I wonder what a study like that would actually find. There’s a lot of difference within those groups. Like what age the people in question are, how old the computers were at the time, the quality of education they received, access to technology at home, which may have been the same or different, whether the school is homogeneously one OS or a heterogeneous mixture of OSes, what they’re doing on the computers, how locked down they are, how well their teachers know that particular OS, whether they are given free time to explore the computers vs just given lab time to type up an essay and that’s it, what age they are introduced to computers, do they stay in one school district and is that district consistent in the OS used across schools and over time, what language is the OS in versus their native language?

My mom's laptop is old and can't run Windows 11.

I ran a few DEs past her and KDE Plasma passed the vibe check if that helps.

(Joke poll aside, this is somewhat of a genuine question. A lot of the beginner-friendly distros I can think of off the top of my head don't have KDE as an option. [I'll admit the only beginner-friendly distro I really know is Linux Mint, but a lot of the other ones I've heard of don't have KDE either. {Elementary OS, PopOS, etc.} She also outright said no to Cinnamon.])

Maybe OpenSUSE Slowroll? Debian stable?

She doesn't actually use her laptop that often so I don't think the actual distro will matter that much. She certainly doesn't care about the latest features.

But as an OpenSUSE Tumbleweed enjoyer, I know that libzypp doesn't (didn't?) play nicely with Discover for some updates. It'd probably be fine with any more traditionally package managed distro though.

But Debian Bookworm doesn't have KDE 6...

Even still, I'll probably just go with Debian stable unless any of you have a better idea.

Some specs below the cut if it matters to y'all

The laptop is a Dell XPS L702X

It has a 2 core 4 thread Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz

It has 8 GiB of fully replaceable ram. (4 DDR3 SODIMMs. 2 Currently populated) (We are considering upgrading it.)

It has a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 550M

But the cpu also has an iGPU. It doesn't identify itself as anything in particular.

For wifi, it has an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 (Since it's Intel I don't think it'll be an issue, but ya never know. It didn't work in Clonezilla, but that might not even consider WiFi.)

It has a 500 GB SSD and a 500 GB hard drive. Both are supposedly healthy according to SMART.

I've already cloned everything with Clonezilla. (All the specs except the wifi are from the Clonezilla image.)

I don't think these specs matter too much. Windows 10 runs... fine. (I don't think the Nvidia drivers are even installed?) I can't imagine any particular Linux distro will run any worse. It's mostly needed for taxes and stuff anyway.

(As I was checking what the wifi card was, windows gave an ad notification for Flight Sim 2024. I don't think this laptop could even install it. Staying on Windows 10 isn't really an option.)

I installed elementary OS 8 on my 2011 MacBook Pro after no longer wanting Zorin OS on it, and now that I’m experiencing it (and the community surrounding it), I’m realizing that I would rather put my dick in a meat grinder than be remotely associated with this operating system.

And after hours of downloading, troubleshooting, installing, and setting up, I’m just so tired. I’m ready to go back to macOS, full-time. I’ve put the latest macOS on this machine via OpenCore Legacy Patcher before. It’s a shame my days in Linux end like this. I’ve genuinely enjoyed it for the past few years, but I’m just so tired of the elitism, the division, the complications, the errors, the you-name-it. There’s always a problem.

Privacy isn’t worth this. I’d rather be in Apple’s back pocket than this, so ig that’s exactly what I’m going back to.

Just for fun because False gods was in the lead, here os a snippet from the False Gods. Beatrix's introduction. I think I want to publish all four but let's just start with this.

Tw: alcoholism, drug use, violence, inappropriate joke made by a drunk and high person

Nikki & Louis and Stevie version

Beatrix Jones life from birth to high school

Aurora Four’s lead singer, also known as a codename “Roseblood,” was born Beatrix Rhiannon Jones on August 6th, 1998, to Micky and Clara Jones in Los Angeles. Micky and Clara are most known as the leading attorneys of many publicly famous trials like the assault of popstar Lily Marsh, arson case of indie singer Vince December and the domestic violence case of Kurt Duncan and Sally Fay. Micky Jones himself is the son of Freddie Jones, the drummer for the Hectics.

