we’re making buttons in class next week and I’m so at a loss for what designs to make for mine 😭

I lowkey wanna make fanart buttons like for dgs or something but this is a small assignment so doing smth merch related feels a bit useless. but I’d still wear those even just for myself ngl

PLUS I could use those designs for my later self if I get my hands on a 2.25 button maker (the one I now have access to is only for 1 in 😔)

Thorin's company and what their rooms look like

Balin: Grandpa bedroom! Okay so the bed has to be raised so he has a stepping stool to get up. All the furniture is wood, and even the wall has wood paneling. I guarantee he either has a drawer filled with hard candy and Kleenexes or a wicker basket with way too many quilts and blankets.

Dwalin: I love Dwalin so much, but I imagine his room would be quite bare. It would have just a bed, a desk, and a few axes lying around—nothing more than the essentials.

Óin: Plant mom!!! He would have dozens of plants around his room. They would be on his desk, on the floor and even hanging from the ceiling.

Glóin: Moody room. I feel like he likes to keep his room all dark and soft so he can easily sleep better. Plus, I have a theory he is an older emo and keeps the vibe going.

Bifur: He doesn't really decorate, but he loves having a big window to look out of as soon as he wakes up.

Bofur: Bofur would have a boho vibe with pops of color. I can also imagine him having lyrics written on the wall.

Bombur: Kitchen bedroom! Bombur would love being able to whip up something scrumptious at any moment.

Ori: I imagine his room lined with bookshelves, with one corner filled with yarn.

Dori: Posh, clean, and it definitely needs to have some fur in it, lol!

Nori: His room would be filled with all the stuff he has stolen...

Thorin: I read that the dwarves' style was inspired by Art Deco, so I imagine Thorin would embrace that aesthetic. He'd likely favor a palette of blue / dark, moody colors, contrasted with gold accents.

Fíli and Kíli: OH hoho! This is less about aesthetics and more about them sharing a room, lol! I'll let you guess who is more like Mabel and who is more like Dipper lol

Bilbo: I think we see his bedroom in the movies, but regardless, I picture his room as very organic, shaped by the roots, so it’s not square but the walls "wave." Maybe he would even hang string lights from the roots poking through the ceiling.

Gandalf: His room would remind me more of a study. It would have a big chair and fireplace so he could stay up and read. It would be super warm and cozy.

I just know Spencer smells so scrumptious‼️

What do u think he would smell like or maybe (if does wear cologne) which one he would wear?

WARNING I GET WAY TOO INTO A HEADCANON AGAIN⚠️

oh let’s discuss bc people are always talking abt the smell of his cologne in fanfics but i don’t rlly see him wearing cologne. he gets migraines easily and often scents (artificial especially) can trigger that. also some people with asd dislike perfumey stuff because it can be sensorially overwhelming. then again im sure some also enjoy it bc of the olfactory stimulation, idk

BUT yeah in terms of spencer i don’t see him being someone who is conscious enough of how other people perceive him to intentionally wear cologne every day. especially younger spencer. i think he would smell nice but like… just clean. like bro isn’t dousing himself in dior sauvage or axe body spray every day, yk?

later seasons spencer tho seems to develop a bit more of a mature personal style and i can see him having a cologne that he uses every once in a while. but it would kinda permeate everything in his room and linger on his clothes so he wouldn’t need to wear it all the time for you to be able to smell it

i think for himself he’d pick something more gender neutral. im also envisioning him as someone who’s likelier to pick a scent that evokes a place or a feeling, like storm over a jasmine field, which is a demeter fragrance i think?

i can also DEFINITELY see him being into the mason margiela replica scents. like whispers in the library, by the fire, or my personal favorite, jazz club!! i own all of those but jazz club is so him.

