So, Wattpad wants to get rid of the Private Messaging feature on here. There's a petition made in response to the decision (which I've already signed):

Well, this is sad - and delayed - news for the anime/manga community; Berserk's mangaka, Kentaro Miura, passed away two weeks ago at age 54. 
          
          Even though Berserk was still ongoing after 30+ years and only 300-ish chapters completed... very sad loss!

... I just have to vent:
          
          Everything I've gone through, and am currently going through as of 2020, is crashing down on me.
          
          I've gotten an internship at this thrift store back in September and while I'm stressed, I still get paid. People all around are telling me to be more "social" even though I'm perfectly content with being an introvert!
          
          All while stressing about not missing too many days of work (minus the days where we had to shut down during hurricane warnings, I've only missed one day so far), making myself look presentable, not freaking out and trying to keep my "happy face" on despite my depression and anxiety, and my mom trying to rope me in to her interest in "positivity" and "laws of attraction" self-help...
          
          I feel overwhelmed, both the pressure to make sure I get this job after my internship is over and still feeling how my father and stepmother - who I've broken all contact with - kept comparing my troubles and life with my younger stepbrother's... 
          
          And people keep asking "oh, you used to draw a lot, what happened?" or "why haven't you written any fanfics in three years?", it's freaking draining me and I'm feeling I'm going to have some emotional burnouts!

... I'm still mad at Netflix. Not only did they decide to drop #AgeofResistance after it's first season, but Netflix dropped the news AFTER The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance won an Emmy Award for "Best Children's Program"!!! :(
          
          I may have to take a movie break tomorrow and go see the #bts documentary again while it's still showing in movie theatres, just to distract myself from Age of Resistance's cancellation. 
          -_-

It's so weird.
          
          After watching the music video of BTS's "Black Swan", I felt like browsing through upcoming movies a day or two ago. Well... imagine my surprise when I saw a BTS documentary as an upcoming film. ... Got my ticket, and right now, I'm a few minutes away from seeing Break the Silence on the big screen~!
          
          I told my mom about this, and she's like "sounds like you manifested~! ^^".
          (My mom, for the past few months, has been ALL about manifesting XD)

Watching Ratched, Ryan Murphy's origin story for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest's Nurse Ratched, and I personally love it. Has Ryan Murphy's artistic flair, Sarah Paulson nails playing with Mildred Ratched's manipulative and also sympathetic sides, and the dubious morality that's seen in the AHS franchise is here, too! ... Plus, having the opening credits be the song "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saëns was another nice surprise! ♡

Anyone else saw the newest teaser trailer Nia DaCosta put up for the upcoming #Candyman direct sequel?
          
          The Shadow Puppetry animation felt like something that would be used for a Tim Burton movie (and pret-ty similar to the storytelling method Kyoko used to describe her background history in Puella Magi Madoka Magica)! ^^
          
          I could see how this teaser tied in to Candyman's origins and gave us an idea on how the 2020 Candyman protagonist, Anthony McCoy, loses himself.. but the other real hate crimes referenced (including the one fragment about the boy wrongfully executed for a crime he didn't commit)... those parts made me so sad. :(
