#it seems y'all like bad science puns

[moodywyrm]

Saw you wanted Jill Valentine asks and came (pun intended) here at the speed of sound. How would she be with a bookworm s/o? Better yet! How do you think she would be in a college au?

birdy you're a goddamn genius. also, can I call you birdy? you've been here literally since my first tlou fic and ily <3

Jill seems older and ik she's supposed to be like 40 in the newest movie? but for the sake of this she's 20-21 and in her last two years undergrad <3 she is not a cop here <3

Jill Valentine, human rights major! Used to be in political science until she realized she cared more about the human side of politics and law than the logistical side. and if you know. you know that a lot of (male) political science majors are the most insanely out of touch/unethical mfers out there. she simply did not want to do that when she could focus on what she actually cares about! people! human rights!

you meet her in a joint-subject class for human rights and history, specifically dealing with instances where U.S. involvement exacerbated and/or facilitated human rights violations. totally not based off a class I took <3 totally <3

it was a required class for your major/minor, so of fucking course you were running late the first day. you got in the door two minutes before class started (late for me), and sat in the first available seat. front row, next to this very pretty and very serious looking girl. the first row type.

you were literally just trying to steady your breathing, having sprinted down three flights of stairs when you realized you were in the wrong classroom, when the very pretty very serious girl handed you a stack of syllabi.

you took one and handed it down, and clearly you must have looked anxious as all hell bc when you turned forward, the very pretty very serious girl leaned over and whispered to you.

"You okay there?" She murmured, looking genuinely worried and a little bit amused.

"I- uh, yeah, sorry, just nervous. I forgot we were in lecture hall 8 and not 108," You rambled, pulling out your notebook and pen, laying everything out.

"Easy mistake to make. It's not exactly easy, finding the basement level in this building," She said, her voice smooth and kept low. The room was loud, so you had to lean in to hear her, and dear god she smelled good too?

She hadn't even really done anything, and yet here you were, melting and panicking because of her.

That was y'all's first meeting!! You got her name and number before the end of class, because it's always good to have at least one contact in a class, and you didn't seem like a creep so she had no problems handing it over <3

Btw Jill? Huge study date girlie. Y'all started having regular study sessions (read: dates) like a week into the class because history readings combined with government/political logistics is just. hard. not a fun combo.

It's usually in the library or in a coffee shop, where she always brings fuel (caffeine and snacks <3) for the two of you <3 even buys you lunch if y'all are studying for a long time!

But eventually, once y'all are closer friends (two sapphic yearning for each other), she just starts inviting you back to her apartment? and cooking you dinner? and letting you sleep over? in her bed? you know, casual friend stuff.

this is in fact how y'all get together, because one day literally neither of y'all can take the tension anymore, but that's for another post

point is! you spend a lot of time at her apartment! even when you're not studying, she'll invite you over literally just to keep her company because she's so down bad. just having you sit on Her Couch, reading your books in Her Blanket makes her melt into a puddle.

that gets us to bookworm reader!! Jill also strikes me as a reader, so she always lets you read from her collection. If you're ever reading a book from her shelf, you leave it at her place and she Refuses to move your bookmark. She is also like, absolutely the type to buy books that you wanted to read but didn't have, just so you could read them. Doesn't matter if they're not her taste, if you want them she's getting them. Mostly because she knows you'd feel guilty if she gave them to you outright, so she had to be sneaky about it <3

Also!! If you read before class, she 100% respects your reading time. Glares at anyone who tries to bother you while you're reading, also started bringing books to read before class!! Y'all literally started showing up super early just so you could read together, in peace <3 (is this kinda like abby in bookish little crush yes. what about it.)

loves having reading dates with you. aka you go to a coffee shop, you read and she either works or watches you (or both). keeps you fueled, keeps you cozy, and by god if you haven't read an insane amount since you've known her. queen <3

this is all I have for now :( sorry :( trying to get the writing brain back online :(

[delvalentine]

Hello! Can I have a romantic matchup for tears of themis please?