i’ll attach a photo of the bottle under the cut and talk abt why it’s spencer reid coded bc im crazy and ive thought abt it a lot

first of all it’s classy af looking and smelling and also very like simple and elegant so i think the aesthetic of the bottle would appeal to him lol like the twine around the top?? the color? would fit so well in his apartment

also ik you must be thinking why would he want to smell like liquor and cigars but it doesn’t RLLY smell like that, it’s kind of like this really rich warm ambery sweet smoky musky situation. it’s got some pepper notes too. it’s just so fucking good and it really does give the vibes of being in like an old jazz club made of dark oak and brick and people are smoking and drinking and being lit but it doesn’t rlly make you smell like booze. it’s giving that one scene where he goes to meet ethan in new orleans. it’s also not overwhelming but it does make a bit of a statement, it’s a unique scent. idk EYE think it’s sexy, i wear it when i go out w friends if i wanna be sexy and mysterious, it IS a VERY sexy and mysterious scent imo

anyway i got WAY too into this i’m sorry😭 i feel like jeremy fragrance

but i highly recommend it

and also i LOVE a unisex scent and am very passionate abt the fact that i think spencer would lean toward that as opposed to like versace eros or some other hyper macho bull jizz cologne. i think he’s so hot for that (something i decided he does just now😁)

A dear Pain in the ass sister

(so uh.. I like blackguard.. that's all)

Enjoy

To say Weiss' family was inherently fucked up... Would be a understatement. Constantly at each others throats and either arguing or in the case of their mother, drowning in wine to wash away the pain.

So you can imagine weiss' horror when she received news her twin sister was on a bullhead to beacon to... Catch up apparently.

Weiss, was not all to pleased to receive this info, infact she was quite the opposite. She was INFURIATED to beyond belief.

She was pacing in her teams dorm as she was basically wanting to rip out her own hair at this point because of the rising fury she held in her as one ruby rose looked at her confused as she was gaming.

Ruby: Weiss I fail to see how "evil" sister is going to ruin you.

Weiss: because you dolt, my sister is everything wrong with the world! She's loud, obnoxious, her mouth has spewed so much vulgarity that it would make my father look like a saint. She is TERRIBLE-

Suddenly a knock on the door was heard as Weiss grumbled before going up to the door only to scowl as she saw one jaune arc.

Weiss: arc. What stupid plan do you have to court me now.

Jaune: wait.. how are you- i just- hold on im confused i just saw you at the gate also.. when did you have time to change and wash your hair?

Weiss looked at him before going pale as she immediately grabbing him by his collar.

Weiss: arc I will give as much lien as you want just please tell me you were hallucinating!

Jaune: hold on I'm still confused-

Weiss: ARC, please just say you were hallucinating. Please don't tell me you saw-

???: AH THERE YOU ARE DEAR BITCH OF A SISTER!

Weiss felt her heart plummet into her stomach as she looked to her right and saw her. This woman was a near replica of Weiss down to her cheekbones. Everything except her black hair, her biker attire and her vivid magenta eyes.

Belamere "bleiss" noir givrése. Weiss Schnee's twin sister and the only daughter to bear their father's last name.

Weiss: bleiss.. good to see you too.. dear.. sister

Bleiss walked up to her sister as she bear hugged her which seemed to catch off surprise.

Bleiss: how long has it been since we seen each other? Days, months. I lost count after the man-whore decided to send me to vacuo.

Bleiss let go as Weiss looked at her as she was beaming with a smile on her face as Ruby appeared next to Weiss.

Ruby: i don't see how she's bad.. nor the fact she's apparently your evil twin.

Bleiss looked at Ruby curiously as she leaned in REAL close to observe every aspect.

Bleiss: hmm I wanna say your going for a goth aesthetic but the red pops out which I wanna say is intended but-

Ruby: well hello to you too I guess-

Bleiss: oh right shit apologies.

Bleiss stepped back and stuck out her hand as Ruby looked at her curiously.

Bleiss: i am belamere givrése but my enemies call me bleiss

Jaune: oh that's interesting.. what do your friends call you.

It went dead quiet as bleiss turned around and looked at jaune.

Bleiss: ok.. who the hell are you?

Jaune: im-

Weiss: -less of a pain than you that's who he is!

The twins glared at each other as bleiss narrowed her eyes at her "proper" reflection.

Bleiss: interrupting someone is rather rude dear sister, especially when their introducing themselves. I thought you knew this since father was so focused on making you his doll.

Weiss said nothing but her hand hovered over myrtenaster as she glared daggers at her counterpart.

Weiss: you... take.. that. Back.

Bleiss: oh struck a nerve did I dear sister?~ you always were easier to enrage than winter and bitchley.

Weiss growled at her as she took out myrtenaster as she thrusted her weapon towards her twin as bleiss caught it with her twin axes, Berta and Marta.

