My Hero Academia: Mysteries of One for All Quirk
There is no shortage of superpowers (called Quirks) in the world of My Hero Academia. However, one still stands out as arguably the most terrifying and powerful known as All for One. It can give its user the power to steal Quirks from others. Even though the Quirk itself is not so powerful, it has collected hundreds of them; it becomes almost impossible to defeat the user. During the rise of Quirks, a century ago, All for One was owned by a man known as Shigaraki. He later went on to become All for One, the leader of villains.

Have you been rejected by a publisher or a Medium publication? I certainly have, and it hurts. After spending hours or days writing and fine-tuning your article, to have it turned down by publications is painful.

With over 2,000 characters in the (Game of Thrones) “A Song of Ice and Fire book series, which ones are your favourites? In the television series, it seems that ‘a lot’ were killed off by the end of series one, but just like the books, new characters just keep on coming.
Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 4 years ago in GeeksSongs of Suffering: A Vital Script
I have a degree in theatre. Did you all know that? I feel like I don’t bring it up enough. For the past four years, I’ve studied and analyzed dramatic literature, mostly for a passing grade. I have also written several plays, and belong to the Dramatists’ Guild and New Play Exchange. As a result, I have read bits and pieces of new work, one such piece being Songs of Suffering: A Torture Play by contemporary playwright Nolan Barrett Nightingale. (That is his real name. Trust me, I’ve checked.) Anyway, the more I think on it, the more I realize Songs of Suffering is a piece born out of generational anxiety, and I want to work through that anxiety a little bit by exploring the themes of the script. Be aware, this article may contain spoilers for the piece, so if you are planning on reading it, you can purchase a PDF from Smith Scripts here.
Steven Christopher McKnightPublished 4 years ago in Geeks5 Tips for a Successful NaNoWriMo
Each November, thousands of writers across the globe test their mettle in the time-honored tradition of National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo, for short). Over the course of a single month, participants go from zero to sixty in an attempt to complete a 50,000-word manuscript before midnight strikes on the final night. If this sounds like a ridiculously hard challenge, that’s because…it sort of is. It’s not meant to be easy. It’s meant to push writers to their limits in order to drive greater creativity than ever before. "Give in to your muse," "let your fingers fly," and all that jazz.
Melissa ClosePublished 4 years ago in GeeksSupport Your Local Comic Shop
There's a little store tucked in between a Subways and a music shop. It's called Coliseum of Comics, and it's my favorite comic book store. That I've only been to two in total is of no consequence. They have a couple of other sites in Florida, and a pretty nice following on social media. I made my first visit there last year, bored with the slim pickings at the bookstore and intrigued at what lay beyond the dominating worlds of Marvel and DC.

Ruth Ware once again masterfully weaves together a gripping, nightmarish mystery that puts Agatha Christi to shame in her latest thriller book One by One.

PERCY POV Sometimes i really hate the gods. yes they're my family, yes i love them, but i swear im going to stab them, god or not. Ugh sorry about that, here let me explain a little. My name is percy, short for Perseus, I had stopped the world from ending several times since i was twelve. I have a lot of titles, like these; 'the son of Poseidon, bane of monsters, slayer of the minotaur, navigator of the labyrinth, owner of the Achilles curse, destroyer of titans, one of the great seven, survivor of Tartarus, defeater of yahda yahda' I think you get the the point, lots of names. Anyways, the reason im so pissed off is that my beach date got completely ruined by the attention seeking gods, and is now making me complain like some preppy girl.

“Come on, it won’t take long,” Narcissa promised, linking her arm through Hermione’s as she swept into the bookstore, the little bell tinkling over their head as the door opened. “The party is tomorrow morning, and I want to get this over with.” Hermione rolled her eyes at her friend’s phrasing, laughing to herself as she tried to picture her at a children’s birthday party.
Clara ReinkePublished 4 years ago in GeeksBook Hoarder
It all began when I was in high school. A good friend of mine growing up got anything she wanted; books, electronics, clothes. But the main thing she wanted and always received were books. She could care less for clothes, electronics, social media.... all that she wanted were books.
S.R. ColemanPublished 4 years ago in GeeksBook Review: "Three Summers" by Margarita Liberaki
“Memories… memories. The air is heavy with them. I can’t stand it anymore. I no longer fit in that big room with the piano, the little boxes of seeds, the peacock embroidery. I run outside and lie down on the grass. I look up at the moon between the two eucalyptuses; it touches the ledge of the cistern, and I can see the silhouette of a frog in its circle of light. But the frog is not on the moon. Like me, it is on the ground looking up.”

In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.
