Midnighters Fan Art

Posted on by scott

I recently ran across my all-time favorite piece of Midnighters fan art. Here are Bixby’s fab five as envisioned by Shira-chan:

What makes this so great is that all the characters have been transformed into manga-tastic superheroes. Dess is a mathy warrior goddess. Melissa and Rex are brooding goth magicians. Jonathan hovers a bit out of the group, a sly smirk on his face. And Jessica really looks very 11:59, from a different world than the rest of them. And yet she’s still totally cool—her flashlight like a rock star’s microphone in her hand.

Even the details are delicious:

Rex’s book is full of black post-its. (Where do you get those? I need them.)

Acariciandote sparkles on Jess’s wrist.

Jonathan’s t-shirt has a corporate-logo version of the acrobat sign on it.

Dess has pi on her t-shirt!

Go here to check out Shira-chan’s Deviant Art page, where many other fabulous pieces (and a slightly larger version of this one) can be found.

In Other News:

1) Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother, as mentioned here, can be downloaded for free now. Cory does this with all his books, so you taste before you buy, or just read the whole thing for free.

2) Here’s an interview with me at Gateway Magazine.

3) Leviathan proceeds apace!

  4. C’est fantastique!

    An interesting interpretation of the gang, to be sure (I for one did not envision Rex as wearing that much metal) but I still love it. 😀

  5. That is a fawesome picture!!!!1I love it! Its really cool. It’s like the perfect interpretation of the Midnighters if it ever became a manga sereis. Like you know how Vampire Kisses did?

  10. I love the picture. I serioulsy wish my artistic capabilities were that high. My cousin (the artist) seems to have stolen it all. Oh well…

  11. That’s some of the greatest fan art I’ve seen for Midnighters! I wish I could draw like that.

    I got a copy of Little Brother, and I hope to have it signed Monday when he comes to my school! I’ve read about 6 chapters and it’s really good so far.

  15. OMG! Thats is really awesome! I love it! I could never do that…nor remember all the stuff from the book like the bracelet.

  16. That is totally fawesome. Rex’s hair is hilarious.

    Bran-la, when did you read the Midnighters books?? You don’t even remember the bracelet?? okay…someone’s been skimming…

  18. Kailyx-wa! lucky! weve NEVER had anyone famous come to our scool. or city even! stupid unknown towns that little kids cant spell…

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  19. Cool! Has it ever happened to you where you see a manga of a book and then when you read it, you see things happen in manga. That’s what happened to me with Howl’s Moving Castle. I had seen the movie, and then read the book later on. It was a bit tricky trying to imagine the characters as real live human people instead of cartoon people. It was kind of weird.

  22. *GASP!* BRAN-LA TAKE THAT BACK!!!

    hehe. woops! that caps lock guy was supposed to come yesterday…hhhhmmmm…

    CHASING MIDNIGHT WEREWOLVES FOREVAAAAAAA!!!!!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀

  25. wait wat….y did that get posted i wasnt done
    anyway…
    so we were at petsmart and there were 3 sisters and one of them imeaditly caught my eye so i went up to it and started petting it and stuff and it LOVED ME…it’s name…Tally. i like died right there but then this little girl came nad adopted her!!! 🙁 i mean its a good thing she got a home but i was like MY LOVE…but even better news we adopted Tally’s sister Tandy…were not keeping that name we havent thought of one yet

    i tried to convience my family Shay is a great name but they were all mehh and so i said Dess and they were all o.0

  26. SCOTT!!!!

    I’m highly frightened! I’ve been doing some research on the FUTURE OF BOOKS aka electronic books like the sony reader and amazon’s Kindle. What do you think of these? I think you really need to write a post about em, quick like!

    and for everyone else, what do you think of losing beautiful paper bound books?

    now i’m off to go download little brother for free…. *shudder*

    also GREAT ART!

    LISET!!!

  27. man i missed coment 26 this time but that picture is FAWESOME it’s so FOOL i can’t beleive how good it is i think that it is so good that it is to good

  32. ya yahoo answers is addicting is it not i found a way to stop my addiction though

  34. i cant stop!!! i turned of my computer hoping i would stop but then….i came back and turned it on. I must go hide in a corner!

  37. Amazing, Superawesome as can be and just the way I imagined it.

    Dess looks just about ready to kick arse with her mad mic stand.

    Melissa with her earphones.

    Rex… the lore… with flippin post its! xD love it

    Jonothan oh so cute *sigh*

    Jess so hardcore rocking the flash light.

    Wonderfully done.

    -Jenn

  41. They’re inside Dess’s fortress thing-a-ma-bob!!!
    Yeah, you probably have no clue what I’m talking about
    but, like, the thing Jess half-ruined…when they were figuring out her power…
    if you look by Jonathan’s foot you can see this glowing fence and that’s what it reminded me of…

  42. Okay, Bran-la, just pick up a good book that you’ve already read and while you’re reading think all the reasons Yahoo! Answers is unimportant…even though I like it, too.
    Yeah, I’m with Lizzy-wa…
    To the duct-tape!

  46. Isn’t Blue Noon book 3, not 2? If I’m right, then the interview page has them flipped around.

    Liset, I don’t think hard books are going anywhere for at least a few years. Any time past that depends on the adaption rate. They are great space savers. My only problem is that I doubt I will be able to read them easily…

    And a Midnighters anime? That has potential for amazingness, but I would prefer a manga first. And I’d put it at the top of my reading list, since I would love to have more. Either way, the idea is exciting.

  47. Go Shira-chan! That’s amazing! The details are fantastic!
    And I can’t wait for Leviathan. I kept thinking that it sounded so familiar, and now I remember we talked about it in AP Euro class. Thomas Hobbes wrote a book called Leviathan.
    Yippee! =]
    <3

  56. Omg! Omg! I have been addicted to yahoo andswers that I forgot to get on the westerblog! O well I’m on my phone now! Gosh, getting so forgetful these days.

