Greetings! This is basically the place where I unleash all my fan-girl musings. Mostly this is a SHINee/EXO biased K-pop blog. ^^ Occasional cameos of other things. ^^ ~ "Noona fan" | Ally | Cake decorator | Chicago ~ Happy blogging! Biases: Onew, Suho, Lay.

Hi guys, I need help lol I work as a cake decorator, and a customer wants this cake, but I don't know enough about BTS to know which members these are. Can anyone tell who they are supposed to be? The pink haired guy is Suga right? Any idea who the other one is? I just wanna find some reference pictures. (Also please ignore the ridiculous use of Korean at the bottom, I didn't design this...) Thanks!

What a shocking and devastating news. 😞 May God give his family and friends the strength and fortitude to bear this tragic loss, and may his soul rest in peace.

[megglesbagels]

God, I'm in tears. I escaped the K-pop rabbit hole years ago, but SHINee has always held a special place in my heart. No matter how long had passed, I'd still listen to their music as a way of feeling better. Even more than missing Jonghyun (which I already do, I assure you), I'm wondering how the other boys are taking it... They've known one another for so long now, I can only imagine what they're going through...

I know, me too..to all of this. Yeah my heart is in pieces for the other members, this has to be like losing a brother, I cant imagine what this is like for them...

I still cant believe it... 

[megglesbagels]

I rarely get on here anymore, but i know all my fellow SHINee fans are also hurting. I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said. SHINee is my fav group, and they've meant so much to me too. My heart hurts for the rest of them, and those who were close to him. And for all my fellow Shawols. Rest in peace, Jonghyun. I hope you have found solace in the great beyond. I hope you know that you are SO incredibly missed already.

[breezeamongstars]

I’m so sad right now. Shinee was one of the first kpop groups I got into and Jonghyun was an amazing soul to be heard and seen..

[megglesbagels]

Same ㅠㅠ

Hi! I'm planning to visit Seoul this summer for 1 - 2 weeks. I'm really excited about that, but I would love to find a travel buddy! Could you post this on your blog for your followers, and maybe there will be someone who is interested, also going there this summer, or is living in Seoul and could help me out a bit. I would be very thankful! :)

Hey all followers, here’s someone looking for a travel buddy to Korea, anyone else going or already there who would want to go too or meet up?? 

Also, general PSA, I have a site called “Kpop Tour Guide” that has lots of directions and some advicey stuff on getting around in Korea, for anyone interested. Just google it, it’ll be the first thing to pop up :)

In response to your query on if others find the nms sensei characters creepy, I can see where you're coming from. And were I of high school age like the protagonist is, I'd fully agree. However I myself am an adult (albeit only 20), so the teachers are the only ones who catch my attention in the long term. The fact I'm studying to /be/ a teacher doesn't help much. >w>;

Looool OK I see that, and yes, I'm not high school age either, and the senseis would definitely be more my age range TBH lol but the fact that they're creeping on a teenager is still weird haha

Someone requested the top two sensei (Sensei and Infirmary Sensei), and I just decided to go ahead and draw Vampire Sensei too, along with Villain Senpai cuz he just seemed to fit with this group lol. Characters from Notice Me Senpai

[megglesbagels]

Brave Black Woman Stands Alone Against Hundreds Of Neo-Nazis

“It was an impulse. I was so angry, I just went out into the street,” Asplund told the Guardian. “I was thinking: ‘hell no, they can’t march here!’ I had this adrenaline. No Nazi is going to march here, it’s not okay.”

The paper reported that Asplund stands just 5’2” and weighs about 110 pounds — yet she stood in the path of some 300 marching neo-Nazis, one of whom shoved her out of the way.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Hmph. I am able to not be a jerk if I wanted to. But I just do not want to. ˘‸˘

[megglesbagels]

hahaha your hashtags gave me life. 

