My darling prince, Berlioz, went over the rainbow bridge today at 11 years old. We're currently taking everything in stride at this time, but know it may take a moment to fully process he won't be physically around anymore.
Rest in power, my Ber. You will be deeply missed.

I'll leave my personal feelings out for now; this question is asked in earnest with no "wrong answer"

Because it's a hot topic right now, I'm curious on all perspectives for the following prompt...

From an artist's side and/or audience's side, how important is authenticity in voice casting to you, personally? Is there a line when it comes to this? Does intent matter? Does context or story matter?

I'm of the mindset that if Christmas can start the day after Thanksgiving... Halloween can start the day after Labor Day

Seems only fair to me 🎃👻🦇

I haven't done a song cover in close to a decade. Feels about time...

Elio was an absolute joy of a movie. The epitome of a "family film" Hubs & I loved it, and Amé was engaged the whole time. Fantastic writing; hope to see more from the entire team involved! 🚀✨️

Please go see this in theaters if you can 🙏🏽

I love that, after the #KPDH success, the new lexicon for going to any Kpop concert will consistently be referred to as "reinforcing the Hanmoon" 😆

Language is fun!

Every time my son hears Golden, he likes to comment, "Wow Mommy! That's a good song!"

Toddler (and Mama) approved! #startemyoung #KPDH

Weeee I’m back in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond as Lilanthim, one of the new cards that drops next week!

Thank you Marc Graue studios, @soughtaftercast.bsky.social, and Cygames for having me!

Lilanthim is an unhinged cyberpunk gremlin (three of my favorite things) and I hope y’all enjoy her!

Lilanthim’s default card art. She’s a smiling, mischievous looking girl with a pink cyberpunk aesthetic, pink and blue hair with twin horn buns, and glowing eyes who is riding a broom. The art has a dark background with neon pink hearts and a neon pink sharp-toothed mouth shape.

Lilanthim’s evolved card art. She’s a mischievous looking girl with a pink cyberpunk aesthetic, pink and blue hair with twin horn buns, and glowing eyes who is riding a broom. She is holding one hand palm-side forward in front of her mouth, and there is a glowing, sharp-toothed mouth shape on her palm, making it look like she has a creepy glowing smile. The art has a dark background with neon pink hearts, a neon pink sharp-toothed mouth shape, and jagged neon blue lines.