Bleiss: hmm seems your fuse is getting shorter by the day-

Suddenly Weiss and bleiss found themselves picked up as Ruby was hold up Weiss with jaune holding bleiss.

Jaune: l-lets calm down everyone!

Bleiss: hey- let me go jackass, no one is allowed to touch me!

Jaune: really sorry but I don't feel like watching a bloodbath, especially when this is the first time Weiss has gotten like THAT!

We see Weiss was basically foaming at the mouth as Ruby carried her into the dorm as bleiss felt jaune let go as she landed before pointing berta at his throat as jaune raised his hands.

Bleiss: ok. One. NO ONE. Gets involved in matters with my family, two. next time you touch me I am chopping off your hands and then you probably tiny DICK.

Jaune and bleiss stared at each other as jaune put his hands on berta as he spoke calmly and softly.

Jaune: look I think I get your frustration, but Weiss is my friend, you two may be family but family don't act like that. So pardon me for making sure my friend is ok.

Bleiss looked at him as something clicked in her head.

Bleiss: your an arc aren't you?

Jaune nodded.

Jaune: what's it to you?

Bleiss: nothing just... Makes sense an arc of all people would act like they know about family.

Bleiss put away her axes as she walked passed him.

Bleiss: I'll be around the campus to check in on my sister. Don't get in my way again, jaune.

Jaune looked at her slightly confused on why she knows his name but he shrugged it off as we end our story here....

For now.

Listen i love the Greek aesthetic that Camp Half-Blood keeps up, it's fantastic, but i'm just saying that in the all the centuries that the camp has been in America, there hasn't been a mentioned demigod who used a gun????

In America???

Like????

Did Chiron pull an Obi-Wan and be like "It's uncivilized" or something like WHY AREN'T CELESTIAL BRONZE GUNS MORE COMMON?? Like In that entire camp of neurodivergent teenagers and not a single one was like "Oh hey this'll be effective against monsters."

And yes there is evidence that they have been made, i'm well aware of that, but im just saying think of the possibilities that celestial bronze can have!

Celestial bronze gun (with magic bullets that reappear in the clip to be reused. Bam! Now they aren't gonna go to waste and have to go find them again or whatever)

Like if a camper gets caught by a monster it'd be just like this whole situation:

Do you think an empousa or cyclops is going to survive a headshot? No, I dont think so. The only downside i can see to this is that the Mist wouldn't cover it up so well and that might be a potential problem.

Celestial Bronze Shoe Spikes/Soles/Studs (What monster is going to expect shoes to have CB in it?? And then boom they're dust. If it's a low-level monster a good kick is all you'll need)

Celestial Bronze Rope Dart

(Seriously this would be badass. Also super fun)

Celestial Bronze Axe-Gun

(Need i say more???)

Or what about other concepts too?? Wouldn't some of the Hephaestus cabin be curious to see if they could recreate weapons and ideas from movies and shows?? Like Captain America's shield or Black Panthers retractable claws?? What about Mithril armor or HELL WHAT ABOUT SOME COOL ASS BRONZE PROSTHETICS???

Damn i'd love to see that

So all im saying, is that i think there are a lot of untouched opportunities for this. Yes, i absolutely love the Greek aesthetic and the weaponry and how it's a part of their heritage and life, but in the entire camp of neurodivergents that has an entire cabin dedicated to the children of the god of craftmanship and smithery?? And they still stick with swords, daggers, spears, etc??

Mm mm, i wanna see more.

Feel free to add onto this as well!! Would love to hear other ideas too!!

"LORAX: THE MUSICAL": Once-ler guide

Decided to make a quick comparison chart for those who are still confused about multiple versions of the same stageplay, it's actually very easy to tell them apart, because only two of them have very noticeable visual differences. Hope this will be useful. As for now, there's three versions of the same musical: 2015-2017 (The OG, starring Simon Paisley Day), 2018-2019 (Starring Steven Epp) and 2021 (aka Covid version, aka electric boogaloo, starring Jamael Westman). Let's take a look on their pre-fame eras:

2015-17: - dark green hat - fluffy long hair

2018-19: - bright green hat - shorter, less fluffy hair (also seem to be a slightly different tone of green?) - bright green pants

2021: - no hat - short curly hair - cozy, "casual" outfit style

Not that complicated, right? Now that we got aquainted with the main trio, i'm gonna talk more about the 2015-17 and 2021 versions, because 2015-17 and 2018-19 are absolutely the same in their axe-hacker and fame era clothing, except the tiny details i already mentioned above. So..

