More Picrews :3

 Hi, I have more Picrews to share with you all. Yay. :3

Duke and Twinkle. Dukle. My first OTP of my characters lol. This looks cute; they look cute. Twinkle's hand is supposed to be on Duke's chest, feeling his heartbeat. Ah, does anyone remember way back when I was obsessed with the concept of heartbeats and feeling others' heartbeats and intimacy and all that? Ah.. so that happened. <3

The pictures of my characters in this Picrew all are from different times and events. I'll explain more with each character.

Jack, but he probably still went by Jay and Jaysen. I'm guessing he would be around 16 or 17 years old during this time. This is when he's a teen, recently after he ran away from his family's house and started living on the streets. This is also probably one of the first times he had his hair dyed. He likes having his hair dyed with a white streak towards the front. He's also a smoker. He's still pretty new to living on the streets and will soon (if he hasn't already) dive into sketchy stuff. And that's why his face looks like that here. Oh and he really likes wearing hoodies and loose-fitting clothing, especially when he was a teen. To put it in perspective, when he meets Fierdan, he's 22 or 23 years old.

Twinkle (Stella). This takes place in the middle of story 1 when she and Duke are hanging out together, walking around, exploring. All that good stuff. This is probably when she starts growing stronger and gaining confidence. Oh and she's sweating. Because it's hot out.

Duke / Fierdan, looks more like Duke though. Edgy boy loves wearing black clothes. Loves his black jacket made of concealed black fire. Looking sinister and suggestive. Ah, classic Duke. Covered in scars like his true form is. He has lots of scars. Why is he sticking his tongue out and looking like that in general? I'm not sure. Go ask him yourself. 






~ void ~ 

Dawn. I think this skin tone fits her better than the other one. The other one I used for Jack and Twinkle looks too pale for Dawn's skin tone. Actually, I'm not sure when this takes place. Dawn's looking cute but also like she knows too much. Which is true, haha. I like how her hair looks in pigtails and those green hair bows look cute. She has long, fairly dark brown hair. She likes having her hair in braids as well, in addition to simply wearing it down. And the background looks like watermelons.

And that's all the new Picrews I have. For now. ;)


~ sorry for so much blank space lmao ~ 

My fall 2020 college semester started. It started yesterday, actually. I'm back in campus, living in a dorm. This is gonna be a weird semester. Campus life is pretty weird. *cough* social distancing and everything with covid-19 *cough, cough*. 

Well.. that's all I really have to say. For now anyway.

I'll try to be more active here, but I've been stuck with coming up with post ideas. 

And that's it. See ya next time.

Pictures of the Pets: Thelma and Yoda

 Hi, I'm back. I haven't been checking this blog that much lately. I feel like that's obvious. *shrugs*

Anyway, I should have posted this last week. But oh well, I'll just post it now.

Here are pictures of my pets. You all probably know about my cat, Thelma. And then there's Yoda, my brother's pet chameleon. She's been staying at my house for the past few weeks. 

Ok, ok. There's an intro. Now onto the pictures. ;)

Shan Cooks Omurice

 Hi, I'm Shan. I'm back with another post. :)

A few days ago, I cooked a recipe for a food dish my family and I have never tried before. I'm just going to assume you read this post's title, so you know what food I'm referring to. 

Ah yes, omurice. I made omurice. 

It was good. I'd totally cook and eat it again. Mm hmm. 

Here's the recipe I used: https://www.justonecookbook.com/omurice-japanese-omelette-rice/

Delicious. :')

In mine, I didn't put in any cheese. We didn't have cheese in the house at the time. I don't think that was a big deal. Not having cheese. 

Besides the ketchup chicken fried rice, my omurice had: onion, broccoli, and green bell pepper. 

Everyone enjoyed the dinner I made that evening. All's good. :)

And that's it. Now I'll end the post with a picture of an omurice I made. 

'Later~ ;)

Who Are You? (skit, part 2)

I’m finally here with part 2 of the skit story. 

This skit features my story characters in the skit universe. Previously in this universe, the skit characters, Duke and Fierdan, have integrated to become one person. One character, one being. Towards the end of part 1 in this skit story, the newly integrated Duke-Fierdan awakens. 


Now here is part 2. Contains strong language. Enjoy!~ 

———————————

[Time: Sunrise. Month: January. Every character except Fierdan wakes up at the sound of smoke detectors going off, and they each leave their rooms in a panic. Before descending to the first floor, they talk to each other on the upper floor level. Since they were asleep in the middle of the night before the alarms started ringing, they are wearing their pajamas. The air becomes thick with smoke and the smell and heat of a dying fire rises to greet them.] 

