PaperChild Post 1 (Working title)

 

 

The strangest thing just I happened, I was walking outside and found this small creature. The poor thing looked so weak, and felt bad for her so I decided to take her inside...

Shortly after I took her in, she awoken, she didn't seemed scared of me just confused but at she also looked relieved at the same time. On closer inspection, it looks like she's some type of fairy, I'm not sure which type tho'. (I mean I never seen one with a tail before).

After a few seconds, she start shivering a little, which makes sense it's pretty cold in the house with the A/C on because it gets pretty hot where I live even in september. So, I gave her small cloth to keep her warm.

Even after I gave her the small blanket, I gave her some tea to warm her up even more. She must have really liked it because she partially drunk every last drop.

From my knowledge of fairy-like beings, they really like sweets, so I gave her a small cupcake to munch on. I don't know when the last time she had anything to eat, so I just thought it would be a nice gesture. She really seemed to appreciate it too, she globbed the entire thing pretty quickly.

While I only been taking care of this fairy-like creature for only day, I've gotten quite attached to her. she's really cute, and it seems like she feels the same way too.

It started to getting pretty late and I guess the warmth of the tea and the blanket was getting to her because she looked pretty sleepy and started to doze off.

I found this small box that seemed perfect resting place for her. Since she doesn't seem like she has anywhere be or a home nearby, I guess she'll just stay with me for a while...

(Real talk: I gotta to say I actually had a lot fun making this, not just the making the paperchild but the whole process of making the cut outs setting the scene, making cute edits with pngs I found online, writing a story. I think I could actually make a series of this. At first I didn't want to do this because even the concept of paperchildren used to remind me of my old DA days, and I also thought this would come off weird, creepy, and/or cringy, but I enjoyed it way more that expected to. There are some bits were I forgot to draw the wings and the antennas, but I was just getting used to the design but I got it down packed now. So... yeah I'm actually looking really forward to make more of these post in the near future) 


Comic Update

I'm thinking about starting my other comic Cupcakes and Clubs along side The Girls Of NostoNeo. It's not like I'm getting bored of NostoNeo, I still love it to death. I just missing drawing the characters from C&C. Originally I was going to wait til I finished the first installment of NostoNeo Girls, then I would start on Cupcakes and Club because I thought by then I would already have an audince from NostoNeo that would also been interested in CupCakes and Clubs, but since I don't have much of an audience ( if any) and the rate I'm going with my current comic, C&C probably won't see the light of day until like next year. So might as well start now, I'll be also releasing the pages for NostoNeo since I've got alot done already, and I can't even remember why I wanted to release pages in bulk anyway, so they just kind of been sitting there.

For the publishing day I'm probably going to aim for Friday and at least 2  pages per week or I'll probably just upload whenever I have two pages done since I do work on the comic whenever I can . I haven't drawn any pages for C&C that feel like are presentable, I want to re-draw the pages since I feel like I've grown artstically since then (which was only like two years).

So...yeah look forward to that if you care, I still have ideas for an editoral post, one I have notes for my Google keep and the other idea I got from a YouTube video.

So until next time...

Later days


Jade and Aoi

Aoi and Jade

Jade and Aoi are two other squid OCs I have. Jade and Aoi both have a passion for fashion, and while they don't take the turf wars too serious most of the time (unless new clothes are a part of the deal). Jade's more outgoing than Aoi, Aoi's alot more shy when comes to most subject but she can go on and on about clothes and aesthetics, and she's a big fan of Off The Hook. Jade's fun-loving, but she can be a bit clueless, but she's very savvy when it comes to money. Aoi and Jade are both good friends of Fuschia and Rosie. 

I really like the color I did in this piece, and my lines are starting to get straighter, and my details are getting better , the only thing I would redo is the magazine. I got lazy again..Oof...


Paperchild idea....

 

Okay, I've been thinking about a new series I could add to the blog. 