Appearance : 5'4 ace/heteromantic girl ambivert.Dark brown hair/eyes (I wear glasses but they are also sun glasses because bright lights give me a headache) a little chubby/muscled and pale skin+permanent smirk/smile/ neutral face. Plump lips. My style varies a lot (always comfy) but I never wear dresses heels/makeup. I love to imagine outfits with symbols from fandoms or my own drawings so I have a rather unique style (most of the time I wear a NASA jacket and leather boots/sneakers, I also love sleeveless turtleneck) who changes a lot. I have malleable cheeks and tiny hands/fingers/wrist.

MBTI: INTP-T and chaotic neutral/good

Zodiac: Gemini

Personality : .Sarcastic,a little naive but I have a backbone (don't bother flirting with me and if you feel that I am flirting with you which happens a lot then it's just my personality and on the rare occasion I notice they have to confess or I won't believe it) ,calculative,protective,creative,expressive,manipulative,a devil's advocate,prideful,charismatic, smartass, bookworm, daydreamer, a little insensitive/blunt because I'm more on the logical side ,vengeful, mischievous, a huge tease, open minded, very curious, gets annoyed easily, impatient (unless it's in drawing because I am a perfectionist there) so kind of a bad temper, observant but not romantically,sadistic to a point but my conscience prevents me from doing these acts. Indifferent to many things, morally ambiguous as my moral compass is on the neutral side I don't believe in absolute evil/good, y'all better thank my conscience they work too well I never have fun.

With my friends I am either laughing, goofing around or annoyed. I love to give bad puns or cursed ideas who are gore/weird and saying I know y all love me. Those who don't talk to me see me as a nerd aggressive smart and blunt person ( even prideful) and strangers as polite and kind. I notice a lot of details because I don't let my guard down even if I daydream plus I have a photographic + sound memory and they work very well in all situations which can be a bother when I try to concentrate which is difficult for me because I get distracted easily. Also I have very weird reflexes so...anyone who approaches me by surprise gets hit, any sudden movement and I already have my leg/arm going their way which got me into a lot of trouble.

Dislikes: I fight for my beliefs. I have trust issues so I never talk about my problems and will use humor when confronted. Bright lights. Cooking. Slow things or people. When I get teased in a mean way (otherwise I actually like being teased it's a fun fight after). People who change side easily and hypocrites. Overly serious people. I tend to be aggressive and expose an annoyed face easily (I am moody), plus I hate orders and love pressing buttons it's funny(in a fun way rarely in a mean one) unless it's a sensitive subject. When I feel that I am unwanted or someone insults me or take me for granted I become very cold and distance myself and the relationship becomes strained the more they take time to ask for forgiveness, something I might give but will never forget.

Likes: I love cats/laughter/sweets/pranks/dark humour/ a true crime and Supernatural enthusiast and I love science especially concerning space, chemistry, robotic and psychology. Books, sleep, drawing and video games too. Cherries. Sushi.Oh and debates I love them. Surprises too I hate routine and runs away from it. I like making character analysis which I often get right but never show to the people around me because I know they will trust me less.

Hobbits : Reading, getting lost in a book, drawing, learning, debating, daydreaming, sports (I practice karate and shooting), art (piano/drawing/writing especially poetry) and video games

I have some bad habits like biting my nails (I just got rid of it by painting them black)/lips and moving my leg up and down because I am always nervous, disorganized room/sleep and eating schedule plus I am lazy. Also I might try to hide it but I am very competitive and a sore loser

Fun fact : I dream a lot and write my dreams. I don't mind nightmares on the contrary I welcome them because I find them to be a nice experience and they give me ideas plus the amount of emotions you can feel is amazing. I also tend to curse while talking.

When I get hurt, none takes me seriously because I start laughing uncontrollably even if it hurts a lot. Which means if I get stabbed, I am not dying of blood lost, nooo I am dying of laughter.

I rarely get motivated but when I do I give a very good work and put my soul in it, if I don't reach my goal I feel down for a while and become very snappy.

I am a lazy student (hell if I don't feel like writting I don't especially exercises that I understood) but also at top of my class so none says anything (i can befriend people easily if I want to, teachers included). My projects are often done last minute or just improvisation but I get a good mark at them which means that yes sometimes I can become arrogant and I don't really know what it feels like to study really hard and fail sorry. But I know it will bite me later. I often argue my way out of a situation with anyone : I know the exercise why should I write it? If I told you the answer then I know how I got it and you know it too no need for me to write the correction. Mum the brain is a muscle too so I am in fact exercising.

