Part 1 ~ 367 words
Exposition / Inciting Incident ~ 82 words
Thistle Primrose is a thirteen year old girl, whose birthday was yesterday. She was given a gift, a word, but she knew that the word already belonged to someone else. That word was fire. This morning when she woke up, she discovered that the only word she now had was fire. She then realized that fire had burnt all the others. Thistle was curious about why fire had burnt everything, and who had sent her the mysterious gift in the first place.
Rising Action ~ 65 words
Thistle decides to hunt for clues. She finds the old wrapping paper with no notes, but random letters and symbols written down. That evening, her older sisters, Leonora and Romilly come to her small treehouse to celebrate her birthday having not been able to make it the previous day, and both their gifts were wrapped in the same wrapping paper with more letters and symbols.
The Climax ~ 80 words
Thistle pieces the wrapping paper together and finds a note telling her to visit the ancient garden. There she finds more notes leading her on a scavenger hunt, and when she finally makes it to the end, she realizes that it was her parents who had sent her the gift. Even though they had perished nine years ago, they handed the gift to a post office before they died, the gift to be mailed to Thistle on her thirteenth birthday.
Falling Action ~ 50 words
As soon as Thistle figures out that the gift is from her parents, her word, fire gets stolen. Her word was taken by a member of the post office who had been protecting the word for Thistle, for nine years, just so he could steal it to become an arsonist.
Resolution ~ 90 words
She takes her word back in one final battle, saving the town from the doom those flames would have brought in the hands of the post office villain. She heads back to her treehouse and finds her sisters there. Surprised by their unexpected visit, Thistle interrogates them on why they came and the three girls start arguing. Thistle who doesn’t have full control over the power of fire accidentally loses it, and her treehouse burns down. Thistle runs into the woods with no idea if either of her sisters survived.

the sprite will almost never move in just one axis.

Better custom blocks will let you Make a boolean, reporter and hat, choose menus, deafult values like
<[sprite1 v] is on x (0) y (0)? :: custom>
when key [space v] pressed more than (10) seconds :: custom hat

hide for (1) seconds :: custom
<visible? :: custom> // (checks the costume. totaly not going to fetch the whole project)
and many other things.
note : this is too much overpowered so we need it to make more custom blocks and No! im not gonna add controls to the block idea
when i create post :: events hat
if <post was cool? :: sensing> then

say [yaaay] :: looks
wait (5) seconds :: controls
say (join[i got ] (join(replies :: sensing) [ replies!] :: operators ) :: operators )

what's a shepard tone
look it up, but basically it's an audio illusion where the pitch sounds like it gets lower and lower forever even though it's actually looping, using volume controls and octaves

“Pick us, we are the right choice,” Nova said gently, “We will lead you to ice and peace, a land of self respect and love, mindfulness for earth's peace.” “No, pick us, flames and self defense, we will battle enemies and save our lands together,” says Ember, “Flames will lick at your toes as you enter, a land of rocky highs and lows in front of you, to help earth thrive.”
A lump is stuck in your throat. Your heart is thumping. Saliva is reaching your mouth to fast. So much today, but so little breath. “So, young earthling. What is your decision?” Nova and Ember ask at the same time, side eyeing each other. The choice is in your hands. Thinking what to say, what to do, where to do it, and why you should even think. Retracing familiar steps and look at consequences. Your thirst for knowledge and pleasing is contemplating. The decision is in your own hands.

this will iterate over the whole list, and if an item is there multiple times then a broadcast will happen to let you know.
set [i v] to (0)
set [item v] to [food] // or whatever shouldn't be in the list twice
set [count v] to (0)
repeat (length of [list v])
change [i v] by (1)
if <(item (i) of [list v]) = (item)> then
change [count v] by (1)
end
if <(count) > (1)> then
broadcast [duplicate v]
end
Hope this helps!

only because of that??
It's a legitimate reason and one that the Scratch Team would likely consider heavily. It makes sense: you put things into a backpack, then you take them out of the backpack when you want to use them later.
Exactly. Plus, I do like the idea of an expanded backpack but the name kinda cuts the deal for me. “backpack” is a more fun and easy to understand term, and it’s like, “less serious” in a way that it’s more interesting for kids.
Maybe ‘extended backpack’ would be better
It doesn’t need a new name.

