Getting Rid of Gloria Attempt 2
I've heard of quarter life crises. They're like midlife crises, but earlier. I have been putting serious thought into whether or not I'm having one. I've had to admit to myself that the answer is "no", as much as I would like to be able to define myself that easily.
Gloria sat in the back of the car. Why did she have to sit in the back?I liked her where I could see her. There had been that one afternoon when we were kids, standing in the cornfield out behind Sam and Gloria's house. The sun was sinking behind the forested hill and the long thin shadows of the cornstalks were growing longer and thinner. The dry, rickety stalks made it imposs...

Abandoning Preciousness
The most important thing about creating art is to create . If you want to be at ease with creativity, you have to immerse yourself in it, and do a little bit every day. Even if that little bit is only to take five minutes while waiting for the bus to come and do a gesture drawing of a man reading his book across the street from you. Or to take the moment to scribble down a thumbnail rough sketch of a concept that occurs to you. Do a little bit each day. Train your brain to think visually.It can be difficult at first, accustoming yourself to make this small bit of time, because you’ll think:
“I don’t have enough time for it.”
“Art is hard!...

Bullying, the aftermath
BullyingBullying can have long-term effects on people's lives, even once it has stopped. It can cause stress, anxiety, panic attacks, reduced self-esteem and a general loss of confidence. Even family life and relationships can be affected.
The experience of being bullied can end up causing lasting damage to victims. This is both self-evident, and also supported by an increasing body of research. It is not necessary to be physically harmed in order to suffer lasting harm. For the most part, physical damage sustained in a fist fight heals readily, especially damage that is sustained during the resilient childhood years. What is far more diff...

Brain Freeze Part 1 - Union of Justice
Previous Stories: The Mesmerising Miscreant - The Titanic Timekeeper Francine Braid had a great life. It had been fine before, but ever since she was chosen to wield the powers of the Greek Gods, Hypnos and Pasithea, it had become much easier and far more fulfilling. The "Super Hypnosis" she now had access to went far beyond what normal hypnosis was capable of. Rather than a state of extreme focus and openness, Francine could induce a state of absolute obedience, like something out of a movie from the 1930's.
She giggled, partly from the excitement, and partly from the touch of Pamela Hazel. Francine looked down at the redh...

Bounty on The Mutiny - Chapter Forty Five
Rose inspected a roller-bearing closely. She placed three fingers in the central hole and span it with her other hand by glancing the edge of the bearing with sharp, short, practiced swipes to increase the revolutions. It made terrible grinding noises, it looked slightly buckled, it felt on the verge of catching with every spin. It was shot. It was one of four that were shot. There was probably a lot more of the ageing oxy-generation unit which was shot, but she had to pick and choose her battles. Rose made a note on her Prim8 of yet another component which needed to be replaced. It was usually hard to type in suit gauntlets, but the suit...

#QuarantineSucksWelcome back to another episode of ORN. I’m not sick, just for your information and neither is Yaleia. We are currently staying in our house to keep ourselves safe from the COVID-19 outbreak. As such, for the next couple of weeks or so, there will not be any guests on ORN, for fear of spreading the virus.
It’s strange, isn’t it? This virus has been such a huge and immediate threat. Look at how many cases the United States has now. It’s ridiculous. People cannot social distance to save their own lives… literally. This right here is why nothing is being done about climate change. The world isn’t ready ...

The Fox and the Seedrian: A Taismo Story Prologue
Sonic couldn't remember a time when he felt so angry at himself. This rising heat built up in his chest and the back of his throat as he not so much saw but heard his best friend on his hands and knees at his feet get torn to pieces from the inside by his grief.“Cosmo... Cosmo...” Tails' barely whispered out hoarsely.Hearing the fox's breaths come to him in shorter bursts got the hedgehog to open his eyes and look down at him, noticing that his arms were beginning to quiver, and struggle to keep him up. Sonic knelt down, and caught Tails by his armpits just before he passed out and collapsed completely to the floor. As he began to pick him...

TF: Roadhog and Vintage 1
Cybertron was burning.
"Vintage! We have to go NOW!" Roadhog yelled as Decepticon ships began firing on the sector in which he and Vintage called home. Vintage and 'Hog were a special case when it came to Cybertronians.It all started with a spark, the life force that gave this mechanical species its life. Somehow, there had been a fluke with one particular spark. This one was to big for one (even the biggest) Cybertronian to contain. So, it was split, but not quite evenly. In one half, there was Speed, Intellect, but not much Strength.In the other, Massive Strength, Protective Will, but not much Intellect. Granted, all Cybertronians are br...
