This... This is exactly what goes on in my mind whenever I eat a pomegranate

So I just looked at the date and saw that's its December 10 which means that your birthday was only a few days ago (I have it on my calendar plz don't freak out...) and like... I'M SORRY I MISSED IT! I usually come here every year (I've been following you for that long plz don't freak out) and I don't know what happened? 2020 cannot be over sooner! I hope you had a wonderful birthday and had a blast! Hope next year's better for you and everyone else! Bye - Anon who has been following you since forever aka FOA (i don't know if you remember me from that name?)

Wait wait wait!

FOA?

As in...

FREAKING OUT ANON?!

No! It can't be!

It's been ages! Of course I remember you! Last time I heard from you, you were still shipping me with a certain talented person (whose name starts with th and ends with ay) and I feel like that was a kajillion years ago!

How've you been my little freaking out friend?

Don't worry about missing my birthday. I didn't do much celebrating this year anyway. Too sick at the moment. But this made me really happy hearing from you again and it was the best birthday gift I could've asked for!

I hope you've been doing well :)

P. S. I would never freak out. That's your job ;)

I... I have not! As flattered as I am for my fic to be on there, but I can unashamedly count five other Supercorp fics that are much more explicit than mine!

PI. IS. ME. BARELY. SCRATCHING. THE. SURFACE. OF. UNLEASHING. EXPLICITNESS!

Hope you feel better soon. Drink Gatorade or fluids with electrolytes to keep yourself hydrate. Eat foods that are easy on the stomach as much as you can tolerate it.

If it’s the covid, lay in prone position as much as you can tolerate to help keep your airway open. And to ED if you can’t count to 10 in one breath at rest.

I'll keep all of those in mind, Anon. Thank you :)

Hi there. I read that you have a bad time. I just want you to know that you are so freaking awesome. Please, dont forget it. And drink a lot of tea. (PD: I know we dont know each other. Im a fan of everything you do and I just wanna help a little. Dont freak out pls)

Freak out?! Never!

Thank you for this message, it certainly put a little boost in me. I'm drinking as much tea as I can at the moment and hoping it'll help :)

Thank you for making my day :)

[justmickeyfornow]

Oh no im sorry mickey. Hope you feel better. Drink lots of liquids. Its probably the cold isnt it?

Liquids can only do so much, Anon. But thanks anyway. I'm sure it'll pass.

And no, it's not so much the cold. There's just something going around right now that's all.

[justmickeyfornow]

Hey Mick how's it going? We've missed you around here! Whatve you been upto?

I've been a bit under the weather, Anon. Will bounce back soon hopefully :)

The absolute only reason Lena would ever even CONSIDER taking a break!

How would Explorer!Lena know when it’s break time?

I'm already so committed to this...

Here’s a lil excerpt of the gay football comic I’ve been working on with my friend Adina the past few months. It’s called “For the Girls”!  It’s gonna be 10+ pages of cute jock flirts with equally cute art major shenanigans and I’m excited to share more soon!

May I ask how old are those kids you would teach how to write fics ;)? Beacause I have a few series I like but I am not sure they are apropried for pre-teens :-). And yes, I am europian, so I don´t know what the heck middle school means :D. Like 12 yo? Older? Younger? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are around 9-12 years of age. I need something that has a positive message, not too much romance involved (at least it shouldn't be the central idea), and with enough plot twists for them to write fanfiction about (means it can't be too predictable).

[justmickeyfornow]

The Lion, the wittch and the wardrobe? Are they too old for that? I wouldn't know, I am 41 and I still re-read it on a regular basis because I love it so much. So I stand by it. Go to Narnia. :-D

Hahaha as much as I would love to do a classic, I don't think this particular group of girls would appreciate Narnia the same way we do :) But thanks for reminding me of how much I love Narnia!

quick question: do any of my followers know Mandarin? I have to create a Good Luck kind of Jamboard for a Taiwanese friend and I thought it would be nice if I wrote it in Mandarin.

I absolutely do not wanna use Google translate...

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but the Inheritance Cycle (4) by Christopher Paolini (Eragon, eldest books) are good kids books. The author was a kid himself when he wrote them so it’s not like Oscar Wilde type writing level, but they’re fantasy. There’s some romantic undertones (ie. dude has crush on girl) but it doesn’t go anywhere and actually sends a pretty good message in the end. I normally wouldn’t spoil it, but it’s important to note the message it sends in the end that the boys don’t always get the girls just because they want too, and you see the protagonist learn about respect and boundaries, all coded in fantasy. As with a lot of fantasy, especially from that era, it lacks direct LGBTQ representation. But I’ve always just headcannoned the elves as being coded, and the author has said he envisions all peoples existing in his world, including LGBTQ. I’m not sure what your school system is like or what they’ll let you teach, so this was my safest suggestion in terms of having positive messaging, inspiring creativity, and captivation. It’s marketed towards boys cus the fantasy industry sucks, but there’s are huge female and LGBTQ base for it. It’s still a small fandom though. Don’t watch the movie. It’s the greatest movie crime, even worse than ATLA.

Oh wow! This looks like kinda on the line of what I'm looking for. I'll check it out and see if it's possible to use.

I've been asking around and some of my coworkers who have taught these girls have said that the girls are really into the whole "dystopian" YA thing lately. The "It's the end of the world and the only people who can save everyone is two teenagers" Kinda trope. So, I was thinking of also doing Legend by Marie Lu. I remember reading it when I was around that age (maybe older?) and it was pretty good.

I personally don't mind the addition of the LGBTQ undertones into the club. In fact! I would love to open the gay pandora box and let it all shine. But alas, we do have some conservative parents on the board and I'd really really rather not be fired over this.

I have to do a ton of reading tonight it seems!

Loving your work especially remembrance. Would you consider a small prequel in the future? Because kara revealing her identity after a kiss sounds hilarious. Keep up the amazing work ♥️

You liked Remembrance?!! You really liked it?!! That's awesome!! I'm totally up for a prequel/sequel in the future! I have a few dialigues written for that story that never made the original cut. So there will definitely be something in the future you can count on it!

[justmickeyfornow]

How about the Percy Jackson Series? It’s a good start!

I actually thought of it but remembered that these same students were part of last year's book club and they already did Percy Jackson. So gotta think of something else. Hit me up!

[justmickeyfornow]

shit now I have to come up with an actual 7 week lesson plan for this thing by Friday

EVERYBODY STOP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND LISTEN TO WHAT I JUST DID!