    My stomach burns cause I just did 50 sit-ups. Yep yep. I’m trying to get all mucely or however u spell it.

    Srry I forgot! Haha bibi!

  60. Liset:

    digital books = bad. so not the same.

    digital newspapers = fawesome. i read about some in China that don’t have LCD screens, so they have the same brightness as paper and they’re flexible, so that it feels good in your hand. And the screens are small and convenient. The only reason our country sticks with paper paper is tradition. books are different; they’re immortal. you just don’t throw them away. but newspaper? I mean, come on, the digital idea would save literally billions of trees.

  61. I love Dess’s shirt.

    …I want a shirt with pi on it. -.- Well, off to Buffalo Exchange to find said shirt, then.

    And I am so downloading the Little Brothers book. Go ebooks!

  63. -Sighs wanting another book to read-I wish Scott would hurry up already and give in and write a 4th book!

  64. he should write more books because of the new covers, he needs one with each person on it

  65. Audrey-Sensei, “save literally billions of trees”? From where? You do know that they grow their own trees for paper, and then replant them when they cut those down, right? They really aren’t getting rid of anything special. Besides, the old trees aren’t helpful anyway, since they need less oxygen.

    Also, flexible epaper style readers are always prefered to
    normal in my mind. I mean, have a charging pad (if you haven’t heard, they will soon be able to wirelessly charge any of your gadgets on a pad just by touching it, using alternating currents and such.) with wifi, leave the paper there overnight, and have the paper downloaded at midnight or whenever they release the issue, and you can read it whenever. Add RSS feed functuality and some other goodies, and you have an amazing gadget.

    (I’m not bothering to proofread any of that, since I’m going to be the only one who can stand to read it all anyway :P)

    And now that the rambling is done:

    Black post its: http://www.dailycandy.com/new_york/article/228/Postits+Painted+Black

    I’m just that bored 😛

  69. hey i found black post-its but i guess i wont tell you where

  71. OHMYGOD!!! black post-its=39 KINDS OF FAWESOME!!! i just ordered four packs! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (i wood have ordered more, but im almost broke. i had to beg for a credit card number!!!) hehe.

    and Audrey-la. they shood TOTALLY stop having paper newspapers! there so wasteful and killing! violence is never the answer! hehe.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! :mrgreen:

  72. Does NO ONE listen to me?!? making paper isn’t violent. you know how they make corn, right? imagine that, but with trees. THAT is how they get the paper for newspapers and such. Since it is younger, its softer. Hardwood breaks the machines, which is what the old growth forests are.

    On to the next topic: You can’t say violence isn’t the answer Lizzy-wa when you’re talking about nature, since nature is violent. Trees fight daily for survivial against their own offspring. Sun, ground space, water, and other things are limited. Especially in the rain forests. You want to know what makes them so contained? The trees fight each other, and don’t waste anything. As soon as one tree goes down, another takes what it was using. And you never know when it rains in a rain forest, except for the slight trickle that the trees up top can’t gather. Please do your research next time before you go into environmentalist territory, since I really want to go vent somewhere right now after this.

  73. whats the big deal with black post-its? Id rather have pink, orange, lime green, ect. I like bright colors!

    Ok, the reason i have not been on a lot is because i have had SO much hw. At least 10 things to do a day and they aren’t easy. + finals are coming up. + im addicted to yahoo answers. So yes, i have some serious (and some not so serious) things going on right now.

    Dont miss me too much!

  74. same here Bran-la! it’s been pretty crazy. i only have 5 1/2 more days. so it’s cram time. all my teachers are throwing posters and huge review packets and portfolios at us and where like ahhh!! tonight i have to write 1 story, write captions for like 15 pictures. (captions have 2 sentences each. with tons of detail. how do you write a detailed caption about a person sleeping??!) and i have to make 2 posters. and write a few paragraphs in spanish describing my poster. and tonight i babysat, had my final dance practice before our rectial, and had my final band concert. wayyyy.. too… much… stuff!! (and that was only tonights stuff!)

  77. and I like bright colors, too but seriously
    BLACK POST-ITS?
    I’ve been ranting all day
    my friends are about to sent me to an insane asylum
    oh, and Lizzy-wa, you are SO FREAKING LUCKY
    in this house, black post-it notes are just something me and Becca obsess over until we get grounded
    my smo thinks they’re idiotic

    but I’ve had mountains of homework (7th grade, you know, sucks to do it twice(no I was no held back for anyone who missed this conversation))
    plus my smom had twins and my mom had triplets
    if you can imagine that chaos
    TZ-la
    I’m a completely idiotic tree hugger
    ‘kay, yeah, I ranted now

  81. Netta-la i was talking about the homework that i am drownding in. (yes, maybe i’m a little dramatic. too bad.)

    wow. i think i’m losing it guys. i coulda swore i posted another comment on here. ranting about how it was like 1:04 a.m. and i wasn’t done with my homework still. now it’s 2:22 a.m. and guess what still not done. *cries* i have a free homework pass (for kicking butt in this one game) but i don’t know if she’ll let me use it since this is a project. i still have to write 2 paragraphs for spanish, color my poster, and cut and tape my pictures.

  83. I have to finish a book
    seriously
    it is the stupidest thing I’ve ever written
    almost everything that I write in school is..I can’t even come up with a word for the horror

    I’m in all honors, too!
    well, sorta
    GT
    REACH
    honors

    all the same thing

  85. I just saw this picture and fell in love.

    ’tis stimulating to see the characters like this. I find the depictions striking.

    Très cool.

    🙂

  86. ok, i have a question for all you ppl out there.

    Who believes in God? Ill explain why i asked when i come back. Like later later later. or tomorrow! haha idk. later.

  89. I asked because latly i had just been questionsing my religion so i was wondering who believed! Haha

    I dont have as much hw today! yeah!

  90. Oh, yeah I go to Church every Sunday and Church groups on Tuesdays and Thursdays upon my own choice and I do believe in God of course. I go to an Evangelical Christian Church, how bout you?

