A normal day in the office... After arresting your daughter?

Ryann Shaw sat in the interrogation room, listening halfheartedly to the police officer in front of her who was gloating about how he had taken down the “elusive Rosemont Bandit”. And to be honest, while she liked the nickname, she never saw herself as elusive. Somehow someone had figured out that she was behind the burglaries, and by the way the man in front of her was talking, she was sure that it was not him.

And she wasn’t even sure she was actually caught. Without any proof, she could just deny it and they’d have no way to keep her. Not without a confession. She smirked as the police officer in front of her slammed his hands down on the table. “Are you even listening to me? We have proof that puts you at least one of the six houses within the last six months. If you confess right now we can cut you a deal.”

Ryann stared at the officer. Was he expecting her to respond or something? Because if he was, he was going to be waiting for a good while.

He crossed his arms and stood up. “I can’t help you out unless you say something. Did you rob those houses?”

Ryann just sat there and smiled a tight smile up at the officer who looked like he was about to flip a table when the door to the interrogation room opened and a large guy in a gray button down and slacks walked into the room.

“Officer Jameson. I told you to stay out of the interrogation room. Just because you escorted the suspect here doesn’t mean you broke the case. So please for the benefit of yourself, the suspect, and mine for goodness sake please stop telling everyone you did.”

“I thought for sure I could get the little crook to talk! I didn’t even bring up the evidence,”

Ryann put her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her hand, smirking at the cop.

The detective got in the cops face. “That little crook is my daughter. No matter what she did, you do not talk about her like that.”

The cop paled and shrunk back… “Y-Your daughter? You mean the mute one?” He turned to look at Ryann who gave him a cute little wave and a sly wink. “You’re just going to let her go?!”

Her father took one look at her and her grin disappeared. She knew that he was the one that had found her out and he wasn’t going to be able to help her. It would not be easy to get out of this one

“Pierce!”  Her father pushed the cop out of the room and closed the door on him.

He just stared at the door for a few minutes while Ryann sat there waiting for him to say something. Anything that would let her know what he was thinking…

He turned around and sat down at the table. “Oh Ryann…”

She signed at him, asking him what was wrong trying to play dumb, just to see if she could actually convince him otherwise.

He sighed. “Ryann… Don’t even try… I know you’ve been sneaking out and robbing folks blind. I technically don’t even need a confession.”

Ryann bit her lip. She signed again, asking her father how he knew.

Her father looked her straight in the eyes. “You left some blood at the last house… Took a few days for the test results to come back, but apparently, the family dog got some blood on its fur.”

Ryann winced as she remembered the dog bite she had received on her left leg as a throbbing pain made sure she remembered. She had bandaged it up, but she really wished she had hit the dog harder.

Pierce sighed as he continued. “Now you could have just gotten off easy for one burglary, but no. You had to leave a calling card. The blood and the giant letter R were enough to pin you for all six.”

Ryann hung her head, trying to at least look a little bit ashamed for her criminal activity.

“But you know what really clinched it for me, well before we got the DNA tests back.”

Ryann looked up again, realizing this was far from over.

Pierce looked down at the table, looking rather ashamed of his daughter. “Those earrings… I know who they really belonged to.”

Ryann’s hands went to her earrings, then she signed frantically to her dad to stop.

“They were your mother’s.” His eyes met hers. “I sold them to Mrs. Crawford a few weeks after the funeral… I always thought it was funny how Mrs. Crawford’s was the first house that was hit and that the only thing missing…” His eyes flicked to the earrings and Ryan covered them up again. “... Then you started to wear them around the house. And I wanted to believe that you had just bought them. I tried to convince myself that it was just a coincidence…”

Ryann started to cry. The earrings were her mother’s. Pierce had no right to sell them to anyone. They were the last thing Ryann had given to her mother, but did Pierce care? No. Apparently, he just had to sell them and not even think twice about letting her keep them. She signed angrily at her father that he didn’t care about her mother.

He slammed his fists on the table. “Don’t you dare try and turn this around on me. I loved your mother more than you will ever realize. I sold all of her stuff because I know she would want us both to live our lives. I had to give things up to move on. So do you.”

Ryann blinked away tears and signed to him that she was going to admit to stealing. The earrings and everything else. She signed to him that she would love to watch him lock her away because he didn’t deserve her mother or her.

Pierce clenched his fists and called over his shoulder. “Put her in the holding cell with the other one. I’ll decide what to do with her later.”

She stared Pierce dead in the eyes as two officers entered the room and helped her up from her chair, cuffing her and leading her out of the room and down the hallway. At the end of the hallway, she was gently pushed into a holding cell.

She brushed herself off and turned to look outside the cell. She could see her dad talking to another officer in a window. When he looked up and saw her watching, he moved out of the way of the window.

She gave him the finger and turned to face the wall. She wasn’t alone in the cell. And she wasn’t surprised at who was with her.

Her ears were met with several exclamations in spanish as she smiled at the young Hispanic male sitting on the bench against the wall with his face in his hands. He was a shorter guy and he had curly black hair. He was wearing his green Tri-Force shirt and blue jeans, so that meant he too was picked up at school. She was honestly curious as to how he had gotten caught. After all, he was just the accomplice.

As the door clicked shut, the boy’s head snapped up. “Ryann! I am so sorry! I saw the policeman take you away, and I turned myself in because I didn’t want to get dragged away like that too.”

Ryann chuckled and rolled her eyes at her friend. Hershell Farse was a huge nerd and was always a little skittish when it came to assisting her. She only needed him as a driver for one thing. And even then, she had to promise him that he wouldn’t show or give him anything she stole.

