Fictober Day 1

We are in an area loaded with rivers, so my parents would have had their pick of:

Menomonee, Kinnickinnick, Milwaukee, or the tributaries Honey or Root. I'd go with Root, personally.

The other day I learned on Twitter about a girl that was nearlly named after the river on her town. So, reblog with what your name would be if it was based on the river on your town (or the closest river)

Slowly making my way through Forgotten Stories and reliving this truth!

Prophet:  Well, I’ll just... over here... something...

Let’s talk about some serious business Does anyone love Jespar’s and Constantine’s bromance as much as I do? Nope, seriously, their dialogs are HILARIOUS. And on the quest with the living temple this two just ignore the Prophet all the way and this FLIRTING and CHEMISTRY between them

I’M SORRY PROPHETESS NO CHANCES FOR YOU HERE And I was like “wtf guys? get a room maybe”  Couldn’t resist on drawing the moment 

Follow your heart, paths to doors unimagined

I AM ABSOLUTELY LOSING MY MIND AFTER READING THIS PLEASE READ IT

So cool! An online alternative that gives back! Love the "boredom busters" section.

To my dismay, the nearest bookshop to my major metropolitan area is over 67 miles away?! Oh, the misplaced priorities!

Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

Wow! Eye-opener! Honestly, I never understood why people don't do this...It seems so logical to me.

I no longer struggle with math, though...once you realize it's just a language that describes the world around us, the veil is lifted and tossed to the wind.

finding out people dont usually add numbers by first adding something to make a ten (for example 7+6= 7 plus 3 is 10 plus another 3 is 13) & that its actually an adhd thing is the WILDEST shit literally ive lived like 10 years (or however old i was when i learned to add and stuff) thinking thats how everyone does it. what the fuck

Sunshine...Why tho?

Or is it "Why tho, Sunshine?"

Seasonal Depression, tag urself.

That’s what spotted me!

First Flight

Fictober19:  Day 1 Prompt:  “It will be fun, trust me.” Fandom:  Enderal Warnings:  Language

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He didn't like being outside -- too... exposed.  And these eyes were still too sensitized to the dark; they burned and watered in the daylight.  The fingers dug harshly into the fur as he sat astride the great beast; soft... annoying.  Every muscle, from above the squinted eyes down to the toes, was tensed beyond his ability to release.

"It will be fun," she had said, "trust me."  She was a fucking idiot.  He was a fucking idiot for agreeing to partake in such madness, but they had a job to do and this was the fastest way to get from point A to point B.

 With each beat of its wings, the beast's body undulated sickeningly.  If he vomited, she would wear it; he'd make sure of that.

 "Wooo-hooooo!" she screamed into the wind.  Her muscles were relaxed, with her arms extended euphorically into the air.  She wasn't even holding on!  What in hells was wrong with her?!

 When they finally landed... more gently than he'd expected... he pried the stiff fingers from the soft fur -- still annoying -- and climbed off the great beast.

 "Wasn't that amazing?!" she exclaimed.  She was flushed with exhilaration.  He was certain he was paler than usual.

 Still, her exuberance had a way of affecting him.  Maybe, he considered, while trying to maintain a scowl at her, if the next flight was at night...

So chill....
