As you guys may know, I work with a group of third graders at an elementary school here in my city. They’re really good kids… But they’re super behind in reading. I want to do a book club for them to get them excited and interested in something literary so that they can see how fun reading can be. The problem? Buying 22+ copies of Harry Potter isn’t very cheap, and I don’t make a lot of money, not to mention that I work in a very low poverty area where these kids can’t afford food or clothes, much less books.
All I’m asking is for your old books.
Need to get a new copy anyway? Give me your old one.
Haven’t even picked it up in a few years? Give it to me.
Just want to do something nice for some kids? I’ll take it.
If you want to donate one, shoot me a message and I can give you my mailing address. I can’t afford to pay for shipping (that would probably just cover the cost of buying the books) but I can… write you fanfiction? Draw you stick figures? Have my kids make you a personal thank you card?
I’m also opening up my paypal donations so that, if you choose to donate a few dollars, I can use that to buy copies at Recycled, the local used bookstore.
I’d really appreciate any help you could offer! I just want to see these kids put their hands on something that might make them understand how truly amazing reading can be. They deserve it.
Somehow, that never even occurred to me. Obviously Arize is already making Mojoverse-ers. Why not a Rictor and Shatty mix? He had Ric for God knows how long. Long enough for him to grow that groovy beard. And ‘Star is apparently the genetic foundation of all the Cadre. Thanks for that, PAD…
“Our prodigy is quite skilled. I did not know that move until I was ten.”
“This is fucked up. Beyond all measure.”
This was the entire basis I had for Forest being Rictor and Shatterstar’s fucked up Mojoverse baby.
I thought he was related to squirrel girl? Now I’m all confused.
Inanna is still the top contender for a RicStar love child. Nevermind that he’s not from the Marvel Universe and I’m fairly certain that team WicDiv isn’t going to give him up any time soon. I’m just hoping his head doesn’t explode…
He’s a Ricstar baby. He even has the birthmark. It’s truth now; I don’t make the rules.
Butting in with squirrel boy isn’t related to squirrel girl, maggie just thought it was funny.
but THAT is a star/ric baby and no one can tell me otherwise. – WHO ARE YOU KIDDING GILLEN. WHO. ARE. YOU. KIDDING.
Julio is having flashbacks to his 90’s costumes. At least Inanna doesn’t wear fringe. And there aren’t any mullets.

I wish Marvel hadn’t messed up Monet’s origins once Lobdell left the book. The original plan of her being formed by the two St. Croix twins and there not being a totally separate Monet was a lot more interesting and less convoluted than what we ended up with. And would have been a lot more representative with Penance being a deaf war survivor and the Monet persona formed from Nicole and Claudette St. Croix, with Claudette’s autism sometimes affecting her.
