The Passage Lessons; 1-2-3-4-5-6

(every paragraph is a chapter!)

Sentinekka is in the Isle of Dawn at night with some of her friends, while Ojtaro is training in the Prophecy Trials (he must do that while the others deal with the Passage). There are many other kids around, but the Passage students aren't there. The Guide calls every child, and explains them that they need to find the students, which escaped from the lessons and hid in the Isle. Four groups need to place Light sources in the realm, while another group will do the researches. Sentinekka ends up in a group of kids she doesn't know, and they need to do the research. After the other sky kids have done their little quest of the Light sources, she and her group (that also contains a kid called Phan, bit she's not important for the story) find find the students and all the kids meet up at the Passage Stone.

Here, the Guide raises the mask of a bear, and it ends up on the stone. The first lesson is completed, so the Passage students and the Guide introduce themselves a bit for the sky kids. And, while they do that, Ojtaro also reaches them, and he introduces himself to the strangers as a sibling of the students, except for the Outcast. He's back from his first time in the Trials.

After two weeks, Sentinekka is updating her diary in the Isle of Dawn. The sun is setting, and the second lesson will soon begin. She updates her diary, she writes about the first Passage lesson and about Ojtaro's arrivals after his first time in the Prophecy Cave. He says it's monotone, and that the Prophets call him "Prince", nickname that he doesn't like. He's like to be respected for an action, not for a title. And she writes the things he said in her diary, so he kinda finds it weird and asks her about it. But she's convinced that it's cool and that his sentences deserve to be in the diary, so he accepts. Before he goes away to the Cave of Prophecies, he asks her if she'll wait for him outside the Cave when her lesson is done, and she replies that she'll be "waitin' in patience for him, daaaaah" (tell me you understood the citation and that she sang Runaway in that scene). They'll meet after their lessons and trials.

The third lesson was Sentinekka's favorite one, actually! That's what she thinks. She and the other kids have been in the Prairie Caves, and the Passage had as "protagonist" Horand. People sometimes need to ask for help. She and the others had to chase a lot of masks of boars before they dissolved, and the Passage students even sang an old song that they call the "Passage Anthem". Leilah played her ocarina, which has got the shape of a manta. And Ojtaro, who was challenging the Earth Trial when Sentinekka was doing the third lesson, recovered from his little sickness that the Water Trial had caused him (he recovered in the two weeks before the Earth Trial).

Two days after the Passage of Assistance, Sentinekka and Ojtaro are talking in the Ice Rink of the Valley. He'd love to frequent the lessons with her, but the Prophets couldn't let him go. But, at least, he's trying to make them be used to calling him by his normal name. Sentinekka has at this point began to see Ojtaro as a really cool figure. She always did, but that thought of hers is becoming bigger. She asks him about his next Trial, and it's air. Ojtaro has been lucky with the first one because of the Prophet of Water's spells, which saved him from falling too much on the ice (remember, for his nightmare he doesn't know how to ice-skate), but now he has to learn how to do it for the Air Trial. She reaches the ice and he tries to rebel. He's scared of ice, but he gives up. And trusts her.

BRIEF HIATUS ALERT and HUGE WARNING TO ARTISTS

Please read for your own sake

So I have received word that Tumblr will be partnering with Midjourney. Probably to utilize our art for it's shit machine, awesome.

As I am in Tokyo and have no access to a computer, uploads on Tumblr will be briefly halted, (uploads on webtoon are still up and will continue all month!) until I get the chance to nightshade and glaze all my pages for protection.

This is absolutely batshit insane that I and other artists cannot just upload our art to the internet safely anymore. It just insulting.

But I'm sick of feeling sad about it so fuck em. Just make sure you glaze and nightshade your artwork! Even if your small and have zero followers DO IT. Your art and style needs to be preserved and the glazed artwork that gets fed to shitty AI will severely fuck up their algorithm.

Let them cannibalize themselves. Let them destroy themselves.

This is NOT the future of art. It never will be. Grit your teeth and outlast the bastards, we have NO room for desperation anymore. Fight fucking back.

Most important, spread the word. Doesn't have to be this post you reblog. Make your own, tag a shitton of artist communities, tag your favorite artist, just don't let anyone get blindsided by this.

