Welcome to the strange nonsensical world full of the almighty Inkequizzles and evil Chocolate cake, extracted from the colorful universe of my very own brain. The chapters of this book don't follow any particular storyline altogether; they're mostly my workings of the art of nonsense. Vignettes, short stories, games, freeverse "poetry", rants, pretty much anything I can think of. I hope you enjoy c: -Armo Schmutty

Butterflies of the Dark Star by Birdpaw
73 parts Complete Mature
Beautiful cover by @deathinreverie (MATURE THEMES WITHIN. PROCEED WITH CAUTION) "It has been said that something as small as a butterfly's wings beating can ultimately cause a typhoon." Nova Spacyn and Neo Teimea, two students straight out from school find themselves in the midst of a galactic conspiracy, where the Ushavex Nebula, a wall around their galaxy, keeps them from discovering the truth. In a society built upon the foundations of the questions unanswered, Neo Teimea seeks to find the single truth - everything about the disappearance of the famous D.S Butterfly, a space station with a population in the thousands when they went to research the nebula. With their own sense of accomplishment in hand, they dock onto the B.H Supernova to chase the last signal of the D.S Butterfly, and come across the sea of stars - and something else. With the broken piece of the wings of time choking their necks, Nova can't seem to find a way to save Neo while the clock strikes once. Over and over again.

Destiny of Fire: The Normality (WotP) by Rangerlil
34 parts Complete
"I felt so caged again, as if I had wings but I wasn't allowed to fly, a voice but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was a scary feeling at first, but later you just get used to it, but you just want freedom and the feeling of safety. Why did I have to be caged in this dump? I thought about the Phoenix again. Did the Phoenix hate me? What had I ever done to this Phoenix? I balled my fists up in anger as I stared outside the window still, watching a great brown eagle fly outside." ("The Normality" is part 1 of "Destiny of Fire", the first book of the "War of the Phoenix" series) For quite a long time, a legendary bird called the "Phoenix" tried to possess a woman and her children to come in hopes of taking over the world. When it gets ready to try and possess its next victim, Alisha Quill, a group called the Storm-seekers and another group called the Spreaders are hard at work to stop the Phoenix in any way possible, including asking for the help of the most powerful man in the world; Almaroz. Meanwhile, nine heroes rise from the most unlikely places and even though they don't know it, their paths are set to cross and their destiny falls under the feet of the storm-seekers and the Phoenix itself. Achievements: #32 in Steampunk #105 in Prophecy #152 in Phoenix WARNING: It's my first story, so it probably won't be top quality, and the chapters are pretty long. "A Great Storm Is Coming..."
