After the Collapse
The Midwest had always been too quiet for Valerie. Growing up in the pumping heart of New York, she had always been sung to sleep at night by the cacophony of cars far below her window.

I Don't Have Anyone to Talk to About This
I love a good visual novel, so when I consistently saw characters from I Was A Teenage Exocolonist duking it out on Tumblr’s Most Dateable, I had to check it out- and I am so, so glad I did. To quote another user, “this game shakes my brain up like a soda can”.

What Is Up With the Twin Peaks Intro?
With a show so focused on a murder with its wide cast of eclectic characters, why is the intro so peculiar and vague?

The Surprising Connection Between a Shaman Woman Buried in Mesolithic Europe and Kiri from Avatar: The Way of Water
By Catie Plowman By now, we’ve all seen or at least heard of the 2009 film Avatar. You know, the movie with the blue alien people. In 2022, the world witnessed the sequel Avatar: The Way of Water. This addition to the series explored the familial relationships between the mixed Avatar-human Sully family, who leave their forest lifestyle in the wake of a tragic war between the inhabitants of the planet Pandora and humans.

Mission 1
By Cali Weber Day One The video feed flashed with static before settling in focus, showing a metal desk and chair inside a small, brightly lit room. The fluorescent lights bounced off the shiny metal walls, illuminating even the awkward space behind the red upholstered couch in the corner of the frame. “Did you get it turned on?” A stern female voice beyond the sight of the camera asked. “Yes, Sarge,” Another voice responded from out of frame. “I told you I’m not dumb.”

From Galatea
By Kennedy Ebberts Even before I woke, I could see. I could feel. I could think. I could dream. I could hate. And oh, how I hated. As I stood still as a statue, my mouth sealed in stone, my arms frozen at my sides, my body controlled my another, I floated in an ocean of revulsion. When his hands ran over my ivory skin I could do nothing but see. In my stone heart I was a raging beast begging to be set free, begging to sink my claws into his rough leathery skin in an imitation

Choreomania
I love hosting parties until the party comes. I love the planning, the decorating, the perfect curating of the never-ending playlist, poring over who to invite and who to tactfully leave out.

Be Original
I have never had an independent thought or original experience, and I want to have one so bad, I need to have one, I can’t be like everybody else, I have to be my own independent person—and I was going to do anything to make sure I would have my original experience—so I got to work and I came up with a plan, I was going to climb up to the top of the tallest building I could find and just scream for everyone to hear, the day came when it was time to enact my plan, I walked int

Why You Should Read The Illuminae Files!
Every once in a while, something random will remind me of a book series that I haven’t read in years. During class the other day, I was reminded of the absolute masterpiece of a young adult science fiction series by Amy Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: The Illuminae Files. I have only ever met one other person who has also read this series, and it makes me so sad! It’s absolutely incredible; more people should read it! You may be wondering what makes this series different than any o

The Song of the Gloaming (Fantasy)
Both sisters had tattoos of writhing, withering leaves across their cheeks and arms and chests. Both wore a pendant in the shape of a sword shattered down the fuller, the right belonging to Elenydd and the left to Eirianedd. Yet tonight, under the trilling of the nightjars, a shiver of uncanny cold ran down her skin to pool at the tips of her fingers and the base of her spine.
