Thanks for your patience. Hopefully with this new process I can write easier and keep any hiatuses from happening ever again. I’m so sorrrrrrrrry guys I really am but I will get better at this.

Monkey Wrench! by @sunbirddtellsstories
Clockwise from 12: Sun, Jermaine, Jack, and Timber.
Jack Spicer is no one’s favorite. For as long as he can remember, he's always been the underdog, the weirdo, the odd one out, the loser. After months of stagnation and failure, his dreams of world domination, the dreams that he’s been chasing for most of his life, are finally starting to fade. And then suddenly, he finds himself holding a Wu that can make it all happen. A power that can rearrange the natural order and make every one of his foes bow down and show some respect. A power that can finally cement him as the Lord and Master of every last thing on the planet.  The catch? He’s not the only one who has it.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single misstep.
Q: Why did you decide to write Monkey Wrench! ? A: Jack Spicer has always been one of my favorite characters in XS. When I was a kid watching the show on Saturday mornings, I always wanted to see him make it, to succeed in the way he needed to succeed - by making true friends, by finding his place in the world, and most of all, by loving himself. And I never got to see that, and that kind of bummed me out. XS ended with so many others moving on to a new chapter in their lives, but to me, it always felt like Jack's character growth was left up in the air. And after a long, long period of making up stories about what could come after in my head, I started writing it down. And after being inspired by a few authors and their fan fictions, and the creativity and courage they had to share their stories with everyone else, I decided to start getting serious about my own story and start posting it online. And that's how Monkey Wrench! was born. I'm writing this story for a lot of reasons, but the most important reasons are these two: As a kid, I always wanted to go on a XS adventure, because they looked like a lot of fun. Adventures are important for everyone to have, even if it’s just through stories. So writing one, and being able to make up the twists and turns that happen, the villains, the heroes, everyone in between - it all fulfills that wish perfectly. But also--and more importantly--I'm writing this because I want to see Jack Spicer become the hero I know he can be. Come check out the fic and as always, thank you for reading!
Tumblr media
Persephone by @seaflwer / at-sea on dA
Name: Persephone Age: 18 Likes: her current lifestyle, doing gymnastics, dancing, and singing loudly (and terribly) at any opportune moment. Dislikes: Not having anyone around to talk to, people ganging up on her man in any way, carbonated water, and the majority of Heylin peeps.

Jack, a coffee drinker: “I am unimaginably powerful. I can see through time. I haven't slept in four days but who needs sleep when you are on a higher plane of existence. The beans are in my soul, they are in my heart. I AM the beans. Soon I will vibrate at the harmonic resonance of the universe and T R A N S C E N D . “
Jermaine, a tea drinker: “Hhhhhhhhhhhot leaf juice.”
Timber, a soda drinker and the resident smoker who consumes half her body weight in pop and junk food each and every day: “Death is coming. Death is coming. Pass me a hot dog.”

So I found this dumb website that lets me check my vibes and I typed in the names of Team Spicer and Sun and well, here are the results.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Timber’s is accurate
Sun’s is accurate
Jack’s is HILARIOUSLY accurate
And Jermaine’s is...kind of surprising, honestly. Wasn’t expecting him to have gremlin energy at all.

= T I M B E R W I L D E =
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Full color refs courtesy of @fbschin and @the-trinket-witch, please support the artists)
FULL NAME: Tapeesa ‘Timber’ Wilde
APPEARANCE: 6’2, and by virtue of her height is the second tallest Xiaolin Dragon (second only to Clay, and even then it’s pretty close).
Floofy blonde hair. It is usually worn long but it is currently cut short with parts of it dyed forget-me-not blue. Tan skin. Brown almond-shaped eyes. Often wears a black toque/beanie, and has a taste for punk, grungy, and “woodsy” type fashions like leather jackets, plaid, distressed denim, etc.
Current outfit is as follows: Long sleeve black shirt with Canadian maple leaf design. Plaid overshirt. Ripped jeans, black socks and black boots. Fingerless black gloves. Single piercing on her nose, multiple piercings in her ears, and a forest green jacket with brown fur lining on the hood. Jacket is designed to make the wearer look like a wolf. This is Timber’s trademark jacket and her most recognizable article of clothing.
