I have two new-ish videos to share. I am a bit remiss at sharing one, but I have vowed never to view it myself so I forgot it existed.
The other one is more recent.
Halloween song
HoneydukesI feel like I'm reading all the time but don't feel like a reader anymore. It's all either fanfiction or fluffy romance books and that's life. 2021, babeyy!
