Hey everyone! I'm getting Undertale for my computer and I'm excited! My sister's birthday party is tomorrow (technically today), and that'll be fun! Exciting stuff!
Just needed to recommend some stuff, sorry for teeny post but I have literally one percent battery and eight minutes remaining.

After-birthday Party! (aka Gracc Drabbles)
It's the day after my birthday, I'm on a three-day posting streak, all is right with the world. My parents gave me and my sister Disney Infinity 3.0 for our birthday, which has been fun so far. We got the Star Wars set. I'm excited. Personally, I got a check for 25 dollars from my grandparents and a $30 dollar GameStop gift card from my parents. I will be spending these very soon.
Now that it's after my birthday, it's gonna be a while until there are more 'presents'. Since Christmas and our birthdays are very close together (or very far apart, depending how you look at it), usually we have presents, a one-month hiatus, and then more presents. It's sort of cool, but then the rest of the year we don't really get anything. Sometimes I wish it was more evenly spaced. I learned that I was born around 2:30 in the morning, which explains my night-owlish tendencies. My sister was born around 4 in the afternoon, which explains why she has no problem with insomnia.
I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban. By that, I mean I've read around five pages. I just started it now. Before I was reading it, I have been reading The Book Thief, Ready Player One, Roller Girl, and Wings Of Fire. All very good books if you want to check them out.
I recently tried to get back into the MLP fandom. It's sort of hard because they aren't releasing any new episodes, but I'm making it work. Until I'm inevitably drawn back towards UNDERTALE. Yeah. Undertale is my life. That's a fact. Trying to struggle only makes the bonds tighter. That's a fact. I tried to watch Steven Universe, to see if it could help drag me out of the hole, but nooooo. I couldn't even watch a whole episode. It's sort of scary, really; I feel like I've been hypnotized by Toby Fox. THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES BEGIN!
Instead of going to a sushi place last night, we went to a grill place. I got a personal pizza and ate all of it. The crust was perfectly crisped, even down to the middle. The sausage and cheese were mouthwatering, simply mouthwatering. And after we were there, we bought some delicious ice cream and ate that. Mint chocolate chip is awesome.
My headphones aren't working in one ear unless I hold the cord in a special position. Maybe I'll use that GameStop card to buy myself some new headphones. Maybe. We'll see. It's a nuisance, and I've been meaning to get some new headphones recently. Mental note made: buy headphones at GameStop. Done.
My birthstone is a garnet, and my star sign is Aquarius. I was born three days before the birthday of Phil Lester, and as such, we share the fact that our birthstone is a garnet and our star sign is Aquarius. I like this fact. There is a seventeen years' difference between our ages. This is interesting. I'm interested in the US tour. I want to go to the US tour. Maybe I'll spend my money on the US tour. Maybe I'll take a friend to the US tour. The US tour is very interesting, and why I watch the YouNows of both of them. Also because I want to hear about what's happening in their life.
For the science project, our carnivorous tree is coming nicely. I'm proud of the genus I picked; I think it's a good genus for a giant tropical tree. (The genus literally means giant tropical tree.) Don't touch the tree, kids, you'll die. Really. You will probably die from touching the tree. It secretes deadly poison. Please don't touch the tree. It might take over the world someday. Who knows.
Math is pretty easy. I had a fifteen-page packet and I finished it in twenty minutes. It's a good thing, because it means I understand the subject and can write for this blog more, but it's bad because it means from this point on in the unit I won't really learn anything.
A person in my class is reading the Maximum Ride series. Man, I like that series. It's a good series. A really good series. Sort of sad, but it's good too. I'm glad that it's over, but also sort of sad it's over because I want more adventures with the flock. Maybe they'll make movies. That would be awesome. After all, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out in 2007 (when I was three) and the first movie came out in 2001. That's a six-year overlap. That's not bad. Considering that the books took a long time to write. Actually...
*googles*
it's apparently in production. Finally. I'm looking forward to it. After reading all the books, manga, and fan-blogs, I think I'm ready for a movie. This is long overdue. Very long overdue. This makes me happy.
Yeah, so those were some drabbles about my life in general and random thoughts I've had. Leave comments for any more drabbles you want to hear because I read the comments. I get a mail notification each time someone leaves a comment. I want to hear your comments..

happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday, happy birthday...
Hey everyone! I'm trying to post daily, and although we all know that's not going to work for more than three days, I'm gonna try! I don't care if it's not gonna work; I'm still going to try to post daily. Daily posts.
It's my birthday! Yay! We now have more pageviews than years of A.D.! (we have 2017 pageviews currently) That's pretty cool! I'm very proud. Anyways, that's been talked about before, so I don't need to go over it too much- let's talk about my life for once!
School has been fairly fun. I'm happy that I'm in Art class now instead of Agriculture. We're working on perspective drawings, which make it look three-dimensional. It's fun, but sort of hard to wrap your mind around because you're too busy looking at how much depth there is to think of them as rectangles. In Social Studies, we're looking at the branches of government (Executive, currently), and it's interesting stuff. I didn't really know all that much about the government (because I didn't really care, mostly), and it's sort of cool the way that we've set it up. In ELA, we're looking at responsibilities and decisions, which I don't really understand how to tie into ELA, but it's useful information anyway. Math is slope and functions, which I know already. In Science, we're doing a new project where we invent an animal. I'm mostly there to keep my partner from submitting a landshark. Instead, we're making a carnivorous tree that will eventually rule the world. Seriously, it's extremely hard-to-stop. If this thing existed in real life, it would probably already have taken over the world. It also looks really cool. Currently, I'm working on Traipse, and getting somewhere- a bit. I just finished editing out the money trouble differences that I needed to edit out, and that's been extremely helpful. This won't make sense right now, but it will eventually. I really want to publish a book, really. I don't have a publisher, however, and I don't want to self-publish, because I have to pay an amount for each book made. I also will be needing an editor (besides my lovely friend Callie, who's been helping as I go), and I've been thinking of maybe contacting a local university. I'm not quite sure as of yet, but I've been telling myself to focus on the present, and finish writing the book before worrying about an editor or publisher. Hopefully that'll help.
My life's been fairly banal as of recent times, but I hope that will change sometime. I suppose I'll tell you about the fact that since it's my birthday, we're going to Sushi Station for dinner! I'm looking forward to it, as I like sushi a lot and haven't been in years. It's a cool sushi restaurant where the sushi comes by on a conveyor belt, and you pay because of the color of the plates (a white one costs one dollar, a yellow costs two dollars, et cetera). I really like pickled ginger, and as such, I use a lot on things such as the rice-fish things. SO FLAVORFUL.
You know how I've been sucked into the Undertale fandom? I've been dragging my friends down with me. Most of my friends are now huge Undertale fans as well. I'm hoping I can convince my parents to get me the game for my birthday. (After all, it's only $9.99 on Steam.) I'm sort of worried I won't be good at it, though, because I'm not good at bullet hell games at all. And that's if I can even be convincing enough to get the game. Anyways, wish me luck.
I have to return to the real world, where my friend is searching pictures of Obama Llama and sending them to me. Bye!

HEY HEY HEY GUYS WE DID IT WE REALLY DID IT
GUYS! WE DID IT! WE HAVE 2000 PAGEVIEWS! YES! WE HAVE DONE IT! IT TOOK ME LIKE A YEAR TO GET TO 1000 AND I GOT TO 2000 IN LIKE NO TIME AT ALL! IT'S SO AMAZING! THANK EVERYONE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE YAY YES!
(people to which I am giving thanks are below, and after that I'll write "TRAINS" so you know when to stop scrolling if you don't want to see the thanks)
I thank:
- Rain Potter
- Callie Terdina
- Jess Nightflame
- Happistar
- Kristy Boo
- Skylar K.
- hellorubyatenate
- my IRL friends who don't have online accounts (Alyssa, Evelyn, Callie, Rachel, Bianca, Amber, etc.)
Thank you all so much for supporting me and everything! When I started this blog, I thought it would be ultra amazing if we could get to 100 views, and now we have two THOUSAND?! It's pretty awesome what we can do with only a bit of effort from everyone. I'd also like to thank anyone who's viewed this blog that I haven't mentioned, because I want you to feel like you've been thanked for looking at my little blog in a small corner of the dodecahedron that the internet is. I'm eternally grateful to everyone for getting me to two thousand views, and I feel that we've grown a little since we started. My birthday's tomorrow, and this is the best birthday gift ever. I'm so happy that we could make it this far and I look forward to everything in the future!
TRAINS
So my day's been fairly average currently. I had a very small birthday party with a few friends, during which we may or may not have stayed up until 2 AM playing Minecraft and roleplaying. (It was very fun.) My little sister's party is coming up, and I'll get to have cake, so I'm happy about that! I got a few interesting things for my birthday, including:
A minecraft minifigure
A book on how to mod Minecraft and create your own mods
A book on writing prompts and different ones to use
A Barnes and Noble gift card
Rolos galore (:D)
All very good birthday gifts, I must say.
I've been reading some really cool books recently, including the Unwanteds series (it's pretty cool if you want to check it out), and re-reading the Harry Potter series. If I could have a superpower right now, it would be to have the power to read a book like it's the first time every time I read it, because you never really get that spark back, and I wish you could. Speaking of superpowers, what would you want yours to be? Comment below with your superpower of choice!
Not much to say other than the birthday party was fun, and recommendations for today! For the YouTuber, I must say Erica Wester, because she's the creator of the short animation Welcome To Hell, which is really, really cool. Check it out. Now. Please. Thanks. For a song, Fade by Alan Walker is really good because it has a really catchy melody, and I was listening to it while writing this.
Summary: two thousand views, I had a birthday party, and I want to hear about superpowers.

