I was looking through some of my old drawings trying to find a particular picture. While leafing through, I found this old traditional piece I did of the original Janett design. She was initially going to be the main female lead in a book idea I had, but I stopped working on it and then later revived/revamped/reskinned the character for this series concept instead.

And so I thought just for fun, why not redraw this picture, but in the cartoon style she's part of now?

she actually kept a few characteristics with the original drawing, like the eye shape and the older style fashion choice. a few things have changed though, like her cleft palate scar and heterochromia eyes; and because the original is supposed to be her in high school, I gave her the shorter haircut she would have had back then. I also played a little bit with textures to reminisce the paper and colored pencil look. just a little.

Either way, what do you guys think of the style change?

FanFiciton Multiverse: The Emperor-Verse

Given the nature of my RWBY Reimagined AU, Saints of Remnant, I'm thinking compiling some of my fanfictions in a universe thats inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia which is implied to exist in this universe but never truly touched upon until a major crossover event and even then, its set after The Last Battle so Narnia is long gone, but it vaguely implied and referenced to explain how this multiverse works and even the origins of some worlds along utilizing the theology of my Catholic Faith, The Works of CS Lewis and Medieval Cosmology, since all these things in my opinion can help tie them all together.

The Emperor-Verse(link to the blog is in the title)

The Emperor-Verse is the fanfiction multiverse in which these stories take place, named after the Supreme Deity that rules these worlds The-Emperor-Of-All-That-Is which were created or adopted by The Great Prince and given The Breath of Life

My Catholic Faith along with the works of CS Lewis served great inspiration for this universe, but mostly its a prototype of one of my fictional universes, or perhaps you can call a ‘multiverse’, known as The Loreverse which you can find on my primary blog

And here are some of the titles

RWBY: Saints of Remnant(reimagined)

Code Geass: Lelouch of The Knighood(reimagined, possible placeholder title)

Skullgirls: Reimagined(placeholder name, need to think of something more fitting)

Bionicle: A Tale of Hope(reimagined)

Fate/Defiance(Fan Sequel to Unlimted Bladeworks)

Skeleton Knight in Another World: The Order of The Sacred Blood(alternate sequel)

BlazBlue: Alterized Fate(reimagined)

D.Gray-Man: Encore(reimagined)

There may be more in the future

It may feature a crossover involving five characters, two from our world which shares the same world as Fate in this case, jumping from world to world and bring some other characters across worlds depending on the situation

Now you’re probably asking

“Why are you doing this?”

Mostly because like I said, its a prototype of concepts and stories which these franchises I’m using I take heavy inspiration from, which will most likely become there own things mostly for The Lorverse.

If I used The Loreverse which I plan to make money on, it might lead to legal issues and I don't want that to happen.

“Why are you using your Religion?”

Mostly due to it being a strong foundation, notably theology, for most of my stories, there are many strong foundations of storytelling, religion, history, you can even fantasize science if you put the imagination, time, and effort into it.

After doing some soul searching and listening to the Narnia books on Audible, which Narnia is implied to exist, or I should say had existed, in this universe, and I might include elements of CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy

The multiverse takes these universes and blends them into my faith and its theology, and even uses medieval cosmology, and makes them more like swashbucklings epics and fairy stories.

“Isn’t this kind of entitled and disrespectful?”

Disagreement isn’t necessarily malicious, and entitlement is not inherently bad if its your opinions and subjective feelings which people are entitled to.

Tolkien was heavily inspired by his distaste for how Shakespeare handled certain concepts, such as the Ents when he was upset and dissatisfied that there were no walking talking trees in the Enchanted Fortest of Macbeth, and the Valar Aule the Smith and the origin of the Dwarves make him something of an Anti-Prometheus

Not to mention Philip Pullman, the author of His Dark Materials Trilogy, made it out his distaste how CS Lewis made the Chronicles of Narnia and his overall beef with Christianity, and nobody seems to take issue with that.

