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…)

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, 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…

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

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!

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.

Would you guys like to see more of this? Comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!