Back in my DA days, I used to make these little things called paper children. A paper child (children) is basically a cut out of a character in a certain pose and they are set up in a way to look like they are interacting with the real world. Like this:

Hm_paper_children_by_thelaughinglibra 

Paper_children__harley_and_ivy_by_mystiquegrl-d4gzqyw

 

I made paper children because it was the popular thing to do on DA (one of the few times I was a sheep). While look back in cringe and shame now, during the time I was actually enjoying making them. So, thought I might as well start it again since I do have a lot of downtime, and I have miniatures of like food, toys, etc just laying around. This time I want to add a story to it a little because I really like telling stories (if you couldn't already tell),  probably going to sketch up a new character because I like doing that too. But it's not like the story going to have a long paragraph (maybe like the first one will) per post. Each post it's probably going to have like at least one sentence. The storying I'm going for is like the little bits, thumbelina, or Arrietty or "All the little people" episode from Adventure time.

I've always had a interest for stories about small beings like fairies, borrowers, brownies, pixies and all that jazz. I guess because I enjoy the whimsicality of the idea or the fact that I'm pretty small myself at least for my age...

But yeah thats pretty much all I wanted to talk about in this post, I don't really know when I'm going to start but I know it's sometime soon...(but it's not like anyone waiting on the edge of their seat for it)

Anyways, until next time later days

Fushica and Rosie

Fushica n' Rosie smallest

Made on:9/20/2018

Time length: about 3 hours 48 mins.

This is my OC Agent 3 inkling, Fuschia and her new roomate (my version of Agent 8) Rosie just chilling on the rooftop taking a selfie. I tried to go into a lot of details in the clothes, since splatoon does have reference pics for drawing fanart, and I really like how it can out. Admittedly I got lazy with the background, but at least I tried...Oof


Deviantart Daze

   

Animated GIF

    

    So, just recently I wiped my old DA account clean, I was going to keep for prosperity's sake. I was thinking that maybe if I kept it would help me become a better person (somehow) or that I could look back at the DA days fondly, but every time I visited my page it didn't bring fond memories it just brought alot of negative feels. I think it was because when I started DA I really wanted to be a big name on there have my own group, friends, and maybe it even fans.

    Obviously, none of that stuff never happened, looking back on my time on DA I wasn't really enjoying it, it was a period of me trying to get attention for complete strangers. I guess you can say I'm still doing that now, but I have dialed down on it alot, and  I'm beginning to understand how internet fame only has value on the internet and only for a short amount of time too.

    When I got started on DA, Disney Create had just shut down and which I wasn't really sad about I was happy for the most part because I felt like I was being held back there. Disney create only allowed a certain types of art on their website, (ya know because it's Disney) so most of the stuff was just disney fan-art and the "Original" art that was there (at least the popular ones) were done in the PPG style.

    I think that happened mostly because the site was populated by kids and Disney Create's drawing program wasn't as sopficasted as the other drawing programs out there.  At the time, 13 year old me was proud to finally be old enough to post stuff on a "mature" site like DA. (Geez, I really don't know what I was thinking, I was even more native back then too)

When I was Disney Create I didn't really care too much about being noticed, but on DA for some reason I really wanted to be well-known.  I guess with how everyone seemed to have their own group of fans, their own fanclub groups, and DA families, it just seemed more easy and attenable.  Also one my first day on DA I was welcomed by some really nice people, which never happened to me before. I don't know how they found me, I'm pretty sure there's like a newcomers list or something but it felt nice, I felt like I could really make it here.

 So, I posted my first art piece on there and it got a few views and comments from the people, who welcomed me they said they liked my style and that my art was cute. This got me really excited since as I said I never gotten any comments on my art on the internet before, so I started make a few more art pieces, then went to sleep 'til the next morning to see if got any new comments or view. Sadly, I hadn't, and at first I didn't let it get to me, I just thought maybe the more art I make the more people will come to see. So, as I continued to make more art, the more and more it started to get to me when I saw I wasn't getting any view or comments on it.

