Alright, I couldn't decide how to best present my thoughts about this art challenge, so here's just a summary screenshot to start with - if you would like to see the big versions with the lore you can check out my tag, and the actual list itself is here!
And without further ado, here are my thoughts on this art challenge and finishing it!
Things that helped me finish the challenge
Taking a break day (or two) a week – I have a day job so this was absolutely required to not burn out, lol
Having a theme – This was nor originally intentional, but keeping it worldbuilding related really helped me come up with ideas as there were several prompts where I was just coming up with nothing otherwise.
Small canvas size – These are all fairly small - it was a 6x6 pad. Originally thought it was going to be too small, but ended up being perfect. Since I opted to do full blown scenes I don’t think I would have finished otherwise
Limited Palette/Materials – I learned this from completing previous challenges, but the fewer decisions I have to make the easier it is to do these. This one happened to actually be ink (see materials section) but I have done challenge before with like, "single set of markers"
Displaying the Art – I didn’t like having a loose stack of completed pictures, so I bought a 6x6 photo album to store them in. This was a great decision as they look very cool in there I was very motivated to complete the set
Completion Stickers - Yes, I am 2 years old. I had a paper list where I was putting stickers next to each word as I completed it, and it was very satisfying >_>a
Stuff I liked
Able to practice a medium - Yeah by the end I was feeling way more confident with ink and different techniques (wet on wet, wet on dry, etc)
Got to practice scenes and lighting – I even fit in a ton of OC cameos
Posted all pieces regardless of quality - Although this was not my first list-based challenge it is the first one I posted ALL pieces for
Got some fun pieces to revisit later - There are quite a few I REALLY like for different reasons so it would be fun to do them again later, but spend more time
Kept a consistent quality for the whole challenge - It was tempting to "get lazy" at the end but I think I managed to keep the same general quality the entire time
Used up a bunch of pages in a sketchbook I’m not overly fond of by doing tons of thumbnails - To be quite honest, if I have a sketchbook I hate enough (because the paper is bad or whatever) I will often uh, dismantle them. 8Da; I am not overly fond of the one I'm currently using, but now there's only about 14 pages left so, I will persevere.
Stuff I didn’t like
Time commitment required - Even with the breaks, I was spending almost all evening for 5 weeks working on these, which was a little Much for me. I will have to rethink my approach to any future challenges.
Using WIP designs/Not being able to spend a lot of time on anything – There’s a couple pieces where I wanted to go a certain direction and had to go with Vibes rather than accuracy for the sake of getting it done….which is fine, some of them turned out nice regardless. However would have still liked to hammer things out a little more.
Materials Used
Artsnacks Inktober Box, with some modifications - Something you should know about Artsnacks, is that often the colored materials will be the brand shown, but the color you actually receive will be random. Luckily, I got an Orange ink. Unfortunately, I also have terrible luck with PH Martin’s Orange in that it always separates no matter how much I mix it, so partway through the challenge I replaced it with a Daler Rowney Flame Orange Ink. This is a VERY similar ink, the only difference I really saw was that when diluted a lot it leaned more yellow. Additionally I did not use the blue Faber Castel Pitt pen in the box. TECHNICALLY I could have made green for all those plant pictures, but I refused for the sake of keeping a cohesive Black/Orange color scheme
Ranger Craft-It! Heat Gun - I would not have been able to finish had I not been able to speed up the drying time with this thing, it is the best
Lots of background noise - My noise of choice was a mix between scary cave and cave diving stories, as well as the White Vault podcast, which is a fictional horror audio drama
Bonus Round: Number of OC Appearances
Tower: x4
Torch: x4 (one of them in his plantbeast form)
Cavi: x3
Mady: x1 (also the only non-sion in this list)
Team "New/WIP OCs" -
Aki: x5 (one of them as a doll)
Jas: x2
Aki's sibling (final name pending): x1 (as a statue)

