pt. 2

[giftideasfromaycaramba]

Ten unforgettable short stories -- written by award-winning authors for young adults -- reflect the stunning diversity of experience among teenagers from many countries who make the United States their new home.

It's hard enough to be a teenager, trying to fit in, trying to get along with your parents, trying to figure out how the world works. Being from a different culture makes everything that much harder.

Fleeing from political violence in Venezuela, Amina and her family have settled in the United States. Sarah, adopted, is desperate to know her Korean birth parents. Maya is adapting just fine to life in the U.S. and wishes her strict Kazakh parents would follow suit. Adrian's new friends have some spooky -- and hilarious -- misconceptions about his Romanian origins. Whether they've transitioned from Mexico to the United States or from Palestine to New Mexico, the characters in this anthology have all ventured far and have faced innumerable challenges.

Like the hundreds of immigrants who arrive on U.S. soil every year, each courageous teenager in FIRST CROSSING is unique.

New Character sheet for Lensey. I had not a lot written for her character but I’ve added may more now. She’s blind but doesn’t let her disability stop her from striving. She’s very blunt and tells it how it is.

Optic Ink AU: Reunited

Okay! I know I updated earlier, but I had to write this down and get it posted.

Guess not writing for a couple weeks, gets your brian pumping with more ideas! I'll take a break this weekend and play games!

To keep himself safe from the pool of ink on the 14th floor Sammy stayed near the elevator. Lensey was patrolling the floor to make sure ‘Bendy’, and other ink creatures or even ‘her’ doesn’t come by.

Sammy then turned around and heard the elevator come up. He didn’t want to be seen by who came by the elevator. He took a small look and saw a figure, a man, holding a Tommy gun.

“What’s he doing?” Sammy whispered. He saw the man pointing a Tommy gun, and had it pointing where Lensey was. Before the figure can shoot, Sammy tackled the guy on the ground. The two we’re in a fight punching and trying to shove the other off.

Sammy finally got on top of the man, but before he can punch him, the man held Sammy’s arm to prevent him from punching. “Sammy! Its me!” The man yelled.

That voice? That face? Sammy remembers who this man was. It was his sheep, but it wasn’t any sheep it was, “Henry.” Sammy whispered. The men got off each other, and for a split second the men we’re hugging.

“Oh my gosh! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you!” Sammy cheered.

“Yeah, well you tried to sacrifice me.” Henry mentioned.

Sammy let go for Henry and gave a nervous smile. Sorry.” He chuckled. Henry gave a smirk, but ruffled Sammy’s hair.

“So what happened to you?” Henry asked.

“Me?” The former music director replied. Sammy thought about what happened to him, but it was blurry like the ink around them. “I don’t know?”

Henry sighed. He hoped to get an answer about what’s going on in the studio, but looks like Sammy is not in on the luck either.

As the two-talked, Lensey, was right behind Sammy and Henry his voice sounded low and static like he was ready to attack. Henry tensed up, and freeze seeing Lensey.

Sammy turned around and gasped. “Lensey NO!” Sammy yelled, getting between him and Henry. Lensey stopped and looked at the young music director. “Lensey, this is Henry. He’s my friend.” Sammy explained.

The Projectionist went to Henry and scanned him top to bottom. Lensey realized Henry looked familiar to him, but he couldn’t talk, so asking a question to him was out of the question. Lensey nodded and got up, and went to Sammy. The later responded by sighing in relief that his new friend won’t hurt his old friend.

“Henry, what are you doing here? After 30 years?” Sammy asked.

Henry then explained he got a letter from Joey Drew, telling him to meet him back at the studio. When he did, he realized that everything in the studio was strange, from ‘Bendy’ scaring him a couple times, to Sammy trying to sacrifice him, which the later apologized for, and finally meeting up with Boris.

Lensey and Sammy looked at each other and saw the cartoon wolf standing there and giving then a wave. The two wave back awkwardly seeing there was more wacky stuff in the studio then they thought.

“But that’s not all.” Henry continued. “I saw ‘Alice’, but it wasn’t-“

“Her.” Sammy replied.

“Yeah. How did you know?” Henry asked.