When dealing with an emotional person I don't know what to do I will try to give them words to keep going, it succeed but I am rather harsh plus I try to make jokes to cheer them up.But if a friend breaks down before me I will do my best to cheer them up (ahem jokes and reminding them of all the success they achieved) and if I am comfortable and they want a hug I will give it. I hate people who denies that others helped them.

My love language is gifts, quality time, a little act of service and affection in private if comfortable. I also love to send memes saying it reminds me of us/you and holding pinkies.

I am stubborn, moody (one day I can be really cold/snappy to the person because I am in a bad mood but I apologize after). I speak Arabic, french and English (in that order) and trying to learn italian. I am also an only child.

Thank you!

vyn richter

vyn has an ambiguous moral compass that would allow the two of you to be more compatible than with the others who are more goody two-shoes type. he has an extensive understanding of the human psyche and doesn't need you to explain yourself; he just gets you.

he finds your dream log fascinating, and also respects that you don't fear nightmares. often times the two of you might get together for tea and discuss the meanings, having actual conversations instead of just "how are you" "good" and letting it die there.

vyn is an academic and would welcome debate with you. instead of getting hostile or making it seem like fighting, the debates would be properly intellectual. he would quietly try to motivate you as well, perhaps baking your favourite treat, and being cruel enough to withhold them until you get something done. in turn, he needs to you balance out his seriousness, introducing him to new standards of life he dismissed earlier.

my bnha quirk-science head canon/theory

every time i think of the word “quirkless” i always think of biology. and this post is going to show you WHY i think this! 

so we all know that Izuku is quirkless at the start of the show. he gets really upset about it, which sends his mother into a “depressive” state for a while. i wanna put it like this: His father’s quirk is fire breathing and his mother’s is attraction of small objects (unofficial name). i feel like when the two quirks ‘clashed’ during the gene pool, they awakened a recessive trait, the quirkless trait. for this to happen, both parents would have to be Heterozygous in order for the recessive trait to be around. so theres that.

Now for the FUN part. THE TODOROKI FAM !!!

i included a photo to help describe this-

We know that Touya is strictly a fire quirk, and Shouto is both fire and ice. knowing the “dabi is a todoroki” theories will DEF help you here. I did some research and found that Natsuo, the 2nd eldest brother, doesn't have a quirk listed in his bio on the official wikia. could he be quirkless? WHO KNOWS! (Same goes for Fuyumi) but i know there are some flaws with this image, but here me out. for Touya/Dabi to be strictly fire, he would need to be a homozygous dominat trait. for shoutouts to be BOTH, he would need to be a homozygous recessive trait. If my stuff is correct, both Natsuo and Fuyumi are the heterozygous traits. I know I put that the ‘quirkless’ trait would most likely have to be a dominat trait within this family. the fire quirk is the homozygous dominate, ice is heterozygous.

i put Natsuo as the “Re” genotype because it fit my ‘theory’ if i said the ice quirk was heterozygous, he would need a dominant ‘R’ and recessive ‘r’. but in his case, he has the dominant ‘R’, but a recessive ‘e’, making him in the ‘quirkless’ genotype. its the complete opposite for Fuyumi, however. she has the Dominant ‘E’, but a recessive ‘r’, which could either mean she has a fire quirk, or ice quirk; we don't know. or she could, too, be quirkless! (i hope my science talk is understandable-)

NOW MORE FUN!! so we know that Ochaco has the zero gravity quirk, which without so much detail, it was passed down (much like the todoroki pungent square action above^^). we see in the entrance exam, that when she gets trapped, and izuku saves the day. we see that she helps ease him on the ground using her quirk. but after recovery girl ‘fixes’ him, we see Ochaco throwing up. 

this got me thinking, maybe that because she's throwing up, could mean that she might be lacking a certain enzyme within the quirk trait/gene and when she uses too much of her quirk, she feels sick. its her body’s way of telling her, that she's using too much than what she can produce of- hmmmm.

the same concept, i put with Aoyama as well. he too gets sick when using her naval laser for long periods of times; he, too, might be lacking the same, or similar type of enzyme to ochaco.

