Challenge #8
In your own space, write a promo, manifesto or primer for a beloved character, relationship or fandom.

All the links are to YouTube videos! (But not embed links unfortunately because I'm on my phone)

Anyway, onto the weekly summary:

This past week flew by so fast! I was pretty busy scrambling to get work done before my deadlines. But I made it through, and now it's time for Christmas celebrations 🎄😊

But let's get through the weekly summary first:

Busy, busy week at work, but I made it through! Can y'all believe we're already through the first week in April?! Time is zooming right now.

But nevermind that, let's talk about this past week.
