The Lost Pet

First I wanna say, HI ROSE PETALS!!

I know these months I was inactive; part of it was due to writer's block. The other part was me trying to help my family with financial issues (my life has gone to shit these last handful of months). So in between the two, it's been hard trying to juggle everything. This year, the holidays for me is bittersweet, but I'm trying to make the most of it and I figured the one way to start is to get back on track and upload chapters for you all. Writing is the one thing I look forward to (no matter how frustrating writer's block can get for me) and it makes me happy.

But the reason why I'm making this is because one of my follower's PM'd me and asked me what went down between Raven and I. They had heard about it, but they don't know all the details. They also know that Raven and I were good friends before shit hit the fan, so they're simply curious and want to ask the million dollar question: where did it all go wrong?

To answer that question, we're going to have to take a trip down the Time Machine and flashback to when I first joined Wattpad— which was like when I was 12 or 13 (can't remember).

I was new to Wattpad and I was looking for something to write. My attempts at making novels weren't THAT bad...(yes it was Leslie), but it definitely needed touch-ups. It was cringey and needed flavoring. Around that time, I saw that there was a fanfic story in my recommendations. The fanfic was none other than a TMNT/MLP crossover story. I forgot which couple it was, but I read it and my 12 year old self thought it was the greatest (when I look back, the book had no sense of grammar, characters were Mary Sues and the plot was cliche). I later found out that the author's name was Kiana1506 or whatever the fuck was her username, but she went by Raven Queen (I know, the same name as THE Raven Queen from EAH -_-). Well, I continued to read her stories and yes, they were HORRIBLY written and needed to be disposed of in the dumpster, but my 12 year old self didn't know any better and I thought they were peak literature. Any time a new update came in, I would always read, vote, and comment. Raven noticed this and thanked me for giving her my support, and at the time, I thought that Raven was a literature legend on Wattpad (at least in the TMNT/MLP/Sonic category). I later learned that another user also wrote these crossover stories, and was best friends with Raven: Ola. So of course, 12 year-old me also read her stories and thought they were amazing (if only I knew back then that they were complete SHIT).

So then I thought: "HMMMM if these people could write these crossover stories, wHY cAn'T I aS WElL?" So I made it my mission to write as many crossover stories as possible and followed Raven and Ola's abominations as examples. The more I wrote crossover stories, the more readers and followers I got (for some reason everyone back then was into that crossover shit). And I guess because they thought my stories were good (by "good" as mean as shitty and cringey as theirs), Raven and Ola included me in their messed up posse and saw me as their friend. And because they followed me, their followers also did the same.

For a while, everything was okay. My stories were blowing up, I was getting recognition and I really thought I was at the top of my game. Raven and Ola never disrespected me or gave me any harsh treatment, and I thought it was because they saw me as a true friend- a friend they would cherish forever, until I realized that wasn't true.

It was because they found another pet who would turn a blind eye at their actions.