GENDER/SEXUALITY: Female. Pansexual. Polyamorous and proud.
PRONOUNS: She/Her/Hers
ETHNICITY: Mixed race - her mother is an Inuk woman from Labrador, and her father was an Irish-Canadian man from Newfoundland.
BIRTHPLACE/BIRTHDATE: Born and raised in the province of Newfoundland, Canada on November 2nd, 2003. Scorpio. 16 going on 17.
GUILTY PLEASURES: Cigarettes. Food. Weed. Food. Sneaking into places she shouldn’t. Food. Saucy reading materials. Food. Pretty girls. Food. Feisty boys. Food. Abusing her powers to be lazy, get what she wants and take shortcuts. Food. Loud music. Food. Singing. Food. Sneaking out at night. Food. Petty vandalism. Food. Street hockey. Food. Regular hockey. Food. Skateboarding. Food. Tagging property with her own unique brand of art. Food. Cute dogs. Food. Taking lots and lots of selfies and candid photos, as photography is her biggest passion and addiction ALSO FOOD DID I MENTION FOOD YET BECAUSE THAT’S A BIG ONE SHE IS ALWAYS HUNGRY
QUIRKS: Constantly takes photos. Constantly gets distracted. Constantly wanders off. Bites her lip when she is anxious or about to lie. Takes great pride in her hair and prior to her forced haircut took good care of it and grew it out long, thick and messy. Her wild hair is a trademark of hers and she doesn’t like people touching it or doing anything to it.
Is well known for having a nervous tic in the form of shaking hands. She claims it’s due to bad medication - and may even in fact believe her own lie - but in reality, it’s completely psychological in nature, due to her undiagnosed PTSD and trauma from a formative life event when she was 8 years old. It is always present, worsens under stress, and at times affects her motor skills so intensely that she cannot tie her shoes or pick up a spoon. It is a great insecurity of hers and she does her best to hide it.
TRIGGERS: Mentions of her family, being called “crazy” and being near the ocean or on water.
FUN FACTS:
When visiting a new place, Timber will build or draw an inukshuk and take a photo of it to commemorate the occasion. She has been doing this since she was small, and she continues this ritual in honor of the loved one who taught her how to do this.
Her real name Tapeesa means “arctic flower” in the Inuktituk language, but most people know her as Timber. Earned the nickname ‘Timber’ from her father when she made a tree fall as a young girl due to her Wood elemental powers revealing themselves. Answers only to the name ‘Timber’ in his memory.
Really loves blueberries. She likes all food and eats like a starving animal but she gravitates to blueberries and blueberry flavored things. Her trademark favorite food though is blueberry pancakes with blueberry jam, as per her father’s recipe.
COLORS: Blue and Green
ANIMAL SYMBOLISM: Moths 🦋
PHOBIAS: Several, actually.
Going home.
Losing the one “friend” she has.
Being alone for the rest of her life.
Being an outcast for the rest of her life.
Not being able to fulfill her deal to Sun and complete the one mission that has kept her going for YEARS.
Being open and honest and vulnerable with other people.
Trusting other people.
Other people.
But the one thing she fears more than anything else is the ocean. Deep water in general makes her very uncomfortable and she slowly loses it when in close proximity to beaches, docks, and boats. She. HATES. Being on water.
And she has every reason to hate it.
WHAT SHE WOULD BE FAMOUS FOR: Timber Wilde is the first Dragon of Wood in centuries, a “Wilde” card that even Wuya herself was not aware of before she made herself known. And due to the complicated history of the Xiaolin Dragons and the Dragons of Wood, that alone is more than enough to have everyone from the Xiaolin to the Heylin hunting her down. Inexperienced in actual combat, but with enough raw power and natural talent that exceeds even Raimundo and Omi’s Shoku-level abilities, Timber Wilde is cunning, powerful, creative, and above all, unpredictable.
Timber Wilde is also currently the owner of the Crown of the Monkey King, the most dangerous Shen Gong Wu in existence. What’s more, she is also the faithful and long-suffering servant, student and sometimes host of the evil that resides in it.
