I Honestly Think It's Mela For Some Rambly Reasons Below

Pokepinion-tober: 7 + 8

Woops I missed a day. Time for another double feature.

So far: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, and Elgyem

7 Dusclops

He's very ghosty. I like that the patterns kind of look like the wrappings of a mummy. The one large eye is also a pretty neat thing because it looks real spooky.

But this guy was also a player in competitive a little bit ago. I don't remember the exact details but it would hold an eviolite to double its already bulky stats. But it could also learn trick room and other supporting moves so the competitive side is booming.

7/10. I like Hoenn, and I like this ghost.

8 Axew

It's cute I guess.

I'm usually not a huge fan of dragon types in general, but the cuter ones are certainly my favourites. This guy is a little cutie.

That's all I really have to say about him honestly. The greens are nice to look at, and his pose is very baby.

5/10. Very average.

They Wish They Were Us: Book Review

Me and my partner both read his book and we want to share out joy with y'all! (I was forced to read it by Ice, and I still liked it.)

So, if you haven't read the book/are still reading it, stop reading this post if you do not want spoilers! Besides that, let's begin!

Alright so They Wish They Were Us (or TWTWU for simplicities sake) is a book about teenager Jill Newman who is entering her senior year of high school. She is part of an elite group called the players. They party hard, have all the answer sheets, and a brutal induction process.

About a year before the book starts Jill's friend and fellow player Shalia was murdered and all the blame is on her boyfriend Graham but Jill starts getting messages from Grahams's sister pledging his innocence.

The book also has heavy mentions and examples of sex, drinking, vaping, drugs, and hazing. Consider these things before reading further in this review or picking the book up for yourself. [Especially if you can't handle subjects like these.]

So! *Handclap* that was the summary from my partner, now. Let's talk about what we thought of the book. I'll go first!

So, as a person who doesn't really read, I was recommended the book by my partner when she was reading it in class. (I do this a lot) So, when I went to Indigo! to pick a copy up and read it. I must say, I would recommend it too!

Jessica Goodman's writing style is legible and has a bit of a lower reading level. But it makes the flow of the book smoother, so audiences can follow along better.

I can doubly agree! Even as someone who often times prefers books written for an older audience, this book continued to engage me with it's twists and turns. Even though I was never part of an elite high school group, I felt like I was truly there with Jill and experiencing the chaos for myself.

One of my favourite parts of the book is seeing Jill slowly realize that the players aren't that great. One way this is done is by showing flashbacks of Jill and Shalia's induction process where they were pressured into drinking, smoking, undressing. Another way this is shown is when Jill's brother Jared is joining the players and Jill see's how it changes him for the worse.

The book also shows that as much as Jill disagrees with what the players do, she feels like she can't leave because of her scholarship. She needs to keep her grades up to stay in the school and the players give her an answer sheet so she can't fail.

Besides that! What about the flaws? Not all books are perfect after all!

They Wish They Were Us, besides the long title. There are a LOT of flashbacks. Not bad, but sometimes they get in the way of the last 30 pages of the book. Although they are usually really important to the plot and the storyline. Also, I understand that the Players were a huge group in the book, but it felt like there were too many characters to remember, and I sometimes get them mixed up. Also, just generally if you accidentally stop paying attention to the page [Especially earlier and later in the book.] you get confused. Then you have to re-read that paragraph. (Not sure if it's just me though.)

And, the Paper-back edition of the book has worse durability than a McDonalds' play-place trampoline. So, if you tend to bend, chip or peel up the covers of your book, take the hardcover... Even if it has a weird slide-off cover. j us t t a ke the ha rd c ov er. (I had the paperback, and my partner had the hardcover.)

