“But wasn’t that what every girl dreamed? That she’d wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people who lived those lives… But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”

—Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

This quote. It makes me happy.

3 Days, 3 Quotes Challenge Day 1

Hello, peoples of the universe!

I was tagged for this in April by Sophia Ismaa (At least, I think I was. In my notes, it says that I was tagged on Day 2, but I could only find the link for Day 3. *Shrugs* Even if I wasn’t tagged by her, you should go check out her blog) and in July by the wonderful H.R.R. Gorman.

I have more than three quotes I want to share. *Pouts*

Impossibility is a thing that begs to be disproven.

—V.E. Schwab, A Gathering of Shadows

When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable.

—Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

These quotes are lovely. They appeal to me because they’re lovely. (and anything is possible.)

Create-A-Story Tag

Greetings, nonexistent readers! The wonderful Who… Am I? tagged me for this wonderfully unique tag. And I’m going to write a short story for all you marshmallows with NO PLANNING WHATSOEVER. Prepare for it to suck (but hopefully be amusing anyway).

My Combination: Station, Sea, and Comedy.

(Did you guys expect me to choose anything other than comedy?)

Station wagons apparently don’t work that well in the sea, as I’m finding out right about now. It’s rather unfortunate, but there’s nothing else to be done as fish, such as myself, don’t work quite well on land. But if an empty station wagon randomly drops from the sky like a bag of flour (long story), then what’s a fish to do other than abduct said station wagon? It’s not like we get a lot of them around these parts. It’s a bit more humid than a station wagon’s usual habitat, so they tend to avoid the ocean.

But like most other species, there are some individuals that tend to be somewhat more reckless than the general population, giving the general population a bad reputation, leading to the general population being disappointed in the certain individual and shunning them, leaving them alone to lead a life of misery and loneliness, and possibly crime. A prime example of such an individual would be the station wagon, and another would be me.

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal for station wagons to fly. I don’t know about you, but it’s not often that you find them in the sky. Or in the ocean. And it’s definitely quite illegal for fish to steal station wagons. Not that I see a motive for a fish to steal a station wagon. Because as I said, station wagons don’t work that well underwater, so, therefore, a practical fish wouldn’t see the point of risking their reputation to steal a station wagon that wouldn’t work anyway. You drop a cherry-red Ferrari from the sky though, and I bet even the most rational fish would attempt to take it.

My incurable loneliness and criminal record and general disregard for rules and all that are beside the point, though. The point is that this station wagon is sinking and I’m stuck inside. &%#, I wish this were a convertible.

But, you know, I’m an optimist. Maybe wrongfully so, but I still am. At least I don’t have to be afraid of drowning. But, I do have to have to be afraid of the Porpoise Police Force that I see quickly approaching in the rear-view mirror. Because, you know, I’ve just stolen this station wagon.

The station wagon finally finishes its descent and it thunks to the ocean floor, raising a cloud of dust that blocks the windows. When it clears, a Porpoise Police Officer is waiting outside the window. She bangs on the window and mouths at me to roll it down. I mouth back that I can’t. She rolls her eyeballs. I imagine her as a taxidermied porpoise with her eyes as glass marbles that fall out of her head and roll around the ground until an ominous, but vague and undefined, force plucks them off the ground and makes me eat them. I gag. She cringes. She smashes the window in with a conveniently-placed hammer she found in the back pocket of the pants she wasn’t wearing and I swim out.

“You have a license, sir?”

“No, madame.”

She glances at me over the top of her glasses.

“That’s fine. We’re sea creatures.”

---

Okay, that’s it. Abrupt ending. I have no idea where I was going with that. They were the words that my traitorous fingers wanted to write with NO PLANNING WHATSOEVER.

Hopefully, it wasn’t that bad.

Anyway, I’m Tagging…

Harry Potter Book Tag

Who doesn’t like Harry Potter?

People who haven’t read Harry Potter.

Many thanks to the always fantastic Sophia Ismaa for tagging me in this wonderful tag so all you nonexistent readers can finally learn the sought-out information of how I answer these questions. Go check out her blog, peeps!

---

Which house are you in?

Gryffindor! Really, I feel like I could fit in any of the houses, but Pottermore says I’m in Gryffindor, so *shrugs*.

---

What is your Patronus?

It’s an adder! Adder and Gryffindor is an interesting combination.

