There it is, Monsters University. I’ve been waiting for this actually my whole life! Why? Because my dad came from here and told me this school is the best scare school of them all! Who am I? (Y/N) McCay, first year scare major. My father showed me everything I know now. He is one big scarer and I hope to be just like him one day. Even though I don’t look like him at all. I had just normal arms and hands but my skin was blue, I could change my legs into tentacle like legs just like my father but I prefer two feet on the ground to be honest. I have (H/L), (H/C) hair that just covers my left (E/C) eye. I just can’t wait to finally do what I was always meant to do, scare children.
My father smiled at me when I stepped out of the car together with him, taking out all my stuff out of the car. ’Alright (Y/N), do you have everything you need.’ I nodded and smiled sweetly at my dad, he is the sweetest really. Well to me he is, once he’s on the scare floor he’s a wild animal. ’Alright darling, don’t forget… You need to study well but also don’t forget to have fun once in a while, just enjoy your college life!’ I hugged my dad and sighed, I just actually didn’t want to let go. We always spent time together and now, college time. This means, he will be all alone. ’Your mom would be very proud, you know.’ He said and I sighed, my mom died when I was born and actually my dad never came over it. But he is the best father in the world and showed me how important love really is. ’I know dad, don’t you worry okay… I’ll be just fine. ’ I took my stuff and got ready with a smile on my face. ’I’ll call you tonight, okay? ’
Then there I went, through the gates to the amazing and wonderful Monsters University. It was so crowded, so much monsters everywhere! It was wonderful, everything was just wonderful. The places around, the monsters, and of course… The scaring school. After getting registered, picture taking and all kinds of stuff like that it was time to finally go to her room. Was she looking forward to it? No, not at all. Why? She just needed a room for herself, without any roommates. ’(Y/N) McCay, room four eleven! Enjoy your stay at MU!’ They handed me my key and I smiled brightly when I went to my room. I’m glad I came here early so that I could walk around some more around campus.
Read Taken By the Hands Of Pitch Black from the story Cold and Dark (Jack Frost X Reader) by Kandygirl263 with 9,380 reads. Pitch, fluffy, guardians.
Kuroo Hazama, or widely known as Dr. Black Jack, is the main protagonist in both the manga and anime series. He is known as an unlicensed master surgeon who charges ridiculous fees to many people. He lives with Pinoko (and Largo in the 2004 TV series) in a house on a cape in Japan, overlooking the beach. He is voiced by Akio Otsuka in almost every anime series, with the exception of Young. The world of ichthyology is mourning the passing of John Ernest ’Jack’ Randall. When it comes to fish identification, in 1983 he wrote the book - Caribbean Reef Fishes- on which all others are based. Shore Fishes of Hawaii was published in 1996. All his books carried his endless photographs to help ID the fish.
When I got everything settled I smiled and went outside, maybe it was time to find the right club for me or something. But before I could even reach the places I bumped straight into someone and kind of knocked him down. ’Oh my god, I’m so sorry!’ I looked down at the little fellow I accidentally bumped into, he was short and green with one big eye, and he was adorable to be honest! I quickly helped him up together with his stuff. ’It’s alright! Don’t worry, it happens a lot.’ I gave him the stuff I picked up before smiling a little at him. ’I’m (Y/N), (Y/N) McCay…Scaring Major’ His eyes stared twinkling once I said that and he took my hand before he shook it good. ’Mike Wazowski! Scaring Major It’s really, really an honor to meet you!’Black Jack Randall X Reader Lemon
First I didn’t understand it really, but then I realized I said my father’s name. He was a famous scarer; of course Mike was honored to meet me. ’Oh I can’t believe the first person I meet here is the daughter of the amazing Frank McCay! Your father inspired me to become a scarer!’ I blushed slightly; I didn’t know my father was such a great guy to inspire people like that. ’You see this hat! Your father gave it to me.’ He handed me the hat and I smiled sweetly, he really was so sweet to every other monster around. ’That’s so sweet; I’ll tell him you said hi okay?’ Mike nodded and smiled brightly. ’You want to join me check out the clubs Mike?’ He nodded and we went to check them out, some of them we’re nice and some of them actually weren’t at all. But then Mike stopped when he heard the scare games.