   I started thinking about what I was doing wrong (now, at the time I didn't really know how to use keywords or tags on DA, me being older I now know that what a lot people use to get their art out there, but I also kind of wanted to start out the "honest" way...I guess you could put it but at the same time I was really impatient so...Oof). I started to browse the site to see what others were posting and how they got people to comment and view their work.

    I started to notice that bunch of others were posting tons of fanart and out of all the other works people would make it would get the most views and comments. Seeing how well it worked out for basically everyone else, I decided I would try my hand at making fan-art. Since, I had a show that I liked at the time and said show was pretty popular on DA at the time. I made fan-art for that show and drew my favorite character. So, when I made the fan art and finally posted (and while I didn't use keywords, I posted the fan art and my other works to groups, in hopes it would get more views, it didn't). It still didn't get as many views as I would like and there weren't any comments on it.

    I went to look back at other fan-works, I couldn't really understand what I did wrong, I posted my fan art in tons groups, and I tried my best, but my stuff still wasn't getting any views. Now, this is where things get dark and bad this is the reason why I now loath the show I used love so much, and the character I used like a lot. As I was looking at other peoples' work I started to realize that it wasn't because I didn't use keywords or didn't post in the right groups that I was getting any views.

   It was because that my art style sucked, the people I was looking at were way more skilled and better than I was making fan-art. I started to think that my art style was too weird and different to make any character look recognizable, I started to compare my art work to others and more and more I did that the less and less confidence I had in my art style and my art skills in general. Deep down inside I knew it was unhealthy for me to compare my art to some else's, but I was somehow able to convince myself that I wasn't comparing, I was seeing what I could improve on by looking at better art.

At time I didn't know, what I was doing would affect me in such a way. There were times I would do this for hours and I would end up getting really upset and mad at myself for not being good enough. (I know this seems really really dumb, but I was young and this was the first time I was posting my art online on popular website like DA)I got to the point where I almost thought about giving up on art all together, and where if I saw any fan-art (or art in general) I couldn't help feel jealous in some sort of way. 

    I knew I shouldn't be feeling this type of way, so I took a break from DA for a while. When I got back on I decided that I was only going to focus on my stories and my original characters, that way I wouldn't feel like I had to compare my work to others because I made these characters myself and I was the only one how knew what they were suppose to look like. This worked for a while, but I still wasn't getting at anything, and at this point I didn't really care about views, but I just wanted comments to see what people were thinking. I didn't get much of those either, the only thing that was getting actual views and comment were my crappy, cringy fanfics that were only read by thirsty fan girls. Those were fun to make at first, and the attention was nice, but after a while it started to get really old. I tried a bunch of other things some of stuff I tried I wouldn't mind going back trying again sometime soon. 

Near the later days of my DA pages, I made a comic with the my favorite character from the show I mention before with some of my OCs, it wasn't anything special and one of the characters I made was an obvious self-insert. I then posted some art I made for a project in econ, which I got an A on. I was going to post my NostoNeo comic on there too, but it wasn't probably going to get any comments or views anyways.

Before I deactivated my account I went through my watching list to see if what they been up to since I've been gone, turns out most of the people I followed that made popular fanart didn't really improve art style wise, they're are looked the same as it didn't when I first it 5 years ago. Some of the people I watched even quit DA like I did  some shut down their pages, or just left them bare and abonabed. One person who made a really popular fan dating sim made threw big fit about how childish the fandom was and DA in general. Looking at my DA watchlist made me realize how much internet fame is useless and doesn't amount to much anything outside of the internet or heck, maybe even outside one site. When I finally deactivated my account I felt a weight lift off of me, all those bad, cringy, frustrating thoughts, and doubts I had about my art skills and my ability as an artist seemed to be less present.

