          Do you understand?

Friendship ended with Winx Club. This is a Batfam fan page now (until I inevitability return to my Winx Club phase once again).

The most unfortunate part of liking media with a large main cast is it is damn near impossible to find fans who like or truly understand half, let alone all, of the cast. Frequently, you'll find fans who really get Character A, but hearing anything they have to say about Character B gives you brain damage. Even worse when two or more characters are frequently done dirty in the fandom and you realise finding a safe space for one does not mean you've found a safe space for the others.

Woah... So, it's highly likely most of my readers are not my followers. But, regardless, I'm throwing out thanks into the universe for the 10+ reads I've gotten on the three books I've published these past few weeks. 
          
          I'm currently in a state of creative apathy where I just publish half-baked ideas or old works I don't know what to do with. So I'm a bit baffled cuz I've seen books with more effort get less people to peek inside. But I genuinely appreciate it nonetheless ❤️

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THERE’S A LIMIT TO THE TAGS YOU CAN BLOCK FROM YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS????

Wattpad has such a completely and utterly useless filter and recommendation system. 
          
          I'll literally mute or block an account after reading the description of exactly one story. Only for my homepage to start recommending 18 of their books under "Stories from writers you love" even though I literally cannot view the stories with them blocked. 
          
          This has happened to me 3 times in the past few months.
          
          One of the many reasons Wattpad could never compare to Ao3. If I tell Ao3 to mute an author, all of their works get blasted from my view, with only a note at the top to say some works may not be visible because I muted them. Good.

Saw a Tumblr post that was like, "Chose a hill, but I won't die on it. Feel free to come and be killed on my hill." And that honestly summarises my fandom mood for 2026.
          
          Happy Late New Year ❤️✨️

"Shh~ I can fix you. I can make you sooo good," I say as I pull up two separate documents, each filled with word vomit, and continue plotting my Winx Club and Batman rewrites respectively. "When I'm done, you'll be at least 75% better. Just trust me bro." (I am not to be trusted.)

Trying to edit and format drafts on Wattpad mobile is its very own circle of hell. I highlight one word and align it centre. It works for all of three minutes before the alignment of the entire chapter also becomes centre. And then I turn into Sisyphus, trying in vain to format every line and paragraph, but I can never finish because I keep having to go back and fix the same lines and paragraphs!!!!
          
          And this is why I edit everything on desktop smh. If it looks like ass on mobile then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally got around to pirating the first 13 episodes of the Winx reboot, and... Tbh, I actually enjoyed watching it more than I ever enjoyed watching anything from seasons 5-8 of the original series. That probably has to do with the fact that it's a full reboot rather than a retcon or continuation. It never set out to align itself strongly with the original series, so changes feel a lot less irritating and easier to accept. 
          
          It's not my new favourite show or anything. There's jarring animation issues, especially when characters have to move swiftly. I wanted to bash my head against the wall whenever the fairies flew or a character tried to dance, because it looked BAD. And changes to the plot/characters/worldbuilding ranged from being neutral to being far less compelling than the original (tho not necessarily bad in every case). But while I'd have preferred to have Riven return to his role as "villains' pawn" instead of Damien; and I disliked that Musa seemed more concerned with her dad than her own love of music, and god herself couldn't convince me to accept this take on Tecna... I didn't hate the show for these things. I was still entertained enough to keep watching. Also, the physical affection between the Winx was really cute at times. And there were things that made me smile fondly or laugh. And I lowkey want to write fanfiction based specifically on the reboot now lol 
          
          Anyway, I might do a full breakdown of my thoughts someday. But for now... 6/10. Not crazy about it, but I didn't hate it.