Along with her traveling companions, Jack Spicer, the reluctant Dragon of Metal, and Jermaine Thompson, the kung-fu prodigy that was trained by Chase Young himself, Timber Wilde currently travels the world in an ongoing journey, keeping her secrets close, her “enemies” closer, and searching for a way to free her master in exchange for her one and only chance to rectify the greatest failure of her life.
She will do whatever it takes to reach this goal. Even if she has to burn down the whole world to do it. After all...a deal’s a deal, right?
WHAT THEY WOULD GET ARRESTED FOR:
Theft. Arson. Disturbing the peace. Possession and underage usage of tobacco products and marijuana. General teenage mayhem. Destruction of property. Aggravated assault. Vandalism and trespassing.
...Treason.
WHO DO YOU SHIP THEM WITH: Timber is polyamorous and has a lot of romantic potential with a few different characters. I feel like she’d be happiest in a polyamorous triad with Jack Spicer as one of her lifelong partners due to how well they connect and compliment each other, but jury’s still out on who would best complete their OT3.
She’s 100 percent into nerds tho. Nerds and angry types and red hair and blue eyes. All she wants is to be topped by someone smarter than her. She just needs a feisty bookworm who can put her in her place and teach her things.
CHARACTER MOST LIKELY TO KILL THEM: Everyone is out to get Timber but sadly her worst enemy is in her own head. Literally. He’s in her HEAD.
FAVORITE BOOK/MOVIE GENRE: Historical/documtary type stuff because she’s hungry for knowledge of the world outside her small seaside town, but she also has a secret soft spot for shojo mangas and saucy romance books.
LEAST FAVORITE MOVIE/BOOK CLICHE: Sad endings, or stories where the dog dies.
TALENTS/POWERS: As the Dragon Of Wood, Timber Wilde has power over every form of plant life, and once again she’s nearly above Shoku level with her abilities. In addition to manipulating and accelerating plant growth, she can also....
Gift plants with sentience and speech,
Use pollen and scents to confuse, manipulate, charm or take out foes,
Create bioluminescent plants and fungi
Create armor for herself from plants
Use plants for camouflage, disguise, defense or offense
Create her own food source
And much more.
But the most important skill as Dragon of Wood she has is, above all, her healing abilities.
With the power to use the medicinal properties in her plants to heal almost any wound or illness, Timber Wilde’s healing powers make her invaluable in battle.
She also has learned one more technique from Sun, one that allows her to “borrow” another person’s power for her own.
But we can discuss that later.
WHY SOMEONE MIGHT LOVE THEM: Despite her many flaws, Timber Wilde isn’t that bad of a person. Deep down underneath her tough, nihilistic, cold exterior, she’s just a sweet, silly, mischief making teenager who just needs and wants a friend. She is a dreamer. She is an artist. Though she has long since lost faith in people she still has an eye for beauty and finds it everywhere in the world around her. She thirsts for adventure and wants to live life to the fullest and experience everything the unknown has to offer.
At her best, Timber Wilde is a lively, incredible, inspiring soul who is passionately devoted to everything and everyone she loves. She will go to the ends of the earth for anything and anyone she cares about, even if it costs her her own life.
WHY SOMEONE MIGHT HATE THEM: Timber Wilde is a deeply complicated person who has a lot of inner pain and fears. And like a certain other redhead, these feelings cause her to lash out at the world around her in less than ideal ways.
Timber lies. Timber keeps secrets. Timber can get very defensive when you poke past the casual front she tries to keep up and start asking her real questions. She has a loose sense of morals, and a survivalist mindset. She doesn’t reach out to other people. She doesn’t trust other people. In fact, the only person she puts her faith in is an evil entity trapped within the Shen Gong Wu she wears on her head. And because of his influence, her view of reality is severely warped.
She genuinely believes she has no real place in this world amongst other people. She genuinely believes everyone is out to get her and that everyone disappoints each other eventually and to make yourself vulnerable or to have faith in others is to invite hurt and heartbreak. And despite the fact that she holds her own needs and desires above everyone else’s, she thinks very, very lowly of herself.
