So, I just got back from seeing The Greatest Showman with my family, and golly, I’m so glad that I decided to go see it. I was so worried that I had set my expectations up too high and that I was going to get another repeat of my experience with the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Instead, this movie exceeded my expectations, and I loved it. I was even applauding by the end. (Thankfully, the theater only had around 10 people.) Don’t bother complaining here

I found a really amazing picture of Fluttershy by an artist named Auurara, sadly I think this is another of our artists that has vanished. Still the image is amazing and beautiful. I think I'll put it on my phone. XD

This is so beautiful...her voice...

Though this cover tears me up, it makes me happy at the same time? So I really wanted to share.

Sunny Day, the beautiful picture makes me turn around.

Afternoon everyone.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

I just wanted to share a poem with all of you. Itʼs written by a dear friend of mine. Enjoy.

The skin you inhabit is a sacred physical vessel for your soul.
So, be gentle towards your body; it keeps you alive every day.
And I know there are days where itʼs difficult to look in the mirror and smile,
We all struggle with insecurities at times.
Itʼs so easy. To glance at our reflection and think,
“I look like a mess today.”
“I donʼt feel beautiful.”

*Hyenas are very social creatures and live in groups called clans.
*Females tend to be larger than males. Because of this, clans are usually a matriarchy.
*While Hyenas tend to be carnivorous, Aardwolves are actually insectivorous (eats insects/bugs).

Not even a day announced and already we have stuff like this:

I feel happy to be a part of this fandom.

That's right people! Just like last year, I did (more or less) 28 days of famous African-Americans facts for the month of February. This year is more on the continent of Africa itself (as I myself am apparently 46% East African descent...most likely from somewhere around Egypt). So to kick this month off right, let's learn our facts about Africa from A to Z!

A is for.....Africa!

*Africa is the only continent that reaches all 4 hemispheres.