Tenya Iida. a very fun topic to bring up. we know he's got an engine quirk; runs in his family (pun intended). he brings out a ‘new’ move during the sports festival called “recipro burst” which makes him go super fast for a short period f time; but also has a cooling time. i find this interesting because much like to aiyana and chaco, he has an enzyme issue or something. it seems to me that he may be using his enzyme faster than what he can produce, which is why he has a cool down time on when he can reuse his recipro burst.

here comes the villain talks. yes you heard me.

overhaul. aka chisaki kai. we know that his villain name, is also the name of his quirk. after reading up on his quirk, he is able to disassemble and reassemble things as he touches. we also know that he believes quirks are a disgrace, and a disease amongst everyone. I have a feeling that his parents had 2 quirks that went against each other, but when produced, created a genetic mutation and created the ‘overhaul’ quirk. (say one parent’s quirk was able to create things, while the other parent had a quirk that destroyed things...) i also believe that the reason why he wants to world to be ‘cured’ of all quirks, is because he knows mutations occur, and that being quirkless was much more safer than risking consequences of dying from your quirk. idk. he's great fr.

shigaraki tomura. crust boi. his quirk manifested only because of a similar genetic mutation just like chisaki. but both parents had to have 2 similar quirks, that just made his disintegrate quirk. (one may have had a destroying quirk, while the other had a crushing one..idk) but his past just scared him or something and he thought his quirk was something really bad and didn't know mutations could occur. 

y'all. i absolutely adore this and I'm so sorry is so long but it had to be done. please enjoy this! and if you want to correct me, by all means, add it!! I'm open to hear what you guys think!!!

[greaterblogston]

I don't know y'all. This one was hard. And I'm not sure I really did that great of a job. But honestly, that's probably true of the last couple of these, so oh well.

I'll give brief explanations below, sometimes int he form of lyrics, sometimes in the form of cryptic nonsense. If you have questions, feel free to ask. Lyrics are italicized.  

A lot of these songs are dance-punk or new age punk bands that sound kinda dance-y (Devo, Gang of Four). I like the idea that Leon liked things with specific and predictable rhythms to them, so that kind of music made sense. And then this narrative presented itself throughout the playlist - dancing became synonymous for...well, living. Do you decide to dance, even if dancing is draining? Life can be draining too. You don't have to dance to be alive, but if dancing makes you feel alive, then please keep dancing.

Track listing after the break.

1. Stroke it Noel - Big Star Do you wanna dance? Easy, now!

2. Everything In Its Right Place - Radiohead A thesis song for Leon. Order that slowly slips into musical chaos, becomes somewhat orderly again. But is still messy. Everything can be in its right place, but for how long?

3. Natural's Not In It - Gang of Four The orderly, sharp rhythm and beat, and list-like lyrics remind me of Leon. as do lines like "this heaven gives me migraine."

4. [I Can't Get No] Satisfaction - Devo For some reason I feel like Leon would like Devo, mostly because of how orderly and tight their songs feel, but this song also matches his MO a bit. Never the Rolling Stones. Leon would not be a Stones fan. God, no. But Devo's version? Yeah, he can get into that. He's never satisfied either. There's too much chaos in the world.

5. Dance Yrself Clean - LCD Soundsystem I imagine Leon confronting the worst parts of his personality in this song. Doing things that intentionally piss people off just because it's part of his nature. Like refusing to dance, even though he knows someone like Louisa loves it. Making these fussy plans and scheduling everything obsessively, even if he does do things to support others. In other words: Talking like a jerk / except you are an actual jerk / and living proof that sometimes friends are mean. / Present company expect it / Present company just laugh it off / it's better than it seems.

