Hello Everyone!! I wrote this essay last evening and I was wondering if anyone could read it and give an honest opinion!

The title is "New Beginning"

Personally I think I dragged it out too much by adding extra information. I don't really like it all that much.

-------------------------------------------------------

Tucked far into the most safe and peaceful parts of Onyx valley, an audacious castle stood in superior to the kingdom below it. This kingdom and valley was named after the very crystal that brought peace, protection and the cease to a nasty war that was continuous for 609 years, the Aquarus Onyx crystal. Through the rubbles and fallen soldiers rose this very kingdom, the Onyx kingdom. But where is this crystal now? Well, good things are never left untarnished. After the beautiful revolt of freedom, the gem had gone dark. It now held powers to everything and anything that would root mayhem.

Now about this castle I mentioned- OH and yes there is a narrator to this story, and yes that’s me. Anyways that castle. As expected, the royal family resides here. Queen Yasmin and King Callum are the highly respected individuals who dominate the lands of Onyx kingdom. They’ve done and are doing the best to keep the kingdom standing with pride and evolving with equality between any and all humans. They’ve engraved their names into history books of which the following generations would read.

Following right behind them, we have Princess Willow, the 1st child and the one to whom the throne and crown get passed on to. She was the pride and joy to the royal parents and the kingdom. Anywhere she’d gone, she was showered in attention and complements. Even if she’d done nothing, just her existence was overwhelmingly praised.

And here we have the forgotten child, Princess Evan, she was the second child to the royal rulers. She wasn’t seen as anything, she was overshadowed by her older sister since birth. Evan was completely neglected and was nothing but an invisible needle in a pile of hay. Even if Evan had much better IQ, talent, adaptability, skills, bravery and even leadership than Willow, so in correction Evan must be the one upon the golden pedestal but instead Willow had stolen it all.

Now that the introductions over, let me assist you to the castle, take a look for yourself. “My, my! My dear Willow! Is that a bronze medal I see?” Exclaims Queen Yasmin in excitement. “Let the medal be and look at this prizewinning clay rose!” Corrects King Callum as he adores the poignant, pale, clay rose made by Willow. She’d won third place in a sculpting competition. In a distance, Evan is hidden, blending in with the shadows. Holding her first place golden medal and a divine sculpture which beauty could not be digested with only two eyes. Evan was used to this, lurking under the shadows of her sister. This sculpture wasn’t the only creation of Evan’s which deserved praise- her keen interest in machinery had her up for days on ends working on machines that could surpass any technology built by man today. But alas, her gifts were hidden away from the undeserving world she knows of. Every single invention, tucked away, in the basement and shadows of the castle. Evan then walked away into her room.

Evan despised everything, her parents, the kingdom, and of course her sister who knew to only weave flower crowns that would wilt away just like the very memories of it. “Pardon me dearest sister.” A soft voice was heard outside of Evan’s door. “What?” Evan bit back in a cold tone. “My deepest apologies if I interrupted you, but it’s dinner time.” It was Willow, she’d come by to remind Evan that she must get some fuel for her body. “please come out and join us , it’s been far too long since you’ve eaten with us.” Willow’s tone grew concerned. “Thank you for noticing but I must decline.” Evan once again firmly bit back. This was the first time Willow’s done this, she was scared all along to speak with Evan due to her cold and blunt self. She’d always noticed Evan even though nobody else did. “oh, okay.” Willow responds in a sadden tone as her footsteps faded by the second.

Evan had far better things to do rather than spending time with humans that barely acknowledged her existence, for example she’d rather spend those 20 minutes working on a manageable path to get to the ancient fallen city of Frosluire. This is the current location of the corrupt Aquarus Onyx crystal, it used to be unknown but Evan had detected it using her machinery for It radiates a very odd and specific pattern of frequencies that someone like her could immediately point out. Although to get to Frosluire, Evan must build something that could get her there much faster for it would take approximately 2-3 years just to get there by foot or any of the transport that the mortals used but Evan was no mortal for she’s almost done with the machine. Just a couple of test runs and that concludes it. Evan would set off to Frosluire by dawn, It’d also be Evan’s birthday and what she wanted that year was power. Nothing but only power and the recognition she deserved.