She signed at him telling him that there was nothing for him to worry about, even though she wasn’t actually sure. She just needed to make sure he was calm.

He glanced around. “We are in jail. There is so much we should be worried about.”

Ryann shrugged and signed that she wasn’t sure what was going to happen to them. He was right… nothing was alright at all…

Avengers Endgame Review (Spoilers are inevitable if you haven't seen the film)

Avengers Endgame was the culmination of years of so much hard work and writing and time on behalf of everyone involved in the project. It was a three hour movie so it had a lot of room to add details, leave easter eggs, tease future projects, and slip in a lot of jokes. It may have been a box office success but was it really amazing? Like was it a breathtaking finale to a ten year storyline.

Well... Yes? And No? This movie had positives and negatives throughout the entire thing. Like for example, the life after the snap and decapitation of Thanos scenes really resonated. I was hoping for those kinds of scenes. Just seeing how every character reacted after losing so much. The trips through time were wonderful and I loved the homage to the past movies. Especially seeing Freya and The Ancient One in their respective scenes. I loved the Ancient One's whole part of explaining how time works and then getting really pale when she finds out Strange gave up the time stone to save Tony Stark. But the scenes with Howard Stark and Peggy Carter really made my heart melt. The emotional factors of this movie really made it for me. Especially in that final scene of the movie.

Several characters made this movie very enjoyable for me, especially in the comedic department. Morgan Stark was an adorable and funny character just like Tony and I really hope that we see more of her as maybe a young hero???? Young Avengers. Please Happen. You set it up over the entire three hours with Morgan, the other kids introduced and of course Harley Keener who was seen in the funeral scene. We saw you Harley. Setting up to be Iron Lad? Let's do this! Bring on Hulking and Wiccan! And Antman! The comedic relief from Paul Rudd's character really helped make this movie a combo of tears and giggles for me. I loved his role in this more than I did the actual Antman movies! And Rocket actually had a bit of an opportunity to shine on his own with a bunch of stuff. Plus that snark definitely hasn't gone anywhere.

Thing is, all of these actors have great chemistry with one another and I think that definitely plays a big part in how well the movie flowed. Plus add that to OMG moments like Thor stealing his hammer from himself, Loki stealing the Tessaract, STEVE LIFTING MJOLNIR, and Gamora re-entering the MCU. This movie was chock full of wonderful things.



Of course, you could tell a BUT was coming. Out of all the things this movie did well... It just kinda fell flat in others. First of all, where the heck was the Coulson cameo? You have cameos from all these loveable characters and you just FORGOT Phil?

Out of the six Avengers, only Tony, Steve, and Natasha were fun to watch. I don't really know the others didn't really do it for me. AND DO NOT get me started on my opinion on that one dreadful scene. Honestly out of the several women that survived the snap! You get one captured and tortured by an alternate version of herself, and the other fighting one of her best friends so she can die?! There was a better solution. Hawkeye should have gone. All he wanted was to get his family back! He jumps, Nat is fine to go back with the stone and so many fans would not be upset. (Not that I hate Hawkeye. I just think Ronin was a jerk in this. He had motivation, but I didn't really get anger and hatred... I didn't buy it) And then of course, characters who should have dominated this movie and KILLED THANOS (FRICKIN CAROL DANVERS) got either (again) kidnapped by their past self or only got three-five minutes of screentime. Plus, I would have loved to see more Okoye! I get she was in Wakanda, but Angela Bassett confirmed in an interview the queen was still alive. Couldn't she take care of Wakanda so like Okoye could... I don't know help save the universe? (though now that I think about it she also said Shuri was alive too and...) That was another thing I hated. They killed Vision, but instead of getting him fixed to help, he probably sat in Wakanda as a lifeless husk of metal.

There was that powerful scene with all these awesome Marvel ladies... that lasted about as long as Captain Marvel's screentime. Like... Why limit something that awesome? I needed more of that. In fact like give us a movie that's just three hours of all of them hangin out and kicking butt! Just all of them. Like resurrect Nat and do it.


As far as everything else though, I was a fan! Great story, great characters, and I laughed and cried at the same time at some points. OH NO. NO NO NO. Wait a minute. There was a thing I didn't like. Now just to let y'all know. That scene with Tony snapping was perfection. But I was kinda hoping to see Nebula wearing the glove. While the Tony snapping ended his arc with a perfect ribbon on a casket... Nebula putting the nail in her father's coffin would have been the sweet justice she was looking for. For Gamora, for the torture, for being second favorite. It would have been the perfect twist of the knife. Of course, I am saying this as a nerd. But as a fan I loved the ending.

I am giving this movie an 8.5 stars out of 10 because I can't rate it lower due to some of the awesome stuff that went down. But I can't go higher because of what happened to Natasha.

Analysis of Escape the Night Trailer + My predictions and maybe some theories.

The All-Star Season of Escape the Night will really be just that. Appearances from people and things from the previous seasons. But I should probably link the trailer so you can follow along with me as I do this thang! Click here to see the trailer!

First Place the trailer goes is old deaths. Some of people not even in this season. Then we get to the juicy stuff. Joey expressing remorse and regret for killing his friends. Which to be honest, it's surprising he still has them. Well not really since we see him setting up a rescue and only Bretman Rock seemed to show up... Oh wait. Who's that on the side! OH SNAP MATPAT and NIKITA! YES PLEASE. Kinda glad it was them and not Tyler and Andrea, partially because the best of Season 2 are in this season already. (Btw I know I seem negative about these guys, but I do love these two. Just not their run on the show.) Mhmmmm. I mean it. (Also just want to point out some of those things on the table. The crown is the Season 2 thing that they had to complete so they could leave, and resurrect Joey. And the blue glowy thing is from last Season after Joey kinda ripped it out of the dead Carnival Master's chest... That's what he did right?)