AnotherRound: Deleted Scene
Another Round:The Right Decision Hmmm ok as I think to myself opening my walk in closet door. I need to wear something sexy. Something that would stop him in his tracks. I just wonder what does he really have in store for me. This I definitely cannot wait to see. Hmmm maybe.. I should.... Hold up...press pause...let's fast forward a little and listen real close. I think what you about to read will you have sip harder on your drink and clinch your invisible pearls. This story gets even more deeper and crazy than the last so here we go... He checks us in and escorts me to the restaurant in side and we order the same thing The Grilled Lobster and a bottle of their best champagne. Hours past along with a few laughs and conversations. "I just can't believe that he would say that about you though. That's just stupid. Please don't tell me you believe him, please don't tell me." "There are days where I do but then again I don't cause I know he still loves me then...I hear her voice and the background... anyways. It's whatever." "You deserve better than that though, babe. I know we weren't perfect but I can say those words never left my mouth. " "I know, you didn't and you're right.. but we can't go back those days anymore ..." "Or can we." "Look I told you I'm married and---" "There is something I need to tell you." He was looking so serious and to be honest, a little hurt. I was curious what could be on his mind, or on his chest. Whatever it was I had to brace myself. And pray to God to help me and fix whatever the case maybe. Cause I know I can't handle another heart ache. "Ok tell me what's going on? What's wrong?" "Remember when you said your husband called you and you would hear a woman's voice in the background ?" "Yes...?" "Well that woman's voice was my girl..." "I'm sorry, wait, what?!" " My girl that you was so concerned about was the one cheating with your husband." "How... how do you know this for sure?" "Because she was recording a Snapchat video of her being drunk with some guy. And she got all of his conversations with you on the phone. And I knew it was you, when he called out your name." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am." And I knew he was, he had screenshots of her and my husband on Snapchat. ............ I was completely speechless.. I couldn't find... actually I had no words to respond back. It was so much to take in even though it shouldn't be, because this was some typical shit of my husband to do. I was so mad I couldn't even move an inch. All I could see was red. And me in handcuffs and a bloody body on the floor and the news reporter saying "Wife gone crazy. Found out her husband was cheating, so she cut him from his Adam's apple to his scrotum. Graphic details ..." but luckily my ex snapped me out of it. "Baby girl, listen I know you got that killing look in your eye. I know you're pissed I am too, right? But we can't let them see us sweat. We gon show them we're better than this." Inhaling and exhaling real slow, calming my breathing down. As much as I want to kill my husband for everything he's done to me. My ex was right. We are better than this and that's when I just had the most perfect idea to get them back. I've been saving this decision for a long time, and now it's time to use it. Asking the waiter for another glass of champagne and quickly gulping it down and asking for another. I finally regain myself in my right mind. And I close my eyes and I slowly look at my ex and begin to say.... "I need a favor babe." "Wassup, love?" "I need you to quickly take me to my house. I gotta look for something and make a very important phone call." "I got you baby. Let me pay for dinner and I'll meet you at the front door,ok?" "Ok, baby." We French kiss deep and passionate for about 10 minutes and we looked into each other's eyes..But I quickly remember that we're running out of time. So we quickly leave the hotel and race back to my place. I pull out my iPhone6, and scroll through my contacts. And called up the best divorce lawyer in town. "Hello, Brown Sugar Firm This is Shelia Brown attorney at law." "Heeyyy, girl. "Heyyy beautiful, what's going ,on?" "I'm gonna cut right to the chase I need a damn, good divorce lawyer." "Say no more, you know I got you. Ever since the beginning of y'all's marriage. You know I tried to warn you ,right lol?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah lol I know." "Ok, do you still have the divorce papers, I gave you yesterday?" "Yes, I do." "Do you know, where they are?" "Yes ma'am. I'm almost home, I can get there in less than 8 mins and sign them." "Cool, and all I need you to do is send me any evidence that you have of him cheating and I'll take care of the rest." "This is why I love you." "I love you more boo, text me when it's all done and ready." "Ok thanks girl, bye." "Bye." Finally getting home unlocking the door and disarming the alarm. I tell my ex to come in and make himself at home. While I go in my office and sign the divorce papers on my desk. So I emailed all the screenshots to Sheila and I texted her to let her know everything was done and ready. And she responded fast. "Got it, we're in action!" My ex comes up behind me and kiss my neck and continues to comfort me, I kiss him back. He picks me up and puts me on the desk and puts a lot of hickeys on my neck, whispers in my ear "I love you." I stopped him and asked him was he serious, he said as a cardiac arrest. And then he strokes my cheek and looks me in my eyes. Not looking away for anything, he lifts me and holds me while my legs are wrapped around his body and he proceeds to say me. "Baby girl all these years I've been missing you. I needed you back. And I'm not gonna screw up this time. I promise. I fully intend on treating you like my Queen,like my Goddess, nothing less." All I can say was ... "ohhh baby I love you." And kiss him. "Why don't, we go back to hotel?" "Yeah?" "And picked up where we left off." "I like that but I wanna do something a lil' more different." "Wassup baby?" "Do you have any home girls that wanna have a three sum with you and thick, bad, bitch like me?" "For real?!" "You remember since high school I'm bisexual baby. My husband never knew that. He didn't want to try it either. But hell yea I'm serious. Lemme be corny for a minute. I'm serious as cardiac arrest." "Well then, that case I know the perfect one." Rushing back to the hotel and I'm texting his home girl and she confirmed that she's down with everything. Got me excited and my panties soaking like a super soaker. I'm playing with myself in the car. He looking at me got him hard, but he still gotta focus on the road. Making it to the hotel. We being frisky in front of everybody, especially in the elevator he pushes me against the wall and puts my leg over his shoulder and eats me out. Got me moaning out loud. Flicking his tongue real fast on my pussy like a AK. Not realizing the elevator was on our floor. People looking all shocked, one lady gasping, one man had his phone out. We just laughed and got off and went to our room and we still kissing and touching. He's rubbing my pussy and I'm rubbing his dick, he was hard, throbbing, and ready. His kisses on my neck had me lit. Then we hear a knock on the door. We open it and I see his home girl who was bad as fuck. Sexy legs and thighs dressed in all pink. Curvy and thick in the right places. She had a phat pussy, I could tell by her camel toe through her shorts. Medium,long, black hair, brown eyes and brown skin. Looking like a delicious candy bar. We invited her in. She tells us. "Now let's get this party started." Taking off her jacket and showing nothing but her perky, big breasts. I walk over and kiss her and my new man pull down her shorts and eat her out. We blast some music on his phone through his speakers. 🎶 Now that pipe got her running like she Usain, baby You made me drown in it, oh touche, baby I'm carrying that water, Bobby Boucher, baby You know I'mma slaughter like I'm Jason Bust it, why you got it on safety? White girl wasted on brown liquor I probably shouldn't be around you 'Cause you get wild, wild, wild You looking like there's nothing that you won't do 
I probably shouldn't be around you
'Cause you get wild, wild, wild
You looking like there's nothing that you won't do
Ayy, girl that's when I told you
 When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts🎶 blasting from his phone . *ApexRingtone Ringing* My phone going off. I press ignore, me and Lil' sexy ( is what I call her) decides to give my new bae a lap dance. Twirl our phat asses in his face and teases him real good making sure he can't touch or get it. But we slip up on purpose and let him catch us. He pulls me to him and I look down but he puts his hand under my chin and left my head up. And looks at me deep in my eye. "No longer will you need to look down anymore, that's over now baby. For now on. You keep your pretty head up. Now look at me." He stands up and picks me up off my feet and place me on the bed Put my legs and feet in the air while my heels are still on. Kisses me from my feet, to my calves, to my legs, to my thighs, to my pussy, to both sides of my hips, to my stomach, to my breasts, to my neck, to my lips, mmmm sending chills to my spine his kisses was amazing setting me on fire, got me going crazy again. While his home girl kisses me, caresses my check and my breasts. "You got some nice lips. Beautiful how does my man, feel? Hmm?" "Mmmm shit. He feels so good. Keep going." "Ahhh wet this dick up for me babies ." "Ok daddy." "Ummm mmmm ahh mmm, slurrp." She takes the left side and I take the right. We slurp and suck on his dick keeping up the same rhythm making him lean his head back gasping for air. Moaning low then out loud. "Shhiit, hell yeah. Mmm yea baby girls suck that dick babies. Fuck." "Mmmm ahhh mmmm *chokes on it*" He picks me up and puts me on his dick and lays me down on my back and he makes love to me. And she's playing with herself fingering her pussy deep and slow. The same way how he's stroking me. "Hitting and stroking that pussy nice and slow.. mmm fuck!" "Ahhhh yesss... this.. feel so.. damn amazing." "Yeah daddy make love to her pussy oooh just like that." "Yeah baby. I told you. I got you. Mmm shit." Ahhh fuck. I never had it like this before. And I never had the best of both worlds, I've always wanted to try it and it's fucking litty. I mean damn watching her play with herself was making me wetter and wetter than a tsunami and a hurricane mixed together. He was deep in my pussy had me creaming and leaking my sweet juices all over the bed and his dick. But he was taking his time with it. Every time I tried to look away. He moves my head to him and tells me to look at him. "Every time you look away I will go harder and deeper. ... ok think I'm playing mmm mmm mmm ." "Oooh fuck you not playing damn. Ok, ok, ok, mmm shit yes yes, yes, yes, fuck I'm squirting already but keep going." "You can scratch me up if you want to. It's all good baby. Ahhhh fuck hell yeah." "Ahhh shit, yesss, don't stop. Don't stop." Then she made her way over to us on the bed and she said wanted to know if my head game was really bomb, just like my new bae so she sat her pussy on my face and I was licking and kissing her pussy lips rolling my tongue in circles sucking her clit. "Ahhhh shit yassss girl just like that. Baby are you hitting That pussy ? Ahhhh! Fuck damn girl yasss ahhh!!!" "Mmmm shit ahhhh mmm hmmm." "Damn this some great pussy."