’The Scare-what-now?’ Mike said when he took a flyer featuring the games, it did sound interesting so I got one as well and stared checking it out. One guy, so much energy, started explaining. ’The Scare Games: a super-intense scaring competition!’ And the other one, super calm, also started explaining. ’They’re crazy-dangerous, so anything could happen.’ ’A bunch of guys went to the hospital last year!’ ’You could totally die.’ ’And it’s worth it! You get a chance to prove that you are the best!’ Mike and I stare down at the flyer, intrigued. It sounds really good! I remember my dad keeps talking about it how good it is. ’Cool.’ Mike said and I agreed with him.
Then we started walking and Mike stood in front of me. ’Well then! I guess I’ll be seeing you in class, right?’ I nodded and shook his hand again. ’Alright then! Goodbye (Y/N!)’ I watched him leave and decided to walk around campus some more. So I walked passed the Greek houses and admired them all. Then I saw all the students from their houses putting up posters all around that they we’re looking for new members. I smiled sweetly when I saw the one my dad used to be in, ROR. He told me that my mother used to be in PNK, that’s how he met her. So that’s actually what I’m going for. To become a PNK! Even though I actually just want to be me instead of some good for nothing PNK, but I have to if I want to become like my mother and father! Who knows, maybe I’ll even find a ROR as boyfriend or something like that.
Well, we’ll see about that later I guess. I just sighed happily before I turned around, ready to go to my room and relax a little. Tomorrow is going to be one hard but amazing day! My first day as a scaring student! Oh boy I’m so excited!
The next day, I woke up slightly bad to be honest. I always have that on places where I sleep the first night. After that nothing is wrong so well, yeah I could take it. I put on my clothes and packed my back for the day, it wasn’t really a big day or something. We we’re just going to the scaring school and learn the basic stuff around there. And of course, the party everyone was having in the night to make new friends. I was going for sure; after all wouldn’t it be awesome to make new friends! When I went outside I saw Mike walking and talking with someone next to him, well I guess I could make friends with him as well.
’Good morning Mike! Are you excited for today?’ I just went to Mike and smiled brightly before I looked at his friend who was staring at me with a sweet smile on his face. ’Oh hey (Y/N)! I am very excited but I will be able to handle it. Oh yeah of course, Randy this is (Y/N) McCay, we met yesterday. (Y/N), this is Randy Boggs, he’s my roommate! ’ I smiled and sweetly shook his hand, damn he was cute. He looked scary, yet sweet and gentle. He was actually everything I would look for in a guy from looks. But I don’t fall for looks, I fall for personality. Even though my dad did say that mom never could get enough of his look. Oh well… ’Nice to meet you, (Y/N)’ ’Nice to meet you too, Randy.’ He was looking at me and I could swear he had a slight blush on his cheeks, if it was even possible that is.
Then we arrived and went inside and made sure to sit down, oh my god it looked perfect. I still can’t believe I’m sitting here where both my parents went to study. ’I’m so nervous…’ I looked to Randy who got me out of my trance and I smiled sweetly, putting my hand on his shoulder. ’Don’t worry, it’ll be fine…’ Then a large, tough, drill sergeant monster, addresses the class and I remove my hand from Randy his shoulder and look over at him, our professor. ’Good morning students, welcome to scaring 101, I am Professor Knight! Now, I’m sure all of you were the scariest monster in your town, well bad news kids, you’re in my town now, and I do not scare easily-’But he scared softly when suddenly a beam of light falls over Professor Knight and I hear gasps everywhere when I look up to a now empty window before following a shape that flies around the room, closing the curtains and lands with a clatter behind her.
