Vampire's Pet

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets.Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones.Was.It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his.This is my life. I am a pet.~~~Cover by: @mshacake
Because Of Him (Revising)

Ang mga problema, pagsubok, at paghihirap sa buhay ay hindi natin mapipigilan. Palagi iyang nariyan. Unti-unti tayong humihina, lalo na sa pananampalataya. Tila ba wala na tayong pag-asa.Kadalasan, ito ang nagdadala sa atin sa mga temporaryo at maka-mundong bagay- ang kasalanan. Nakagagawa tayo ng mga bagay na ating pagsisisihan. Kagaya ng isang trahedyang dumating sa buhay ni Ruth na tila ba'y isang kisap mata. Patuloy siyang naniwala subalit hindi niya 'yon isinabuhay. Buhay niya'y naging puno ng kasinungalingan. Ngunit kahit ganoon, nakilala ni Ruth muli ang Panginoon. Sa piling Niya natagpuan iyong tunay na pagmamahal. Iyong tunay na pag-asa. Iyong tunay na kalinga. Lahat ng iyon, natagpuan niya sa kaniyang Ama. Nalaman niya na lagi niya Siyang kasama, kahit pa mula noon hanggang ngayon.Nagbago ang buhay niya. Kahit gaano pa kadilim ang kaniyang nakaraan. Kahit gaano pa kadilim ang kaniyang nilalakaran.Lahat ng iyon, dahil sa Kaniya.

If Llorumi Wasn't Toxic

This fanfic is basically Llorumi if it wasn't toxic. I, personally, am not fond of the canon ship and I feel like it could've been better if Harumi didn't cause Lloyd that much trauma. So, I decided to make a fanmade au which does exactly that! The final chapter was a collab with the user @IdkWhatToPutHere4010 (display name: Artsy) and I enjoyed writing it with them very much. There will be several bonus chapters of the same au coming soon!(P.S this takes place during the time in Crystalized Part 2 where Lloyd is chained to the ceiling)(P.SS this fanfic is written for all ages. It is primarily PG as Ninjago is a cartoon made for children, but it has been written to be enjoyable for all ages. If you're not okay with that, feel free to click off and read something else. You've been warned)

My weird Artbook

I guess art eh? why did make this? I honestly don't knowguess I just like draining myself with both writing and drawing :)-This book is pretty old already, meaning that the art in the first few chapters honestly looks pretty bad- atleast I think so. I mostly keep them up so I can keep in mind how much my art has improved, but for everyone who stumbles upon this book now, just know that all the good stuff will be in the later chapters ^^