2015-17

Most of the photos and videos that i post (or the ones you could possibly find on the internet) are featuring him. He was the first one, after all. Also, the OG blorbo had dark pants at some point, which was for test and promotional purposes, i guess. His "default" pre-fame look includes dark emerald tailcoat (the same one which is used for 2018-19 version), bright green neckerchief, brown striped suspenders, some kind of a vintage fedora and long striped fingerless gloves.

During his character development he switches to round glasses and striped jacket (in the end of the first act and in the axe-hacker scene), and then into a full green pinstripe suit with a tie and vest underneath. Also, in his "fame era" he switches to a different, more "formal" hairstyle.

Now that everything is clear with the OG one, let's switch to 2021 version.

2021

Oh boy, things are very different here. I still can't figure out the weird casual/formal outfit mix he has on during his early business days (he switches to a green jacket and differnet pants, but keeps his hoodie underneath for some reason), but unlike 2015-17 version, he seems to change into that kind of outfit after his family arrives to the valley, while OG Once-ler only switches his tailcoat to jacket during the lorax park and axe-hacker scenes. Later on, during his top fame era, he can be spotted in full-formal style, wearing dark blue (or black?) jacket with green stripes, green gloves (probably the same ones that 2015-2019 versions have on during their fame phase), bright green shirt and a striped green tie. He gets a different pair of shoes and aviator glasses (for the thneed 2.0 scene) as well. It seems like with the 2021 version, designers decided to give him something more "modern-looking" in all eras. Well, good for him. Good for him.

Despite all the differences, they still have some things in common, which are: fingerless gloves, watch and pocket square on the left side (present in all versions), striped socks and green hair..Obviously, the overall "green" aesthetic as well.

Thanks for reading//

hi ✨ i know that usually you’re the one that gets the prompts and writes on them but can i just give my two cents on the recent events regarding noah’s behavior on tour because there’s literally no one i can discuss this with, so naturally i need to share and i feel like this here is a safe and fun space to do that.

i know how everyone has this image of what noah’s like in a relationship or in bed or whatever and that’s okay, we can all imagine and that’s what i’m here do to today, but you CANNOT tell me this man is not fucked, foul and twisted because

1. breathing into the mic AUDIBLY right after the “the way you fuck, the way you taste” lyric is nothing close to innocent and i am pretty sure he knows what he’s doing

2. spitting in the air after “so i can look you in the eye when i spit in your face” NUMEROUS times. i’m just gonna say that he knows. spitting is spicy and he knows.

3. that devilish grin he gave right before the growl in dethrone in Austin. uhm. yeah, sadistic, sick and twisted.

also this man feeds off of dark shit. he has said it himself a couple of times. when it comes down to anime, he loves watching the really dark stuff. we know he works on the aesthetics of the band a lot and the primary colors are black, red and grey. the visuals are dark. carrying an axe around a dark hallway? wearing a ski mask for fun? and all black outfits all the time? man loves horror movies as well. im positive he’d be down to chase you down an alley wearing a mask and carrying a knife, ghostface style.

also keeping his composure and having a really cool aura and being quiet while also sounding firm and diplomatic. SCREAMS dom. but like a pleasure dom cause we know he’s the clitmaster3000.

oh yeah, i’m not even gonna mention the fact that he lowered his voice when he said “good. GOOD JOB” when he asked the crowd to make a line for the mosh pit. mans got a praise and degradation kink and no one can tell me otherwise. he loves control and he loves exercising it in all ways possible.

okay, thanks. sorry if that was too much but i can’t stop thinking about it and it makes SO MUCH sense in my head and i need to know if somebody else is gonna agree with me. bye 🦦

I am gonna make you 🦦anon

MAAM OR SIR I AGREE THANK YOU FOR YOUR 2 CENTS YOUR DONATION IS APPRECIATED

But honestly this is what I’m saying HE KNOWS! MAN KNOWS WHAT HES DOING! Because I’ve had some people here say that they know about the fan fic, so he BEEN KNOW what makes us tic! I mean look at the video of him leaning over the crowd (not knowing exactly what he was doing) BUT HE KNOWS THE EFFECT! H knows what we’re into and what makes us go wild! IM TELLING YOU. But I’m telling you it’s kinda scary how DOMINANT he can be but also like super super super calm and collected about it. He gets his fill of power from it but super controlled about it as well and THAT makes it a bit scary but also 🌝

Clitmaster 3000 IM DEAD I LOVE IT! Also you and I must be the same person because I was about to write a small thought on him being a pleasure Dom! HE SCREAMS IT! And I have said before he keeps the mask on during sex 🤠 GIRL WE SHARING THE SAME BRAIN CELL RN CUZ I CAN SEE ALL OF THIS. Hopefully my writing can improve so I can write something that rlly expressed this out if the opportunity comes up.

