## Journey (written by Thelefia himself)

### March 2017 - October 2019: Imagination Arc

Back in 2017, Thelefia watched ‘Big Hero 6’. There was nothing extraordinary about that, but what was really interesting was the Idea that came after, “What would my suit look like?”

After that, they designed various mechanical suits at school, imagining themself fighting people with them.

Soon after Thelefia came up with a multitude of other stories, inspired by their real-world experiences, one of them would be my enjoyment of the animated series ‘Ninjago’. They made a world filled with elemental users, and even though it wasn’t their first story, it was the beginning of the Tales of Six.

Other inspirations for stories include when Thelefia scraped their knees badly and had large scabs grow, or messing around with broken cardboard. In 2018 these stories started to become more and more serious. They put more time and thought into them, and after a while, Thelefia had the idea of having a company work on stories like Netflix.

Thelefia thought about it for some time, however, I feel it would be appropriate to talk about it in the Beta arc.

In early June of 2019, Thelefia took an interest in animation, there were no clear signs as to why other than a pure curiosity, and on June 9th, they published their first video, ‘scp 106 Animation’.

It wasn’t the best, but it sure as hell had gusto, being the first video. And as of then, Thelefia was called ‘Cool Guy’.

Since then, Thelefia has been posting short-form animations, further growing their skills in animation, however, Thelefia never used it for their stories, and that brings us to…

### November 2019 - July 2021: Beta Arc

On November 15, 2019, Thelefia was at school, they were messing around with Sticknodes when they came up with an idea.

Thelefia had recently watched a video where the name ‘Ron’ was the butt of the joke, They thought that was funny so they made an animation about it called The Adventures of Stickman and Ron, after a couple of hours passed the idea grew into a series, however, it was vastly different from the one we know today.

I quickly made the second episode after that, using the editing software known as ‘Videoshop’, and after the episode was uploaded to YouTube, I started making the third episode. However, they weren't really motivated to do so, since it was only just for fun, and not actually connected to Story of a Thousand Tales yet.

Sometime later at school, Thelefia started to doodle in their planner book, yes they probably shouldn’t have done that but it will be important later.

Now we reach where the pandemic happened, it was a paradise for Thelefia, however, we should now go back to the idea of having Netflix and other companies make SoaTT, it was causing them more and more anxiety, to the point of them thinking that they should quit entirely. This is when Thelefia started to watch the show ‘Black Clover’. The reason I bring this up is that the main character, Asta, has a running theme of never giving up, and that Inspired them to not give up on SoaTT as well. The idea of never giving up made the anxiety lessen.

In February 2020, the doodles from Thelefia’s planner book became the third story from the Tales of Six known as crystal stories.

Now you might be confused as to why I said it was the third story rather than the second, since the Adventures of Stickman and Ron were not really a part of the story, you might think that but the Adventures of Stickman and Ron was still a story, and the time of when the idea was made matters more to me.

Now we come to early April of 2020 when Thelefia was attending a class meeting. I don't remember much, but There was a speaker that talked about practicing for the future and strengthening your skills.

Thelefia thought about SoaTT and The Adventures of Stickman and Ron, and came up with an idea, “what if I worked on Stickman and Ron so I can be better at SoaTT?”. That was the spark that led Thelefia to finish episode 3 and onward.

Mid to early 2020, Thelefia was messing with a camera stand, and came up with the beginning plot to what we know now as ‘The Worlds of Magic’

Summer of 2020 came around and the Adventures of Stickman and Ron had some extensions to its universe, such as different series and short movies, so they thought it would be appropriate to give everything an umbrella name to encompass everything. Thelefia chose ‘the V.C. Series’ since the main power used was the Vibe Check.

Not only that but it was added as an official member to the SoaTT canon, although they still wanted a company to make it, they thought it would be a fun easter egg to have them in the background.

On one night in mid to late 2020, Thelefia was messing around with some putty and a Lego katana, eventually, a story was birthed from it known back then as ‘the Wishing Sword’, but we now know it as ‘Legend of the Light Bringer’

Eventually, in November of 2020, Thelefia and their father went out to a place that I don’t really remember, and before they got out of the car an epiphany was had. “What if I made SoaTT myself, like what I’m doing with the other four?”

That led to the current 5 being fully independent from any company.

In December, Thelefia became a big fan of Hyun’s dojo and the world that it created, they started imagining themselves messing around in that world with a unique sword that will be important later.

Eventually, in December 2020, I created a whole new character that used the sword among other weapons, I made more and more characters and a fan world of Hyun’s dojo, and eventually, I separated the world I made from Hyun’s dojo entirely and became the story ‘Team Epic’, I used that name in many of my stories as a placeholder name, but now if finally has a home.

Not only that but World of Magic has had its final iteration done, having the main premise stay the same but the events and characters changed. and now Tales of Six was finally forged.

Mid to early 2021 I am undecided about creating the final chapter, where all the worlds collide into one story, called ‘Linked’, although it is still in its rough draft phase to this day.

But even though there was an ending I felt I needed to give the story a proper ending, so I created the epilogues, the final additions to the story.

