༄▾╰╮Area Of Challenge
Creating a comfortable Fall-scape
may be difficult if you neglect small
details for the bigger picture.
Ensure you aren't doing this but
ing that your characters
are experiencing this world you've
created in realtime. Your characters
don't simply go get coffee and
that's it. Not notice smaller details,
like the tiredness in the baristas
eyes, the overwhelming smell of
pumpkin, and even the giggle of
sugar hyped children in the shop.
Your characters experience the
world you create in the same
manner, they feel the warmth of
a bonfire, the chilly breeze
carrying the thick scent of ever-
green trees and the apple cider
across the way. Your characters
see and hear the crunch as they
step through a freshly blown pile
of fallen leaves in the park, they
see couples out for picnics, see
fewer and fewer ducks at the
nearby pond, they see birds
flying south for winter and
squirrels running about to
prepare for winter coming.
Be sure that when creating
your worlds that you don't
neglect the smaller details
to indicate to your readers
that "it's fall" without necessarily
needing to say so.
It's imperative that when
creating a world that breathes
the crisp air of fall, one needs to
that coziness does not
only equal indicators by way of
costuming and dialogue. When
you are writing your piece, you'll
want to be conscious of the kind
of fall setting you're trying to
create. This means that you'll
want to ensure your piece has
appropriate weather for the
setting. As a person living in
South Carolina, I can guarantee
than fall tends to be far more chilly
and rainy than crisp breezes
and sunny weather.
You basically need to research
and understand what fall looks
like in the main location you're
writing about and then create
cues based on that. If you have
a "traditional" Fall-scape, you
might have a character in boots,
jeans, a tee and sweater. The
weather could be slightly chilly,
a soft breeze, and leaves starting
to turn. The days start to shorten,
you can note minor characters in
the backgrounds and their habits
for warmer clothes, shop keepers
needing to come out and sweep
away leaves from their stores
more often. This paired with your
stereotypical coffeeshops, pastries,
and maybe even a character
beginning to sing christmas tunes
way too early, can add dramatically
to the familiarity and warm fuzzies
that people get in the slower Fall/
winter months.

༄▾╰╮Book Review
Coming into Autumn, it seems to
come with the tempting idea to
curl up on the couch with a good
book. As many new books are
being announced, such as
Midnight Sun and The Ballad of
Songbirds and Snakes, it will be
tempting to settle there. However,
it might be time to step back, in
the midst of this busy world, and
revisit the classics.
Over the past few weeks I have
been reading Charles Dickens’ Great
Expectations , a great beginner
novel to those who find it hard to
read older english style. The story
begins with the young protagonist,
Pip, who encounters a stranger in
the marsh near his home. Living
with his sister and her husband,
he encounters other strange
characters in his life as it goes on.
Pip’s curious imagination and
ideals for life lead him to having
a perfect image of what his future
should be, and who it’d be with.
As events unravel, his hopes for
that future slowly dwindle, but
with determination and a surpris-
ing hand, things begin to change.
As someone who usually takes to
fantasy and science fiction first, I
can say that this book is a good
breath of fresh air. It takes the
reader back to a place of simplicity.
The classic innocence of a child's
mind being the main point of view
makes the book easy to interact
with as he grows into an adult. For
most of our who range
from teens to young adults, I
recommend taking this book into
consideration. Get out of our
comfort zone and become cozy
again. Do something new by read-
ing something older. Take some
time to see some and share the
classics with friends, there is
nothing better than story time in
the hustle and bustle of our lives.
Thanks for reading and I hope you
consider this book for your casual
reading in this new season!