Winners!!

It's quite scuffed but it took me awhile so I wanted to share it here!

keep reading for alts and explanations of the choices I made!

OK so first, Martyn's role was never an after thought, I always planned him to be "observing" the main picture because he isn't really in any duos, at least none that have made it to the end, also he's the only one in his lore who is being harassed by the Watchers!

Border: the poppies and lilacs are for grian and scar, they were actually the first characters I had in mind when I was first planning out this piece in my head! The snow is because of pearl freezing herself in double life, the crystal's because that just to seem most of people's thing for last life/winner scott.

Pearl: I was going to make her part dog and scott part cat, but cat didn't really fit him and I really liked the moth pearl designs I had seen so I made her a moth. I had decided I wanted to show the astronomical signs for the winners, and so I chose what is supposed to be a weird axe, mainly because I really liked people's moon scythes for her, however I wanted to incorporate her most infamous weapon.

Scott: The main "big" decision for him was to make his sign, the stars, an arrow mainly because I wanted him and pearl to parallel, and because of what might be his most infamous weapon.

Grian: I wanted him and scar to parallel so I decided that they would have poppies and lilac, just in different places. I made him birb because. I got the idea for his shawl mainly because of @cherrifire's thumbnail for the third life compilation and then I thought it would be a great place to put not only a sun reference, but a watcher reference.

Scar: I'm not sure how obvious but I gave him real tears while scott and pearl have fake ones, this is because pearl and scott are supposed to be more stain glass window esq and their tragedy for when they won was, quite obviously, a past season and scar's is from this very season. The reason he is even crying to begin with is because he finally is reunited with grian in the "winner's club". Grian isn't crying mainly because I'd say his character has "moved on" and is putting those days behind him so he can focus more on helping out the life members. decided to give his shawl my favorite of his signs proposed, the earth. Tbh I don't think there is a particular reason except for the fact that a few animatics convinced me and I like the aesthetic of it.

Martyn: while his role and pose in general wasn't an after thought, his sign was. I had gotten to his flat colors and was like "oh. shit.", as to my horror I realized I had forgotten to add any signs of, his sign so I just decided to throw it onto the back, had I not forgotten, it probably would have been an earing. Also I chose mars because that's the only one I've really heard for him, and because of the roman god war.

If anyone has read all this thank you so much 😭😭 overall I'm oddly conflicted with this piece because it was quite a lot for what I usually do and I think a good bit I did really well, at least for me, however I also think I rushed a few bits to much, especially martyn :/ oh well!

[fairytaleinagem]

currently dying of "creativity under my skin but no motivation in my soul" disease, anyways here's a short story and a new divider! testing smth out for my post aesthetics

TW: SMOKING (though not very detailed)

Despite the looming deadline of another report of Zenith's progress (both in skill and memory recovery), Andrei couldn't help but stop at the sound of laughter, raucous and echoing from one of the various rooms within the Training District. His brows furrowed. For once, he wanted to join in. To smoothly enter whatever conversation was happening and to laugh with others. Make them laugh, maybe. God, wouldn't that be a shift in energy? Something that many of the others say he lacks.

And that urge is probably why he found himself walking into a room, peeking around the corner to see those who were scheduled to tutor Zenith today; Aeva, Akina, and Marcelo. It was more likely that they volunteered—they were always around the kid, flocking around them like moths to a lamp. That, and their evident skill of melee and physical attacks. Zenith had yet to fully take down Marcelo, but they have proven themself to be a quick learner, lasting longer and longer each fight that was initiated. They might even be able to move up to Aeva's level soon.

"Researcher Andrei. Were we too loud again?" a flat voice snapped him out of his slight daze, and he found himself wondering when he had walked right up to the four, standing behind them with his arms crossed. Zenith stared at him, dark green eyes staring into his own green ones.

