say, but let’s just say holy **** this book wraps the whole lore together rather nicely. Everything you find out is coherent, and it does such a great job correlating stories with each other. The story of the snow queen was the key player though, so if you want to get the references I suggest reading that book first. My favorite character is mother goose, and that’s because she is comedy gold, even in serious situations. Here’s a quote to prove it. “‘As I said to the Children’s Crusade of 1212: Get out of here, kiddos! This isn’t your fight!’” This is as close to comedy as you can get in the situation they were there, and with the situation they were it it takes some serious stuff to actually be able to keep the mood up like that while saving children. Now, I introduce… Peter Pan saying appendage jokes to Captain Hook because its funny!

“‘Do you know what I wish I could do more than anything else in the world, Peter?’ Captain Hook asked.” “‘Clap?’ Peter Pan guessed.” “‘What?’ the captain asked.’No!’” ”’Do a handstand?’” “‘NO!”’ “‘Play the piano?” “‘STOP IT! STOP MAKING APPENDAGE JOKES!’” “‘Why? Is it getting out of hand?’” “‘YOU ARE SO IMMATURE!’” “‘Captain, now is not the time to point the finger’”

This is my favorite series of quotes because it just makes me laugh so much. Even more than the Wicked Witch of The West getting mad over the Merry Men insulting her appearance.

Three Wishes

If a genie granted me three wishes and I couldn’t wish for more wishes, It would take a bit of time to think. After a while of thinking, permanent world peace would be the first one I would do. By permanent world peace, I don’t mean just wars. I mean water problems, world hunger, poverty, inflation, cancer, everything that prevents peace. I would do this because this would not only benefit me, but pretty much everyone. It’s also a morally good thing to do and could make people happier, which is the true end goal. My next wish would be an enormous amount of money. Why you may ask? that’s simple, and in fact a one word answer. Cats. If I had a large amount of money I could buy a mansion and get self cleaning litter boxes, a lot of those fountain water bowls, a lot of cat toys and fun places to hide for them, and also I wouldn’t have to worry about vet bills! It would be awesome having so much happy cats. Finally, last but not least, for no one or pet to die. I already have permanent world peace at this point, so overpopulation wouldn’t be a problem. Everyone, and I mean everyone has had to deal with the death of a loved one or pet. But maybe, if everyone was immortal, everyone would be happy. Since there’s permanent world peace, the problems that come with that wouldn’t happen. Nobody would have to deal with the death of someone they hold oh so dear. I guess this last wish is more me reflecting my own griefs into this prompt, but it’s also the truth. On a more light hearted note, did you know…I got 2 new kittens recently? Originally, as mentioned in a previous post, we were only going to get one but my mom just fell in love with one I didn’t. The kittens names are Pumpkin and Maria. I’m planning to harness train them at 3 months, if they’re big enough. I’m going to give them all the love they need, because they deserve it. Pumpkin is white with orange spots and blue eyes, he’s a boy. Maria is a black and brown kitten with green eyes. She’s a girl. Pumpkin is the loving one, and Maria is a bit more of a adventurer. Either way, I love them both.

My Perfect (Gaming) Day-Start to Finish

My perfect day would be pretty simple. Not any mythical stuff like following unicorns over rainbows, not any vacations to anywhere, even places like Japan. My perfect day is actually really easy to achieve if I get a few fans in my room. My perfect day would be waking up with all my cats next to each other, all on me because who doesn’t want fluffy cats to lay on top of them? Well allergic people obviously, but that’s besides the point. The next part of my day would be getting up and going to my computer. The room would be cold, giving me an excuse to use my comfortable blankets without overheating. Once I get comfortable, I’m going to start playing Genshin Impact on my computer. I’ll work on some of those extremely long world quests, I’ll do story quests, I’ll farm for primogems and get a lot by doing puzzles. I’ll reach high exploration, and hopefully get a character I like on the Character banner. Fun fact:yesterday I got Venti on the Character banner. I’ve had some good luck on the character and weapon banner because I got Staff of Homa, Neuvilette, and Venti which all weren’t guaranteed things to get. That would basically be my whole day, although some of it would also be playing Roblox, watching YouTube, and eating food I like. For example, McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A. That pretty much sums every detail up. That is indeed everything. Now im just elongating it. Well, this is the end of the elongation. I don’t even know if that’s a word. Uhhhhh, goodbye I guess..
