The bad kids are an incredibly healthy and supportive friend group BUT OH MY GOD THEY SUCK AT COMMUNICATING!
Half of their problems would be solved if they talked to each other.
Fabian would GLADLY pay for Adaine's components and for Riz's tuition if they asked. He would even get his papa to change his trust fund conditions to include them. Or he would declare Riz and Adaine his nemesis.
They would figure out the reason for Fig's misfortune in a week max. They would march into hell, probably accompanied by both Gorthalax and Sandra Lynn, and demand to break whatever deal she made with whichever demon involved.
If Fabian even suggested he was lonely, the bad kids would organise sleepovers every night. He would circle between the Thistlesprings, the Gukgaks and the Mordred Manor. Lydia would pack him his own lunch.
Fig would immediately start promoting Cassandra's religion on all social media, and get her to thousand followers in a week. The rest of the bad kids would join without hesitation.
If Riz would finally admit the HUGE stress he is under, everyone, even Fig, would stop piling all the work on him and happily write their 10 page essays. They would convince him to see Jawbone, and enjoy his last years in high school. They would band together to find the rogue teacher within a day. They would make sure that Riz's resume is the most impressive CV that the universities have ever received.
They would all gather together to come up with music for Fig and Gorgug's new album. Fabian would choreograph their music videos, Adaine would come up with rhymes, Riz would bring a list of all their adventures, including motifs and connections made, to give her inspiration, Kristen would suggest to make parodies of classic camp songs from her old church.
Adaine would contact Aelwyn immediately to get dirt on Porter, to blackmail him. Gorgug would get permission for his MCAT exams by the end of the week.
And if she would stay on the phone a little longer and admitted how much she is struggling, Aelwyn would immediately return home along with her cats. Then she would drag her sister to Jawbone's door, and force her to give him the components list.
The problem is that even after all those years, after all those adventures, even after the forest of the nightmare king, they still each think of themselves as the weak link. As the person in the group that isn't allowed, doesnt deserve to take space, ask for help. Because they should be able to handle it on their own. Isn't that what adulthood is like?
They would abandon anything and everything to help someone else, as long as that person isn't themselves. As long as they dont have to show their amazing, incredible, powerful, and oh so compassionate friends how weak and imperfect they are in comparison.

so LOL my new job completely fucked me over and scammed me by telling me i'd work 20 hours a week immediately, then saying they won't have proper availability for a few more weeks, now saying they can barely give me hours at all, IF ANY, for the foreseeable future.
well my life goes on and continues to include expenses even as i try to apply for new jobs
in the meantime well my poetry books are still for sale!
you can get them for as little as 1 dollar or customize the amount to anything! PLEASE THEYRE NOT BAD- (INSERT REVIEWS HERE) the site is perfectly safe to buy from and v easy!

Mary-ann saying "did you get mad in real life" is just so painfully and beautifully accurate to how real teenagers(at least those that I know) are, I think she's toppled my current standing for personal favorite NPC, at least in fantasy high if not all of the dimension 20 that I've seen.
She loves her quokki pet and spends her time on forums just living life. She has a deep and important connection with her strawberry. She's on the blood rush team and absolutely killing it. She's got a strange enemies/rivals to lovers esque thing going on with Gorgug. She's got that dog in her, she is everything to me and always will be. My greatest wish is for her to have more screen time
The way Brennan has characterized her by just, making her so real in this fantasy world makes it so good. We will never know her next move and also always know her next move, she's a complicated woman and she's perfect???
Like all the characters, especially the rat grinders are very three dimensional and have lots to them but Mary Ann you will forever hold my heart.
I am so very normal about this

I was the original person to ask about lying but I got distracted before you answered so I'm really glad other people picked up my slack. anyways the reason there are so many cars in america is so that the average worker can successfully cook a "commuters breakfast" each day, composed of a hamburger and two eggs wrapped in tin foil and cooked directly on the cars engine, under the hood. without the nutrients provided by ambient motor oil, they have to supplement by eating pavement
we have a similar thing here actually. its called "the coffee club" and they supplement the food with pavement and motor oil completely free of charge