"But baby don't stop." I say with a naughty, slutty, pouty face. "Don't worry baby I'ma still hit this pussy. While you devour my home girl's pussy and I'ma talk at the same time... it's your husband. Allow me." "Hey baby look it's not what seems.. let's talk." "Hey ,sorry, bruh she occupied with me right now. " "What.. WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?!"

"Ahhhh fuck yesss, yesss, yesss, don't stop , ooh ,ohh, ohh, ohhh, yes, yes, don't stop." " Well as you can clearly hear the lady is done with you and just getting started with us . Deuces nicca!" I had to let him know a couple of things before he hung up. I had to slide her sweet pussy to side to speak and say my peace . "Dear future ex husband I'm done with you and your shit, have a good life with out me. The divorce papers are the bed. The same place you left the lovely note along some mysterious black lace panties that fit a size small. That I know damn well don't belong to me.... but anyway the divorce papers are signed, waiting for your signature." "No, no, baby---" "And don't try to deny shit I got receipts. My lawyer will be in touch. Bye!" I went to the fuck-festivities and told my bae to turn the music back up. 🎶Bring that shit back, let you hear somethin' twice Ask how to keep drama clear from her life Said, "I don't know, girl, but here's some advice Stop bein' friendly to the fuckboys Stop bein' friendly to the fuckboys Stop bein' friendly to the fuckboys Stop bein' friendly to the fuckboys" Hold up, I'm who you've been cravin' for The one that you save it for Hop in the shower and shave it for Come and watch Power the day before🎶 *Slide To Power Off* "Mmmm that shit was sexy,daddy.

"Mmmmm shit I'm creaming and cumming again." "It's ok just let it all go on my dick. Making love to this pussy. How it feel baby? " "It feels soooo fucking good daddy damn I needed this .... fuccck!!!!!!!" "I know baby, I know Gotdamn!!!! " Fuck this is exactly what I needed. A good fucking till the sun comes up. I'm lit, eating out a bad bitch, and my ex is pounding the shit out of my pussy. Got damn it's really hard to explain it right now. Especially when the shit is going down right now.... mmm we change positions. This time me and her do a 69 and he fucks her while she eats me, and I lick her clit, while my new bae strokes her, moving his dick in and out. Her pussy is creaming and leaking all over my face, and my pussy is squirting on her tongue. Our pussies are so wet sound like some one is smacking and chewing gum. We moaning loud. Going on for hours. "Mmmmm ahhh fuck that's my spot, daddy" "Ahhhhh shit fuck yea." "Yeah. Take this dick." " ahhh shit I'm gon fuckin squirt again!!!!!" "Ahhhh shit come here baby let me bounce on the dick." "Let's go baby. Turn around lemme see that ass bounce up and down."

And she begins bouncing like we shooting a porno. "Ahhhh fuck ahhh yass yasss." "Yes baby girls ahhh fuck. Mmmm shit." " GOTDAMN IT!!!" "AHhhhh AHHHH MMMM AHHH." "Fuck FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, YASS FUCK ME DADDY." "Ahhhhhh SHIT IM CUMMIN'." "Cum on this dick, come on. Cum on this dick!!!!" "Ahhhhhh. I'm about to nut come here, baby!!!" "Fuck I'm squirting ahhhh ahhhh aahhh ahhh ahhha mmm ummmm umm shit!!!!! SHIT!!!!!". Her squirting going one way and mine going the other. And he's nut is shooting straight up. All three of us exhales in relief and then we all hop in the shower and go to sleep cuddling with my new bae being in the middle. I'm on the right and his homegirl on the left. Fall sound asleep around 8 a.m. Waking up naked in bed to a sexy man, a baddie with a big smile on my face. I get my phone of the night stand and turn it on and it vibrate notifying me a bunch of text messages and missed calls from my girl/ attorney Shelia. "It's finalized. It's done." "Call me. ASAP!" "Hey girl you need to call me back as soon as you get this." So I call her to see what's the emergency. She picked up quick as hell. As y'all know I gotta brace my self for whatever bullshit could happen next. Even though I'm use to it but, still any crazy shit could happen. "Heyyyy girl finally, where you been?" "I've been , uhh .. a little tied up." "Ok. Lol. Anyway how soon can you come down to my office?" "I'm really not far from it about 15 mins away, why?" "Like I texted you, everything is finalized. All y'all gotta is get in front a judge in private and sign this last agreement. And you're divorced." "I'll be there gimme 15 mins,ok?" "Cool bye, girl." *Call Ended* I roll over to wake my bae up and asked him if he can give me a ride to Sheila's office. I told everything that I had to do and he quickly agreed. We woke up his homegirl and let her know that we'll be back, we had to handle some business. She said cool gave us both a kiss and went back to sleep. Then we got dressed and left. While driving to her office just a few miles away. He looks at me, holds my hand and kisses it and he tells me, that he got me no matter what. And I did the same thing in return. Making our way to her office upstairs two hours later in front of the judge. He asked me and my ex husband if we had any final things to say before leave this room and go our separate ways. My ex husband had the nerve to speak up and try to give me a crappy apology. He should've known, I was not going to accept it. But he keep going and we got in to a big argument. I was trying to be the bigger person, thank the judge for everything and walk away but this fool gonna grab my arm aggressively and told me I'm not gonna go anywhere until he was done talking. I pushed him off, I maybe little but I got some fire in me, fuck with me and you gonna get hurt. No threats, all promises. And this fool tried grabbing me again! The judge tried to warn him to stop, but he kept on going. Then when I yelled "Get the hell off of me!!". My bae barges in, but a female comes in with him. My bae got in my ex-husband's face. The mysterious female got in mine. Everybody was going back and forth. It was like an episode of Love and Hip Hop. "Ay, man get the fuck off my girl!" "She's my damn wife!" "Nah, homie EX-wife, you fucked that up, remember?" "Bitch, back up away from my man ." "Excuse you. Your man? No, no, you fucked that up too.. now I know you yeah. You fucked that up screwing around with my EX- husband on Snapchat. " "Bitch you ain't got no proof of that shit!" " First of all. BITCH! I got the receipts. Why you think this divorce got finalized so quick?! Dumb bitch." "Oh I got yo dumb bitch! Let's go." She pulls my hair, I pull hers but I get loose and push her to ground and punch her in the face a couple of times. She nicks me a little here and there we going back and forth until my bae pull me off of her. And she still talking shit on the ground with officers busting in the room and holding her down. The judge tells us to leave, before he send us both to jail. Luckily Shelia conceives the judge to let us go, and she hugs me to let me know that it's clear and I'm in good hands, so I don't need to fight. She tells me she'll call me later. Then my bae gets me to calm down and kisses me. Because he thought me and his ex fighting was sexy and it turned him on. We kissed and we get back in his 2017 Navy Blue Dodge Charger, and head back to the hotel. "But all jokes aside baby, I'm so glad I got you back.... I missed you." " I missed you more..." Then our song plays on his radio synced from his iPhone7. And he pulls over and looks at the back seat. And looks back at me. 🎶Pussy wet and dripping, I been like sipping I eat the pussy with precision 6 rings, Jordan, Pippen I do gymnastics with a brick and flip it Money to the ceiling, no I ain't tripping No conversation🎶 "You wanna have some in the back seat, baby?" "Mmmm you read my mind. Follow me." Both of us getting in the back and I straddle him and we kiss passionately while the music play and the bass hit. He unclips my bra and I take of his shirt.... 2 years and 12month laters... we got married and we have beautiful 3 months old twin girls, a brand new penthouse, in Beverly Hills. My massage therapist career really took off. Now I give out the best massages to A-List celebrities. And my man a started his own game system, he's been working on since high school. He just signed a 3.4 Million dollar contract deal with Sony. And we have been named one of the main power couples on social media. We are truly blessed. We wouldn't trade it for anything. So I guess everybody deserves second chances every now and then. We just have to use our best judgement, because I learned through out all of this. I deserved better. It was the best decision I ever made. Looking over the beautiful, California view. *Suddenly The Music Volume Goes Up* 🎶Baby you know who I am and girl I know just who you are🎶 And there is my bae with a glass of Hennessy. Totally naked, sexy smirking at me. 🎶We ain't gotta rush into shit cause being in love is too hard I'm tired of all these flashing lights, girl we should just fuck in the dark Once you let me in it, I'mma get to switching, different positions Have that ass wishing that I was your nigga Wishing that I was your nigga, yeah yeah yeah Wishing that I was your nigga, yeah Once you let me in it, I'mma get to switching, different positions Have that ass wishing that I was your nigga🎶 "Come on baby, the twins are asleep. And our song is on and you know what that mean..." "It's Game Time." Both of us saying our sex-que at the same damn time. Dropping my robe on the floor. Taking a sip of my Hennessy, kissing him and pushing him on the bed. I'll holla at y'all next time, deuces *Closes The Door* " Mmmm, ahhh ,Ahhh daddy." "Yeah, mommy." 🎶Wishing that I was your nigga Wishing that I was your nigga Oh, oh, wish I was yours Haha, wishing that I was your nigga Breezy holla at me🎶 MrsKandiiBaby💋🍭👅💦😏😘😜

