Being a 12yo girl feels a like being able to set fires with your mind and having no way to control it.
This is literally true for Farah.

Collage of forest fires, hands holding fire, a compass, and a dragon. Text reads: 12-year-old Farah Barnett finds out her erratic fire powers are a gift from a spirit that she must use to protect the balance of nature, but a creature who claims to have her interests at heart is trying to plunge the West Coast into inferno, and she’s the only one who can stop him No images text reads: “I wanted to be bold and strong and fiery, to show that even though I couldn’t control them and didn’t really want them, I was worthy of these powers. I wanted to be poised and stand tall and look him in the eyes. Of course, I did none of those things. I cried. I cried like I was trying to put out a fire. “ Moodboard with pictures: four PNW nature scenes, dragon flying over a mountain, two summer camp pictures, compass, records, a dagger and key on parchment, leather knapsack, map, two fire powers pictures one featuring a hand and one featuring high top shoes feet, a foggy marine Four pictures with the title: Out of context Spoilers Pictures are: ugly vintage duck lamp, herd of cattle, two spidermen pointing meme, and an apricot

From the first chapter even!
That’s my problem. Things in my vicinity tend to spontaneously combust. Especially when I’m mad or frustrated, which is often, but even when I’m scared, or sad, or particularly excited. I could chalk it up to coincidence, or the climate, but as ash and fragments of gas pump rained on me like shame, that explanation seemed comically weak. Khrystal was the first to speak. “How did you do that?” she rasped. “I didn’t. I swear. I don’t know how—” “You did something! I don’t know how, but you did this!” Tiffany was quiet, still in a trance. “I didn’t mean to! I mean—I couldn’t have—how could I have—” “You must have had a lighter or something. A match hidden somewhere,” Tiffany whispered. “I don’t have anything like that,” was the shaky response I managed to muster up.

#wipsnips something about spring has me turning two different outlines into first drafts! This is from my horror story inspired by my time in the woods
“I thought you believed me,” my voice felt raw and hoarse. She averted her gaze. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just,” she sighed and leaned on the counter. “He’s such a good boyfriend.” “Yeah, so was Ted Bundy.” “Really Esper? Ted Bundy? Really?” I flopped down onto the couch. “Yeah, he was also cool and suave and older. Didn’t you see the Netflix movie with Lily Collins?” “What? No, of course I didn’t. Ted Budy is scary, I don’t want to watch anything about him.” “My aunt went on a date with him in college,” I said as I sunk further into the couch. “She said he was so charming.” “It’s Seattle, everyone has an aunt who went on a date with Ted Bundy,” I curled deeper into the cushions. She was in danger and there was nothing I could do to convince her. “Can you leave?” She said after a moment. “I’m mad at you.” “What if he’s waiting for me outside,” I responded. “He could tell that I didn’t trust him.” “Well, yeah Esper. That’s because you’re about as subtle as an elephant.” She smirked. I gave her a raw chuckle. Maybe I needed to try a different approach.

The thing about selling your soul to the devil so you can be a pop star is you can’t take it back. Alex is going to try though.

a movie poster for my novel ALL THE DEVILS. the main image on the poster is of a man with his face obscured showing only his eyes. this image is in black and white. over the image is some text. in the left hand corner is a snippet stating the following “there would be no them from the tomorrow that had already begun. the devils were done. the dream destroyed.” on the right of the image is some information about the novel as follows: daisy jones meets knives out, a literary mystery, crossover potential. underneath the image is more text. first we have the tagline “the song of death never sounded so sweet”. next is the novel’s tile “all the devils”. “a novel by char young” follows this and then underneath is the novel’s pitch as stated above in the post. finally at the bottom are the words “coming soon to the query trenches” and “strand studios”

I (12F) got wrapped up in a plan to save the world from wildfires just bc I have fire powers. I’m not even good at using them! Everyone wanted me to KILL these lost fire creatures in order to do so. I refused, & now the only person who could help me learn my powers is dead. AITA? #unhingedpit #mg #f

You cannot make this shit up. Sharing this jaw-dropping story with a gift link -- give it a read.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

A documentary producer inherits archive footage and must reconcile the discrepancies between it and her interviewees to find the truth about an icon's untimely death—before her own dark past resurfaces.

There’s something in the water 🌊

When an island whispers different versions of unwritten local legends & heartbreak turns you into a creature of the deep & makes you want to drown your ex… no one is safe

Especially not the ex boyfriends
