The Rivertons: Daddy's Little Secret

When it came to crocodiles, Matthew didn't exactly have a good opinion of them; every single one he came across in the past was always intimidating, looked like if you said the wrong thing they'd SNAP, and quite frankly, they were pretty rude...but that was until he met the Rivertons.

When he was about to enter his teens, Matthew and his family moved out of the UK to Clearwater...

Exclusive Access

Constant traffic, the loud chattering of people, the low, muffled bass — those were the familiar sounds of a Friday evening downtown. Many young adults, including Matthew, spent the start of their weekends at a nightclub, where they got to have fun with their friends and potentially socialise with new people; maybe even get lucky, if they play their cards right. When you're lining up to get i...

Toof and Fang: a Gondola's Steam

Meeting someone in person that you've been friends with online for a while can be rather nerve-wracking, especially when they live across the pond. That was what Matthew was experiencing. He had met several people in person who he had originally known online before; however, they were always quite local — not too far away from him. Toofer, on the other hand, lived in Sacramento, California, a...

Distracted | Part 2: Drunk Encounters

Drunk Encounters

It was a rather quiet, yet busy Friday evening for Matthew. With Summer vacation fast approaching, homework was getting piled up on his desk at a rapid pace. While others were throwing house parties before it was time to head home, Matthew was cooped up alone in his dorm trying to finish everything as soon as possible, to avoid a massive load of books on his de...

Problems With Potions

During Matthew’s first week of lessons at Hogwarts, he had experienced the most known subjects commonly discussed throughout the school; he saw magical plant life, cast his first ever spell, and even learned a bit about turning creatures into inanimate objects, just to name a few things. But one subject he hadn’t taken part in yet was one that he was NOT looking forward to based on his moth...

Holiday Baking (High-Res Version)

*~It's the most wonderful tiiiiiime of the yeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrr...Where the kids jingle belling, and everyone telling you be of good cheeeeeeeeerrrrrrr...~*

Christmas — the loviest holiday of the year, but also the busiest: malls filled to the brim with shoppers, people travelling to visit their families, and getting all the food ready for the big day. When the first week of De...

Car Problems (High-Res Version)

In the world of Cyberpunk, technology is significantly advanced. There have been major scientific achievements such as AI and cybernetics — there are even flying cars, if you're rich enough! However, despite these technological breakthroughs, vehicles could still malfunction from time-to-time. Maintaining a car is no easy feat for a regular citizen. At some point in most people's lives, they'...

Forgetting About Her (High-Res Version)

In the early days of Matthew becoming independent, life was going pretty well for him. After saving up money and maintaining his well-paid job for a while, he decided to go on his own and move out to finally give his parents freedom. Ideally, he wanted to rent a place with his girlfriend, Bertha, but she still lived with her own family and wasn't financially stable enough to be staying in her o...

Our Little Secret

Sometimes college can be stressful for a multitude of reasons: the amount of studying, exams, student loans — the list goes on. But another thing that can make the experience stressful is having a teacher you have a rough time getting along with. Unfortunately, that was the case for Matthew.

He was looking into becoming a potential author, and he thought majoring in English w...

TIER PRICE CHANGES

Hello peoples! I just wanted to let y’all know that I’ve decided to reduce the prices for the Wuff Lover and Wuff Worshipper tiers.

So for the high-res versions of the art I commission, as well as all the benefits from the previous tiers, the cost has now been reduced from $25 to $15! And Wuff Worshipper has been reduced from $50 to $30 for anyone who wishes to support!

Catching Up (High-Res Versions)

Weekends are the highlight for everybody in the week; it meant the end of work for most, and for two days (sometimes three), people got to do whatever they wanted — they could catch up on their latest series, eat out to a fancy restaurant with friends and family, or go to the movies. But on one Friday night during Summer, Matthew was invited out to a recently-opened bar by his friend, Dustin,...

The 57th Hunger Games | Day Four: Troubled Waters (High-Res Version)

Upon awakening on the fourth day, Matthew was greeted by that familiar, shivering cold once again. He grabbed hold of his sleeping bag tight, and tried to cover all his neck fluff so the breeze wouldn’t make its way down the wolf’s body. Since day two, not a single tribute had died, and he had not encountered anyone else since Claudia was killed that night.