---

What is your wand?

Sycamore wood with a Dragon heartstring core 12 ½” and Slightly Springy flexibility.

The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored,’ and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore’s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world’s most highly-prized wand woods.

As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

This seems accurate.

---

What would your boggart be?

A giant worm.

Jk. 😉

---

What position would you play in Quidditch?

The person in the stands who was forced to come by her friends and brought a book and is reading and being grouchy instead of watching the game. Or the announcer. Maybe. Possibly.

---

Would you be pureblood, half-blood, or muggle born?

I don’t think it really makes a difference.

---

What job would you like to have after graduating from Hogwarts?

No idea. An author, perhaps? Same as in the muggle world.

---

Which of the deathly hallows would you choose?

I’d love to have an invisibility cloak, but I’d probably use it for stupid stuff.

---

Favorite book?

Order of the Phoenix or Half-Blood Prince.

---

Least favorite book?

Sorcerer’s Stone. (Sorry.) I generally liked the books more as the series continued. I was meh about the first couple.

---

Favorite film?

I haven’t watched all the movies. (Sorry.) I watched most of them while they were showing the entire series in a row on TV, but I wasn’t done reading the books yet, so I didn’t watch all of them. On top of that, we were in New York at my aunt’s house so it was loud and I was busy and my grandma was freaking out about the hippogriffs and moving staircases and whatnot and trying to turn off the TV. So I watched them kinda on and off, I don’t remember most of it, and I, therefore, do not have a favorite movie.

---

Least favorite film?

See above question.

---

Favorite character?

LUNA LOVEGOOD.

---

Least favorite/most hated character?

Least favorite: Percy Weasley for being annoying.

Most hated: ?? There are so many to hate. Probably Voldemort.

---

Favorite teacher at Hogwarts?

Lupin. He was by far the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

---

Do you have any unpopular opinions about the series?

I didn’t really get into the series until the fifth book… I only really continued through the first four because everyone had been telling me to read it for years.

I also don’t think Dumbledore is that amazing.

 

The Sunshine Blogger Award

I was nominated for this award by the amazing Sophia Ismaa Writes. Go check out her blog because she’s simply amazing.

P.S. Sophia nominated me for this in February, so apologies for being extremely overdue. If this were a library, my fine would be quite hefty.

---

What is The Sunshine Blogger Award?

It’s an award given to bloggers who bring creativity, sunshine, and positivity to the lives of readers.

---

RULES

1. First of all, thank the blogger who has nominated you and link to their blog in your post.
2. Answer the 11 questions asked by the blogger.
3. Nominate 11 more blogs, who you think should be given this award.
4. List the rules and the logo of the award on your post or in your blog.

Questions

1) What is something that excites you these days?

So many things excite me! Cactus, kittens, Iceland, bronze thread, dark chocolate, mint, new food (especially desserts), SUGAR, new music, old music, etc.

2) What is your spirit animal?

One sec.

Me (To Google): What, exactly, is a spirit animal?

Google: ………[definition of a spirit animal]…….. Got it?

Me: I’m still confused…

My Patronus is an adder?

3) What is the best advice someone has given you?

I can’t remember. This is worrisome.

4) What was your first blog post and would you change anything about it now?

Gah. What have you done? You’re going to make me share my first blog post?!

*Melts in embarrassment*

This is the blogging equivalent of your parents showing your classmates your baby pictures.

The Home Page

Okay, so many things wrong with this. First, it wasn’t even on the home page. I didn’t know the difference between the home page and a post. Second, it wasn’t put in a category and it was tagged with only “home page”. Third, ~two hundred posts later, I’m glad my writing style has improved.

5) What is your favorite post ever written?

Solving all Your Stupid Problems

6) Which philosopher just gets you?

um…

7) Where are you from?

I was born in Canada, but I grew up in a smallish town in Michigan and I recently moved to a different, slightly larger but still smallish town in Michigan and I left Spinette behind. *quiet weeping*

8) What inspired you to start blogging?

My very first blog was started two years ago on a school field trip and it died in about three weeks. You could say my teacher inspired me to start blogging.

9) Who is your favourite person in the world and why?

Spinette because she’s awesome.

10) How would the people closest to you describe you?

It depends who you ask. If you ask Scorpion, he’d say annoying. If you ask my friends, they’d hopefully say that I’m quiet, but funny.