Then I hear all kind of whispers from the students. ’Dean Hardscrabble/That’s really her…’ The class watches as a form steps out from the light revealing a tall dragon woman with large bat wings, she looked terrifying yet so strong. ’Dean Hardscrabble. This is a pleasant surprise.’ Professor Knight said while he watched her. I watch Hardscrabble heading across the room, her chilling insect legs tapping against the floor. Then Mike whispers to us and I look at him. ’She’s a legend; she broke the all-time scare record with the scream in that very can.’ I look over and see Dean Hardscrabble admiring her scream can slightly.
’I don’t mean to interrupt; I just thought I’d drop by to see the ’terrifying’ faces joining my program.’ She spoke as students continued whispering around me. ’Well, I’m sure my students would love to hear a few words of inspiration.’ Mister Knight said and Hardscrabble gave a nod to this before she addresses the class. ’Inspiration? Very well…Scariness is the true measure of a monster. If you’re not scary, what kind of monster are you? It’s my job to make great students greater, not make mediocre students LESS mediocre…’ She went with her eyes across everyone and I heard more whispers and mumbling.
’That is why at the end of the semester there will be a final exam. Fail that exam, and you are out of the scaring program.’ My eyes got wide and I gulped. What? This couldn’t be true right? ’So, I should hope you’re all properly ’inspired.’ She then fries out of the top of the building again, leaving behind the whole class in shock. Professor Knight just steps forward and looks at us. ’Alright, alright, who can tell me the properties of an effective roar?’ The whole class was silent for a while until a hand went up and I blinked when I saw it came from mike. ’Yes?’ The professor said before Mike got up and catches his breath. ’There are actually five. Those include the roar’s resonance, the duration of the roar, and the s-’
’RHAARRR!’ Suddenly a loud booming roar stops Mike mid-sentence, scaring most of the students in the room. I looked over my shoulder to see a fluffy yet cute looing monster stumbling into class. ’Whoops, sorry. I heard someone say roar, so I just kinda went for it.’ I watch as he starts to slide down the row of students, trying not to squish people as he goes by. ’Whoops, excuse me, sorry... didn’t mean to scare you there...’ Heh… What a joke. First day and then he’s all like this. I think he and I could get along. ’Very impressive, Mr...’ The professor answered to his roar. ’Sullivan. Jimmy Sullivan.’ Wait… No way… is he? ’Sullivan? Like Bill Sullivan, the scarer?’ ’Yeah, he’s my dad.’ No… His father is the best friend of my father! They have been hanging around so much when they we’re in MU, so wonderful! ’I should’ve known. I expect big things from you.’ The professor said and I kind of agreed with him. Jimmy reaches his seat and looks back to the professor confidently. ’Well, you won’t be disappointed.’ Heh, I hope not. Then Mike interrupts the conversation going on, oh yeah. He was answering the question. ’Uh, I’m sorry, should I keep going?’ ’No, no, Mr. Sullivan’s covered it.’ Poor Mike… I look over at Jimmy again and see he shoots two finger pistols at the Professor while clicking his tongue, heh, even the professor liked it. ’Everyone take out your scaring textbooks and open them to chapter one...’ The professor said and I watched Mike sit down, I kind of felt bad for him. I just opened my book and listened to the professor, I just hope I will enjoy my time here.Book Summary and Analysis |Science and Technology | Popular Science

Should you have any questions, please contact us at permissions@insightfulreader.comA BRIEF SUMMARY AND CRITIQUE OF MUNROE’S WHAT IF?
Randall Munroe became famous thanks to his website, xkcd. The idea of xkcd came from Munroe’s several days of teaching experience (the weekend course that he volunteered to teach was part of an MIT weekend program that relied on volunteers with no prior teaching experience to teach the classes).