BECAUSE GUESS WHO THE HECK SHOWS UP NEXT. LIZAFRICKINKOSHY! Our favorite explorer seems to be back as the explorer. But not as part of the game itself. She seems to be on her own little side mission to help out. I am super intrigued by this. If she is on a sidequest in this, who else could be walking around? Safiya? Matt (Not Matpat Mat)? JC? Shane Dawson? Apparently so! Liza name drops our Renegade in the trailer and while we don't see him, this only the season trailer so it's not gonna spill too much.

The Sorceror is back, possibly the greatest main villain in my honest opinion. She was also probably the most powerful. (No one came back to life during her reign of terror.) But this trailer isn't sure what she is apparently as she is buddy buddy with everyone in one scene and then like ticked off in the next! And if she can come back does this mean Arthur might come back? Because that'd be bad news. O-O

Society Against Evil has two new sheik looking members in Mat and Nikita! So that is cool! Hopefully the show doesn't immediately murder them. Also, ARE OLI AND EVA GOING TO SHOW UP. I just want another scene where Oli, Eva, Tyler, and Andrea all reject Joey's invitations with funny one-liners.

Mortimer is back too! Hoping this means Calliope and Allison come back! I'd add Jet-Pack Girl, but she is still alive so unlikely. Hopefully he doesn't screw himself over by messing with an artifact. AGAIN.



Guys. I am so confused by this trailer. I was right about Destorm and Alex being buddy buddy. No one trusts Joey, even Bretman. And these scenes are so scattered. But I have an epiphany. And a top guess of who will survive.

Colleen is at the top. She was one of the most featured faces in the trailer. I thought she would be a savage this season by going after Joey again and I think she will do that, but I also think he won't be able to turn the others against her again. And if people are mad at Joey, they won't be as mad at Colleen which means she could make it farther. There is also a scene in the trailer where it is only her, Joey, Tim, and Justine which in my honest opinion would be an awesome final four stacked heavily against Joey. It could be a sham and they just split off from the rest of the group to help with a thing. Still good theory.


Unfortunately, I also think Team Cinnamon Ro, I am keeping that name btw..., will be very upset. I don't think Ro will make it. But as of right now the trailer doesn't smile upon Tana, Destorm, Justine or poor Ro.

Of course. We still have the trailer at the end of episode one that could lend to some theories. Anything could happen. Hoping to catch the first episode the day it premieres, July 11th! On Joey's youtube channel!

More Cross-Storyverse Character Friendships I adore!

The world can sometimes be a dark and gloomy place whether in real life or fiction. And just like us humans, book characters need people they can rely on and trust... Even if that character is from a completely different project.universe/time zone/time period.

And a lot of you seemed to love hearing about some of my character's friendships with other characters. :) I guess it is just really nice to read about happy things like friendship. So in honor of friendship and all that fun stuff, here are five more cross-storyverse character friendships.

Here's the first part for reference. It's also a really cute read.

This second part here is a little different from pairs used in the first part. The first pairs are based on pairs are from solely character exercises. These pairs come from projects I have written already that span different universes. And of course, it has been so darn long since I wrote the first part.

Cason Hendricks and Natalie Kent!

These two are my dream team. I have wanted to write a friendship between these two ever since I teamed them up in a character exercise. They are a wonderful team of fun and kickbuttery. Cason is from a WIP called This is For Benji and Natalie is from the Heroes Collide series (which surprisingly also has Cason!). Cason and Natalie are both powerful characters in their own right, and while only one has superpowers they both have a tendency to break things or people.

They both love doing things like playing video games, taking road trips, going on hikes, and fun things like that. Even though they are from separate universes they somehow manage to keep some sort of contact. Both of them have each other as one of their favorite contacts on their phone just because they call each other every other week. They don't hangout too often but when they do they tend to make a weekend out of it and go do something extremely crazy. Like one time where Natalie brought Cason to a crowded mall and he helped her stop a robbery.

Natalie hasn't met Mikayla, his girlfriend, officially yet due to their only interactions being endurance competitions but they seem to get along well enough.


Razor Channing and Jackson Malerdeen!

These two boys have gone through a lot to get to the point they were at when this friendship began. Jackson is from a story called Forbidden Project, and Razor is from/ Phantom Janitor (BUY NOW!) and both of these either are or will be characters in Heroes Collide. Jackson had just recently going through a breakup, and Razor was questioning some specific life choices when they met because Vinnie pushed Jackson through to another dimension for a few days. He and Razor meet at a grocery store where Razor is buying angry cider and frozen pizzas. A confused Jackson bumps into him while looking for a way back and they kind of awkwardly hit it off. Jackson spends the days Vinnie marooned him there hanging out with Razor, Buck, and Manny. After he goes back, he keeps contact and actually brings Razor to spend some time in his world.

They both like watching tv shows on Netflix, eating pizza, boy bands, and cinnamon rolls. From time to time Jackson cooks home cooked meals for Razor, Buck, and Manny. Razor has helped Jackson improve his combat skills as far as showing his some moves that help incapacitate foes.


Shane Sheppard and Cason Hendricks!