"Oh, Andrei! Didn't notice you were around the District! What's up, man?" Marcelo greeted, a toothy grin spreading across his face as he wrapped a slightly sweaty arm around his shoulders. He grimaced at the feeling of fabric being dampened by it, but he shook it off like he shrugged off Marcelo's arm.

"I was on my way to send in a report, but you seem particularly joyous today. Any reason for that?" he asks, raising an eyebrow, looking at Akina for an answer.

"Hah! We're just teaching Zen to axe throw! And suffice to say, they're doing a great job at it!" she exclaims, a sunny grin on her face. It matches Marcelo's, and soon Aeva's face begins to shine with a similarly bright smile.

"Hell yeah they are. Pretty sick at aiming, I'd say. Almost better than I am," Aeva said, punching Zenith's arm with a wink. A short, nervous chuckle leaves them, and Andrei could almost feel the sharp pain that definitely goes through their arm.

"Hm. Mind if you show me?"

A possible update to the report that was due soon—he was glad that he tends to write notes as he goes, he couldn't imagine the stress that would be coursing through his veins if he didn't.

Zenith nods, hefting an axe nearby with two hands, before walking a bit away from the group. They stand a few feet away from the target board, and a dense aura of immediate focus and calculation rippled throughout the air, entering Andrei's head. A familiar feeling.

"The use of a Special Skill?" he muttered, brows furrowing as he noted it down in the holographic report. This new development could help lead towards finding an identity match for Zenith—something the Conglomerate has been waiting on for weeks. Impatient bastards. It was also an update on their progress. Signs of a Special Skill could help progress them even further than they were originally! The four watched as the axe was thrown, landing directly in the middle.

Bullseye.

Aeva, Akina, and Marcelo cheered, rushing over to jostle the poor kid around. They cheered and laughed, much like they did earlier when he was merely passing by.

Despite his stable position as a researcher and Epitome within the Company, Andrei couldn't help but feel…hurt. Something inside him ached. His arms twitched as he barely suppressed the urge to jump on the four in a giant hug, no matter if three of them were much taller than he was. With clenched fists, he begins to back away. Back out of the room. Out of the identical white hallways that were beginning to become blurry, and out of the nearly never ending Training District entirely. By the time he stepped foot inside the Residential District, the ache had grown into something terrible. His lungs stuttered as he Flicked into his room, and he could barely feel the fabric of the bed that he fell into. There was no telling how long he laid there, eyes wide with an emotion that was entirely new to him. No. He knew what it was. What was it doing within him? Poisoning his mind, so quickly and quietly?

A dizzying sit-up later, he yanked the bedside drawer open, fingers fumbling as he nearly dropped the box of Vigorettes and lighter. He pulled a Vigorette out and lit it, inhaling the smoke as quickly as he could.  He nearly choked on it. The uncharacteristic panic smoothed out into a careless daze the longer he smoked.

Maybe this is why the others said he had no energy. It was all put into throwing away any feeling anything other than peace.

Only the faint purple light of the Vigorette flame and dark blue of the report lit up his room. He sent both away with a wave of a hand, before landing back into the soft pillows of his bed.

ship meme: nature wives!

oh yeah i’m sooooo normal about them *kicks my feet in the air like an excited schoolgirl*

but yeah, i love them.

1. What made you ship them?

Frankly, I blame the fan artists and fic writers. It was one of the more thriving ships when I joined the fandom and I just love their dynamic. A disaster witch who just wants to impress the cute princess who also has a giant axe. I love them. I don’t know much about them in season one of empires but they’re cute from what i’ve seen!

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

ok, first off, WLW. i will acknowledge that the fandoms i’ve been in just didn’t have many girl characters but the rep makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, specially with the ace rep from shubble and her characters.

ANOTHER REASON! they’re so sweet and care for each other so much… they’re hopelessly pining idiots and everyone wants them to kiss already but they’re oblivious to the other’s feelings,,, but they’re always by each others side no matter the pain they go through,,, plus the aesthetic,,, they’re just so cute. Plus the hurt/comfort potential,,, it’s so good,,,

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

not really in all honesty. i agree with most of the takes i’ve seen, i think. I do think they should get to go a bit evil together. A bit insane. As a treat.
