Saw these cute chibi/fan arts while searching for some cute stuffs! Kwiyeoweo~

And decided to post this since these are the common words we hear in Korean dramas. Hihi!

Andwae -  Korean word meaning "no way,” usually used in moments of disbelief, shock, fear, or defiance.

image

Annyeong -  The word annyeong is used in Korean meaning hello, bye, hi.

image

Chukhahaeyo - This means “Congratulations!.

image

Daebak -  It means jackpot, big success, originally. But now people also use it when they are surprised/shocked as exclamation. It can’t be also used in sarcastic way.

image

Eonnie -  It means a woman’s ‘older sister’; a man’s older sister is noona. Eonnie is also used by women to mean an older 'female cousin’ or 'female friend’.

Eotteoke - Translated to “How” , “What should I do?”, “What can I do?”

Heol -  This Korean slang term doesn’t necessarily have a meaning. It’s mostly used to express a mild shock or surprise and at times disappointment.

who drew this and why are they not credited properly?

I did!

My source is still there but someone erased my original description ‘cause apparently people don’t like told “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” all year round (those people just don’t know that Halloween IS all year around and that the spooky never stops)

Anyways….

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!

What’s your NaNoWriMo Horoscope?

What does your astrological sign say about your writing? What will help and what will hinder you on your journey to finish a draft of a novel? We’ve put together a fun chart to predict how your November will go, complete with writing prompts!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Bold and determined, you dive right into every ambitious challenge—including NaNoWriMo. Sometimes you plan, but you prefer to charge forward into the month armed with nothing more than your pen. You may be tempted to throw the occasional writing-related temper tantrum, but remember: the first draft is supposed to be a mess. Just breathe deep and channel that fearless Aries within. You got this.

Prompt: Something explodes (literally or metaphorically) in your next scene.
