Jacksepticeye's Guardian Ep2

Here's episode 2! Enjoy the episode!

CasideXDonald Excerpt

Caiside wrapped his arms around Donald. Donald let out a squeak of surprise. “You seem stressed.” Caiside whispered softly into Donald’s shoulder.

“I’m fine.” Donald replied. He wasn’t sure why, but Caiside had a personal space problem. What he couldn’t figure out was why it occurred when no one else was around! It seemed the moment no one was around, Caiside would just gravitate to Donald’s personal space and just invade it.

Caiside squinted his eyes at Donald. He knew a lie when he heard it. Donald was stressed about something. He nestled into the crook of his shoulder. Donald lifted his shoulders some, but Caiside still stayed in the crook of his shoulder. “You’re stressed.”

Donald flung his head back and sighed in defeat. “I’ll be fine. It’s not like stress kills people.”

Caiside shook his head. Sure stress couldn’t kill a normal person, but it still wasn’t a good thing to have. Caiside began pulling Donald along with him.

“Where are you taking me?” Donald muttered as he allowed Caiside to drag him down the hallway.

“Just come on.” Caiside stated.

Donald sighed.

Caiside pushed Donald into his favorite recliner. Caiside pulled the lever and Donald gasped as the back fell back and his legs were lifted.

“Are you alright?” Caiside turned around from the book case.

“How’d you get all the way over there so fast?” Donald mumbled.

Caiside took his response as fine and continued skimming the spines of the books. He plucked one off and waltzed back over to Donald. He put the book in Donald’s hands and stood expectantly.

“What?” Donald arched an eyebrow.

Caiside tapped the cover of the book patiently.

Donald looked at the book. It was the book of mythical creatures he had been reading. He had been trying to pin down what kind of creature Caiside was. Donald sighed. He must be getting impatient. Donald cracked the book opened and began reading. He was hoping that the creature Caiside was would just pop out at him.

Donald flinched as he felt hands on his shoulders. He turned around to glare up at Caiside. “What are you doing?” he hissed.

“Rubbing your shoulders.” Caiside answered with a bored expression. “You’re stressed out.”

“So why do you have to rub my shoulders?” Donald shouted turning red.

Krissie: Been a while since I've worked on this series, so I'm getting back in the game with this. I'm going to finish these guys' story first before going to Genie and Rosabella to finish their story. 

Jacksepticeye's Guardian Ep1

This is a let's play made by AquariaSC, who I follow on DeviantArt. I love her art and was excited to play a game she made. I like the game. There are a few bugs, but it's her first game, and it's a lot better then some games I have seen.
You can get the game here: Play the game here: http://gamejolt.com/games/jacksepticeye-s-guardian-jacksepticeye-fan-game/83373

Woke up to a surprise this morning

So I began watching a news channel called The Young Turks on YouTube. And this morning, I watched this video: 

Basically two guys, 18 and 27, brought GUNS, like actual guns, to a pokemon match in Boston. This fact just blew my mind. I found another article about it. It has a video of actual attendants talking. You can read/watch it here:
My problem is, it's Pokemon. It's a game. This is something that is aimed towards children that many of us young adults grew up with. I remember watching Pokemon as a small child and at 21, I still have fond memories of it. This was supposed to be a convention where a bunch of fans got together and played some games and just have fun. 
There's a major problem if people are threatening to shoot up a convention and it's very concerning to me.
Like I get it, we're America. Guns and shootings happen all the time here. And over the stupidest of shit. But that's the problem. Parents shouldn't have to worry about someone coming into their child's school and taking their life. I shouldn't have an innate fear of being large crowded rooms where the doors could lock you inside (Gyms, cafeterias, movie theaters) because I have a strange paranoia fear of shootings happening because I watch a few too many crime documentaries and hear about a few too many shootings. Like I've felt uncomfortable in movie theaters since 2006/2007 when I started to become aware of all the shootings that happen.
But to hear and find out about Pokemon. That's frightening. It's a convention. The one place I thought that would be untouched by crazy gun toting people. It really turns a lot of things on their heads for me. 

Super Mario World Ep1

My friend, Dymond, has joined me once again to play video games! This time we're playing Mario.

Weather Girl Ep2

Animatic: Weather Girl Ep.2

Sunny transforms. She kisses the locket and it glows as it swirls around her. Sunny’s poem plays in the background.

“This is so cool!” Sunny squeals as she looks at her new costume. “Now what do I do?” She looked0 up at Benjie.

“Well, normally you don’t transform until danger presents itself.” Benjie stated.

“Awe…” Sunny pouted. “Now what?”

“We wait and stop the evil when it occurs,” Benjie states.

Sunny grabs her wagon. “That’s a bit boring. I might as well go home and eat a snack. You coming with me, Benjie?”

“Of course!” Benjie follows her. “As your guardian fairy, I will travel with you everywhere.”

“That’s cool.” Sunny shrugged.

They leave the forest. Fade out to black.

In an old, dirty loft by the shipyard/ocean. A red and gold butterfly flitters in the window.

“The Helios locket has awaken.” The butterfly states.

“The what?” Storm loos up from her comic book.

“The Helios locket.”

“Is that another monster?” Storm grabs her spiked bracelet off the night stand.