Sure, maybe in another timeline if I approach DA different I would have gotten a fan-base, friends, or even a group, maybe if I would been a little bit more patient I would have gotten all those things, but I'll probably never know. Deviantart maybe a fantastic site for some, but it's just not for me. While I do look back at my time on there with some negative feelings, it was also a time with me experimenting with different types of mediums of art, I'm kind of  glad it happened the way it did, I think my time on there help me become a better person, and help me figure out what I  really wanted to as an artist.

 Oof, sorry if this post was a little bit too personal I just wanting to let these feelings out somewhere, and I guess my blog is the perfect place to do it. Oh, I also went to the library recently and read a book about how to become an illustrator and the book said that most people how are looking for new artist to meet, don't go to twitter, DA, instagram or any social media platform unless it's someone they know personally, they usually check on the person website or blog to get good feel of an artist as person. So, I guess having this blog is good thing after all. I'm probably going to make a separate page for my art for that reason..

Well, until next time....

Adventure Time: Come along with me (thoughts/opinion)

 Adventure Time: Come along with me (thoughts/opinion) 

(Warning: this post contains my own thoughts and feels on the ending of Adventure Time, and Spoilers. So if you haven't seen the last episode nor like opinion, you know the rules:)

Adventure Time GIF

 

Animated GIF

    I want to start off saying I that while I did see the premier of Adventure Time when it first aired back in 2010, I didn't really keep up with the show much after Finn broke up with the Flame Princess, but I did keep a tab on the show and fandom (like I do with most shows) So, I have seen most of the mini-series, the "important-plot"episodes, and The Fionna and Cake episodes (of course).

    With that being said I think I've seen enough of the show to get a good feel of what the finale was suppose to lead up to or at least what questions it was supposed to answer. After, Watching the finale twice and watching a video explain some of the stuff I thought I missed all I have to say is that...this finale was anti-climatic and left a lot of questions unanswered but I can't say wasn't expecting a ending like this especially for a show like Adventure Time.

The Good

Youtu.be-2xGPa1Po8dA

    I'll start off with the things I liked about this finale, before I talk about it's problems (because conductor, there's a few of 'em). The first thing I like about this finale is that Willow Smith voices Beth, the princess pup, she does a pretty good job at voice acting which makes sense since Willow said that Adventure Time was/is one of her favorite shows, and it was pretty cool to voice a character in the final episode.  It's always nice to see one of your favorite celebrities voice a character in a show you like, especially nice for Willow,after she came out about her self harming, which she doesn't do anymore, thankfully. Onto the next point...

Animated GIF

I liked how in the finale we finally got to see the Ice King return to normal, while a lot of people who didn't like the finale say that it wasn't really that special since we seen Ice King turn back to Simon before, but I really liked Simon as character and Betty and their story arch together. It was nice to see them reunite, even if it was only for a few mintues before Betty had to use the crown to fuse with Golb to keep Simon safe. Another, thing I liked how Betty and Simon were the ones trapped in Golb because Golb breaks down the layers of an object or person down their simplest form, and it makes sense because Betty and Simon are complex characters.  While Betty and Simon don't get to be together in the end, it's shown in the montage at the end that Simon goes on a quest to search for Betty (like how Magic Man did for Margles) and it looks like Simon now lives with Marceline, so at least he got decent ending....for the time being.

Animated GIF

Animated GIF

A more misc. scene I liked was right after Betty used the crown's power to fuse with Golb, the crown fell on the ground and Gunther picks it up and Jake says "Jump him! he's gonna wish to be all space villain!" because he thinks Gunther's going to use the crown's power to turn back into Orgalorg but instead he uses it turn into the Ice "Thing" King and plays the drums.

Animated GIF

Another scene I liked was earlier before in the Nightmare Realm when Uncle Gumball got his wish to be a princess, and turned PB into a dumb candy citizen. Uncle Gumball soon realizes that running a kingdom isn't that easy and PB realizes that candy people aren't really dumb, they can think normally they just have a  hard time expressing their feelings and thoughts intelligently...

