Long lost fanfiction writer that stumbled upon a random gacha game and became inspired again. Unapologetic ZZZ lore enthusiast. Manga and anime making a (possible) fanfic comeback. Old (and I mean old) anime fanfics on Fanfiction.net under Pareathe.

It's times like these that I'm mad at myself for letting my brain slow down so much in my old(ish) age. This new #COTE (aka Classroom of the Elite) Year 3 volume is kicking my ass right now. Did I beg a friend for a digital copy while my physical copy makes its way home anyway? Yes. Yes I did.🫣

May #Promosky (Saw this and figured why not?) About me: ☆ Celeste ☆ She/Her ☆ USA Interests: ♡ Reading ♡ Writing ♡ Manga/Anime Currently Reading: ✧ 7th Time Loop ✧ Classroom of the Elite ✧ Anything RA Salvatore Currently Watching: ✧ COTE ✧ MarriageToxin ✧ Kill Blue ✧ Gals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!?

She lives. She's tired and sore and confused about what day it even is, but she lives. Other than that, I'm on a ZZZ hiatus until 3.0 (I think), so I've been watching anime, catching up on manga, and reading light novels. I haven't written much lately, and I feel the cobwebs forming. Bleh.

Also I never mentioned my thoughts on #zzz 2.5 story yet. Because... ugh. Someone tell me how I can apply to write for them. They need help at this point, and I'd be more than happy to assist. Good news though is the idols are finally coming. I so badly needed a couple skip patches.

I'm alive. I haven't done much in the way of writing due to health stuff that's still ongoing, but I figured I'd let you guys know I haven't dropped dead at least. And I do plan to write stuff again. I'm not sure when, but the ideas are definitely there. 😂

So I thought my anime/manga-based fanfic days were long behind me. Then while I've been recovering from surgery which, unfortunately, has affected one leg AND my vision (blood clots are sneaky little bastards), I found a manga. Then I found the anime based on that manga. The muses are now feral.

Finally home and in time to enjoy the 2.5 livestream for #zzz. Also I caught Ketteithe7th's YT stream w/ some extra codes for free polys :D. (For my night owls, he's one of the best zzz streamers imho.) MEETTHEVOIDHUNTER - 20 polys ZHAOISFREE - 50 poly ZZZCREATOR25 - 30 poly and a few extras

Without getting into all the bs of late, I have surgery tomorrow morning and then some time off to address leftover stuff. It's time to recover and hopefully get some writing done. For anyone who is tempted to say "Writing can wait..." Not really, lol. Writing is part of my healing process. XD

Sorry for the long silence - life has been life-ing at the end of the year. Hopefully I'll be more active again soon. BUT for my ZZZ ftp (or not) players, if you haven't gotten all the free code polys, you know I gotchu. ZZZ24KRAMPUS = 60 Dialyn1125 = 60 ZENLESSGIFT = 50

Okay, so finished the main story update. I'll leave impressions for later, because right now only one thing matters. *Slight spoiler alert* It's confirmed that Manato is a legal adult (approximately 19 to be more specific.) Let the fanfiction/fanart/miscellaneous related smut commence.

The moment I thought the muses insisted on me working on 2 fics at the same time. Me: I have 2 hands and maybe 2 brain cells to spare right now. Muses: Clearly, since you haven't realized these are two parts of THE SAME FUCKING STORY. Me: ... Muses: See it now? Me: Fuck off, seriously.

Someone wrote a #Lycabelle fic (and is planning a short series) inspired by the It's All Fun series. I've been given way more love than I deserve on my stories, really, but this was one of the greatest compliments of all. I'm completely floored, it's so good! archiveofourown.org/works/690092...

Bruh. #ZZZ gotta quit taking characters that I have no interest in pulling and attaching them to Phaethon's lore. Seriously. Ya'll making me scrape the internet for trust event videos up in here, and ain't nobody got time for that shit. 🤦‍♀️

So I have a little time to catch up on stuff in #zzz, and I noticed there was some "talk" (aka bitching) in some spaces about players (like me) that are disappointed about no Manato announcement. Some players are all about their damn waifus; I'm all about my thirens/male toons. 🤬 Sorry, not sorry.