11) Invent your own question and answer it!

The answer is moaning iguanas.

Spring Cleaning Book Tag

Let’s all pretend that this is actually the Summer Cleaning Book Tag because I’m awful at doing tags in a timely fashion and now it’s summer.

I was tagged by the always lovely Sophia Ismaa. Everyone go to her blog and shower her with digital chocolate.

• Please link back to Daniel @ Page to Page
• Respond to the scenarios
• Tag 5 people (or however many you like)

THE TAG

It’s time to make your bed, but you’re going to have some friends over later and want to pick the perfect book to place on your nightstand for them all to see that you’re “reading”. Which book do you choose?

I choose Six of Crows because I will use every opportunity to shove this book down the throats of every human being I see.

 

Oh no! The house needs dusting, but you just can’t put that book you’re reading down! What book would you buy on audio just so you could continue the story while cleaning?

It probably wouldn’t be fair to pick Six of Crows again… I’ll go with A Conjuring of Light, then. It was unputdownable. Which is definitely a word.

 

Darn it! The ceiling is leaking! Turns out Mass-Market Paperbacks are the best things to soak water up! Which popular book do you use to soak up the water?

Ready Player One because it’s my brother’s book, not mine, and I don’t really care for it either. Undeveloped minor characters, annoying lead, and boring plot is a recipe for a sacrificable book.

 

Bathrooms need a good scrubbing, and your 2007 Cosmos are a little outdated and need replacing. What book do you place in the bathroom for some light reading for when people need to take care of business?

A picture book about potty training.

 

Family is coming over, but you have no idea what to make for dinner! You read somewhere that tearing up the last chapter of a book whose ending you hated and sprinkling it in a casserole dish makes for the perfect meal! Which book do you choose?

The Book Thief. I wish the ending never happened. And if you don’t know what I”m talking about, go read the book right now.

 

Organization is key, right? When it comes time to organize your bookshelf, you realize you have enough room (and money) to get three new books! Which books do you buy?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, and The False Prince. The first two are books I’ve been planning to read for ages, but never got around to, and the third because it’s one of my favorites and I’d love to have my own copy.

 

Finally, some peace and quiet! But, before you can relax, you realize you forgot to send your Aunt a thank you gift for the lovely “ADULT LIFE FOR DUMMIES” book she gave you for Christmas (maybe she’s trying to tell you something?). What book do you send to her to show her how much (this is sarcasm) you appreciate her gift?

You know that picture book about potty training that everyone has been handling while they’re taking care of business? Yeah? That one.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words.

A Book That Wasn’t Or Couldn’t Be Better Than The Movie.

I rarely ever watch the movie after reading the book. The only one I can think of is Giver, but I equally despised the book and movie.

So… pass?

---

The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side.

A Rags To Riches Or Riches To Rags Story.

The False Prince

I can’t really talk about why this fits into the category without giving away spoilers, but this is one of my favorite books. I love the characters. Everyone, go read it.

---

The Apple Does Not Fall Far From The Tree.

A Parent-Child Relationship That You Love

To Kill a Mockingbird

Scout and Atticus’s relationship is adorable. I read mostly fantasy, and a lot of those have absent parents, so this was a harder category to choose for.

I could’ve gone with Keeper of the Lost Cities, too, but I felt that the category would be more appreciated if I picked a book you guys have (probably) heard about.

---

You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover

A Great Book That Needs A Better Cover

The Pact

I’m currently reading this book, and it’s been lovely so far. But seriously, that cover sucks. Just ugh. Look at the color scheme! They do have a different version with a much better cover, so I’m glad they figured out that this one kinda sucks.

---

You Can’t Please Everyone

A Book You Hate That Everyone Loves

Ready Player One

I could’ve gone with Giver, but I also despise Ready Player One. *Shrugs*

Reasons I despise Ready Player One

• The characters weren’t developed
• The characters weren’t interesting
• The main character was insufferable
• The plot was bland
• I didn’t get most of the references and it was written like it expected me to
• The plot
• Ugh
• I don’t even like the concept
• It should’ve gone into more detail about the apocalypse. The beginning where it was described is probably my favorite part.
• The ending was too neat
• The characters
• It wasn’t thrilling
• I didn’t like the writing style. It was tell, not show. It didn’t go into much depth with the descriptions and it was hard to imagine things properly.

