I just finished watching the last episodes of Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. Again. After I had watched them, again. After I had.... You get my drift.Before I go further, I should make this remark: I'm as independent a thinker as has ever been minted. Progressive, liberal, or conservative views I treat as impostors just the same. I weigh a viewpoint by the amount of water it holds, and that amount is determined by the number of holes it has.My point is this: I don't care where Sorkin is coming from, its the truth he's saying that's hard for all of us to handle. No matter how 'bent' we all are in whatever direction, nearly all of us, he says, have become "Uncivilized," and I agree with him.The word deserves to have a cap and quotes. Cervantes has not been able rest in nearly 400 years and probably is rolling over faster of late. He needs for more Dons, Sanchos, and Dulcineas of all stripes to get off our asses, and onto a higher horse. Then he could rest in peace.I don't see much to debate here. Most 'uncivilians' camp out with their ideologies, ready to war without rules against anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint.Each episode gave me succeeding examples why this is so, and caused me to hit my 'pause' button to reflect. Each time I'd come to this moment, I'd tell myself: 'he's right'. You have to give him this: He's a great writer, regardless how his style of quadruple axles lands on the page. Sure, he has a stable of creative people tossing him ideas, and he gets to pick and use the best of the litter, but it's his words that course through his fingers onto the keyboard. He did this week after week in home run derby fashion.What is a lessor Sorkin? Someone like me, who loves to write, and wants to put just one or two over the fence like he does, all the time.I'd be happy at that, if I didn't have to contend with the demons which are usually commensurate to enormous talent, and what Mr. Sorkin admits he has to face every day.…

EMBER BLACK was excited. She loved Hogwarts, and was more than ready to go back for her second year. The food, the beds, the library, everything about Hogwarts seemed perfect to Ember. Little did she know that she would meet Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.ROSCOE JUPITER was sad. After others laughing at his dream career, he wasn't ready for his next year at Hogwarts. He didn't even care that Harry Potter was at Hogwarts. Little did he know that one simple Hufflepuff girl would change him, what he loved, and his future.VALLEY ZESTOR didn't care. People could laugh for all she cared After dying pink and blue streaks through her hair, revealing that she had heterochromia, and being sorted into Hufflepuff, everyone laughed. Little did she know that non-laughing Ravenclaw boys aren't hopeless. JOSEPH DURSLEY didn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it. The fact that he was magical, Hogwarts, and especially the fact that he had a crush on a Slytherin. Little did he know that someone had her eye on him too, someone who didn't care about houses, or blood status.DESTINY MALFOY was conflicted. When she figured out who she was, would people accept? Sure, her friends, but not her family. Destiny wanted to express her feelings. Little did she know that she wasn't alone with her unpopular feelings.MARCUS YAXLEY was annoyed. Annoyed with his father, annoyed with biased parents, he wanted to live a live not controlled by others. He wanted his half-blooded crush to accept him, not think he was against non-purebloods. Little did he know that she liked him back.PERSEPHONE BLACK felt confident. Confident that her beauty, kindness, intelligence, flirting skills, and blood status would win her crush over, the boy she's loved for two years. Little did she know that he already liked, before she started putting on her charm.…

One winter morning, a chill ran through the pack. Some were filled with excitement, some were fearful of the day ahead. There were seven young wolves who reached the mating age today. They were all turning eighteen and over the next week, they would all find their mates but one. Being Non-binary in a pack with such strict gender roles sucks, especially when you're the Alpha's middle child and future Alpha. Tobi Mikaelson would soon learn that they have the power to change the way their pack looks at gender identity, along with finding their own path into adulthood. Maybe even open a new chapter for their pack.[A/N]This is my first serious book so if you see a mistake, feel free to point it out! All characters belong to me, if you see any similarities to another character from a different book, a real life person, or anyone else, that is purely coincidence. The main character is based off of me so if you know me and you read this, thats why.…

