The Royal Ranger

The upbringing of the royal children is serious business. Aside from governing-the-country specific things, they are either trained as a knight or courier. But Maddie doesn’t want to be a knight or courier.

She wants to be a Ranger, just like Uncle Will.

I.e. the story where Maddie is not the first female ranger (everyone knows that rangers can be male, female or nb), but the story where Maddie is the first royal ranger.

!!! The book is perfect bound, which means that the only thing holding this book together is the PVA glue on the edge. The plain black cover is for secrecy purposes yes not at all because I can’t design a front cover.

Did you know that adorable/cute in Vietnamese is dễ thương, which translated literally means “easy to love”?

When I was little I had a school assignment about my role model. I had none, so I went into the history books and chose Leonardo Da Vinci. I mean, he was an artist and scientist (which I really wanted to be!) and most importantly he wrote his journals in CODE.

And now, over 10 years later when I find out that he was actually gay (or bisexual), it’s like oh little me, how well you chose.

Living at home is really good in that it’s like free rent, no bills (though I do pay for the phone/internet bills), parents provide food, and I do like my siblings.

But just every once in a while, my mum or my dad would just have to say or do something so---so---un-informed or mis-informed that makes me want to arrggsdgfhfjareiwsdfksdfsjkl

progress slowed

with many things I need to do over the coming weeks, and with a number of RA asks now in my ask box...there will be a delay in my writing of said prompts. Hopefully though, I’ll get them done before the year is out ;P
