Broken - Raekkuno oneshots

10K message

This month has been crazy for me.

Quarell. Quibble. Let's be honest: finding words starting with 'q' itself is annoying enough. Then this suddenly entered into most of our lives in 2020 - Quarantine. (I know I know there are positive words starting with Qs but for heaven's sake it's for the effect)

On Wikepedia there is a list of deaths due to Coronavirus. It started with Wuhan. Ended today in Eswatni. And it will continue. God knows how long this will end.

Then I discovered something called Among Us.

Sykkuno. Rae. OTV. Corpse. Just Friends. 100 Thieves. 

Oh. There's a ship called Raekkuno.

Oh. I fell for it.

Oh. No more videos about Raekkuno left unwatched.

I'm pretty sure that most of you guys might probably not be aware of this, but a website with the darkest side of all boats and ships suddenly came to my mind. 

Btw it's called Wattpad, just FYI.

There was only 1 story with 1 chapter when I first checked. After a month it increased to 3, all with 1-2 chapters. Nothing much going on.

No patience left. I wrote my first oneshot, Movies, on the 28th of Dec.

You see, my growth had been pretty steady throughout the first two oneshots. Always these two people voting. Thank you, loveonlymybbys and BlondieGod. You think I'd forget the ones who support a newbie with less than 100 views? Never.

I've never known how the release of Among Us - the Decision could literally change the way I feel towards my writing skills, towards my imagination, and even towards the way I look at myself.

Boom. First compliments. , ImLogic. Thank you. You think I'd forget the ones taught me that non-natives can also move people with words? Never.

And other milestones started rushing through like when you removed the stone covering a water source in Minecraft. (This analogy sucks) First fanart, first DM, first request. Sorry for not continuing the list of people I'm thankful to, because it would take ages. I would love to thank each of you individually, if possible. Those of you who commented 10 seconds after publishing. Those of you who somehow made my views increase by almost 1K overnight. Those of you who slid into my notifications when voting for Movies - Pt.1 and ended up in Mafia - Epilogue after two hours. Thank you. I'm not gonna mention when I became #1 in Sykkuno or #6 in Videogames. Because they are just numbers. 

Those comments. Those who spotted my subtle foreshadowings. Those who laughed at my lame references. Those who cried for my savageness. Those were what motivated and are still motivating me.

Less than 1 month. That's how long it took for me to change the way I viewed the world. Don't get me wrong, I am loved by many, friends and family, but it's the first time when I realised that there are people out there, from New Zealand on the bottom right to Canada on the top left, appreciating me purely because of my work. 

You guys, each one of you, have encouraged and pushed me to do better. Tell the me on Dec 28th that I would start to spend hours coming up with an appropriate of flower for Sykkuno to throw up, or google components of a pistol (and yes, sometimes I lack common sense), and I wouldn't believe it. At all.

The moment of hitting 10K wasn't, surprisingly, as dramatic as I've imagined if I were to reach it one day. True, what did I do except writing? And how could I write better without your support?

This is why I began to understand what Sykkuno said when he hit 2 mil.

"I wish I could say I did something, but I really didn't. All I could say is, thank a bunch, guys."

So, yeah. 12.2K is a bit late, but thanks a bunch, guys. I appreciate you all. 

Sorry for such a long message, but so many things I'm grateful for have occurred in the past few days and I don't want to miss anything out.

Bonus gift: Face reveal!

Anyways, stay safe and once again, thank you guys. I can't reply to any comments because I need to sleep now but I will see them sooner or later :)
