Haru Nikko (日光春)

To my loyal TCOTRB/AMANDI readers:
          
          
          I want to remind y'all that since I got caught up on laundry day, PART 7-8 of Chapter XIV will be moved over to June 5th — which also marks the first week of Pride Month ... Woohoo! ※️‍٩(ˊᗜˋ)و ♡※
          
          I know, I know! It sucks but life tends to get in the way sometimes. I didn't expect that I'd be doing a couple of weeks' worth of laundry today and have just recovered from a very depressive week. I am just totally exhausted (╥﹏╥)
          
          Here's hoping things go smoothly moving forward so I am able to finally finish the book until Juneteenth (June 19th). As for those aiming to join the Wattys this summer, wish you luck!  ੈ✩‧₊˚.

Howdy everyone! In case you guys haven’t seen it, Chapter XIV (PART 4-6) are finally out. 
          I also do apologize for the lack of art for these recent updates due to my busy schedule ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´人｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
          
          On an unrelated note, ever heard about the recent AI controversy surrounding Jorge Gutierrez? Like c’mon dude! I thought you hated AI but since it’s Amazon, it seems he got blinded by money and decided to join the dark side.

[UPDATES ✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚]
          
          
          
          WHOA WHOA WHOA! DOUBT MY EYES "AMANDI" HAS 33.33% OF READERS FROM SWEDEN?!! (°△° ꪱꪱꪱ)
          
          
          Even though the engagement for the recent chapters hasn't been that great (likely due to how fried people's attention spans are and the slow expositions definitely turned them off), at least the last one proved to be an improvement. This was like when the gang finally arrived at Fresca (Circa IV) to track down Milo, Oliver and Chirag.
          
          I am hoping today's latest updates will do it justice. Chapter XIV (PART 4-6) will be dropping at 13:00 (GMT+4)/17:00 (GMT+8)/19:00 (GMT+10). As I'm writing this, AMANDI already has 837 views.

GREETINGS AND HAPPY EID AL-ADHA, EVERYONE!  · ⋆.˚ ☾⭒.˚ ·
          
          
          As for our lovely neighbors in the UAE, Philippines and Europe, hope y’all stay cool and hydrated. Also, don’t forget to check out Chapter XIV today (^_−)−☆
          
          By the way, this summer has been a total hell for me and no, it’s not because of the heat. I am mostly jobless so hopefully I’d get a nice offer anytime soon *fingers crossed x(>__<)x*. 
          
          A lot of jobs out there probably looked at me and thought I wasn’t a great author. However, my dream as an author and artist still remains. Whether I become famous or not, just being able to share my craft and inspire others is enough. 

Ladies and gentleman … Eid Al-Adha Mubarak! ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
          
          In case you haven’t seen it, Chapter XIV of AMANDI is already out! This is going to be a rather suspenseful chapter as Chirag, Oliver and Milo all set out on a secret journey to Basco where they are about to uncover the mysteries of the Moneta Archives. However, they’re not alone though and little do they know they’re being followed.

[°:₊˚.⋆☾ SPECIAL UPDATES ⋆⁺₊✧ ·]
          
          
          
          
          While I should probably be in bed by now, I hope you guys don’t miss the initial release of Chapter XIV of AMANDI during Eid (May 26/29/31). 
          
          Yes, the holiday is celebrated for up to 4 days! However, other non-Muslim countries like the Philippines only celebrate it for one day. 
          
          Anyway, this has been Haru Nikko signing off! ฅ₍^•⩊ •マⳊ✨

Oh my! Looks like somebody got freaked out by the TADC leak warning *does a Wendy smug face (≖⩊≖)*
          
          
          Kidding aside, I am not trying to spook y’all but rather informing you the recent fiasco with the latest episode of the show. My apologies to anyone who might’ve been upset by the news.
          
          To those who may not be in the know, the Brazilian dub for TADC ep 9 was leaked. What is even infuriating is how some fans thought Glitch deserved it for making others wait for weeks before releasing it on YouTube. 
          
          If people can’t even wait for a week to catch the latest episode or chapter of their favorite book/comic, then we’re all cooked as a society! So please be careful and if you ever see any leaks, block them at all cost. 
          
          As for TADC, bringing it to theaters is a very monumental event for indie animation.   
          
          I know it’s kind of weird to be talking about an animated series on a writing app like Wattpad but I bet there are many people here who are fans of the show as well. Animation is just as important in our culture and deserves a lot of love.
          
          This isn’t the first time that a similar leak happened involving the upcoming ATLA movie. The suspect was later jailed. 

WOOHOO! It’s almost Eid ✧°:₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ · 
          
          Hopefully, I’ll be able to publish Chapter XIV of AMANDI during the holidays. As to not bombard my readers, I’ll be releasing them into multiple chunks. (P.S. To anyone on Twitter, please be wary of any TADC leaks! T__T)

If you think it’s fair to cause harm and ruin somebody’s life solely because you find them undesirable, then you’re no better than the person who has actually inconvenience you. 
          
          In my case, I’ve had people say it’s justified for them to beat me up all because I have anger issues who won’t take sh** from anyone, trouble making friends and born with the most punchable and ugliest face they’ve ever seen. 
          
          It’s as if they’ve convinced themselves that I’m this total war freak who hurts people and hates her job when it’s the total opposite. I can’t always be at my best and usually others just lack awareness of how they’re coming off.
          
          This is why it’s so important to take a step back and give someone the benefit of the doubt. 
          
          Sometimes, that person you’re mad at might not be your enemy and is struggling just as you are. Maybe they’re confused and frightened who just need some guidance, not fear and violence. 

Speaking from experience, I am just glad my family and I weren’t celebrities. Fame just never fails to bring the worst out of everyone. 
          
          Not everyone deserves the spotlight otherwise it will just feed into their egos and take a toll on their mental health. In my case, I would be drowning in several scandals all due to the fact I don’t act like a bride and shut up when people treat me like sh**. 
          
          God forbid their li’l retirement plan have brief meltdowns and defend themselves without it being seen as a threat to society. If a kid wanting some alone time and pursuing careers against your wishes are already a step too far for you, then you don’t deserve them.
