Random and Thoughts
MeriemR I know, right? XP
ccme I never take pictures of myself but my whole gallery is kpop related.
It's great that you were inspired by the kdramas and yeah, the romance tropes are too overused and overdone. There are readers who would love reading that but I'd rather write kdrama plots without the tropes. I feel that...
I don't know what I came here to do, nor how I came to be here ksksks ... But from what I saw here we speak our thoughts, and what I have thoughts now is that the quality of WebNovel Fanfics is decreasing, it seems that every day there are fewer stories that suit my taste ksksks ...
Tennouji_Kotarou Hello and yes, this is a place to share random thoughts and so far, it has been mostly me. I will admit that I no longer read on WN and I never read fanfiction but I have seen threads about quality. I'm no expert but good stories are pretty hard to find, I agree.
Good luck finding the right story!

Sixty-Fifth Thought: Traumatizing Times of Owning Fish
When I was a kid, I had a total of 23 fish and some of the things I saw was so terrifying for a kid like me.
I had two goldfish and one was gold and fat. The other was white and black, not so fat. So, the fat goldie would nibble on the other goldfish's tail but I did not know until I saw the goldfish rip half the tail off. Of course, I shrieked like a banshee.
I also had a few smaller fish and some of them died gruesome deaths. For example, one was eaten by the gold goldfish. A few others got stuck in a water wheel and well...you know what happened when squishing happens.
One day, I found that the calm goldfish disappeared. I asked my parents what they did and the fish was 'buried'. If being in the garbage bag was a burial...sure?
Yeah, that was my experience as a fish owner. I wasn't the most knowledgable and I was definitely not fit for raising scaled things. Not the most happiest blurb but it was a random memory that popped up.
ValKree Awww~ I remember owning several beta fish and keeping them in separate tanks with a divider so they wouldn’t seek one another and get angry. When they died, we buried them in the ground under a big bush. They lived for quite a long time, but I wouldn’t own fish again. However, they all had quite the personalities, and it was good time as a kid.
Sixty-Sixth Thought: Wannabe Assassin
So, I am currently hunched over my laptop wearing a long, black robe decorated with candy cane patterns. I feel so powerful with the hood on and when my sister found me in the living room, she screamed. She probably thought I was an assassin or something. Muahahaha
Sixty-Seventh Thought: Marshmallows
It's such a weird word but I love it.

As Death is inevitable and everyone is going to die one day and there's no fixed time and Death comes when it pleases... Isn't having a Fingerprint or FaceID locking your devices a bad choice? Pin, Password, and even Pattern lock would be a much better option if you don't want people prying into your stuff after you keel over randomly. Remember to encrypt your devices' storage as well.
RABBITICOL Ermm...that's an interesting thought.
I never used fingerprint or FaceID. My passwords usually have 20+ characters and to be honest, it would be interesting to have others look at my stuff when I kick the bucket. The worst is my search history full of stuff for schoolwork. Where available, which is usually on school sites, I use 2-step authentication. My laptop is so slow...I should get a new one for uni.
Sixty-Eight Thought: I am Sensitive to Light
My nickname is Vamp because I really hate going outside when the sun is out and it's a bright, happy day. My mother would sometimes say "you need the light!" I would say "nah, I'm the Lady in the Dark". If I was to make this more controversial, this also relates to my religious life. I do not need 'the light' in my life.
o.o
ValKree 2-step authentication is a must have, but a lot of people do not understand its value. It's good that you use it.
2 more days and I will be a Level 4.
RABBITICOL Yeah, I found it and although I have no knowledge about that stuff, I found it was cool and worth the shot. Only the really important stuff has 2-step while everything else is just long passwords.
I have been hacked once but luckily, nothing too serious happened.
Computers are so interesting...
Oooh level 4! You've gone a long way.
Sixty-Ninth Thought: Sixty Nine?
O.o (I also cannot think of any interesting or enlightening thoughts today so muahaha, immature me is out for a bit). It took me so long to understand why my peers made weird faces whenever the number 69 is mentioned...I thought of pisces and nope, I have been fooled.
ValKree I use 2-step everywhere they have it. As I have some accounts that I share with others, I use really basic passwords (still good enough to not be hacked if you know how to keep yourself safe) for those so I don't have to tell them the same thing again and again. And I kid you not, the only thing that's kept those accounts safe is 2-step authentication as when someone I share the account with needs to login on a new device, they can just msg me and I give them the code that's needed. I receive these notifications of Someone just tried to log in to your account from this country and that country from time to time, and facepalm. Although the accounts are disposable, creating new ones and filling them with the same data again is annoying.
As for getting hacked, well, I have never been hacked and I hope it stays that way. Also, lol, I am so good at thinking up hard passwords that even I forget them some times (have lost one Google account to date because of no recovery method). So a password manager is a must have, too.

