I get that feeling a lot too, but I’m not really sure I have the best advice for overcoming it. I go through phases in my life where all my hobbies, particularly art and writing, feel very bland and aren’t fun anymore. I usually just wait it out and eventually I start liking it again. Sometimes I can force myself out of art block by…[Read more]

Ellie’s brow furrowed, her brain trying to keep track of all the questions.

“No, he doesn’t talk. And when he grows up he probably won’t be as soft. Do you know a kid named Sebastian? No? Well he just handed the puppy over to us yesterday and left before we could argue. I still don’t get why.”

The puppy…[Read more]

Ohhhh wait, it’s on a Saturday! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Well then I’ll check again and lyk when I find out!

Aw man! I wish I could make this one, but I really can’t fall behind in school any more so even taking one half-day off isn’t a good idea if I can avoid it 😭 HOpefully next time!!

@theduckator

Praying! <33

@hybridlore

Yes!! It’s a dark blue with purple shimmer. I’ll post a pic when I have one (in which I’m not wearing it 😛).

@theducktator

Ah, okay, gotcha. Yeahhh, tickets are expensiveee. Ours are $65, and that’s just the early-bird pricing😬 

We live in the southwestern area, closer to Cincinnati.

Finished history. Going to eat lunch!

Some things never change

Jumping in on this conversation, hehehe…

I’m going to prom this year!! But not a homeschool one. I’m a sophomore, and my school (a hybrid/private school) lets all high schoolers go since our high school isn’t as big as a public school, lol. I’m so excited!!

Also… if any of y’all go to a homeschool pr…[Read more]

Or I’ll take something important to the character from them. (Like Toothless’s tail fin.)

You just triggered my repressed obsession for HTTYD and I’m not complaining. The Vikings are many things, but they are not ableist, and it’s so well done. 😂

@keilah-h

Yeah. I have an even split of disabilities caused during the stories and before. So many of them have to do with mobility. And then I realized, ‘oh duh, I’m just writing what I know.’ XD

@theducktator

Or combine option A and option B so some characters die, some are permanently wounded, but they did it for a good trade, and so ultimately accept it as a win-win. I love inflicted-and-permanent disability, it’s such a useful trope. (Plus it adds some much-needed disability rep.)

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, good. I was also mildly bamboozled for a minute. XD

@theducktator

It is a very big book! And I don’t think we made anything too crazy in chemistry, but there were mild chemical reactions, and I dissected a pregnant shark. Maybe that’s irregular, though. Was that in Challenge 2…? 🤔

Hehehehe the teacher will never know… &#x1f60…

@hybridlore

Yeah, it was a little weird jumping in mid-year, but I’m glad I did.

Good! It can be rough jumping from one thing to another.

That seems like a given, but I don’t think I’ve ever went through an entire history of America in order—more like isolated events and time periods.

Yeah, same, up until that point. And for me, we focused more on…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I’ve only done this year and the last half of Challenge 2

I have a classmate who started just like that.

I also enjoyed American history and Shakespeare (somewhat.)

History is fun! I like Challenge 4’s history best, but it was cool to learn about all the unfamiliar American events.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m close enough to you t…

@hybridlore

Also, just out of curiosity… are you going to a homeschool prom in the next three weeks or so? I know you’re closer to me than most, and it’s always fun to check.

@hybridore

Oh yes. I’m pretty happy with the length requirements because they don’t expect too much, while also allowing for some flexibility. My friend, who has a bunch of extracurricular assignments, is writing 50 pages. I would have been down for that (because my topic is complicated), but my tutor only prepared us one semester in adv…[Read more]

I can only contribute with this, which is immediately what comes to mind. XD