You guys know these two, sort of! Shane is our loveable short protagonist from Spooksville y'all. HE and Cason have know each other since they were pups. They used to live next door before Cason packed and moved to Alaska. Cason knows Shane better than anyone else does including some secrets about him that a lot of others don't know. They webcam chat every few days to make sure the other is good. And sometimes they play Dungeons and Dragons online

Shane and Cason are both in Heroes Collide. And you will see a bit more of this soon! :D


Cassidy Wells-Hilman and Lacey Lance

Cassidy is from my published novel, Phantom Janitor. And Lacey Lance is just a normal character I like to use. She has a project but it doesn't have a name yet. Case in point, she was Cassidy's unnamed roommate who is excellent at video games and taught her some useful things.

Since they both lived in the same place together they both spent a good amount of time together. They played video games, tried out competitive cooking, they'd go people watching at a local park. They are both a little different, for instance, Cassidy was only sixteen when she was paired to live with Lacey who was seventeen and studying set design. They actually made a board game together about movie trivia.



And this is all for nowww!

Most of these pairings are from Heroes Collide! Which I should have more information about soon! Till then... BYE

Poor Unfortunate Soul?

"Magic comes at a price... No matter what you use it for, all magic will have its repercussions. Everyone must pay." 

The young raven wiped a tear from her cheek as she stared deep into the purple smoke of the cloudy hand mirror. "A-And then I can be powerful?" She choked back a sob. "And no one will ever hurt me again?"

The mirror's glow almost eased the girl's nerves as she clutched the mirror's handle in her small claws. "Of course, little one." The smoke in the mirror parted and revealed a face. "What is your name?"

The girl was startled by the face. It was really just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth floating beyond the surface of the glass, among the clouds of smoke. "Alani, Daughter of the house of Reynolds."

"Hello Alani. Are you sure that you are ready for the consequences of using dark magic?"

Alani nods and purple smoke poured out of the face of the mirror and slowly enveloped the young vulnerable bird.

Fractured Fairytales!

The fairy tales we think we know... And by this I mean the ones in the Disney movies and the Disney wannabe movies. Most of them are fractured fairy tales. A fractured fairytale is basically the result of taking an old "fairy tale" and adding to/taking away from/putting an original spin on a classic story. And honestly, the definition can also be twisted to include things like mythology or cultural stories.

Just think about how popular some of these are. Disney has been doing this for years! Frozen was a fan favorite and I still hear people singing Let It Go at the top of their lungs from time to time. Once Upon A Time took it a step farther and gave these and put some real twists on the characters that we thought we knew. I mean who would have guessed that Rumplefrickinstiltskin was as involved as the show portrayed him. And even the Brothers Grimm works were taken and twisted into the tapestry of the wonderful show called Grimm! Some people have no idea that their favorite Disney princess or story might be a pale comparison to the original tale. For instance, in Cinderella you might have heard that the original story involved the evil stepsisters having their eyes pecked out by birds, or in Snow White the evil queen feasts on an animal's organs thinking they were Snow's. Not to mention some of these old stories were super rapey and not good... Yeah think about where Disney would be today if that were to show things like that in their movies. I mean Once Upon A Time may have gone and dabbled a bit in the darkness with the stealing hearts thing but these stories were DARK.

But what I am saying is people love it when original lore on old stories and literature is revamped and given a spin. Just look at some popular young adult book series. The Rick Riordan series surrounding the adventures of halfbloods from Camp Halfblood are based on Greek/Roman Mythos! (Not exactly fairy tales but hey...) The Lunar Chronicles series is a dystopian take on Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Snow White, and Rapunzel! People love learning about Mythos through media. I mean just look at how well Supernatural is doing! 15 Seasons of battling demons, demigods from different mythologies. Paris FRICKIN Hilton got to play a Eastern European forest god called a Leshi! 

It's so fascinating to see people's takes on fairy tales. My book Phantom Janitor is a take on the story of Cinderella. If she was a dude... And dressed up as popular theater icon. But think about it, ALSO SPOILERS AHEAD Boy who kinda lost both parents. Was living with a step-parent who hated his guts and wouldn't let him go to a dance to see a girl he loves. A girl who may not be a princess but definitely is someone who has status. I know the grammar is bad, but hey deal with it. 

But things like the movies and series' above have really inspired me. I'd love to make my own fractured fairy tales. I have been working on a few ideas for quite some time. I might even let you have a peek at one soon if I find the time to write more than just an introductory scene. 

Yes! I wrote this entire post to lead into the fact that I am writing something else. Yes. But I am really excited for these because I am hoping to turn these stories inside and out till I make something wonderful. 

And I have all these questions going through my head. Like "What would happen if Robin Hood was a lady?" or "What if dragons were not as common in this fairy tale land?" or even "What if evil was powerless without help from a wicked or vulnerable soul?"

These are just a few of the things I want to go into. What do you think? Did I explain it well enough? Do you still not understand? If you want to confirm any of the things I have said, just google it. Especially the things about the original fairy tales. I was shocked to learn some of these. Like just type into the google search bar "the real story of" then take your pick of a popular Disney princess. Except for Vanellope from Wreck it Ralph. That one is truly original. OH MY GOODNESS and don't get me started on their spin on actual real life people. You will hate John Smith. The only story I think the source story was actually better was Mulan. Yes. Mulan was real. You should look it up. 

Okay BYE.

What's on my mind as of Thursday the 13th!

