Oh yeah..... I should probably start making the prizes now...... whoops.....
flounder from Little Mermaidyesterday's was Shrek, and I won Creepiest Costume award
costume competition? how does that work?
It’s just for fun. Everyone finds a costume online and uploads it to the group photos. Us Foxes then choose a winner and hand out prizes
This has absolutely no relation to the topic or what you guys were talking about, but I had to share it because it's great. I've recently read the Historian Tales series (beginning with The Price of Creation) by Lance Conrad and it is so good. The official description for the series is:
"The Historian is a reluctant immortal who wanders through times and worlds to witness great stories. His own story, however, is unknown to him. As he participates in the great stories he encounters, he gets glimpses of what his life might have been like before he became a Historian.
Worlds of various technologies and even magic pass under his feet as he is carried from place to place by his own feet and whatever powers took his name from him."
The whole series is you watching from his point of view as he witnesses great stories unfold. Each chapter begins with a "Musing of the Historian." Some of my favorites are:
"Only a fool underestimates a man with nothing to lose."
"If you want to see a man's heart, knock him down. Then observe how he rises. If you would see his soul, do it a thousand times more."
"All feel justified. To find the truth, a man must consider the possibility that he is wrong."
"To weaken the body, remove blood. To weaken the character, remove struggle."
"The easiest way to be invisible is to stand where no one is looking."
I have to stop now or I'll list them all, but all of the ones above are from The Price of Nobility, the second book in the series. I love this series so much. In fact, I think it is now part of my top three. The technical age group is 10-18, but in my opinion, as soon as you can understand what is going on, you can enjoy this series.
Wow that actually sounds like a book I might read! I’ll put it on my tbr list! :D
It's super interesting because the protagonist isn't the "hero" of each individual story. It's so cool seeing it from an outside point of view.

I'll see if I can get it somehow

Hmmmm my library doesn’t own the first book, only the second. Would it be alright to read the series out of order?
OOoh that's a hard question. Each adventure is individual, so it's not like you'll miss something if you start with book two. My only thing about it is the appreciation. I mean, if I read book 3 before I read book 1, it wouldn't spoil anything, but I wouldn't have the proper appreciation for book 3...Yeah, I think you're fine.
Anytime. Thanks for reading it!

fitz needs more love

fitz needs more love
He does. I feel like people don’t like him bc the majority of the fandom are Sokeefe shippers. They hate Fitz bc he is a rival. Then they point out all of his imperfections (which are normal for a teenage boy to have) and say that Keefe is perfect and Fitz is the worst. I do love Keefe but he still has some faults! So does Fitz. But he’s trying to control his anger more.
IKR!!!! He's GROWING!!! He's LEARNING!!!!
I'll talk about his upbringing and how it influenced him later when I have time >:(

I tend to worry a lot, especially when it comes to my friends. I even freaking have a problem with pulling out my eyelashes.