CNU MEGAPOST
Yes, I finally got around to reposting it in all it’s humble glory~! ✨✨
To give a quick backstory for those who did not see the original, I received an ask about a year ago asking why CNU was my ultimate bias (and to explain it in detail). Of course, me being the wordy person I am (In addition to how much I actually do just adore the bear), I wrote an extremely long-winded response.
Unfortunately since I deleted my blog a few months after posting, my CNU Megapost got lost along with it. So! Under the cut is my original answer to why exactly I love CNU~  (anything italics represents new notes, the rest is unchanged! Besides a few new gifs)
Original introduction:
ahh this sounds like an exam question! haha I must admit, I had this finished a few days ago. But, what better day to post this than on CNU’s Birthday? So, Happy Birthday Shinwoo! This is better than any sappy gif set I could make anyways!
Reading my tags, I’m sure you can see that I am quite verbose at times. So I certainly can give you a very detailed explanation of why I adore CNU... which I’ll put under a cut for obvious length reasons.
So I tried to think of the best way to go about this and keep it organized. I have some main points that I then went further into detail describing, and listed them in what I guess we can say is least important to most important.
First off, as I’m sure many would say about their bias, I obviously find him attractive. To be honest, it didn’t start out this way. The first time I saw B1A4, it was stumbling upon their ‘Beautiful Target’ MV they had released just a few weeks prior at the time, and CNU looked like this:
Tumblr media
(didn’t I screenshot such a nice moment?) Ok, in his defense none of them looked spectacular, although they all did look super adorable. I didn’t have a bias right away, but I did quickly fall for the group themselves. It didn’t take too long before CNU’s more gentle appearance got to me though. I loved his sweet eye smile, and how he had non-standard idol features, like his round nose and bunny teeth, his glasses and funky hairdos.
Tumblr media
I’ll link some other beautiful photos of younger CNU --> (x)(x)(x)(x) Also, he looked almost pretty enough to be a girl at times:
Tumblr media
UGH that was a look. Anyways, as he matured, despite loosing the quirky hairdos, opting to not wear glasses as often, and shaving down his bunny teeth (took some time but I did eventually get over Baro and him doing it lol), I found him to become even more attractive. He filled out and became this mega broad-shouldered man capable of giving me pseudo heart palpations. (Also on a side note, I also think it’s nice that he’s not super thin like the majority of idols.)

(of course I needed to include a pic with the black t-shirt, I think any BANA would agree 😉 ) More CNU-shoulder-man pics--> (x)(x)(x)(x)(x) Despite his more masculine look, he is still the same adorable bear that he’s always been:

Some may have already seen, but I have a post (heh, not anymore, that was from pre-deleted blog) which has my favorite pictures of CNU from 2016, or you can also check out my horribly named tags for CNU. And... I think it’s safe to say he puts the ‘dong’ in Shin Dongwoo *runs away*
Tumblr media

ok! Wow, first bullet point done!
As a next point, I love the way that CNU treats his fans in such a manner of adoration. All of the boys have their own manner of acknowledging the fans. We all know Gongchan has his insane fan service: Jinyoung writes songs and tries to include BANA in their projects, Sandeul and Baro like to play off each other to entertain them... but CNU’s actions are a little more understated. In the beginning, it was a running joke that CNU was even too embarrassed to say he loved the fans. He was a very shy bear when they debuted. Even so, you can tell in the conversations and responses he had with the fans, even back in the beginning, how much he cared about them, giving them advice and wanting them to do and be the best that they could be. It’s something he continues to do still, even though luckily for us he’s overcome his fear of the ‘L’ word. Instead of just telling the fans that from the beginning, he waited until he was comfortable with it, when we knew it was sincere. In his posts, he trusts the fans by giving them updates on how he is, even when the news is sad. He continues to give his advice, and presents it in such a way that we know that we’re not going through it alone-- he has his down days, his doubts and his own anxieties, just like everyone else. But his encouragement to always push forward is something I admire so greatly in him. He always remembers to drop by, even just to say hi. And he always reminds us that we help him, just as much as he (tw: suicide mention in the following ‘helps’ link-->) helps us. While his responses may be simple at times, they are heartfelt, and even through his interactions and gaze you can truly see how much he cares.

