I'm a writer and I want to have a voice. This blog seems like a good way to start

Nalu Fire Field

So, a little backstory, in the past year and a half I have become a hardcore Fairy Tail fan. Now to be clear, I haven’t read a lot of the manga. My focus is purely on the anime; the dubbed anime. I can’t really do subs; my eyes aren’t good enough to read the words and watch at the same time. Plus, I discovered Fairy Tail on Netflix, so I prefer it in English. I have seen most of the lasted manga chapters everything from the Gruvia double suicide to Human Acnologia falling out of the sky. I’ve decided to stop and wait for the new anime season to come out (if it does) and be dubbed. Fairy Tail has totally changed my style as a writer, I’ve used so much stuff from it and reinvented it to create my own characters, plots, and superpowers. Furthermore, like any anime fan who happens to be a writer, I’ve come up with various fanfictions and alternate plot routes for the series and decided to start writing some of them down. The most recent one I came up with Is called Nalu Fire-Field. The idea came to me the after seeing this picture of Natsu and Lucy lying together in a field of grass on Instagram.

Being the hardcore Nalu fan that I am my mind quick began to create a story. It was similar to those picture prompt essays the give children in school, only more fun (for me at least) because it was original. I’m not sure where it’s going to go, what I’m going to use it for or if I’m going to use it at all. I might even report a rewrite (probably will) with a new story and direction, but I just felt something special about this one and wanted to post it. So here it goes:
Natsu and Lucy lie together on a blanket in a flowery field near a forest. “Wow.” Lucy says, watching the petals dance in the breeze above them “It’s so beautiful” she says smiling. “Yeah, it is but you know what’s more beautiful?” Natsu says before turning over toward her, inhaling her scent and planting a kiss on her collarbone “he-he, Natsu” Lucy says implying he should stop. “Oh, come ‘on there’s nobody else here” Natsu he says climbing on top of her now biting her neck “That’s true,” she says closing her eyes as his mouth moves from her collar to her lips. Lucy wraps her arms around his muscular body pulling him closer, then grabs his head and moves it back to her neck “You like that huh” Natsu whispers “Yeah” she mutters eyes still closed as his head bobs up & down on her neck. Taking her hands off his head, she rolls them down to his vest and starts feeling up his chiseled torso while he reaches down and squeezes her butt. “Natsu (moan), Natsu (moan)” Lucy opens her eyes only to see a giant fireball heading straight for them “NATSU!!!” she screams in panic Natsu pops up from her neck “What!?” He shouts turning around to see the fireball right above them “HOLY!?!” Natsu quickly throws himself down on Lucy, completely covering her as the fireball crashes down on top of them causing a massive explosion.
The dust settles, and the smoke begins to clear as Natsu comes into view shielding and holding Lucy from the blast. “Lucy!! Are you ok?” “Yeah, I’m okay. What about you?” “I’m good, fire-proof skin remember,” Natsu says before climbing off of her and looking around at the devastation surrounding them, the once flower filled field now had a burnt circle with two teenagers in the middle. Lucy asks, “what was that?” “I don’t know but they’re coming from whatever that thing is” Natsu points to an airship flying over the field dropping more fiery balls of destruction as it flies over the field. “It’s an airship but why is it blowing up this field?” “I don’t know?” Natsu says pick himself up “but whatever the reason it’s going down,” he says activating his Fire Dragon iron fist and starting to run towards it “Wait I’ll take it down” “You?” “Yeah mean I can handle it, besides you have something more important to take care of.” “What?” “Natsu, this field is full of flammable plants, and the fires from the explosions are spreading toward that flammable forest.” Lucy points toward the now engulfed forest. “I can’t do anything about that, but I can shoot down an airship” Lucy says “Alright” Natsu says “It’s heading towards Magnolia, I’ll see if I can stop it before it gets there, you suck-up all those fires” Lucy “Got it, but be careful” Natsu says “You too” Lucy says as she heads toward the airship while Natsu races toward the forest-fire while rubbing his tummy “Alright stomach, time for lunch.”

How I became a Political Junkie

This is the post excerpt.