She cannot forgive herself for past mistakes. She cannot let go of what’s already gone. She blames herself for the fate of her family and the untimely demise of the most important person in her life and this has taken a severe emotional and mental toll on her. And due to this loss, she has ONE goal in life that she chases after with all her heart and soul, and the way she tunnel visions in on her mission often means she leaves others to the wayside, though not always without guilt or regret.
Timber is....complicated. Like a wildfire, she burns and burns and burns, and each and every day she burns a little more out of control than before.
But fires don’t burn because they want to hurt people. Fires burn because they don’t know how else to keep from going out.
Timber Wilde knows her actions have consequences. But seeing no better options, she forces herself not to care. She lies to everyone, including herself.
HOW THEY CHANGE: Spoilers.
But I think a certain someone, or two certain someones, can help her change.
Power of friendship, baby.
Why You Love Them: Because she fulfills several of my wishes for what I wanted to see in Xiaolin Showdown.
A) She’s a female character
B) She’s a female XIAOLIN character
C) She is or will be a true blue ally and supportive friend to Jack Spicer, a boy who desperately needs friends
D) She’s a Dragon Of Wood and
E) She is a girl with grit who gets swept up into a magical life changing adventure

Been working on Chapter 10 a lot lately (10 and 11 technically since I’ve decided to cut out unneeded junk from both WIPs and combine what’s left into one refined chapter), and the more I work in it and think about the story that still lies ahead, the more I really really like Timber and Katnappe as a ship.

Chapter 10 Preview
Hey Guys! How’s it going? If you’re asking where I’ve been...well...I’ve been taking a break from writing Monkey Wrench!. I STILL PLAN ON FINISHING IT and i still desperately want to tell you all this story, but it’s a big story and i’ve been trying to figure it out before i go any further so i don’t write myself into a corner. and honestly, despite the fact it’s been slowing down the storytelling process more than i wanted, i did need a break. i worried myself so much on telling the story and getting things written out every day, i started to overthink it and it stopped being fun. unfortunately the break has gone on for WAY too long but don’t you guys worry. i am working on it, i have been working on it, and though it’s still not going to be ready for one, maybe two weeks, it should come out before the end of nov, if we’re lucky and if i keep trying. ideally, i’d like to get Chapters 10 AND 11 out to you all as sort of an apology for being gone for so long, but if i can’t swing that then i’ll just get you guys chapter 10 so you’re not waiting as long. in order to make up for being so long, here’s an excerpt from chapter 10 - the very first chunk of the chapter. i might tweak the words/sentence flow a few more times before i finalize the chapter, but i feel like this is at a stage where i feel comfortable with others reading it. so, without further ado, here’s the beginning of Chapter 10! Thank you for your support, and as always, thank you for reading! -------------[Chapter 10: Down the Rabbit Hole (working title)]---------------- Deep within the shadows of Chase Young’s lair, a lone crow nervously looked over his wing, held his breath....and waited. And waited. And waited. He was not alone. The jungle cats around him, from the brawniest Siberian tiger to the sleekest, smallest ocelot peered anxiously over each other, too afraid to speak. Shifting silently in the depths of the chamber, they waited, with absolute dread, for their dark and terrible mistress to engulf the mountain itself in the flames of her rage. But she didn’t. Wuya, now seated on a pillow-encrusted couch she had magicked for herself, gawked at the images within the cauldron smoke, popcorn spilling out of her open mouth. The crow jumped a little when she finally began to move, and slowly, almost as if in a trance, she placed her bowl of snacks aside and raised a hand up into the air. The image of the three teenagers froze in place, and the scene within the smoke began rewinding itself. Soon, the promising Hong Kong morning melted away into a dark parking lot. In absolute silence, the Heylin witch observed the confrontation between Pandabubba and Jack Spicer unfold, her eyes wide as she rewound the fight over and over and over again. Her minions lost count of the number of times they saw dragons and birds and a familiar head of bright red hair flash before them, and soon, even the crow had forgotten his fear as he lost himself in the captivating scene. But all of a sudden, the images in the smoke froze again, and everyone else in the room swallowed as Wuya pulled herself up to her feet, awaiting her instructions, or, more than likely, her impending tantrum. But there was none. The Heylin witch opened her mouth, closed it, and opened it again before running a hand through her hair. She looked up at Jack Spicer, face twisted in rage and eyes shining like stars, and the sight of his power unnerved her so much, she gave up on speech. Shaking her head, everyone else in the room flinched as Wuya suddenly turned and stumbled towards the stairs with none of her usual grace or confidence. The crow’s feathers fluffed up in surprise, for in all of the years they had known each other, Wuya had never looked more lost. He swallowed his fear and hopped off of the couch, crying out to her in worry. “Caw?”