Let’s take a break from Thelefia’s stories and visit someone else's, back in 2020 they joined a server run by a man known as Wolf 84mk4, and Thelefia wasn’t very active on it, however in 2021 they started to advertise Stickman, and ron, another person who goes by the name of G0og1e\_Gugz, or just Gugz gave criticism on the current episodes, at the time Thelefia found the criticism to be unjust, however now they totally agree with them.

Over the months Thelefia realized that both Gugz and Wolf both create stores somewhat in the same vein as what they make.

Eventually the Adventures of Stickman and Ron episode 13 was released, but to continue this story we must go to the next arc.

### August 2021 - may 2023: Procrastination Arc

Something was wrong…very wrong.

For an unknown reason, Thelefia was procrastinating while working on episode 14 of Stickman and Ron, while there was some progress done here and there, they spent weeks procrastinating. This happened for the entire arc, but do not think that Tales of Six wasn’t being worked on, Thelefia made great strides in the writing of the story, even influencing episode 14.

I tried different techniques like breathing in and out or reminding myself that it’s gonna be okay, but none of that worked for too long.

2021 was the time Thelefia started to contribute to Wolf’s Starsky World, by creating stories to put in, however since the procrastination thing was happening they barely got any of it done, the projects they have are as follows: Ring Chronicles, The Legend of Green Cat, Universal Odyssey, Dungeons of Azura, and Elemental Mayhem.

November 15th, 2022 rolled around, the 3rd anniversary of the Tales of Six happened and Thelefia changed the name of ‘the V.C. series’ to ‘Universal Legacy’, as well as ‘the Wishing Sword’ to ‘Legend of the Light Bringer’. Thelefia soon realized in spring 2023 that Tales of Six needed a real introduction, something to represent itself to new viewers, so they decided to create the Prologue, which shows us how the Tales of Six world came to be.

### August 2023 - Present: College Struggle Arc

Temporal Ignorance.

In early August Thelefia thought of that Idea, and it came to them from realizing why they had been procrastinating.

Whenever Thelefia thought of working, there was this feeling in their gut that forced them not to do it, even though it didn’t last when they started to work. But what if they didn’t think about it, only doing so when they would immediately work on it?

That is what Temporal Ignorance is, setting a timer for Themselves to relax and not worry, and when the timer runs out, they immediately start to work before the feeling can manifest itself.

That alone solved everything.

Thelefia used a timer to log the amount of time they worked per day, they were truly on the grind.

But this arc isn’t called College struggle arc for nothing, eventually, Thelefia started college, and the reason it’s a struggle is that it’s a power struggle between my stories and College itself.

Thelefia came up with the idea of downloading Firealpaca on the computer they were using at college, and it worked. Thelefia got some things done on that computer and used Gmail to send it to their computer at home.

In september, a person who goes by Tactical Toaster started to help with Takes of Six, He made a popcorn bucket that was in ep15 of The Adventures of Stickman and Ron.

In September 2023 I created the basic premise of the seventh and final epilogue, a love letter to the entirety of Tales of Six.

Even though they were able to bust through the walls of procrastination, a much bigger enemy lay behind it. And Thelefia busting through the walls of procrastination doesn’t mean they conquered it.

Thelefia has trouble continuing to work after taking a break to eat, and using the log timer was getting to them since they weren't working as long as they wanted to, thanks to College. With all of that in mind, to get over this hurdle, Temporal Ignorance had to evolve again, and sure enough, it did.

The reason Thelefia was procrastinating this time was that they were worrying about the time they worked and the time log. They wanted to work 8 hours a day Monday through Thursday, and 10 hours Friday through Sunday, but that quota wasn’t being met.

So what do you do if time is the one thing you're worrying about? Don't make it the focal point of your progress, instead of the time you spent being the end all be all, have it be the progress you made today.

That helped them stop procrastinating, however, it might not be the last time.

But they would be lying if that was the end of the fear of time, All of Thelefia’s stories are huge. That means it would take a considerably long time to finish, Tales of Six alone has an estimated episode count of 500-600 episodes, not to mention my Starsky work.

Thelefia wants to make one episode a month, and doing the math, at most Tales of Six would take 50 years. They don't even know if they’ll live that long.

Thelefia really wanted to complete it, but their hope was dwindling.

Do you remember when I mentioned the show, Black Clover? The show that gave Thelefia the determination to continue on with SoaTT? Well, something like that happened again.

In August of 2023, Thelefia started to watch One Piece, not to get into the nitty-gritty of the story, the main character Luffy has a speech about his dream.

“I’ve decided to become king of the pirates, so if I die while fighting for that, that’s fine with me!”

What Thelefia took from it, is that even if they die before they reach the seventh epilogue, SoaTT,  or even finishing Universal Legacy.  it would be okay since they would die doing what they love the most.

One Piece also solidified a name for what Tales of Six represents for Thelefia, their Life Goal.

And even if Thelefia can't get it all out in the real world, it’ll still be in their head

Also, there is a chance that Thelefia could get enough people watching that they could do it as their job, and even have a team of people working on it with them.

The best-case scenario would be achieving the sacred 1 episode every 15 days, however, that is unlikely. The fear hasn’t gone away, not sure it will ever, but Thelefia can manage it.

I still care for my Starsky work, but it comes second to Tales of Six.

Late October 2023, Thelefia made a meal plan chart for the week, so as to save time deciding what to eat for the day.

… We caught up to the present, eventually, this arc will be completed, but that won't be for a while