Animated GIF

and the last thing I like about that finale is this scene alone because A E S T H E T I C S....

                          Youtu.be-MVn1xZi-jYU

and Come Along With Me is a really good song on it's own. it's probably one of my favorites from of the show.
 

The Bad

    Now, we move on the problems I (and a lot of other people) have the finale. One of the major problems is the whole conflict of the gumball war, while it's build to nicely and would be good contained in it's own miniseries. It's not a good enough conflict for a SERIES finale, but a season finale not a series. This mainly due to the fact that gumball wasn't really mention before in the early season, we had just learn that PB created Gumball and the others, so could have family in the recent mini-series. Finales are suppose to have high stakes for the characters and the world, with Uncle Gumball as the villain the only stakes I could see them ruling over the candy kingdom instead of PB.

    This outcome would actually be interesting if it didn't already happen when the king of Ooo took over the candy kingdom earlier in the series, and Gumball isn't really treated like a big bad like how Orgalorg, The Lich, and Golb was treated in the show as Villain. Gumball was more on par with characters like the ice king, or the creepy heart dude when comes to villains he doesn't really serve as  much  of a threat. It was a real let down when his conflict with PB was all resolved in the nightmare realm and right after he and PB make amends before anything interesting happened he turns right back into a candy person.

Animated GIF

    Speaking of villains, the actual villain Golb, the god of chaos who has been hinted and shown in bits throughout the later seasons is also another disappointment.  Golb was summon by Betty when she was trying to figure out a way to get the Ice King back to normal, she wanted to use Golb's magic powers.  While Golb seems threatening on paper, he wasn't really all that thearthing he just kind of showed up and literally left. He was weakened by the power of music, which gave Betty the time to fuse with him to make him leave, that's it. He didn't really cause that much destruction (ironically) that wasn't fixed or the characters just deal with it. This leads me to the next problem....

Animated GIF

 

    For Adventure Time Finale this doesn't have a lot action in it, people have been praising the finale for the character solving all their problem through conversations instead of resorting to violence (much  like another show on CN). But this is ADVENTURE TIME we are talking about, the show that in its earlier days was known for and stood out for being highly violence and vulgar. There used to be a rumor that  Adventure Time was actually supposed to be on Adult Swim,  and Finn used to jump at the chance to smack a demon (literally!).

    I know that music/songs are an important theme of the show and Finn has grown since then, and harmony is the opposite of chaos, but harmony isn't only in music it's also people working together for a common goal. You can have everyone fighting working together to make a giant music sword or something, something way more dramatic and cooler that just singing.

It feels like the finale was really pulling out all the stops to make the audience feel sad it was leaving, they spent way more time focusing on references and easter eggs than the actual story.

The finale spent way too much time on references and easter eggs, we didn't learn anything new in the finale that was fleshed out near the end. We already know that Fern feels inadequate to Finn, we already know that running kingdom is hard, we already kind of knew that candy people were somewhat intelligent, we already knew Golb was a powerful being, and we ALL knew Marceline and PB would get together by the end.

While I did enjoy the characters of Beth and Shermey they had good chemistry, but I really didn't feel like we got to know them well enough to say that they're are good predecessors for Finn and Jake, I know it's suppose to go with the theme of moving on and the fun never ends, but these two characters didn't even know about Finn or Jake before talking to BMO. In my opinion it would have been better if Sweet P was the next adventure, it would make sense if he like trained under Finn, and it would be a cool way to cement that he's done with past as the litch and turn around a new leaf. (also at the end you can see that he has a larger version of Finn's sword)

Animated GIF

A finale (especially to a plot heavy show) is suppose to give the audiences a good amount of answers about the characters and the world, and/or a new perspective on the world and it's character, but finale doesn't do that  we never get any answer to actual questions like  why did the ice king get old episodes of Fionna and Cake streamed into head every night, what happened to marceline's mom, what events lead the end of land of Ooo a second apocalypse, what's up with peppermint butler,  marceline's parents met, or even HOW DID ABRAHAM LINCOLN BECOME THE KING OF MARS?!! a lot of these (mostly) important questions are left unanswered. 

