《The Triplets' Guides (Reader Insert Version)》Mabel's Guide to Art
Advertisement
Mabel picked herself up off the ground that she had just crashed towards. She was wearing an aviator's helmet and goggles, and had a pillow with the words "Amelia Awesomeheart" strapped to her chest. She also had an umbrella in each hand, though one of them was destroyed from the crash.
"And that was Mabel's guide to flying" she said to the camera, as she threw the umbrellas to the side. "In conclusion, flying and falling are basically the same thing."
She walked up to the section of broken fence where she had crashed. There was a small blue bird perched on top of it.
Mabel turned her attention towards the bird.
"I am like you now, bird" she said.
She suddenly pushed herself even closer to the bird with a serious expression on her face.
"We are now one!"
"Today Mabel's guide to...art!"
"Mabel's guide to is filmed in front of an adorable studio audience."
In the Mystery Shack, Mabel gestured towards a strange miniature sculpture of a moose in a tutu holding a tennis racket, which was sitting on top of an Ionic pillar.
"Art! It's all around us!" she said the camera cheerfully. "From the big triangles of the desert, to those pens that go like broop! Broop!"
An elephant was now holding a paintbrush with its trunk, and was smearing red paint all over the canvas that was set up on an easel in front of him.
"Even old Jumbo is getting in on the act" Mabel commented. "Don't quit your day job, Jumbo."
Jumbo finally pulled back his trunk, revealing a painting made up of random primary smears of paint all over the canvas. Mabel couldn't really tell what it was supposed to be.
"That..that's really bad."

Mabel was now back in the Mystery Shack.
"No one really knows what art means or where it comes from, but one thing is for sure: I'm great at it!"
She placed a blank sheet of paper with a light blue crayon scribble on it on the table.
"At age two, I was naturally gifted."
She then placed another drawing over it. It had two stick sloppy stick figures, one was bald, and the other had a single stick of hair. Labelled underneath one of them was "DIPR," and underneath the other one was "(Y)."
"By age five, I was a master of portraits."
Mabel then placed a third drawing over the previous two of rainbows that were in a courtroom, and written at the bottom were the words "Rainbow Court."
"Age seven was a time of free exploration."
She finally turned towards the camera with a wide grin on her face.
"But everything changed when I saw this amazing caricature!"
She held up a picture of a caricature Dipper, on a green surfboard with a blonde lady sitting on it in a white bathing suit. Written in the corner were the words "Lady's Man!"
Dipper immediately snatched the picture out of her hands.
"Give me that, give me that!"
Mabel didn't seem to mind though, turning back towards the camera.
"What could make it even better, you ask?" she said, reaching downwards. "I give you...the cat-icature!"
She held up her picture of a grey cat, wearing a camouflage bandana. It was obviously supposed to be (y/n).
Cat-icature!
She then held it up right next to the real (y/n).
"Just compare this amazing alikeness to (y/n)!"
(y/n) squinted at it skeptically, and crossed her arms over her chest.

"That doesn't look anything like me."
"You're right, that does look exactly like you!" Mabel yelled over her to the camera.
Cat-icature!
Mabel slapped down the cat-icature of Stan over all her other pictures of Dipper, (y/n), Wendy, Soos, and Waddles on a table.
Stan looked at all her pictures.
"It's just the same crummy cat face with a different hat each time" he said.
Mabel smiled.
"Exactly. And I sell them for ten dollars each."
She had managed to win Stan over with just that one phrase.
"You need an agent" he asked with a serious expression. "I am now your agent."
Mabel was now in Toby's office. She held up the cat-icature picture of Toby to the camera, and then gave the picture to the real Toby Determined, who looked at the drawing with awe.
"It looks exactly like me!" he said. "Right down to my actual cat whiskers that the doctors can't explain!"
He hugged the picture to his chest happily.
"Meow meow meow!"
Mabel frowned at him.
"You're always weirder than I remember."
Stan was now selling the cat-icature pictures at a table outside the shack, and there were many tourists holding wads of cash out to him eagerly.
Stan grinned as he turned towards his niece.
"Mabel! These caticatures are selling like hot cakes!"
Mabel was sitting at another table a distance away from her great uncle. She was leaned against the table with a rather bored expression on her face.
"Cat-icatures are great, but I've moved on to the next level" she said, as she started to reach underneath the table.
"Behold! Humanicaticatures!"
She held up a cat, with a picture of a human doodled on its belly.
Humanicaticatures!
The people looked at her with weird expressions only for about a second, before holding out even larger wads of cash wildly.
Stan grinned.
"Somebody get this girl more cats!"
Mabel was now back in the Mystery Shack holding a paintbrush, but her hair was sticking out in several directions, her clothes were torn, and her headband had been snapped in half. On top of it all, she was missing a shoe, and her entire body was covered in scratches.
She was surrounded by hissing cats.
"That's it for Mabel's guide to art" she said to the camera. "Where we learned that sometimes, you have to suffer for your art."
She then approached the nearest cat.
"Here, kitty. Here, kitty kitty kitty."
In response to that, the cat lunged at her, and attached its claws to her face.
She screamed and fell backwards, clawing upwards as the cat hissed and attacked her face mercilessly.
"Ha ha, it actually kinda tickles!"

Virtuous Cultivation
-July 10, 2022- Stocked Chapters: 8 I'm out of hiatus, but honestly, I can't trust myself to post consistently anymore... A new arc is about to begin, and I'll start posting again once the entirety is done. It might take a year, but honestly, this story is going to go on for the foreseen future anyway... so I suppose that's just a blip in the grand scheme of things? I'll leave updates here every once in a while, if for some reason you're still actively checking on this incredibly slow story T-T The path of cultivation is often portrayed as one stained by bloodshed. But is that truly necessary? Heaven is merciful, after all. On a rather ordinary day, a peasant girl was whisked away by a strange old man. In a hall of great white jade, she was offered the chance to cultivate. ...too bad she's as lazy as a sloth. Slice of life Xianxia with fairly little action in early chapters, more focused on comedy.

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

Gray's Crucible
“The value you have brought to trade is immense, more than a thousand fold what any other traveler to Crucible has ever produced. More than even I produced during my journey.” The old man paused for a moment here, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a few seconds he begins again with weariness creeping into his voice. “As the Messenger of Crucible I have received the value of your life. You shall be awarded a body with potential equaling the value you have brought to this place in accordance with the laws of the higher realms. Now you shall depart for Crucible, but first; I, Jaze, will give you some advice.” The old man, Jaze, he had named himself paused a time. Time enough that Gray began to wonder if he was still present, when he suddenly continued in a low and serious tone, “You will undoubtedly have great potential Gray of Earth, but it is still only potential. What could be is not necessarily what will be. If you step foolishly in my world, if you can not live up to the potential you have bartered for, Crucible will crush you mercilessly and tear away your very soul.” A thought, cheerful and light was heard from Gray before his presence was sent rocketing away like a shooting star. “I’m looking forward to it.”