6. No Big Bang - Priests I get the exhilaration but when you look down and see the sheer stupidity of the roller coaster just staring you in the face as blank and inescapable as the slab of concrete below Just waiting to catch you, to crush you, your falling body, your skull All of the sudden all of the science and evolution and progress I mean sure, it looks good from a distance but when you're really inside of it you realize it's fucking terrifying

7. Dead - They Might Be Giants The quintessential song about realizing you're dead and maybe wishing you weren't.

8. Crystalized - The xx Yeah, bad pun. Leon is a crystal ball now, get it? But also a lovely little song about a complicated relationship, of which Leon has plenty.

9. Lost Coastlines - Okkervil River This is a song about two friends who are parting. The two singers were both in two different bands, Okkervil River, and Sheerwater, and one singer was leaving to focus on the other band full time. And there's just something so beautiful about these two guys duet on one song together for a final time, recognizing something was over, celebrating the time they had, what they created, celebrating each other. It's just a beautiful song and it kinda reminds me of Michael and Leon a little. There's distance there, but they will always be close.

10. Self Control - Frank Ocean Sometimes you'll miss it / the sound makes you cry Some nights you're dancing / with tears in your eye

11. Leave Me Alone - New Order From my head to my toes / From the words in the book I see a vision that would bring me luck / From my head to my toes / To my teeth, through my nose You get these words wrong You get these words wrong / Everytime You get these words wrong / I just smile

12. Retrograde - James Blake I feel like this is Leon at his loneliest. This is an incredibly lonely song. The lyrics don't really match much of what he's going through. Well, maybe the lines "You're on your own in a world you’ve grown," and "So show me where you fit."

13. I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)- The 1975 I bet you thought your life would change / but you're sat on a train again Your memories are sceneries for things you said / but never really meant. 14. Over and Over - Hot Chip Steady beat. You can dance to it. But does Leon want to? I love that it's about repetition. Something Leon appreciates for its predictability. I like the veiled threat of lines like, "Laid back, I'll give you laid back." Leon is not going to give you laid back.

15. Pieces of the People We Love - The Rapture Cause everybody's got a little piece of someone they hide It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day we die

16. Heartbeats - The Knife Look I don't have a good reason for this to be here other than I want it to be and feel like it should be. Think of it as Leon saying goodbye to Michael in a way. I don't know. Or Leon as a guiding higher power for Michael, but also accepting that Michael needs to grow on his own. Sure. That's the ticket.

17. Unforgettable Season - Cut Copy You sent an SOS away / Reach across the sky Through glowing windows we stare / But not at home

18. Subways - The Avalanches 19. Going Home - The Avalanches These are just fun danceable mixtape music about riding the Subway so I felt, "How can I not include them on a Greater Boston playlist with dance music on it?"

20. Bodys - Car Seat Headrest This is my favorite song of the year. I could have died this year. I had a pretty bad health scare. And lines like, "Do you realize our bodies could fall apart at any second?" hit home harder than they did earlier in the year. Ultimately this song is about letting go out your personal anxieties and deciding to live, deciding to ask someone to dance, deciding to embrace life while you can. I think it's appropriate for Leon. I think it's appropriate for all of us. But it's especially appropriate for me right now. So, "those are you got some nice shoulders. I'd like to put my hands around them."

21. ...While You're Alive - Jeff Rosenstock & 22. Perfect Sound Whatever - Jeff Rosenstock Possibly weird choices, but "when you're a ghost they'll sit around and talk about why they love you the most," make it a must to include. And it's another song that's about telling people why they matter to you while they have the time.

The second song is about acknowledging that chaos is inevitable. There is no perfection. A good lesson for Leon and all his planning. "Perfect always takes so long because it doesn't exist." There is no perfect sound. It doesn't exist. Then again, if it were to exist, a room full of people cheerily chanting, "It doesn't exist!" at the top of their lungs might be it.

23. Let's Dance - Spiritualized The hour is getting late They're putting all our dreams away Lord have mercy on all of our thoughts today I should get away But I would rather stay and dance C'mon darling let's dance.

Bionn Halthcharon’s School’s Out Journal

This. This is best journal so far. This is when i finally nailed down his character. yes he is a rude boy but there’s way more to him than most people think. and he writes like he talks, natch for MH doll logs. Also the lil journal taglines gonna be above the read more

Readin' this without my permission just shorts my circuits!