Wuya turned around, suddenly remembering he was there. “I - !" Breathless and shaken, she briefly surveyed the room, the crow and the rest of the minions before turning back around, holding on to the railing for support. “I-I need some air,” she stuttered, her voice like leaves in the wind.
The door of the lair closed softly shut behind her, and the horde of jungle cats looked at each other in surprise before they all collectively let out a sigh of relief. A jaguar with beautiful golden eyes growled at the crow questioningly, but the crow shook his head. No, he would not be following Wuya. Whether or not she would roast him alive, and whether or not he'd catch flak from Chase later, didn’t matter. The witch needed her space, and the bird was going to give it to her.
The two of them didn't exactly get along, but after what they'd all just witnessed...the crow would step back and give her some breathing room. He would allow her that courtesy, at least.
The jaguar growled again, but again the crow shook his head. He knew part of him was just being a coward, and he knew it was his duty to keep an eye on her. But even so, there wasn’t anything in the whole wide world that could convince him to fly up those stairs now. An angry Wuya was a danger, but a lost Wuya, an unpredictable Wuya... That was a death sentence. Taking one last look in her direction, the crow flew over to the couch and pecked at some popcorn. Behind him, some of the other jungle cats threw an ingredient into the cauldron, eager to get back to the unfolding story to see what would happen next. The images started moving back to the present, and as he nibbled on the leftovers and ignored the jaguar's judgmental gaze, the crow asked himself, for the thousandth time that night, how much longer they would all have to wait until Chase Young came back home.

Jack/Jermaine/Timber Fact
Out of all three members of Team Spicer, Jermaine is the best cook. After years of spending time in the kitchen with his mom, sister and grandmother, he’s definitely the best at making food. It’s not a skill he breaks out often, but when he does, no one forgets it. 🍽
Timber, however, is the best at CATCHING and preparing food. As a fisherman’s daughter and a wilderness nut, she can hunt, fish and forage. She knows how to scale, skin, and debone anything, and her cooking skills are good enough to make what she catches/finds delicious. Additionally, she IS the Dragon of Wood and can grow her own food. She may not be as talented as Jermaine in the kitchen, but she can whip up tasty meals straight from nature like nobody else’s business.
Jack is hot garbage at cooking and catching food, but he definitely has the best table manners, has eaten the most exotic things out of everyone else on the team, and despite hating them with a passion, can eat at fancy restaurants and handle the etiquette required for formal dinners with ease. Rich kid powers, am I right?

Silent Influence (minific)
Wrote this an an exercise while I was listening to Silent Influence by Raujika and Coastline by the Hollow Coves. I liked it and I thought I’d share it. I’m really into this pairing. Might be endgame we’ll see.
—————
“A butterfly.”
“No, it’s a hawk.”
“All right. A hawk. Uh....a squirrel.”
“Nope. Cobra.”
“Alright. Well then....how about that one? What do you see?”
“Hmm. I see....a wolf with its jaws open. And it’s about to bite off a rabbit’s head.”
“That’s....creative.”
“Annnnd also the rabbit has five eyes.”
“What the - ?” Clay sputtered for a moment in mild confusion. “Why in Sam Hill would any rabbit have five eyes?”
“I don’t know! Maybe...it’s an alien rabbit?”
“.....Really?”
“Tch!” Settling herself deeper into the grass, Timber pouted and let out a huffy breath. “All right, Steve Irwin. Fine. What do you see?”
“....Alces alces.”
“I’m not from Quebec. I don’t speak French.”
“It’s Latin, actually.”
“Oh. So...?”
“Moose. I see a moose. With big ol’ antlers.”
