Whatever Avira's friends may say about the "signs" at the abandoned silo, Avira does NOT believe in the 2012 apocalypse.

But with her bestie competing against her in the art contest offering a full ride scholarship, and threatening her new crush, life's plenty apocalyptic. #questpit #YA #S #PR #Q

A pinboard with an assortment of images and notes pinned or taped in place. There is a subtle branching mycellium pattern on the board. In the top right a note is taped that says "Make me a hero." In the bottom left corner is a sticker that says "You can do it" but can is scratched out in red. Attached to the board are the following images: a sandy horse, with a speech bubble coming off it that says "Hi! I mean... uh neigh." A crystal ball with a tree at sunset. A smoking volcano. A photo of a broken red clay pot. A calendar with the month labeled Seguster. A man in an ominous black cloak standing in a field. A castle with a dragon flying near it. A black kitten being held. A raven. A meteor approaching a planet. A highland cow whose photo has tape with the lesbian flag pattern. A red string loops in a heart to a picture of the shadow of a gorgon. An alder branch with catkins. The photo has a gold star sticker and blue thread connecting it to a photo of mushrooms.

On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text: An Editor’s Guide To The Land of Undying Summer by Ivy T. Woods Adult Romantic Fantasy 108,000 words On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. On the left side of the picture is an ink drawn map of a continent. In white text: Pitch When a half-dead priestess is forced to work with a wandering mage to figure out why mages are dwindling among her people, they develop a reluctant camaraderie. But when he kills a guard, her people’s distrust escalates into a full-scale uprising, leaving the two loners to save the living, the dead, and each other. Though not necessarily in that order. On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text: Comps The atmosphere and vibes of: - The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon - Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang The Humour Of: - Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text Chapter One - The End of Darkness No Guide could resist the Call of Return forever. But this time, when Tilaani’s trembling hands closed on the spiked rocks of the Wolf’s Fangs, the agonizing need for the missing part of herself had dulled to an aching throb. The Call would take her eventually. But not today. Today, she was already running late. “Shit!” Tilaani snatched her cloak from the icy stalagmite she had been using as a hanger and staggered to a slim crack in the cliff face. It had been a century since the passage had opened in one of El’Drek’s rages but the frozen stone was still jagged, tugging at her shirt as she sidled through, thin cloak clutched in one hand. Wind whistled through the crevice, peppering her exposed skin with hard snow. It melted, steaming as it touched her. Time within the cavern had always been malleable, misaligned with the world outside. Shinac had always claimed the shifts were random but Tilaani had her doubts. It always seemed to stretch whenever she was in a hurry. She wouldn’t put it past any of the dead—either Blessed or Barred—to extend time merely to inconvenience her. And now, backing up this theory, the sun was high overhead and the few hours she had spent being lectured by the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

NIGHTVALE x PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

2012, Avira's Jr Year and the supposed apocalypse. Avira's just trying to hold onto her crush & place in an art competition for a full ride scholarship. The catch? Her bff, competing for both her attention, and the scholarship.

#Q #questpit #YA #S #PR #LGBT
An assortment of images, cut into triangle shapes and circles make a 4 point star in a circle, with a blue pink and purple flannel making up the flannel. At the center of the 4 point star is a circle that shows a smiling white girl with curly brown hair, and blue eyes. The top point of the star shows a tired looking latino boy with short, messy dark hair, olive eyes, and a goatee. Between this and the right point are images of a coiled snake, and a leaf on a creek shore. The right hand point shows a blonde girl with very pale skin, messy blonde hair, and glasses. Between this and the bottom point are 3 images: A silo with a tree growing out of it, a blonde boy with blue eyes wearing a polo, and a necklace with a shimmering green and purple gem, wire wrapped in the same colors. The bottom point shows a white boy with wavy brown hair, big hazel eyes, and rectangle glasses wearing a button up with a cartoonish ghost over his shoulder. Between this and the left point of the star are a row of chalk pastels making a rainbow, and a snow covered rose. The left point shows a girl with ocher skin, green eyes, and a black braid with bangs covering one eye. Between this and the top point we see the head of a stringed instrument, a black girl with a dyed red undercut and gold piercing, and a soccer ball in a grassy field.

An open journal, there are sketches of a snake and a girl with a braid on the pages, as well as marker test swatches of blue, green and purple. Photographs are taped into it: a dark haired girl wearing blue lipstick, a brunette girl in a tie-dye sticking her sandalled feet into water, a silo with a tree growing out of it, a snowy yard, a pink rose with snow on it, and a mug of cocoa with a small gingerbread man resting against it. On top of the left hand journal page lies a colorful polymer clay oval with a 4 point star symbol adorning it, and a piece of snake shed.

A corkboard with multiple photos pinned up, some of them linked by red thread. In the top left is a photo of a rusted silo. A small sapling is inside, and has a lens flare glow off it. This photo has thread to a right hand photo of a snowy creek. The thread then veers back left to two photos of an ocher skinned girl on a motorbike. In the top center is a photo of two girls kissing. It is overlapped by a small blue heart with the words "I love you" and a photo of a rainbow obsidian arrowhead. A new thread comes off this photo, linking to a photo of three hands meeting for a first bump on a table. The other end of the thread links to a photo going out of frame of obsidian shards. In the top right there is a grayscale photo of a blurry girl with a bob cut. She is covering her face with a hand. In the very center a hand is holding up a photo of a smiling blonde and brunette. The photo is burned, with the largest burn rising between the two.

The "Loot I'd drop if I died in a video game" meme. The meme shows Avira, a chubby girl with brown hair and blue eyes. She has a birthmark on her chest and wears a tie dye and orange sweatpants. The items she'd drop are a paintbrush, cutesy pink flip phone, obsidian crystals, a silver maple leaf, a tie-dye, and a sketchbook. The "Loot I'd drop if I died in a video game" meme. The meme shows Saskia, a twiggy girl with spiky blonde hair, wearing a neon snake sweater, cargo pants and boots. She is surrounded by glitches rather than loot and a windows error that says Fail.

"How are you so okay with this?" Ota demanded, turning accusingly to the hero. "You're the good one."

Alder stuck out their lip and sat down cross-legged. They remained silent before meeting Ota's eyes. "Am I?"

"Yes! You're the hero! I'm the villain."
