hi so new idea (ily d boy)

Hi so I got a new story poem/short writing piece idea a little after I woke up on Monday morning.

And can I just say....

I love Duke so much omg.

Viewers: Cutepups... >:/

So then on Tuesday, I checked my sources from 2014 (yikes). I did write it in a chapter. It was weird how I suddenly thought of it when I was getting ready for school on Monday. But anyway, I guess I should explain it to you guys.

Chapter 9- at age 9, Duke got locked in a freezing cold basement for 12 hours.

Haha yeah. I was casually thinking of that specific 2014 chapter flashback scene on Monday. 

Ok so then I came up with a story poem- or, like, a short writing piece- about all that.

Then I thought of Calliah (Duke's mother) some more. And.. wow.. I broke my own heart. 

In other words...

I have a new poem (or short prose piece? idk how to categorize it) that would be me writing in Duke's POV.

This idea.. this freaking idea.. it gave me chills and nearly made me genuinely cry. 

Ok lol that word "chills" is a pun. Pfft. 

Know what's up? All my characters get glow ups from 2014 to 2017. That 2017 glow up though; mm gotta love that actual character development I have stuck in my head. 

Uh.. I have a lot of Duke POV poem ideas that are based on future story scenes that are very.. sad, to say the least. But this one I suddenly thought of on Monday and Tuesday? Oh geez, that one gave me the chills because wow ok wow.

Psst, Calliah is involved in this new idea I have. 

Duke and Calliah.. just thinking of them makes me emotional. 10x more of an emotional mess than in previous years. 

I have other Duke POV poems about Calliah, but this new one I thought of is more about sadness than anger or unforgiveness.

Duke? Writing and reading something he wrote that is serious and not a meme? Giving me the chills and the tears? Impossible, you say. But wait.. just wait till I post it.

Lmao hey Duke makes me cry. This character.. what a tragedy. Very sad. Ouch.

Please help. Help me. Help my fire df boy 2.0 son. 

Ah yes duh, I'm a Duke stan. 

I also have a few Dawn poems in mind. Omg I love her so much. That's a glow up. I love 2017 Dawn. I honestly hated 2015 Dawn. But now she has a backstory. Again.. ouch, my heart.

In other words, I'm a hecking...

I'm a huge mcfreaking Duke stan and Dawn stan. 

I love them so much. More and more every month.

None of you know why yet. But I do. So much. Omg I love them.

Psst, it's because of their pasts. Uh.. maybe. Hey, I love suffering.

I'm wording everything in this post awkwardly because I'm thinking of this new Duke poem/prose idea I got on Monday, and certain lines are hurting me emotionally.

Asdfghjkl. Who hurt my son? Oh wait, it was me. Because he's my character. XD omg!

Anyway.. f*ck you, Fierdan. 

What did I just say? That's right. Part of me hates Fierdan. And it's not because of his "killings" it's because of something else.

................ That writing thing I keep referring to. Coming up next.

Slow Down Time

Looking at the calendar
I see a new month
Has fallen to this world
Why did October leave us so soon?
November replaced the spot on the throne
October is another fallen month
Which means it's now November's time to rise 

The clocks have gone back an hour
Is my head so fogged up that I believe the illusion?
Since we pushed back the times on our clocks
Does that mean we slowed down the time?
We manipulated the time to slow down for us
We're an hour behind now
Time must have slowed down
Right?

But I wish that was the truth
The truth is that time
This mighty concept called time
Never slowed down for us at all
It turns out that we
Were in a race with time
And now we're no longer tied
Because time beat us
So now we're the ones chasing after time 

Time is so fast
I'm too slow
Time is going on without me
I can't catch up at this rate
2017 is almost over
It's already November 
If there were to be a month that I would
Fall apart the most likely in
It would definitely be this month
November of the year 2017

Time is merciless
Time doesn't care
I've been begging for time to slow down
For so long now
I'm sorry that I 
Begged for November to never come
But did time listen to me?
Of course not
Because it's now November
How did this happen?
How did it come to this?

It is November
Please pause the time
I'm not ready for time to continue
I'm already so far behind as it is
Please I beg you
Press the pause button
Pause time
Or at least
Slow it down
November has come
But I'm not ready to face it

It's hard to be optimistic 
Thanksgiving, winter holidays
None of that matters right now
I have to get through November first 
And November is a malicious beast
That I've feared since the start of the year 

You don't get it, do you?
This November determines everything
It holds my life on the line
I didn't want November of this year to come because
November feels like my death sentence
So I've been desperate for November to not come because
I'm not ready to die
Pause or slow down time
November is a killer after me
I don't want to die
I want to live
But it feels as if
November wants me dead
So in other words
Pause time
Slow down time
Or else
November will leave me dead 

Don't be fooled by the illusion
Time never slows down for us
And it never did 


oh...

