Taryn Donna (Cassandra)
Katie Hutton (Rumpelteazer)
To be very, very clear -- my issues with makeup have absolutely *nothing* to do with these incredible and beautiful performers. It's purely with the design, nothing else.
I adore Katie Hutton and have since she landed in Seoul last month and proceeded to be THE most excited person EVER to be cast in Cats! Her enthusiasm and love is contagious and this makeup -- does her no justice. She deserves better. They all deserve better.
So much love to these extraordinary performers -- the stage makeup can't take away their enthusiasm and performance. I just wish they were getting the full look they deserve 😢
(I wrote this whole rant and completely neglected to link my source: picture from Joanna Ampil's instagram )
nari loves animals with her whole heart, whenever she sees a stray animal on the streets she always makes sure to buy something for it to eat and find something warm for them to sleep. so, when she got approval and all the members were okay with it, she got her first animal as an adult. she loves them a lot and, whenever she has to go on tour and she can't take them with her, her siblings always fill her phone with pictures of her pets and try to keep her updated by sending videos and calling her just so she will be able to see them.
2019—now › odie, teacup poodle (male)
— odie was her first pet ever since she had her dog as a kid, he has been with her ever since home promotions.
— he is her little bodyguard whenever she goes out, like, boy will bark at anyone who comes near nari. (he once even bit a sasaeng bc they decided to test their luck.
— she got him as a gift from her older brother, so she decided to name him after one of his favorite movies (garfield).
— she takes him wherever she goes when she’s in korea. when seventeen first went to knowing bros he was there and he literally growled at heechul when he came too close to nari for his liking.
— he loves all of seventeen minus hoshi, he doesn’t hesistate to bark whenever he sees the dancer as a warning.
— nari loves to dress him up with stuff he feels comfortable, she even opened a instagram account for him and her cat.
— when she lived with mingyu and wonwoo, whenever they cooked they would make pet friendly foods made especially for odie.
— the members talk about him as if he’s their own dog, he’s literally seventeen’s protégée.
2022—now › oreo, stray cat (male)
— okay, so oreo’s adoption wasn’t planned… like literally
— he kind of just appeared at her window when he was just a little kitten and never left.
— nari felt bad and gave him food and water and ended up just letting him stay.
— odie loves him but oreo isn’t too fond of odie, oreo usually hisses but just gives up whenever odie tries to cuddle him.
— he’s a mischievous little kitty, he’s so energetic that it looks like he’s the puppy instead of odie.
— she never really wanted a cat but have always loved them (?)
— wonwoo was the one who actually suggested oreo’s name and nari decided to name him that due to his fur color and due to her liking the name a lot.
— he has a special room in the house with those cat mazes and all, he spends a lot of time playing there (odie also tries sometimes but he always ends up lost and crying for nari to find him)
— he LOVES cuddling with nari and gets really jealous whenever her boyfriend cuddles her, he hisses and ends up scaring him away.

Next up on my birthday lists extravaganza - food! Well, Youtube food channels, to be precise. (I am not steeped into YT culture, so idk if there's a proper terminology for this specific genre. 😅) One thing I love is food. Give me all the dishes!
Here are some YT channels and vids that I enjoyed in 2022 -
Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person
Claire!!!! I LOVE her. She's an amazing baker and seems to be a lovely person. I love her so much that I used some of her vids as inspiration for a drabble or two (or three 😄). After the implosion that was Bon Appetit, I'm glad to see some of my favs striking out on their own. And it's not all dessert recipes!

Delish / junelikethemonth
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon June and her Budget Eats vids, but I'm glad I did! She utilizes *every single* thing in the kitchen and creates totally random and out there dishes that you think won't work, but they totally do. I'm sad that she and Delish parted ways, but hopefully she finds a place that treats her well and realizes what a gem she is.
I Made 11 Dinners For Two People On A $20 Budget (In NYC!)

$150 HMart haul + everything I eat in 12 days (lol) + recipes (ish)!
NYT Cooking
Since the implosion of Bon Appetit, I was lost out in the open sea, trying to find an anchor. NYT Cooking came close in filling the hole, and for that I am grateful. Besides recipes, they also have a couple of series going -- Mystery Menu, On the Job, etc. The recipes seem easy to make and the way they talk about food --- YES. Some other things I love --- Sohla and Ham are GENIUSES in the kitchen, and I love Priya and her interview skills, her care and genuine human connections with her subjects. I also love their yearly Gingerbread Showdown. So much fun.

King Kogi
Martina!!!!! Her channel is mostly a vlog channel of her living in Japan. However, she does do food videos and shares recipes from time to time. She's a breath of fresh air and such a lovely person. And watching her and her enthusiasm, esp since she lives with EDS and chronic pain --- such an inspiration, I think.

Jun!!! This is his food channel and, man, can he cook! Professional level, right there. Also, cats. Sure, I'm there for Jun but his cats are such a huge factor in me re-watching his vids over and over again.