I’m not trying to spite anyone, I’m not trying to spite Monty Oum with my RWBY Reimagined AU, Especially when I never knew the guy, and that can be said with the other AUs I’m not trying to change canon or its “trajectory” whatever that means in this context. I’m not saying Pyrrha and Arkos and the current direction of RWBY post V3 was objectively bad, just not my taste, I expected it to be more like Star Wars or Avatar the Last Airbender, and ships I wanted akin to Ed and Winry, Han and Leia, Kagome and Inuyasha, I think you get the idea, and I know not everyone who liked it and are fine with how these other franchises turned out is an elitist about it, just in my experience, there were people who were. And I won’t touch upon the ships I have a beef with on this blog either.

And I’m not saying any of the franchises I’ve been covering are all objectively bad, even when they use concepts or take directions with them I don’t like due to personal tastes and preferences and “personal emotional beats”, I have my reasons for them just as you all have reasons for yours.

I am making these AU stories, which will eventually be revamped into original stories because looking back on them, their worlds, characters, concepts, ships I wanted, and other ideas all could have been in stories I believe are worth telling and I was disappointed and frustrated that they weren’t. That’s it.

Yeah, it may also be due to subjective and personal feelings, at least so I’ve been told, but I try to integrate that in a meaningful way. Once again, I have my reasons for them as you all do for yours.

“But isn’t this crossover and multiverse stuff, especially if your including Narnia and your religion kinda cringe?”

It’s mostly because helps organize my stories and gives a stable foundation when reimagining these stories, notably the magical nature of each world such as the nature of Remnant(Aura, Semblance, Faunus), Geass, Blue(BlazeBlue), Bionicle mysticism, and so-on and so-forth as different configurations of Deep Magic

I’m also utilizing medieval cosmology as Lewis did to explain the multiverse by organizing with every universe being a “Sphere” and our world, blended with the Fate Type Moon universe for practical purposes, being “The Firstborn Sphere” and the outermost sphere being Heaven or some had called “Aslan’s Country” or as its called in this Multiverse “The Great Empire” which also can be applied to the multiverse itself aka The Great Cosmic Sphere. and Hell or also known as “Tash’s Country” or “The Netherworld” exists completely outside of the multiverse 

As well using the Biblical Story of Genesis as a basis especially with Adam and Eve’s connection to many sentient species of the Multiverse.

Now personally when it comes to my faith, I can live with either creationism or theistic evolution, just anything besides outright materialism.

All of this just helps tie everything together...

And like I said, all in due time, these will be made into original stories for my original universe.

I can see why people think using my religion and Narnia is cringe due to the creatively bankrupt Pureflix movies are all feel-good with no substance written by mostly I like to call "Joel Olsteens" rather than the works of martyrs and church fathers, or the esteemed medievalist CS Lewis and his friend JRR Tolkien, a hardened veteran who's family and his own life was nurtured by a serious but still merry understanding of the faith.

And I'm not saying I'm on par with these guys, but I feel like if I take cue from them, I can be sincere in my work.

So I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer, which will most likely be put on AO3 and FanFiction.Net, and who knows, I might get a few artists to commission to redesign some characters or illustrate some scenes if anyone is up for it.

I hate abortion. It’s wrong, demonic  and it’s nothing more than an excuse for murdering babies and normalizing child sacrifice. I’m not against women’s rights, I’m against child murder.

If a women can’t take responsible they should keep their legs close. If a women can’t raise a child they should give it up for adoption. If a women a victim of rape give that baby a chance to live, it’s not the baby’s fault that baby is innocent. “My body my choice” It’s not your body that you decided to choose, It’s the baby’s body and you have decided it’s life is not worth living. “But life begins at birth” Life begins at conception.

If we decide as a society that babies in the womb are not worth saving what do you think will happen next? Kill babies when their out of the womb? kill children only a few months old? Kill children and teenagers because they are a nuisance? Kill the Elderly? Kill the disabled? Let people kill themselves freely because it’s their choice and that we shouldn’t help them get better? Kill people who have different viewpoints and opinions?