  91. Presbyterian
    we don’t go to church every Sunday
    mainly on holidays
    but it’s really hard with as many people as we have in my family
    you can’t get everyone up early enough
    I’ve slept until one in the afternoon on a Sunday before

  93. woah. comments much!!!

    as for CJ-la: i am TOTALLY confuzzled. like, seriously. confuzzled. c-o-n-f-u-z-z-l-e-d. confuzzled. hehe. thats fun to type!

    homework sucks. scool sucks. i have *counts* six projects going on rite now. five of wich are from my language/ss teacher. (she teaches both). i dont no why, but she came up with this freeky idea that its good to have more than one project going on at once so that if we finish one early, we can still have sompthin to do. well guess what?!?!?! NO BODY HAS THE TIME TO FINISH EARLY WHEN THEY ARE DUE IN TWO WEEKS!!!!!

    stupid caps lock. hehe.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  94. Oh, agreed! HaHa, sheesh! I just turned in a 15 page report on the Civil War, that was really not very fun to write. Research Reports suck the fun out of writing those freaking FUN SUCKERS! And I have to do a power point presentation on it and write a persuasive essay and a science project and a mountain of math homework and a spanish interwiew project. And this is the end of the year, which means that’s a light load. I wouldn’t be surprised if my backpack weighed more than me…

  95. Amazingly, I’m still alive, though my end-of-the-year-we-can’t-torture-you-until-next-year-so-we-better-give-you-half-a-billion-projects-oh-and-don’t-you-dare-forget-about-the-6000-Spanish-finals-while-cramming-for-the-math-exam-that-determines-wether-or-not-you-can-graduate-from-highschool-in-5-years-AND-JOIN-THE-FREAKING-MARCHING-BAND-WHILE-YOUR-AT-IT-BECAUSE-ALL-OF-US-HIGHSCHOOLERS-HATE-YOU days are still continuing, I weighed my backpack once, on a normal day with normal amounts of homework…40 POUNDS..

  97. Holy Crap! That can NOT be good for my back. *shakes head* That’s 54 pounds. Not good, not good. I am going to be crippled by the time I start HighSchool.

  98. that’s a lot for a backpack i weighed mine and it only weighed about 25 pounds well i guess that is still alot isnt it well i am not as swamped with home work as you guys are in fact today i didn’t get any home work YAH well i dont have to take finals either so this next week and a half i don’t got much to do btw what grade are you in tally&zane just wondering talk to you alls laters

    Special-pretty-uglie-extra-twilghtlover-edward/jonathan/david -PEEP

  101. sorry this is off topic but i was wondering if anyone knows about any updates on the Uglies movie? because it looks like the idea has either been put on a long pause or had just been dismissed.. anybody know anything?? =/

  103. hello! so today has been good. i got this wire that had been bugging me taken out of my mouth at the ortho then i came home and my friend called me and told me to get out to the park for the rustler staff party (newspaper) cuz they forgot to invite me since i was added late. and so i was walking up the sidewalk and this guy comes running at me and gives me a hug and i didn’t even know him. so i hungout there for a little while. and i got this uber fawesome waterbottle that says *insert city name here* Journalism 2008 and it has a monster truck on it for some reason. it’s pretty sweet though! i loves it. okay well just stopped in to say hey. must go work on pile of homework. laters!

  104. Yeah, the end of the year gets rough for me. I am studying for my final exams. So yeah. And i have a science project to work on. So yep yep.

    Lol, Kay-wa. I thought the water bottle really said *insert City name here* instead of your city. I was like, “why would they put that?” Hehe, but i understand now.

    I got The Host brom B&N today! i have only read the first 2 chapters (and the prologue) and it rocks! Although it is a tad confusing.

  105. Btw, i am catholic but for some reason i have always had a hard time believe. Trust me, i want to believe, but for some reason my mind and my heart dont connect. My mind challenges the religion while my heart says “go for it!” It is confusing! Me dont no what to do…

  107. I finished it about a week ago, I think it gets better as you get further into the book. And Bran-la, if you’re confuzed bout what you feel then I’m just wondering, do you know enough about you’re religion to understand what you believe? Cuz that might be a way to help you sort it out…

  108. Lizzy-wa, trust me, I’ve barely hit on anything. This kind of stuff interests me, so I try to understand it. But some people never even bother. Which is why Earth Day should just crawl up in a corner and die.

    Religion is never a good subject for me, since the ranting gets even worse.

    And thanks no one for provoking me, I just like to pop in randomly. I’ll get out of your hair now 🙂

  109. when i was typing that i was wondering if anyone would read it and be confused lol.

    i’m like super excited for Rustler. it’s gonna be fawesome! the people are like amazing! and they get to go out to lunch. cuz newspaper meets 3rd block…which is 2 hrs. — and most classes have 30 mins. lunch, 90 mins. class but Rustler has 45 mins. of Rustler, 45 mins. of nothing, and 30 mins. of lunch, plus passing time. so basically i get an hour and 15 mins. to do whatever. and i know some of the staff goes out to lunch a few times per week. i don’t know how since we have a closed campus but they always bring my spanish teacher food and she shares with us cuz she’s awesome like that. well anyways. sleep time. night.

  110. that is soooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!
    i can’t read all those comments for the life of me, cuz i haven’t been here in like a week.
    we went to the midnight show for prince caspian last night-SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good…i luv it sooooo much, even better than the book.
    if any of u haven’t seen it, you really should….can’t wait till it comes out on DVD!!