It's after midnight. Whatever.

I said I was gonna post writings (aka poems) this past weekend. 

Yeah uh.. I didn't formerly write anything.

I've been looking at a lot of poems and prose recently. I have so many ideas.

And yet.. I didn't write them.

At some times of the day, I'm motivated to write and draw. And at other times, I lose all that motivation. 

Yeah, it sucks. Meh.

Most of them are sad, but I have some happy ideas too. A few happy ones. Okay.

(I took a nap a few hours ago, so maybe staying up isn't that bad..? Not really, but screw it.)  

Now I'm gonna post my mental notes for certain things that I won't be explaining. 

But why? Well, why not?

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

Ardere - Taurel
Phantom - Twinkle 
Duke - Risak (?)
Risak - Duke 
Finny - Corruption/Devastation 

-x-x-

Ashes --> Fire 
Dirt --> Plants

Victim --> Survivor
Weak --> Strong

-x-x-

I want to draw parts from that skit I posted on Sunday.

Dang it...

-x-x-

Debates in my head:

Who is my favorite fire boy df? Fierdan or Duke?
Which one of them had/has a worse life and a messed up childhood?

Hmm, it's hard to decide.

Who's past was more sad/messed up? Duke's, Fierdan's, Ryen's, or Dawn's? Duke's or Dawn's?

It's hard to decide. They've all got it bad.

-x-x-

I woke up on Monday with a drawing idea.

One where I draw Calliah.

Yeah, enjoy my vagueness. :-)

-x-x-

Time

Should post the poem with that theme soon.

Sunday passed, so it'll make more sense.

Something to write about.

-x-x-

Is this what I want?

Am I doing what's right?

When will I be satisfied?

When will I know?

......

Bye.

Fools and Time skit

Hi, I came up with a new skit idea. I just have to post it now. Haha, hope you enjoy! :)

[It's Monday morning (aka tomorrow morning). Duke suddenly opens his eyes and sits up in bed. He glances at the clock on his nightstand and screams like a little girl. Even though he only slept in his underwear (boxers), he throws the blankets off the bed and runs out of the room in a panic.] 

Duke: 7 am?! How is it already 7?! School starts in 30 minutes! Oh come on, we just started going back. What the hell, Sparkle! You were supposed to wake me up! *incoherent screaming*
Brock: *in a worried voice* Oh, finally somebody woke up! It's already 8 in the morning. School started a half hour ago!
Duke: *in a confused voice, panics more* It's 8 now?! 
Brock: Yeah, the clocks got pushed an hour ahead at what would be 2 am. 
Duke: *more incoherent screaming, runs downstairs without going into the bathroom*
Brock: *watches Duke leave, shrugs, and enters the bathroom*

[Duke runs in a downstairs hallway, but then he suddenly sees Fierdan. Fierdan is wearing nothing but a robe and slippers that match the color of the robe. He holds a cup that has a hot liquid in one hand, easily summons a tiny orange fire on his fingertips, and heats up the brown drink. Fierdan looks strangely calm in the quiet morning. Duke probably looks like the opposite of Fierdan at this point.]