Munroe received his degree in physics from Christopher Newport University in Virginia. During the final year of his study at the University, he wrote a thesis on robotics (as part of his study program) at NASA’s Langley Research Center, which was located nearby. During his last semester of study, his work on this thesis transformed into a full-time contract position with NASA that lasted for a few months. He continued working for NASA as a contractor for the summer following his graduation in 2006. His contract expired by the end of that summer, and NASA did not renew it. Then, Munroe began writing xkcd full-time.
On his website, Munroe uses cartoons, science, math and logical reasoning to answer unusual and sometimes weird questions submitted by his online followers. A couple of years ago, Munroe also started his “What if?” blog, providing “serious scientific answers” to “absurd hypothetical questions” asked by his readers. Munroe’s readers have been submitting to him “What If?” questions, which require more-or-less scientific answers, since 2012. Every week, Munroe selects the most interesting or the weirdest questions and posts his answers, accompanied by mathematical calculations and entertaining cartoons.
Many of these questions and Munroe’s answers have been included in his book What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. Munroe’s book clearly conveys his love for math and science. It educates, entertains, and helps readers learn more about science.
Overall, Munroe’s book What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions is a compilation of questions and answers from Munroe’s website. Some questions answered in Munroe’s book are bizarre and do not have any helpful or thought-provoking information. However, some questions offer an opportunity to apply scientific concepts to the real world, to practice critical thinking and to encourage intellectual curiosity.
For example, what would happen if you attempted to build a physical model of the periodic table of the elements, and each element in the model was presented in a form of an actual brick of the substance? To answer this question, Munroe imagines how this model would be constructed row by row. He points out that the first two rows could be built without any serious problems. The third row would catch fire because of chemical reactions, and the fourth row would produce toxic gases that could kill you. The fifth row would emit a lethal dose of radiation, and the sixth row would explode violently. Munroe does not recommend building the seventh row at all.
The idea behind this question and its answer is rather simplistic: take chemical elements located next to each other in the periodic table of the elements and figure out how they would interact with each other. Nevertheless, it is a brief and entertaining high-school chemistry refresher.
Another question brings a highly hypothetical situation: what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? Munroe replies that the air would keep moving, creating supersonic winds pretty much everywhere on the planet, except for its polar regions. In addition, half of the planet would freeze, and the other side of the planet would get overheated. Cold water would rise from the ocean depths, followed by tsunamis and global cooling. The Moon would stop moving away from the Earth, and its gravitational pull on the tidal bulges would make the Earth spin again.
Munroe does not discuss the fact that real winds are part of atmospheric circulation and they do affect the Earth’s rotation. I discuss the connection between a planet’s rotation and its winds in Part III of my book where I tell my readers how winds can really change the spin of our planet. I also discuss how earthquakes can affect rotation of the Earth.
Another question in Munroe’s book sounds rather unexpected: what would happen if you tried to hit a baseball that was moving at 90 percent of the speed of light? Munroe tells us that answering this question requires knowledge of certain nuclear tests, which implies that throwing such a ball is a rather dangerous endeavor. Munroe simply informs the reader that a baseball moving at the speed of light would produce an x-ray shockwave expanding outwards from a fireball of plasma. He points out that the fusion triggered at the front of the moving ball would destroy everything within about a mile of the park where the ball had been thrown.
The science behind Munroe’s answer to this question is too difficult for regular readers to understand. Munroe provides the readers with his way of getting an answer, but he does not help his readers grasp the scientific ideas supporting the answer. Which is why the answer might give readers a “pseudo-understanding” of science.
What would happen if you tried to fly an electrically powered airplane on Venus? Munroe answers that the airplane could fly in the Venusian atmosphere rather well, but it would be on fire during the flight. While answering this question, Munroe helps his readers look at the planet Venus from an interesting perspective and explore the challenges of survivi

Randall Munroe became famous thanks to his website, xkcd. The idea of xkcd came from Munroe’s several days of teaching experience (the weekend course that he volunteered to teach was part of an MIT weekend program that relied on volunteers with no prior teaching experience to teach the classes).