Unspoken - an writing competition entry
I wanted to challenge myself to write a story in less than 1000 words

Unspoken

Have you ever been in a situation where you wished you could be somewhere else? Just any place but the place you are at right now?
I certainly have. It often happens when I am sitting in class with no way to escape.

Once again, I found myself gazing at my notes, hoping the lesson would end before the teacher would get a chance to call on me.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Like a warning, the ticking of the big clock in the front of the Room reminded me that there was still plenty of time left for class.

The teacher asked a question and started to scan the room to find his next target. Someone he could call on to answer his question. Preferably, someone who hadn't contributed something to his class yet. Like me.

I wished I was somewhere else.

Time suddenly seemed to slow down.

The little voice in my head that had been there since I could think, my personal inner critic, used this as an opportunity to confirm my thoughts.

“You really need to raise your hand and answer his question. He will call on you anyway”

“I can't” I thought. “The words get stuck in my throat when I am trying to speak them out loud.”
It was pointless arguing with a voice in my head that was my very own creation.

“Just do it. Talking is not rocket science” the voice in the back of my head tried to convince me to do the impossible.

“You know that I can't articulate my thoughts.” I tried to tell myself.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Time didn't seem to pass.

I really wished I was somewhere else now.

I tried my best to ignore the voice in my head while simultaneously trying to avoid eye contact with the teacher, who was still looking for his next target.

For a second it seemed like he had chosen another student, and I could already feel the relief washing over me.

The next second he moved on, and I could feel myself getting nervous again. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. The murmuring of the other students made the atmosphere in the room tense.

“You're brilliant. You know the answer. All you need is in your head. Just put your hand up and answer the question” the relentless voice started again. “He will call on you anyway, and you know it!”

My thoughts were interrupted when my eyes met the teacher's. I knew what was about to happen now.

I wished I was somewhere else.

The teacher seemed to stare right into my soul. Seconds passed. I could see heads slowly turning in my direction.
Whispers.
Then the teacher's mouth opened and the inevitable words I tried to avoid the whole time came out, hitting me like a wave crashing down.

“What is your opinion on this?”

It seemed as if time had stopped. I couldn't hear the ticking anymore. Everybody was looking at me. My heart was beating in my chest.

“Just say something. Anything.” the voice in my head urged me. “It's not that easy” I thought.
“You can talk to your friends. Why are you unable to talk now. Just say something” my inner critic further urged.

I didn't even understand why my own voice betrayed me in situations like this.
What I understood was that I would have loved to be somewhere else now. Instead, I was sitting here, being a prisoner in my own mind, unable to let the words escape.

Everybody was still looking at me. I tried to take a deep breath, but the air was suddenly really thick. How much time had passed since the teacher called my name? Minutes? Hours? Years?

Tick. Tick. Tick.

The familiar ticking of the clock confirmed that it had been only a few seconds. I could feel the palms of my hands slowly starting to get wet. I opened my mouth.

“Now you only need to get those words out, and then you are fine” the voice in my head tried to encourage me.

I imagined standing up. Leaving this room. Escaping this Situation. Being somewhere else.
But in real life I was sitting here, feeling paralyzed, unable to form a clear sentence.

“You're missing an opportunity” the voice in my head whispered.

I closed my mouth again. Not a single word had left it. My heart was racing faster than a rollercoaster.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

“Just say something. Say anything. Please. Do it. For me. For yourself.”

The voice was too loud now. It was almost everything I could hear in my mind now. I couldn't form one clear thought. Everything started spinning. The classroom and the whispers of my classmates seemed to fade far away.

It almost seemed like I got my wish granted. I was in a different place. Far away from the echoing clock. Far away from everything.

