Reminder that the "chronic" in chronic illness means I'm never getting better. So please don't "get well soon" me. I literally can't get "well". I know it's hard to know what to say when your only experience of pain and illness is temporary, but it's not that hard to change the language just a little to make it less of a punch in the gut to us. 
          	
          	"I hope you have better days soon". 
          	
          	"I hope you find some relief from your pain". 
          	
          	"Take as much time as you need to rest." 
          	
          	Don't just immediately default to "get well soon" because it's actually insulting and shows you don't care enough to learn what chronically ill even means.

Hello Viz! I am aware that you don't take requests BUT this is more of a collaboration if you accepted, and ofc you dont have to. But first, let me offer some context: basically a little bit ago I was looking at kinktober collections and thinking "man I'd love to be in/write one of these". so I looked for a list but after deciding I'd do that when October comes, I though maybe I could team up with some other authors to write one kinktober/flufftober collection. tbh I don't know ANYONE personally in the fanfic business (both here and on ao3) so I just have two people I'm asking to join me in this - you and someone on ao3 (actually, maybe she's on here, i haven't checked) with the user of Cinnbar_Bun, because I like your writing. So, would you be interested? Yet again I am aware that you have probably more important things to do than work on a collection, but I thought it might be fun to collaborate with some other people. Thanks for reading, I know this got long lol

@silver_and_ice Awesome! There are definitely a few there I would be very interested in writing for. 4, 13, and 16 in particular. Could potentially pick up more if needed, but I think I'll play it safe and start with 3 since I don't know how busy I'm gonna be yet ^^'

Fuck you to whoever reported my Final Fantasy XV x Reader oneshot book. 
          
          ( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆)╭∩╮
          
          It was appropriately marked as mature. It wasn't NEARLY as graphic as half the shit I see on this site. The characters are all 18+. Then main story wasn't even sexual IN ANY WAY IT WAS JUST WHOLESOME FLUFF. 
          
          Some people need to get a fucking hobby Istg.

@gentlehome @Quinloki I tried but the appeal wouldn't submit. The message DID say I could appeal it though, but apparently that was a lie -.- I'll probs just repost them when I get time.

Guys, I really appreciate the comments and excitement for the Celestial update, but I haven't just been gone for 3.5 years, I am chronically ill and disabled and have made this clear on my page and in all of my stories, so if you didn't know, but sorry that's on you. (also I clearly did not just disappear for 3 years, I have update other fics in that time but ok)
          
          I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling better (my theory is the medication I was on until recently was actually making me feel worse so now I'm off it, I've seen some improvement) but please don't get excited that I'm "back". Because honestly I don't know how long this burst of activity will last. I'm trying to get as much out of it as I can, but the nature of chronic illness is it has its ups and downs and I know that my health WILL inevitably go downhill again. This is a case of when not if. Please understand that.
          
          Thank you for enjoying my writing <3 I hope I can keep it up for a while longer at least.

@IsolatedDrake Not apologising, just explaining and trying to temper expectations a little haha. 
            
            Thank you <3

@Vizkopa honey, don't apologize. Take care of yourself and it's great that you are feeling better. Do the things you love to do and know that we will support you. You are strong, you are loved, you shine above all else. If people don't understand that then it's their problem and they are assholes. What is important is to take your time and don't rush yourself.
            
            Love from a reader ❤️

Didn't Wattpad used to have a feed specifically for seeing updates on stories? Or am I actually crazy?
          
          Anyway, in case you didn't know, I updated Damned if you Do <3 working on more updates but it'll be a surprise even to me which one comes next XD

@lyndsyh I THOUGHT SO! I don't know when it was taken away here but considering I'm not super active on this site, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a while ago now XD I'm just glad I'm not crazy haha!

@Vizkopa They did! I miss it. It was taken away in the US a few years ago.

@gentlehome Maybe it's cause I use my browser not the app??? Cause I don't get a notification for fic updates. I could have sworn there used to be a feed where you could see it, but not sure if I'm misremembering.