Dawn broke out, Evan brought one of her inventions out for the first time, it was the Izator- The fastest and most compact shuttle. Evan got in and took off. The Izator could travel at almost the speed of sound. Evan made it to Frosluire in no time. She dismounted the shuttle and waltzed in, right through the half open gates of the ruined and abandoned city. It was all engulfed by moss and nature. A normal being would have to sped quite some time to look for the corrupt crystal but Evan knew exactly where to head and what turns she must take.

Meanwhile back at the Onyx kingdom, Willow had been preparing the dining room for Evan’s 16th birthday. This was another thing that Willow had never done. She’d started realizing how Evan felt and wanted to give her something special for her sweet 16th, although it wasn’t as grand as Willow’s sweet 16, she just wanted to do her level best for Evan. Queen Yasmin and King Callum walked in on Willow decorating. “Willow? What’s this my dear? Would you like a party?” Queen Yasmin questioned “A party sounds splendid!” King Callum burst in excitement. “Yes dear parents! I’m throwing a party for Evan!” Willow continues “It’s her sweet 16 today!” Both parent’s smiles faded fast. “M-mum? D-dad?” Willow was now frightened. “Evan. I completely forgot about Evan.” King Callum’s tone grew grim along with his face. “Oh. Do as you please.” Was Queen Yasmin’s only response as she walked away with the king. Willow felt uneasy. “Why did they act so oddly?” Willow began to ponder but before she could even strike a second thought, screams erupted throughout the city. Willow rushed out to the balcony and noticed a cloud of opaque smog.

Now back to Evan’s perspective- she’d gotten her hands on the corrupt Aquarus Onyx crystal, she’s been overtaken by its unholy abilities. Evan was now not the person she once was- according to herself she’d become much better with all of humanity in her hands. Evan was now, an unstoppable, amoral and an ungodly killing machine. She returned straight back to Onyx and started wreaking havoc with an axe she’d found next to the crystal. Destroying every single structure that had gotten in her along with anything and everyone that gave her bad memories. She was now making her way to the castle where Willow and the royal figures stood, watching in trepidation. Evan was now covered from head to toes in blood and chunks of human.

As Evan neared the castle, the local military started firing at her but none of their miserable shots hit Evan. She let out a giant power wave which wiped out the entirety of the military force. She then looked up, she saw her once known family’s eyes on her. Finally. Evan was now being paid attention to, she now had the spotlight, not Willow, not anybody but just herself. She levitated upto the balcony, and hovered above their heads in superiority. She made sure to make her presence present. She made sure to engrave that very image into her family’s brain. “Look at you now. Quaking in your uselessness.” Evan mocked “you’re nothing compared to me now. Remember how you used to treat me? I bet you’re regretting that about now.” None other words were said until Willow broke the daunting silence in a shivering tone. “Happy birthday dearest sister. I am aware for apologies will not reach out to you nor will it undo all the horrid you’ve been through. Do what you have to do darling, we deserve it.” Willow broke down to the floor as tears began to stream down her smiling face. But what Willow said was true. But her words never got through, for this is now a new Evan. Evan raised her axe up high, her parents begun pleading for mercy. But it was too late.

Evan swung her axe in rage, slash went all three necks and fell to the ground with a plop in a pool of blood. So did the beheaded bodies, they fell, they would remain fallen. Evan let out a menacing laughter as she rushed to pick up her mother’s crown. “MINE! ALL MINE!” Growled Evan as she let out the most gruesome laughter to ever ring out. She now held the crown, the crown covered in her own family’s blood, she put it on and turned to the kingdom. All those weeping and screaming could now be heard by her. It was a new beginning for Evan, a new era had now begun, the world was now at her feet. “WELCOME! WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE OF HISTORY!!” Evan hollered out. “THIS. THIS IS NOW THE EVAN AGE!” Evan let out another gruesome laugh. The world was doomed for sure.

"He was, unfortunately, very handsome."

This one's a real interesting prompt because I overthink this a lil too much - but here’s what I have for this year's KaiShin One Prompt Challenge!

Please do check out how everyone has gone about with the prompt at @dcmkkaishinevents! And once again, thank you mac for organising it!

Thoughts on it under the cut!

Right. Okay. I really struggled with this one. Not only in terms of time constrains (it's been a really busy time) but also because the prompt is reaallllly interesting. Like super interesting that I just jumped onto to join the event because I wanted to challenge myself (been in a slump lately and this prompt was screaming at me) and I was latching on real hard to something here:

Shinichi and Kaito look alike. So alike that Kaito has gotten mistaken as Shinichi before, and he has used it to his advantage too.