Beatrix’s childhood is calm and full of privilege. She went mostly to private schools in LA, bought by the immense success of the then newly established law firm. All the bliss of company's success was shadowed by Freddie Jones’s chaotic 2000s. As the Hectics were coming to an end, Freddie’s alcoholism and drug use was becoming a problem.

All of it cultivated in Beatrix’s 8th birthday party. Witnesses described the birthday as “peaceful, till the grandfather appeared.” Freddie Jones was described as fully intoxicated, and not able to stand still. He was loud and obnoxious, and clearly in need of help. Worst happened when Micky Jones was giving a speech for his then 8-year-old daughter, which was documented as a viral video.

The clip starts with Micky Jones talking in a calming tone. He is wearing a black suit with a red tie, which looks too formal for a kid’s birthday party if you didn’t know how much Jones’s net worth. There are no kids around him, and food looks almost fancy, which didn’t fit for a children’s party. “I can still remember when we brought Beatrix from the hospital. Clara was exhausted and I- “

In that moment Freddie rushed into the mic and grabbed the mic into his both hands. Even when he was still, he was still moving around, like he was dodging mosquitos. Everyone could hear his deep breathing while he dodged his son. “Hello everyone. There are so many good people in this children’s party. None of them are kids. I shouldn’t see this many people I have fucked in a children’s party. I should have been more supportive of my son so he would allow his daughter to have a normal party that isn’t meant to suck off his supposed clients.”

Freddie was punched in the face by his son after that. The camera cuts when everything becomes chaos. People that were attending the birthday have told after what happened after the camera cut. Freddie Jones tried to punch his son back but failed and fell to the ground. Group of men ran towards the drunk man to tackle him. Carla was crying. As for Beatrix, many people noted that they were weirded out by Beatrix’s behaviour. She was laughing uncontrollably looking at her grandfather.

After that day, Micky publicly denounced his father and filed for a restraining order for three years. Freddie himself went on to have two years of deep alcoholism and drug use, until he found his fifth wife Lola Sylvestre, and moved to France for three years.

When Beatrix was in elementary and middle school, she was described as a clam and cordial little girl that enjoyed playing the violin and the piano. Beatrix has herself described the years as the “years of suppression” where she was forced to play classical music because her father had banned any type of other music in Jones household. That music would be an inspiration to the sound of Aurora Four later, so in the end, it got its use.

When Beatrix Jones is fourteen, Freddie Jones tries to contact his son after years of no contact. That phone call is actually answered by Beatrix herself, which starts a secret contact between the two musicians of the Jones family. Even with Micky’s constant objections, Beatrix and Freddie have a tight bond that lasts till she is sixteen, after Freddie’s sudden passing. That, is us getting a head of ourselves though.

O Combóio Apitou Três Vezes

EUA, 1952

Fred Zinnemann

8/10

Duelo ao Meio Dia

High Noon é um dos mais icónicos westerns do cinema norte americano. Em boa medida porque combina os elementos clássicos do western com o thriller psicológico, que começava a ganhar expressão nos anos 50, depois do film noir ter reinado na década anterior.

E um filme tenso, do princípio ao fim, onde o espectador, tal como o Marshall Kane e os restantes habitantes da cidade, esperam ansiosamente por um desfecho fatal, enquanto aguardam a chegada do comboio do meio dia, e vêem goradas as expetativas de Kane, em reunir apoios para enfrentar o bando do temível e vingativo Miller, que o aguarda, impaciente também, na estação.

Todos fogem ou se escondem, menos Kane e também, num último momento, a sua jovem mulher Amy, que acaba por desempenhar um papel essencial, no desfecho final do duelo.

Destaca-se um elenco de luxo, começando por Gary Cooper (já nos cinquentas, mas imponente no papel principal), Grace Kelly, Lloyd Bridges, a bela estrela mexicana Katy Jurado, até a futura vedeta de westerns spaghetti, Lee Van Cleef.

Uma história simples, elementar mesmo, mas a partir da qual se construiu um.mito cinematográfico.

No futuro, os heróis de Sergio Leone, como Clint Eastwood ou o próprio Van Cleef, não teriam dificuldades em desembaraçar-se de quatro foragidos, por muito bons pistoleiros que fossem. O mito já estava instalado. Clint Eastwood não é um Will Kane, que tem que enfrentar vilões reais, e sofrer na pele as consequências da sua valentia. É um autêntico super herói, que, com argúcia e uma pontaria infalível, dá conta de dezenas de adversários, sem sofrer um arranhão.