It's a scary thought that he doesn't think will ever go away and if there's the possibility of that happening, of him becoming the disgusting monster that his father was, or is, then maybe the world is better off without him, regardless of what PJ's dad, his mum's new husband, has to say.

The Things Your Heart May Well Regret

T EVENTUAL M | WIP | NOT A FIX IT | READ IT NOW ON AO3

The Phantom of the Opera meets Barbie in Princess and the Pauper in a dazzling sequel about finding ones true self, friendship, overcoming obstacles & mistakes and learning to live. Staring a deceitful thief cursed with a grotesque appearance, a young aristocratic lady on the verge of getting married and other enchanting characters they’ll meet on their way, as well as faces both familiar and new.

“When you spend the majority of your existence in a heart-shaped box, any kind of life is welcome once you are given the chance to get out of it.”

The Opera Ghost is dead.

Eighteen years later, someone else hides in the catacombs of the Palais Garnier. Evangeline has been despised and hunted down her whole life for a crime she never committed: being born with a grotesque appearance. Raised by a band of thieves and damned to fulfil a lifelong debt to the ‘family’ that raised her: to be their living gun.

Colette ‘Lotte’ de Chagny might seem to have the most perfect life one girl could ask for: an adoring mother, a father that spoils her to the core, a place assured in the Parisian society. But deep down, the truth is clear as daylight: that she’ll never truly find her place among the other aristocrats.

Lotte and Evangeline are nothing alike: a blooming rose, the jewel of a respectable family, and a thief, a criminal whose hands will never be cleaned of innocent blood.

Their fates were never supposed to collide, but the two of them somehow did.

This might be a bit annoying y'all but just a reminder its on ao3, :D

Ik it's unfinished but comments and Kudos motivate me to keep going y'all.

Basically Flint Hatcherfield moves to Paris and buys the burnt remains of the Opera Garnier with plans to renovate. To leave behind a dark past is never easy. But when a certain heartbroken opera ghost gets disturbed that makes everything harder! Will romance perhaps blossom or are they both too messy for that to happen?

I promise I won't make many posts about this!

Updates on Secret Origins

To keep things from getting too cluttered, I decided separating the Origins universe from Mystery Kids might work better in the long run; if anyone wants to follow me on @secret-origins-crossover then please feel free to!

This is mostly going into a quick, not too in depth version of what to expect for Secret Origins and the main arcs within it! To briefly explain, it is a joint crossover between Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, Danny Phantom, American Dragon: Jake Long, and Miraculous Ladybug. The Secret Origins arc is meant to be a five-part prequel of how the characters met, and will expand unto a main series with more shenanigans.

Arc Overview

[UNTITLED] - Part 1 of 5: An unexpected family vacation leads to Danny and the rest of the Fentons spending a week in Paris, France; things take a sudden turn when he begins realizing there are more heroes than he thoughts- now teaming up with Ladybug and Chat Noir, Danny is likely in over his head (though that absolutely will not stop him from discovering something much bigger is happening.

[DETAILS PENDING] Parts 2-5: These will focus on the main character introductions, with part five being the final installation- which pans into the second arc.

Emilio F. Baku, 26, Aries

+ character introduction

Emilio (Frank) Baku had a long, troubled, and confusing past that left him with a destiny that he didn't have a choice in. Tore away from his family, his life, to move to a dead town in Texas to wait for a girl who didn’t even know he was waiting. He was told too young, too soon, but the circumstances changed around him drastically and it had to be done. It left him bitter for years.

Named after his adoptive father, Franklin, and his biological father, Emilio Baku (sr.), he grew up in Chalk Mountain, Texas with his adoptive mother, Maude. He was originally from Korea, but for reasons that were long unknown, he was seemingly randomly shipped off to this odd town with odd people. Eventually it came clear to him though, that they were all just like him.

However, coming to the small town of Chalk Mountain, he was given a job -- his life's purpose; and he was going to fulfill it. If there was one thing about Emilio, he was going to do the damn thing. He couldn't wait to finally meet the person that would ultimately lead to saving the entire Evolved race…hopefully.

Of course, that's only if she takes the news well, he thought. But how bad could it possibly be?