How do I use the prompt, while also remembering that they would look the same? I thought about going the crack route, as seen below:

Kaito: He is, unfortunately, very handsome ??: ... don't you guys look exactly the same? [Narcissist much?] K: oh. Right

But I wasn't up for it. I tried thinking about the idea of one of them looking like an absolute dork (affectionately), and then the line - but it kept feeling wrong to me, because I feel like that would be attractiveness. Handsome is too much of a physical word for me.

As Faith (@indelibleme) says, "this prompt is more for the "damn he's hot" type of vibe lol" - which is absolutely true.

So it's something about the physical appearance. Or at least that's what I want to focus on. But they look the same. (Kinda. You get the idea)

And then, it hit me. What if we make it so that Kaito likes Shinichi - everything from his intelligence to his appearance, and it's not because he looks like Kaito - he doesn't feel attracted to himself duh - but it's because it's how Shinichi looks. Kaito just happens to look like him. And is pining after him in the mirror.

Like. Does that even make sense? Probably. I don't know And right after that thought, I had that image of Kaito looking at the mirror and seeing Shinichi.

AND THEN THAT ONE FIC THAT POPPED UP IN MY HEAD KEPT REVOLVING IN MY HEAD WHENEVER I THINK OF THIS BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY NAILING IT I JUST HAD TO HUNT IT DOWN AGAIN yea. Here's the link to it: the only victim of these innocent crimes (is me) by dytabytes - it's an explicit fic so 18+ only and please read the tags and summary. I guess this drawing is an ode to that fic because when I went back to reread it, the premise really hit all the right spots.

Anyways, again, Kaito and Shinichi has their similarities, and they also have differences. This is just one route I went and m quite happy with what I have.

There was going to be an exposition and conclusion that used the prompt more explicitly, featuring the crack portion, before what I have - but time and energy. I am lacking of them.

If you have read uptil here - seriously thank you and have a good day/night/whatever time is a social construct haha

#DCMKOPC24 #kaishin #kudo shinichi #kuroba kaito #I spent too much time over thinking about this #like - it's such a odd train of thought - even for me #but I really like it haha so here we are #seriously though - if you like something like this - read dytabytes “the only victim of these innocent crimes (is me)”#11/10 hit that crave - just make sure to read the tags and summary yourself - not your thing? move on #also m alive yay #ruxart

I have to figure out a way of getting more interest in my oc stuff without needing to draw as much because I dont have the time or energy to draw as much as I would like, which includes a lot of concepts and/or scenes that are in my head only but can't commit to drawing, but it feels like most people are only interested in visual stuff as opposed to just written stuff (and for good reason, visuals are flashy and all!) It just makes me a little sad that I cant draw and share everything Id like to show, and what I can do most is talk about it, but that barely ever gets responses unfortunately

#in general though its hard to keep an online presence recently im so tired from everything all i wanna do is play videogame or watch youtube #and I dont have that much time to even think abt ocs cause of irl stuff ^^; case in point- ive been struggling with CD a LOT #for many reasons. so i have been focusing on HR instead bc oughgh i love it sm. but even so I have trouble finding time to just #THINK about it?? its so wack. like just thinking abt it takes time!!#thunderclap #idk man kjdffdk this is so weird i dont like being in this weird transitory period of my life i want this to be done #a lot of the ppl i spent time with online are also incredibly offline lately as well so i dont have as much of a reason to be online myself #everyones busy everything changes. very strange feeling

Reasons I love the In Dreams episode

● Peridot and Steven focus!

● It's so funny that half of the episode is about how they both hate a reboot of a show they loved so much. They basically tried to write their own fix-it fic

● Peridot is fueled by her hatred of the reboot but also having fun with Steven and doing something they could enjoy together

● Honestly, as both funny and sad this episode is, it's also the culmination of Peridot's development with Steven. Her willingness to do something fun with him but stop the moment it hurts him or causes conflict shows how far she's come and it's great

● Peridot can draw and storyboard and I love that fact

● Peridot without her visor! Peridot eyes reveal!!

