If you can keep passing the hat I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Of course tumblr decided that the other post 'might need a mature label' because nothing screams mature more than a dragon. Of course.

Isn’t it kind of insulting to the people who fight for an actual democracy, to the places in the world without free and fair elections, to the people (particularly black, native, and disabled people) who are regularly purposefully excluded from voting, to just say it doesn’t matter? How the fuck do you view your own inaction as some type of moral high ground?

Well I was gonna dump a bunch of pics of Mewsette’s various dresses here but atm this is the only one I can find (annoying, since I literally saw all of them yesterday). This one is my favorite, tho, so at least there’s that!

Ok I thought she had one more dress but probably I am thinking of the Kelly dress that I put her in when I first got her, which I actually posted back then in April 2023. These pics are also from 2023.

A few quick shots of the opalite cabochons I got from etsy to use as doll eyes, worn by my Bobobie Weylin, Link. (decided to keep that wig, btw) Gettin’ all Fierce Deity up in here!