September 16th

My motherboard's gonna kill me. I'm serious. How am I gonna explain to her that the slip I'm bringin' home is because I panicked and weaponed up 'cause someone tapped me on the shoulder. I didn't know who it was at first and honestly it's a reflex. Ya see, back when I lived and protected Motor City, you didn't know who was gonna ambush ya. And yeah, I apologized and we're totally cool now, I guess, but Momboard's not gonna care about that. She's just gonna dwell on the fact that I came home with a warnin' slip and no matter how many times I tell her that it's under the rug now, she won't listen. She'll just yell at me until I storm off or if she gets tired of shoutin' at me (which I doubt she will. Momboard's scary.).

I can just imagine it now. I don't wanna put up with that today. Maybe I'll just throw the slip away during lunch or hide it. But then again, it needs to be brought back with her signature. This is a problem.

September 23rd 

Man, I can't wait until the last day of school gets here. It means I'll (hopefully) be seeing less of Heath Burns. Don't get me wrong, he's okay I guess... but he's just not the type of manster I'd normally hang out with. He's just got somethin' about him that always seems to irritate me. Seriously. He doesn't even have to speak to do it. All he has to do is walk next to me and suddenly I get this look on my face. Like somethin' smells bad. And he's always trying to invite me to go with him and his friends for some "bro time", whatever that is. I haven't exactly grasped slang yet. Well slang that normal teens use. 

Sure his friends are nice and all even if I've only talked to 'em a couple times but it's Heath I can't stand. I don't know why. And I bet on the walk to the lockers after Home Ick he's gonna ask me to hang out with him. This is gonna be a long day.

September 25th

Dad wasn't home when I woke up. I guess he went to the die-ner. He's been goin' to that die-ner every Saturday morning since we've moved here. And I had to know what kind of secrets that place was holdin' because why would my dad go there every Saturday? So I left a note on the table and went down to the die-ner. It was pretty early in the morning, so there weren't a lot of monsters out. I made my way down to the die-ner and I was feeling pretty tense. I'm not sure why. But instead of findin' some weird secret, I found Dad and a bunch of mad scientists talkin' and eatin'...pancakes?

I know my Dad's kind of well.... kind of a nerd but I really wasn't expectin' this. So I turned to leave before one of his friends (I think) said "Hey Grave, isn't that your kid?". Boy, did that make me stop in my tracks. I never felt so mortalfied. I was pretty sure I was rustin' where I stood. And Dad noticed it. Ooh boy did I wanna go offline so badly. But he invited me over and had me sit with him and his friends. Dad's friends are actually pretty nice and super funny.But it's still super weird since I didn't even know Dad could act like a regular monster. And I say that because well... he's Dad. Normal ain't somethin' that runs in the family.

And we ate somethin' called "banana scary pancakes". That's the first time I've had them and I've gotta say, they ain't half bad. And someone from school was there. What was her name again? Frankie? Anyways, she must've been with her dad too. I didn't talk to her much but she seems like a decent ghoul. Dad seems to respect her dad. And they were talkin' about the plans they drew up when it came to buildin' us, which was super embarrassin'. But ya know...

It's strangely comfortin' to know that I'm not the only person that was built in a lab.

October 1st 

Jeez, I'm starting to come down with a bad rustin' problem. You forget to oil your joints and it comes back and kicks you in the behind. I really hope no one notices... Shelley's been trailin' behind me in between classes. I know it's her anxiety and that's fine, but I know she's concerned about me. It's a really bad problem right now since I'm movin' soooo sloowly... no offense to zombies, they're nice monsters, and now I know how they feel when they go from place to place. I can't count how many times I got shoved around in the hallway on the way to Biteology. Oh wait, yes I can. 22. 22 times! I mean, it took a while to get get there but at least Heath kept a seat warm for me. Oh great... his fire puns are startin' to rub off on me...

He spent pretty much all of class talkin' to me and I just muttered responses. I wasn't in the best mood and I'm pretty sure he caught onto that. I mean I don't mean to be a jerk to the guy, it's just that you'd be in a bad mood too if you were rustin' over. And after a very long time (or it felt like that) Biteology always drains my battery and havin' to slowly walk to my locker wasn't helpin' things. I would have teleported there but that module rusted over. Shelley was still in class and I was just gonna hafta grin and bear it. But then I just heard someone say "Need help?". So I turned around as fast as I could (which wasn't very fast, again rust. Ugh.) and there's the ghoul from the die-ner.

