Blog: If You’re a Hiker, You Might do These Things

My family is pretty big on hiking. We live in an area were there are plenty of trails relatively nearby and up until a few years ago, we used to go on many hiking and camping trips where we would be eaten by bugs, get massive sunburns because we didn’t put on enough sunscreen, wonder...

Blog: Learning Languages

Ever since 8th grade, I’ve been learning Spanish. Has it been fun? That depends on your definition of fun. If you’re learning it when the curriculum actually teaches you what things are, what they mean, grammar, etc., then yeah, it’s fun. But when it’s attempting to teach you the language via the use of pictures... Continue Reading →

Review: Don Quixote is as Senile as Biden (or Maybe It’s the Other Way Around) (Spoilers)

Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, but just take a moment to think about it. Both Don Quixote and Biden are two old, senile dudes who don’t know where they are, the only difference being that one is at least strong enough to wear armor and fight people and can form a sentence...

Review: Entering the Wonka-verse

Most of us have seen at least one of the adaptations of Roald Dahl's classic children's book, Charlie and the Choclate Factory, a tale of a young boy who finds a golden ticket and is allowed to see the inside of the choclate factory run by the eccentric Willy Wonka. Whether you've seen the 1970's... Continue Reading →

Art Gallery: Cloudy Sky

This was not supposed to turn into a cloudy sky, but I still like it as it is. Originally, this was supposed to be a milky way painting over the sea, but the paint ended up spreading too much. I think it could've been better if I had used less water and lifted more paint... Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking Easter

One idea that seems to be really popular amongst angry, blue-haired, crystal-obsessed cat moms on the internet is the idea that Easter is actually a pagan holiday and was taken over by the Christians to push Christianity onto the people. Their basis for this is the fact that we have culturally adopted things like egg... Continue Reading →

Mythology: What was the Deal with Axe-Wielding Bunnies?

My family loves bunnies. They’re cute, fluffy, come running when they hear a bag crinkle, and magically bring you candy on a certain holiday that we’ll be celebrating this week. However, as cute as these little creatures are, apparently Monty Python and the Holy Grail got it right in suggesting that they are actually ruthless... Continue Reading →

News: We’re Getting Yet Another Spin-Off from Disney…

I feel like I start a lot of posts like this, but around the ages of 9-ish to 11, I was a huge fan of Disney’s Descendants, a series of movies that were based off of the Isle of the Lost series written by Melissa de la Cruz. I watched all the movies, had all... Continue Reading →

Blog: Happy Women’s History Month. People Still Don’t Know What a Woman Is.

At this point, anything having to do with Rick Riordan or his publishing imprint, Read Riordan, has become a reliable content cow for this blog since they just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut about cultural issues that are particularly dangerous for teens. In today’s episode of Rick Riordan/Disney being stupid, I’ll be providing... Continue Reading →

Art Gallery: Glowy Sunset

This was my first painting using guache and watercolor together. I stayed pretty simple with this one, only using techniques that I was familiar with such as stipling for the leaves and bushes in the background and the wet-on-wet technique for the sky. I was very happy with how opaque the black guache was in... Continue Reading →