Moving on.

Ignorance Is Bliss.

A Book That Is Bad But You Just Don’t Want To Admit It.

King’s Cage

This series is so close to me as it was my introduction to the wonderful world of YA. I love Red Queen and it was one of my favorite books, but the series quickly went downhill and it definitely has a lot of flaws. But I’m going to pretend it’s good.

Also, War Storm just came out yesterday! Squeeeee. I apologize for my squealing. Sadly, I won’t be able to read it until June, or maybe even July. *Sobs*

My Name in TBR Books Tag

Hey guys! Today’s post is going to be short because I have to write a four-page essay. *Commence miniature melt-down*

(I’ve actually already finished the essay and am in the proof-reading stage. I’m just in the post-essay writing freak-out phase.)

The lovely Cat on the Bookshelf tagged me for this one exactly one month ago. (I’m so bad at doing tags in a timely matter. Don’t hate me.)

For this tag, you’re supposed to spell out your name with books on your TBR. Unfortunately, half of my TBR is floating somewhere in the great depths of my mind so this might be a bit tricky.

So, let us begin!

Inside Out Tag

Heyo nonexistent peeps! I was tagged for this by the wonderful Kelly @ Another Book in the Wall way back in January (That was ages ago. Back before tech-o-nology hit the world like a really heavy telephone booth. Gosh, I’m old).

… I didn’t particularly like the movie …

Please don’t hate me.

Okaaaaay. Moving on to the TAG!

A Book That Brings You Joy: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue

This book was so adorable. *Incoherent squealing*

The characters were so adorable.

The story was so funny.

*More incoherent squealing* This book was ridiculously adorable and funny.

---

A Book That Brings You Sadness: The Book Thief

 *Insert sobbing*

Go read this book right now.
The characters are beautiful and the writing is beautiful and everything is beautiful.

---

A Book That Makes You Angry: Matched

I’m going to agree with Kelly and say that Matched brings me anger equivalent to the size of Jupiter.

I’ll admit it, I choose books by their covers occasionally. Sometimes I find amazing books this way, like Keeper of the Lost Cities or The Girl Who Could Fly, and sometimes I end up with books like this one.

The cover is beautiful. A+ for cover.

F- for everything else.

It’s like a poorly written Giver fan fiction with a ridiculous love triangle and the most instantaneous of insta-loves.

One of the worst decisions I made in my life was to finish this book and then completely finish the sequel. What was I thinking?! The sequel was EVEN WORSE. And I didn’t think you could get worse than this.

I decided that I was going to accept that some books just didn’t deserve to be finished after I read this mess in its entirety.

---

A Book That Disgusts You: Crossed

Yup. It’s the sequel to Matched and it was even worse.

And I read the whole thing.

*Shudders*

The whole thing was the characters running through a canyon. I think it was supposed to be exciting?

---

 

A Book That Brings You Fear: A Conjuring of Light

I don’t really read horror books. The only one I can think of is The Night Gardener and that wasn’t particularly scary.

I was really scared on behalf of the characters in A Conjuring of Light.

---

I’m Tagging…

EVERYONE! Yes, you. And you. And even you back there with the overalls and that absurdly large lollipop.

My Bookish Identity, A Book Tag

I was tagged for this by the wonderful Kelly | Another Book in the Wall. Check her out, nonexistent readers, she’s got brilliant posts.

What Dystopian/Fantastical World Would You Want to Live In?

As much as I love books, I probably wouldn’t want to live in most of these worlds. I mean, they’re insane, and I’d rather be chilling out and doing nothing, not running for my life, thank you very much.

But if I had to choose, I’d probably go with the wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter in a time of peace, ’cause you gotta love Hogwarts.

Who Would Your Partner Be?

Keefe Sencen from Keeper of the Lost Cities, because Keefe is the absolute best thing in the fictional universe.

Who Would Be Your Godly Mother/Father [Percy Jackson]? (Quiz)

Okay, guys, I’m going to admit something here. I’ve only read the first book in the Percy Jackson series and I despised it.

I got Hades.

I could really use some emojis right now.

You know what, it makes a lot of sense.

 

Would You Be a Downworlder or Nephilim [Shadowhunter World]? (Quiz)

I haven’t read this either, so no idea what this means.

Okay, I’ve just found out this is a TV series, which just further illustrates my point.