  112. Well, actually I can
    I can’t decide which of my best friends I am going to go with tomorrow
    they both want me to do something with them at conflicting times

  114. haha I never even attempt to read all the comments anymore- I don’t have time (cough cough or the cough patience hack cough wheeze faint…cough). I had school today -.- I have school until May 30th. *twitches* evil school…
    So… Um UMRchilde-wa Narnia is just a bunch of people sword fighting and speaking in those, as you’d say it, “nifty old english accent.” I dont dare go see it. Right now Im reading a new book called “The Chicken Dance.” Or at least it’s new to my library…
    It’s an okay book. My ankle is feeling much better- I can walk on it perfectly fine, but it’s still super swollen and hurts of i move it to the side or mess with it alot. obviously. And if Anyone here is wondering, I’ve given up on Becca… I’ll have to tell you about my “super fantastical” time in Atlanta with her and two other crazy-yet-fun girls… ttyl.

  115. I do know about my religion. I just dont get how im supose to believe the thngs they dont get from the bible.

  117. Um making paper is one cause of global warming fot those ppl who decide to believe it’s happening. The carbon dioxide is realeased into the air bc that tree kinda has that in it. If you cut down trees, CD is realeased and who-knows-wat happens to the athmosphere when that happens. And it kills trees, altho i have to say that CJ went a little far when going through the whole offspring survival thing…
    Tally&Zane i read your comment- #78. I’m in the 7th grade, so if we get MORE in 8th I think i might seriously DIE!!!!
    Btw about the religion thing I’m a catholic- the strictest christian religion there is… and just to clear this up we don’t pray TO saints- we pray asking the saints to pray for us to God. Just thought I’d clear that up, considering people get confused on that subject. BTW I pictured the characters exactly like in the picture except Jonathan but I pictured them wearing less…gothic…? stuff.

  119. scott-la,

    maureen johnson said that all the YA authors live in a big mansion together… i just wanted to ask how big is this mansion? who is the most annoying person in the mansion? did someone really blast the high school musical soundtrack? if so, who was it? anyway… that is all.

    Amy~la

  120. Okay
    I think I might have just cracked
    but this is freaking awesome
    WE HAVE A LOCKER NUMBER 266 ½!!!
    see, I told you I’d cracked
    but really, we do
    they put two 266s and changed one to 266 ½

  121. Oooh, I see! K, so Bran-la, some Churches nowadays don’t always preach from the Bible, some believe differently, and from what I’m interpreting is thats kinda how your Church is(?) Yes no maybe so?
    Anywho, if it is then I would suggest looking into other Churches or Study Groups in your community….Yes there is more homework. Much. I think my head shall explode any moment now from over-exposure to knowledge. What a way to go. I can see my funeral now, “Ah, she was a talented girl. A great student, what a shame it is for her to be gone….” “Oh that’s awful, how’d the poor dear pass?” *wipes tear* ” She Spontaneously combusted from learning to much,” *says matter-of-factly*….Yep. That’s exactly how it will be….

  122. Haha. Well, i dont no if any of you are Catholic but Catholics also preach from what is…assumed i suppose. Like, Catholics believe Mary is a virgin and Catholics believe that one of the only ways to get to Jesus is through the heart of Mary which means tons of hail marys and rosaries. But i dont understand how they would get some of the stuff they teach if they never actually read it some where. I did do some classes and they never talked about how we got any of the information. I think for now i can just believe in what is written and try to figure out the rest!

    Uh, i dont want to study for finals… I hate school. Some of the things they twach is pointless. I am wondering but when in the world are we going to have to no how to find a Direct Object in a sentence? Why would we need to no that?!?!

  123. Bran-la that isn’t true. I’m catholic as I said and yes we do believe mary was a virgin- that was the only way for Jesus to be born w/o sin. lso, we dont think you HAVE to pray the rosary and such to get to heaven, we do that so Mary would pray for us and such.
    Why in the world am i going to have to know three ways to say the square root of 9? O_o And why do I need to know the entire history of China and India and Asia? I live in the US and I STILL dont find it important to learn a whole lot about the US history…

  124. okay guys. Am i just slow or am I the first person to figure out that Philadelphia has twelve letters- a darkling number- and that’s where Jonathan moved from!!??

  125. Wow……… ummmm…… i haven’t been on here in like years. more like months but what eva. so anyone care to fillme in on what we are talking about?
    well i have been so busy. Track, Trying to get all A’s, Running 3 milies every night, Homework, Tests, CRCT, NOvel Projects, my brothers graduation, painting the kichen and extra bedroom, cleaning uo everything, just to busy. i hardly have time to read anymore. the only thing i really have tiome for is to write.

    so ya….
    how is everyone?

    Sophie-La

  126. hey Sophie-la! it’s been too long! you need to visit the site more!

    ……i’ve been so very up and down latly. with next years class scheduling. like Thursday was great… i found out i made the main photographer for the Rustler (school newspaper) and went to the party and met the fawesome staff. but then yesterday my band teacher found out that i’m dropping band for Rustler and he flipped on me. so that wasn’t so good. and he almost made me cry…. i was on the verge of tears. my upper lip curled up and it was just not good. and i’m kinda freaked that he’ll mess with my grade because of it. (i’m a straight A student. haven’t gotten a B+ since like the beginning of 6th grade… and now i’m going into 10th. …so if he gives me a B i’m gonna be pretty p.o.ed.) and then this morning i went to my parents business to work on this presentation thing for journalism and my grandpa was the only one there with me and i was like almost done with my thing and all i asked him to do was wait 5 more minutes so he could take me home. and he freakin left me! so i had to call my mom to come get me. and i don’t really like stayin there all alone cuz it’s creepy cuz it’s like been broke into 2 times in the last year. so yeah i pretty much think my grandpa is an ahole now. (not the only reason i think that though. he trys to convince me that i’m not good enough to be a photographer.) so pretty much i’m done with him.

  127. Emily-wa, you’re forgetting a little fact: Trees need CO2 to live and grow. They have a natural need for it, so they release it when they die, and let others use it. When old trees die, they sort of pass it on, and the other trees can use it to grow and stuff. Don’t get me wrong, its still vicious, but they don’t waste. They’re dead AND inanimate, what the hell are they going to do with it?

  129. heyy pplz! i just got home from the book store (borders) and guess wat i got!? all the midnighter books and The last days annd Peeps! soo kool! im gonna go read them now bye bye 4 now!

