And They Were Battle Buddies- an excerpt.
"Mother hen. This is Bluejay and Robin," Arcadia said into the radio.
Static crackled on the other end, a voice came out, but it wasn't Kenzie's. "Who the hell made you Robin?"
"It's the state bird. You're from Texas," Arcadia said back.
"Shit." Said Johnny from the other line. "Does that make me a cardinal?"
Kenzie's voice finally came in. "And that's why I told you four to pick code names before going out into the field."
Arcadia turned muted the radio and handed it to Matt.
"Thank you for covering for me," He whispered.
"Wasn't that hard," Arcadia shrugged. "We agreed on animals with wings, you like the color blue." Arcadia laughed softly.
"What?" Matt asked.
"Johnny picked Cardinal because of a sports team."
Matt laughed softly. "I knew he would."

*Matt and Kenzie analysing how Arcadia actually made it to another meeting on time via watching security footage*
Kenzie: She is going like four times the speed limit.
Matt: Yes but notice the precision in her drifting skills...
Kenzie: yes, her brakes haven't been worked on.
Matt: But she bought new pads and rotors last week!
Kenzie: she also finished reading one book, made at least 5 new bracelets, and worked on another paper.
Matt: you know Arcadia, every time you see her wearing new jewelry there's at least three more pieces she made that she doesn't wear herself.

Arcadia: *sneaks into the orchestra room, dead of night, starts playing a piece of sheet music on the marimba*
*beautiful cello music*
*marimba music stops*
Arcadia:.... *whispering* shit.
*cello music stops*
Arcadia: MILLER! THAT BETTER BE YOU, OR SOME SERIAL KILLER IS ABOUT TO GET A MALLET THROUGH THE FUCKING EYEBALL!
Matt from a practice room: OH THANK GOD IT'S YOU! I was praying it wasn't some serial killer with a weird love for your favorite American composer.

Arcadia: Do not get me wrong, when they showed up in thier dresses and the most gorgeous collection of elaborate church hats I have ever seen, genuinely, chef's kiss.
However, to avoid repeating the *ahem* incident, where I showed up in a Hawaiian shirt and the nicest pair of black skinny jeans that I own. We should move from telling people to attend in thier Sunday Best attire to Concert Black.
Matt: Shame, honestly. I thought you looked good in that shirt.
Arcadia: Just wait until you see me in concert black.
Viola to Kiki: *whispering* I told you, we should have just told her to dress like she's performing in concert and not going to church.
Arcadia to Viola: *loudly whispering* It's okay, we can laugh about it now.
Yarjek: I vote we keep it as Sunday Best so I can wear Hawaiian shirts to formal parties.

Matt: You did not teach my son how to throw a football, without me?!?
Arcadia: Between you, me, the girls, Kenzie, and Johnny I might be the only one of us in this room right now who can throw a proper football with a decent spiral. Teach him rugby.
Johnny: Bullshit! I can throw a football!
Arcadia: *leaves*
Viola: oooh! Johnny's boutta prove himself!
Arcadia: *comes back with a miniature football* Hut Hut!
Kenzie: Hike!
Arcadia: *throws the football and hits Johnny in the face* .... Seriously, you should have been able to catch that.
Johnny: Y know what-
Arcadia: Throw it back! Throw it back!
Johnny: *Haphazardly whips the football in Arcadia and Matt's general direction*
Matt: *steps in front of Arcadia and catches the football* Ha-Ha! Loser!
Arcadia: You tall ass mother fu- *laughing*

I haven’t seen any posts about this! But, thanks to the Internet Archive lawsuit, half a million books have been removed from their library. They are calling for people to share their experiences to help them regain access to these books, so please considering sending something in!
6/17/2024 edit: They’re also requesting that people sign an open letter asking the publishers to restore access, so please consider doing that too!

I like you. Hit me up if you ever need some punk with a baseball bat, a pipe bomb, and half a bad idea to take a gambling den out of your favorite church.
I just heard today about Alexander Hamilton's argument for the fundamental selfishness of humans as a means to establish the greater institutional powers the Federalist Papers proposed to change the Confederacy to the United States. When I was in high school, I was like, "Yeah. People be like that, I guess." Now that I'm pursuing my degree in psychology, minoring in political science, I'm just thinking...holy shit, that's great coming from a privileged land- and slave-owning white man riding the collective high of his new country being established over higher taxes following a war, then starting a new one. Selfishness describes the Founding Fathers more accurately than the people they governed. Education was kept out of the hands of the underprivileged, who were expected to be an obedient underclass of workers from its inception.
Selfishness is born from survival instincts. Selflessness is born from an understanding you reach about your relation to the world around you and other people when you are effectively educated and socialized.
Americans have been told they were shit from the very beginning by shitty politicians, and we continue to find ways to assert that we are not. That our voices must be heard. That our underserved and desperate are kept so by the minority rule of a rich and powerful elite that thrives on the belief that we are fundamentally incapable of governing ourselves.
Fuck that. We deserve better.

Arcadia, venting to Kenzie: ...but that's beef Misha can have with me because of the whole Zelenski situation. Like, I choose to focus on domestic issues; is that genuinely a fucking problem?
Castiel: ... No. Why would you think that?
Arcadia: *laughs and hops around excitedly* MISHA!!!! *Hugs the universe's favorite trench coated angel*

Johnny: alright nerds, tell me the digits of PI or whatever.
Kenzie and Matt: 3.14159....
Arcadia: *gets up and leaves*
*returns with a pecan pie*
Arcadia *ah la smartass*: Eight. Everybody here gets two slices. Yeah, it's up to FDA standards, so you won't find a human toe inside, but that's only because basic food standards in the USA haven't been updated since The Jungle was published in 1906.
Johnny: What if I don't like Pecan?
Arcadia: Would you prefer Raspberry?

Arcadia's most Iconic Quotes
1) I'm not the type of guy who starts shit, I'm the type of guy who survives shit.
2) You remind me of that one fuckhead who dated one of my exes from high school. That's not a compliment; that fuckhead tried to get me kicked out of the band program.
3) Hold on a second; I found a community garden with fresh vegetables that need harvesting.
