Welcome to Giving Tuesday! To me, the timing of this huge day for fundraising is so peculiar. The holiday season, after all, is a time when we’re all stretched thin—maybe more so this season than usual! But the idea behind it is that people are more willing to spend right now, so why not persuade… Read More Giving Tuesday with Beneath the Tangles!

Now she’s joined by her teammates/bandmates, Rumi and Mira, to complete Huntrix! ★ 【Kiko.L】 「 K-Pop: Demon Hunters 」
Happy Thanksgiving!! I love Christmas so much, but my favorite single day of the year has always been Thanksgiving.
