Itoshiki Nozomu is the most pessimistic person that never sees the good in things and is always looking for the perfect place to die, certified depressed person 24/7, a suicidal. But how Ironic that he is a teacher, a teacher that needs to give students a lasting positive impact, a teacher that has a bunch of unique students with their own charms and problems to add to his class. There’s: the shut-in, the stalker, the illegal immigrant, the foreigner with split personalities, the one that only talks through text, an extreme perfectionist, the one that’s covered with injuries, the “boring” one, and the happiest jolly rancher in the world, Kafuka. The girl that keeps preventing Itoshiki, a.k.a. Zetsubou sensei, to die and finally be out of his misery. Accompany him and his students to some bizarre, wacky adventures as a class and find out if he ever gets to die.

Fishbaiit’s note: (I gave a small warning on the top but I’ll mention it again, if you’re sensitive to this kinds of topic, don’t watch it, this anime is entirely based on that kind of dark humor. There’s also other jokes that some people may take offense on. But if you do end up watching it, then enjoy it! in my opinion I think it’s very funny and random anime^^)
to anyone who's writing my romcom, please give me a bit more rom, the com part is getting out of hand (also, I don't like the humor where everyone else laughs when the main character is miserable, but I feel like that's extactly what my producers think is funny)

The Haunting in the Faroe Islands by Ameera
Dear, everyone!
This year, I'm creating my very own Political RPF fanfic in Wattpad. The title is "The Haunting in the Faroe Islands" and its genre is dark comedy psychological-supernatural horror-thriller.
The fanfic is set in July 2018, a group of tourists came for their three-week holidays together in the Faroe Islands. Some strange things happened in this island when there's a barn-house that was haunted and being abandoned for a very long time since the death of a farm-maiden, who dies of a severe heart attack while locking herself accidentally in the storeroom in the barn-house.

I don't think I've shared this with anyone besides a friend I don't really talk to anymore; and while I feel extremely nervous sharing them, I'll think I'll ease that by expressing the fact that I'm not an artist. I have been self teaching myself how to draw for years, so if this looks kind of bad, that's why.
Anyways, I obviously like it enough to share, so I am very proud of my work regardless.
That aside, I wanted to detail this story before sharing everything I did for it (I guess this'll be a short series about everything I drew for it).
A Fourth Dimension Reality is a series of books I'm writing about two inter-dimensional kids trying to find out what dimension they're actually apart of. Along the way, they meet other people who are integral to their goal. Each of these characters will be introduced as I go along.
Now, as for the real world logic, I wrote this story after me and that friend were talking about how some shows that are suppose to be comedy/satire lost that along the way.
So, I was determined to make a story where that stays intact even in the finale. Essentially, this is a long shit post that needs to be stopped, but it's still going well into five books with a unfinished total of 100k and seven books officially planned.
Each book ranges from 23k-30k and no book is any longer... yet
So, anyways, here's the actual cover of the first book (I have two more made).
Later on though I ended up drawing something goofy where all the characters find a dimension that does space tours. That was my excuse as to why they don't have shoes (because you don't want to get the dimension dirty do you?)
But this is everyone and presents their personalities pretty well. I'll showcase them separately over the next few days.
For now, this is perfect showcase of this story:
“So this means no one can hear me scream!” Cassie used all of her breath in that howl. Larson groaned and went to hit her, but she moved out of the way and spun slowly in the air. “I can dodge you better out here.” She mocked.
With a growl, Larson said, “this isn’t some kind of joke. We need to do what Jax said.”
“Yeah, yeah whatever.” She dismissed his comment. “We’ll get there eventually, let’s just have a little fun!”
Larson just stared at Cassie as she continued to spin around happily.
He was brought back to reality when he felt his phone vibrate. “Oh, I forgot,” he answered it swiftly, “you can hear me right?”
Back on Earth, Jax could clearly hear them through the phone. “I’m surprised that it even works! I really didn't think it would.” He said with amazement present in his voice.
“Yeah, doubt me, why don’t you.” Jax laughed at Larson’s remark. “But I’ll try a video call now.”
“Alright.”
Larson was about to press the button when he saw Cassie still spinning around in front of him; he sighed and turned on the video call. Once it came up, he saw a smile grow to Jax’s face.
“So it does work, great.” Jax paused. “Cassie!” He called out.
“Yeah?” She said while turning to look in their direction.
“The video call works.” Jax announced.
“Okay!” She began to slow her spinning down.
Cassie took out her own phone and called Jax once more. She put it on the video call and stuffed the phone inside of her bag. She zipped it closed and turned to Larson.
“Okay, I can see him, so that means we’re good! I’m screen recording so you guys can do whatever you have to.”
“You don’t have to tell me that,” Larson said.
Cassie huffed. “Stop being so mean. Anyways, we will Jax!” Cassie confirmed.
“Good luck you two!”
With their method of documentation set, they started putting their plan into action. Larson slowly moved over to Cassie.
“Stop acting like a kid and let’s get to work.” He snapped at her.
“You’re so boring. We’re in space dude! We can breathe without astronaut helmets, why not live a little, Lars?”
“Maybe on our next trip.” Larson went ahead and turned back once he was a small distance away from her.
From his jacket pocket, he pulled out the rope he brought. Needing to be as air resistant as possible, he couldn’t carry a bag with him, instead he just already tied the rope around himself and stuffed the other end into his jacket pocket. He pulled out the other end and threw it to Cassie for her to grab. Cassie caught it and was now being pulled by Larson.
Once she was in front of him, Cassie pulled him. Their motions created a way for them to move about in space with the most amount of ease. After a few minutes of their maneuvering, Cassie let out a sigh.
“See, this is all business,” Cassie said with a pout.
“Yeah, yeah. Looking like a bitch doesn’t help you.”
“At least you used the right word, but I wasn’t trying to give you puppy dog eyes.”
They remained pulling each other in a still silence. This was maintained until they could finally see Pluto. Cassie giggled as she stared at it.
“Oh it’s so cute!” She paused. “Do you really think anyone will be there?”
“I don’t know, but if we do find someone it would be better to stick together.”
“I wonder if it’s like a superman thing.” Cassie started to talk about something else. “Like we’re stronger because we were on Earth for so long.”
Larson scoffed. “If anything, being on earth made us weaker.”
“See, I don’t think like that,” Cassie began, “I really feel like we’re stronger because we’ve been exposed to different mindsets and then we’re going to learn this one. So by default, we’ll be smarter!”
“Always on the bright side huh?”
Cassie giggled.
Also, fun fact: I'm so bad at spelling I kept writing Dimension as Dimention and I still don't really know if I'm spelling it right😃
They kept pulling each other until they were caught into the gravitational pull of Pluto and were able to land...