  130. ants are invading!!! and my moms gonna kill me. she told me to clean my room like a week ago..(cuz i had a big party and my friends left all there half filled pop cans and all this junk in my room and i cleaned up a lot of it but i left the pop cans.) and so i look up and theres like hundreds of them crawling around on my coffee table where the pop cans are. and so i killed a hundred or so. but there are still a ton more crawling around. and i haven’t told my mom yet because she’s sleeping. but when she finds out she’ll flip because she’s like already really stressed with my brothers graduation party coming up and now ants are in the room where my cousins are gonna sleep. eh… not so good. the person who said “cats have 9 lives” got it wrong! ANTS have 9 lives!! i smash them and they just keep crawling out of the papertowel and onto my hand. and i smash it again… and well you get the point. hmmm… i wonder if ants are smart enough to crawl out of my trash can? i don’t know. but i’ve pretty much torn my room apart in my killing spree.

  131. meghan-la, it looks like you scored. I still have to get some money to finish off my collection of books…

    Kay-wa, we have ant infestion yearly. Its horrible, since they always stop and stare when I go to the bathroom @_@. Still, just keep it up, they normally leave my house. if not, trap them and drop them into a fire pit. Run away just in case you used any chemicals (which I wouldn’t advise in fire, but hey, you have to kill them somehow…).

  132. eeew, ants always live in my house. usually in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom though. every summer they come in. trick is just to keep it clean and try to avoid.
    luckily, i’ve never had any in my room.

    still. nothing worse than having a wasp’s nest in your bathrom. NOTHING.

    ugh, i’m totally sick and it sucks.

    man i wish i had some better books around to read. oh well. i’ll write some stories about people possessed by demons and watch more Buffy. ha ha, Riley’s gone now! hooray for Spike!
    ow. stupid headache.

  133. okay let me just say this: NARNIA IS NOT ABOUT PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND WITH SWORDS AND ACCENTS! okay, it’s a really good story about betrayal and victory and loss and even some romance and feuds and kingdoms and power…i hate when people generalize. i really really really really (etc.) hate it.like srsly.
    and also, i’m a Catholic and most of the stuff that we believe in is from the Bible. yes, we believe Mary was a virgin, and no, we don’t believe that u have 2 pray a lot of Rosaries to get to heaven. it certainly helps, of course. think about it: in one Hail Mary, u ask her to pray for u twice, and in a rosary u say 53 of them, so u basically ask her to pray for u 106 TIMES! and she’s like, aside from Jesus Himself, the closest person ever to God, that’s pretty good!
    i’m not saying that u have to be a Catholic or anything. but i do believe that being Catholic fills somewhere in u that couldn’t be filled with anything else.

  134. haha. nice plan CJ. well good new is i haven’t seen a single ant since i went on my killing spree last night.

    today has been completely crazy! Commencement was today and my brother graduated and i had to play in the band. so we were rushing around to try and get ready this morning and then like right before the ceremony my brother got in a car accident. luckily no one was hurt and not much damage was done. but it made everything a little more crazy and hectic. and so my parents drove over there and i had to jump out of the convertible and run to the band section so i wouldn’t get in trouble for being late. and so after that most of it went smoothly. when my brother walked across the stage to get his diploma everyone started booing. lol. (not at him. the grads were throwing around a beach ball and a teacher took it away so everyone booed at the teacher and my brother thought that everyone was booing at him. lol.) so yeah. pretty crazy.

  136. My friend’s birthday party was Saturday
    I wore a “new” shirt (It wasn’t really new but I hadn’t worn it before)
    We ended up going to the mall
    we went in hot topics
    the shirt was pink…like BRIGHT
    people gave me creepy looks
    Take no offense if you shop at hot topics, they have cool stuff, but I still got creepy looks

    at least I wasn’t like my friend who has gone in there before wearing a bright yellow dress with her hair in a pink bow

  139. WARNING: IF YOU UPSET ME I MIGHT RIP YOUR HEAD OFF
    I was going to California this summer (6 and a half days left of school!)
    Which would be totally fawesome cuz I still haven’t gotten to see Eleanor, Sarah or Sophie (my moms newborns)
    But MARY (Smom, step-mom) thought it would be better if we all stayed home with Keith and Jeremy, HER kids
    I see Keith and Jeremy all the time
    THEY LIVE WITH US
    Anyways, Mom’s coming here

    and you DO NOT want Mary and Mom in the same room

  141. ooo that stinks Netta-la.

    tomorrow is my last full day of school!! but i have finals that i am sooooo very not prepared for. just got done shopping. tons of new clothes! 😀 …we had a 40% thing for AE. so it was very happy-making! well gotta go study. laters!

  142. ooooo that really stinks netta-la!!! good luck!!

    i’m still angry/sad/mad tho!!!!!!
    gtg and do schoolwork 😡
    blech

  146. i bet it’s because you guys get more days off during the school year than we do. like we get a day off for spring break. most places get a full week. so it probably evens out in the long run.

  147. I still don’t understand what’s up with my school
    shorter breaks
    starts earlier(than it used to)
    ends later (””)

  148. Hello people. I am very bad. I no. Right now you are going…were have u been! And i ma here today to say that i have been busy. today was my math final. i only have one more final which means more time to talk to U guys. Yeah.

    My teachers are mean so they decided to give me a project on my last 5 and a half days of school. But the good news is its baout our favorite author. so of course i choose Scott Westerfeld. So i will doing all this reseach and stuff on you. Luckily, i have had experience one your blog and htere for i no u well.

    I am here to talk people, i will talk, i promise!