Some other CNU w/fans/fan letter pics --> (x)(x)(x)(x) Note the beautiful smile in each one. In other words, CNU doesn’t cover up who he is for the fan’s sake. He trusts us enough to be honest with what he is going through (although this took some time for him to work up to, which I’ll be getting to later), and is genuinely interested in how our well being is. To me, the fact that he isn’t over the top, instead opting to have more mundane, normal conservations through twitter or the fancafes demonstrates a sincerity that is hard to come by, especially with people you don’t know. But for CNU, if you’re a BANA, than you are part of this intimate circle. You can feel his appreciation of your support.
Now to get into the more detailed points. (The first two were child’s play compared to these next two 😌 ) I love CNU’s relationships with his fellow members. They are the people he has been with since he was in high school. Who he began with, in a nondescript building where they had only a few rooms to train in. He spent sleepless nights with them, worrying if they were good enough to debut, if they even had a chance to make it. Even before they deputed, there was already so much they had been through together, stories that they shared in their small dorm. In such a cramped space, you have little choice but to express your emotions with each other; And B1A4 made it a promise amongst themselves, since the beginning, that they would be open and talk with each other. Alright, so I admit I’m getting off track here, since this is about my CNU thirst and not about pre-debut B1A4. But I think there needs to be a little background set-up to better understand where I’m going with this. The basis of the members’ relationships was set up from these beginnings, and gradually evolved into the deep brotherhood they have today. 
With Gongchan, CNU had certainly felt the need to step in and fill the older brother role. Though Gongchan was an older sibling himself, with the members even admitting his maturity, that wouldn’t stop CNU from being a protector.  He felt the need to correct Gongchan, and while of course coming from a good place, it was something that Gongchan didn’t come to understand and appreciate until much later. Maybe because of this, Gongchan was said to be awkward around CNU (although I personally don’t really believe this, I think that they are both just the type to be comfortable with silence. Besides, there’s still plenty of moments from the early days where they were caught goofing with each other! )
Tumblr media
My favorite thing about the Shinchan relationship is that CNU respects Gongchan, and has acknowledged that as Gongchan got older, he was no longer the same minor that needed direction at every turn. I think CNU and Gongchan make a nice pair, with CNU able to have moments of seriousness with him, but also being able to let down his guard and have some fun himself.

In the end, its the little things; the cute moments they share with each other during interviews
Tumblr media
the casual touches:

and CNU’s general love for Gongchan’s well sculptured butt. (Well, all the members’ love lmao)
Tumblr media
CNU’s relationship with Baro I think is an interesting one-- Shinro, or as I and some other’s like to call it, 2woo (cause who wouldn’t want two woo’s for the price of 1, ha ). Similar to Gongchan, CNU acted more as a guardian to Baro in the beginning than a fellow teammate. Baro himself has admitted that he got into trouble pre-debut (only some white lies and skipped practices, remember we’re talking about the living, breathing, walking, angels B1A4), which lead to CNU stepping in to help get him back on track. It wasn’t all scolding however; CNU took his place as guardian in a more emotional way when Baro thought he would be alone at his graduation. Showing up there with Jinyoung cemented his place as a support system that was deeper than being just teammates. What adds an interesting layer to their relationship is their liking for similar r&b and hip-hop music/style, something the other members don’t really share. Out of this, comes the true 2woo brotp pureness-- seen in the beautiful selcas here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(was only going to include one but they lookin mighty fine in suits) But this bro realness was always there, from the beginning:
youtube
And has never gone away. Of course it’s not all swagness, with them having their cute moments as well. But while Gongchan brings out a pure, maternal side to our bear, Baro brings out his hidden Usher. It is more of a brotherhood dynamic, with less cute skinship and more of the sibling roughness (not necessarily physical roughness) many of us can relate to.

Compared to the other two, I don’t think Sandeul was quite as dependent on CNU to steer him. Despite the quirky, loud duck we tend to see on programs, Sandeul has always seemed to have a pretty good head on his shoulders. What Sandeul does bring out in CNU, however, is his own inner child and playfulness. There’s a comfort to their relationship, that was always apparent from day one. I’d think a lot of people would argue, just by glancing at the dynamics of the group over the years, that CNU and Sandeul are the closest (and looks like I still stand by this!). And while I’m not sure if that’s true necessarily, they definitely are physically the closest, with CNU having an ease with touching and playing around with him. A lot of times, I think CNU relies on physically teasing Sandeul to help ease any tension he may be feeling, or to try and generate a laugh. They play off each other quite well. And while there may be a few moments where I’m even internally screaming for CNU to leave our poor duck alone for 10 minutes, Sandeul never seems to mind, and I think this is because he knows CNU’s motives aren’t tainted. Once and a while, Sandeul even gets the chance to get his small revenges on CNU. (and I live for those moments. Especially when he gets back at Baro too.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Too cute. Like I had mentioned, despite CNU’s nagging and occasional torments, their relationship is extremely close, because CNU respects Sandeul for the large and important role that he plays in the group. He is the main vocal, and when it comes to his singing, CNU is always one to compliment Sandeul, mentioning how cool he appears singing. CNU went to Sandeul for advice when it was his turn to take a stab at musicals, knowing that Sandeul has had more experience than he has. It is this yin and yang, the lighted hearted jokes with the deep mutual respect, that really allows CNU and Sandeul to be so close to each other.
Tumblr media
Ah, down to the final member. Jinyoung and CNU, my otp *screams ‘shinyoung' from the rooftops* And of course, since they’re my otp, the laws of the universe say that they must interact the least with each other compared to all the other members. But, that doesn’t mean they aren’t close. Pre-debut, I think CNU and Jinyoung spent the most amount of time together out of all the members. Being the same age, it was natural for them to become close. Once they graduated from high school, they even went to Japan together, a trip with just the two of them. From their first impressions of one another, they began to rely on each other a lot. With Jinyoung taking the more ‘father’ role of the group and cnu falling into place as the ‘mom’, it was just natural for them to develop an easy way of communication as the ‘parents’ that didn’t need to involve the bold displays of affection like that seen with CNU and the younger members. The members themselves know of the lack of physical affection between the two eldest, and much of the skinship/moments we do see with them is generally due to the younger three initiating it or ganging up on the two grandpas, leading to wonderfully cute, awkward moments. (It seems the others are just as big of Shinyoung supporters as I am! lol) The Nico Nico Japan program also seems to feed off of forcing the duo into great situations as well. The moments shared between the two when not harassed by the members are generally much simpler, but endearing all the same. I think there’s a slight trepidation to show how much fun they do have together, but they provide some of the funniest moments that bipo as to offer. There’s a humor between the two, that unfortunately seems to get overshadowed by the louder pairs. But there’s also a tenderness to it as well— CNU isn’t afraid to cling onto Jinyoung during times of weakness, and Jinyoung isn’t afraid to lose it with his crush-like giggles over the stupid things CNU jokes about, or have CNU help him when he gets lost. (honestly though, half the time it isn’t even remotely funny but hey, CNU has seemed to found Jinyoung’s sense of humor) Bottom line is that the Shinyoung relationship is one built on an extreme amount of respect, and even a slight dependence, on one another. It is understated, but complex, seen only truly in the small shared moments versus the forced comicalness.

