Doflamingo and Albert Wesker are literally the same and it explains so much about me and why I love them both so much.

They’re both platinum blond, sunglasses wearing problematic murderers menaces with massive egos and unparalleled fashion sense

Welp, knew it was coming but I’m sick again. I’m hoping it won’t take too long to get better but in my experience it can sometimes take over a week.

I’ll try and write when I can/get the burst of energy to do so but I don’t think I’ll have anything else done or posted this week or over the weekend. Wishing you all a good rest of the week and happy weekend. Stay safe 💜

If (and it’s a big if) my laptop behaves long enough for me to get it finished, I’ll be posting the next chapter of Immune To Your Charms! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it and I’m so happy with how it’s coming along so far but with this one I’m very nervous because of the ✨developments✨ that are happening.

Slight spoilers under the cut:

Guys…I’ve never written smut smut before(at least none I’ve ever posted) and with the way things are going it’s looking like the first proper thing I post is Doffy smut 😂. The pressure is there to do it right and satisfying for you all to read…there’s also a chance I chicken out and end the chapter before it gets explicit 😭🫣

On top of the issues I was having with my laptop, the charger for it has now decided to only work if it and the laptop are angled a certain way.

I thought I had charged it yesterday only to open it up and see it hadn’t worked. It’s made writing so much more awkward but hopefully I’m getting the new laptop today and honestly not a moment too soon.

Welp, was feeling up to finally write and work on stuff today and my body decided that wasn't going to happen. I took a back spasm, then when that settled I felt a twinge in my neck, tried to lightly rub that to ease it and managed to hurt my shoulder 🙃

I'm resting and taking it easy. We'll try again tomorrow. Send good vibes, hope you're all doing well and keeping safe 💕

A little good news bad news update:

Good News:

😊My bad slump in April has lifted and I’m feeling super motivated to write more again and not feeling as self-critical or negative about the writing that’s sitting half finished in my word documents.

Bad News:

😭Now my laptop is finally showing signs of being on its way out. The battery plummets, it’s overheating, when I’m typing everything suddenly lags and freezes and when it catches up some parts are missing, misspelled, or even in the wrong place entirely. Some documents even take forever to open which is an added annoyance. This is a big reason why I haven’t been posting as much as I normally would.

I’m trying to make the most of it but I think when payday comes I’m going to have to just bite the bullet and buy a new laptop while there’s still enough life in this one to save and transfer all my work without losing it. Writing is what I love to do and 99% of the time brings me so much happiness that I can’t imagine ever stopping.

I’ll hopefully have something posted tomorrow if it behaves long enough to let me finish something.

As always I want to thank you all for your patience, support and love with my writing. It truly means so much to me 💖

I took a break from the valentines requests and playing resident evil requiem to work a little bit on the next Immune To Your Charms chapter and I just got so frustrated? I don’t know how many times I deleted and rewrote paragraphs only to remove those as well.

I know how I want the chapter to go but I think because the series is almost over part of me is just overthinking things and being extra critical from wanting to make it perfect and satisfying for you all. It’s all part of the process which I know but I just want to give this story and you all the ending that’s deserved. Maybe I’ll have a clearer mindset in the morning.

Hoping for some good vibes guys! Thought things were settling in my personal life but they're starting up again. I know it's life and things happening are out of my and everyone's control but to get three separate calls about different family members being ill it's just exhausting and I'm feeling powerless to be able to do anything.

I know I was making progress with the belated Valentines requests but I'm just going to work on some self indulgent things to keep me distracted. Going to be a long night waiting for news and updates and don't think I'll be getting much sleep anyway.