Em High Noon o medo é real, a tensão verdadeira, o perigo espreita a cada esquina e cada bala leva a morte consigo.

É o barro que fez os heróis do faroeste. Outros os usariam para construir o mito.

Duel at Noon

High Noon is one of the most iconic westerns in North American cinema. To a large extent because it combines the classic elements of the Western with the psychological thriller, which was beginning to gain expression in the 1950s, after film noir had reigned in the previous decade.

It is a tense film, from beginning to end, where the spectator, as well as Marshall Kane and the other residents of the city, anxiously wait for a fatal outcome, while waiting for the midday train to arrive, and see Kane's expectations dashed, in gathering support to face the fearsome and vengeful Miller's band, who awaits him, also impatiently, at the station.

Everyone runs away or hides, except Kane and also, at the last moment, his young wife Amy, who ends up playing an essential role, in the final outcome of the duel.

A stellar cast stands out, starting with Gary Cooper (already in his fifties, but imposing in the lead role), Grace Kelly, Lloyd Bridges, the beautiful Mexican star Katy Jurado, even the future spaghetti western star, Lee Van Cleef.

A simple story, even elementary, but from which a cinematic myth was built.

In the future, Sergio Leone's heroes, like Clint Eastwood or Van Cleef himself, would have no difficulty getting rid of four fugitives, no matter how good gunmen they were. The myth was already installed. Clint Eastwood is not Will Kane, who has to face real villains and suffer the consequences of his bravery. He is a true superhero, who, with cunning and infallible aim, takes on dozens of opponents, without suffering a scratch.

In High Noon the fear is real, the tension tremendous, danger lurks around every corner and every bullet takes death with it.

It's the clay that made the western heroes. Others would use them to build the myth.

*runs in circles* relationships relatipships relationships of MANY A variety :O

Family

* Lalonds and striders are cousins

* striders’ mom and one of the lalonds’ moms are sisters

* Dave and Rose call themselves ‘halfway-twins’— they were born on the same day, even around the same time, just to different moms obviously

* Everyone jokes that they are actually twins too, cos they CERTAINLY act like it lol

* Roxy and rose arent biologically related because their moms took turns carrying— they make up for their difference in appearance in how they act, though people sometimes question who’s the older sister (they both take care of each other <3333)

* Jake and jade are siblings <- harleys

* John and jane are siblings <- egburts

* They’re raised together as siblings, so they consider themselves siblings

* Until jake and jade’s mom pass away (widowed very soon after jade’s birth so no dad)— happens when theyre about 12 and 10 respectively

* Karkat and Kanaya are foster siblings- not related by blood, but they ended up together in the foster care system when they were both elementary aged, so they mostly grew up together. Karkat tries to be all protective of kanaya but it is in fact the other way around (older sister kayana so realll)

* Karkat and Kanaya are fostered by Maryam (Porrim)

* Maryam is Kanaya’s first cousin once removed and is also a registered foster parent, so they go to her like “ayo this kid is technically related to you” and shes like “cool”- kanaya js like “i am NOT going anywhere without Karkat >:(“ and Maryam is like “yeah im cool with two kids- plus dont wanna split up siblings”. Someone tries to go “they arent siblings-“ and she just half glares at them and goes “yes they are dipshit”

* Saying they get fostered by her (and eventually adopted) when theyre in around 8th grade)

Friends (moreso how they all met)

* Obviosuly everyone whos related knows each other

* John meets Dave first in elementary

* Like the next day john introduces Jade to Dave and Dave drags Rose over to sit with them

* One if them mentions an older sibling and they figure out theyre all in the same grade, so the younger siblings are like “yall should hang out!!”