Sammy shrugged. “I may not have a clear memory of who she was, but I do know its someone from the studio.” Henry sighed knowing more and more of their co-workers have fallen into to Joey’s plans.

“So now I have to do ‘Alice’s’ bidding here, by finding ink hearts.” Henry explained. Lensey made a high screech and walked downstairs.

“Lensey, where are you going?!” Sammy asked.

Henry went downstairs to follow The Projectionist and looked back up at Sammy. “You coming?” He asked.

Sammy shook his head. “Want me to sacrifice you again?” He replied. Henry stood there, realizing what his co-worker meant. Henry followed Lensey as Sammy stayed behind waiting on the two. Then, Sammy heard a female voice though the intercom.

“Looks like you reach the end of our to do list.” A sinister female voice said.

“That voice.” Sammy whispered. He noticed this Alice voice sounded like someone he knew. Before Sammy could think of whom that voice was, Henry went up the elevator. “Henry wait!” Sammy called out seeing the former animator leaving.

“I’m sorry Sammy, I have to do this for ‘Alice.” We’re Henry’s last words before heading up the elevator.

“Henry! Henry!” Sammy called out.

Henry slowly opened his eye and saw Sammy and Lensey right in front of him. All Henry remembered was ‘Alice’ commanding him to bring back Boris, the elevator crashing and ‘Alice’ taking Boris away. He was too dizzy to call out for Boris, but groaned and got up. “Boris.” He whispered.

Sammy and Lensey looked at each other once more, and back at Henry. “Boris. ‘Alice’ took him.” He whispered. “I gotta, get him back.” He groaned.

“Henry no.” Sammy said holding his injured co-worker. “You can’t do this alone, not without us.” Henry looked up at Sammy who gave him a small smile, same with Lensey. Henry smiled and nodded back.

“Your right. You two want to help me out, and all three of us will get out of this studio.” Henry beamed. The three looked at each other and went off. Together.

Review: Ties That Bind, Ties That Break

Synopsis:

Third Sister in the Tao family, Ailin has watched her two older sisters go through the painful process of having their feet bound. In China in 1911, all the women of good families follow this ancient tradition. But Ailin loves to run away from her governess and play games with her male cousins. Knowing she will never run again once her feet are bound, Ailin rebels and refuses to follow this torturous tradition.

As a result, however, the family of her intended husband breaks their marriage agreement. And as she enters adolescence, Ailin finds that her family is no longer willing to support her. Chinese society leaves few options for a single woman of good family, but with a bold conviction and an indomitable spirit, Ailin is determined to forge her own destiny. Her story is a tribute to all those women whose courage created new options for the generations who came after them.

Plot:

Ailin, five years old, was ready for her engagement. Ailin was the youngest, with First Sister already married, Second Sister on the countdown, Ailin was Miss. Three, who ran around the yard, made fun of her slow cousins and wanted to know about the world. Her engagement was to seven-year-old Hanwei, with his high eyebrows who, even after just meeting her, tried to teach Ailin English. There was one problem. Mrs. Lin, an old family friend, would not let her son marry a girl with unbound feet. Wearing bounds of cloth, the girls of China must bend all their toes (except their big one) under their foot so that they can have tiny feet for those pointy shoes. After seeing the Second Sister stub of a food, Ailin knew she would never bind her feet. Fighting against her mother, it was her father who said she did not have to bind her feet, and that he knows the consequences even if Ailin does not. With the engagement broken off, Ailin finds her life to begin to change as her family sees her as useless with no husband in sight, and feet too big to be useful.

Thoughts:

What an astonishing novel. Short, with eleven chapters and 150 pages, this brings us through Ailin's life from five to nineteen. The history of women's binding feet in western culture has never been disused. Women have done a lot of the pain process in the past to make themselves look beautiful: from corsets, bigger lips, longer necks, why should tiny feet be any different. Lensey Namioka talks in the back of the book about the history of binding feet, how it stopped in the 1930s, but some isolated places were still binding feet of their girls in the 1940s. The character Namioka decided to tell was Ailin, a bright girl who at age five wanted to break this custom. Her enthusiasm to learn about the world made you want the world for this child. Besides Ailin, the other best characters were Second Sister and her father. The second Sister gave Ailin the raw truth of what bound feet look like, knowing that Ailin would never go for it, and in a way made Ailin, even more, determine not to have her feet bound. Her father was a modern Chinese man, who saw that China was changing and let his youngest go with her big feet and provided the education she desperately needed. Where Namioka's writing was boring in parts, the story is so short that the plot keeps a steady pace throughout the story. Ailin is a girl who defies her cultural traditions, and with her big feet and all, set out to change the world and provide herself a better life.