 Conclusion

Animated GIF

 

The Adventure Time finale, while it does have it's good bits of character moments and easter eggs that basically all it is, it doesnt bring anything new to the table or answer any important questions it's just serving  fan service and feels so people can go talk about it on social media about how nostalgic and sad they feel, it all felt so rushed. This is mostly due to the fact at the creator original idea for Adventure Time came from his love of D&D games and how anything can happen and anything goes there.   

The show brought up and drop too many characters and sub plots to have a good satisfying story ending, it seemed like the people on the staff were having a good time throwing around ideas and characters but when the time came to give a ending they really didn't know what to do, and it's not like CN help all that much after season 5 adventure time lost of a lot it's view to show like Over The Garden Wall, We Bare Bears, and Steven universe. Once Teen Titans Go became a hit, the studio almost forgot about Adventure Time entirely giving it a weird scheduling and barely advertising new episodes until the finale. So, the crew did the best they could with a show like Adventure Time, while the ending isn't really happy as the current showrunner admitted in a recent interview saying that the ending shown in the finale that the Great Gum War ended seemly well, some events happen  afterafter eventually lead to another war and another apocalypse.  So, This ending is probably the best  that show could have.

I can see why some people did like the finale and other's didnt, and I myself feel like there was something missing from the finale,but I can't ignore the impact Adventure Time had on CN and the animation industry as whole. Even though the show itself has ended, the adventures will always continue and the fun will never end in the hearts and minds of fans and in the comics.....

Cheer Legacy: Update 1

Banner first gen

 

 

 

    `Niki got a promotion from her new job at work, now she would have to wake up as early as before and has more days off. She learn for Joaquin's room, Sergio about place that offered dance classes, he suggested maybe they should take the classes together. She took Sergio up on that offer the next day when she realized she had the day off, Niki had nice time, she learn some new dance moves and even got to know Joaquin and Sergio a little better.

After the dance class, Niki tried out some other classes, while looking around she found a class that was teaching baking. Niki always wanted to learn how to bake, her parents would never let her near a stove after the Christmas party incident. Now free from her parents she wanted to try to get her baking skills up before Christmas. 

08-31-18_11-12-07 AM

Niki made through the baking class without a hitch....kind of... She did almost start a fire on her first try on baking bread, but her second attempt was way more successful. The class inspired
Niki to try some new recipes, back home bake some bread, sugar cookies, and bagels. She was really proud with how the bagels came out so she hand them out to everyone at work.

08-31-18_12-02-06 PM

Later that same month, Niki got to go to Geekcon with Candy and Quinn. Niki was playing in a pile of leafs (another thing she never got to do as a kid) with a some dude in a nice sweater when. She got a call from Quinn excitedly rambling about how Geekcon was that day. Niki brought candy along because she hadn't hangout with her in a while. Candy mentioned how Yuki loved Geekcon but she was so upset today because Geekcon fell on school day.

08-31-18_12-06-11 PM

While Quinn ran off to play on the VR game mat that was set up, Candy and Niki play some Party Frenzy with some other con goers. 

08-31-18_12-06-51 PM08-31-18_12-06-51 PM

Then she went around take selfies with some cosplayers, this the first time she's even seen one close up, back home Niki parents would never approve of her going to a place like Geekcon anyways.

08-31-18_12-12-19 PM

 

While she had to ask some of the cosplayers who they were dressed up as (because her parents really let her watch that stuff growing up) most of them were kind enough to tell her, while other were offended and declined to take a picture with a normie.

When Quinn was done playing on the VR mat, he should Niki around was they wandered the con grounds. There was a big rocket ship building contest, and Niki suggested that maybe Quinn should try appreciate but Quinn said while his handy skills were good, they weren't that great to build a rocket ship. After walking a bit Quinn and Niki decided to participate in the Game Testing Contest the con was holding. 

