Important Update (Family Crisis) #4

Sorry I haven't been able to give you guys another update in awhile, a lot has happened. Thankfully though, most of it will be good for us in the long run. There's also the matter of not having much access to wifi atm which is still an issue we're trying to come up with a good solution for apart from using the hotspot wifi connection on our phones. Anyways, long story short we're FINALLY free from that horrible place for good and got everything safely moved into a storage unit.

Everything important that is, the rest can be replaced.

Now it's just a matter of slowly rebuilding our lives one step at a time and continuing to look for a new home because we're not planning on staying with this other friend of ours (who has been an absolute angel btw) long term if we can help it. That means this might be the last update you'll get from me for awhile but the second I have full wifi again you better believe I'm going to be playing catch-up on my previous projects as well as hanging out with my usual social media communities!

Important Update (Family Crisis) #3

We're safe staying with another friend we know we can ACTUALLY trust this time and are finally going to be able to take care of the last step we need to get the rest of our belongings out of the abusive former roommate's house. After that, we can fully concentrate our efforts on finding our own place without paying a fortune for hotel/motel rooms like we've been doing for the past few weeks as well as take care of our mental and physical health better. That means, with any luck, I might be able to resume at least some of my normal routine again because the housing part of things, sadly, is a big waiting game. Not to mention it has to be affordable which is...challenging for all of us in the states honestly.

Regardless! There's a light at the end of the tunnel now and I'm hopeful my mom and I will be able to start building a new life for ourselves free from that sort of drama. Life will go on, it will be difficult, the changes are going to be scary, but as long as we have true friends and family there to support us along with programs that are literally designed to help those in need, everything will be ok!

The irony of Fruitloops being a comfort food for me during this difficult time is so insane.

Important Update (Family Crisis) #2

Things have calmed down a little, however, we're still looking for a new place to live. But we're safe and are working on taking the necessary steps to find a new home. Things have escalated far beyond what either of us expected, so we're doing what we can day by day to get back on our feet. Not sure when I'll get the chance to update you guys again but I sincerely hope all you mother's out there had a great Mother's Day!

Important Update (Family Crisis)

I hate having to get too personal but a serious family crisis came up and my mom and I had to get out of an abusive situation. We're safe for now but obviously I'm going to be on hiatus for awhile until we figure out a solution.

@picturejasper20 Way ahead of you my friend. ^-^

I have this image of like Vlad finding Danny hiding in some dark alley for some reason (like Danny is escaping from ghost hunters and he is hurt) and it is raining, so Vlad moves his cape to give space for Danny so he can cover himself from the rain under the Vlad's cape.

Every time we drove by this place I kept thinking, why does it look so familiar?

Well...

This chapter might be shorted than usual, but there's a little foreshadowing about the future of a certain Red Hunter in there you don't want to miss!

[thesoulspulse]

Kinda felt like making an outfit for the others too so here ya go! Trish has a pair of short-shorts with a techno blouse, Sam is in green with those cool swimming shorts you can unzip holding a volleyball, and lastly Vallen's wearing a simple red get up with a "shark tooth" necklace that's actually a trophy from a ghost monster he fought.

P.S. Me thinks Sam and Vallen are going to play a one on one match of volleyball in one of the new chapters to impress Danielle, lets just hope they don't let their rivalry get too out of hand! It'll be a fun way to show off how good Sam is at sports which we only catch glimpses of in the show.

[thesoulspulse]

Hopefully their vacation will help Danielle relax a bit and get some rest because as cute as her haircut and this outfit is, she looks like absolute hell. It didn't feel right to have her smile when I drew this outfit real quick as a mental reference so I changed her expression to match the mood. The next few chapters are going to be a lot of fun to write but boy can I relate to feeling mentally and physically exhausted by how hectic life can be sometimes...

Things WILL get better though.

They always do!

[thesoulspulse]

This chapter is mostly brand new but I kept a few snippets here and there that I liked from the previous version and rearranged them. Hopefully things still flow well together since I tried my best to edit everything beforehand as much as possible to avoid grammar issues and such. But I'm only human so I might have missed something, if so then I'll try to fix it asap. Other than that I'm excited to see how things are going to progress from here now that we've reached this point in the story again where tensions are high between Vlad and Danielle. And now that the original gang's all back together, who knows what else might happen during their vacation! Especially with Vallen tagging along too!

Our Last Lost Soul Update!

Ok so, I've been doing a lot of thinking today since finishing the previous chapter and honestly, I think now is the perfect time to start over from chapter 31 onward. Of course, I'm still planning on keeping two major events in the story, such as going on the cruise and meeting Frostbite, but since I don't know how much longer the rest of this fanfic is going to last I figured my time would be better spent doing that instead of continuing to edit the same old stuff from before. Not gonna lie, it was starting to become pretty tedious work which I'm usually fine with. That's why I've decided to stop here now that we've successfully wrapped things up with Nocturne.

Besides, I've been itching to work on something new anyway and I'm hoping this will help satisfy that urge. Plus I really want to see what'll end up happening once we reach the grand finale when Astra finally enters the stage...

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!

Anyways, that being said, that also means I'm going to go ahead and remove the old versions of chapters 31-35 now that I've taken screenshots and made extra copies to reference later. Just wanted to let you guys know about this ahead of time just in case anyone freaks out and starts to think those chapters disappearing is another crazy glitch on FFN or something. Oh, and here's a special thanks for all your wonderful reviews @dp-marvel94! I'll cherish their memory! And hopefully you'll enjoy these new chapters just as much as you did the old ones!

Ironically, now the ao3 link seems to work now, but FFN is having a weird sync issue so rather than post a link to both sites as usual we're going to stick to the one that actually works properly. I think this chapter might show up correctly on the mobile version of FFN though, I'm just not a 100% sure. I meant to post this update sooner but the last few days have been pretty hectic.

Therefore I am now officially off to bed for the night before I faceplant.

Repurposed an old drawing for some data about Owen's arms whenever he's in his Necromancer form. The original version was a heavily edited screencap of Valerie's hand after Vlad gave her the Ring of Rage, so I decided not to watermark it this time either.

Old Edit:

Glad I took a break from this until I was ready to work on it again. I won't go into too much detail but a close cousin of mine that I grew up with who was practically like an extra little brother to me passed away on March 1st so we've been recovering from the shock of that. Don't worry, I'm doing a lot better now and have had a lot of support from the rest of my family and friends. Therefore, I'm in a much better place to resume writing about fictional family drama between Vlad and Danielle who're kinda going through a lot at the moment themselves...

Especially Vlad, who is extremely pissed at Nocturne and ready to avenge his little badger by any means necessary whether she likes it or not.

[thesoulspulse]

Can't sleep and I was in the mood to draw Iona with her hair down, she's the genderbent version/fraternal twin of my oc Owen.

Still not sure why the AO3 link doesn't want to format properly anymore but what can you do? Anyways, I'm glad I finally got the chance to work on another chapter because god knows I needed a distraction from the real-life drama. Makes me wish I could take a vacation right now too lolz!

P.S. For those of you wondering about what Nocturne's lair looks like, its something like this.