Twinkle: What in the world? *rubs eyes* Make them stop ringing. Make it stop. 
Dawn: *looks around* How is there a fire? *starts coughing because of the smoke* 
Jack: Fire? That’s it! *starts running towards the staircase* It has to be... 
Ryen: *walks to Jack and blocks him from going downstairs* No. I’ll call the fire department. They’ll handle this. *turns back to look at Twinkle and Dawn* We’ll head out this way, and then—

[Suddenly, a young man steps out from the shadows hiding his presence on the lower floor. He flexes and extends his hands to nobody, and there is a grin on his face as he looks up to see the others looking down on him from above. He interrupts Ryen.] 

Fierdan: Ah, look who it is. Hello. *waves one of his hands* 
Twinkle: *says impulsively and angrily* Oh. It’s you. 
Fierdan: *ignores her* I have awoken as a new person. My old selves have died, died in the flames and died in the lions’ den, and I’m here to— 
Dawn: *interrupts him, looks at the bathroom door on the lower floor that is bright in orange flame underneath it’s door* The... The bathroom. 
Twinkle: *sighs* Oh no, not again. 
Jack: He’s back, he’s back! *pushes Ryen out of the way and runs down the stairs and towards Fierdan* I’ve been waiting for you! *hugs Fierdan* Fierdan! 
Fierdan: *turns his head to face Jack, turns his grin into a warm smile and hugs Jack back* Yes. We meet again, my love. *breaks away from Jack but keeps his hands on his shoulders* But that is not my name. 

[Ryen, Stella, and Dawn walk downstairs to stand in front of him, at a further distance from where Jack stands.] 

Ryen: What is the meaning of this, Fierdan? Waking up from who knows what and setting fires to rooms? Have you changed at all, little brother? 
Fierdan: *has the sly grin back on his face, glares at Ryen* Haven’t I just said that ‘Fierdan’ is not my name? It does not belong to me anymore. I’ve cast it away. 
Twinkle: *interrupts out of impulse* Then what should we call you? 
Fierdan: Daniel. I am Daniel, master of fire, tamer of beasts, manipulator of lions in their own den. I defy God and the Divine, yet my very blood and DNA is supernatural. I am Daniel, second son to C. and Z. and... *faces each of them directly, his eyes burning with intensity*
Twinkle: *is surprised to see Fierdan staring at her* 
Fierdan: Twinkle. Or should I say, Stella? *grins* Ah yes. Stella. Stella, Stella, Stella. I used to love you. And now you are my friend and ally. I have wronged you many, many times, and I hope I can redeem myself. Let you rise of out of the ashes, young phoenix of fire and ice. 
Twinkle: *looks even more surprised and confused* What? 
Fierdan: *ignores her to then face Dawn* Dawn. You haven’t changed your name, and it rolls easily off my tongue. Dawn. My first friend. A light in the darkness. My naïve self couldn’t look beyond my own perspective to notice how much you’ve been hurting. You’ve suffered so much, and yet you try your best to remain pure at heart. I can’t help but to respect and admire you, my friend, my little sister. 
Dawn: Fier— Daniel. *wipes away fresh tears from her face with her hand* 
Fierdan: *helps wipe away her tears, then he turns to face Jack* Jack. Jaysen. J___. It has been agony being apart from you for so long, and I believe you felt the same way. I—
Jack: *cuts Fierdan off by kissing him, their lips touching gently and then depart, he smiles and has a mischievous look in his eyes* I know who I am. I’m your jack of all trades. I can do anything and everything for you, my Fier— ahem, my Daniel. And I mean anything. *winks* 
Fierdan: You mean so much to me. You saved me from the darkness that had me at its worst. You helped me be able to fight my inner demons, and thanks to you, it doesn’t mean I’m automatically losing the battle. 
Jack: Why are you being so formal? I fucking missed you so much, and I don’t think I can— 
Fierdan: *raises his right index finger in front of Jack’s lips* Shh. You do not have to express in words how much you missed me. Words are only one form of expression. 
Twinkle: Aren’t you speaking though? What are you blabbering on about? 
Ryen: *has a smug look on his face* 
Fierdan: *stares at Ryen out of the corner of his eye for a few seconds, then focuses entirely on Jack again, his eyes drifting from his eyes to his lips, speaks softly to Jack* I love you, I love you, I love you. *then he roughly presses his lips onto Jack’s, their kiss deepening as the seconds pass by* 
Twinkle: *smirks* 
Dawn: *rubs the back of her neck with her hand still wet with her tears* 
Fierdan: *breaks the kiss when Jack’s face turns red, has a satisfied look on his face* Does that suffice, or should we continue it in the privacy of your bedroom? 
Jack: I fucking love you too, ya bastard. 
Fierdan: But I am not one.
Jack: *rolls eyes, his blush fades away*
Fierdan: I’ll continue with you later. *walks a few steps away from his lover and stands in front of his brother, the friendliness and love in his eyes is now replaced by hatred as he looks up into Ryen’s face with an intimidating look in his eyes, his voice suddenly gone cold* Ryen. 
Ryen: *looks down at his brother, unbothered and his face still smug* 
Fierdan: Aeryen. My older and only brother. Ah yes, I know that’s your real name. Aeryen. You—
Ryen: *gasps* How did you find out? You couldn’t... you couldn’t have remembered. 
Fierdan: *says it mockingly* Aeryen, Aeryen, Aeryen. Daddy’s favorite. Worked with Daddy to get rid of me. Then created Soulless to make my life a living hell, day in and day out. I could never escape nightmares because of you. *raises his arms* And you called me pathetic. Useless. *his arms and hands start burning* You called me weak. 
Ryen: That was in the past. 
Fierdan: The past? The past! You’re funny if you think I’ve ever forgotten the words you said about me. I knew from the very start that your hatred of me runs deep. I’m only here to return the favor. 
Twinkle: What are you doing? 
Fierdan: I’m showing him how “weak” I am. And I’m getting tired of only using my words. *presses his burning hot hands onto Ryen’s chest* 
Ryen: Ow! What the fuck are you doing? 
Fierdan: *the rings of fire return to his eyes* I hate you, Aeryen! Daniels hates Aeryen! *breathes in, breathes out* I’ll show you weakness. *pauses* But you’ll be the one with it. *with strength that none of the others expected Fierdan to have, he pushes Ryen who is bigger than him all the way to the closest wall where Ryen’s back crashes into with a loud bang* 
Dawn: Oh my god. Fierdan—
Fierdan: I am Daniel, goddamnit! 
Dawn: Daniel? But... but why? You despised being called that. 
Fierdan: Times have changed, Dawn. Times have changed. I’m a new person, a new me. 
Ryen: *slowly gets away from the wall he crashed into, the smug look now long gone from his face* 
Fierdan: *goes to Ryen and stands in front of him, speaks in a menacing voice* I am not fucking weak. If I really wanted to, I could kill you right here and now. I could burn this whole goddamn place down and not just a bathroom. But that wouldn’t really benefit me right now, would it? And I hate you, Aeryen. I fucking hate you and despise you and loathe you, and I sometimes have to fight the urge to fucking murder your shady ass. You’re my brother, but I give zero fucks about you. You didn’t give a damn about me for all those years, and I think it’s about time you got what you deserved from me. 
Ryen: Daniel. You don’t...
Fierdan: *screams* Of course I fucking mean it! You weren’t there for me when I needed you as a little kid, and the only thing you did for me was leave me to die. Fuck you, Ryen. Fuck you. 
Ryen: I was waiting for you to wake up. Now I see that your memories of me only show how I was all those years ago. I... 
Fierdan: *takes a deep breath* Just... *shakes his head* I’ll just go. 
Jack: *rushes to Fierdan’s side* No! You only just came back to me. 
Fierdan: *turns his head and smiles at Jack* I knew you were almost always at my side. Thank you for that. 
Ryen: *suddenly looks worried as he looks at Fierdan’s face* I’m sorry! I know it’s not enough, but I’ll do anything to prove to you I’ve changed! I’m not the same as I was when I was working with Father. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. 
Fierdan: Oh, Aeryen. Ryen. My brother. Thank you.
Twinkle: I’m so confused. What the hell is going on here? 
Dawn: I think he’s gone mad. 
Twinkle: I thought he’s always been mad. 

