OMG 20K reads on BA31st! O_O
          
          I know no one will probably read this but imma still yap on because this milestone in particular means so fucking much to me. For some reason when I got back into writing 20k was the number which became my ultimate goal.
          
          Why? I have no idea but I said 20k and stuck to it. I genuinely thought it would take a few years for one of my stories to reach that goal but I have been secretly hoping that BA hit it by the year mark of when I published the story.
          
          This is insane to me, I cannot believe I hit my ultimate goal for one story and honestly that genuinely is me so happy and over the moon that anything beyond that for any of my fics is literally just an added bonus. 
          
          This story was originally planned as a short story btw lol
          
          I am so grateful I didn't stick with the short story idea, I pushed myself so freaking much during that fic, I put my all into it and to see it being appreciated it genuinely is so fucking endearing and means so much to me. 
          
          Hitting this milestone has reminded me to never give up even when going through difficult spells like I have recently. I have been dealing with a lot of burn out but after a much needed reset and now this. I am so ready to kick myself up the ass and get my head back in the game. 
          
          Thank you to everyone who gave the story a chance, I hope you all enjoy(ed) reading it as much as I did writing it! 
          
          BTW Bonus chapter for BA will be dropping at some point as a special celebratory thanks and little glimpse into the future which serves as what a sequel could of looked like if I had chosen to write one. 
          
          Also, in coming months there will be a prequel release but that's all I'm gonna say for now ;)
          
          Thank you all so much, especially to those voting/commenting etc.. which keeps keep the book active.
          
          There's much more camren content to come! I will be taking a break from actively publishing anything once WEC is finished but I will be writing a lot behind the scenes and I am so excited! 
          
          -rain <3

So did anyone get any of the 5H merch? What are your thoughts?
          
          Personally I only copped a t-shirt because it was a nice stonewash colour and it's specially for the anniversary of my fav album but if it hadn't of been for the album I wouldn't of gotten anything.
          
          Also SUPER fucking expensive, the shipping was the same price as the shirt for me like wow lol 
          
          Anyone see Camila's story on insta though... (⊙ˍ⊙)

I cannot function in the heat. I am going through my THIRD FUCKING HEATWAVE within the past month or so and it's legit killing any motivation I have for writing or reading atm.
          
          I know it's dead socially on here and most people don't read these things but I actually miss being on track with updating and I miss reading sm honestly.
          
          Hoping to get back on track asap before I take my break off from writing soonish.
          
          fuck the heat, fuck humidity. My Irish ass cannot handle this (ㆆ_ㆆ)
          
          I want my below 10C and constant rain back pleaseeeee and thank you mother nature <3

This might be an controversial take but I think Camila's first album is her best honestly.
          
          I still love romance and cxoxo well I am trying to like but I don't think it's for me personally.
          
          Tbf though I think I listen to her first the most so I am holding a bias but idk with all the emotion from stuff with the girls, her and Lauren's connection breaking down and all she was going through I think it really fuelled a lyrical masterpiece.
          
          The songs are fucking beautiful, in ways I can't even describe the emotion that album elicits from me.
          
          I also think 'I Have Questions' is so so overlooked, to be fair she doesn't talk about that song anymore for obvious reasons but yeah it's one of the most soul touching and relatable songs I have ever listened to.
          
          Really hoping for some old Camila vibes in CC5, I wouldn't mind a mixture of experimentation still but I really crave those old sounding melodies and whimsical lyricism from her.

Can anyone who makes video edits help me out pleaseeee
          
          Super new to this, wanting to learn so my main thing is where do you guys get your clips? I wanna make 5h, camren and overall c and l edits but cant seem to download any vids and heard people saying about screen recording to get your clips instead?
          
          What editors do you guys use? I have canva premium and was thinking of starting off using that 
          
          Overall any tips and tricks to help out please, I'm gonna be taking it serious once I finish my works after the summer here but wanna get a head start and know the basics.
          
