          	I thought I'd be a youtuber, but fuck no. What the shit..
          	This is legitimately the scummiest bullshit I've ever seen. AND I THOUGHT THE AI STUFF WAS BAD!!
          	
          	It's such a stupid thing, to change what's already working, and make changes NOBODY ASKED FOR.
          	And it's to 'improve youtube', meanwhile it harms over hundreds of thousands of channels.
          	
          	And that's not to mention the shady stuff with the id thing, giving a private company your data, hmmmm..? Yes, let's give YT all our credit card information, and be SHOCKED when that data is inevitably breached.
          	Never go on youtube. Never again.
          	
          	
          	
          	Phew, calmed down a bit.
          	So, I am NEVER making a YT channel, even if they go back on this.
          	
          	Also: Use the Brave browser. (This isn't sponsored.)
          	It blocks trackers and ads, (including on YT), I use it on all my devices :)
          	(Oh yeah, and uses less memory, if you care about that. I really wanted to address the stupid YT bullshit and mention my favorite browser.)
          	
          	I'm never touching YT again. If I do make any videos, it'll be on my own website.
          	
          	Lighter news: Pt.22 is going well. Slow, but well.
          	
          	
          	Thanks for reading my incredibly long tangent and rant.
          	(Holy shit that took me twenty minutes to write...)

Welp-o, oh how I woe.
          Ignore the stupid rhyme, this is me updating after a little over a month:
          -Working on Pixel Art again, am reading animation books, all that, yadayada.
          -Pt.22 is being a bit of a slog, but it's coming together. I think generally after Pt.24, I have it *mostly* sorted out.
          -Working on other stuff too, but you knew that. ;)
          
          Anywho, I've been enjoying life a bit more and am trying to make a place in the world. :P
          The drawing tablet's been pretty nice, all things considered,  and I've been spending some time trying to learn how to optimize things like storage size, and memory usage, cpu usage, all that boring computer crap. Gotta learn the basics! (heh)
          
          I don't think I'm anywhere NEAR the level of a game developer to make a full, amazing game loop game, but I'll get there.
          
          As weird and as crazy as this month has been for me, I'm glad. Glad for everything.
          
          Anyways, I've also gotten some bad eye strain and stuff, from using screens, so please, if you're doing that, try this:
          20-20-20 rule. Essentially, look away from your screen every 20 minutes, for 20 seconds, at something 20 feet away.
          
          Was this a long-winded explanation? Yes, it absolutely was, no kidding obviously.
          
          Hope everyone else is doing well, and I'll see-ee ya next time.

Hey ppl, need to say something.
          @CozyBunn has been hacked.
          
          With their username being renamed to 'claudiakins', and a suspicious link in their bio. Their OC books are fine, for now.
          
          I'm letting everyone know since I also.. am doing an FPE OC thing, so please, be aware, and possibly strengthen your password(s).
          
          To Cozy:
          I read a bit into it, you might wanna contact Wattpad Support through the account's gmail, so you can get it back.
          
          
          
          I'm gonna be rewriting an exact private copy of all their oc books just in case CozyBunn loses access to the account, and so they can re-write it in the worst case scenario, and not lose MONTHS of progress.
          
          So: stay safe, please keep your passwords very, very SECURE and protected, and keep an eye out. Love you all.

I think I'm gonna develop the story a bit differently.
          Stuck on Pt.22 right now, so I'm gonna work on later chapters a bit, since I have the ideas for them more fleshed out until I figure out what to do with Pt.22
          This'll overall have me be a bit more eager to work on it, and get it done sooner.

welp.
          It's that birth of days.
          So-
          Huge, huge thank you to.. you.
          And everyone.
          
          Doing this dumb WattPad thing, has really helped me.
          I'm a lot happier in my life, and overall better. You know this already.
          You all make me so happy, honestly.
          There's not a word I can really say, or attempt to describe that can convey just how much this has meant to me.
          I've talked with a lot wonderful people who I consider friends, I've learnt actual lessons, like how to talk and respond to people. How to overcome trauma and enjoy life. And to set aside some of my personal anxieties, which has been a massive hindrance during my life.
          
          Thanks. As always, forever, and until, even after I'm dead, thank you all.
          -Someone, or as you know me, Fanatic.

I might regret this rant later, but hey, why not?
            You all mean much more than the world to me.
            There's a saying, I said as a kid.
            "Love you to everything."
            I think that's at least somewhat close to what I mean.
            
            But, talking less emotionally and more sincerely, I do mean all this.
            You guys, girls, whatever and whoever you are, are awesome. And I wouldn't change that for anything.

I heard that this is fun so I'm gonna try it.
          Do any of you have a plot idea for Pt.22? Just wonderin'.

@Augusto2006sr That'd be a good horror game.
            "Hello, I have to 'rizz' you, I guess? Anyway, are you toast, because you, are.. a-burning."
            "No seriously, you're on fire."
            "PUT IT OUT YOU IDIOT!!!"

Game recommendation:
          Cats Are Liquid
          (I did not make this.)
          
          It's a very fun platformer for mobile, that doesn't make you pay for anything and has barely any ads, plus a level editor.
          (Plus it feels very calming and soothing, I guess?)
          So.. try it if you can! (It was a lotta fun, I played it for around 4 hours;)