Seventieth Thought: Picking Videos for Healthcare Class Presentation
It hurts, I cannot find a video that is not ugly (blurry or unflattering to the eye), has a shaky cameraman, is over ten minutes or has poor audio. I might be using the wrong keywords or something because none of these videos are going to touch my presentation. I tried looking for animations but nope.
The thing is...videos are a must. Facepalms
I just need a short video about a medical machine that has been studied so many times. I am tempted to go make a video for future students.
I am a drama queen....I know.
Seventy-Eighth Thought: Editing Works
My brain is completely fried...after editing three works (one chapter from each person). Two clients dropped because I was taking too long with one and I was like "mmmm. Kay". I like editing works that are not mine though, I am more motivated to edit stories that are not my own. I might be weird but whatever.
Veronica8 Haha, what type of stars? The glittery ones or the ones flying around?
It really is and I think it would have been cool to edit more than one chapter each but alas, time and life won't allow it. I doubt I would do anything writing-related as work or a side job. However, it definitely does give more opportunities for exposure and interactions.
Seventy-Ninth Thought: Calculus Teacher Using Internet Lingo (LOL)
Yep, you read that right. I currently have a calculus teacher and since we are starting online schooling, he sent an Email which had "LOL" in it. Everyone was so caught off guard because it was an Email sent to students and parents. The class has a group chat on Instagram and everyone flocked to say "what, am I seeing that right? He wrote LOL!"
Then, when the classroom was set up, everyone spammed the first post with "lol" in different styles.
I love my peers this year...
Eightieth Thought: Still Here, Somehow
I've been really busy for the past month so I rarely post on WN anymore. I have been exploring other writing platforms but I'm staying here in case there are readers and friends who may be waiting for me.
I'll still lurk here though.
Eighty-First Thought: How Are You All?
Lately, I have been trying to find stuff to post here but none of them seem to be interesting enough so I'm wondering...the title. What are your thoughts? How is your situation? Stuff like that. I might not see your replies after a few days but feel free to share anything.
Eighty-First Thought: My Dumb Self Spelt...
Asymptote as assymptote...thrice. woopsies
Pleasedeteme I'm very late but nope, not spiritual at all. Though, I have been called the deity of the cold and...art (?)

Eighty-Second Thought: SevenSuns Crew's Decline
I'm not sure if anyone here knows that @SevenSuns is a collaboration between me and three friends but...this crazy time is keeping us all from working on what we love most: our books. I have been taking to them and only one can continue writing with his crazy schedule. So, after about two months of working together, we decided to take a break to recollect ourselves.
I've already been quiet on this account but I have been working hard on Wattpad. I am also pausing on Tapas, Royal Road and Quotev. Readers have been so kind and understanding that I feel guilty. Will they wait? How long will they keep reading? And worst of all, what is we or I never return?
I don't want to think about it...but it has happened before.
Besides that, how are you all?
Eighty-Third Thought: I am still here, lurking
Who missed me? No one, probably
I am still taking a long break from updating on WN but I am very active on other sites T-T
Also, I made a new Discord account after losing mine to the spam filter -_-
If you would like to reach me, maybe I will leave my Discord info here. But I highly doubt there would be a need for it.
I hope you are all doing well. I may try to post here weekly after this one.
Eighty-Fourth Thought: Did I Talk About When...
13-year-old me had my work stolen on Wattpad. Yep, I was writing my first book (that was very cringe-worthy) when one day I stumbled upon a book with a similar title and identical synopsis but of course, an effort was made to change some stuff. So, I went in and found myself reading 22 chapters of my book but the character and kingdom names were changed. How clever. They copied my work at least four months after it was published.
I then discovered that the writer wrote beyond what I had published and this is where things just got funny. Since I am generous, I would say that their grammar and spelling was slightly worse than my terrible writing. At the time, my book had only a few thousand reads so I thought they were bored or looking for a boost. For some reason, it seemed like they only copied mine. It was laughable because perhaps they thought they could get reads by doing that. They did not.
I always forget to check this place. -_-
