hi friends! i thought i’d be on a roll with updates for a bit, but things kinda suck for me right now, and i’m going to focus on family (unless i turn to writing as a coping mechanism). as some of you know, i lost my grandfather a few months ago, and my grandma has not been doing well at all. there’s also more chaotic things regarding family that i don’t feel comfortable sharing. but i wanted to let you know that if my updates start getting sporadic again, it’s for a reason. 
          
          as always, thank you all for your love and support <3

Hey! I'm doing a psychology project for school and I was wondering if you could answer this q for me?
          
          What are 5 specific things that make you happy? (It can be people, events, food, books, movies, nature, something seemingly meaningless, anything!) It will be anonymous in the project (not like I know a lot of wattpad real names anyways haha)

i posted the fireheart trailer (that i made back in 2019/2020) on tiktok and stated in the caption that the violence is all fake and it was STILL removed from the for you page. then i submitted an appeal and it was rejected. now it displays a warning for disturbing/graphic material and you have to click “watch anyway”. it’s blurred on my profile and can’t reach anyone unless they follow me or visit my profile. i submitted another appeal because COME ON. people can spew bigotry and racism and stuff on the app but my silly little fanfic trailer violates the guidelines SOOOOO much ??? goodbye.
          
          anyways here’s the link if anyone wants to watch it and spite tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjaU8QXY/

and now a rereading of aegis.... its been the fourth time this year

AEGIS HIT 1 MILLION READS!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! back in 2016, i unpublished it after just a few chapters. but then i revamped it, breathing new life into nadia and the story, and decided to publish it again. i am SO glad i did; it wound up being one of my favorite stories i’ve written. from the characters, to the dynamics, to nadia’s journey learning to live with her disability, everything sticks with me almost 10 years later. 
          
          nadia was actually my first LGBTQ+ main OC (she is bisexual)! back then, as a minor living with very catholic republican parents, i was so afraid that they would find my work and i’d get in trouble for having an LGBTQ+ character. look how far i’ve come! 
          
          to the readers of aegis, i cannot thank you enough for continuing to appreciate the story so many years later. i may not be in the tmr fandom anymore, but i still love the story deeply. and of course, i would not be here without you. 
          
          thank you so very much!!!!

to my non-american friends: what is the biggest difference between american sarcasm vs sarcasm in your country/culture? i’ve been seeing a lot of videos where people say americans are dumb because they don’t understand sarcasm, but it’s actually that sarcasm can vary by culture and not get across properly to “outsiders”. i’ve gone down a rabbit hole with this and find it so interesting!