The Schedule Posts Button is SOOOOO FUN! I am writing this on a Thursday evening because I just wanted to make sure I had a fun post for next week! And a fun post may be what you get! Or you know, you may be a buzzkill and are just like... "Wait... How did I get here?" to which I would reply "Too many cat videos on youtube led you to the unorganized blog of a wannabe cat." Nawwww we all know I'd be more like "Dude, I don't even know why I am here. I am just as lost as you." And the funny thing is no one would be surprised.

Honestly, you should know by now that I am not exactly the brightest bulb when it comes to remembering what the heck I am doing. For example, while I was writing this post I stood up to go get some water and ended up standing to look at a candle I bought from Yankee Candle the other day. I don't even remember what this post was supposed to be about. But like if you ask me things about one of my characters, I'll be like "Oh so basically Derrick almost got arrested when he was thirteen because he tried to burn down Ernesto's house because the man had forgotten to let him out of the attic (and because he hit him.)" 

Yeah. You could say I have a one track... Like a Hot wheels track. Man I used to have a bunch of those as a kid then my mom stole all my hot wheels cars. I am trying to collect them again... Anyway what was I talking about?

You know what would be fun? Back when I was promoting Phantom Janitor after it came out, one of my favorite parts of these launch parties/signings was that people got to ask me questions about things having to do with my writing or my future projects. I'd love to do something like that again but I don't know how I would do it. Maybe in a week or so when I have some free time I might ask for some questions. Maybe I could stream it live on twitter or something. Never done that before. Could be fun! 

I just wrote the name for this post and I am giggling because it's Thursday the 13th! HAHA! Not today Jason! Keep that filthy cracked mask away from me and stay on your own gosh darn day!

Oh! So I saw Aladdin this Sunday (or Last because I am posting it next week). It was really good! Did anyone else see it? I am going to put that one song Jasmine sung on my playlist. Such a great film. It made me want to go watch the original again. Should I review the live action one? Let me know somehow. I can add that to the three other posts I want to write out. 

By the way, if anyone is confused about what this is, it is really just me in front of my computer typing out what is inside my head. I had a feeling someone might be reading this like "What a mess!" I know it's kind of a mess. But it is helping me out a bit. 

Does anyone want me to post recipes on here? I have been wanting to for the longest time. I really want to try and make that sandwich I mentioned in Korey's interview. I haven't had banana peppers on a sandwich before. I don't even know if I like them. But I am craving it for some reason. It sounds delicious! You know what? Someone should try and make that and let me know how it tastes? Am I on to something with this?

I should end this here otherwise I'd go on till tomorrow! That would be very bad for my sleep. BYE!

Nerdy Obsessions of 2019?

*cracks knuckles* Alright. Lets tackle some of these. Also fair warning most of these should be viewed with discretion if you are under the age of thirteen as some of these could contain profanity and stuff. OKAY COOL LETS GO

As you all know this year was a big year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the end of Phase Three with Avengers Endgame (though I think it technically ends with Spiderman Far From Home). An epic conclusion that tied up everything the previous films were leading up to, and offering us a look into some future installments like the next Guardians film and as I said before the upcoming Spiderman film. There were other things in it too, but I will get into those in a future post. The thing is, this movie really was a good send off. Overall it paid homage to a cinematic universe that has been running for the last ten years. If you haven't seen it I'd recommend it. As I said I will be doing a fuller review on another post.

And speaking of Endgame, there was another highly anticipated superhero who also came in with a stellar film. Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers, made her official MCU debut in March. (I went to see it for my birthday AND went to Cheesecake factory!) I have so many good things to say about this movie. I loved the chemistry between her and Nick Fury, I positively adored the story and how powerful Carol really is. I know there is definitely a bit of social commentary in the film, but I feel like it enhanced my enjoyment of this film. I went into it expecting one thing and was completely blown away. I will also probably be reviewing this movie. Another thing I will say about this movie is that I loved the core cast, especially in the second half of the film. Everyone just seemed to mesh together so well.

As of lately I have been drawn into the complicated universe of Once Upon A Time, a show about a young woman who is drawn to a quiet main town by a young boy who says the town is full of cursed fairy tale characters (more like Disney characters!). Oh and the boy is her son she gave up for adoption several years before. I think my favorite part about this show is the cast of characters. From Ginnifer Godwin to Lana Parilla (My favorite Evil Queen!) each cast member brings wonderful life to their characters and has really revived my love for Fractured Fairytales! The show recently ended with an apparently underwhelming Season 7, but don't let bad reviews discourage you from checking it out.

Another long running series I have been drawn into is Pretty Little Liars, a tv show following four girls in a town drowning in secrets. Secrets that a dark figure wishes to bring to light. It's a thrilling game so far as I have seen. If you are a fan of soap operas this show literally has so much tea to spill. With an amazing core cast of Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Torian Bellsario, and Shay Mitchell this show immediately has a suspenseful air showing us that each girl has things they are hiding and that a certain person from their lives is purposely plotting to bring them all down. This show is definitely not for people younger than thirteen and I would highly advise not watching it if you are not into scandal or soap operas or intense drama. This show aired for seven seasons and has been given a spinoff in the form of Perfectionists starring series regulars Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish which is on Freeform if you are curious about it.

Finally! The Arrowverse is apparently wrapping up two major shows on the CW and not reviving Arrow or Flash for another season after the upcoming Eighth and Sixth seasons. While it will be sad to see them leave, the last we see them has opened up the window for a HUGE crossover event. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but this crossover is slated to include Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman with rumors that Black Lightning may possibly be getting in on the action too. With a crossover this big covering a comic event that had a huge impact on the DC Universe as a whole, you can bet we are going to be seeing some huge things happen to our heroes (and possibly our villains). I don't know too much about this crossover yet, only that it will not be easy for die-hard fans of these shows and characters to watch.