So recently I’ve started watching the news, well recently might not be the right word here. See before the election I really only cared about POP culture news, it was more my speed. I knew the people and celebrities in it and liked talking about it. I actually thought one day if I had a comedy show like Jimmy Fallon or Kimmel or (pretty sure there another Jimmy I’ve never heard about) it would be based around pop culture. Likewise, part of me even hoped I’d be the topic of one of those videos one day. But then the election rolled around and believe it or not I was actually not sure who’s side I was on or who to vote for and since this would be my 1st year, and my generation is known to rebel against their parents I decided to do I little investigating. To put it simply I took an online test and yeah that sounds bad but It wasn’t on any flashy website, and it took about 30mins. So it seemed really accurate and after taking the test the results told me that basically, I was pro-Hillary. This made sense although it should be said that there were a lot of questions on that test that I straight up didn’t know or understand so obviously there were some “holes in my system” (seems like a good way of putting it). Anyway, after that I went back to my normal pop culture life, but then things definitely started changing when I started watching “Secular Talk”

Now my discovery of Secular Talk is definitely different than most (I assume). I wasn’t looking for a news source that met my lifestyle or outlooks, no that’s not at all what happened. In fact, my mother is technically the reason I started to watch it because she watched this old mystery drama called “Leverage” which I started watching. What does Leverage have to do Secular Talk, well I’ll tell ya. There was one episode call ( I stopped typing to search this) Gone-Fishing Job Season 3 Episode 10? Not really necessary, so the episode had this evil Militia in it that the gang stops, and it stuck with me, the militia I mean. I mean the way they were portrayed, they were these super backward, patriotic, southern sounding, rednecks wearing army getups. And people that far gone make me feel, whats the word “superior” (No sounds douchey), more like, just better than, smarter, more evolved. Those words are all similar to superior, but they sound better to me. So anyway, one day after watching Leverage fool them again for the 3rd time (I re-watched the episode) I searched to see if these things were still around and if they had ever been stopped in a similar fashion. Problem was I didn’t know what they were called (the word “militia” wasn’t part of my voacbulry, never needed it). So I search and eventually I found it, (the word) and then I found a video by some White guy talking about Militias. It was Secular Talk, I don’t even remember what Militia group or whatever he actually talking about and (I not gonna search for it, that would really de-rail the train of thought).

I liked how the guy in the video sounded so I watch another one, and another one (Anyone whose ever used YouTube before knows where this story is going, so I won’t explain in to you). His name was Kyle Kylinski, (sounds made up but can’t think of reason why someone in his position would need to do that, it sound like something kids would mock or Stan Lee would use Peter Parker, Reed Richard, alliteration) I liked his personality, the way he spoke about things and his opinion. Found out a few videos later he’s from New York, which would explain the “tude” (Attitude, for those who didn’t get that) also he was young and not ugly and anyone who thinks that shouldn’t matter is delusional. Since he posted new videos almost daily, he became part of my regular routine, eventually he lead me to TYT and then I had two news sources. With them around I slowly began to lose interest in Clevver News, Secular talk and TYT weren’t as modern, flashy or funny but it was definitely easier to talk to people about something other than what Miley Cyrus thinks about Kim Kardashian, (crap now, I wanna know that, dammit).

Where was I, oh yeah so one day while watching either secular talk or TYT (can’t remember), there was a video with another guy in it. This one seemed different but I wasn’t sure how, so I clicked on it. This video was way funnier than all the other ones and even had a laugh track so I was instantly hooked on watching. He talked about the same things and views the other shows had so I binged on him, funny stuff. It took longer than I’m willing to admit (about a week) to realize that the funny news youtuber was watching was actually Seth Meyers and that a “Closer Look” was just part of Late Night (I’ll admit the graphics and laugh-track should have been a clue, but I usually turn the channel when these shows come on so what would I know). So now I was watching Secular talk, TYT and A Closer Look and if haven’t notice the pattern here yet, this was not the end of it in fact it was the beginning of my love for Political Satire. I started watching Stephen Colbert (love the energy), Trevor Noah (style), John Oliver (longer segments then all the others, really felt like I was learning stuff), Samantha bee (that woman is just hilarious, luv her). My imaginary show “Just Cause” went from a place where singers sang other singers songs (Celebrities Cover) and I joked about the events of my week (Wandom Week). To a place where I joked about the government and grilled politicians. At least I kept the girls whose danced with me as a walked out on stage (AJ’s Angels, don’t judge me, those girls were awesome). I still watch Clevver News but only to see debatable, here new music and celebrates thoughts on political events.

Even so I’m a lot more informed now than I was just a couple months ago, life is slightly more depressing but least now I know who to blame and why it is. Watching things like Secular talk, Seth Myers and Stephen Colbert have sort of become my favorite pastime or hobbies kinda like my buddy who Kevin (not his name but It’s what I’ll call him) about a year ago (March, I think) went from and unhealthy Stoner to a tough Gym Rat. The news as truly opened up a whole new world to me and I honestly wish I’d started watching this stuff sooner because I honestly can’t imagine my life without it, I just feel smarter and more aware of my life and world.