Normally I'd turn that down because I'm super prideful but in this case, I needed the help. "Hey I saw you at the die-ner the other day! Your dad's friends with mine?". I would've shrugged. "Yeah I guess.". "You're Bionn right?", she asked. I nodded. "And you're Frankie? ...Uhhh... did I get that right?", I asked. She nodded. Things were quiet for a while before she spoke up. "Uh so, how do you like Monster High? Since it's your first year here and all.". "Oh uh... it's great here! Yeah." I ain't the best at talkin' to other monsters. It kinda sucks, pun unintended. She smiled and said it was good. We continued to walk until I saw Heath, putting his book away.. "Hey, there's my locker!". We stopped. Frankie waved. "Hey Heath!". He turned around and well, he flamed up. I rolled my eyes. Honestly, it's kinda sad. I can't tell ya how many times he's done that whenever a ghoul walked past us. And all the times he's set my books and homework on fire.

So while he was chattin' up a storm with her, I just grabbed what I needed to grab out of my locker and go. Though I did let him know he was gettin' out of hand on the way out. Good thing my elbow joints hadn't rusted yet. Can't really claim I elbowed him gently though.

October 7th 

There's been this talk goin' around school about a huge fight between a couple of monsters named Clawd and Spectra. From what I can figure out there was somethin' about a rumor about this Cleo ghoul breakin' up with her boyfriend and Clawd gettin' together with her. I dunno, it sounds kinda stupid, ya know? Maybe it's because I don't get it. Shelley thinks it's dumb too. And people have been talkin' about it all day, not to mention it got super bad during lunch. Like I couldn't eat anything because that's all they could talk about and it was hard-drivin' me up the wall. I wish I could turn my hearin' off at times like this. Don't ruin lunch like that y'all. Just don't.

And ‘sides, why would you believe somethin’ ya read on the Internet?! It's called a rumor for a reason! It ain't that hard to analyze the story! Oh riiiigghhttt, I forgot, the whole teenager thing. Heh heh... whoops. But ya know, he more I think about, the more I can't help but be I dunno the word here... curious? Yeah. Oh, what am I sayin'?! I shouldn’t be focusin’ on this! But at the same time, I just wanna know what's goin' on, ya know?

October 13th 

Eeugh, there's nothin' I hate more than bumpin' into Circutroy. Well, that's ain’t true. I hate a lot of other things but runnin' into my cousin is really high up there. It's pretty much the same thing with him. "You're outdated.", "Did you stop to recharge on the way here? You know how faulty batteries get get when they start to age.". “Blah blah perfect blah blah.” I swear, with how much of a jerk he is, he could give that Tora-somethin' ghoul a run for her money. Or milk I guess 'cause she a werecat 'n all. Though I ain’t much better myself. But at least I don't go around insultin' other monsters for not some stupid standard tripe.

I don't wanna talk to that lousy battery muncher ever again. 

October 16th 

Oh man, I can't tell if this is one of the best days I've had or the worst. Okay so lemme start off by sayin' Mad Science was cancelled today. All thanks to Heath. Basically we got some lab tech that was gift of a former student who's now a famous mad scientist. It was huge and kinda box-shaped and painted black except for a really shiny metal button about half way up on one of its sides. And just when the showcase was gonna start, ol' Hackington got called to the office. Why? Dunno, wish I could tell ya. Anyways before he left, he said “All right me little Pandoras – nobody touch the box while I’m gone.” And of course, the second he was gone, you-know-who had already blazed a trail to the box thing. At the time I just facepalmed because Heath + ANYTHING = disaster. I was waitin' for that snake-headed guy to turn him to stone or somethin'. (I think his name's Deuce. Or was it Domino? I don't know.) Or for someone to stop Heath before he made a fool outta himself.