The teacher finally moved on with a disappointed look on his face. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. My thoughts started to become clear again, and I returned to reality from the strange place I had been seconds before.

I was relieved.

“I'm glad I didn't get up and leave” I thought.
“Liar” the voice in the back of my head said. “You would have loved to be somewhere else. But you can't escape it.”

The school bell rang. My way into freedom. I got up and gathered my belongings.

“No matter how far you run away, you can't escape yourself” the voice confirmed what a part of me was thinking.

I took a deep breath.  “Not today” I whispered to myself, “But who knows what the future holds. One day I might be able to speak up. Even if it's just a single sentence. Even if it's just one word that won't remain unspoken.”

Alright. Do I have to run the python script constantly for this to work?
From my current knowledge, you only have to run the python script when you need to / are looking to update the cloud variables, there isn't an need to update it constantly.
We might have two different ideas of what I am talking about. What I meant is that every project that is using my engine will be updated every time I set a cloud variable to a new value. I want it to call that cloud variable from my project, parse that variable, and run it. It should call that variable regardless of who owns the project. Thank you.
Well, you could write a python script that you run once you update your engine.

You would need a list of all remixes of your project.

You would get the engine value from your engine and then loop through every remix, setting the cloud variable’s value to be the same as the one from your project.

Something like this (pseudo code):
import scratchattach
remixes = [2587533589,246986535,12338985,096457754] #project IDs
value = scratchattach.getValue(2576535)#your project id 
for remix in remixes:
   scratchattach.setValue(remix,value)
Note: This will NOT work if you copy and paste into python, this just pseudo code.

Writing Competition Entry (not yet, going to ask for a critique)

Broken Bond

There was once a beautiful sea,
Made out of friendship carefree,
And there were two islands in that sea,
That shared a bond, you and me

A bond that laid on the ocean floor,
Weaved together through many years
Of kindness, trust, secrets, and more
That connected us through happy cheer

But one day, from deep in the sea,
Came a pearl of truth, floating to the surface
A truth that came prematurely,
Bobbing on the waves of our verses

And so, came a storm
Of tears, pain, betrayal, and agony
That rained upon us with lightning and more
And so we grew distantly apart

Gradually, our bond held on,
Bit by bit until it broke apart
Two islands, now lost
We felt so much pain, now that we depart

Eventually the storm went away,
All that it left us is regret
So we decide to change our fate
We try to talk and forget

And bit by bit, over time,
We weave back our broken bond,
Two little islands again entwined
And so our beautiful sea returned

Please remember that “Questions About Scratch” is here to help Scratchers learn Scratch - the website and the language. Let's please not take up space with other topics, such as polls and hypothetical questions. A studio might be a good place for those discussions.

Update: It has been pointed out that this isn't really a hypothetical question - which is true - but it's also not a question that helps anybody use Scratch better. So it's pretty off-topic for “Questions About Scratch”. Maybe the question should be reformulated (what do we still want to know?) and posted in “Advanced Topics”.

I think they should make a rating called “(Not for Everyone)”. The NTE rating would be good since people put warnings in their projects. It would make the Scratch Community not complain about it. Also, The Scratch Team can rate it to Everyone, or NTE.
Second, a bot that removes comments of people advertising. Why? Because advertising is annoying when you don't want advertisers.
Third, there should be an optional thing that removes the remix button so people wouldn't remix it, even though that is illegal in Scratch, there are people who don't want people stealing their project and making it to a whole new level in Scratch.
Fourth, They should update their bot that checks the comments of other people, it should be fair since people are * that they got banned for unfair reasons.
I don't have that many ideas, so what guys do you think should be added?

Sorry for the previous question, I found out the extra pixels are translucent, and didn't cause a problem. And to answer your question, yes, it's in bitmap.
if you copy and paste any bitmap inside of the costume editor, but it's still highlighted and you click into another costume or any part of the editor where the costume editor disappears, there's a big with only bitmap where the paste doesn't save and creates a “ghost” image of the copy paste that doesn't affect anything but is just visual.
