Pride Art, Day 3: Mis-Matched + Bisexual

Something about bisexuals never wearing matching socks???

Evil Queen Glimmer in my stories is used to juggle warlords and pirates. a proper queen in her own right, with her own kingdom, would be intimidating to her, but also someone she'd really want to be on the good side of. Glimmer might be a bit too suspicious/trigger happy with the backstabbing for the alliance to hold (pivoting straight to the 'enemy' stage of the relationship), but time would tell.