Duke: Why are you the only one who's up? 
Fierdan: I told you, Duke. I don't properly sleep like the rest of you guys.
Duke: It's already 8 in the morning. Shouldn't you be dressed by now?
Fierdan: *laughs* Did you just ask me why I'm not fully dressed when you're just in your underwear?
Duke: Huh? *the realization hits* Oh, shoot! *turns around to go back the way he came but then nearly stumbles because Brock is right in front of Duke now*
Brock: Oh hello, drunkie and drunkie's daddy.
Fierdan: I'm not actually Duke's dad--
Duke: *is an angry boy* F*ck off, Brock! Stop being such a creep, square head.
Brock: Oh, I see how it is. Back at it with the square head insults, aren't we, drunkie? 
Duke: Damn it, Brock! Leave me alone! 
Brock: Hmm. *strokes chin as he observes Fierdan looking like he's zoned out* Since Duke's existence is just the fusion of you and Soulless, would that make you Duke's daddy? 
Fierdan: *is still zoned out, leave him alone omg Brock*
Duke: Damn it, Brock! Just say father!
Fierdan: *is woke* Father?! I'm not him, I swear I'm not him!
Duke: Hey, that's my line! 
Fierdan: Why was this kid *points to Brock* saying I'm a "daddy"?
Duke: *is a very annoyed boy* Ugh! Square head! 
Brock: *snickers and leaves them alone*
Fierdan: *shrugs and takes a sip of the drink in his cup (he took a sip, babe)*
Duke: How did you not spill that?
Fierdan: It's called skill. *takes another sip, babe*
Duke: *sighs* What are you even drinking? Alcoholic coffee again?
Fierdan: Again? Oh no, this is hot chocolate.
Duke: So you aren't having alcohol or caffeine during this morning hour?
Fierdan: *looks at the brown liquid in the cup* Uh, it's too early for that stuff.
Duke: Too early? It's 8. *the realization hits* Why am I talking to you right now? I'm in a rush! 
Fierdan: *puts his other hand into a pocket on the left side of the robe* It's not 8 am.
Duke: So it's 7? Then I was right. We're still late though.
Fierdan: *takes out a watch from the pocket* It's not 7 either. Your clock must not change the time automatically.
Duke: So what time is it then?
Fierdan: *reads the time on his watch* It's 6:10 am.
Duke: Wait, it's only 6? That means the clocks have gone back an hour!
Fierdan: Uh yeah, that's what it means.
Duke: Why didn't anyone tell this to Brock or me?
Fierdan: *takes a long sip, babe* Because you're both fools. You're stupid for not knowing that Daylight Savings Time ended on Sunday.  
Duke: My clock was wrong the whole day yesterday?! 
Fierdan: Yep, you're an idiot. 
Duke: *incoherent grumbling and muttering noises* ... and while I'm at it, I guess I have to inform you on this subject yet again, Fierdan. You're no longer living all alone in Cincernum. Other people can see you now. There's no reason for you to walk around the house while you're naked.
Fierdan: *sets the almost empty cup on a nearby table, raises one finger with that hand* One- I'm not naked, I'm wearing this robe. *raises a second finger* Two- I wasn't alone in Cincernum because I brought Fauna with me to there.
Duke: *horrifed* You made her see you naked?!
Fierdan: How stupid are you, Duke? Of course I wasn't naked when she was with me! Why the hell would I be naked if I wasn't alone?!
Duke: I don't know, maybe it's because you're you. 
Fierdan: What's that supposed to mean? Does it disturb you that I would sometimes wear no clothes when I lived in total isolation from society? Soulless wasn't connected to me 24/7 while we were in Cincernum. 
Duke: I'm saying this isn't Cincernum. Other people live in this house, and they can see you.
Fierdan: *lowers fingers* Let me make something clear. Being naked at hours when the rest of you guys should be upstairs and in your rooms shouldn't disturb you so much. You're not even seeing me during those hours! *grabs cup and finishes drinking the hot chocolate*
Duke: I really got to get dressed for school. It has to be 6:15 by now. *turns to leave again but Fierdan's voice stops him from moving any further*
Fierdan: I'm nothing like Father because I never was and never will be the type of predator he was. He was Dawn's poison, and I was her remedy. I saved her. I hope you know that. *the robe falls (?)*
Duke: What are you even saying? 
Fierdan: I'm not a --

[Fierdan is cut off by Sparkle calling out from upstairs.]

Sparkle: Why are you so loud? The rest of us literally just woke up. *angrily stomps down the staircase, goes to where Duke and Fierdan are* 
Duke: ... that wasn't the point I was trying to make. *sees Sparkle* Oh. *looks at Fierdan who is retying his robe (how did it even fall?)* Oh!
Sparkle: It's way too early for me having to confront you two on your crap, but I have no choice.
Fierdan: Stupid robe.
Duke: You had your arms through the sleeves, so how did you make your robe fall down?
Fierdan: You're getting on my nerves.
Sparkle: Uh yeah, hello? I'm here, fools!
Fierdan: What are you doing down here?
Sparkle: I'm getting ready for school. What are you doing here? 
Duke: He doesn't sleep.
Sparkle: Haha, sure he doesn't. *grabs the empty cup* What's this? 
Fierdan: *mutters* Hot chocolate. 
Sparkle: *puts cup back on table* Okay. *looks at Duke and Fierdan again* Why are you half-naked, and why was he just naked?
Duke: *face is getting red from anger and embarrassment* I really have to get ready for school. Goodbye! *rushes past them and runs upstairs, and Sparkle follows him a minute later*

[Five minutes later. Duke is wearing black jeans, a dark gray shirt, gray socks, and a different pair of underwear (boxers). He clicks his tongue as he runs a comb through his very dark brown hair. He opens his door and tries to walk with swag.] 