༄▾╰╮Lyric Analysis
Now Playing - This is home - Cavetown
01:37 ━━━━━━●─────── 03:46
⇆ㅤㅤㅤㅤ◁ㅤㅤ❚❚ㅤㅤ▷ㅤㅤㅤㅤ↻
This song is a little dark and very sad.
It shows the world through the eyes of
a man struggling with his life because
he is transgender.
「⸙͎」
Often I am upset
That I cannot fall in love but I guess
This avoids the stress of falling out of it
The singer is talking about how
it is difficult for him to find love.
Although he can't find or fall in love
he knows he won't have to go through
the pain of breaking up with someone.
Are you tired of me yet?
I'm a little sick right now but I swear
When I'm ready I will fly us out of here
In this section he is talking
about how he is feeling unwell
or "sick." He's addressing the fact
that he doesn't like what he is going
through and is telling himself one day
everything will get better and he will
one day be able to set himself free.
I'll cut my hair
To make you stare
I'll hide my chest and I'll
Figure out a way to get us out of here
For years I was actually very confused
about this part. I wasn't aware of what
the singer was going through, but in this
part he is talking about how he cuts his
hair and hides his chest for himself.
He had transitioned and the person who
is staring, is society. then he tells himself
once again he'll find a way out of the pain.
Turn off your porcelain face
I can't really think right now and this place
There's too many colours
Enough to drive all of us insane
he is telling himself he should stop
hiding and be open about him being
transgender. he thinks there are too
many people who are against it and
it's slowly making him "insane" or in pain.
Are you dead?
Sometimes I think I'm dead
'Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head
But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet
Here he's talking about how
he feels suffocated from society
he calls them his ghosts and ghouls
he talks about how although he feels
like he's dying he doesn't want to.
He wants to keep living on and be free.
My eyes went dark
I don't know where
My pupils are but I'll
Figure out a way to get us out of here
He's talks about how his eyes
went dark and how he can't find his
pupils, and he is showing how he
is feeling lost in this world and unsure
of what to do but he tells himself
one day everything will get better
Get a load of this monster
He doesn't know how to communicate
His mind is in a different place
Will everybody please give him a little bit of space?
he shows here how people look at him
and how he has a difficult time talking
to people and making friends. hie mind
is wondering and trying to feel found again
and all he asks is for space to breath in.
Get a load of this trainwreck
His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet
But little do we know the stars
Welcome him with open arms
he talks about how he thinks he's a wreck
and how he doesn't look ok but there
is a time somewhere, where he will
be welcomed with open arms and finally be free
Oh
Time is
Slowly
Tracing his face
But strangely he feels at home in this place
This part is a little dark but he's
talking about how the pain is
slowly eating away but he begins
to feel more comfortable with it

༄▾╰╮Rant
Cuddly creatures may be the
perfect companions to some,
but most definitely not ideal
for some others. With quaran-
tine going on past six months
now, people have used this
event as a reason to get a pet
to occupy themselves, only to
ignore and/or neglect them
once their interest in the ani-
mal slid down its peak. For
example, a old friend of mine
posted that she had gotten a
gecko midway through quara-
ntine, and then made an ad
for someone to buy it quite
recently saying, “I’ve lost int-
erest in them, and they need
a better owner.”
While it’s good that they
realize they’re a poor owner,
this was majorly frustrating,
as they had only had the
poor gecko for a mere 2
months. So, that leads me to
this rant.
If you want to get a pet because
you saw it online or because
you’re interested in them, one
week’s worth of interest in an
animal isn’t enough to get one.
You need to do research, ensure
you could devote your time to
this animal, and be safe with it!
People often own animals recently
and neglect them, only to take
care of them in small spurts when
it benefits them. The best example
is a family member and their Ham-
ster, who posted it online for
attention only to neglect it after it
lost popularity. This is maddening,
as this is someone who claimed
they gave it so much attention
and love, and then was half-way
on death’s door about a week
after they didn’t get as much
attention from it.
So? If you’re interested in buying
a pet, what should you do?
Well, make sure you’re interested
in it, and understand it’s a huge
commitment. These pets are not
here solely for you. You need to
care for them as well.
Make sure you’re appropriately
caring for them! If you realize
you’re not, try to fix it!
And most of all, give them love!
They want your attention more
than anything else!
