So, this year I've been planning on being a Ranger, from the book series Ranger's Apprentice. Best books series on earth, read it. I own all twelve books. :3
But for this I would need a bow, quiver of twelve arrows (the books specificlly say that the quiver has exactly twelve arrows), saxe knife, throwing knife, double sheathe for both of those and a cloak. I have the knives (I actually have six throwing knives), I would need to make the sheathe, and I would need to make the cloak. And it's the 24th. And Halloween is on the 31st.
So, for the matter of the double sheathe. I need it because it is something that is unique to Rangers alone-it even says that mulitple times in the books. But I don't exactly have one, considering how people rarely even sell good throwing knives. Sooo, I have to make my own.
The sheathe should be leather, stiff strong leather. But I don't know how to work leather. So I have to figure it out and risk losing money on leather that I messed up on. And I would have to reinforce the tip with metal. Where would I even find metal that's the right shape?! So I would have to shape it myself, which I of course have no clue how to do. By the time I'm done with this, I'll be a master with crafting!!!
Now for the cloak. Oh my.
It has to be perfect. The description in the books it 'a grey and green mottled cloak, that seemed to shimmer in and out of focus.' I've developed it even further. Now in my mind the background color is a dull green (note: dull) with greenish-grey splots on it. These splots are not tiny splots, but large-ish. You can't tell where the green ends and the grey starts, it's a blended together. The clasps is a thick strong cord, not a clasp because a metal clasp would reflect light and that would be bad. The hood is deep and the cloak part goes past the ankles. (It's very long.) Burs just slid off, and the fabric is warm in the winter but cool in the summer.
But where to find fabric like that? With the texture, warmth qualities, and colors! Where, oh where would we find something like that? And it would take forever to sew it! I don't have forever, I have a week! And school! And homework! And chores!
And the bow and arrows. And the quiver. I would prefer a traditional bow, arrows, and quiver, but they're so hard to find! I mean the wooden kind. I would love a draw weight of about twenty pounds. And I would have to make the arrows.
So my costume had to change. Now I'm going to be a modern-day-Ranger.
Meaning I will wear a green sweatshirt, green shirt, grey sweatpants (baggy of course), and my saxe knife. Handing out candy.
Happy Halloween! >:3

Hi Again
Sorry I've disappeared. I just kinda lost the motive to continue with DeviantArt. Sorry. But now I need to ask you to hold on and keep reading.
I'm on this thing called FanFiction.net and I love it! Mostly. I've been getting some hate on it from a guest, and because they're a guest I can't block them or report them.
The first time they hated on me was for one of my fanfictions that I took up for someone who quit. They said that I was a *blank* who was a *blanking* *blanking* attention-seeking *blank.* They also said to "listen to my mommy and focus on my studies."
They basically said a bunch of cuss words and told me to quit writ
The Thunder Shaking the Table
The moment when the thunder shakes the table you're drawing on is a very scary moment. Your mind rushes through all the possible things that could happen.
Earthquake?
Even if it's on the other side of the world, people still get hurt. People still die. Families and friends still get torn apart.
Tornado?
I think this one is self-explanatory.
Tidal-wave?
I've heard that these can shake land. But I live in Illinois so, probably not.
Hurricane?
What if the storm gets so bad the street floods and just washes everything away?
What if lightning strikes the house or a tree nearby?
What if, what if, what if...
The thunder
Happy Halloween!
So, hey guys! We've got a whirlwind of...stuff.
First, my dad is in the hospital. Not looking for attention, not in the slightest, but I feel that it's major and needs to be said. So, ignore any offense in religions, please say a prayer for him. Please ignore any religious offense.
So also, if you haven't read my other journal, The Gar'er, read it now. Please, do yourself a favor. Here's a link:
I don't know what to do.
Also there's the matter of the ILLEGAL THING IN MY HOUSE. Ya, apparently my saxe knife is illegal because it's over 6 inches. So there goes my costume. We would be facing a large fine (something to do with a two
Layers of Stolen Souls-Prologue
Please note that because I am stupid I do not know how to write stories on DeviantArt, so I use the journal system. It works quite well actually....
Hope you like this!
I looked around me. I was trapped. Cornered. Dead meat. The beast crept towards me and leapt. I opened my mouth to scream, but I couldn’t make a sound. The horror of the creature before me was too much.
Wait, was that a….roaring sound?
“It was only a dream.” I say, relieved.
I look around, and freeze. I had woken up, so this couldn’t be a dream. Flames eagerly licked at the door, and I knew I would never get out tha