A side-story to my YA dystopian novel, 'Rooks of the Knot', set three years prior to those events.Almost a thousand years in the future, the world we know is gone. Thousands of miles of land and ocean away from Camelot and the Rooks (known as 'Privateers' to outsiders) the former USA has its own problems to deal with, as five major power blocs struggle for control of the continent.In their midst is No-Man's-Land, land uncontrolled and mostly unwanted by the five powers. But in No-Man's-Land is a research facility; a facility controlled by the totalitarian Arcadia, within sight of the loosely-governed Republic of Greater California, and recently destroyed by fighters from the United Empire of the Caribbean--somehow leaving no survivors on either side.But why? And what had the facility been researching? A group of popular vigilantes based in California called 'The Six' have come to investigate, along with a most unwelcome group of scavengers working for a powerful drug baroness. One member of the Six, Rosebud--called 'The Georgian', is plagued by her connection to this baroness, her doubts over her leader's actions, and by her lack of knowledge concerning one of her teammates, the mysterious 'Prophet'.But Rosebud has to keep her head. There are a thousand different dangers in the world she lives in, and something all new and possibly more dangerous than any other hidden within this facility...…

It has been seven years and the memory hasn’t changed at all.How could I forget? It was the night my parents died--the night I lost everything. It was the night I began questioning everything I thought I knew was true, when I watched in complete dumbfounded, mystified and amazed disbelief, as my grandpa squatted and sturdied himself at the rear of the van that was barely clinging onto the cliff's edge, then gripped the rear axle and lifted...and pulled.Tires flat, vehicle mangled, yet all five-thousand pounds, having almost succumbed to gravity just seconds earlier...were moving easily with him.My grandpa was a massive man—young looking, tall and confident—but we had celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday three weeks before, and even though I was only nine-years old, I knew what I was seeing was impossible for any man no matter the age—impossible for any human being. But there he was, showing the strength and courage of some kind of super-man. He was incredible...unbelievable.Remarkable.He moved the van to safety on solid ground and pulled out my aunt and uncle, not one at time, but together, carrying one in each arm as if they were little babies. He laid them in soft grass and tended to their wounds.And he cried.And I did, too, because I knew that my parents were dead inside that van, and I knew that nobody would ever believe what had just happened.I also knew, deep down, that I would never see my grandpa that way again.So here I am now, telling a story that I've been told can't be true, and living one that can't be explained through the truth I've been told to know.…

Hasn't anyone ever wondered if Levi felt anything for any of his fellow Scouts?In this fanfic, you get to be them. This character is a girl but whatever works for you.____________________________________________________A low voice behind me nearly made me fall off the branch, "Proud?"I whirled around to see Levi, not five feet away from me.How had he managed to get so close, without me noticing?Levi was looking at me so intensely that I didn't know what to make of it.Beads of sweat traced down my temple and Gunter's words rang in my ears, You must've already made his list of people to kill.My heart pounded as he strolled closer, as if we weren't up on a branch in the woods, hovering above the chaos that we had created."What's your name?"The question startled me.What was my name?He was only a foot away. I looked at him and he seemed entirely serious, his eyebrow raised.I tried to look confident, "F/N L/N.""Well, F/N L/N," The way he said my name made me shiver. "Are you from the Underground?"With a small nod, I confirmed it and his expression didn't change, "How did you know me?""Everyone knew you."_______________________I, own this story, because it is the product of the figments of my imagination but the characters, the main plot of Attack on Titan and it's genius storyline belong wholely to Hajime Isayama and all credit for the above goes to its rightful owners.

All of this bullshit was starting to get to the best of him. At home abuse was getting worse. At school bullying was getting worse. His depression was get a lot worse now. Why did everyone have to hate him so much for not doing or liking the same things as them. Why did his parents hate him so much? Was he that bad of a kid? What whould happen if he killed himself? Would anyone even miss him?Those were questions he asked himself often. Maybe way too often. No one loved him. He was turely alone in this world if hate and betrayal. Currently Axle was at home. Locked away in his room. This is where he soent his most time. He rarely ever slept and ate. All he did was play guitar, write songs, talk to himself, and darw. There were times where he did noting but cry and cut his upper thighs and wrists. Today was a lot different from any other day though. The black haired boy was planning on running away. He wasn't sure where'd he go yet but he was going to find somewhere and something better than this hell of a life. He was going to find a way. He had a job and plenty of money to get him places. And that's why right now he was packing all his money, some clothes, his phone and charger, an extra pair of shoes, sunglasses, and some hygiene things.…
