Hey guys
Guess who’s a graduate
Crazy couple years. Tragically had to neglect you all
Most of the people that I was friends with or used to write for probably aren’t even on here anymore. I can’t believe I’m 21 and still running the account at all (considering I was 14 when I first joined wattpad)
It’s really gone downhill, used to be so good and free.
Anyways I’m away in Florida rn and hoping to get some writing done bc I do want to come back. It will still be quite casual because I’m a very busy person but I realised I missed my writing escapism.
I’ve mostly been using exercise to get by the last few years, and I’ve realised it’s just not as comforting as switching off to write- though it does give me enough dopamine to do other things

This account is pretty dead huh?
I might come back just right now dealing with some pretty terrible depression
Things are really tough right now and have been for a while. Honestly the last year or two has fucked me up more than before
I have a lot to say but no motivation to say it
I miss writing it was always my outlet
I reckon I’ll pump out a few chapters eventually
But for now I just need to get my shit together
If anyone’s still here, thanks for sticking with me, I’ll see you in my next chapter, whatever that’ll be x

It’s been a few days now but I can’t believe Maggie Smith is gone. I grew up on Harry Potter and nannie McPhee and the big bang. She felt immortal, honestly she went too soon. she will forever be our Mcgonagall. Thank you Maggie for helping to fill our childhoods with magic.
I can’t believe another cast member has passed so soon.

Awful time. I swear I could come back with a huge story abt why I’ve been gone but no one cares
Will Levi ever write again? Yes
When he’s done having his mental breakdown

Guys I’m in hell
I got incorrectly given the lowest pass grade (having to dispute it bc it was graded 2 fkin bands higher)
And the lab tutor for the report I’m submitting late (due to a shit show of a year) has taken THE ENTIRE MONTH OFF
5th July (results day and when the due date was released) until 5th August- the due date of the report
Seriously this uni
How tf do they get away with it-
Every tutor I’ve contacted has taken annual leave starting on results day which is just such a horrendous thing to do- as any student will know
Sometimes you need support and clarity on grades and I have no one I know to contact lol

@DracoIsAFerret it’s ok, don’t apologize for ranting. its horrible that u won’t have accommodations :( perhaps u could ask if u could bring noise cancelling headphones or ask to be facing a wall where u can’t see others to hopefully minimize distractions but obviously it won’t get rid of everything. that seems soo stressful.

@spinalcordsword pretty much- luckily the lady on one of the teams WAS helpful and actually apologised and made sure I was okay after the grade incident More than anyone else has done So that’s being sorted now As for the assignment I’m on my own Having a full blown mental breakdown And for this test I’m doing outside of uni I won’t be having my access needs for my adhd met so I’m likely to perform badly Keep in mind my access needs being met enable me to finish exams and actually do well, got me my first A* etc Without them I can barely answer papers bc too much noise and I get rlly over stimulated and angry to the point I can feel it im my arms that o have to throw something Even in silence if someone kicks their leg I can’t focus im acc awful Anxiety is high Sorry to rant I’m just like- I need an outlet

@DracoIsAFerret they should get multiple tutors and have them stagger their breaks that way someone will be available to help you. it is unfair that they claim to help people but then leave you when u have an important assignment, it seems like the tutors are just there to say that they have support networks, without them actually helping. good luck

Honestly fuck this stupid fucking app
It’s the ads after every chapter for me
Removing the social aspects too
I miss 2018 wattpad before all this bs
I might move to tumblr bc I can’t get along with ao3
DracoIsAFerret
@spinalcordsword they’re so so so greedy it’s crazy It defo should be kinda like YouTube where we get a certain % of ad revenue Or get to choose not to have ads on our stories and not get money- simple as But here we are, selfish owners and developers tbh

@DracoIsAFerret i agree, they should have had another solution instead of getting rid of dms, but idk if they could afford it. they seem to be rlly greedy LOL. i think they should pay authors, somewhat like youtube does.

@TenTwentyEightpm frfr- and moderating dms isn’t hard you can ban specific words n content etc, by removing the feature it just means people will target profiles and books of minors and seek access to platforms where pics/vids can be sent Can also age restrict them like they do with other content which will reduce the amount of people that can access younger people- or do it on a friends basis- only people that follow each other can dm etc. But Yh fr it’s like They make you disclose that I ta your original work And then put ads on it and take all the money I might genuinely start posting on tumblr