Last thing to mention on my half, THE BOOK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN STORES HALF OF THE TIME, MY COPY WAS THE LAST COPY IN THE ENTIRE INDIGO! Other than that,

amazing job Jessica Goodman! you got me into reading again :D

I mean my biggest issue with the book was a plot line that got brought up then completely dropped. After an issue that leads Jill to not having answer sheets anymore, teachers start noticing her declining performance. Jill meets with her principal who kinda sorta threatens the safety of her scholarship. This never comes up after the chapter ends. Most of the issues that Air had didn't really apply to me but I'm just a weirdo who remembers like everything I read so *shrugs*.

But let's stop focusing on the negatives and talk about favourite scenes! One of my favs is when Jill takes part in the Road Rally. It's basically a giant scavenger hunt used as a way to weed out the pussies. With challenges like vaping with teachers and stealing, it places character morals in jeopardy.

Another one of my favourites was a flashback (sorry Air) [Awe come on man :( ] where Shalia takes a bullet for Jill and chugs some QuEsTiOnAbLe Alcohol. It shows both the irresponsibility of the players and how good of a friend Shalia is! Okay, my turn to talk about my favourite bits of the book.

My favourite scenes is whenever Nikki is in it, doing something crazy. Same with on the last few chapters of the book. Jill fighting Adam. Although it wasn't intense, it was still interesting either way. Same with the final scene, when everything about The Players goes up in flames. I JUST REALLY LIKED THEM, NO REASON, I LI K E D TH E M.

So, what have we learned? TWTWU was a phenomenal book (though does have a few issues plot wise, as all books do!)

I hope you enjoyed reading our humble review and maybe consider adding They Wish They Were Us to your personal reading list! That's all folks! Hope you have a great rest of your day! And... Happy Reading!

is that a lighter in your pants or is your penis on fire

Dark. Very dark

I want to see a fucked up team star au that they never met cassiopeia, and never created team star together and... no teacher knows they're bullied. They're all fucked up more then now.

Tw for violence and sucide implied

What if giacomo joined the real group of bad students to avoid the bullying?

What if mela explodes and beating one bully neary death?

What if atticus push one of the bully from the rooftop?

What if ortega ended up with accuse the academy?

What if eri dropout the academy and trying to hide her pain alone?

And what if... penny trying to end her life?

God it’s so dark

PokePinion-Tober: 10 + 11

Time for another double feature! I honestly like these more so they may become more frequent instead of singles.

So far we’ve done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, 

10. Raticate

It’s a rat.

That’s literally all I have to say about this thing. Like, it’s not even cute like other early route normal things. 

Sure it’s not bad early game, getting moves like Hyper Fang early is always good, but it’s so ugly.

4/10. Just no.

11 Hattrem

Cute!

I love this whole line and the concept behind them and Hattrem is super cute!

Can you tell I like cute things?

The blue and pink together make me think of candy floss, which is always good. I like who it moves around on its hair, it looks very ridiculous but it works pretty well. 

Also the big pretty eyes. 

7/10. Cutie Patootie that must be protected.

A curiosity test to explain some cultural context, bias, why some things go more viral than others, or simply curiosity.

(reblog if possible for more data).

Ok, Hear Me Out

if Ryme and Tyme are sisters they should have the last name right?

And teachers often don't go by their first names in class so Tyme is likely her last name RIGHT?

so is Ryme's name

Ryme Tyme?

The principal difficulty of having a Pokémon pick up your groceries for you isn’t getting it to understand the concept of a grocery list, but getting it to understand the concept of capitalism.

One might assume that Meowth is the exception, given that Meowth is literally the capitalism Pokémon; the trouble here is that, while Meowth does understand capitalism, Meowth also understands shoplifting.

Sex ed... It happened.

So... I was in class today with my friend, and it was Sex ed.

We were doing Kahoot! and just hanging out until this question came up: "What would happen if the testosterone levels in a female rises?" or something along those lines-

Then somebody asked my teacher "Wait, does this mean a girl can grow a penis if they have more testosterone?"

Then, my teacher had to explain to the WHOLE class, that girls can't grow a penis if that happens.

(Right after that, somebody though people pooped through their urethra.)
