Just wanted to make a small announcement. As of today, Wattpad has removed "Until the Crickets Die" permanently. It was a short 1.7k-word story I wrote for the BNHA fandom where Eraserhead comforted Present Mic as he dealt with the reality of hearing loss, Deaf culture and community, and accepting a huge change in his life. 
          	
          	I do not know which guidelines it violated, as it's been a well-loved story for the last 6, almost 7,  years, and I could not think of anything that it violated even after reading through the guidelines again today. No one has ever mentioned anything problematic to me either. 
          	
          	Of course, with Wattpad's iron fist, they are allowed to remove stories without warning, and I acknowledge this. 
          	
          	Alas, it is gone forever from Wattpad, and I apologize to those who have read it over the years. I have no intention to repost or fix it since I do not understand what needs to be fixed. 
          	
          	For those who still want to read it, it will be exclusively on AO3 along with the rest of my recent works. Thank you for understanding and for sticking by me all this time.

This is a smaller life update, to those who care.
          
          I survived! 
          
          I was hospitalized for 8 days due to severe pneumonia and a blood infection which shut down both kidneys and both lungs. Vomited a solid 8 times and lost 12 pounds from all of this. Also had an infiltrated IV line, a collapsed vein, and eventually had to get a new IV and then a PICC midline. After 2 weeks of blood infusions and antibiotics every 8 hours and some extra oxygen, I’m doing much better. 
          
          Also, I never knew they could get blood from an elbow. My blood literally dried up in my arm, my forearm, my wrist, and my hand, so they somehow violated my wenis and got blood on the back of my elbow so close to the bone T^T
          
          I’m not quite cleared yet but we’re getting there. Recovery is rough. Apparently if I didn’t get to the emergency room when I did, I probably would have died in 3 days according to the doctors.
          
          Whoops. I’m an actual hazard to my own self sometimes. Ahah xD 
          
          But ya girl is back and she’s writing with a vengeance. We alive and we writing. >:3 Sorry for being MIA. <3

@Kaltsyfer Thank you! Past year has been crazy since I posted this update, but doing much better. Although looks like medication injections are going to be my normal for the rest of my life. 4-5 each day since this incident. Still taking it steady but back to work and back to writing now!

After a long debate, I have decided after 11 years, I am worn down by the changes and upkeep of my works here on Wattpad. The list of things I am upset with is simply too long by this point as a writer. This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make. I’ve stuck around for so long, yet I no longer feel the passion nor support I used to feel for Wattpad. I apologize. 
          
          So, while I am still updating weekly, I will no longer be posting on here. All updates from the schedule linked in my bio will be AO3 only. 
          
          Due to some requests from a few different people, I will not be removing anything already posted. If you’ve added a story to a list, you can still read it and haunt me with comments. 
          
          But, no new content will be posted here either. 
          
          I truly am thankful to everyone who has supported me over the years. Even through my droughts where I quit writing, you convinced me to try again. I will never stop being grateful for that.
          
          I will still be active if anyone wants to talk. And I’ll be around to comment and reply. But IG and Discord are where I’m active most if anyone wishes to seek me out there. 
          
          Thanks for over a decade of love. ^^

I hate being sick. How am I to write when my lungs feel like they're peeling from the inside out?? T^T
