Heads up! Don't comment weird shit on my books. Any mentions of topics such as incest, abuse of any kind, slurs (even if you're someone that can reclaim those slurs), other potentially triggering things that I can't even name right now - I'll delete your comment. I don't care.
          	
          	Also, if you think this isn't a big deal or that I'm overreacting and being too harsh... Well, I don't care either. Get it through your heads that some things just aren't appropriate to make light of, or just off-handedly mention in the comment section of One Piece one shots for that matter. Like... common sense. Please.
          	
          	There has been an increase in these for some reason lately. I've been deleting a lot of them. Please grow up.

(Taps mic) Uh... Hello? Is this thing on..? Anyone still following this account...?
          
          Well! Theatrics aside, hi, hello, I'm Cora, the owner and writer who doesn't write anymore despite their book having gotten a LOT of attention — it still is, by the way, that's nuts!
          
          Just a general life update before I vanish again (◎_◎;)
          
          I've got a job, woohoo! Full on 9:00-5:00 in an office, which understandably leaves me with little free time since I have to maintain a healthy sleep schedule as well. I'm adulting successfully though! Also recently celebrated my birthday — I'm 22 now, yay me! Time sure flies, huh.
          
          Regardless!
          
          I still hop on this account, mostly to read when I have time for myself and revisit old stories. I also check my notifications frequently, because while I may not write anymore, I don't want toxicity in the comments. I *will* call out bullshit and delete comments/block users if need be, so watch how you behave in my comments section! Cora's grown a spine of steel and isn't afraid to snap yours in half if it comes down to it. :)
          
          And, well, that's about it I suppose... >.>
          
          I appreciate all of you who still read my cringey one shots and even compliment them. Thank you very very much, from the bottom of my heart ♡
          
          — Cora

@Cora-InA-Box Congratulations on getting a job and happy belated birthday! I don't comment very often, but I felt like I just needed to if that makes any sense lol

UPDATE!
          
          dunno if you've noticed, but im not *nearly* as active as i used to be....be it because of college or my untreated (combined!)adhd, up to interpretation ^^;
          
          i check in on this account every now and then, see how things are going, but i don't read or write anymore. i dont think i'll ever write again, tbh, so much stuff i cannot bring myself to finish are just sitting in my drafts collecting dust... sad, really :I
          
           ...i gotta admit, looking back at what i've written (the one shots, mostly) it makes me cringe somewhat even if people still seem to enjoy them! i'm gonna be forever grateful for that. (38k reads and 1.7k votes! that's fucking insane!)
          
          i guess i just kinda fell out of this. writing and reading on here, that is. i think this account won't be used much anymore, if at all. sorry to the friends i made and havent messaged in fuckin AGES, and to anyone who might've been hoping for updates on the book.
          
          let my legacy of comment spamming on one piece fanfics live on (´∀`)
          
          goodbye (for the foreseeable future), and thank you for the constant support ♡♡

@-cora-san see you later! It was great to get to know you! <3 good luck with your future!!

i leave for a couple of days, and return to the one shot book at 36.4k reads and 1.4k votes...HOLY SHIT (great way to start 2021)
          
          i remember when it broke 100 and i was so happy, now it's in the thousands...bruh i can't describe how grateful i am for that ♡
          
          MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has voted, commented and read it, even if i haven't updated in aaaaages and don't know if i'll do so anytime soon cuz, y'know, college and shit...
          (and i'm not as much into OP as i used to be, so that's...a bit of motivation lost)
          
          ANYWAY!! just– thank you, so unbelievably much. the love shown to that book is incredible and warms my heart ♡(⌒▽⌒)

is it just me or has the holiday season this year not felt like holidays whatsoever? christmas is tomorrow (1:20am here, aka december 24th) and not a single time did i feel the ~magical festive spirit~

kimi_kaiyo

@-cora-san no i totally agree, it's like 2:31 pm here and I'm not excited whatsoever. to be honest; I just want holidays to be over.

@-cora-san rn it's 1.50am here (we live in the same time zone apparently) and I feel the same way. I haven't felt that magical festive spirit. not even once. maybe it's bc 2020 has been a shitty year and no-one has the energy to deal with corona anymore and then there's the christmas fuss and all that. we just don't have the energy to deal with it all anymore :'D

today i found out that Yale performed a "study" on autistic toddlers, in which they actually *terrified* the poor babies to see how they'd react in comparison to non-autistic/neurotypical toddlers.
          and that's fucking disgusting. "studies" and practices like this were deemed unethical even multiple decades ago, bordering a whole *century*, so why are they still being done? especially by such a prestigious and well known university?
          it got so bad that some parents begged the school to remove their kids from the process entirely, but of course the requests were turned down. Yale then proceeded to block people & restricted comments on their instagram posts.
          it disgusts me, and it should do the same to you. mentally scarring autistic toddlers in the name of "research" is unacceptable.
          
          sincerely, an autistic adult. fuck yale. fuck this type of "research". and fuck autism speaks.

@ CurlyPanda-Nats  i'm not sure, but knowing that yale is such a well known university and whatnot i dont doubt that either..and even so, it's absolutely infuriating ://