Answer me this. Where does this end? How far will we go? Is it ok to accept madness as our reality and just dismiss it as a person’s personal choice? No.

Human life is sacred and it is a gift and it should be treasured and protected. No matter the age, gender or color. God made people for a reason. He created babies for a reason. There is a new soul for every conception and with that soul there is life. We shouldn’t throw that away because we want to preserved our own prosperity and our own selfish desires. Everyone deserves the right to live.

I have poured my soul into this piece because I am upset with the injustice that is happening across the world. I do not expect pro choices to change their minds, if they are fully confident and fully trusting in their ideals then let there be no human argument against them. Instead pray for them.  But I will leave you here with three bible verses from the King James Version.

1. "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light an light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah Chapter 5 v.20

2. “For you created me inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm Chapter 139 v.13 and 14

3. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations” Jeremiah Chapter 1 v.5

The Theology of Wellness

Rooted in a theological perspective, the theology of wellness ...

In the intricate tapestry of human existence, the pursuit of wellness is often viewed through the lens of physical health alone.  However, a profound and holistic understanding of wellness extends beyond the confines of the body, delving into the realms of the spiritual, emotional, and mental dimensions.  Rooted in a theological perspective, the theology of wellness weaves together the sacred…

The Inspiration

Hello and welcome to my little space!

It has been roughly five years now since I first had the impression on my heart to start a blog. The message I perceived (which I know without a shadow of doubt is from the Lord) is to begin something which would end up in a ministry.

Desiring Jesus is one of such sites that I always look up to. It is more than just a site. It has grown into a full blown online ministry with millions of individuals who have benefited immensely from the sound counselling and great teaching, being a source of hope and inspiration to many with the aid of thoughtful Christian volunteers who teach and dissect the Word of truth.

Striving to impart the world, far and near with the Gospel of Truth through the power internet is my goal.

That men and women would awaken to the callings and ordinations, that men would live in perpetual commitment into the Lord!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share the wonderful testimony to you my friends.

Chapter 1

HIS PRESENCE

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

One of the most inevitable things about time is it changes and parallelly it does with our thinking too. Apparently, a string of events and a wide range of emotions has radically changed my views about struggle. And for me, my life was not pleasant but I had to face the reality by enduring it.

I just graduated from a college and was trying hard to apply for a job. There were many dreams which I had for me. Life kept getting harder. All my friends began to be busy with their own stuff. At that point I decided to go for a dream in which probably I might not get succeed. I decided to take language course while looking for a better job.

In the past, I have been through a lot of things and one of the most heart breaking thing was I lost my father. The most admiring thing about my dad was he never gave up no matter what the circumstances were. Whenever my beloved dad faced any rejection or struggles he received grace from God through prayer. Even today whenever I find myself in an unpleasant situations or scaling up daunting challenges, I encourage myself by remembering my dad who never gave up.

In 2007, when I was 14, we celebrated Christmas in a small town and for me it became the city of sadness because I have to accept the fact that my dad passed away. It was an unexpected devastating moment of my life. It was going to dramatically change the course of my life and the people closest to me.

The thing I miss the most about my dad is right after the school I used to go to his office and use to wait until we go home together. It obviously bothered my mom because I use to miss my homework due to staying with dad long at his office. While in all this my father would get happy seeing me at his place. I use to help him in his office by messing up everything, by writing on papers and indulged myself in things which I considered or felt right to do it. And on the way back to home, we use stop by our favorite food corner to grab my favorite meal.

Life was never been the same after my dad went to be with Lord in Heaven. It tore me up from inside. Everything about my life abruptly changed. It made me feel like my world came crushing down into chaos. We have to move from one city to another to continue living. I was with my mother and sister (who was 7 years old). During this time I got the result of my first intermediate school graduation exam. Me and my friends were been excited to choose the senior high school. But because of the financial condition my mother suggested me not to choose an expensive school which she couldn’t be able to afford. We lived in a small rented hose and mom has to sell snack for our daily expenses. I could do nothing and often found myself missing my dad terribly in cascading tears. I had to deal with my own struggles with the escalating time.