“No. The Helios locket is our ally. With the user having the same purpose as you Storm, the bearer of the Lux bracelet.”

Storm stares down at her bracelet. “A new ally, huh?” She smiles. “Let’s find them in the morning then.” She tossed her comic book on the stand before curly up in the blankets. “Night Zhao.”

“Wan’an Storm.” Zhao taps the lamp off.

Writing Tips #1

Hey Internet!

I’m KrissieDeathy. And this. This is going to be a post about Formatting.

Yeah, I know. Strange topic right?

Well there’s a purpose for it. I’m mainly making this to help out my fellow writers on the internet who haven’t been taught how to format or grasp it.

I actually used to think that formatting stories was so simple. But it’s not. I learned this year in college that many of my peers didn’t know how to write and format dialogue. So I figured I would give some Tips for those who haven’t been taught in school and/or don’t know.

Well let’s start off with the basics of basic.

What are you writing?

Well that doesn’t matter. This tips are to help you with original writing as well as fanfics.

What are your works going to be published on?

So where are you putting your awesome work up for display? I’m mainly going to focus on DeviantArt and Fanfiction.net because those are the two places I feel need the most help with formatting. No offense guys, but you’re my number 1 source for fanfiction.

But sadly, there have been many a time when I go to read a fanfiction and I just can’t because of formatting errors alone. I try to power through some, but unless it’s short, it rarely happens. So this is mainly catered to fix that so we all have more wonderful works to read and enjoy, kay?

Awesome! *insert thumbs up here*

Now let’s begin with some DON’Ts.

Don’t leave your work as a giant block of text. It’s unsightly. This is the main problem many of my friends, myself included, have when we look for fanfictions to read. The writer has left their work as a giant brick of text that you, the reader, must read through. There are now paragraphs, which means no breaks. So you have to pull your eyes through it. And a lot of the time, dialogue is in that jumbled mass of text. It’s crazy right? “Hey Jill,” Bob hollered, “Where are my car keys?” “I don’t know,” Jill replies. “Where was the last place you had them?” “In your hands woman!” Bob stomped his foot. “You took the truck out for a ride to town today, remember?” And it all just continues in this huge brick of text. Forever and ever and ever.

And frankly, I can’t do it anymore. It actually kind of hurts to do that. And it’s sad too. Now I know that this can sometimes happen when uploading your work on Fanfiction or DeviantArt, especially if you’re using that “Insert Text Here” option on the sites.

Frankly, I advise against that. If your work is just a block of text, odds are, no one will read it. I suggest getting a hold of a writing program, such a Word, which is what I’m using. You can also get Open Office, which is basically a knock off free version of word if I understand it correctly. Notepad is the basic writing thing on your computer. It only saves as .txt files, but those files are accepted by Fanfiction so they’re good. There’s also Google Docs, which comes in handy for people. There are probably several others that I don’t know about, but feel free to tell me in the comments.

So how should you break up this giant brick of text?

When there is a change of location. Say your characters are in an office and they’re talking about Bob and how he skipped work to watch Game of Thrones or something. Then you cut to Bob, and he’s not watching Game of Thrones, but is actually having a Disney marathon with 6 year old niece. You would make a new paragraph when you would switch from office to Bob at home.

You also make a new paragraph when you change topics. As I did between this paragraph and the one above it. Or let’s say you’re describing the way someone looks.

For example:

Bob was a stocky guy. Not fat, but not thin either. He was average height. He carried an air about him that said he was a southern boy who had never ventured outside the country a day in his life. His brown hair was rustled by wind and work. His leather jacket was thick, blocking out the cold as he leaned against his truck. His tan skin glowed in the sunlight. A white sign held firmly in his large, rough hands.

The sign stating one thing – Carol Santana

Carol was sure he was going to the stereotypical country boy. She plucked up her heavy suitcase and walked down the stair case. She paused to take a breath at the end of the stair case before plucking up her bag again and walking towards him. She dropped the bag ungraciously at his feet, clad in brown hunting boots.

“So, you’re patrol officer?” Carol joked.

And there you have it. I apparently really like Bob for a name when I make up random stuff. But that’s how it should be separated. Change of topic? Make a new paragraph.

Another thing that seems to get everyone is that when you change speakers, make a new paragraph as well.

For Example:

“Tails!” Sonic called for his little bro. “Where are you?”

Tails’ workshop was huge and the blue hedgehog was sure he had heard something fall down with a loud thud earlier. He looked for anything out of the oridinary or messy. But sadly, he rarely entered the fox’s workspace and workshop was a mess.

“How does he walk around here?” Sonic mused. He cupped his hands around his mouth, “Tails!”

“I’m over here!” Tails called. “I’m fine. The drawer just fell out of the filing cabinet.”

“Thank goodness.” Sonic sighed as he found his little brother. “So what happened?”

“I pulled the drawer out too far.” Tails shrugged.

Doesn’t that make it easier to understand? You, the reader, can clearly figure out who’s talking. When you don’t separate who’s talking in separate paragraphs, it can confuse your audience and turn them away. After all, dialogue makes a story fun. You spent your time and effort writing it, so why not format it properly so your readers can enjoy it!

That’s all I’ve got time for tips today, so I’ll discuss some more tips for in the future.

Bye everybody!