08-31-18_12-15-54 PM

 

 

 

 

 

Quinn got second while Niki got last place but she still had fun. Quinn won a fancy computer, and while he went to collect his prize Nikki went to see where Candy went.

 

08-31-18_12-27-25 PM

She found Candy just chilling at the nearby Karaoke Bar. Candy said while she does love her sister, she can only be around geeks for so long, but no offense to Quinn. Niki wasn't offended, she could see how exhausting a con like this could be, it was nice just sit down and relax. Niki was still happy she got some great pics with some nice cosplayers, she showed Candy some of them.

After the con ended, Candy and Quinn went home, but Niki stayed around a while longer. She chill near the bar with a sweet and spicy drink, watching other's karaoke performances. She also met some pretty interesting people at the bar, she met a chief and she got to talk with one of the best karaoke performance that night. His named was Akira and he work at the same place Quinn does.

_______________________________________________________________

A new restaurant opened up in Oasis springs, Niki had  dinner there with Brant, she hadn't seen him in a while and they had a lot to catch up on. Niki told Brant all about her new found love for baking and the Geekcon....

On, Halloween Niki made some Halloween cookies, since she forgot to buy some candy yesterday, and it was also good practice for Christmas cookies. A few kids came by to her house most we're still toddlers,  even though she didn't have any candy the children we're still happy to get cookies. Niki even made a painting for the spirit of the season...

Niki asked if anyone wanted to go trick or treating with her. Yuki, Quinn, and Candy said they were down. Joaquin, Brant and Sergio said they were too old for trick or treating. Niki was so excited that she wanted go treat or treating right now, bit everyone said it was way too early. Yuki suggested that Niki could come over to her and Candy's, while they waited for night time. They could just sit and watch all of Yuki favoy scary movies, and maybe after trick or treating go to Forgotten Hallows. Candy rolled her eyes at Yuki and said she's fine going trick or treating with her, but she could count her on Forgotten Hallows. Yuki said that Candy's just afraid of the vampires and ghost that wander the streets at night at Forgotten Hallows. Candy said she doesn't believe in ghost forgotten Hallows is just freaky because how dark and foggy it is over there.

At Candy and Yuki's place, while Yuki and Niki were watching horror movies, Yuki told her more about Forgotten Hallows.

Yuki said that the place was founded by vampires and the founder still lives there to this day, while yuki doesn't know what founder's human form looks like, she does have an inkling to who she thinks is a vampire. There's a weird dude that lives in the Forgotten Hallows with his two kids. Despite, his wife's passing a few years ago still remains upbeat and kind. Niki suggested maybe he's just trying not let his kids down. Yuki suggested that he sucked her blood  and she died. Niki asked why he do such a thing like that, Yuki said there's only one a explanation because he's a VAMPIRE. So, that why after trick or treating she and Niki were going to confront him.....

 

     Niki had a great time trick or treating with Quinn, Candy and Yuki, even though they were older than most of the people going out, Niki still got a lot of candy because of her cute costume. After, Trick or Treating Niki and Yuki were ready to confront the so-called "vampire" that lived in Forgotten Hallows, At first Niki wasn't sure about the plan, but it was probably the sugar rush that made it seem like a good idea now. Quinn went along with Yuki and Niki because he was worried about their safety, Quinn was feeling a lot more heroic in his superhero costume. 

When they got to Forgotten Hallows. and finally met the so-called vampire, turns out he wasn't a vampire at all, He was just a widor that happened to live in spooky neighborhood. Yuki was disappointed and a little embarrassed that she was wrong, but just as everything seemed normal a ghost wandered into the home. Yuki and Niki were surprised, and a little freaked out, but the ghost was just a spirit of  old man that died of old age. He wasn't all that scary and it was pretty cool they got to talk to a real-live ghost on Halloween...