“What?! That looks nothing like a moose!”
“It does to me.”
“Nonononono. I’m Canadian. I know a moose when I see one.” Timber sat up and gestured to the cloud in question. “That’s not a moose.”
“‘Course it’s not a moose. That there’s a cloud. Which is shaped like a moose.”
Timber snorted and shook her head. “You’re not doing this right, Tex.”
Clay laughed and tipped his hat up just enough to give her a gentle wink. “Let’s agree to disagree.”
A soft breeze blew gently through the hill they were lying on, and as the tall grasses hissed softly around them, the two entered a peaceful silence. For a moment, the Dragons of Wood and Earth did nothing but close their eyes and take in the sweet scent of flowers and greenery and new beginnings, and the faraway promise of a perfect golden summer. As the clouds overhead slowly passed over them, Clay basked in the warm May sunshine and sighed deeply in appreciation. “Boy howdy, it sure is a beautiful day.”
“You got that right, Tex,” agreed Timber, opening her eyes and watching a ladybug fly past her head. Lazily raising up a hand, she watched as it landed on her finger and inspected it for a second before gently sending it back up into the air once more. “It’s a nice spot, too. Didn’t know this meadow was out here until you told me about it.”
“It’s real pretty, isn’t it?” Opening his eyes, Clay looked back up at the sky. “I come out here a lot.”
“How come?”
He shrugged. “To think, I guess. Everyone on the Team’s got their own spot to go to when they want to clear their heads. Omi has the Pool of Contemplation. Kimiko’s got her Minecraft Server. Rai takes the Tiger Claws and goes back to his favorite beach in Rio. Jermaine’s got New York. Even Jack’s got that lab of his.” Blowing his bangs out of his eyes, Clay sat up and picked up a handful of soil, watching it run through his fingers. “I guess this here’s my spot.”
Timber rolled over to her side, watching the thoughtful expression on his face with curiosity. “This place means a lot to you, doesn’t it?”
“Yep. It sure does.”
“Then....if this is your special space....” Timber tilted her head. “Why’d you bring me out here?”
“I - ! Uh....”
Timber’s eyes widened in surprise as Clay hastily turned his head away from her, but not before she caught the pink flush on his ears. “W-well,” he stuttered nervously, “I know you’ve had a lot on your mind lately .... what with training and adjusting to the temple, a-and working with your Elemental Shen Gong Wu and all...” Clearing his throat to compose himself, Clay turned back to Timber, still averting her eyes as he scratched the back of his neck bashfully. “I just....thought you might like to come out here and watch the clouds with me for a while.”
Timber blinked, letting his words sink in before standing up and snapping her fingers. Within seconds, the tree behind her began to bloom, and soon its branches were heavy with bright red apples. Clay watched as she climbed up the trunk like it was second nature, and after a moment or two, she came back to him with two of the biggest, reddest apples in her arms. She offered one to him with a lopsided grin, and he smiled back and took it. “Thanks,” he said, looking down at his treat. “But....what’s this for?”
“Payback,” she answered, taking a big bite of her fruit. “You did something nice for me, I figured....you know....I’d return the favor.” Wiping the juice out of the corners of her mouth, she gave Clay a warm, honest smile. “Thanks for bringing me out here, Clay. You were right. I needed this.”
Trying to ignore the fluttery feeling in his stomach, Clay blushed and brought the brim of his hat over his eyes. “Aw, shucks, it was nothing.” Taking a big bite of his apple, Clay tried to ground himself before speaking again. “S-so, you liked watching the clouds after all?”
“Oh, it was okay. But I didn’t come out here to watch clouds,” Timber admitted, tossing her apple up into the air playfully. “I came out here to watch you.”
Clay’s eyes snapped open and his ears went beet red as he began to choke on his apple in surprise. As she offered him water from her canteen and patted him on the back, Timber laughed, and over their heads, the clouds continued to pass in the perfect Spring sky.

Jack/Jermaine/Timber fact
All three members of Team Spicer have been severely impacted by their relationships with their fathers. For better or for worse, the bond each one of them has or has had with their respective Dad has played a major role in shaping who they are today, how they perceive the world and what goals they have for the future.