Brock: Hey can I ask you something, Duke?
Duke: *snaps at Brock* No, you can't! 
Brock: Look, I'm sorry I messed up the times. This time, it went an hour back and not an hour ahead.
Duke: I thought I told you to leave me the hell alone. *pushes Brock out of the way with one of his hands*  
Brock: You never wear colors. What an emo.
Duke: I'm not an emo! 
Brock: Oh hello, Twinkle!

[Twinkle sighs and walks away from Brock.]

Duke: *smiles* Oh hey, Twinkle! 
Twinkle: What do you want now?
Duke: *tries to think of something good to say but only ends up saying* Brock is so gross.
Twinkle: Uh.. I think he's improving.
Duke: I still look better than him, right?
Twinkle: What does that have to do with anything?
Duke: I look better than him. I'm a beautiful boy with swag.
Twinkle: *looks disgusted at Duke* Uh.. *whispers with annoyance* Why do you always look good without even trying? 
Duke: What was that? 
Twinkle: *steps on Duke's foot* Can you be like me and go to school looking ugly?
Duke: *cradles foot* Just say I'm hot. You can also thank Fierdan for having the fire Elemental Power.
Twinkle: Shut up, ugly!
Duke: Wait, you just told me you were jealous of me because I'm never ugly! 
Twinkle: Brush your teeth. Your breath stinks.
Brock: *laughs very hard* Oh snap, you just owned!
Duke: F*ck you too, Twinkle. *enters bathroom and slams the door behind him*
Twinkle: *speaks to the closed bathroom door* Oh if I recall, that's what you told them. That you --
Finny: *leaves his room and enters the hallway* Guys, you have to remember. We can't say anything deeply inappropriate in skits.
Twinkle: What are you talking about?
Finny: *stares at Twinkle who is facing him now* I know. I know what you intended on saying before I stopped you.
Twinkle: But he was lying. He didn't actually --
Finny: Shh! What did I just say?!
Brock: Oh wow, drunkie is such a bad boy. 
Duke: *from inside bathroom, spits, and then says* Shut up. I've always been a bad boy.
Twinkle: Uh...
Duke: I've done very bad things. *clicks tongue* I killed a man.
Brock: *horrified* What the hell?! When did that happen?! 
Duke: The story universe. Also known as the universe that you don't exist in. 
Finny: Story universe Duke terrified me towards the end.
Duke: *sprays something* Only at the end, Finny? Haha, that's understandable.  
Finny: You nearly killed two men. And.. like that.
Duke: Finny, remember when I cradled you in my arms?
Twinkle: I swear that's a reference to something. 
Finny: *sighs* It is. And no, I didn't remember that. Wasn't I dead then? 
Brock: Finny died?! 
Finny: *sighs* Yeah. Nearly all of us- well, except you of course- died at least once.
Brock: W-what the f*ck.
Duke: *kicks open the bathroom door and flashes his teeth* What is it, Brock? Thought I was exaggerating back then? You didn't believe me.
Twinkle: Ugh, stop being so dramatic.
Duke: I'm the f*cking Duke Fierdan, damn it! 
Dawn: *magically enters hallway where they all are* You sure are, sweetie. *pats Duke on the back*
Twinkle: *snickers* Dawn, thank you. I love you so much.
Dawn: I love you, too. 
Sparkle: *from further down the hallway* We have to leave now. 
Brock: Squad out!
Duke: Never say that again.
Brock: *is disappointed* Oh okay.

Yay for long skits! ;)

Creepy Child (finished)

Hey, I finally finished a drawing wip from a while back.


Young Duke being a creepy child.. who is considered to be more of a monster than another little kid. 

Read that post I linked to for more context about the picture. It's from Chapter 27. My comments from back then are killing me slowly because they're full of cringe.

"Don't say I didn't warn you."- Duke.

But instead of how I wrote it, I drew Duke saying that when he got out of the pool. The back of his hand and his nails are crimson-colored because that's what I wrote in the chapter.. hahaa.

I drew it so the viewer can be the other teens. They're afraid of little kid Duke because he knocked out his cousin (oh whom? idk still) while in the pool, he got blood on his hand, his cursed flame mark is visible, and he is staring madly at the teen who was teasing and harassing him. In the drawing, Duke is about to scratch half of the harasser teen's face with his bloody nails. 

So yeah. He's a creepy child. This boy.. oh geez.  