  151. Thanks peepsouls(You all…you guys…I’ve been getting a lot of complaints about that word lately)
    My teacher’s gave me tons of projects, too, so I know how you feel
    And I have 2…or is it 3?…finals left
    Well, good luck to you…
    btw, if a test felt easy it doesn’t mean you failed
    same goes for if it felt hard

    Kay-wa, they don’t really LOOK like marijuana leaves
    I think it’d be safe to wear to like school
    unless your teachers are insanely paranoid

  152. OMG! Haha, i was cracking up when i read your post Kay-wa.
    Yes, it is a litle leafish, haha. But its pretty….if that helps.

  153. Hello! Hola! Bon Jour(is that how you spell it?) Guten Tag!
    ME LLAMO BECCA!
    Okay, I think it’s kind of easy to tell mine and Bell’s writing apart but you never know
    So…
    THIS IS BECCA
    Yes, I know I’m lazy for not changing the name but I don’t want to change it back, too.
    Well, I’m never on the computer much so I thought I’d say
    HIIIII!
    Please, do not take your stress of finals out on me
    I don’t have finals, because, well, I’M FIVE
    O, yeah, my birthday was in February
    Well, anyway, not only is Bella taking finals but so are Addie, Jake, and Paul
    So A LOT of stress is being taken out on me
    So, yeah
    once again
    HI!

  160. LALALA
    -Becca
    (ps…the Becca’s only here because Netta(Bella) is my sister and she probably wouldn’t want me to change it)

  162. ew. i have like 2 weeks and 2 days left of school! and lots of finals… ugh… and u guys are lucky, i only have one older sister, i am the youngest-duh- but yeah, i cant wait for summer! and yeah- scott hasn’t blogged something new in a while…
    oh! my backpack seriously weighs like- more than my friends! its insainly heavy…..

  163. Ya…uh…Kay-wa they don’t even come close to resembling marijuana leaves. Like at all. They look like a star and have fives points….and I only know that cuz I did a D.A.R.E. program at school a couple years ago.

  164. kay-wa, no it isnt marijuana… not even close… (there are books in my home ec class that has pictures and it was actually quite funny)

  167. we didn’t have too many breaks… 😥 😥
    sigh. it’s hopeless…
    today’s my older sis’ b-day!!!!!! coolio huh?
    i’m right in the middle. like, plunk…i have two older sibs and two younger sibs. and i’m the only lefty. and i’m the only one w/straight hair (my brother might, but it’s too short to tell). it’s annoying.
    did u guys know that last night john lester pitched a no-hitter? the first lefty since 1956 on the red sox i think. and like two years ago he had cancer. ya. it was cool. he’s only 24 i think…hmmm
    my favorite red sox players r david ortiz, jonathon papelbon and jacoby ellsbury….they’re all cool tho.

  168. haha! lol! well i guess that shows how much i know about marajana! lol.

    so i just got done dancing for 2 hours. …like half my dance class went to my friends house (we have our rectial friday and saturday night) to practice and we like did the dance 2 times and then made up our own interperated dance to this one song by queen. it’s hilarious. and we were dancing on my friends driveway and she lives on a pretty busy street. so all these cars were honking at us. it was pretty funny. sometime we will record it and put it on youtube.

    Tengo mayor hermano.

    hehe. my feets were really dirty from the cement and i was too lazy to get up out of my computer chair and walk the five feet to my bathroom so i used my hand sanitizer and some papertowels to clean them. lol.

  169. Well, my family is confusing
    but here’s everyone I consider my sibling
    oldest to youngest

    Addie (Alison)
    Paul (my step-brother, he’s not much older than me)
    ME!
    Jacob (only a year younger than me)
    Alice (half-sister)
    Becca (a lot of you know her)
    Candy (Candice, actually…half-sister)
    Cameron (half-brother, Sam’s twin)
    Samantha (half-sister, well, see above)
    Eleanor (halfsister, a triplet…Sophie & Sarah)
    Keith (half-brother, twin of Jeremy, born almost SAME EXACT TIME as triplets)
    Sarah (half-sister, above)
    Sophie (half-sister, above)
    Jeremy (half-brother, above)

    yeah, see?
    confusing

    I had dance for an hour today, Kay-wa
    but I had THREE hours yesterday (I missed the first hour, though)
    what kind of dance do you take?

    Eh! I don’t want to sleep!
    Oh, well, night!

  170. yeah you do have a confusing family Netta-la.

    i take Jazz. this week is like crazy with dance. today i had class for 30 minutes to make sure we knew all our spots and basically it was a technical rehearsal then afterwards like i said we went to my friends house for like 2 hours. only 30 minutes or so were actually spent working on the dance that we are performing on Friday and Saturday night. so then tomorrow is my last day of school and we have practice from 6-7 and then i have a schools out party from 7-11 and then Thursday is dress rehearsal from like 4-10 or so. we run through twice. then Friday from like 6-10, same Saturday, and then Sunday i have my brothers graduation party and like tons of relatives are going to come bombard my house. so yeah i’m gonna be really busy until like Monday. so what kind of dance do you take?

  172. i’ve been rereading Blue Noon….finished it in math class today, after wasting all of math and lunch reading the last half and listening to It Goes Off by Skybombers over and over.
    gotta say, away from the surprise, it really is a great book. and a decent ending. i think i’m actually coming to terms with that.
    (NOT TO SAY THAT THERE SHOULDN’T BE MORE, POSSIBLY CENTERING ON A NEW GROUP WITH CAMEOS FROM OUR OLD FRIENDS)
    the new edition’s got some typos though, i noticed. like a chapter that ends in dialouge and no close quotes. and quotes going the wrong way somewhere else…
    also, the header is randomly in a different font on one page. actually, that was kind of cool.
    yeah.
    i now remember why i love Midnighters.

  173. that’s a really confusing family, netta-la…i have a lotta cousins on my mom’s side, actually too many to list!! heehee or maybe i’m just too lazy…………..not sure

  174. has anyone read inkheart/inkspell? really good books, they’re making a movie out of inkheart!!!!!!!

  176. I’ve read most of inkheart
    but then I lost the book and had to start over again when I found it
    still not done
    I can’t seem to keep reading it

  177. I took ballet and jazz for three years from when I was five till eight, and I hated every second of it. Totally not my thing….but it works for other people….

