Transitioning from full hiatus status to semi-hiatus status. So some scheduled uploads for SBD 2 will be up but no major updates for now. Return from hiatus completely will be on Juna 21 with new schedule to boot. Keep an eye out on June 19 for a major Quotev overhaul. Have a good Memorial Day weekend.

It's a little late, but happy Cinco de Mayo and Children's Day!

Happy May The Fourth Be With You Day!

Sorry for the sudden radio silence and lack of SBD story uploads when I claimed earlier it would be a "big dump", guys, but school work, paying tuition, and a search for a job has been killing me on the inside...like...like..."saying 'thanks, you too' to a barista at a Starbucks after getting your drink" killing. If you have anxiety, you know the feeling. I wouldn't know as I have never been inside a Starbucks or café or coffee shop ever, but I think the analogy was best suited for this. 
          
          So I am taking a short hiatus until late May to early June to recalibrate my schedule and get things sorted. I'll still reply to comments, post special days, and more but no story uploads. Putting my foot down, guys, I know you...like my Star, Bird, Dragon series (I hope) but I need time. And ideas, you can give me ideas; you can be my muses any time. Like, for anything I write, short stories, oneshots, anything. And share with me your thoughts on shows like Miraculous, TADC, cartoons from your childhood and nostalgia even from a time forgotten (I know there's a word for the opposite of nostalgia about a love for a time you didn't grow up in, but I cannot think of the term so help me if you can), and other things happening in pop culture.
          
          Like The Miraculous Journalist, I don't trust news stations like FOX or CNN because I don't trust the government (do not get me started on the government, it'll be a whole manifesto and I'm already a political outcast as a bystander in my Republican family) and I don't like politics, so for more lighthearted news, I choose YouTube for my news in the entertainment industry; the one I'm recommended the most is Vailskibum, who gives you enriching short videos about indie animation, games, shows, etc. and serves as a break from news about wars and political nonsense. I'm not trying to push some agenda, but we all need to take care of ourselves mentally to survive in this world now. So let me have my rest.
          
          Thanks and bye!

Happy Arbor Day, one of the most overlooked holidays on the calendar unless you're an environmentalist XD

Happy Earth Day, y'all! Arbor Day is just around the corner, but let's focus on the holiday everyone remembers more out of the two! XD
          
          Post something you do on Earth Day to help this literal dumpster fire we call a planet like planting trees, decreasing your carbon footprint, or something a hippie would've done back in their day, or talk about an environmental issue happening in your country or neighborhood and how you could prevent it. Either way, you're all better than me when it comes to protecting the environment.
          
          Also has anyone else done a scavenger hunt with an app with a goose logo every Earth Day including silly little tasks? Because I did a lot of those on Earth Day in high school.

Happy Bat Appreciation Day! Bats are in my top five favorite animals list and I believe they get such a bad rap like pigeons, raccoons, and possums such as being rabies carriers (only <5% actually carry rabies) and habitat destruction taking away their homes so of course, they want to move into our homes for some rest and we have to kick them out because they're "scary" (ever seen one of those videos where someone opens a certain part of their house and a cascade of bats fly out? that's funny and cool). And in an age where honeybees and monarch butterflies and other species are slowing facing extinction or animals are losing their homes to deforestation and pollution, it's time we protect the less-than-cute-or-more-scary creatures, starting with the bats. Protect the bats!
          
          Now, for Bat Appreciation Day, here are some bat facts, enjoy:
          - A bat's wing motion is closer to a breaststroke than a bird flap. High-speed footage shows them pushing air rather than slicing through it, giving them insane maneuverability.
          - If a vampire bat fails to feed, it can die in 48–72 hours. So they beg from friends, who regurgitate blood into their mouths (gross but better than dying). They remember who helped them and repay the favor later.
          - A bat's echolocation isn’t just for navigation—they can detect water ripples, fruit ripeness, insect wing thickness, and even the difference between a leaf and a leaf with a bug on it. Some species can even identify individual humans by voice-like echoes.
          - Bats are immune to many viruses that kill humans because their immune systems run “hot”. Their high metabolic rate during flight mimics a fever, suppressing viral replication. This makes them natural reservoirs for many viruses without getting sick.
          - Bats can live 30–40 years—unusually long for their size, which is so unusual that aging researchers study them for longevity secrets.

My penultimate semester at college will be over in a few weeks and the summer job hunt will commence! Until then, it'll be late weekends studying, projects, and finals that'll make you question your existence If you know, you know. Which means scheduling will be even more far and in-between potentially, I mean, SBD Series 2 is already way off schedule and that means a huge story dump on April 24th. Which is exhausting enough but whatever. I need to be consistent, give the me and the people what they want, and suck it up. So yeah, April 24th and we will have 75 chapters left before a well-deserved month-or-two-long rest before Series 3 and then completing Series 1 with pictures before going on hiatus with that series for focus on school, work, and myself. So see y'all until then.
          
          Some additional news time:
          - TADC is having their final episode released in theaters. Comment if you're buying tickets.
          - Sadanasi is out on French Dub already if you can't wait for English Dub.
          - The Miraculous Journalist now has more socials out. Check YouTube for more info.
          
          Bye!

Was super tired last night and forgot to write this last night. Swamped with classwork this week so remaining ~29 titles will be released on Saturday and/or Sunday. Then, we'll be halfway done with Star, Bird, Dragon Series 2!

Hello there, my...wow, I don't actually have any little nicknames for y'all this time around. Well, I mean, I'm doing this schedule on Sunday for once, so that's something. Um, so apparently, I might have mixed up the dates for the releases of Heartfixer and Riginarazione in English (Disney Channel), so my bad for those who thought Heartfixer in English Dub was releasing on my B-Day, not just the French Dub. But whatever, we'll see what happens from here, right?
