Hello everyone,
I am Anthony Scribblz, an aspiring author, poet, artist, and advocate for peace (only through my writing), prosperity, and love. Approaching 30, I navigate my days as a Doordasher, a means to an end while I’m in the caregiver chapter of my life. Creativity has always been my best outlet during the hard times. Not every day is hard, but even on the difficult ones, I strive to stay positive and inspired.
Here on Substack, I plan to share a few glimpses into my life's story, though my main focus will be on showcasing my creative process and telling the stories of "The Chronicles of Otterion". This series spans the galaxy of Otterionous, the series is introduced on the planet Otteria and its unique inhabitants, the civilized Otters known as Otterions.
The Chronicles of Otteria
Our journey begins on the planet Otteria, a world filled with wonder and magic. Here, we meet Scribbarius Echo and Poem (last name TBD), along with Nyx, Jade, and other fascinating animal characters like Quill the owl, Inkblot the octopus, and others (TBD)
Meet Scribbarius Echo
Echo is a little brown Otterion with a unique perspective on life. Often found sitting alone on the sandy shore of SandScroll Sanctuary, he spends his days drawing intricate pictures in the sand. Echo’s creations are whimsical and imaginative, reflecting the boundless creativity that lies within him. Today, he draws a fish in a tree, a symbol of his ability to see the world through a different lens.
Life in SandScroll Sanctuary is not always peaceful. The sea lions, known for their boisterous and mischievous nature, often disrupt the tranquility of the beach. They bark loudly, causing a commotion, and take great pleasure in ruining Echo’s drawings. Despite these challenges, Echo’s resilience and determination shine through, making him a beloved character in our story.
Meet Poem
Poem is a young ocean Otterion with a wisdom that transcends her years. She carries the legacy of generations of Seascroll reading Otterions, a tradition steeped in the poetry and wisdom of the seas. Each morning, Poem stands on a large tree trunk that has washed up on the shores of SandScroll Sanctuary, reciting her morning affirmations to a gathering of eager Otterions.
Her recitals are a source of strength and unity for her community, here's an example of the first one:
"We are Otters, we are proud,
Sea lions bark it loud,
Otters control the crowd,
I'm an Otter, I am free,
Sea lions have nothing on me."
Poem’s affirmations strike a chord with the Otterions, allowing them to embrace their identities as Otters and not Otterions. Otterions and Otterians go way back, the otters chose to separate themselves by name. They say that they're from the Galaxy; Otterionous, and not the planet Otteria. While Otteria is a planet in the Galaxy: Otterionous.
Join the Adventure
The story of Poem and Echo is one of friendship, creativity, and resilience. As they navigate the challenges of life on Otteria, they discover that their greatest strengths lie in their unity and their ability to see beauty in the world around them.
Join me as I delve into the enchanting world of Otteria, where every sunrise brings new adventures and every echo holds the promise of a tomorrow filled with today's dreams. Stay tuned for more updates and stories from the shores of Otteria. I look forward to sharing this incredible adventure with you.
I aim to make this a free read, I wouldn't want a story like Scribble's Echo to be exclusive. Eventually, substack or Patreon will be the place to subscribe and get early access and snippets that might not be in the main series. I haven't picked a release date, as this is not a professional project. I'm just trying to hold on to this idea so I can share it with the world.
With warmth and wonder,
Scribble's Echo

Is where the story really begins, I'm calling this series a Chronicle, but I think it might just be a mega series. I have some big plans for these little Otterions. Poem and Scribblz' journey is only just beginning, and so is mine! I have some announcements to make very soon 😁
I can't believe how far it's evolved since then.
To update that, they lived on planet Otteria, they are Otterians. Sea lions are Otterions. The galaxy is still called Oterionous. I will not remove this welcome post because it captures the essence of my dream, and I can look back on this years from now, and write a new comment about how far it's evolved. ☮️ Hopefully. Until then, enjoy "The Chronicles of Otteria".
