The Ramblings of a Quarantined Teenager

A t first, I was thrilled- school was online and all you had to do was occasionally make eye-contact and nod once in a while. No getting up at the ungodly hour of six a.m anymore. But now I realize how it's gone so very wrong. Now, school is just browsing Instagram, a little out of sight, or not even paying attention because "That's ok! I have tuitions!" Our July assessments are going to be digitalized too, and once I heard that, I couldn't even pretend to seriously study anymore. I told my mom about it and she just gave me a look and asked what I was going to do about it. I knew that she knew. It would be wrong to not take advantage of the situation, was what I told her. She simply said that doing it once made it easier to do it in the future- when it wouldn't be as easy to do as it is now. --------------------------- What studying schedule? I'll pick up a textbook sometimes, out of boredom. The only thing I kinda sorta miss about school...

The Story Begins (it's all downhill from there)

Image
T he one thing everyone can agree on is that one random day, billions of years ago, our universe was created. People of science will tell you that there was a tremendous explosion and matter was flung outwards, expanding forevermore. But people of faith will tell you that there rose a celestial being from nothing, willing the universe into creation and making other beings. Or they'll tell you of a golden egg that hatched and spilled forth the contents of space. Maybe they'll tell you of a giant tree on whose branches different worlds rest. Different countries have different mythologies and different beliefs but when talking about the beginning, there emerges a pattern. Join me, Ficguru, as we delve into the stories of the old lands, each with their own versions of how it all started. There are majorly 2 ways the universe is said to have been created- 1) By a being risen from an empty pit 2)From the 'world egg' From what I've noticed, other...

Fanfiction sites and Everything in between!

Image
Fan Fiction noun noun:  fan fiction ; noun:  fanfiction fictional literature written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, film, etc A s a digital writer and reader, you must have tried comparing 'Fanfiction.net' (a.k.a- ff.net) and 'Archive of Our Own'(a.k.a- ao3)- two of the most popular sites for posting fan-fiction (ie; stories where we say screw it and mess with our fav books/movies/fandoms/bands,etc).  Well, you don't have to compare it on your own because I'm here to do it for you! In the end, I hope you find about the pros and cons of both sites and which one might be the best one for you! Logo for Fanfiction.net Logo for ao3        In the steadily popularizing world of online fiction, 'Ff.net' and 'ao3' are two sources for authors to publish their works for any known fandom(the following of some popular show, movie, book series, etc) or for readers trying to f...

What's up hunters, ghouls and vengeful ghosts! How excited are you for season 15 of Supernatural? Not quite as heartbroken though, with this being the final season and all.... But for now, all we can do is speculate, speculate and......Speculate. Supernatural season 15 episode 7 titled "Last Call" is releasing on December 5th and we have tons of promos to, well...Speculate. Let's begin with breaking down the video. This  is the link to the official promo vid for this episode- check it out and then come back for some...dun dun dun...SPECULATION. WARNING- SPOILERS FOR EPISODE & FROM THE PROMOS. In the first scene, we see Dean flipping through his phone probably looking for a case (hopefully out of his funk from the last episode) when he finds one article-  For those that don't know, raptured means  a state or experience of being carried away by overwhelming emotion. Sirens, Incubi, and djinns are the only monsters we know that can...

What's up hunters, ghouls and vengeful spirits! I return with the second part to my previous blog-  Speculating For Supernatural! A breakdown of the promos for 15;07 Part 1 where we discussed the breakdown of the official promo vid for the new episode. Check it out here.   In this piece, We're gonna discuss the sneak-peek pictures I found. Let's get to it! WARNING- SPOILERS FOR SEASON 15 OF SUPERNATURAL 1) Is Sam okay? (Also, Eileen's back, yay!)  In our first pic we see a bed-ridden Sam being taken care of by Eileen Leahy- the formerly dead hunter who escaped hell in the newest season. For those who don't know, Eileen made her season 15 appearance in episode 6 as a ghost, who was then given her body back via a spell. This peek also tells us that Sam's not doing so great (with his bullet wound and alternate ending visions and stuff).  On the plus side, more Sam+ Eileen cuteness!                 ...

The Area 51 raid of September '19 (The Biggest Meme this Month and what You need to Know About it)

Image
WE'RE GONNA SEE THEM ALIENS  (talking about the viral 'Area 51' meme) So what's the hype about? Over the past few days, countless memes have taken over social media platforms like Instagram (I don't have any other to check) but what does it mean?  The origin of this meme was this Facebook post- The user has set an event on 20th September, this year to storm Area 51 (a military base in Nevada America that is suspected to hide aliens and alien technology) in which they say that everybody will gather at the Area 51 guest and tour center. The "raid's" "Strength" lies in numbers and the army "Won't be able to stop 'em all".  Surprisingly, more than 850K users were interested and about a million already signed up to go for the event and thus began the circulation of the biggest meme this month. Examples of such memes-                                     In fact,...

Types of People You can Find in a School

L et's face it, we all have that one classmate who can joke their way out of anything or that extremely nerdy person who's basically a walking fandom dictionary and last but not least, that K-Pop stalker  fan. But what do they remind a seasoned bookworm or movie lover of? Why their favorite characters of course! Methinks thou shalt introduce thyself now fair scripter. And here's where my sort-of-Shakespearean comes in handy ;p I bid thee sweet morn or eve, 'tis I, FictionGuru: Mistress of words and enslaver of ideas. That sounded wrong.  Oh well, I'm done with boosting my ego and I'm ready to move on!  Are you? Your guide to, well...Everything is back except she's back with a twist- In this blog, I'm going to talk about the classmates that everyone gives names to in their head (Not in a mean way tho) The Ringleader Let's start with an oldie but a goodie- 'The Ringleader'. A.k.a, the person most likely to start an illeg...