I think this video below from CNU’s first birthday after their debut provides a cute summary of what I mentioned above. I think each of the relationships shine, in their own way as they each wish CNU happy birthday.
youtube
This last point was the most difficult, and took me the longest to write. How can I begin to explain what I really love about CNU? That every little component that makes him up, I find to be so perfectly wonderful? I admit that I’m being quite sappy, but for the most part, it is true. Going back to what I first said at the beginning of this post, my first impression of CNU and the rest of the boys was that they just seemed like goofy, happy guys around the same age as me, dressed in silly outfits. They radiated positivity and a genuine warmth that immediately got me hooked. With CNU, he was very quiet for the most part during those early years. In reality, he’s still not a talker now, but in comparison he was really quiet back then lol. I think what stood out to me was that he always seemed to be both a step behind, and a step ahead, but never fully immersed in the present. What I mean is, he always seemed to be thinking of what was just said, turning it over in his mind, while thinking of how to react with what was said or done. And by the time he thought of what he considered the appropriate reaction, the moment would have passed anyway. Not only mentally, but for physical reactions as well, he is always thinking about the action fully before planning his own move. It wasn’t before long that the joke came about of him being slow, like a bear. And while the members themselves have admitted from time to time that in actuality, CNU can be quite fast if he needs to, I think it stems from all this internal thinking and contemplation constantly going through his mind. His outward appearance may look and be slow, but internally, I think his mind is constantly churning ideas. Specifically, what drew me in, is that I can relate to this very much myself. Now, I’m not physically slow like CNU may be half the time, but mentally, I do find myself going over what people say, thinking why they may have said it, what motivations they may have (not necessarily bad motivations either— this could be with my family and friends too, much like CNU with his members). But, for the most part, I used to do this when I would find myself being unsure, or in uncertain situations where I would feel a little uncomfortable. This got me to thinking, is that why CNU is like this? And in my opinion, I would say yes. In the beginning, I think CNU was very unsure of himself. Unsure of how he should act, unsure of how he should react, unsure of how he looked, unsure of what others thought of him, unsure if he was even cut out to be an idol. So I think relating to him in this way made him seem so human to me. I feel like when idols first debut they always seem to cute and shiny and new. But having an idol like him that I could see some doubts with, I was just stunned. He’s a very internal person, and I think he was so shy early on, like with doing aegyo, or telling the fans he loved them, because it was something out of his comfort zone, and because of that, he had a fear of messing up. And if he messed up, he was in turn afraid it would get negative reactions out of watchers or even fans. I had already mentioned how much CNU cares about his fans, but bringing it back to him personally, I think there’s one incident that really sums all this up. Basically, he forgot a fan’s letter in the dressing room, and later, someone discovered that it was thrown in the trash (probably by a janitor or other staff). But in his long winded apology he goes on about even mentioned that he knows this fan because of the type of paper design they use, shows not only his care, but also this fear I had mentioned that people might judge him, especially over an accident that was not his fault. Again, this is something I can relate to, as I’m sure many of us can. We want people to like us, but the fact that it’s really out of our control is scary. We can try as hard as we can, but with one wrong move (especially in the idol business) it can all go out the window. Another moment demonstrating this mentality of his was when B1A4 finally (finally!!) had their first win with What’s Happening.
youtube
(Ahh I still get goosebumps watching it!!) But really, look at his reaction. All of them I think had the thought of ‘Yes! We Made It!’ Gongchan’s getting emotional, Sandeul’s hiding in the back, Baro starts to cry and the end, Jinyoung’s barely holding it together… but CNU is literally sobbing, breaking down, on stage. This is one of the first times he can’t control what everyone sees, and it’s ironic because the main reason he is breaking down is because he’s probably thinking that yes, after all this time, they do like us, they do accept me. After so many years of being unsure of himself, and being our introspective bear, thinking too much about how he should act, here’s a moment when he finally lets it go. It’s been so great seeing him grow, and in a sense, mature, out of this state. With their last comeback (last comeback means ‘Sweet Girl’ based upon when I initially wrote this), he let his emotions flow freely; Going to their most recent Private Life ep, we can see him being silly and doing crazy dances with Jinyoung, singing the ‘Pick Me’ song. (I had linked it above in the Jinyoung section lol). I think a lot of Banas who have been following bipo for some time would agree with me that, what we saw in that video, would never have happened with debut—2013 CNU. Sure, he did silly things and had cute moments, but it was generally with the members always there, especially Sandeul or Baro, acting as his barrier or cushion. But that’s an example of him just letting go. It’s funny, because over the years as he became more comfortable with himself, I did too; so we grew together in that sense.
CNU has mentioned mutliple times that being a singer, being able to perform on stage, was a dream of his. His mother being a singer (as far as we know, actually compared to the rest of the members I feel like we know very little about his family), and even being in a band with his friends in high school, it was clear this was a passion of his. He didn't let prior failed auditions stop him, as he continued to perform on stage. And by a stroke of luck, a WM rep fell in love with the aura and smile that CNU gave off, and smartly recruited him. (Thank goodness! lol) He started with small steps, focusing on being the ‘best dancer’ of the group, kind of being the jack of all trades. Not as good as Sandeul in singing, not as good as Baro in rapping, but adequate enough to fill either role when needed. He started helping writing lyrics, like working with Baro on their early title track ‘Beautiful Target’, before eventually composing his own hella smooth jams (with some questionable lyrics 😏). He has improved so much, but the great thing is that he wants to continue to improve. He was one of the first in the group to get an acting job, but was smart and knew at the time that it probably wasn’t the right move for him— he wasn’t ready, or skilled enough. But now, he’s out starring in musicals. It was confirmed last Fall (fall of 2015) that he was suffering with a knee injury, but was postponing any treatment because he wanted to stick through their promotions, to finish on stage with his members and fans. However, he has suffered with knee problems for quite some time (It might be a good idea to warn people about the video I’m about to link —> x <— it may make some uncomfortable to watch if you don’t like seeing people in discomfort). But the point is, he persevered through it all; through the chronic pain, through the tryouts and auditions, through the years as rookies, until being able to stand on stage, with his members or on his own, singing and dancing to songs he composed and wrote. I really admire this kind of tenacity in him.
This last paragraph (haha yes, we’re almost done!!) is going to be more of a list almost, random things that I’m going to type as they come to me, that I think adds to his character, and why I love him. I previously called him an introspective bear, and I think that first word is a really good descriptor of him. (well both of them are really, he's always been the bear!) Going through and listing the synonyms for that word, they all fall into place to describe him: introvert, self-analyzing, thoughtful, meditative, all words that fit him. He’s a nurturer: he takes care of the members, making sure to do something as simple as checking to make sure all the lights were turned off and being the last one to do a quick check that no one forgot anything when they still lived together. He gets comfort from physical contact with the members, and gets sad when he wakes up to find they left to go eat without him. He was so protective of baby Eunsol and Hyunwoo on Hello Baby, demonstrating his patience and care.

