13. Family Guy
Can we just agree on the fact that Shawn loves and appreciates his background so much he got a tattoo that outlines the CN tower and the woods?

12. His Love For The Fans
The fans are always there to support him no matter what and Shawn also tries his best to show gratitude. For example, not many people do this for the fans but Shawn makes sure he tweets his ‘good mornings’ and ‘goodnights’ and casually replies back to the fans daily. Some people may not think of that as a huge deal but by being noticed by the ones you love is special and just something you can never unexperience.