I’m a Shadowhunter! Yay?

 

Which Hogwarts House Would You Be In [Harry Potter]?

The Pottermore quiz told me I’m a Gryffindor.

 

Which Faction Would You Be In [Divergent]? (Quiz)

I haven’t read this either… But I’m planning to soon!

 

I got Divergent! (Whatever that means)

You deviate from the norm. The aptitude test is inconclusive. It cannot determine just one faction for you, Divergent. Your mind is ceaselessly changing. You’re creative, with a strong sense of self, and you have a clear picture of who you are and what you want. You stand out from the crowd. You may pose a threat to the norms of society, but you are unwilling to give into them.

Sounds about right.

 

What Would Be Your Daemon [Northern Lights]? (Quiz)

You guessed it! I haven’t read this either.

Well, okay. Ospreys are cool birds. I relate with the woodpecker more, though.

Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag (Arachnid Edition)

Greetings, nonexistent readers!

I have been tagged by the lovely aceshadowdragon to do this tag, so check out her blog too. It’s about books and stuff. 😉

Ze Rules

• Choose 5 books!
• Randomly set up your books in order.
• Flip to a random page in the book and write the first two names you see.
• Put the names in the categories listed below in the order you saw them.
• Cry at how screwed you are…

 

Some Books:

1. Lawless by Jeffrey Salane
2. Keeper of the Lost Cities Lodestar by Shannon Messenger
3. Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
4. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
5. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

 

The First Person to Die

M from Lawless.

Nope. I don’t see this. M is too slippery to die.

 

The Person You Trip to Get Away From ze Zombies

Cal from Lawless.

Yep, I’d probably trip him to get away. I’d trip quite a number of people to get away.

 

The Person That Trips YOU to Get Away From ze Zombies

Keefe from Lodestar.

Keefe would never trip anyone! To think so is an insult. He would probably go and stand in front of the zombies to buy everyone else a couple extra seconds.

 

The First Person to Turn into a Zombie

Mr. Forkle from Lodestar.

This is probably not true, but I don’t particularly care either way.

 

The Idiot of ze Team

Nikolai from Ruin and Rising.

This is a lie if I’ve ever heard one. Nikolai is the most cunning and calculating character in the book and if anything, he’d be the leader of the team.

 

The Brains of the Team

David from Ruin and Rising.

This is actually the most accurate one thus far. It’s scarily accurate.

David is so smart, he could make anything. He’s totally the brains of the team, but he’d probably get eaten first as well because he has many brains and he is also generally unathletic.

P.S. Haha. Puns. 🙂

 

The Medic

Caeser Flickerman from The Hunger Games.

Hmm. When I was reading The Hunger Games, Ceaser Flickerman never came across as a medic to me…

If he’s the best medic on our team, we’re probably screwed, although I suppose laughter is the best medicine.

 

The Weapons Expert

Peeta from The Hunger Games.

Meh. He’s okay I suppose. I’d leave the weapons stuff to Katniss, but she was not chosen for this tag.

 

The Brawler

Cal from Red Queen.

First, this is a different Cal from the other Cal from Lawless. How interesting that two Cal’s were chosen for this tag.

Second, I’m not entirely sure what “The Brawler” would entitle. I think it’s someone who picks a fight and is good at it, so we’ll just answer this question using that definition.

So according to that definition, I think this is semi-right. Cal would be good in a fight, great perhaps, depending on the opponent, but I don’t think he’d be the one to pick the fight.

 

Ze Leader

Mare from Red Queen.

She’d be a decent leader, but not the best. As I’ve said before, I think Nikolai would be a much better fit for this role.

 

And Because I Can…

If I could assign the roles on my zombie-defeating team instead of fate, here’s how it would be:

First to die: Keefe (But he’s one of my favorite characters of all books ever and this is so sad, but he’d probably still sacrifice himself.)

Person you’d trip: Mr. Forkle (I’m not particularly attached to him.)

Person that trips you: Cal from Lawless

First to turn into a zombie: Caeser Flickerman

Idiot: Mare

The one with brains: David

Medic: M (I don’t think she has any medical experience though. I’d pick Yrene Towers from Tower of Dawn.)

Weapons expert: Cal from Red Queen

Brawler: Peeta (This doesn’t really match. I’d pick Celaena Sardothien from Throne of Glass or Mal from Siege and Storm if I could.)