I happily approached my mom to convey that I was accepted in the best high school in our city. But she ignored and said, “I know the school is very good for you, but the fee required is expensive for me”. Her words lingered in me with millions of other questions running over my mind. I started thinking of taking another school.

However, I was encouraged by a friend of mine to entire the expensive school. After registering every student is require to pay fees for the first semester. I kept quiet, sat for a moment and was trying to figure out why am I here? Who will be my provider for the money? Even though I don’t pray often but I was quite sure I will receive the mercy from the father in heaven.

Once again I received God’s grace and help when all the doors were closed. I started to discipline myself to pray and read the Bible every afternoon in my room. School activities began and students were required to stay in the dormitory. I was happy because I could enjoy the delicious food not like at home which was sober. Besides that, there were friends who loved me sincerely.

Sometimes I use to feel inferior because I could see other friends can call their parents and ask for anything, whereas I can’t. It saddened me. I didn’t had anyone to share my feelings. Finally I decided to complain to the Father in Heaven. Every day, I use to pour my heart to Him.

I found myself in a new semester. I started getting along with my friends, we use to laugh together and even cry. During the high school I was always called by the teachers for the same reason I haven’t paid the fees. Every time that happened it hurt me badly. I have complained, cried and got angry on God and asked “Why? Why? Why? I don’t like the way my life is and when can I be like others. Where is my Father?” I finished praying went to school and explained to teachers that I can’t pay the fees and asked a bit more time to pay my fees and requested them to allow me to take part in the exam.

I was allowed to attend the exam and to my surprise a friend of mine approached me and said, “I have a little pocket money which you can use to pay your fees so that you may continue with your exam”. I was so stunned and speechless, cried while receiving the money. Whenever a similar situation came again, it did not occur to my mind to call mom or anyone to cry.

I always prayed and hoped that Father God will help me. Through all the ways He helped me. He showed His Love. I began to bravely call Him my Father, my provider. He refreshes my soul, which brings me into tender love. Even though I faced financial struggles but I never gave up on prayer. I shared all my feelings to my Father in Heaven without caring whether he will answer it or not.

Chapter 2

CHOSEN by FATHER

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Now I was ready to entire the university. Students were enrolling themselves in the top universities in the Indonesia and aboard. I also thought about it, but the mere thought of who is going to take responsibility of my tuition fees use to bother me. My marks were not good enough. I finally decided to continue my education in Jakarta. As I was been packing to leave, and my mother said, “It’s better to go to college here because who will help you in Jakarta”. My answer was, “Yes! You are right but anyways I am going to Jakarta”. Despite of all the circumstances, I decided not to give up on my situation. I started praying for it without caring whether God will hear it or not.

I arrived in Jakarta with brand new dreams fully trusting in God to start a new life. At the weekend I attended a spiritual event where each participant guided to pray to God to make a way out. I stood in the back row and was been praying, “ God I have no father and you are the only one whom I look up to and the only thing I want from you is I don’t want hear my name being called because I haven’t paid the fees like back in those days of my high school times”.

I was about to embark on a new journey and God was the only person whom I trusted and who have the audacity to deliver me from all of my heartaches. I came back to my room to make preparations for my university. I was absolutely aware of the fact that my mom was not supportive to me to continue my education because of not having enough money. Sitting on the sidelines of life, confused and clouded with uncertainty I was broken. And the worst part was my mom doubted my heart belief.

After a month of getting use to college life much to my shock I met a woman send by Father in Heaven who was willing to pay my fees till I get graduated. It was a pure act of Divine intervention.

My eyes started flooding with tears. All I wanted to do was to slow down my tears back and racing heart. But I couldn’t hold back my tears as it was hard to take her words seriously. I began to work hard in my studies. I was able to finish all of my assignments. And the best thing was I was never been late to pay my semester fees. The greatest truth is my Father in Heaven who is provider prepared everything for me.