It was also on another reality show, Sesame Player (which IMO is still the top reality they’ve had) that the infamous (or at least in the Bana fandom) cupcake incident occurred. It’s mostly a funny moment, but basically cnu bakes a half plain, half chocolate cupcake representing the unity of North and South Korea. Like I said, it’s a little silly, but when you think about it, what 21 year old actually thinks of something that deep when making cupcakes? Our introspective bear, of course! It’s these little glimpses to me that are most prominent; but rarely are they specifically about him. I had mentioned earlier that we know very little about CNU’s family; and in one of the most raw, personal stories that we ever heard from him, he opened up and talked about his father’s alcoholism, and the effects it had on him and his sister growing up. All in all, he was still fairy tight-lipped about this, so we don’t know what happened for sure except for what he’s actually told us. But, I just get the feeling that CNU didn’t have all of the… ‘resources’ growing up (I’m sorry I can’t think of the right word there 😣 hopefully what I’m saying makes sense) compared to say, Jinyoung for example. And the fact that he grew into such a warm, thoughtful and caring young man, makes me wonder if he’s trying to make up for what he *maybe* lacked; but it’s also so telling of the wonderful person he is through and through. On the other hand though, he obviously loves his mother very much, as he always mentions his ideal type would be someone caring like his mother. And again, maybe this want for a more motherly, caring gf tells us something as well. Either way, I think CNU is in a great place now, surrounded by his friends and the people he cares most about. He’s doing what he loves, and he knows he has the fans love and support which in the end, is what he thrives on, what keeps him going. I’m very proud of him.
As I conclude this… “gospel of CNU” lol, there’s just a few more remarks I want to make. First, I want to apologize, because although I would normally consider myself a fairly decent writer, this was a lot more difficult that I expected. I feel like I’m a little all over the place; and although it’s easy in my mind to think of why I love CNU, it’s much more complex to actually choose the right words. Second, I’m sorry how long it took! Once I started writing it though, I just couldn’t stop adding more. In a way, I’m very happy I wrote all of this though… being a fan of the boys, with CNU as my bias, for so long, I felt like it was necessary and deserving to write something like this for him. I may rely too much on my opinions at times, or an almost ‘meta’ analysis, but I hope my points come across well. My hope is that some random person will read this, and maybe turn them into a fan of CNU, and B1A4. All five boys are so deserving of all the happiness and good fortune they can get; I love them all.
And lastly, I just want to say thanks to anyone who actually took the time to read this to the end. I, (and I’m sure CNU!) appreciate it~!!

  Favorite moments from August
The 5th: Reaching my $10k savings goal.
I finally saved $10k after a LONG time of trying to save. Originally my $5k goal started in April 2019. I had like $1k in savings for a while and I could because of groceries, my phone bill and cat supplies. Finally I got some savings and I’m so happy and proud of myself. Now it just has to keep going higher in order to buy a house.
That is my main goal so I’m getting there in a good pace. I’m hoping to get my family and I a big enough house so that we can all live together including my one sibling, mom and myself so that we can all be safe together. We are a pretty close-knit family that doesn’t do too well once we are living separated, so that’s why I hope to get a place for all of us to be neighbors lol
@streamlabs
Luckily I have some people in my life to count on a bit, but I would also like to spread that love and rent out to someone in need. I’m grateful for my landlord who is a family friend of ours. She helped us a lot through out the years. She rented to me and my husband for $500 and it was a pretty ugly basement, but it’s a place nonetheless and with free wifi and washer and dryer. We were really happy. I hope to have that kind of space for a couple one of these days, or just a small family who needs cheap rent.
SOYVIRGO.COM SHOP: Shop is officially open (I MADE MY FIRST SALE!)
Well this month I went crazy uploading stuff on my shop and making graphics. I only want to sell physical products for a little and then start selling ebooks and digital products. These are a few of my items so far:
I will be adjusting everything and adding and removing stuff if I don’t make sales. I just want to see what people like and sell a lot of items that are more eco friendly and a favorite with customers. I’m not okay with selling lots of products that use fabrics that aren’t sustainable so that’s why I’m thinking of just selling a few things and then making more digital stuff eventually.
Also, yes I made my first sale thank you so much you know who you are!! It’s crazy because I didn’t know I had to do more to set up my shop which was kind of dumb of me lol. I didn’t even set up my accounts to collect the money. Very bad, but luckily my friend made a purchase so I was able to ask them to hold on for a bit until I finished the sale.
  August favorites 2020: screenshots + photo dump? 
Well I always take screenshots to share stuff on my pinterest or “finsta” but I should also share them here with you guys!
  i just saw this and couldn’t stop laughing – for me it’s relatable because i felt this way when i quit my gas station job. my boss kinda looked upset that i was leaving but that’s what they get for playing with my check
    The 23rd: Meeting my best views ever goal TWICE
I met this goal two times in the month and I’m so shocked!! I’m so happy!
My best views ever so far was on August 23rd when I got 253 views/visits. My last one was around august 8th. Hopefully I can reach those goals every month.

