Two years off and I logged on just to check I still have one (1) braincell dedicated to remembering my login. 
          	
          	Still writing, just been busy with schoolwork and things. Might migrate to another platform to publish things, but I'm not sure yet.
          	
          	Hope everyone who reads this is doing well, and if not -- you will be. If it feels dark, it will get better. I've had to relearn that getting through today is enough. Just wait til it does get better and we go from there.
          	
          	Stay safe :)

I may have been inactive on wattpad, but that doesn't mean I've been a complete recluse. (Er... actually... well...)
          
          No, but in all seriousness, I refuse to allow this racist oppression to continue. It's about time something positive happens in 2020. Even after blackout Tuesday, black lives still matter. They will always matter.
          https://www.wattpad.com/898171817-news-updates-june-3-2020-black-lives-matter says it well. Please check out some of the resources linked here! As well as 
          https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
          
          Take action and keep learning; everyone can do something. Even if, like me, you're not in a position to donate or protest (SAFELY, I HOPE!), you can still sign petitions (for free!) and support in other ways, like watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM
          Use the YouTube app and don't skip those ads, as they're gonna do the money-raising for you. (You can see where the ad revenue will go in the description.)
          
          Finally, to my black friends: It's really hard to know what to say, because nothing I could say would heal or reverse the generations of violence and injustice. But now's your time. For now and forever, your voices will be heard.
          
          Everybody stay safe! :)

I just deleted a message from a few weeks ago that went along the lines of, 
          
          "I spent a long time designing a character for a cover and now it looks a bit too edgy but hey ho I can update that later"
          
          Except I was only trying to delete the message before that because a link wasn't working and now I'm kinda annoyed and don't know whether to blame the wattpad interface or my laptop

That was a bit more terrifying than I'd anticipated, actually. I didn't realise I'd have to verify with my password and all that jazz. But I finally pulled it off: ## Username change, whoooo! ##
          
          Apologies if it causes issues accessing my works or anything. It shouldn't last too long (24 hours at most). 
          
          I know it looks like I've been deceased for a few years, but I have been working on things, I promise. It's just... in early stages and I feel as if I'd regret publishing spontaneously like usual because,,, the plot isn't actually that clear to me yet oooops.
          
          Reasoning for the change: I thought this'd be a bit more handy because I do art under this username and it'd get a bit annoying having to clarify every time, "I am Conflag Blitz and also Dys Illu... so I did this art under one name and this story under another..."
          
          ...oh, and if I ever get Welcome To Reality up and running again, I'd feel odd referring to the character whose persona is Conflagration because it then feels like he's more of a self-insert than a character with his own separate motivations and development arcs.
          
          I'm actually planning to incorporate more of my own art into stories -- namely, creating memes as well as covers. But we'll see if I ever get to publishing anything lol
          
          (Though whilst we're on that topic, I reckon I'll keep any covers with my old username just for nostalgia. And out of pure laziness.)
          
          With that all said and done, it's time to eat, contemplate life and go regret my life decisions. Hope you all have a great rest of the day! 
          Formerly Conflagration_Blitz, Illu out!

I log in for the first time in a month and find 78 notifications, 60 of which are Halloween related.
          Yes, it's that time of the year. Time to break out the costumes, stock up on sweet things and do absolutely nothing.
