So hi, (this situation might be unique) but I plan on taking the October weekend SAT with accommodation

My school is online, so they don't do anything SAT-related; they told me, so I'm filling out the form to go through without the school

I do have a 504 plan, but it doesn't have extended time (because at my school you can submit your work at any time), so it's not in my 504 plan, but it's on my neuropsych evaluation papers

I'm asking whether I need to send the full evaluation paper in or just the recommended accommodations paper?

My class size is 1245, I'm 242 so just under 20% so I'm wondering should I add my ranking?

Ever since MOTU 2026 (master of the Universe) came out, I’ve been thinking of the franchise as a whole more, especially since this might be the first time in decades the twins actually get to be together, even though MOTU 2026 is likely going to follow the 80s versions and keep the secret of the sword backstory (I have no problem with this) I have wonder what if Mattel/ Dreamworks did a story were they were swaped?

What if, instead of Adora being kidnapped, it was Adam, who grew up in the Horde under Shadow Weaver and Hordak while Adora lived her life as the princess of Eternia, the overprotected child of Randor and Marlena, in a nation mostly at peace? Now the chances of Mattel and DW actually doing this are next to none, but with What if shows and ideas being more popular, I do feel like it could be a good idea that “works” (it would at least have them in the same show again) or, at the very least, a comic series. (Not going to lie, I’ve been thinking about this idea so much I’ve been debating writing a Fic about it, but I really don’t have time this year and I need to flesh it out more )

So here's my “brief” outline of a story; for simplicity's sake, I’m sticking to 2018 She-Ra and He-Man reve/revo (revelation/revolution) lore with elements from the 2026 movie for Adam (it’s really just his personality)

The prologue (or lore)

The first ones are the Eternians; they were a highly technologically advanced Society that got tired of just study their planet, so they moved on to others, slowly colonizing them and draining their resources before dipping.

They eventually reached Etheria; the planet, being so similar to their own, intrigued them greatly. This planet even had its own champion, She-Ra. While this planet was much more undeveloped compared to Etheria, the power was still great

so they studied it; they studied how the magic passively flows throughout the planet; they studied how things called runestones gave certain families (albeit) small powers of the elements; they studied how She-Ra, Etheria's champion, had her own power from the planet, a greater one that no other had shown

The first ones talked and learned from She-Ra at the timeArxia: she told them all about She-ra powers, how unlike Eternia, the planet chose the champion, not the sorceress that keeps the power, and the power itself She-Ra could draw and use from the runestones and had her own force and might while Eternia champion only use Brute Strength. These all intrigued the First Ones further

They continued their studies of the planet, but the threat they were fighting grew bigger and bigger. Horde Prime, the First Ones and Prime have been enemies, Prime hate for magic and anything unnatural, while the First Ones love it. Every planet they “conquer,” they've been in search of something to fight back and Etheria might just be it

since Etheria had just as much power as Eternia; they could turn the planet into a weapon and wipe out Horde Prime and his fleet. The First Ones start mining into the planet, putting their tech in as the wires and gears across the planet,

While they had their power and circuit, they needed their motherboard or key. The First Ones went back to Etheria and split the sword of their champion into two halves, one of light and one of dark. They took the dark one back and hatched a plan,

Arxia was growing more and more suspicious of the First Ones day by day; the planet and the animals started acting off as the First Ones' projects grew, while they did some “good,” with the princess being able to use their powers more effectively now due to the upgrades on their runestones,

Their plans are still hurting the planet. Arxia invites the heads of the First Ones over to talk about their plans. The discussion gets heated and…. Arxia on the floor… the First Ones cover up her death. And broke her “runestone,” leaving only a small piece to connected the sword, to Etheria but to not cause panic it was explained that a new she ra was found and her name was Mara.

Everything that happened with Mara stayed the same, but after the First Ones fled, Prime soon found them, and they battled. While the First Ones won in the end, they lost many people and angered Zoar because of their greed, so he took their power away, causing more deaths. One man named Ro knew of what his cousin Mara did and caused an uprising to overthrow the king and his men; once again, it was a fight, but they had victory, and Ro was crowned. king Grayskull

960 years ( or take) later, the Eternian monarch works to undo the effects of their ancestors; one day, King Miro brings his lover's affair child, Keldor, to live with him in the palace after his mom's death, while Randor took a liking to Keldor. His mother, Queen Amelia, did not, and just after a year, asked Miro to send him away. Keldor overhears this and gets mad and tries to send Amelia to a different realm but fails and ends up dragging Miro and himself into

After 20 years of trying, Queen Marlena gives birth to twins: one girl and one boy, and names them Adora and Adam. The kingdom rejoices for their new heirs, but one wasn’t so happy: Skeletor. He came back reborn, and after learning from Horde Prime, he hatched a plan: a few months later, use a spell to open a portal in the twins' nursery to send them to Etheria, leaving Randor heirless and the throne his;

He failed to realize how much magic he would need to keep it open, leading to only Adam being taken to the guard to open the door and the rush in, but Adora remained on the floor crying. Randor ordered the guard to search everywhere, but the prince was nowhere to be found. The kingdom, which was saddened by the loss of their prince, and Randor ordered a Proclamation; no one was to speak of him, especially to Adora.