    The 28th: WINNING A GIVEAWAY FROM LIFESTYLEWITHKRIS.COM
So I won an amazing gratitude journal from Kris. Check her site out!
I’m opening it now to show you guys what I got. I’m just so grateful because I haven’t won any giveaways for a long time! You can also purchase the set here.
Giveaway planning: PLANNING MY BDAY GIVEAWAY 
I’m planning a giveaway and you can join on twitter, IG, or here. I’m thinking of doing a goodies box with clothes that I brought here but can’t get rid of and that don’t fit me so hopefully someone will love to win them! I also am thinking of doing a $20 giveaway to have more people join lol
Are you guys interested in that and what else would you like in the giveaway? Just let me know!
In the future I would love to have a giveaway with my products, but for now, that would be too expensive. It’s a plan for the future though!
    August Favorites 2020 | life goals:
New section! Life goals is like blog goals, but lifestyle related
Make more shop sales
Well, I made a sale on August 28th! In September I hope to make at least 4 sales. How will I do that? I will try marketing. I need to work on my products and come up with a lot of designs to sell and see which do best and which ones are good enough to promote online somewhere. Wish me luck!
Better Sleep
I want to have better sleep because sometimes, like last night, I sleep for too little, and sometimes I sleep too long! I went to sleep at 5am and woke up at 2pm and now it’s 4pm. I have too much work to do on my site to be waking up so late in the day!
YOGA or MEDITATING or SOME KIND OF MOVEMENT
I remember doing yoga back in like 2018 and my body felt amazing, I barely had back pain. Now I have a lot because I don’t have a desk to work at, I just sit on the couch in awkward positions. I also sleep uncomfortably.
So now since I’m completing other goals like financial goals, I want to work on my body now and mental health while also keeping up the financial/work goals.
Digital De-cluttering
In September I have a lot of blog posts planned because it’s my Bday month so I want to make a lot of content related to September babies. I mean my site name is I’m a virgo in spanish, so might as well work more on content related to virgos, right?
I also want to de-clutter my emails my messages my saved content and all that.. but I feel like I won’t complete it all next month. Might have to be done in October.

Milky Way (Boa) – Red Velvet Cover
I love RV so much! I really am into NUEST and RV because it’s cool noticing the similarities between them.
they are both 5 members
the second oldest (joy and minhyun) are the tallest members
they both have a member who are from another country and speak english (aron is from the u.s and wendy is from canada)
the third oldest are the main dancers (seulgi and jr)
Yeah, I just think it’s cool because I love them both so much and would spend my money to see them both!
youtube
      Day 1 Live in Japan by Red Velvet
this is an old song but I’ve always loved it. Seeing it live and seeing my fav idol Joy crying makes me want to work more better and be happier so one day I can see my girls live lol
youtube
  NUEST’S ALBUM THE TABLE 
I’ve been listening to this album a ton on spotify! I can’t get over it the whole album is so good. I guess the only song I would skip is Trust Me. But it’s still one of those kpop albums where I don’t really HATE even one song.
There’s almost never an album that I can listen to all the way through that’s why I don’t STAN many groups. I usually just like one or a few songs from one artist. For nuest, I enjoy most of their songs so that’s why I guess people would consider me a nuest stan and that’s why I would pay money to see them live, just like I did when I went to see bands live in my high school days.
The same goes for Red Velvet, I have a ton of their songs on my playlists and it’s not just 5 of their songs from their whole discography. It’s sometimes almost their whole albums. If you like my music taste, remember to follow me on spotify!

    If you have any fav songs you want to recommend me just list them below! I’m always looking for more artists to find.

So I realized I haven’t finished this show even though I mentioned it a while back. This is the final episode of this series, it ended so abruptly for me but whatever.

  I think i finished this nuest lab series… it was funny and weird, they were breaking eggs smfh

    Itaewon Class
So I’m super obsessed with this show right now. I finally started watching it after it was getting really popular online for some reason. I thought it was popular for being a show for youngsters. Apparently it’s about coming out on top? Well I will try to explain without spilling the beans!

    It’s about a hard past and coming out on top, like the underdog winning in the end. I really like that kind of story because I believe you can get to the top by being a good person, and that’s kinda what this show is about. That’s what it looks like to me at least. Everyone really SUCKS exempt for the main lead, the evil male lead, wow they are so good at being EVIL. I will make a blog post about this show and giving my ratings because OOF there is so much.
I also like the girl that is playing a trans girl. Lee Yoo Jung plays her, and I first loved her when I saw Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Soo! You guys should watch that too. I was watching it probably before I started this series, or before I started this blog even. Anyways, yeah I loved it! I might start posting about dramas I recommend so I can rate them and suggest more for you guys. Would you all enjoy a small series like that?

You guys know about this show since I mentioned it this month but if you want to read about it BEFORE watching, then check out the link below!
Read about Immigration Nation before you watch!
It was pretty sad but it shows the harsh truths about what immigrants and immigrant families go through all thanks to the evil trump regime, and basically all regimes? Obama’s govn’t wasn’t that pleasant for all families don’t get me wrong.
Dead To Me (finished)
So I finished this show it was pretty dang good! I recommend it if you like drama and suspense with female leads. Also if you’re lgbtq+ it has some of that representation which is something I RARELY ever see on TV shows.

This is where I will share my goals related to my site/ working
  Instagram
It’s shocking that once I really decided to take a break from IG, I started to gain more follows… weird. Last month I had like 360..
Todays Stats: 385 Goals for Sep: find more blogger friends and make sales through here!
  Twitter
I’m finally sooo close to 300…
Today’s Stats: 254 followers Goals: 500 followers
  Pinterest
When I started editing this post which was on August 8, I had more than 6k followers, more than 6 million monthly views and 500k engagement. Now it’s finally September and I reached a whole million more than the beginning of the month. I only hope to reach my goals of getting 10m by september!
  Today’s Stats: 7k+ follows, 7 million views Goals: 10 million monthly views by the end of September! I’ll try to work extra hard!

I barely get 200 views now but that’s a huge upgrade considering I would get 50 views daily in the beginning of last year. I’m really happy because it’s so hard to get views up so quick and I somehow did it in about a month.
I met my goal!
Last month I wanted 5k monthly views and I met that goal. I was at 4.7k and this month went up by a lot! I didn’t reach 300 daily views but hopefully we can work towards those bigger goals. I guess in the end it’s best to get comments? Or maybe shares and going viral and making sales. That might be a bigger goal now. I would love to reach more viewers who enjoy my content and find my posts helpful because that’s really why I started my site in the first place.
Today’s Stats: 200+ daily views, 5,700+ monthly views Goals: 250+ daily views, 5,700 monthly views, 300+ followers.
