Maelstrom, I'd like to introduce you to my good friend, Mortslaem.

Mortslaem: Oh, that's me!!

Mallstorm: Or maybe it's me??

Mortslaem: You see, it is very hard to tell with all these various incorrect answers being input!

amnesia buddies!!

My pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky ocs. Shiro the Eevee and Rei the Vulpix. I took some liberties design wise

Mmhm. Yep, definitely not that--

The two nerds: Cincere the Gemstone Espeon from a very cancelled SOL comic (Sparks of Life: Universal Curiosity), BUT he's in Times of Distortion now, which you can read here! And Malachi the Shinx-Luxio hybrid (half-evolved!), and Maelstrom the Relic Fragment from Woo's comic On Borrowed Tme, which you can read here!

On Borrowed Time: A New Dawn

-Fanfic + something a little extra under the cut!!-

Ladies, Gents, & Enby's in the audience, it is my pleasure to proudly represent my prize winning entry for @woo-led 's On Borrowed Time: Born Yesterday Fan Art feature that she hosted over on the @ask-obt blog, as well as Deviantart, last year!

Even if I never got the chance to 100% complete the fanfic I wrote for this I'm still incredibly proud of what I was able to accomplish with this entry considering how hard I was being on myself at the time. I'm still ecstatic that I not only got a whopping 5th place in what was originally a 3 place contest but also managed to do what I set out to do by managing tp predict two, THAT'S RIGHT TWO, events that are slated to happen in comic, that's INSANE!

Hopefully one day I can return to this fic & complete it, maybe even more ;), but for now enjoy what I was able to complete for the contest and a reminder to myself that if you ever find yourself doubting yourself or your abilities or feel like you aren't good enough again then I want you to come back to this and remember all the great things you've accomplished in your life, I want you to remember that no matter what you're wonderful, you're the light that shines through the darkness even when it dims, you're the rainbow that appears after every storm no matter how rocky the weather gets, and the harbinger of change that will guide this world on a path to peace even if we don't live long enough to see it, and I'm proud of how far we've come in almost 23 years of being alive. It may not always seem like it but I know we're going to go on to do great things in our lifetime, even in the next should we decide we want to come back & experience life all over again, no matter how small & I can't wait to see the radiant person we turn out to be by the time we're 100 💕🌈

-A New Dawn-

“Farewell Rune, I would have never made it this far if I hadn’t been blessed with a friend like you. Although the parting hurts…….I……..leave…………..”  The sands of time swirled around the fading Shinx as flashes of blush, celeste , and emerald  were swept under the grainy waves below. “No….” thought Rune as she swiftly plummeted back into the past, back to where her nightmares began. “Not now, not when I finally found my way!” Her vision started to slowly fade to black as she pleaded “Please…..I don’t want to be lost!” to no avail, she was already lost once more or so she thought.  “Naomi.” resonated a gentle voice throughout her eardrums amongst the sound of waves. “My new champion you must rise!” echoed another voice as the clawed palm of the first carefully rubbed along the soft icy back of the Alolan Vulpix that currently rested on the sand. Slowly opening her eyes, Rune found herself in front of a Grovyle,whom currently had Maelstrom wrapped around his shoulders, standing alongside a familiar shore, wait wasn’t this? Yes it was!! This was the same beach where she awoke lost without her memories, where she………..”I’m sorry about your teammate.” Dante said in an attempt to console his old friend as she starred at the soft orange tinted sand with a mix of sorrow, bewilderment, and relief in her eyes. He just looked upon her with a frown as he tenderly wrapped the flash scarf of the now departed Malachi, the abstract grooves etched across Maelstrom briefly flickered a flash of blue but she too remained silent. “I’m sure you have quest-“ but Rune merely interrupted him by flatly stating “Many but this isn’t the place to talk.” Gesturing for him to follow, the trio carefully navigate their way up Sharpedo Bluff unseen as the sun sets on the horizon.  Dielle let out an exasperated sigh as she collapsed atop the bed she had made for herself after an exhausting day on the job. “Them Mimikyu sure know how to give a Meowth a run for her money but it was all worth it for this.” Sapphire shined from the badge perfectly snug between electric claws as Dielle admired Team Maelstrom’s newfound mark of the Diamond rank. “If only the three of you were here to see how far we’ve come, I’m sure you’d be proud.” She let out a sigh of sorrow before her ears perked up at the sound of foot steps and speak of the Impidimp guess who waltzed right into their team base. “RUNE I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!!” Dielle exclaimed as she practically pounced upon her, holding her in a tight embrace. “The whole guild searched everywhere but no matter how hard we looked no one could find hide nor hair of you, everyone assumed the worse had happened, how are you even here? Where’s-“ she trailed off as a perturbed look washed over her features at the sight of Dante. Whipping her head towards the Vulpix for answers Rune quietly states “I believe we have a lot of catching up to do” with eyes of Gloom. 

(On Borrowed Time and it's cast of characters featured in the art/fic belong to @woo-led , The video game OBT is loosely based on, Explorers of Time, Darkness, & Sky, along with the Pokemon mystery dungeon spin off series belongs to Nintendo and Game Freak.)

-Extras-

To kick things off we have a lovely little piece of Dune (Dielle x Rune) sharing some Bi-Lesbi kisses beneath a shimmering pink sunset I did as part of an OBT 12 fan art challenge I sadly never got the chance to complete but hopefully can find the time to come back too & even spruce up this piece a bit.

If you're a fan of OBT or just the PMD series in general you're more than welcome to put the prompt list I whipped up for my now abandoned challenge to good use if you're ever in the mood for some fan art. Just be sure to ignore the part that says "Please read description for rules-updates!!" if you do.

(Decided to include the Time Gear I made as a foreground for said prompt list.)

And to pretty much put a bow on this entire post here's a collage of photos I took of the prizes I won from the contest & a raffle Woo hosted earlier this summer.

Please be sure to order you copy of Born Yesterday and Dielle's Wish here & support Woo over on Patreon!!

Dielle's Wish is now available to read on comic fury should you lack the money or no prints are available to order at this time.

Exploration Team Ultra - Updated Ref Sheet!

The game is actually so wrong for this.

How did the team all meet up and form?

Surya: I'm really glad she said yes. Being an explorer has been a lot of fun!

Ammy: Agreed!

Maelstrom, should something, er, “happen” to Malachi, what would you do? Would you permanently lose the ability to speak? Could you choose a new champion?

Maelstrom: ...
