(continue) emotions and feelings ? also something I don't agree with is people making them being flirty (in a s3xual way - yes they are teenager boys and they have hormones but love and pure feelings have more value) and only caring about s3x. that
            often happens with dutch (I can see it but I don't think that he is so flat), I also saw it in several johnny's fanfics (like an enemies to lovers one in which he approached the oc and he started kissing and making innappropriate moves in the second chapter - I was feeling like I was reading a r@pe scene), also I read one with bobby in which he makes dirty comments and he acts like a total jerk (so out of character). it's so toxic romanticazing these behaviors and it's a shame to this characters too - they deserve to be layered not flat and emotionless 
            
            yes, it's okay - I can relate and understand. take your time. I never send this message to ask you to continue or something. I love messaging my favorite authors to express my admiration and my interest to this story. Is something I do often as I know that people work hard on them and deserve to gain some motivating and kind words. I know you didn't abandon the story and your oc - it's kinda impossible for a writer to forget something they gave life to. It stays with you and you return to it on the right time - your heart knows the right time ❤️ I had to take a break from my drafts too but I always catch myself thinking about them even when I don't work on them - I brainstorm a lot and I imagine scenes. I never leave the characters and the stories I love. and I know, that someday when I take that break - I will be back to them and I will give them all my affection fully
            
            take care, you deserve a rest too ❣️❣️ thanks for interacting with me. I appreciate you !!! have a nice day :)

@InvisibleObserver13 , you don't have to thank me for anything  yes, ofc - I can give you comments, I'm kinda on a mental health break (due to ed recovery) so I don't give time to comment or spend more time to analyze what I read (I make notes in my head though at everything I read, I liked that, I didn't found that good etc and I'm planning to review them and give feedback to the authors I read soon - I love expressing admiration and encourage people. I love helping others and motivate and I read like a writer lately, more thoughtful as I inspire to be one. I wanted to since middle school but I never got the chance because I was already ill back then and I didn't have the strengths to focus on investing to my dream and get to writing ❤️ some weeks ago I chose to recover (finally! after years of pain) to be able to give love to my drafts and pursue my dreams because all these years they never left me - they stuck there and I was in pain for leaving them and don't being able to afford them. I really care about that. so during I'm on that break - I give time to read thoughtful and I love that 
            
            yes jimmy, needs more affection - the fact that he hasn't a development and he barely speaks and exists gives us  a lot of potential to create something, to give him a personality and a backstory. to brainstorm endlessly about him. I'm surprised that people aren't getting "advantage" of him - there a lot of space to create something original with him. I love all the og cobras - especially the underrated ones (bobby - he kinda is, tommy, dutch - well not my time but I still care and of course jimmy), they need a good redemption arc and the chance to be seen and heard, to "gain" a voice ! I dislike it a lot when people are making them out of character or they romanticaze them because they are pretty - okay yes ? but they
            are human and they aren't angels or something ! why they choose the bad side and what's behind the bravado ? what are their struggles ? what are their hidden

@lovelyocean_22 Hi! I saw the messages that you sent to my inbox on Tumblr while I was on break at work today. Yeah, I'm pretty inactive on Wattpad, only popping in when I remember it or when I want to read a certain fic. I'm responding to you here because I didn't want to delete either message on Tumblr accidentally. Thank you so much for your kind words! I wish you had left some comments to let me know what you liked or thought. I know I'm probably the odd one out by focusing on Jimmy, but Tony O'Dell and his performance sparked something in me. I also find myself relating to Jimmy for those reasons, which is one reason why I chose to write my story. I am focusing on another story and fandom right now, but I haven't forgotten my Jimmy-centric OC romance (or my other Jimmy-centric OC story not posted on Wattpad), nor have I abandoned them. I just needed some time and distance away from the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai fandom for a bit.