* Thus how the strider-lalonds and the harley-egburts become friends

* Karkat and kanaya are out in a group home when end up going to their middle school

* Karkat has a class with jogn and kanaya has a class with rose

* After a while each person convinces the other to meet their other three friends- soiderman meme moment when karkat and kanayan realize it was THAT rose/john theyve been hearing about from the other

* Karkat and Kanaya know Terezi and Gamzee from past foster placements (Terezi in Louisiana close to the TX-LN border, Gamzee in florida)— they were the only like legit friends they made, so they have their emails (little fuckin 8 y/os with emails help thats so cute) and send letters (physical and digital) whenever they get the chance

* Evolves into texting when they get phones, then Terezi and Gamzee are like “there’s a discord were in with other friends if yall wanna join :O”

* All the human kids end up in the discord as well-

* Rose and roxy know Nepeta from a cat discord

* Jade knows Sollux because they go to the same school lmao

* Vriska terezi tavris and eridan know john jade dirk and rose from a ttrpg/runescape discord [roxy and jake are also both in it but have a more passive interest in ttrpgs]

* Jade know tavros and nepeta from an online community centered around the humane treatment of animals

* Gamzee and Dave argue about troll shit on redit

* Dave and Tavros have rap-off via instagram stories

* Karkat is a regular anon on one of Dave’s tumblr pages- mostly just yells at him

* Karkat is ALSO a regular anon of John’s tumblr page, argues with him about films

* [even FUNIER concidering karkat and kanaya KNOW ALL THE HUMAN KIDS BC THEY GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL LMAO]

* Dave and Terezi know each other from devianart and an ironic clip art forum on redit [bonus- some people at one point make fun if Terezi’s art since shes vission-impaired, Dave proceeds to tear the haters art carreers to SHREDS and is like “Terezi thjs is the most amazing and hilarious thing ive ever seen on this entire website it is a literal masterpiece”]

* Roxy is the first to meet the Cals and introduce them to everyone else

* Unrelated but the cals explaining they’re a binary system kind of jumpstarts Dirk’s “oh shit wait fluctuating identity and memory gaps ISNT normal? Huh.”

* Also Jane already knows Calliope from student council, and dirk already knows Caliborn from sssomething

Dating shtuffs :D [edit note: my dumbass didnt put this in quads even tho it was intended to b- in my defence we were crisis mode and brain was VERY muddle still have no clue who had the reigns at the time *faceplants*]

* Karkat has a crush on both Dave and the person he argues with on Tumblr, not realizing they’re the same person

* Karkat and dave start dating their sophomore year, close to the ‘present’ if the story - <3 obvsly :D

* Rose and kanaya OBVIOUSLY dating :3c - <3

* Rozy and Calliope QPR - <>

* Sollux and aradia dating - <3

* Gamz and karkat QPR - <>

* Vriska and Terezi QPR - <>

* Gamzee and tavros dating - <3

* Nepeta and Equius QPRq - <>

* Dirk and Jake are Dirk and Jake - this one actually isnt in quadrant- ill probably make a post to more indepth explain it but i have a very specific idea in my head for dirk and jake and i rlly like it and they literally just transcend any kind of lables *holds them gently* theyyyy

[everything that has an astric was written in fuckin notes app on my phone and i could not be fucked to fix it it gets the info across thats all i care about]

sollux and dave are <>

sollux and karkat are <3<

[i know in cannon karkat doesnt do the quadrants thing but this is my au i can do what i want /silly; no but actually though, all of karkats relationships are technically defigned by a quadrant, but its a loose technicality at best. i think in this au the quadrant thing was a thing they all made up for themselves- or at least a group of them and then it spread to their whole friend group- so no one questions any of the lables because its already a case of ''the ''standard'' sucks and makes no goddamn sense so we're going to lable ourselves the way that actually makes sense to us'' (this is as a neurodivergent person who genuinely understands homestuck quadrants better than it understands ''normal human romance''. i have strated thinking in terms of quadrants and it makes so much more sense to me. in my brain that would be like. every single one of the not-aromantic autistic/nd kids in this au. which is, admittedly, most of them-)]

Exs 0_0

* Vriska and Terezi tried dating [<3/<3<], didnt work, later realized they worked better as a QPR (once theyre older snd better educated)

* Vriska exs w eridan and kanaya as well

* Veiska Tried desprately to date Tavros but that dod NOT work out, chills out and apologizes later after some therapy

* Not quite exa but- Eridan and feferi used to be closer friends and eridan had a MASSIVE crush on fef, but she kinda widthdrawls when he admits this and their friendship kind of falls apart

[this might be incomplete butthis is also from three weeks ago so i have SOLIDLY lost my train of thought- if i think if anything else to add ill probably reblog this with the stuff i wanna add :D]

[howlingday]

About Jaune ships...