  178. I tried to remeber. I PROMISE!!! I would have came here sooner but i didnt remeber and before u hate me, i tried to rememeber. I did. i so totally did.

    I NEED A REMIDER TO GET ON!!!!!!!! SOMEONE, PLEASE, HELP ME!!!! Y!A IS TAKING OVER MY POOR LITTLE LIFE!!!!! I NEED HELP!!!!!

  179. Well i ahve to go read now! 🙂 adios. i love you all. Please, forgive me, and keep me in your prayers…. *crys*

  181. netta-la: just keep reading!! it’s like one of the best books (aside from scott-sama’s, of course) in the world!!
    another great book is the ranger’s apprentice. it’s SOOOOOOOO good, tho i’ve only read the first book…very very good.

  183. Hahaha! I remembered!! Whoop-whoop. Yep so i thought i would just say that now.

    I am working on a project (i no we have like 3 days left?!?!) and i am working on my book soooo i might not be chatty or anything!!!

    Lots of <3

  186. no
    everytime I read it it gets boring in the same area of the book and then I can’t keep reading
    and I hate bookmarks
    I just remember the page number
    much easier

  189. I…*twitch*…can’t….*twitch*…dog-ear…I hate it
    that’s why Addie can’t borrow my books
    SHE DOG-EARS THEM!

    I lose bookmarks too
    and they’re pretty much just annoying
    they slip inside the book, fall out, etc.

    plus I’m good at memorizing the page
    the last page number I memorized was 173 in The White Darkness, which I’m still reading

  192. i either remember the page or rip a corner off of a piece of paper and use that as a bookmark…
    HOW CAN U THINK INKHEART IS BORING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?!?!?!
    that’s craziness squared. cubed. to the fourth power. to the fifth power. to the millionth power.
    it’s like an epic epic book and u r crazy.
    no offense.

  194. Post-its rule
    but I don’t like to waste them and I loose those too
    JUST ONE PART, UMR-wa
    ONE PART
    ONE PART I CAN’T FINISH READING

  195. Yeah, I had a bit of a hard time finishing Inkheart too.

    oh-my-jonas! I love Post-it notes too–i’ve got them all over my notes!

  197. Is Inkspell better? I haven’t gotten around to reading that yet.

    Wow Netta-la, you have a lot of twin/triplet half-siblings!

  199. I used to take jazz, tap and ballet but I’m not flexible- i am pretty sure that it is impossible for me to touch my toes or do any type of flexible motion because I have such long legs… seriously i hate the flexible stuff. So because we spent at LEAST half our dance time stretching (and I was close to tears nearly the entire time) I quit. It makes me mad that I cant be flexible because I love doing the actual dances and the whole recital thing. I cant make dance team, either, because we always have to do a toe-touch in our try-outs and in the dance we have to do, last time we had to do a can-can type thing. I couldn’t get my leg up like, a foot without bending my knee. 🙁
    By the way, CJ, if they continue cutting down trees and releasing the CO2, there will be less trees to take it in, along with humans overpopulating producing MORE CO2 *BREATHE* thus ending in the athmosphere damaged by the CO2 and us all becoming fried human. And animal. 😉
    A guy in my class read Inkheart and is currently reading Inkspell. Apparently it’s really good. I’ve added it to my neverending list of books to read…
    hey anyone here think that making T-shirts with the same stuff as the ones on scott-la’s store on them would be illegal? Bc they’re expensive and the ones I like aren’t even in my size O_o

  200. Ive got two older brothers- Christopher, engaged to Melissa, father to my niece Lana Annette, age 23, graduated from college- and Brandon. Brandon is in college and has a girlfriend, Jackie, who’s like and artsy person who has like a moving-truckload of art stuff. I’ve also got a little sister, Stephanie, who’s in fith grade, age 11. She’s evil. Enough said.
    Hmmm…. I just finished Twilight. Pretty good book. yes, I must admit, I dog-ear pages ONLY IF I cant find anything to use as a bookmark *cough or if cough i am hack too lazy cough wheeze to use one hack cough collapse…cough.* It was my friend’s copy of Twilight and was in pretty bad shape… lol. I have to wait until Tuesday to get New Moon from her because of Memorial Day. Stupid Snow Days… i’m going until the last Friday of June.

  204. i’m actually really flexible. i can do the splits. but i’m not one for the air. like i can kinda do toe-touches but i don’t keep my back straight enough. i had my recital tonight. it went soooooo very well! we might have been a tad bit fast. other than that no one messed up. and it was so much fun because we are like these gothic/punk/chicks who are like get out of my way….. and we are all attitude. i looked so mean. it was fawesome though. we perform once more tomorrow night. 😀

  205. haha fawesome Kay-wa. Sorry about the twilight thing Serafina Zane. Had to mention it 😉 I feel the same way about posting about other books by different authors (and scott-la didn’t mention on the blog). yes, it’s really good. probably at a tie with my favorite single-book, Fever 1793. Very good, kinda sad. It’s my LA teacher’s fave and she let me borrow it to read on the bus ride to Atlanta, GA on my 7th grade trip.

  207. fawesome, bran-la!! im catholic too!!! i find so few others where i am, mainly at catholic youth conventions, but thats kinda a no-brainer as to why that is. sorry havent even read the past like 100 comments, so i hav no clu wats going on & stuff, but yea. hey tally&zane, im a pre-fish, too(fixing to leave 8th grade) i feel your pain. stress-wise with all the homework, projects, and finals and all, and back-pack-weight-wise. its all so stupid!!!! they tell us that we need to enjoy life & childhood while it lasts, but how’re we s’posed 2 do that wen we liv our hole childhood for the ‘all-mighty, all-important, life-deciding’ tests!!! those ppl in charge of skools r so brain-missing!!! aaarrrghhh!!! …k. my rant is over now. onto more happy subjects, all of my finals and TAKS tests are over now!!!! i did good, too!!! gosh, i really need to get out of honors classes for next year. this year was bad enough. ugh! NO. MORE. SAD-MAKING. SUBJECTS!!!!!!!!!! so anyways…….. GO NINJAS!!! & SPIDERMAN!!!! hey scott, this is totally random, but that would be so cool is spiderman was a midnighter. but wud he hav a special midnighter power, sice he already has super-powers!!! hhhmmmmmm……. contemplation…. wooo!!!!!!!!!! 13 letters!!!! go anti-darklingness!!!!!!! noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! without the anti on that previous word, its a darkling word!!!!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁 okay, i am getting waaaaaaaaaaaay off subject now… o yea!!!!!! the wholereason i was here, even though i havent ben in like forever, the picture!!!!!!!!

