Hey guys.  Back for a minute.  So, it's been almost a year.  I'm not really sure what to say at this point; if I'm being totally honest it feels like life is slipping by way too fast.  Every day I think that I might come back here and then I check my email and the number of notifications alone makes me feel like I've missed so much.  I just wanted to say sorry to all the people who've supported me and put in requests and whatnot.  Everything is moving so fast I've hardly had time to really stop and look at them, but I can promise that I'm going to try this time.  It's 2023 and I want to do better for myself, my friends, and all of you.  
          	
          	That being said, I'm most likely not going to be able to post once a week, as those kinds of expectations are what made me stop coming here in the first place.  But I can say that I will try to post at least once every two weeks and that any question/comment/concern regarding my OC Reviews will be met with a quick response.  I'm really gonna try to do better and get my reviews up and running again.

Hi.  The first thing I'm going to say here is sorry.
          
          This summer and quite frankly this year have been an emotional and mental rollercoaster, and I don't know if I'm even ready for this next school year.  But, relating back to my point of sorry, I'm sorry that I've been so neglectful to my online responsibilities.  I realize that I don't have 4,000,000,000 followers or anything like that, but I still feel incredibly guilty, mainly due to my flakiness in regards to the OC Reviews.
          
          I just wanted to formally apologize for any inconvenience that I might have possibly caused you, and explain that this summer, despite all of the fun and positive experiences I had, has taken a serious toll on my general wellbeing and has caused me to be very tired and exhausted lately.
          
          However, I will try to keep up with my OC Reviews and my duties here more, so please bare with me.  Regular updates should come every Wednesday and occasionally on Sunday

@Blitzpaw  Aww thanks.  I really appreciate it.  And I've just started school as well (I have a stupid year-round school schedule) so it's kind of a lot, although i'm going to get into a more regular schedule, both on Wattpad and in the real world.

Hey guys!  It's my birthday!!!   I honestly cannot believe that today has come, but between the great presents and sweet cards from my friends to the amount of stuff my parents did for me, it's been really great so far.  Even though it's only been a year, I feel so much more mature and, as cliche as it is to say, wise.  The months leading up to today have been tumultuous, fun, and have flown by in a flash, to say the least.  Thank you to all the people who made today so awesome, and special shoutout to @random-fandom-writer for her unbelievably lovely and heartwarming card.

Happy Pride Month from a nerdy bisexual addicted to memes!
          
          @Music_Nerd31 brought to my attention that a ton of people are killing themselves and doing stuff like that, because, I assume, the pressures and the misfortunes of being part of the lgbtq+ community (although of course there are also mental health reasons and things like that).  And I just wanted to say:  Please remember that Pride Month is the month where you're supposed to love and celebrate yourself, even, (in my opinion) if you aren't part of the lgbtq+ community.  And guys, please remember, that there is always someone that loves you and wants you to love yourself, so if you are thinking or have thought of suicide, think of those people.  And remember to love yourself, no matter what.

why is no one talking about the fact that Stranger Things Season 4 came out yesterday...

@freckled_ferret  They really are.  I feel like Nick's mom is kinda underappreciated, but she's just as great as her son and her dog

Ever heard of the show Heartstopper?
          
          I finished watching it today and MY heart stopped many, many times.  It's probably one of the best shows that I've ever seen, up there with Stranger Things and it's such an amazing and positive lgbtq+ show, with lovely characters and one of the main characters is super sweet and super supportive and super bi, and it's so nice to see a healthy bi icon in media.  It's also British which is a personal bonus for me cuz I LOVE british shows.
          
          It's reminiscent of Young Royals, just more lighthearted and sweet.  You can't help but root for the main character, and his sister is really funny, and so are all of his friends, and I highly recommend it.

@Music_Nerd31  Sorry, I couldn't get back to you sooner, I was having lunch with my neighbor, but I would love to!

@Music_Nerd31  Yup!  My pfp is one of the main character's dogs in the show, and my background is a really good aesthetic based on the graphic novels

@Music_Nerd31  Actually my whole profile was redone to match heartstopper (its originally based on a graphic novel series and the author wrote and co-directed the show, plus a short cameo in the last episode!)

Hi Guys!  So, let me just start by saying that for everyone that has submitted OCs into my reviews, I am so sorry for the wait!  We had our end of year tests this week, and we're going to have more next week, and all of my extracurriculars are getting really intense too and requiring more of my time and effort.  I will be updating my reviews tomorrow, and I'm gonna try my best from now on to keep up a consistent update schedule (updating on Sundays and occasionally on Wednesdays)

-This is Extremely Important PLEASE Read-
          
          Today has been awesome.  No, better than awesome.  I went to see the new Fantastic Beasts movie with my best friend today, and it was... lovely!  The effects were lovely, and even though it was super long and I haven't seen the other Fantastic Beasts movies I still loved it!  Newt is my child I swear.
          
          then, we went to this outdoor festival thing and ran into a friend from school.  (plus there were a ton of dogs there, so that was really great too!)
          
          But finally, the real reason that I posted this:
          
          So my teacher is currently in New York because her son is in a baseball game against the Yankees tomorrow.  And she really likes me, and she knows I'm obsessed with Stranger Things, and guess what?  She ran into Gaten Matarazzo!!!!  I'm not even joking; it was insane!  I still can't believe it, but the best part was that my aforementioned best friend (the one who I saw Fantastic Beasts with) was in New York literally three days ago, and it was really funny to see her constant grumbling because "ITS NOT FAIR!  WE WERE IN NEW YORK ONLY THREE DAYS AGO!!!"
          
          Anyway, I just thought that that was really great and I wanted to share with you guys.
