Atychiphobia, the fear of failure or not being good enough.

IBALBOE’s Questions

What is your favorite film and/or TV show?

High School Musical The Musical The Series! I’ve said this multiple times, but this show is really special to me.

Would you rather be able to only reread books or never reread books (so only read new books)?

Probably never reread. I don’t think I could handle not being able to read something new.

What made you decide to start blogging?

I wanted to share my art. Most art sharing apps my dad tried were 17+ so I couldn’t get them. So I decided to start a blog for my art!

What is your go-to food for when you’re feeling sad?

Almost anything sweet. (Not after 9:00 or I’ll be up until dawn)

What is a hobby that you have that you don’t talk about on your blog much?

I love to play the drums! I also used to play the piano and want to learn guitar.

What is your opinion on houseplants?

I love them and I need more of them. I have two in my room at the moment.

What is your biggest irrational fear?

Umm, I don’t know! Probably that I’m annoying people by talking too much.

What is something that makes you feel nostalgic?

Scooby-Doo! I used to watch this almost daily during the summer. We recently watched Scoob and I was getting flooded with memories. (highly suggest you watch Scoob)

What is one area that you have a lot of knowledge on? (eg astronomy, cooking, the Simpsons)

Disney! That’s one of the many reasons that my cousin and I started a Disney podcast.

Who is your favorite blogger?

How dare you make me choose! I won’t choose one, so I’ll give you a list.

I nominate…

Explaining my header/site icon

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. After redoing my header and site icon, I thought it would be fun to explain all of the things I drew. So, without further ado, what the heck my header means!

So, the first things that catch my eye whenever I look at it are the wildcat symbols I originally had them just rainbow, but you couldn’t see the colors very well, so I dunked the inside black. The reason I put them on there is HSM has always been one of my favorite DCOMs, and HSMTMTS is one of my main fandoms at the moment.

Next is at the very center. My logo! A succulent, because I love them, rainbow glasses, because I have them in real life, music notes/headphones, because I’m constantly listening to music, a Hufflepuff scarf, my Hogwarts house, and the pansexual flag!

On either side of the text is a trident, a reference to Percy Jackson, another one of my main fandoms.

Now on to the really fun stuff. I really love the bookshelves. They have a ton of references and items that are special to me. Plus the books make a rainbow if you put them side by side. Let’s start on the left one!

First, there’s an inkwell. Inkwells are used to represent writing in tons of media, so I thought it would be cool to have one in here. Then I put a picture of a sunflower because they’re my favorite flower. Next is a tiny, really hard to draw, Hamilton poster thingy and my bucket of pencils. Then an owl, because I was obsessed with them for a while, and a plant because I love plants!

On to the right. Up first is the Bureau of Balance symbol. Then a flyer for the Hunters of Artemis, a Mickey Mouse love is love sign that I really wish I owned, another plant, and my jar of wands from Harry Potter themed birthday parties. Last, but not least, there are two musical quotes: Awesome! Wow! And: I’d rather be me!

And that’s the reason behind everything on my header. So, on to the site icon!

Just my logo from above, but without the headphones! (The pan flag’s colors are out of order…)

Book Review (Drum Roll, Please!)

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I don’t know if I’ve talked about this book before, but I’m going to. So, get ready for my rant.

Find the book HERE!

The Characters

The characters are all well developed and they’re all different. Every single character has a defining characteristic that makes them, them! They are relatable and funny.

The Plot

Overall, with no spoilers, this book is about Milly, who goes to a music camp with her best friend, Olivia, to find other kids who love music.

The book is amazing and super fun. I loved reading about the rivalries, friendships, and even romances start between the characters. The plot is great.

One thing that made it fun

I think that it’s really fun that it’s a book for younger people that includes an LGBT+ couple that’s treated relatively like a straight couple.

Rating

I rate this book… (drum roll, please!)

9/10!

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

First draft book tag!

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Yes, I’m doing another tag. But, this time, I was actually tagged by MADELINE! She’s awesome. This is actually one of her original tags!

RULES: 

  • Credit the creator of the tag (The Bookish Mutant)
  • You can use her graphics (which I’m doing)
  • Answer the questions to the best of your ability
  • Tag as many people as you want
  • Have fun, and keep on reading and writing! The world needs your creativity!

I always thought the concept of Rick Riordan’s books were super fun. I love the modern characters mixed with the ancient gods/esses and myths.

Anything nonfiction always takes me forever to read. Historical fiction is fun, though.

(Hahahaha, not me)

Any books with plot twists, that actually surprise me, seems really well thought out, in my opinion.

(there I am!)

I’m just going to say, Magnus Chase. In the first, like, five or six chapters, he died.

Um, I have no clue.

Nate Expectations by Tim Federle! (highly suggest)

I tag…

The Elements (Comic)

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here. I have a super fun announcement. I’m starting a comic! For now, it will only be posted here, but I’d love to post on a webtoon app/website someday. I’m currently working on the story. I’m sorry if my posts aren’t as good for a while, I’m going to be working mainly on this and a few of my other projects.

I’m really excited to share this with you! Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Sunflower drawing

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here. I started art journaling! It’s really cool because there are no restrictions and I can do whatever the heck I want in it. Write out the lyrics to my favorite song? Check. Quote Hamilton endlessly? Check. Draw thousands of sunflowers? Check! Here’s a digital drawing of one!