Now the story

Unlike her brother, in this Adora didn’t grow up traumatized! So I don’t think she would have a martyr/hero complex (maybe a small one because she takes her responsibilities as future queen seriously but nothing show level). I do think Randor would have a better relationship with Adora than Adam because she does take her responsibility seriously and is interested in her royal duties more than Adam.

Teela would also like her more because she doesn’t try to skip training in general; people like Adora are helpful and kind and don’t run off to who knows where when people need her, but Randor is quite overprotective of her and doesn’t let her out of the place without one guard, which drives her a bit insane, and while Adora loves helping the townsfolks out, she can tell they’re almost scared to speak around her, but when she not at school, training with Teela or doing her duties Adora is either riding her horse Or reading and drawing maps of other planets everything a princess could want, right?

But alas, Adora wants more. She wants to fight, plan battles, lead an army to take back the dark side. A queen helps all her people, right? But the Royal advisors tell her not to worry; Teela said she will do harder arms training with her, Duncan says he'll shows her and let her park a tank, and Randor says can find her a girlfriend to keep her entertained, but even with all that, the Crystal Sword with a note the sorceress gave her for her birthday is still intriguing and enticing.

Adam, on the other hand… he’s going to go through it. Adam is a lover, not a fighter, so the horde is going to be more difficult for him. Shadow Weaver is definitely going to berate him more for his lack of interest and initiative in being a force captain. But Adam tries (and fails) to be a better soldier.

Besides his squad, I don’t think Adam really would have that many friends again the horde about fight he’s not, Kyle and him will be best friends, Lonnie would be overprotective and annoyed knowing Adam's lack of a will to fight but also that his heart isn’t in the horde but his “stuck” here like the rest of them and Rogelio is wonder why him or Lonnie isn’t squad leader/force captain. One day, Shadow Weaver sends Adam out with his squad on a “prove yourself” mission to deliver supplies to troops, but things go south when their tank breaks.

Adam offers to go out and look for help but gets distracted by a glowing light in the woods. He finds a crystal sword and Glimmer and Bow (everything that happens in parts 1 and 2), but during Thaymor, Adam tries to get Lonnie, Kyle, and Rogelio to come with him, but they both get pulled away to their sides. During the fight

The only other character that has a major story change is Catra: I honestly don’t see Catra staying in the Horde if it’s just Adam. She's going to run away from that place as soon as she can (I kind of see Catra going to Bright Moon and being taken on as a troop leader and Glimmer friend)

But here's my idea for a She-Ra what-if. Feel free to add or share your own what-if

Hi, I was planning on writing an essay about my love for water and how it relates to me as a student

I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea. (it's for Common App)

What 5% voted for no more showers at the campsite!?!

I think Layla becoming a princess (and her Dad/Mom being king and queen) was a bit of a rolland case

I think Layla's dad had an older sibling who was the heir but died, leaving him next in line, causing the whole "crowned King last week"

It lines up with Gerber saying Layla was still nobility, but she probably didn't ever think she would be a princess

Class of 2027 here

So my mom wants me to start working on my essay (I'm fine with that, I really don't care). The thing is, she wants to do it on my disabilities/ how I "overcame" them. And I don't for many reasons

1:I know Colleges/universities can be kinda of weary struggle applicants/Essay, 2: I don't feel that strongly about writing an essay about them, and honestly don't know what I'll talk about (my disabilities are kind of mild and don't need much support for them {seriously I don't think about them most days}) so i don't how i can write 600 words about them 3: i genuinely have better ideas

and before you ask "why can't i tell her no?" My mom is generally so stubborn that I basically can't convince her to do anything when she has her mind "set" on something. She also went to college in the 90s and believes the struggle essays are still the way "in" to college ( there's literally so much she (and my Dad) don't know about college applications these days, it's stressing me out) doesn't help; basically, my only way into college is scholarships

But yeah, how do I manage to convince them to let me write about anything else?