I am excitedly anticipating the return of Peter Parker, MJ, and Ned to the big screen in Spiderman Homecoming later this month! I am still super curious about the intentions of Jake Gyllenhal's Mysterio, but that'll probably talk for another time.


Thanks for joining me for another Nerdy Obsession post. My last one was so long ago and kinda dull and underwhelming so this felt really nice. Anyway! Toodles!

Escape The NIIIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHT.... ALLSTARS! SpOiLeRs for the past three seasons

This summer series is on Season 4 is one of my favorite parts of summer. And summer means barbeques are happening (even though I don't get invited to very many barbeques...) Where are my friends? O.O Do I have any?



Where dey at though?!


IT'S BACK THOUGH! Our favorite youtube series that promise youtube star studded casts every year... THEN MERCILESSLY KILLS MOST OF THEM OFFFFFF!

But guess what?! If you don't follow Joey Graceffa or Escape The Night on twitter (CLICK ON THEIR NAMES TO GO TO THEIR TWITTERS WHOOOOOOOSH), Joey and the ETN twitter released teasers and an All Star cast! And guess what! They got new costumes! Take a moment to just look at these beautiful people!

Look at that! A stellar cast... Most of these people are going to die O.O

Let me break this cast down for you!

TIMOTHY DELAGHETTO
By some weird chance (because I suck at putting pictures on a page) Tim is first on this one. Tim was one of the best characters on the first season. He made it to the final five, only to die in Russian Roulette Battleship... But now that he is back... I think he might actually have a chance to win. Challenges are more based on skills now where as Battleship had a bigger chance of... chance.
If Tim allies himself with the right people, he could outlast the other heavy hitters.

Does he have a chance to win? I think so! Will he win? It is hard to say. He didn't really rub anyone the wrong way in Season 1 (Except for Sierra but in my mind she is on a Teala Dunn level of gameplay so...) So unless he causes someone to die or you know is a complete... You get it.


GABBIE HANNA
Poor Gabbie was the heart Season 2 decided to rip out of it's chest (quite literally). I have been a Gabbie stan since DAY ONE and she deserved a much better ending. She was a bold character who's only concern was keeping the others safe. But this Gabbie Hanna looks super fierce. In fact I think we might be seeing a ruthless Gabbie Hanna this season. Especially because another cast member will be among the cast. I think she might be the Nikita of this season and do everything she can to survive.

Does she have a chance to win? I want to say yes. Will she win? Probably not by playing that way. Nikita may have been a wonderful character, but she was probably in the most danger during her season. Being a driving force rubs people the wrong way. Now if I am wrong and Gabbie is her same old self she should be safe.


TANA MONGEAU 
You know, this all star season seems to have a bunch of characters with similar fates. They were fricking stabbed in the back. Tana was the cinnamon roll of Season 2. I loved her character. She was kind, and fiercely protective of her friends. She sent Tyler into a death challenge because he jokingly threatened the others. I honestly really would love to see this same Tana in Season 4. I think if she hadn't been betrayed by FRICKIN ANDREA, she could have made it to the end. (Plus Alex might have survived that one challenge by choosing her as his partner over Joey)

Does she have a chance to win? Everyone has a chance to win. I mean look at Tyler Oakley. Will she? Again. There is a good chance she could win. I would be okay with her winning, especially after what she had done to her.


DESTORM POWER
If there was a secondary antagonist to Season 2, it probably would have been Destorm Power. After cheating death TWICE, he still managed to be a source of drama this season. And while it kinda hindered the team, it gave us a satisfying ending and a bit of justice for Lauren. But now he's  back and it seems he could have a more heroic role as the enforcer. I'd love to see what Destorm can do when he isn't trying to upset Alex. I hope honestly the two of them tag team this season and work together to keep each other safe.

Could he win this season? If he has allies and doesn't antagonize Alex or the others, he could last through the season. Will he? Destorm will do what he does. I am not sure what will go down. He's one of the ones I am not sure about. I hope he comes through with a win. Even if he isn't my first choice.


BRETMAN ROCK
Speaking of not knowing how a person will do. Joey's first twist this summer. Bretman Rock. I had to look him up because I wasn't sure who this handsome human was. HE'S NIKITA'S BFF! If he is anything like his BFFL, he could be in some real danger this season. One, he's a newbie. Two, Nikita was the queen of slamming people. "Oh! Roi's dead! Sorry Hunty! Gotta get tf out of here!" "OMG MANNY BEAT MAT!" "Oh no Safiya's dead? Oh well, guess that serves her right voting me in to get skewered." I am curious to see how this turns out.

I can't tell ya what I think here. He's a makeup boi, but so was Manny and Manny also kicked this games butt! (you know until faced against the Queen Nikita) Time will tell!


JOEY GRACEFFA 
Joey. We get it. This show needs you around, hun. But you are SKETCHY AF every single season! We already know you are making it till the end! NEXT.


ROSANNA PANSINO
When Rosanna was revealed as the first All-Star I knew without a shadow of doubt exactly who my first pick to take this season was. She is literally #TeamCinnamonRoll. We saw a different Rosanna last season from the nerdy girl baking recipes with friends in her kitchen. But she met a tragic death that made us all cry. BUT SHE IS BACK WITCHES! (Her words not mine!) And from what I heard, if you thought last season's Ro was fierce, you ain't seen nothing yet. At least I hope.