Howdy!
I'm Flowey!
Flowey the Flower!
So my life's been going well so far. I've been caged by the Undertale fandom, but besides that, things are as normal. I started a Health unit on nutrition, and in honor, I want to tell you: EAT HEALTHY. Please.
Since I got no support for the Internet Week (thanks, guys!) I've invented a handy replacement! (You brought this upon yourselves.) Fandom Week! I'll discuss the different fandoms I'm in, and then I'll recommend different channels based on what I'm talking about! It starts on Sunday, and ends on Saturday. Tomorrow is Friday. Watch out.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
(Also, everything in the fandoms will probs contain MASSIVE spoilers, so...)

3rd Quarter! (plus new thing)
So I'm about to enter the third quarter of my first year at my new school! I'm fairly excited because it means I get to take Art, and fairly intrigued by said class. We might also have more people in our Choir, and that's always fun! I'm happy for that!
So, now that that's over with, let's talk about some not-my-life stuff. (I would talk about my life more, really, but I have nothing to say! My life's been boring!) So, I'm gonna talk about a thing I might do.
So I enjoy and am a purveyor of a lot of Internet culture, and I'd like to talk about that. I'll make an agreement with you: if people like the "sample post" below, then comment you liked it and I will post every day until Friday with more Internet-y stuff. Note that this won't be anything about me, and I'll update you if anything has happened through the week on Saturday. I'll post the entire week, once every day, and there will be song reccomendations and YouTuber reccomendations as well, not necessarily tying in with the stuff I'm talking about. So read the sample below, and comment or something saying you liked it if you want to see more!
Hey, everyone! Today we're going to talk about OCs, short for Original Characters. I make OCs, because I enjoy doing them. A few rules I put in place for myself are:
1. Must have developed backstory and preferences. i.e. They need a story before they can be considered good.
2. They can't be near the canon characters. For example, for Harry Potter, participating in the Battle of Hogwarts is fine, but being Hermione's sister is not.
3. They need good traits. Making someone overpowered is never a good idea, and most people don't like it. Every character needs a flaw or two. It can be something as simple as jealousy, or as complicated as depression.
I enjoy planning my OC by sketching it or using a website before coming up with a story. For example, I have an OC named Flowerdancer that I made using General Zoi's Pony Creator that I made a good backstory for. Try to pick something online with lots of options, or just draw it. I personally aren't very good at drawing so I usually use an online program instead. If you want, you can draw your OC once it's done, adding effects and your personal style, or write some stories about their life. If people like them enough, you might even start getting questions about them, in which case you can set up an ask blog if you want to. This can allow people that like the OC to learn more about it, and it gives you an opportunity to flesh out your character, so to speak. Anyways, yeah, that's my guide on how to make an OC. Hope you enjoyed it, and happy Internet travels!
Song today is Stay With Me by Diamond Eyes feat. Christina Grimmie
YouTuber today is Shawn Wasabi (I know I've done him before, but he posted a new video and I absolutely love it. It's called Burnt Rice, and it is really amazing, awesome, and I give it an A.