I have opinions. You may not agree, but they are mine. They may change in time, but not now.

LANCASTER ( RUBY X JAUNE )

The old tried and true. I mean, what's not to like? Cute girl falls for first guy she meets at Beacon? Classic romance trope, and after reading how much Ruby loves romance stories (I consider certain parts in the manga canon), it makes sense. In fact, after Arkos sank (A moment of silence, please . . . Thank you), many moved to Lancaster, which isn't bad. Happens all the time in fandoms. Sad thing, though, is far I think she'll last. If we're talking Volume 5 or earlier, then maybe. However, I feel if Ruby were to have an endgame in romance, it would be RoseGarden (I have opinions on that as well, but today isn't the day to discuss that), mostly because Oscar bumped Jaune's role from male lead to male side. Not to mention that while Jaune is becoming a beast in his own right, Ruby is a different creature altogether and evolving her character more rapidly and chaotically than anyone else (Must be all that screentime).

TLDR: I want it to be canon, but I might just be hoping.

WHITE KNIGHT ( WEISS X JAUNE)

Doofus in tin foil meets princess who hates daddy (Am I in the romance section of the library? You know, the corner for adults only?) No, but I do like this ship. I'm always a sucker for the fantasy genre, and using a zero to hero male makes it relatable. I also kind of ship it because the same reason I ship NaruSaku in the Naruto fandom: he likes her and he's willing to go the distance. But enough about that; instead let's talk about canon. Will they hook up? It's a soft maybe for me, for two reasons. 1. Rosegarden is most likely to be endgame, and after Ruby and Pyrrha, I'd say Weiss is Jaune's next to be his love interest. 2. Weiss has warmed up to Jaune. Sure, not lover or crush level (Yet), but she's definitely changed her opinion on him. In Volume 1, Jaune was bugging her, like all the time, which I could see as him getting mixed signals on (Exhibit A: Tall, blonde, and scraggly). When Volume 5 came around, everyone jumped onboard because he saved her life (Don't lie, because I'll admit that I did it, too). Not the best reason, but still reason enough, I'd say. Then in Volume 7, she hangs out with him and Oscar to the movies (It was either that or awkward Bumbleby all night. I feel ya, sister). Nothing romantic happens, but it does show how much their relationship has developed. If Weiss is Jaune's endgame, then they have set the pieces up perfectly to do so.

TLDR: High likelihood to be canon and I'm a sucker for Knight/Princess ships.

KNIGHTSHADE ( BLAKE X JAUNE)

This is the part where I say definitely not. Not in a million years, but I'll explain why I like the ship, though. As for why it won't work, the answer is Bumbleby. They haven't kissed yet, but you know they're going to eventually (Because if they don't, the fans will attack like a swarm of hornets). But here's the question you might be asking now: why do I ship this? Well, it's part of the allure of "opposites attract" ('Cause I'm dressed like a cat!). Blake is an intelligent, outspoken, and agile ninja with a criminal history of terrorism who spends her free time reading novels. Jaune is a B at best on his tests, soft-hearted, and ground-based knight who's worst crime is fraud (Still a crime, but peanuts compared to literal terrorism) and spends his free time hanging out with his team. Day and night. But they also tried that with Sun for a season and a half and it didn't last (BECAUSE BEES).

TLDR: Not even a snowball's chance in the summer sun, but so much story potential if you do (Which I do)!

DRAGONSLAYER ( YANG X JAUNE )

This, I would say, is the opposite of Knightshade, where Jaune is the day and Blake is night, here Yang is the Sun and Jaune is the Moon (Like their crests! Remember those? Y'know, when they were relevant?) Will it work? Even less so than Knightshade. However, it does open up some interesting paths considering how... provocative Yang can be, and Jaune, compared to the other guys, is the nerdiest, geekiest dude at Beacon. It's like the cheerleader/nerd romance, except the cheerleader is the captain of every sports team... and rides a motorcycle. The Volume 8 preview introduced us to Yang and Jaune riding motorcycles and we went nuts over it. Yang was back in her element, roaring down the street, riding on walls, popping off tricks with Oscar riding- Back to what I was saying, people were asking, "How did he know how to ride a motorcycle?" and the elementary answer is "He didn't." He almost fell off his bike from a small box in the road. True, anyone would, but look at how he reacts: he stiffens, he refocuses on the road. This kid literally started riding at breakfast, and I DARE you to prove me wrong. But hey, great fic material right there, though, eh?