Can she win? YES! I need this. Please pull through this!


JUSTINE EZARIK
Season One took a few of our youtubers out of their element. Some of them were not as prepared as others and when Justine was put under fire... She cracked. She was betrayed by her friends while others cried for them to stop. When I saw her face, I was relieved. She deserved to go a little farther than that.

I don't think she will get too far, but I am definitely hoping she makes it far enough to really solidify her place in All-stars for doing something other than getting buried alive. But as I said with Tana, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN and if she is teamed up with her bestie Ro, she could pull off a with #TeamCinnamonRoll!


ALEX WASSABI
If Destorm was a villain, Alex was Season 2's hero along with Gabbie. He was a tragic hero. Lauren was killed in a challenge against Destorm and Destorm shaded him. He went after him and took him out. He was a lot of people's number one pick for that season. But he had to go pick Joey to be his partner. Dude. I just hope he doesn't waste this second chance going after Destorm over some bad blood...

If he teams up with Destorm, they could take out the competition and make it till the end together. But if he chases after his feud with Destorm? I have a feeling if it comes down to the two of them again, Alex will lose.


COLLEEN BALLINGER
Out of everyone here, Colleen is the one I am most excited for. She was the fountain of tea last season and I hope she is again. She was the one who called out Joey for being shady since they had arrived and to be honest, she wasn't wrong. Joey had kept things from them and instead of owning it... He turned everyone against her and got her killed. But of course, this will probably make the tea even hotter. And with help from others she could really heat things up.

Though this might give her a smaller chance at winning. But again! Nikita was a constant source of drama and she made it to the end by all and ever means so... Hopefully we get to enjoy some nice Colleen brewed tea and watch this season boil!



These are just theories and opinions guys. Don't hate me for them! Escape the Night Season Four comes out July 11th on Youtube Originals! I will try and make another post when the trailer comes out and I'll do an analysis of that and possibly a winner prediction! Want to have some good ETN theories or related posts? Check out some of the twitter users who make theories on this show! They are more qualified to make theories as they have been doing it since close to the beginning. Leah Monroe PositiveRemark and Cakebear are just a few of the wonderful theorists out there. These guys helped fuel my obsession with this show since season 2.

Anyway enjoy y'alls sunday and have a great BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

HEROES COLLIDE!

A mechanical whirr and a soft vibration brought Natalie back to consciousness. She had no idea how or when she fell asleep. She tried to open her eyes but couldn’t, they were glued shut with sleep gunk. She brought her arms up to rub the sleep from her eyes and hit her elbow against something. When she was able to see she realized that she wasn’t in a bed. She stared out a small window at solid rock. She put her hands on the door in front of her and looked down. She was in some sort of black stretchy jumpsuit that should have been killing her in the intense heat that she should have been feeling being in an enclosed space for so long. But she was surprisingly cool. She hit her fists against the door, making a small dent, but pulled her hand back when pain shot through her knuckles. Her memory slowly started to come back. She knew who she was. Her name was Natalie… and she wasn’t completely “of Earth”. She wasn’t like all of her friends, but she couldn’t remember what made her different. She looked around her small… place. It wasn’t like there were any people around to compare herself to. She punched the door in front of her, making another dent, and growled.

A soft rumble came from outside her compartment. She pressed herself against the window but couldn’t see anything, as if wherever she was had been buried in solid rock. But she could feel the rumbling getting closer. Suddenly the stones in front of the window started to splinter and crack. She started smacking her palms against the door and as she did the stones fell away from the window letting a little more light in, but not that much. She heard a muffled voice from outside.

“Hello?” She tried to get on her tippy toes and hit the door again, causing it to creak.

She heard a yell, then the door creak again as slowly a fluffy head peeked into the window. “Hello?” As soon as her eyes met the blue eyes of a Border Collie she let out a scream. The Border Collie jumped back and also screamed, falling out of her line of sight. She pushed against the door and it flew open. She peeked out and realized she was suspended in the roof of a rather large cave. She saw the Border Collie splayed out on the floor, dressed in military style civilian dress with a star-spangled bandana tied around the top of his head.

He sat up and rubbed his head, and when he realized Natalie was watching him scrambled up to his feet. “HEY!”

Natalie jumped out of the pod and landed on the floor in front on him barefoot on the damp sandy floor with a loud thump. She took a step forward into the small stream of light peeking through the distant mouth of the cave and looked the dog dead in the eyes. “What?”

There was the slightest glimmer of fear in the dog's eyes, but he extended his paws out to his sides and quickly clapped them shut.

Natalie winced in surprise as rocks came loose from the walls of the cave and rained at her from all sides. The rocks all shattered into pieces as Natalie looked down at herself in bewilderment. “Whoa…”

The dog’s eyes widened and he backed away. “Ohhhhh dog…”

Natalie looked up at him and brushed herself off. “Where do you think you are going?”

He turned around and started to run towards the mouth of the cave. “I am so sorry! I am not hostile I swear!” He tripped over a rock and hit his knee against the ground as she suddenly appeared in front of him. He whimpered and gripped his leg, looking up at her with a pitiful expression. “I am so sorry. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I just was caught off guard.”

Natalie watched him grovel for a few seconds before squatting on the ground next to him. “Probably no more than I am… I don’t even know how I got here…” She looked around the cave as the dog sat up. “Or where here is…”

The Collie looked up at her, still holding his leg. “We’re in Canada. I would tell you exactly what city and province but I don’t think anyone has known that for a long time…”He looked at her. “W-Who the heck are you?”