          It's gonna be mainly a hobby but still wanna put in the effort it deserves to make some decent edits and have some fun.
          
          Thank you to anyone who responds! <3

I love camila sm but istg if this shawmila shitshow sparks again I'm genuinely gonna be so annoyed broooo (especially since shown seems happy with his new gf).
          
          They were so much better as good mates(I actually really liked their friendship), here's hoping they at least don't get back together but if they do then it is what it is and I wish the best for them.
          
          I wanna also add and make it clear, I'm not one of those camren shippers that thinks the girls would ever have a thing again because to me that ship sailed a long long ass time ago.
          
          I don't mind either of them having partners at all but there is something about shawmila that seems so forced to me. 
          
          Like forcing two really good mates to take a romantic step and it just looks hella weird, that's just how I see them and not to mention how much it was shoved in our faces in the media lol 
          
          But fr if they do end up together again all I can hope is that they can have more privacy around their relationship and work through their issues they had in the past.
          
          But I don't think they are meant to be, just like Camila and Lauren too. I think both those ships irl have sailed their courses and served their purpose. 
          
          Hoping our girl takes some much needed time for herself, also Lauren too cause I think they both need it. 
          
          Last post about this for the time being, needed to get this outta my system lol

I had to quickly pop in and comment on the fact apparently Camila and Henry have broken up.
          
          Sad for her, sucks for them both and hope it ended mutually. I will always lowkey be a camren shipper but I'm a realistic one that the girls aren't ever gonna be friends again never mind anything beyond that.
          
          Twitter is crazy, I checked in and damn the Camila peeps, camren shippers and shawmila shippers are fucking going at it. 
          
          I swear this will always be weird to me how invested people get in the private lives of celebrities and this is even more so why people hate RPF shipping and I cannot blame them. 
          
          People are so invasive and obsessed, like bro she's probably super upset rn so why tf are people obsessed with saying she needs a new fella or to get back with Shawn? 
          
          Even people saying about her and Lauren both being single at the same time for the first time in a hot minute like c'mon it's ridiculous. 
          
          Idk how they do it cause I wouldn't be able to handle people just not respecting basic boundaries. 
          
          Love my girly, hope she heals and comes back even stronger.
          
          I do hope she focuses on herself for awhile and doesn't just jump into another relationship but at the end of the day it is her life. But we sometimes need time for ourselves and I think that is what C needs for the time being. 
          
          Sorry for the mini rant, I just wanted to come here and talk about it. 
          
          What is everyone else thinking? Remember even if we disagree it can still remain respectful and civil, we're all entitled to our own opinions :)
          
          Gotta go edit my note about Henry and Camila in one of my BA chaps now lol

what camren fics do you recommend??

Mental health ain't fun. 
          
          My depression is kicking my ass majorly atm so I'll not be active here apart from pushing out my updates. 
          
          Stay safe and take care guys :)

Um how come I never seen the clip of the girls being asked about otps at the Hotel Transylvania premiere thing and Camila answered 'otps in the group haven't quite worked out' and her and Lauren smiled and kind of laughed it off lmaoooo
          
          I have never seen that clip until just now, I think a lot of people read into it wrong cause all the comments(bare in mind from nearly a decade back) were saying about being heartbroken she said it but I more so read from it she was making light of how the shipping was intense asf in the group well ofc between her and Lauren at that time.
          
          What shocked me more was her and Lauren smiling and laughing it off instead of it being all serious like it usually was when Lauren would find a reason to deny it and bring it up. It was acc kind of endearing, no matter what way it was meant.
          
          I didn't read from it that she denied camren(at that time cause the ship is long dead now irl lol), like honestly I'm not even genuinely trying to be being delusional for once. 
          
          I think a lot of people just read into it wrong or hey maybe I am but I guess it doesn't matter now since it's been 10 FUCKING YEARS LMAOOO
          
          Not me reading into it when it's been a whole ass decade later, damn camren really will forever have a hold on me lmaooo
