So this is my notice for an indefinite hiatus, as right now my mental health is taking the forefront. I'll still be on kik and Skype for anyone who already has it and want to talk but otherwise ... I'm unsure who still is rp'ing with me but sorry for skipping out on you all I hope you understand.

I'm so sorry everyone for getting so behind in this blog. Really am. I'm going to try better tomorrow.

23. A SONG YOU THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD LISTEN TO: NOTHING'S WRONG - ECHOSMITH

she’s sitting alone in the chair, she covers her eyes with her hair. she smokes one last cigarette and waits for the whole world to turn. she’s loving the smell in the air. she’d stop but she really doesn’t care. what’s she to do waiting for the whole world to burn.

How to Annotate! 

I thought I’d do a lil post about how I annotate books! This is a new system for me but I like it a lot considering I always use post-its (I hate writing in books) for my annotations. This is a book I’m annotating for my AP Lit class that I start in the fall!

Organize your annotations.

The system I showed above is a simple color-coordinating method that lets you easily flip back and find specific things. For example, if you have vocab words assigned with the text, you can flag them with a green post-it; when you need to go back and find them later for studying, they can be found without effort. 

Summarize plot info.

My blue post-its are basically paraphrased or broken down versions of the text. If you’re reading complicated works, this will probably be necessary for you to understand the text. Additionally, I extract the meaning from the text and jot it down on the blue post-its. Candide by Voltaire is a satire, which means I have to really closely read to figure out what he’s actually trying to say, even though the text itself isn’t that complex. 

Define terms. 

Define, define, define- always! This is necessary for aforementioned complicated texts. Collect background info for historical texts- if a book alludes to something and you’re not sure what it means, google it and write it down. Also, ask questions- if a character does something out of place, ask yourself why they did so; it’s probably important. This is demonstrated on my yellow post-its. 

Always look for literary devices. 

If you’re going into AP Lang or another AP language arts class, I strongly suggest you become acquainted with literary devices before the school year starts. They’re a major part of the AP test and if you notice a reoccurring pattern of certain literary devices in a text, it’s how the author is developing their point! I marked these for Candide on the pink post-its. 

Lastly- annotate for the prompt or for what your teacher tells you to.

Duh. If your teacher says to annotate for motifs, annotate for motifs! It’s pretty straightforward.

How to: play a male and why it's actually better than playing a female

Since we haven’t gotten many applications for our male roles in my roleplay, I’ve decided to make a list on why playing males is better than playing a female, and on how to play one in general. This is something that probably applies to female roleplayers, so apologizes to all male roleplayers out there.

                     THAT THING BEING …                                                 A MASTERLIST

Under the cut, you will find various different powers that a superhero can possess. I mostly did this on account of THIS roleplay, but it can be used for anything – if you’re creating a character for a roleplay, writing a book about a superhero, or basically anything at all! Some powers that are listed have explanations, while others do not. I, unfortunately, did not have the time to research them all, so you’ll have to research certain abilities on your own time.
If you find this useful in any way, please like or reblog!