Forgive me your worshipfulnes. I do not walk on the path of darkness, so mine eyes are not accustomed to the splendor of the dark lord’s ways. They are deceived to perceive your foul manners as “jerky” as a result of too much time spent with lighter, more chipper senpai. 

[megglesbagels]

If you could draw Haruka and Kyouya, that would be amazing, I'm sure you'll be getting requests from a fair few people as well, so I'd rather not ask for too many. Thank you so much in advance, I can't wait to see more of your work~ ♡

Posted! And this is the only request I've gotten, so don't worry :)

Some of the best pictures from Women’s March that make you feel the power of people

[megglesbagels]

This gives me life

[megglesbagels]

Omg your art is absolutely stunning! Do you think you'll be drawing anymore of the senpai/sensei from Notice Me Senpai? I would love seeing Haruka/Infirmary sensei in your style!

Aaaahhhh thanks! I drew those on a whim, and I'm so glad people are liking them haha!! Id be down for doing some more! :) If there are others you (or anyone else!) would like to see, let me know and I'll give it a shot :)

[nowisation]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived in Baltimore. I just want to know how many of you are going to the March on Washington? [Cheers and whoops] You guys are going to the women’s march, right? [More shouts and cheers] Okay, a round of applause for all the nasty women on board. [Raucous applause] Stay safe. Stay hydrated. Have a good time. Watch out for your fellow sisters. Just remember, we don’t take no “ish” from no man.

D.Va’s bunny emblem is being used in the Women’s March in Seoul!!!

Hana Song would def approve of this

I’m sorry about the long post but….

You know what’s really cool about this 전디협 (전국 디바 협회 - national D.va association) movement in korea? as much as korea is known for being good at e-sports, female gamers face a SHITLOAD of ridicule and discrimination and by shitload i kid you not. The number of female gamers participating in korean mlg is alarmingly small(or none, in some games), and while some people may think it’s a coincidence, it’s not. Female gamers that are more than capable of competing in mlg are constantly turned away from the gaming scene because people believe ‘men are inherently better at games’, and even if they do participate, they receive a lot more harassment from the viewers than a male gamer would. If they do well, their success is downplayed. If they don’t, their failure is automatically attributed to their gender.

And it’s not just in mlg! The whole gaming scene in korea is a horrible, horrible place for women to be in general- almost all of my gaming friends (and myself) have gotten some kind of sexual harassment just because they got on voicechat. By sexual harassment it’s not just everyday cat-calling(which sucks on its own), women get ACTUAL RAPE THREATS over chat for making a minor mistake(or even just being there). I’m not going to go into detail because just thinking about what they said makes me want to throw up, but you’ll be surprised at how often it happens. Making things worse, a lot of famous streamers use violent language directed towards women such as 삼일한(literally an acronym of ‘women should be beaten every three days’), and make rude comments whenever a woman happens to be in their team. the men who watch this replicate their actions mindlessly, contributing to the violent atmosphere women are already in. Someone might argue Korean gaming culture is just violent and unforgiving in general regardless of gender because gamers get so competitive. Regardless of gender? I don’t think that’s the case.

the “National D.va Association” started as a twitter account managed by one anonymous person, but quickly gathered a huge following of female korean gamers standing against discrimination in the gaming scene. Yes, as someone said, Hana would certainly be proud, but that’s not really what they’re aiming for. In fact, they’re fighting to make the country a better place for Hana to be born in. A country with a gaming culture that doesn’t discourage women from playing games, where women can compete equally with men, where women can actually be at the top of the ranks without being stigmatized and disregarded. They’re actually fighting to make D.va possible.

It might just be a bunny symbol and yes, I get that people are excited to see something from Overwatch in the Women’s march, but that symbol and D.va’s existence as a character means a lot LOT more to us. Please give a big shoutout to everyone that contributed to the National D.va association! I might just be an artist in my corner minding my own business, but as a Korean, a female, and a gamer myself, I can’t find the words to express how proud and glad I am for this kind of movement to actually happen. Thank you Blizzard for Hana Song.

Thanks for reading!