TLDR: Never gonna happen, but I don't care. All I care about is writing that they love each other. And they also fu-!

ARKOS ( PYRRHA X JAUNE )

I'm sorry, I need a moment. . . . Alright. Do it for her. This ship... was perfect. Probably the best ship out them all. I legit almost cry every time I think about Volume 3. Pyrrha was everyone's favorite. Her background, her interactions, her choreography, everything! But, of course, like everything in our lives, she was too good to be true. But let's honor her memory by talking about her ship, Arkos. Pyrrha was the champion of the world, the Brothers' and Oums' gift to Remnant. She could do no wrong and she HATED it. Her plight was with how she was seen. Everybody knew her! Everybody, except Jaune. And he only figured out she was "a big deal" was because Weiss had to spell it out for him! As time went on, they became the best of friends, two peas in a pod, the perfect odd couple! They worked together and trusted each other, they cared for and supported each other, they lo- No. No, I can't say it. It's been years, and it still hurts. So, I'll explain something else: the reason why Jaune SHOULD NOT be shipped right now. That reason is Pyrrha. Jaune was helpless to save her. He's suffering from survivor's guilt and he's still grieving. In Volume 4, he would sneak away and train until late at night to scroll recording of her. In Volume 5, he confronted Cinder and got Weiss almost killed because he let his grief for Pyrrha take control of him and let his emotions run wild. In Volume 6, he finds the Pyrrha statue and he... I don't know how to say this, but he let's go. He accepts that Pyrrha is gone and he's starting the healing process. He's finally ready to move forward.

TLDR: T.T I never felt that it was wise to wish too much~

MARTIAL ARCS ( REN X JAUNE)

I'll be honest, I don't really ship it. Yeah, it's cute, and it falls perfectly into the "if I had to pick a guy" part of me, but to be honest, I don't ship it. 10% because Renora and 90% it just doesn't click with me. They both just seem too soft, too quiet, too introverted. Best friends? Yes, definitely! But lovers? Eeeeeh, not really.

TLDR: I will only ship as neccessary.

NORA'S ARC ( NORA X JAUNE )

I've only just got in this deep with the fandom only recently, so I don't know if a lot of you know me. Heck, I'm probably just some RWBY fan you happen to spot as you move through your dash. However, old or new, I want to be made absolutely positively clear on this. Of all the ships here, this has got to be my-

O T FUDGIN' P

Wow! Never thought I'd feel so strongly about a crack ship like this. And yes, as sad it is to say, this is a crack ship. Renora was planned from day one, so it can't be helped. At least it didn't blast me in the face all of the sudden (OH NO, NOT THE BEES! AAAAARGH! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!). But why this ship? Well, for one thing, it's that whole opposites attract thing with Nora as the bubbly, outspoken, airhead powerhouse and Jaune as the soft spoken, introverted, nerd tactician. But wait, there's more to this trope, because it can go deeper: Order VS Chaos! Who makes all the messes? Who cleans up those messes? Who follows all the rules? Who makes their own doors? It's just. So. Damn! GOOD! One sad thing about this ship though is that it's not only not canon because of Renora, it's anti-canon because Renora. Every fan fic of Nora's Arc requires an explanation for Ren and Nora to not be together-together, like you have to write a formal apology to the FNDM for liking something that's different from what is canon or commonly accepted. If that's the case, then I'll be the anarchist here!

TLDR: I LOVE IT! What's that? Not canon? Who gives a damn?! I just explained why Jaune won't be shipped anyways! Now, if you'll excuse, I have some fan fics to find.

