HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY GUMBALL!!
          	https://youtu.be/LLrkdmqk4XY
          	
          	15 years ago today on May 3rd, 2011, the world was blessed with the release of the very first episode of  The Amazing World of Gumball, and we were all introduced to Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Nicole, Richard, and all of the other residents of Elmore. And somehow all these years later, this show is still going as strong as ever, despite a few roadbumps, with the revival series giving it a much-needed resurgence after its half-decade break.  
          	
          	Though I haven't actually been in the fandom for all that long, with this year marking my 3rd year here, those three years have changed my life for the better. I've met people who are now some of my closest friends, discovered a passion in writing fanfiction, helped to unearth and document long-forgotten relics of the show's history, gotten to experience the hype and excitement of ushering in a whole new era of the show, and so, so much more!  
          	
          	I knew I had to do something special to mark such a huge milestone, and thus this edit, going through the show's entire history, was born. And, though nothing too special, I'm super proud of how it turned out.   
          	
          	The original idea was to have clips from every single episode of the show, but I quickly realised that was completely impossible with the length of my chosen song unless I wanted to do only half a second of each, and thus I had to scale it down to just the absolute highlights.  
          	
          	I still made sure to represent every aspect of the main TV series I could, including Seasons 1-7, the Early Reel, the Elmore Stream shorts, Waiting for Gumball, the clipshow miniseries, and even the original human version of The News. The only things missing are the comics, books, and games, which would have been difficult to portray in such a medium and impossible to squeeze in with everything else.  
          	
          	I hope you enjoy, and I can't wait to see what the future of this incredible show brings us!

Managed to lock in and get a lot of work done on an oneshot I dusted off and decided to actually finish and release. Should hopefully drop some time today or tomorow depending on how soon I can finish it!

OneFicWonder

@Valha248 Oooh interesting! Maybe if I time it right I'll publish the next College Years chapter at the same time you publish this oneshot!

Hi everyone, I have an announcement to make. I have decided that, in order to speed up my progress on my fanfics, I will now be using AI to write them for me using my prompts and ideas.
          
          I will also be using generative AI to create my story covers from now on as I don't feel like making them myself anymore.
          
          I hope you look forward to the new, AI driven era of Valha that will be egin very soon!

Since so many Vacation AU fanfics are starting to come out, I've put together a timeline of the whole AU and its fics for anyone wanting to read them all in the proper order. Enjoy! 
          
          Looking forward to add to this more in the future as even more fics come out!

@SpartaofGreece I'm sure you'll remember! I, myself, still have some more ideas for them, so by the time those are out, they'll be hard to forget!

Hi, everyone. I have an announcement to make, and unfortunately, it's not a good one.
          
          You may have seen @TawogDude_247's post, and it is indeed true (though very downplayed as to what actually happened). 
          
          Last night, my friends and I had to make the incredibly difficult decision to cut all ties with him.
          
          This is due to him recently beginning to display views and repost political content on his social media that not only go against what I stand for, but were both demeaning to some of my friends and borderline harmful. This includes reels and comments that were transphobic, pro-life, supportive of ICE, pro-MAGA, and more.
          
          After he was confronted about said content, though claiming he was not anti-LGBT, he described himself as a Republican and said things that were hurtful, insensitive to my friends, and again transphobic.
          
          Jay was a great writer and important friend of all of ours, however I cannot and WILL not tolerate such harmful and disgusting views from anyone, regardless of who you are or how long we've known you

SheDemonAndrea

@TawogDude_247 Okay but you kept name-dropping publicly and saying that he and Is8 were toxic when they chose to leave you for y'all's safety and you're still dumping your sappy story online to be a proud victim. You are stalking and harassing users online over OPINIONS, bro. THIS. IS. NOT. TWITTER. Cut the backstory talk and get out because you're defacing yourself more.