Leader: Nikolai

 

I’m Tagging…

Plot Monster

Mr and Mrs NW

and whoever else wants to do it.

Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag (Spinette Edition)

I’m what you call the Reader That Judges a Book by its Back Cover. Usuall, I don’t really have time to read books but when I do, I love to read them. So here is a book tag! We were tagged by the reptile who is good at cards, otherwise known as aceshadowdragon.

RULES:

1.Choose five books.

2. Randomly set up your books in order.

3. Flip to a random page in the book and write the first two names you can see.

4.Put the names in the categories listed below in the order you saw them.

5.And…cry at how screwed you are? (I’d rather dream about the bottoms of their feet!)

 

My favorite books that occupy my bookshelf:

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

One Punch Man, Volume 1 by Yusuke Murata

King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard

Replica by Lauren Oliver (both Lyra and Gemma)

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

 

The First One to Die?

Mickey Mouse, The Da Vinci Code. He is small and insignificant, a tiny detail of Langdon’s watch.

The person you trip to get away from the zombies?

Lyra, Replica. She’s an avid reader, but otherwise has no other redeeming qualities that could wash out her whole “I don’t really do much…” thing. So seeing her as useless, I will do what is appropriate and kick her out of our otherwise capable group of characters. Also her appearance is rather foul (I judge people on looks—it shows how neat or sloppy one is, their living conditions, the amount of money they have, but this is an argument for another time) and a bother to imagine.

The person who trips YOU to get away from the zombies?

Maven, King’s Cage. He is a demented meanie, so he would probably trip all of our zombie survival group. To be more precise, he would do that cliche plan in the movies where one person moves in as bait, and use me as the bait and once the zombie is safely SUCKING ON MY BRAINS, Maven will pass by whistling, using all of my flaws against me to clear his name.

The first person to become a zombie?

Cath, Fangirl. She’s not actually that wimpy, it’s just that I think she would be really nervous in her situation. Most probably, the anxiety will infect her brain before the zombie does, turning her into sweaty fan-fiction writing putty. For a couple of days she will live off a diet of granola bars, which I may remark is pretty impressive, but honestly not as impressive as what the rest of the group will have in store. I imagine her zombie-fication like this: In the middle of the night a zombie will find her snoozing on her computer, playing Kanye West in an attempt to relive her stress, and then eat her!

The idiot of the team?

Levi, Fangirl. Such a power couple aren’t they? The OTP for the zombies! As both of them will die first. He will make up jokes, eat too many survival granola bars, and oddly recite Cath’s fanfiction from memory in blurbs. Even if he is great with Cath, he will annoy the rest of the group to death. Most likely his bad choices will get him to be a zombie with his girlfriend one day.

The brains of the team?

Langdon, The Da Vinci Code. He is a Harvard professor! His various knowledge of symbols, religion, the Renaissance, and conspiracy theories will totally help us in the pursuit of chasing off zombies. Beside his off-the-edge smarts, he has a very well trained eye and can keep lookout for any zombies coming our way. Just don’t get him side tracked with topic of Christianity and he will be a great advisor to our group.

The team’s medic?

72, Replica. Otherwise known as Caelum, this boy will make the best medic. He has seen the nurses do their job at the Haven Institute. Fate picked him for this position is because it had no one else to put here. Good thing I found this little blurb to justify the answer: “He traced the long curve of her earlobe, and then moved a finger down her neck, pressing lightly as though to feel her pulse beating up through his hand. And everywhere he touched, she imagined she was healed. She imagined the disease simply vanishing, evaporating, like water under the sun.” He will heal Lyra, whom I tripped earlier.

The weapons expert?

Evangeline, King’s Cage. Her dresses are deadly. In our zombie survival group she will make us super cool metal dresses to stab the zombies with! We will be like Big Hero 6 except we will be much more stylish, fabulous, and deadly. Doubled with her ability to fling shrapnel, nothing will stop her from being a weapon expert. Hopefully, her rude attitude will not get us into trouble.

The brawler?

Crablante, One Punch Man. He’s big, strong, and has a temper to fit the part! I imagine him crushing zombies out of colossal rage. Also, since he has no brains, he will be a great choice for offense.

The team leader?

Saitama, One Punch Man. This should need no explanation. He can just destroy the armies of zombies with a single punch!

I tag all people who feel like doing this.
