Hi! While I’ve been stuck in a terrible writer’s block and procrastinating for the looongest time, this story suddenly came to me out of nowhere.
          
          It was inspired by the cyborg series and novels I used to read and watch around 2009–2012: Absolute Boyfriend (Japanese Manga/Live Action series) being one of them , along with thoughts of Robocop, Bicentennial Man, and Her.
          
          Before the idea could completely evaporate from my mind, I hurried to structure it… and voilà, this came to life.
          
          Anyway, without further ado, I’m dedicating this to all Jaafar Jackson fans!
          
          NEW STORY: Afterhuman

ACT 3 finale of The Way You Make Me Feel (One More Chance) is now up.
          
          Somehow they made it through Tokyo with feelings, silence, unresolved conversations… and questionable emotional timing intact.
          
          Stay tune for ACT 4!

A little honest (and slightly chaotic) note before you begin...
          
          I was supposed to be working on the next ACT of my main story. 
          But somewhere between trimming, adding, trimming again, rethinking everything, and questioning my entire life choices… my brain officially said, “Nope. We’re done here.”
          
          So yes, I'm on a break...from that story. TWYMMF (One More Chance).
          
          And so, in that quiet little creative rebellion, this story came back to me.
          
          I actually had this idea sitting in the background for about a month...just a messy structure, random thoughts, and “I’ll deal with this later” energy. But since my brain refused to cooperate with the other one, I came back to this instead… and somehow, it started flowing.
          
          So while I’m still figuring out for the other story, I’ve already written a few chapters of this one, and I thought I’d give you a little peek.
          
          This story holds a softer, more personal side of me, the love for art, for painting and photography, and pieces of experiences I’ve quietly carried and poured into these pages.
          
          It may have started as a distraction… but it turned into something I genuinely wanted to tell.
          
          So here we are: https://www.wattpad.com/story/410396495-the-painter

ACT 2 FINALE:
          
          They stopped avoiding what it meant, faced it without rushing, held onto it without losing themselves—
          
          and still, something...
          
          Chapters 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 and 50 are now up in here & Tumblr. (@baderababy)
          
          Catch up before ACT 3 begins‼️♥️ 

just a small update, i’ve started slowly uploading my videos to Youtube. please bear in terms of converting each chapters to video series co'z it will take A LOT of time. (And depends on my mood lol)
          
          i’m honestly still figuring things out with the platform since i curate all the music in my visuals pretty intentionally (per chapter / story summary), and that doesn’t always fit neatly into how yt works. i’m not claiming any ownership over the songs...they’re just part of how i tell the story.
          
          that said, i also want to make things more accessible for anyone who wants to watch, and Youtube is still the easiest place for everyone.
          
          i’m still posting on Tumblr too, and honestly i’ve even thought about building my own site just to have full control over everything… but yeah, that takes time (and energy lol).
          
          so for now, uploads might be slow, but they’re coming.

We’re officially halfway through Act 2 (Ch. 14–40) 
          
          And I have to ask… what do you think about Michael and Tatiana so far?
          
          Because this didn’t start as some big love story.
          It started with closure… then calls… then showing up… and now it’s something real.
          
          Like, when did it shift for you?
          
          Was there a moment where you were like, oh… this is different now?
          
          And now that they’re here:
          does their relationship feel safe to you? or like something that could still be tested?
          
          Because we still have half of Act 2 left… and you already know his world is about to get loud again.
          
          So what are you expecting next? 

I made a quick edit to the previous chapters, especially the poll questions. I realized I don’t just want to ask generic questions. I actually want to understand what you feel and think about each chapter.
          
          Your responses help me see how the story is landing for you, and that helps me shape where it goes next (while still following the real timeline).
          
          Just a reminder like I mentioned in the foreword, this story follows real events, but it’s still fiction, "controlled fiction." The dialogue, personalities, and character development are based on my imagination, inspired by how I see Michael and Tatiana as a fan.