    ITS LIKE THE FAWESOMEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    scott, even if this sounds kinda retarded, u should totally make a tv show series with them being all animated manga-supereroes and all!!! that would be totally the fawesomest ever!!!!!!!!! then you wouldn’t have to worry about bad actors ruining the show!!! (nor would anyone have to worry about special effects – that can also ruin the appearnce of a book made into a movie/tv show. )

    k. that has got to be my longest post ever. i doubt anyone will een read it, since its so long, and basically pointless. sorry about that to anyone who actually read the whole thing. lol i gess im just 9in a really talkative mood rite now. i don’t think im hyper, tho, cuz im not screaming my head off, or running around like a Hammie(over the hedge), bugging everyone i happen to come in contact with. wow. i really need to stop typing. my fingers are going to be too worn out to play my flute 2moro in band. that would be a shame, since were playing like one of the fawesomest songs possible: star wars!!!! its a really hard version(okay, well not hard for me, but an extremely advanced version) of it, and is very fun to play. lol okay ill try to go get a life now. maybe ill go outside. draw with chak… sing random nursery rhymes at the top of my lungs… aaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! must. stop. typing. NOW. k l8rz guyses…. my new posting name will be rainbowninjathatluvspinkandbubblesandzane! bye! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  208. Hey man, it turns out nothing is life-deciding in 8th grade. When you wander your way into junior year you’ll realize how stress-making everything becomes.

  209. The only thing I don’t like maybe is that Rex looks a bit too punky. Yeah he had short spikey hair but I don’t know I never imagined him like that. I guess I don’t have any imagination when it comes to visualizing faces. 🙂 Still great picture!

  210. i love this picture they look awsome and if you havent guessed i am a huge fan of this series!!!!!!

  212. this picture is awsome.
    i just finished the second bool in the trilogy and i love it.
    but i pictuerd Rex his hair is his face..not up.
    and i pictured Jessica with curly hair.
    but this picture is great.

  213. WOW! totally kewl. although i would change rexs hair.
    but otherwise UBBER AWESOME!
    Its Grodey like kewl!

  215. Z0mg… bro…. dis is dafully awesome thing i was looking for would u like to have this published into da paper mate? NICE PIC m8 🙂

  216. This picture is quite fab. It is very colourful and I very much like it. I love how the moon shines over the people. It makes me feel very happy.

  230. Beautiful !!

    I Love Midnighters ! and Dess is extraordinary ^^

    so .. I’m waiting for “Touching Darkness” and “Bleu noon” . It isn ‘ t coming out in Belgium =/

    Big Big Kiss From a Belgian (Little) Girl to the Best Author Ever ^^

  231. I bought a refurbished Kindle 2 few days back. I have no words to describe this product. First of all you must know I am a voracious reader and read more than 4 books a month. The problem I always faced was what to do with those books after I am done. Don’t get me wrong I would like to have them all in my collection but I have a job which takes me places and I can not carry all my books with me which is actually a lot. With Kindle I found a solution to the problem. Now I have a digital library instead of having a physical one.

    Secondly, I take public transport from my home to office and it takes me more than an hour and a half one side. I would like to read on the way but my eyes get strained if I read on a bus. Along came Kindle…. now when I am on a bus I start text to speech and listen all the way to the office. This increased my reading time and I have started finishing a lot more books than before. This feature uses a lot of battery and the battery lasts for maximum 2-3 days but it is worth it.

    Thirdly, I love the way it looks. Its sleek design and the way I can hold in one hand(any one) and keep reading.

    Also there are a few books which are available on Kindle only by Amazon and believe me it is a great collection and don’t forget the free kindle books Amazon give as a promotion every few days. Its awesome.

    Now the problems… Kindle is good for reading but not for browsing through the book. I like to quickly browse through a book before a start reading it but it is not possible here. Also when using the table of contents etc the 5 way stick is not very comfortable a way to go. Browsing web becomes problematic for the same reason.

    If anybody likes to read books like I do, Kindle is worth every penny. The Nice to have and Great to have features of this device far far outweigh the problem with the 5 way stick. A must have device for every reader.

  232. i love it…it’s totally awsome…i wish I was a midnighter…it would be cool if the whole world was just like this trilogy…it is just so awsome…but thing is…i don’t think the artist got rex’s hair and johnathan’s clothes right…im pretty sure rex’s hair was pretty down similar to johnathan’s and johnathan seems to be more of a long sleeve guy…but still very good

  234. WAAIT!
    im not gone yet
    im David luver cuz its my name on the update on the uglies movie blog so i figured why change it!

  237. If it’s currently the secret hour (in the pic) wouldn’t Rex not need his glasses? Still looks cool though.

  240. diverse travesty surgery clinics with surgeons with the orthodox certifications that were fitted to do my procedure. Some of the surgeons I ground turned old to be liposuction specialists, so you should allow bring into being to assured that you log in sift through for specialists in your area

  242. sweet. This is pretty much how I pictured all the characters.. Except the Flyboy in my head was less evil looking…. I like this one better though.

  243. I really don’t like it :S mainly because it’s not how i pictured them at all and I don’t think it captures them really .. it’s just generically dark manga but whatever.. if the authors happy.