Natalie sat down next to the dog. “Natalie.”

“Natalie Who? How did you do all of that?” Cason groaned as he saw blood dripping slowly from a small cut on his leg. “Ummm… And can you hand me that bag over there?” He waved his paw over to his bag which had fallen off when he tripped.

Natalie reached over and handed it to him. “I’m not sure. I don’t remember anything except my name.” She watched the dog fumble with his bag and pull out a red bag with a plus on it. “What are you?”

The dog chuckled and hissed as he dabbed up the blood with a cotton swab. “Nice. I am intrigued by who you are and what you can do and all you’re curious about is what I am?”

Natalie put her hands up. “Whoa! I didn’t mean any offense by it. I’ve just… not seen anyone like you before.”

Cason shrugged as he dabbed the cut with another cotton swab he had dipped in rubbing alcohol. “I am a Border Collie. And my name is Cason.” He hissed a little.

Natalie winced as she watched him. “Sounds like that hurts.” She hesitated before using his name “Cason… Do you need some help with that? Is it broken or anything? I can take you to a hospital…”

Cason let out a laugh. “Okay then. Someone must have been inside that claustrophobia-inducing death trap for a while.” He gestured up to the pod she was in.

Natalie’s eyes followed his up toward the pod, but her attention was caught by a makeshift rock staircase that seemed to have jumped from the ground leading up to the pod. She then looked back at Cason. “Wait… Are you a superhero?” After she asked this, so many other questions popped into her head. There were so many pressing matters. Like what happened while she was in that pod. Or maybe she should ask how she ended up in the pod… But why would Cason know that?

Cason listened to her contemplate question after question out loud without her realizing she was even talking out loud before he interrupted her. “Well… Maybe I can answer some of those questions for you… What’s the last thing you remember happening?”

Natalie scratched her head and thought hard, and just when she was about to give up her mind started piecing things together. “It was after we helped stop that huge collision of several alternate universes! The Red Sox had won their third World Series in a row, they came out with that Prince movie…” She thought a little harder. “And Lana Luthor was running for president.”  

Cason’s ears flattened and he coughed, taking a quick sip from his canteen before offering it to Natalie. “We have a lot to catch up on.”

DID YOU LIKE THAT? It's all a part of a possible patreon series I am working on. This is only the first story. I have so many others that I will be posting as soon as I get it up and running! No links yet, but I am hoping there will be some links in the future!

Peace!

Korey Scott Interview

This has been a long time coming.

Korey: IS IT FINALLY MY TURN?!

Yep! Luckily I asked for questions back in December so I have a whole list for you!

Korey: It's about GOSH DARN TIME. Kamryn bragged about telling people deep dark secrets for months. You know if you want to know a secret about her, I have a good one. She's...

NO. No, I am so sorry, but I am going to start asking questions. Kamryn will tell when she is ready. First question... If you had to pick one place in the world to go where would it be?

Korey: I'd love to see another planet. Maybe Mars when it is habitable in like thirty years? But as far as on earth, I'd love to go to Coachella. 

Wow. That's a super basic thing to say. 

Korey: Pretty rich for a guy whose only plans for the future involve possibly going to a furry convention.

Touche... Are you a dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate sort of person? 

Korey: I don't really eat chocolate too often. Which kind do they put in those health bars from Whole Foods?

I think that might be dark chocolate... Correct me later if you find out I am wrong!

Korey: That! Dark chocolate. It's super rich and it's a bit healthier than the other two. I would know. I saw it on Tumblr.

We've talked about believing things on the internet. Anyway! Do you like the outdoors or the indoors better? 

Korey: I like the indoors.

Don't you fly a lot?

Korey: Just because I can fly, doesn't mean I do it all the time.

What do you think of pineapple on pizza?

Korey: I think it is a disgrace to humanity.

Do you hate it just because Kamryn loves it?


Korey: No. I am just allergic to pineapples.

Oh yeah... Forgot about that.

What's your favorite sandwich? 

Korey: I kinda make my own. I start with a BLT on pumpernickel bread. Then I add avacado, swiss cheese, and banana peppers. It is a really good sandwich. 

If you could change your name, would you? And what would you change it to?

Korey: I don't really think I'd want to change my name. Is that weird? I guess I really just like the name I was given... I don't know. Like unless I can legally change my name to Dwayne Johnson...

Nope, We cannot do that. Favorite genre of video game?

Korey: War games. Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War.  

Okay. Now we'll move on to some tough questions. What disappoints you the most? 

Korey: The way I act around my sister... She's made a change or two in the way she lives and we haven't really had a chance to about it. So I have been a little bit weird around her. I don't like it, but I don't know how to stop.

What is your greatest fear?

Korey: The last thing I want to do is lose Kamryn. She's the only thing left. And she doesn't seem to care. She's always putting herself in dangerous situations.

How's it feel to be kidnapped?

Korey: It's helped me sort of find my sister. I will say getting tackled and chloroformed is not very fun though... So not very good.

What would you say your biggest long-term goal in life is?

Korey: Well before being kidnapped, I was trying to get into an athletic program down at our community center. They were doing a course on personal training. I might try to pursue that.

How high have you flown? Is it peaceful up there?

Korey: I haven't tried to fly like HIGH high... But as far as peaceful it's pretty okay as long as you watch out for airplanes.

Thank you so much for answering all these questions!

Korey: No problem, dude. Kamryn won't see this right? 




Thanks for reading. No character interviews are currently planned yet. Want to try and get back to the swing of things. Have a good day!
