OMG GOT THE NOTIFICATION FOR WAIT FOR ME. IT'S BACK!!! I'm so happy<3
@teaorjuice thankss ❤️ I'm finally confident in the direction of the story to start reposting it so I hope it's fun to reread before i start up the new chapters :)
Following up on a question I asked last week about y’all’s reading habits. I came across this YouTube video called “Why People Stopped Reading.” It goes over the current decline of reading in the US, how children are ineffectively taught to read, and how social media pretty much eliminated the need to “read for fun.” Pretty interesting and short video.

@Colorwool I've seen YouTube videos like this and it is very interesting to see and understand why people nowadays are not reading or not reading enough. especially kids. But yeah pretty much everything is on social media now and things are not how they used to be. Like I remember when I was a kid we would read books for school and we read in class but I guess now it's just not the same anymore
Do you guys read a lot outside of wattpad? Or even on wattpad? I’ve always liked to write but honestly I don’t read that much. I used to, but now I find it hard to pick up a book and actually finish it.
What about y’all? Do you read traditional books or just fanfiction? Or are you weird like me and hardly read at all?
@cherrybabeluv exactly!!! I also have a shorter attention span these days so I find it hard to just sit and read. Tbh I think that’s why I’m such a slow writer too because I get really distracted when it comes to editing since I have to read everything over and over.
@Colorwool I used to looove reading but I can't focus so well anymore and when I have free time I choose all my other hobbies above it :(
Editing the booker scenes in the 21JS fic and god, reading his dialogue back is so cringe I see why y’all hate him I get it now lol
@teaorjuice yeah idk why I wrote him like that lmao I wanted to make him a little annoying but I think I leaned a little too far cuz now I’m kinda sick of him xD but tbh idk if I’ll change it too much he is kinda funny
@Colorwool it's literally like you come up with the best thing ever in your head but once it comes to the actual writing- yeah no. Lol it's like my mind goes blank once I try to start writing
Btw, if you’re 18+ in the USA, DONT FORGET TO VOTE by Tuesday if you haven’t already.
I don’t like to bring up politics on here or really in my stories, but I’ve been listening to hella musical soundtracks today (I’m a theater girlie✨) and there was a common theme throughout.
Whether it was Rent, Back to the Future, Some like it Hot, or Hairspray—there is always a focus on the effects of the marginalized communities or “outsiders” due to the state of society. Black and brown ppl, LGBT ppl, people who just don’t conform to the norms of society. Which is a common theme in most musicals, but ig it just hits a little different since we’re so close to Election Day.
The final song in the hairspray movie that plays over the credits talks about how far we’ve come, but how far we still have to go. And with how close the presidential race is between the two candidates this year, we’re way too close to taking a step backwards once again.
So yeah, vote if you can and are able. And if you’re voting for trump, unfollow me :)
What did you guys dress up as for Halloween? I’m Daphne from Scooby-Doo ✨
@teaorjuice yeah tbh k wasn’t in the Halloween spirit this year but I decided to dress up anyway and it was super fun ✨
@Colorwool I wish I dressed up, but I didn't!! :( Hopefully next year - I can get an idea. Daphne from Scooby Doo sounds so fun! <3
I absolutely love the new cover for 21JS "Wait For Me" omg ❤️❤️
Been revamping the aesthetics of all the stories I unpublished. Been having a lot of fun so far. I’m hoping to be finished with the rewrites by December to start posting again ✨
@thesunflowerlegacy yeah I kinda unpublished everything on a whim sorry I didn’t make an announcement. I’m on the fence about reviving the little mermaid story but the Jump Street and the BTTF books will be back up soon ❤️
@Coolwool I was wondering where the little mermaid book and the back to the future book went. That’s good to know I can’t wait ❤️
