Writefag's corner: Shadow Destiny

Originally I wanted to release this after 9 years part 3 because it plays a part in it, I decided to give you guys a little treat to pass the time. This is Shadow Destiny, a Bionicle fanfiction I wrote in seventh grade because I was hoplessly obsessed with Bionicle. I'm laughing my ass off reading back over it, so much so I'm tempted to do a bit of a live read on discord and have a good time! I'll update you guys if I decide to do that! Without further ado lets go down the rabbit hole!

One year on the blog: looking back and looking forward!

Man, I can't believe its been over a year since the blog started. It's been interesting, I must say. I never dreamed of reaching so many people in such a relatively short time-span, and the response to this has been overwhelmingly positive. I just want to say thank you to you all again, it really means a ton that you guys support me the way you do.

Now to some statistics. Last year we had approximate 10,402 views on the blog. For a small start-up blog, that's incredible! Our least viewed month was August 2017 with only 252 views, and our most viewed is November 2017 with a whopping 2,792! That's pretty great. My goal for 2018 is 15,000 views, let's see if we can do it (and if not I'll just refresh the page 15,000 times)!

The next item on the agenda is projects. In 2017 I experimented with some streaming, though due to my dorm's poor internet connection and reliability issues, I'm going to have to put those on hold unfortunately. Until I return home for the summer, there will likely not be any streams. 

The biggest ongoing project with the blog is, of course as you all know, 9 years a Pokemon. Part three has proven to be quite the undertaking, and for as much as I've gotten done of it, there's still so much more. Writing it also has the added difficulty of emotional baggage: as much as I get into a groove with getting stuff done I have to take a break from it just to save my own sanity. Rest assured, it is coming, slowly and surely.

Now on to some even more exciting stuff: Voice acting! Recently, Y Ddraig and I have been working on a warhammer lore video he's going to put up on his channel soon. I hope to do much more voice acting in the future, and am actively looking for projects to audition for. So, if you like that video (which I'll link here when it's up) and know someone who needs a voice actor, don't forget to mention me to 'em! I'd really appreciate it!

Last, but certainly not least, is my YouTube channel. Recently, I decided to gut it of all my old stuff I put on there from middle school and am currently working on several history themed videos for your guys' amusement. My first video will be called "Memes of World War 2" and will be coming out (hopfully) within the next month. Stay tuned for updates on that! Also, when 9 years part 3 is done, I'll re-release those old cringey videos of yesteryear just for fun and talk a little about how they fit into the story of my middle school life as a whole.

Ninja edit: I also wanted to assure everyone that the podcast is still going to go on, but due to issues with microphones and recording I don't know when. As far as I know, Pika still wants to do it, and I'll probably bring up a couple other people who might be interested (like sandshrew, Jolteon, Flareon, etc.) but I still want the initial one to be just Pika. 

All in all, I love you guys so much, I hope you had a happy new year and are ready to hit the ground running in 2018!

Life Update: December 2017

December was a busy one for me. I finished my finals and headed home. I pretty much worked at the store the entire break, which was ok. I mean, the money was good, but telling people for the tenth time there is no "ground ham" here nor at any "Polish supermarkets" nearby made me want to gouge my own eyes out. But work is work, so I can't complain. As far as school goes, I'm worried as fuck. My GPA wasn't that good this semester, and I'm afraid I might lose my scholarship. I'm pissed as fuck because the two classes I got 2 Ds in I took in high school! Somehow, even with studying, I couldn't pass. Next semester, I think I'll get a tutor.

On the bright side, Pika's letter was unexpected and cute, and I finally finished my voice acting for a guy's video (I'll link it when it's done). I was also discussing maybe changing majors with my parents. Thankfully, they seemed rather supportive, but I'm still on the fence. I've wanted to do geology ever since I was a kid, but I just have a passion for history. Hell, my script for my latest YouTube video about the memes of world war 2 (also link when that's finished) almost done, and that was just for fun! I'm conflicted, but I know I've got to follow my heart.

In slightly more somber news, the Catholic Church associated with the Catholic school I went to as a kid (the one that turned a blind eye to me and my friends) is currently trying to build a new church, for some reason? They claim they wanted more room, but instead of upgrading and expanding the current church, they'd rather ask for FOUR MILLION DOLLARS from their parishioners to build an ungodly exorbitant new curch. Now this is absurd, and I'm not even going to get into how they practically bullied the poor guy who had the property where they're going to build it before them off of his own land! Even more crazy is that this is ON TOP OF a gym they have to rebuild after a hurricane destroyed the old one (in a dramatic twist of irony I might add, as the year prior they spent a stupid amount of money redoing the floor), for which they're asking for separate donations. If I sound mad, it's because I am, especially since my parents are hosting a giant fundraiser for the whole thing, complete with harassing people on social media! It makes me even more angry knowing that the church still refuses to accept there even IS a bullying problem, let alone try and fix it. And why should they, after all it's in their best interest not to: the troublesome kids have parents who happen to be the biggest donors. I want to speak out, but I'm so afraid of my parents' backlash. I don't want to lose my college education just because some assholes want a new playground. At the same time, I honestly hoped they fix the issues at that school, but watching them pull the same old bullshit, proving they've learned nothing makes my blood boil. Sometimes, the world sucks.