[Fierdan falls to his knees, and the smoke and flames disappear completely. The smoke detectors stop going off. The sudden silence startles everyone, except Fierdan. And just as dramatic an entrance he made is his dramatic exit. Except he doesn’t go anywhere. He only sits on his knees, his head inches from the floor, his face expressionless.]

hi i’m back

Hi. I’m back. 

Today’s 8/8. lol >;3 

So...... this blog has been dead recently, huh? It’s almost been 2 weeks without a new post from me. 

Hope no one missed me too much. .... *hears crickets* ........... ok then. 

I don’t remember if I mentioned it on here, but for the past few weeks I’ve been using my phone a whole lot less. Well, until a few days ago. 

You see, my phone charger broke, and I didn’t get a new one until a few days ago. There were bite marks on the charger, so I suspect Thelma (my cat) broke it. She can be quite a naughty cat indeed. 

Then earlier this week, my house didn’t have power (electricity) for two days. Over 48 hours. Having no electricity is terrible. 

Stupid hurricane ruining everything. *smh* :/ 

Now the house has power back, obviously. I can finally use my phone again. Yay! :’) 

I’ve been reading a lot more recently, especially when the power was out. 

I read a book called Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Oh my gosh, that book was beautiful. <3 

What an emotional book. Making me think about things and have feelings. Geez. ;~; 

I’m also in the middle of reading the Grisha trilogy. It’s also good, but so far I like the Six of Crows duology more. 

And... I don’t know what else to say. So I guess that’s it. 

I’ll try to remember to post more often. Ok bye.