Yeah, turns out no one wanted to do anything. We were just gonna let him fool around with a fancy box thing. What- what even is unlife? "Uh hey, you shouldn't be messin' with that.", I said, even though it wasn't gonna stop him at all. "Relax! I'm just checking it out!", he responded. And I facepalmed. Again. Anyways, the hothead was insistin' nothin' was gonna happen and he pushed the button. The box thing made like this whistle noise. It was high-pitched and annoyin'. Still, it caught him off guard and he stopped fiddlin' with the thing. I'm pretty sure everyone stopped holdin' their breath too. Er, anyone who could breathe anyway. Heath thought it must've been funny or somethin'. 'Course he'd find that funny. And then, HE WALKED BACK OVER TO THE BOX AND LEANED AGAINST IT. I just- I just... I'm pretty sure my processor stopped functionin' at that point in time. I'm also pretty sure I went through like, 5 stages of disbelief even though only one stage exists. That's how bad it was.

"See? I told you nothing was going to hap-" and that's all he could say before the box thing sprouted tentacles and ate him. At least, I think it ate him. I wasn't payin' that much attention. And there were like, the sounds of splashin' and somethin' bangin' against the box and Heath was yellin' for help. A second after, Hackington had come back and figured out what went down when he was outta the room. Thank goth that thing came with a remote because the second that thing was pointed at the box, Heath came flyin' outta it covered in gunk. I'm not gonna lie, I was havin' a really hard time tryin' not to laugh the entire time. Yeah I know, it's mean. But my family kinda spreads chaos and probably like it. It's not like I can help it, it's kinda in my codin'. Anyways we had to leave after that. Headless Honcho Bloodgood let us know that, yeah, he's fine. He's just gonna need a few days off. I mean, I kinda feel bad for him, but not that much.

I'm just glad me and my locker can get some goth-danged peace for once!

October 23rd 

Man this day started off bad and ended up worse. Like this day was just bad. And not normal bad, Friday the 13th bad.

It all started earlier this morning when Pat-ick was havin' a fit over somethin', erggh. And thanks to his wailin' fit, he ended up turnin' one of Dad's projects into a fish creature.... thing... A fish creature that ended up eatin' my brand new gamin' console. So I now I gotta scrape up the money for it again. And the fish thing ended up latched onto my head somehow. I was so angry this mornin' I didn't even notice I had it on my head until I got to school, where a few monsters pointed it out. And laughed at me. And made fun of me for the entire day even when I got the thing off my head. Ugh...

Just to get away from the mockin' I hid out in the Gym. Should I have done that? No. No I shouldn't've. But I was gettin' really annoyed and I didn't wanna come home with another paper from the Headless Honcho cause I got into a fight. And I guess I must've zoned out or somethin' because the next thing I knew, the casketball team was in the Gym practicin' for somethin' comin' up. I dunno what for nor do I care all that much. Anyways, I go to leave the Gym and it turns out I was stressed out enough to get the bleachers on the ceilin'. Thank goth I teleported 'em back to the right spot before they hit the ground. I start to leave again and somethin' hits my foot. It's the casketball thing. I grab it and turn around to see the team's just starin' at me, waitin'.

"Hey dude, could you pass me that?", the werewolf asks. I think his name's Clawd. I've never really talked to him and the only times I've seen him is around lunch in the halls. Still, my heart component jumps for joy when he calls me dude. It feels like I'm bein' recognized as a manster and not just some weird ghoul. I nodded and threw it back to him. A little too hard. Whoops. Still he catches it without tumblin' over (must be that werewolf strength I’ve heard ‘bout) and tells me I've got one heck of a pass. Whatever that means. I think it's a sports thing. Anyways, the werewolf tells me that I should try out for the casketball team and that tryouts are gonna happen soon. Sports ain't really my thing. I've never played any but watchin' 'em just bores me, ya know? But I decide to be nice to him and tell him I might tryout sometime that before turnin' to leave. "Hey, you should grab lunch with us sometime! We can show you the ropes and stuff.", he suggests. "You know, just hanging with the guys?" I smile and tell him I might just take him up on that. The werewolf guy smiles back and says "Alright man, catch you later!" before they start practicin' again.

The day wasn't too bad after all, I guess. How could it be one I'm startin' to become one of the mansters?