ARCFALL ( CINDER X JAUNE )

Oh, here it goes! Now, if we're talking ships that'll never happen, this is where we find better reasons than "it's not canon" and "character development". No, this... This is a declaration of war. Allow me to explain. Cinder Fall is evil. Like, down to her core. She wants power and she'll cut through anyone to get to it. Including Pyrrha. This woman sank Arkos by means other than "X and Y kissed, so..." She killed X, leaving Y alone. And her interactions with Jaune tell me she wouldn't even be worth a hate-bang. But, as Momma always, there's a thin line between love and hate. This is where the appeal comes in. Cinder is evil with no past, which leaves the previous chapter's of her life story blank to be filled in. Jaune is good with a troublesome, albeit easy past, but untapped potential for more. It's another opposites attract, but different from INTRO VS EXTRO and CHAOS VS ORDER; this is GOOD VS EVIL. Who will win this battle of wills; will our hero purify the tainted heart, or will he slip deeper into darkness, never to return to the light?

TLDR: Should be a NOTP, and yet the allure pulls me in.

What do y'all think? Do you agree? Let me know!

You do not need to have the latest to have fun. 2009 Mac Pro, firmware flashed to 2010/2012 level, Elementary OS running with the two Xeon cpus (8 cores) and 16 gig of RAM. A d it is no way near maxed out. Did not spend a fortune on it either.

My peers in elementary school, Doing homework: Focus Focus Focus. Flashcards. Long division. Vocabulary homework.

My undiagnosed Adhd self doing homework in elementary school, tipping my chair foward onto 2 legs, screwing with the pulled out metal spiral of my notebook and twisting it into a ball: 🎵🎶Whoooooo Lives in a Pineapple Under the Sea?🎵🎶 Hey. Hey you. Yeah you, this homework is mega boring. Picking apart that eraser will be funner. Seriously just pick it all the way apart, the whole thing... Smaller pieces, smaller. The smaller the pieces are the better... *Super Mario theme song* Satisfying, right? Ooh don't let Mom see, look focused... Hhm🎵🎶Scooby Dooby-doo, where are you? We've got some work to do now🎶🎵 OKAY NOW Pick the scab off that mosquito bite you got. Nice. Ooh crap, you made it bleed. What the heck why'd you make it bleed??? 1-800-588-2300. EMPIRE!! Today. Case closed, Bring in the Dancing Lobsters.

Gray- What animal would you have as a pet if you could have any animal? 

Mauve- If you had to kill someone, what instrument (yes, as in the musical kind) would you use? 

Indigo- If you could be any height, how tall would you want to be and why? 

Mint- What color do you like to wear the most? 

Teal- What’s your least favorite colour? 

Red- If you had to be stuck in a room for a day with no way of escape, who would you want with you? 

Orange- What’s your favorite fruit? 

Gray- I think I'd want a cat maybe :0 there r so many animals but when I was little I really wanted a cat so I'll choose that!!

Mauve- u know those plastic recorders they had in elementary school and they tried to teach you how to play mary had a little lamb but it was just a bunch of 8 year olds blowing into a tube that makes a high pitched squeal if u don't use it properly? I'd use one of those

Indigo- I am terrible at knowing hight but like uuuh I like the height I'm at now which I think os like 4'something but i could be totally wrong. I just wanna be short enough to fit in the best hide and seek spots lol

Mint- I dont really get to choose what color my outfits are but I wear a lot of black and I have a cute yellow top though it makes me look really feminine :(

Teal- hmmm probably like dark yellowish green it just has bad vibes

Red- oooh this is a hard question, if it's only one person then probably mushi! But if I can have as many people as I want then Mushi, Goose, Ash, Laken, Bongos, Levi, Vivian, Nathan, and a bunch more of my friends cause if I'm gonna be stuck there all day I'm taking them down with me!!

Orange- myself I really like uuujh strawberries!!! They're so pretty n they taste delicious with whipped cream!!!

Omg i hope its okay if I gush... I had great teachers and I had sucky teachers, and one of the things that separated the good from the suck in elementary/middle school was reading to us. I specifically remember a history teacher in 4th grade (I was 8-9?) And an English teacher in 6th (10-11?) And they would read us silly things, serious things, all kinds of things. They also had bookshelves where you could check out their books. I didn't have a lot of money growing up and it changed my life. I was bullied pretty badly but those books were my everything.

YES it's okay if u gush!! That sounds amazing!! (the books not the bullying I'm so sorry that happened) I still cant imagine 11y/os being read to but I think thats just me. Ur teachers ran mini libraries thats so COOL!!!! Very happy that yall have that!!
