We have done it.

We have reached 500,000 subscribers.

When I first decided to use the name Sha're Mander thought it would be super fun to have my channel name evolved with the number of subscribers.

So at half a 1,000,000 we would evolve into Sharm 1,000,000.

And if we ever reach the 1,000,000 we would finally evolve into Shara's hard.

We have reached the first milestone today, so I will be changing my channel name to Sharm 1,000,000.

It's super exciting one because char 1,000,000 is my favorite out of the charm under evolution.

So this is really cool.

And two, it's just kind of crazy to be changing my channel name up.

After all these years, I love any opportunity to be able to hire some artists to create art for me.

So at the beginning of this video, you saw the super cool animation that was created by okay, art on Twitter.

She is an amazingly talented animator.

So go check out her twitter and see some of the really cool animations she's created.

I will link her down below and if you head over to my channel page.

I also had a brand new channel banner created by Peach Tabby on Twitter.

Please do go check out her work.

I was just blown away by how good it waas.

I feel so lucky to have worked with both of these amazing artists to create some new cool art for my channel, which I'm really excited about using.

I will now have this intro at the beginning of all my videos so that Superfund huge thank you to every single one of you guys who has supported my channel over the years.
