So let me get this straight: we lost Hayden Panettiere last week... now in the span of 72 hours, we lost Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and now Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime)?! 
          	
          	Whoever said live 2026 like 2016, you needed to fucking specify who was gonna fucking die!

I updated Popularity Contest for the month - and there's no shock that Flicker and Another Level were the two most popular stories this month. No real shockers this month. I will say this is the first month where all my F&F stories are on the list, so that's something.

You know what I hate? That I'm not writing. But every time I try to write, I can't. I can't keep taking breaks, so I don't know what to do. I still have two weeks to write the chapters I need for September but goddammit, my motivation for anything is completely gone. 
          
          I really have no idea what to do. Should I just keep staying on this hiatus until my motivation comes back? Should I just post whenever I want for the rest of the year? Like when I feel like writing, I'll write then post... 
          
          Any suggestions?

@shinylee That's what I'm gonna do - I haven't done that in years, I've always been a schedule girl, but honestly, I think the whole schedule thing is fucking with me. It's time for a change, even if it is just for the rest of this year.

@PaperrStarrs It might sound stupid but try voice to text its what helps me when i want to write but I cant it also makes me pay more attention when Im editing
            
            But do whatever is best for you dont put writing above your mental health

@PaperrStarrs I believe the second one is better than forcing yourself, or waiting around for motivation to strike. You and your mental health comes first. We love you and your writing, but we also need you to be okay.

Have you guys watched any good Asian dramas lately? I'm feeling my urge to get back into watching dramas again.

@PaperrStarrs aww ✨ I'm really looking forward to JossGawin's upcoming series Round One as well, and honestly Gmmtv has never been my kinda thing either, I've always been a BOC girly (sadly enough they don't do series too often, but I'd take quality over quantity any day) and one31 has been coming up with great series these days as well

@Soonchu I watch literally anything from any country, outside of historical, to a certain point, it has to be the "right" historical elements of me. (I don't do Chinese historical or wuxia). 
            
            I've heard that both of those are good. Added to the growing list... nearly at 200 dramas/movies to watch. I've seen Be My Favorite, I love Krist and Gawin. 
            GMMTV can have some hits in there, that is one of them of me. I tend to stay away from GMMTV unless it's GawinJoss and SingtoKrist stuff.

@PaperrStarrs you do watch Thai bls right? I recently watched Flower Boy and Love Of Silom, they were decent. From old Gmmtv series, I watched Be My Favourite a few weeks ago, I was genuinely surprised by how well thought and put together it was considering it came from Gmmtv.
            
            Among kdramas, I finished Teach You A Lesson, which was fine, a good comedy action. But I guess I'm too used to seeing thriller high school series like Juvenile Justice, If Wishes Could Kill, Extracurricular and more, cuz those were straight up bomb.

Not that many people care about this but some *good* F11 news! Finally! ANOTHER script has been made, and apparently made Diesel cry, yet the director hasn't seen it. But hey! At least there's a script now, 'cause for a while, I'm pretty sure that there's been at least six scripts up in the air since F10's release. 
          
          One step closer. Maybe I'll be able to take the question marks off my stories 'cause they look tacky.
          
          Now... I would LOVE more details, with Diesel finally being happy with a script - still think he's too involved with the production side of things, but whatever. One step closer, let's hope this train doesn't stop short again.

Okay, if you are gonna be blatantly ableist towards one of my characters, you will be blocked. No question, no take backs. This also goes for being homophobic or racist towards any of my characters (AND readers). 
          
          Let's chat: there's been someone in my comments saying some very shitty things about my OCs. Look, it's fine not to like the actions of my characters or their storylines, but if you are gonna say Mila shouldn't be dating because she's autistic, to an *autistic author*, bitch, it's on sight. No, we're not doing that here. 
          
          I can tolerate a lot - I can deal with the comments of calling Bea a bad mom, how somebody thought that Levi wanted in Vi's pants (when he didn't, *ever*), how people hate Keir. I can deal with a lot, but there's a thin line between saying what's on your mind and being a horrible person.
          
          I WILL NOT tolerate blatant ableism, I WILL NOT tolerate racism of ANY kind towards my current and future POCs, I WILL NOT tolerate homophobia towards any of queer characters. And that also goes for my readers. If you say one bad thing about my readers (thankfully no one has, but the day is still young. There are horrible people online, including on here.), you will be blocked. 
          
          I hate to use the term "safe place" because "safe places" on the internet do not exist anymore. But if someone reads my stories, follows me, I want them to feel welcome, even if it is just for a few minutes. I don't want them to read comments that may seem like I'm allowing those topics to be said without consequence.

PS: This is the first time this has happened - in all my years of writing and posting, have I had someone be ableist like this. And no, no one has been racist or homophobic in my comments, but just know my stance on it after today's incident. It won't fly here.