The presence of my Heavenly Father removed all my grief. I had cried in nights drifting through hopelessness. I use to call him even though I couldn’t see light at the end of the tunnel until his compassion came through a woman who was willing to take full responsibility of my fees.

Though there were challenges, but with God on my side and since I was been overtaken by His inexplicable grace I could finish my graduation in socio-political science. It was like a dream come true moment with friends taking pictures of each other hugging with eyes swelled up with tears of joy. Needless to say, I could feel my heart hammering in my chest enveloped in happiness it was so surreal. Climbing on the wings of memories all I can say is God’s intentions are so much greater than ours. We can’t even fathom what He has planned for us. Our finite brain can’t comprehend His ways.

We are chosen as children in the Kingdom of Heaven. Children will get facilities from His Father. Jesus will give it to you and me too. No matter what our conditions are; why should you hesitate to go to His presence? Royal facilities will be given when the child begins to speak to His Father. Speak your heart, your bitterness, your lack or poverty and your ignorance thoroughly. Call Him and ask Him to reveal Himself in all your circumstances. Never stop pray even in an increasingly difficult situation until God fills your heart with new hopes because all the glory and thankfulness belongs to Him.

For me prayer is a way to separate myself from the hardships of my life and to see Jesus holding my hand, even in pain, despite the awareness of my limitations. Like I told you before, back my in my college I would chose to call Heavenly Father at any time in every twist and turns, in all my lows and dark moments were I felt cornered, deserted and insulted. He will fulfill all your needs. Do your part by calling Him Father. He is in Heaven and the most incredible thing about Him is you can call Him at any time. He is faithful. He is good. He is full of love. He loves you more than I can ever put on words.

Prayer

Father I am your child. You are my Father lead me to my destiny only for your kingdom purpose.

Hallelujah! Amen!

Chapter 3

CALLING For YOU

“Therefore Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19

My phone beeped with a text from the servant of God congratulating me on graduation. Around the third week down the flip the calendar we met each other in a fellowship. She came, stood next to me and said, “It’s enough! Don’t work for your flesh, this is the time to serve your Father in Heaven”.

This episode of my life made me realize that Father in Heaven used her to navigate the level of my life for the royal facilities that was been kept in store for me. I was in transition period from a child who often asks the father for her basic needs to a child who should do the commandment of the father in heaven.

I started to participate in the community prayer lead by her. Until one day she suggested me to make a spiritual group. I used this opportunity to understand what is God’s purpose in my life? Beside that I also wanted God to answer my prayer in an even more remarkable way.

This was also a transition period for my personality. It dawned on me that it was the time for me to get new blessings of course in a comparable quality to make me humble in order to appropriately enjoy the blessings of Father in Heaven.

I heard God talking to me through a servant of God who said while praying for me, “I am the God who promised. I willing fulfill my purposes”. The words plowed through my heart. It was downright overwhelming, to know that Father still accepted me and was gracious towards me who was always just interested in asking things without thinking of the obligation as His child.

From that moment on I made the decision to complete my assignment as a child who resolved to do the best in every God given responsibility. Whenever I have failed I went back to God to repair and correct myself. And all through the journey He has given the Opportunity to learn and to rectify myself.

In the His Divine purpose he permitted me to come to India with a call from the Father in Heaven as an instrument of blessing.

Prepare yourself to be a leader to fulfill God’s calling in your life. God is never late. His time is always right. Be the light wherever you are. Pray for everyone present in your life. Don’t keep bitterness. Think of good things and be pleasing to Father in Heaven. You are chosen to

MISSIONS FOR THE NATIONS

be a blessing to the nation. Don’t let pain, bitterness or fear block God’s purpose for your life. The Lord will prepare you as leaders to proclaim the truth.

Be humble like Father in Heaven. Pray to Him in all the circumstances of your life. Let our lives always please the heart of the Almighty God. So, I really would encourage you my brothers and Sisters God’s Love will fully prepare you to be a leader for the nations