The Quidditch Cup Final

It was coming near the end of Spring. Summertime was just around the corner, and the temperature was starting to pick up; it was much warmer than the freezing Winter they had that school year. But one thing was certain when the school term was coming to an end — the Quidditch Cup final was upon them. The buildup to the event was typical, though the atmosphere was much bigger than before; stud...

The 57th Hunger Games | Day Two: The Careers (High-res version)

Upon awakening the next morning, Matthew was rudely greeted by an unpleasantly-cold gust of wind. Naturally his body began to shiver inside the sleeping bag, so he immediately pulled the hood from his jacket over his head and made sure his entire body was tucked in. Overnight, the temperature in the arena had significantly dropped since the games started. There was no confirmation on whether or...

“Like Warm Apple Pie”

Moving away from your parents for the first time is, understandably, anxiety-driven for most people; especially the younger ones moving into a new home by themselves. Matthew was one of those people.

For him, moving out of the home he shared with his parents was a huge step in his life. The biggest worry for him wasn’t even the responsibility of owning a home, but rather the ...

The 57th Hunger Games | Day One: The Cornucopia Bloodbath

It was the day of the games. After two weeks of training and studying — two weeks of constant fear of what he would experience — Matthew’s skills were about to be put to the ultimate test.

The journey to the arena via hovercraft was incredibly awkward, yet suspenseful. Next to him sat eleven other tributes who would soon be wanting to kill each other, including himself. I...

No-Tell Hotel (ノーテル・ホテル)

Visiting new places is always fun to do. You get to check out famous landmarks, meet new people of that culture, and many other things. And one location was especially known for being a very fun place to go — Tokyo.

During the Summer, Matthew had visited Japan for a week by himself to witness locations he had dreamed of seeing in person before: the fashion districts of Shibuy...

The Librarian

It was a rather quiet day at the local library. There were barely any customers around — even staff were out of sight due to the lack of attendance. Now that school was over and Summer vacation had begun, there was no need for students to study anymore since the exams were over. The only customers they got in there were ones doing research for some projects, or in Matthew’s case, returning ...

Tying The Knot

The piano played as the two kissed and confirmed their bond together in front of their friends and families. Finally — they were now officially married; husband and wife. Their loved ones cheered them on as they walked down the aisle and into the bar down the hall where they all gathered around and listened to the heart-touching speeches they both made each other.

After the s...

Blackridge B&B

Work is something almost everybody has to do in their life at least once. Most wake up in the morning, have breakfast, and then they take an hour long drive to work from nine-to-five. Matthew however...he worked away from home. For a few months at a time, he’d be taking planes from his home to somewhere else, whether it’d be in another state, or outside the country. He was a VERY busy man a...

A Planned Accident

Dating for Matthew wasn’t exactly something he was very experienced at. He had tried it online time-and-time again, but nothing ever came from it. He was always suspicious about how they worked — how some were supposedly ‘free’ but charged him if he wanted to stand out more from others just to get a girl to swipe right on him. It also didn’t help seeing how many of the accounts he stu...

Valentine’s with Jan

After an hour-long session at the gym, Jan began to make her way home, sweating bullets due to her hard workout; when it came to her exercise, she never held back and went all the way every single time she was there. All she could think about after that was having a nice, hot shower and then relaxing with her one-and-only Valentine — Matthew.

Christmas at Hogwarts

As December of 2013 rolled around, the weather started to feel much colder than it already was. The clouds turned from the usual dull-grey to a wintry-white as snow began to cover the entirety of the castle grounds halfway through the month, just in time for the holidays. As soon as December 1st struck, Hagrid had already began lumbering in a pile of fresh oak trees to use for Christmas decorat...

The First Spell

At long last — after all the stories his parents told him from when they were there — Matthew was finally a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the previous night, after the feast with his new housemates in the Great Hall, the prefects escorted him and several other first-years to the Ravenclaw common room, where he was brought into his new dormitory to sleep for the f...