● This is the last episode where Peridot gets at least half the focus, what with her and Steven being the only two characters actually featured in the episode. Yes she does show up in the remaining episodes and with a brief important moment in the last one, but to me this episode feels like a send-off to her character in a good and warm way. Idk it's special to me

#steven: no! i can't do rodrigo dirty like that!#peridot: whoa hold on steven. you're talking about them like they are real people. it's just a story! and a story needs conflict #*looks into the camera like i'm on the office*#seriously there's just a lot of moments that have me laughing #but also. gah. steven :(#im ngl my main focus is peridot though bcuz im biased and love her a lot #and i remember how this was the first (and sadly last) ep after SO much time spent with only crumbs #so even though it's her send-off it still means a lot that she had a send-off at all #yknow?#steven universe (show)#steven universe future #peridot #steven universe #mettys posts #metty posts #happy In Dreams anniversary!!#in dreams

Every day I'm driven more insane by The First Shadow because it confirms so much just by existing, let alone the actual content of the show.

The team really went "No, no. You don't have all the information about Henry yet. We intentionally kept that from you. Also, all the adult characters? Yeah. They knew him. They all fucking knew him, which is why we couldn't have any of them be present in ST4. Kept that one from you too."

Just by making the play they confirm that there's at least another hour's worth of content at least tangentially related to Henry's story. We're missing so much about him if we just go off what we see in ST4.

Just by the synopsis, they tell us that Henry is already running from something, a Shadow that predates Hawkins and the Creel house. They also confirm that Henry might even have had friends. That some of those friends may have been the main adult crew. There are people who ought to remember him.

Like be serious. Be so so incredibly serious. Mindblowing.

#It's so cathartic to be right sometimes though. Like I post on this silly little site about how we don't have the full picture on Henry and #I get called a delusional and I get told I'm reaching too hard...AND THEN HERE COME THE DUFFERS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!#I /knew/ there was more to Henry and the unholycule has been saying as much for so long but nooooo no one wants to listen.#Everyone loves their straightforward easily judged simple 2D villain (even as they complain about his 2D-ness)#As if Stranger Things itself isn't this massively complex show already. As if the Duffers would skimp out on the complexity of their #final boss. As if the Duffers would settle for ''this boy was BORN evil even though we've spent all this time showing cycles of abuse and #explaining to y'all that even the bad people (especially the bad people) have more going on than meets the eye.#This one though?? Born evil. Bad from the start.'' LIKE?????#be so fucking forreal #stranger things: the first shadow #henry creel #vent #rant #i had to get that one out lol

saw someone on twitter say "one of the main characters in a loki show should have been thor odinson, not some random Sylvie or Mobius.

...... It's like a written law"

wdyt do you agree

I don't think it was necessary to make Thor a main character in a Loki show, the same way it WOULD be possible to throw together a Thor movie without having Loki be a main focus.

The issue comes in the quality of the narrative itself, and writing that if evidently without intention to care for (whichever) main character's importance will not work out. Neither the Loki series nor Thor 4 cared about the arc, motivations, history, or continuity of the titular characters beyond trying to make the media marketable.

Overall messaging can add a layer to the impact a story will have. Musical score can be a bonus way to control tone or tie a story together. Supporting cast can be vital to tell a good story. Prioritising their presence over anyone's (especially Loki's) characterisation is what the Loki series suffered from, not that other, original-adjacent characters were there.

#i'd say it was tell not show but frankly the plotline was so poorly done i don't think showing would have helped #it would have solidified the side characters better though #if they had put effort into characterising Loki right then poorly done side characters could've been a non-issue #messing up the main characters which are supposed to be part of a continuity is the number 1 issue #not managing the screen-time well was the number 2 issue #too much time wasted setting up characters that were going to monologue about their importance anyway??#too much time spent trying to establish the TVA as something important and controlling but somehow good #so much could have been cut out of the show and still gotten all that across #the relationships people built did so in like 2 days in-universe iirc so i wouldn't call them solid #season 1 was a useless introductory setup for the multiverse that didn't have any impact because there were like 4 other setups #scrap the characterisation and call it a reboot and it still threw Loki out as a weak and completely conventional protagonist #that's not engaging when every other character is also boring overall #even if their concepts weren't boring the way it was done was #The Loki Show #i can't be bothered thinking about the show because there's just so much #where would one start #i don't care enough about it to hate the show but i did find the fight choreography lacking too #the camera angles and general videography wasn't good #i have the same complaints about the choreography with every other disney+ show they put out #not even bothered with the MCU frankly #i'm happy to pretend the movies stopped after phase 2
