I can't believe that we live in a society where Taylor being happily married to a wholesome man who always supports and celebrates her career is somehow considered bad for them, simply because Taylor also celebrates and supports her husband's career just like he supports hers. Twitter is just a mental illness, I guess.

For the record, I think it’s awesome that they’re so supportive of each other 💕

@JessKnitz I opened the app to see updates of my favorite singers or even my favorite characters, yet there are always weirdo who spew negativity and ruin the wholesomeness. It's like we can't even enjoy just simple wholesome things on Twitter without people being mad/negative (sorry for venting)

I legit saw people on X/Twitter shaming people for reading straight ship fics on AO3. Gosh, some of these people are now using woke word salad to justify hating F/M ships. And I swear, a lot of them aren’t actually progressive—they just want to justify their preference for yaoi while dressing it up in progressive language and pretending their dislike of female characters or F/M ships is somehow political.

@JessKnitz Not gonna lie, a lot of their “queer” ships aren’t actually queer characters; they’re often canonically straight characters, or even real people, who are twisted to fit a fantasy. For example, if two men are canonically married to women in a manga or TV show, they’ll rewrite one of them as cheating on his wife and somehow frame it as “progressive.” People can ship whoever they want, but calling that progressive while shaming other ships is hypocritical

My new story: "Holy Ground" coming soon-
          
          Thirteen years ago, during a summer vacation in Okinawa, teenage Sakura met a quiet, reserved farm boy named Sasuke Uchiha. Living a simple life and devoted to his family's farm, Sasuke kept himself closed off from the rest of the world. When summer came to an end, they parted ways and eventually lost all contact.
          
          Thirteen years later, after chasing their dreams and enduring heartbreak, loss, and life's unexpected hardships, fate brings them together again in the most unexpected way.
          
          There is an old legend surrounding the Holy Ground—a place said to grant the deepest wish of anyone who visits with a sincere heart. But now, after everything they've been through, Sakura and Sasuke share only one dream:
          
          To spend the rest of their lives together.
          
          Will the legend finally make their greatest wish come true?

Regarding my new story, it takes way longer to finish it. I don't want to post new stories that are unfinished, so I think it will be way longer than I plan. Plus I need to prioritize my mental health and rest properly and do other things that are more important. So I plan to take a break (regarding posting brand new stories). The ones that are already published here in Wattpad are already finished in my computer draft so it will upload regularly as usual

My next story will be posted exclusively on AO3 because it deals with very adult themes—not in the sense of sexual content, but in terms of the struggles, relationships, workplace issues, marriage, family dynamics, and other aspects of life that are more relevant to adults, particularly those in their late 20s and early 30s, around my age.
          
          I feel that many Wattpad readers are quite young, and from my experience, some of them don't always understand the complexity or nuance behind certain dialogues and situations in my stories. Because of that, I'm worried that they might not fully understand or appreciate the message I'm trying to convey in my next story either.
          
          I've also seen some young readers refer to people in their late 20s as "middle-aged," which makes me wonder how they would perceive someone in their 50s or 60s. If they already consider people in their late 20s to be middle-aged, it makes me feel that they may not yet have enough life experience to understand the themes and nuances I want to explore in this particular story.

One thing that is very obvious, yet often brushed off by the misogynistic side of the Naruto fandom, is that Sakura and Sasuke were very, very close during the genin era. She was literally the only woman Sasuke opened up to about his traumatic past. Of course, haters dismiss this because they focus on Sakura saying that Naruto was annoying—even though Naruto was an orphan, he was also extremely mannerless at that point in the story.
          
          Sakura was also the one who was able to reach Sasuke when the Orochimaru's chakra was almost consuming him, and Sasuke later saw Sakura being beaten in his dreams. It feels obvious that Kishimoto was trying to show that their hearts were connected on a deeper level than simple friendship or platonic affection, almost like they were soulmates. But of course, the fandom brushes all of this aside because they already dislike Sakura.
          
          It also makes perfect sense that Sasuke ultimately chose Sakura and no other woman. If you understand their history from the very beginning, there are so many subtle moments that point toward his feelings for her. For example, Sasuke blushed when Sakura talked about her crush on him. I think it is obvious that there was something deeper between them, even during the genin era. Sasuke simply tried to suppress or deny his feelings for Sakura because he was so consumed by his desire for revenge.

Also, bringing them into a modern AU or modern setting gives me much more room for creativity. I could even change their names and turn them into my original characters in the future, then publish the story as an original romance novel. Teehee.

I feel like I need to bring them into a modern AU because Kishimoto's ninja world did not give their relationship the space it deserved. I want to explore what their bond could look like in a world where they are not constantly being torn apart by war, revenge, trauma, and the demands of the shinobi system.

@OpaliteRey I think I want to delve deeper into this bond and bring it into a modern setting. Their "friendship"—which I personally believe was more than friendship even during the genin era—along with their closeness and the fact that Sakura was arguably the only woman Sasuke considered family from the beginning, deserves to be explored more deeply.