Optic Ink AU! Beginnings

So I got into a new AU called Optic Ink AU. Its a new AU where Sammy survives Bendy's ordeal and joins up with The Projectionest/Norman Polk whom he calls Lensey!

Optic Ink Au belongs to @metamatronic

“Ugh.” A voice groaned opening his eyes to see where he was. “W-where am I?” The man, known as Sammy Lawrence got up and looked around. He didn’t know what happened to him, but he remembered seeing Bendy and who were his lord and savior, destroying him. Sammy didn’t know if all that was a dream or was he dead and in heaven.

Sammy rubbed his head and realized he didn’t feel ink anymore. He felt his skin, something he hasn’t felt in a long time. “I-I’m me again!” Sammy cheered. He wanted to see for himself if this was true. It was hard to find a mirror a puddle of water anywhere in this inky studio!

Once he found a mirror in one of the rooms he smiled and saw his features will still the same. His fluffy blonde hair his eyes and his skin were back to normal.

But one thing remained. How was he going to get out?

“Great! I’m not trapped in my inky prison, but now trapped in this hell hole of a studio.” Sammy mumbled. He decided to look for an exit so he can see the outside world, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Sammy walked around the studio, he hoped with his knowledge walking around placing Bendy cutouts in the studio he can use that as his trail to lead him back to the exit. After making it around the studio he spotted the elevator, and decided to go in.

“Let’s see here.” Sammy thought looking at the buttons, he clicked one button, and soon the elevator closed and took Sammy to the darkest level of the studio. Once the elevator opened he walked in and saw the whole room filled with ink. “Oh shit.” Sammy whispered.

Sammy saw the ink flooded all over the room, he gulped afraid stepping into the ink and becoming locked in to his inky prison once again. He looked around the area and saw the safest place was a box with a tape recorder far away from the staircase.

Standing there, he heard the swishing of ink like there was someone walking in the ink. Sammy turned around and saw a figure coming through the corner. “H-Hello!” Sammy called out.

The figure didn’t stop and kept moving. “Can you help me?” Sammy asked. The figure kept on walking, using a light looking for the voice. Once the light blinded Sammy, the figure made a screech that made Sammy flinch.

Sammy looked up and gasped seeing the figure, but his head was a projection. “Oh god.” He whispered. “What happened to you?”

The projectionist looked at Sammy up and down with his light, like he was scanning him or something. Sammy shivered in fear. The former music director opened his eyes and saw the projectionist stare at him.

“P-Please. D-don’t hurt me.” Sammy whimpered using his hands as defense.

The projectionist stared at him and placed his hand on Sammy’s forehead. Sammy shivered and pushed the hand away, once he felt the ink.

“Don’t touch me either!” Sammy yelled, when he opened his eyes he saw no ink what so ever on his head. Sammy sighed in relief.

The projectionist just rolled his lens and made a low wiring noise. Sammy nervously chuckled and stood up facing the creature.

“So.” Sammy started in an awkward tone. “Who are you? What happened to you?” He asked. The Projectionist tried to speak, but all it sounded like was a wiring, screechy noise. “Guess you can’t talk, huh?” Sammy asked, not understanding the mysterious projectionist.

The Projectionist nodded. Sammy thought what to call the Projectionist then he felt a light bulb blink in his mind.

“Well since I don’t know your name. I’m going to call you, Lensey!” Sammy beamed with a smile. Lensey raised a lens when he heard his new name. “It’s easier for me to call you, and it’s cute.” Lensey made a loud whirring noise, which sounded like a growl.

“Okay. Okay. Sorry.” Sammy begged shielding himself. Lensey loosen and the two just stood there, awkwardly.