Here's the second book's self-made cover!
The Crimson Soul is the start of the group discovering more of the world around them. Finding out things they otherwise would have to de research on.
The exploration in this book is specifically about one rift they encounter after scouring their town for any anomalies.
Here's an excerpt:
As the world around her changed into the Rift world, Cassie found herself still innocently interested in the entire place. In her mind this place looked-
“Like it was raining blood for days!" Her eyes went everywhere they could. "This is the kind of stuff you see in horror films or those dystopias!” She said to no one.
Cassie looked at her phone seeing that only two minutes had passed. She sighed and tried to occupy herself for the remainder of the time. As she was going to, she felt a slight vibration. “Hmm?”
The vibration turned into full on shaking and when she looked up, her eyes were covered by a shadow. She held her hand above her eyes in order to see better and there she saw the figure of a giant staring down at her.
“Well, don’t you look mad?”
This large being made no effort to respond to her comment. As it towered over her, Cassie remained looking up at it.
“Creature. What brings you here? Are you the one who has been here before?”
Cassie nodded. “I’m here for a little… I don't know what it's called." Cassie paused for a while and thought about the right word.
The beast spoke at that time. “So that means you’re the one who came and kept my people from killing that human?”
Cassie didn't speak for a bit and the beast began to get impatient.
“Damn, I can't think of the word, but yeah I did do that." She looked up. “With that commanding tone you have, my guess is you’re Sarkon… right?” Cassie assumed.
“Sekon, you insolent creature!” Cassie smiled a bit. “With your insolence, do you believe you’re going to get out of here alive now?”
“Not really… well, at least I know you think you’re going to kill me, but hear me out.”
“Why should I? What’s stopping me from just crushing you into our fertile crust?”
“Because you’re looking for challengers, right?”
Sekon paused, but eventually spoke. “…that’s correct.”
“Then I’ll fight you!”
“Willingly? You aren’t looking for some kind of bargain to hold over my head?”
“Of course not, I’m honorable.”
Sekon laughed at her. “Besides me taking a liking to your blunt nature. I am bored and am in need of some entertainment.”
“I’m sure you are, but do we have a deal?”
“Yes, we do.”
“Okay, but hopefully you actually wait for a fair fight 'cause right now I’m a bit distracted. It won’t be much fun to crush me if I’m not going all out.”
“You are correct. Whatever it is you’re doing should be finished before tomorrow. You have my word that I won’t attack you before then.”
Cassie pursed her lips. “I know I probably shouldn’t trust you, but eh, whatever. I’ll be back here tomorrow and I’ll even have someone else who might be interested in fighting you as well!” Cassie's voice was chipper as she spoke.
Sekon chuckled. “Use whatever you need. I know you will not beat me.” Cassie smiled up at him "But do understand what you are losing when I win."
Her brows furrowed in confusion. “Okay, not sure what that is, but I’ll be thinking about it I guess.” Cassie was about to go past him, when she realized. “Oh, you mean my life!” Sekon seemed at a loss for words. “Yeah, for sure, I’m worried about my life and losing it or whatever.”
Sekon watched her for a bit, as Cassie seemed to be mumbling to herself as she walked off. Sekon watched her for a while longer as she carried on. He couldn’t help the amused feeling he got from her…
Cassie groaned to herself as she walked the streets. “Why the hell am I so stupid? How’d I not know he was talking about ending my life?” She sighed and tried to move on...
Fun Fact: this whole book takes place in this dimension and I liked making Sekon a lot because of the relationship he has with Cassie. Also, Cassie says his name wrong because of two reasons. 1. because she thinks his name should have been Sarkon, and 2. because I kept forgetting which name I actually picked, so instead of taking it out, I simply added it in the story!
wtf have I just made…
Cassandra Ito-Ivanov lived with her single mother. And then she died. Cassandra Ito-Ivanov had never met her father. And now, with no one else to watch her, she must go all the way to the other side of the country and live with him. She ends up in Cardinal. A tiny, middle-of-nowhere town that has no such thing as Burger King. Her father is missing ninety percent of the time (big shocker), his so-called housekeeper won’t stop breathing down her neck, and again, there is no such thing as Burger King. It could be worse, she could be in foster care. Cass is odd, but Cardinal is odder. Weird things happen on a daily basis, the forest is forever, and there is no such thing as Burger King. They fear the night, for it holds secrets.
This is my first ever story. Sooooo don't expect it to be perfect. If you like unserious horror stories, try Cardinal on Wattpad (chapters 1 2 and 3 out now). Please just give it a chance.
Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