hOi!
So even though this is a deviation from the norm, I thought I would talk about a game today instead of my life! NOTE: it has spoilers for the game so if you don't want spoilers don't look! They aren't very spoily but still
Undertale.
It would not do this game justice to say it was amazing. This game was much more than that. It pulled the right heartstrings while being very humorous and deep at the same time. First, a little history.
Undertale was originally a Kickstarter project that wanted around $5000 to make a small game. It got $55,000. Amazing. I know. Toby Fox got together with some friends and made it a big game and stuff! The finished version is available on Steam, and overall, going through normally, it takes around 4-5 hours to complete.
The game is centered around the main character, a fallen human that has fallen into the Underground, where the monsters have been housed since the humans sealed them underground with a magical spell. You can choose three paths: Neutral, where you kill some things and spare others, Genocide, where you kill everything in your path (arguably the hardest path to play, reasons stated below), and True Pacifist, where you do not kill anything. Undertale is unique in that it can be played without killing anything. Not something you usually see in an RPG, huh?
The different paths cause you to face different struggles, and each one has benefits and drawbacks. Genocide is arguably the hardest because of a certain pair of skeleton brothers. Also, Genocide is very morally taxing. Killing everything in your path isn't very humane, and you know it. People with any sort of sympathy usually don't end up doing more than one full Genocide run.
Game mechanics: You run with arrows, and like a standard RPG, you eat for HP. One difference- LV stands for LOVE, not Level. You'll see why. When you enter a fight and the other person attacks, you enter a bullet hell-type simulator where you try to dodge everything coming. Different things hurt your HP more. And the only way to increase your LOVE is by killing monsters. If you are a pacifist, your HP stays at 20 and you end up at LV 1 the entire game. It's not bad, really. There are different monsters you can fight throughout the game, and many, MANY different bosses you can beat or compromise with. Plot-wise, the characters are really well-developed, the plot is definitely intense and good, and many parts made me just plain laugh out loud-or cry with grief. It's awesome there.
The fanbase is pretty great- there are so many things out there, from arts to edits to songs to parodies to videos to everything! (I'm listening to one right now by the way). The fanbase has also created many more facets to the characters than are demonstrated in the original game, and have come up with some really cute stuff that makes me want to freakin' giggle! It's pretty cool, and there are definitely some tear-jerking things out there as well. It's the second fandom that I've drawn art for (a sketch, at least). You'll learn much more if you delve into the wide, wide world of Undertale, and go ahead and take the butterscotch-cinnamon pie. Go forward and conquer! Or make friends! It's all great! Just great!
Song recommendation: Stronger Than You (Sans Parody)- it's pretty cool, and explains some stuff about genocide run idk it's just good
YouTuber recommendation: Cryaotic (because he played Undertale and I enjoyed it).
UNDERTALE THEMED EVERYTHING! YAY!

So how're you?
Personally, I'm doing well.
I am THRILLED with the success of my blog in 2015, and I hope that 2016 has even more to come! (like two thousand views yay!) I'm really happy about getting 1000 views and stuff, and I'd like to say that YOU CAN FOLLOW MY BLOG TO GET NOTIFIED FOR POSTS AND STUFF so please follow it and then you won't have to be checking all the time to see when I post new stuff! At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Hopefully.
My life has been pretty boring recently, except for a few things:

At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Hopefully.
My life has been pretty boring recently, except for a few things:
- on the first day back to school, I fell down the stairs and hurt my tailbone/leg/arm
- I've slipped on ice several times
- my family and I finished season 1 of gravity falls
I have a really satisfying habit of breaking ice. It's pretty easy to do and I really like doing it because it feels really satisfying. I just slam down on the ice with my heel and break it, so that it comes off in huge chunks that I can throw if I want to. It also helps when you don't have any rock salt but want to break ice. You can try it sometime if you want to!
I'm making a cool newspaper thing with my friends for my English class and it's about freedom, so I got to research animal abuse and now I'm really passionate about the subject. Did you know that people enjoy putting cats in microwaves? Or sealing their dog's mouth shut with duct tape? This happens ALL THE TIME, and if you have any vestige of kindness in you, you'll try to help it stop. You can donate to PETA or other humane organizations to help stop this from happening. Do it. Please. You did? Yay!

Besides those things, I don't have that much going on. I want to wish you a happy back-to-school and stuff and congratulations on making it through half of a school year!