Munroe received his degree in physics from Christopher Newport University in Virginia. During the final year of his study at the University, he wrote a thesis on robotics (as part of his study program) at NASA’s Langley Research Center, which was located nearby. During his last semester of study, his work on this thesis transformed into a full-time contract position with NASA that lasted for a few months. He continued working for NASA as a contractor for the summer following his graduation in 2006. His contract expired by the end of that summer, and NASA did not renew it. Then, Munroe began writing xkcd full-time.
On his website, Munroe uses cartoons, science, math and logical reasoning to answer unusual and sometimes weird questions submitted by his online followers. A couple of years ago, Munroe also started his “What if?” blog, providing “serious scientific answers” to “absurd hypothetical questions” asked by his readers. Munroe’s readers have been submitting to him “What If?” questions, which require more-or-less scientific answers, since 2012. Every week, Munroe selects the most interesting or the weirdest questions and posts his answers, accompanied by mathematical calculations and entertaining cartoons.
Many of these questions and Munroe’s answers have been included in his book What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. Munroe’s book clearly conveys his love for math and science. It educates, entertains, and helps readers learn more about science.
Overall, Munroe’s book What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions is a compilation of questions and answers from Munroe’s website. Some questions answered in Munroe’s book are bizarre and do not have any helpful or thought-provoking information. However, some questions offer an opportunity to apply scientific concepts to the real world, to practice critical thinking and to encourage intellectual curiosity.
For example, what would happen if you attempted to build a physical model of the periodic table of the elements, and each element in the model was presented in a form of an actual brick of the substance? To answer this question, Munroe imagines how this model would be constructed row by row. He points out that the first two rows could be built without any serious problems. The third row would catch fire because of chemical reactions, and the fourth row would produce toxic gases that could kill you. The fifth row would emit a lethal dose of radiation, and the sixth row would explode violently. Munroe does not recommend building the seventh row at all.
The idea behind this question and its answer is rather simplistic: take chemical elements located next to each other in the periodic table of the elements and figure out how they would interact with each other. Nevertheless, it is a brief and entertaining high-school chemistry refresher.
Another question brings a highly hypothetical situation: what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? Munroe replies that the air would keep moving, creating supersonic winds pretty much everywhere on the planet, except for its polar regions. In addition, half of the planet would freeze, and the other side of the planet would get overheated. Cold water would rise from the ocean depths, followed by tsunamis and global cooling. The Moon would stop moving away from the Earth, and its gravitational pull on the tidal bulges would make the Earth spin again.
Munroe does not discuss the fact that real winds are part of atmospheric circulation and they do affect the Earth’s rotation. I discuss the connection between a planet’s rotation and its winds in Part III of my book where I tell my readers how winds can really change the spin of our planet. I also discuss how earthquakes can affect rotation of the Earth.
Another question in Munroe’s book sounds rather unexpected: what would happen if you tried to hit a baseball that was moving at 90 percent of the speed of light? Munroe tells us that answering this question requires knowledge of certain nuclear tests, which implies that throwing such a ball is a rather dangerous endeavor. Munroe simply informs the reader that a baseball moving at the speed of light would produce an x-ray shockwave expanding outwards from a fireball of plasma. He points out that the fusion triggered at the front of the moving ball would destroy everything within about a mile of the park where the ball had been thrown.
The science behind Munroe’s answer to this question is too difficult for regular readers to understand. Munroe provides the readers with his way of getting an answer, but he does not help his readers grasp the scientific ideas supporting the answer. Which is why the answer might give readers a “pseudo-understanding” of science.
What would happen if you tried to fly an electrically powered airplane on Venus? Munroe answers that the airplane could fly in the Venusian atmosphere rather well, but it would be on fire during the flight. While answering this question, Munroe helps his readers look at the planet Venus from an interesting perspective and explore the challenges of survivi
