Tag Announcement

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Today I wanted to share a few details about a tag I’m working on. And, if you have any ideas, you guys can comment ideas for a title for it because my mind has blanked. Also, this is my 50th post here!

The tag basically is a challenge. To share how fictional characters changed your life. You can create any form of art, writing, drawings, etc. but it must show how they impacted you.

I’m working on an animation for mine and I’m really excited to share it with you!

And because I have no art that goes with this, here’s a random drawing/art print I drew a bit ago.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

The Bibliophile Writer’s Questions

Live alone. I really like the quiet. (And when I get bored, I can sing musicals without people thinking I’m crazy)

3.What is your phobia/Which animal are you afraid of?

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

I live in Tennessee.

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…)

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!

Lilah’s School of Supernatural Creatures part one

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here with the first part of a story I’m writing about supernatural creatures and magic. I hope you guys enjoy it!

I bet you’re wondering how you stumbled on this. You did because you are one of us. A supernatural creature. Like me and my friends. If you can make it to the end of the story, you’ll find out what I’m talking about.

I’ve always been a little different. Kids in my class would chase each other around the playground while I hid in the woods, listening to the trees. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I knew that they were the odd ones and that I was as normal as someone could be. The trees reminded me of that.

That’s why I was ready to leave my hometown and go to The Old City for Lilah’s School of Supernatural Creatures. I was excepted into the school because of me talking to trees. The Headmaster said that I was a Nymph, but it’s up to me to explain that to my classmates and teachers. My first reaction was ”Great! I have to tell the whole school how weird I am.” but, then I thought “Why not let them figure it out?” So, here we are! At Lilah’s School, ready for day one.