I tried to exaggerate the eyes and mouth to make it look more creepy. I think it looks a little better from the wip. I don't think the hair and anatomy look as awful now. I fixed the hand and neck.

Anyway, here's the finished version: 


He's supposed to be 6 (which I guess is the equivalent to being 9) years old in this. Hmm, I hope he looks younger in this than my other drawings of him. Yeah idk lmao uh.

There weren't any actual visible orange and black fire sparks from that old chapter, but I drew them anyways. 

I still don't like how I drew his arms. They look.. bad. 

Parts of his hair are darker than others. That shows how parts of his hair got wet. The blue is supposed to be water droplets. 

Aww, look at how big those shirt sleeves are compared to his small shoulders. Pfft, my child. Uh.. Duke's my child, ok lmao.

His white shirt got wet, so it's supposed to look see-through. Eh, I tried.

I like the hand way better in his version than the wip version. The fingers, the shapes.. yeah, it's better here.

Ugh, those eyes look uneven. I like his right eye more. They're big to make it look like he's staring creepily. Creepy eyes to accompany that creepy smile. Aww yeah heck.

..... ...... ..... 

Future story scenes that I see as parallels to this drawing/scene: 

- Duke saying something like, "You can't kill me that easily" to Risak before beating the living crap out of him.
- Duke saying something like, "I see a flaw in your actions" to Taurel before beating the living crap out of him. 

Duke's voice, appearance, and actions are all more scary than the time before. Hmm, more violent you could say. 

Duke with Risak is more scary than the Duke in the scene this drawing is from. And Duke with Taurel is scarier than him with Risak.

Basically, Duke is a creepy guy who actually can become legit terrifying at times. 

(I said "creepy" a lot in this post, lmao.)

Hmm wait. I guess it can be argued that Duke with Risak is the most cruel. I mean.. the results of the Duke vs. Risak fight.. umm oh damn. 

But even from the beginning of the Duke vs. Taurel fight, Duke is still brutally violent even if he can't be violent in the same way that he was in his fight with Risak. I think it'll be more disturbing to write the Duke vs. Taurel fight than the Duke vs. Risak fight because there's more intimate physical violence in the Taurel one. Haha, more blood and less mercy. Ongoing pain can be worse than death. Duke learns that from his time with Taurel. 

Duke... <3 :'0 my boy! 

Yes, there are gonna be some violent fights. >;)

Uh.. where was I going with this? I don't know.

Bye for now.

About Friday from earlier

And now I'm gonna post about today (I'm typing this when it's still Friday).

So.. umm...

People actually talked to me in school. And I talked too. 

Yeah, haha, wow. Nice lol.

Not everyone- even including girls- talks about sad and stressful stuff like college 24/7. What a relief. Something different. That was pretty good. 

Haha yeah. :')

I'm gonna type about my dream from early this morning. Take this warning, ok.

.....................

I was driving, and the car was filled with people. I forgot exactly who was there, but it was probably my family members. 

I didn't know where I was going. They refused to give me any directions. 

So I was driving. Then there was an intersection. There were a lot of lanes. 

I was already in the far left turning lane when I drove the car up to a red traffic light. 

I'm not sure why dream-me was depending on them so much. I think I was driving them to or from a bar. They could've all been drunk. 

So when I was waiting for the light to turn green, one of them demanded for me to turn right. But the right turning lane was two lanes away from the lane our car was in. 

Then stupid dream-me panicked and freaking turned right from the left turning lane. Oh and the light was still red. Wow, I was such an idiot lmao omg.

And then the car crashed. Oh dang. Are we all dead? Hmm probably. There were a lot of cars.

After that, my alarm woke me up for school.

Pfft, yeah man. Talk about a dream leaving me shook. Ah geez. 

Dreams.. mm. :-) 

I'll try to post writing things tomorrow and on Sunday. 

That's all I have to say for now. Bye.

Final Days of Inktober

It's a few days late, I know. Anyway, I just drew these now.

Just used my Sharpie. Yet again.

:) <3 


"I give up".. I'm too lazy to draw any better. 

Day 29: United
Ryen, Fierdan, Dawn. They look happy.. how unrealistic of them.

Day 30: Found
End of story Duke. When he found someone. .. ouch.

Day 31: Mask
Z is such a mysterious character. What is his real identity? It's a mystery because nobody knows for sure. He wore a mask. Nobody but him knows the truth about himself 100%. Dang it, Z. Anyway, I hate him.

That's it for October. And now it's November.... ~~~~~~ 

I'll be back soon. :) <3
