See a comment that needs to be here? Let me know! You can tag me [at] queergirl.
Out of the three musical comments I made, that is not the one I would have suspected would have won me an award….But cheers!
High five!
Haha thank you for acknowledging my fanottergirling for She-Ra and To L and Back! These are the things that are keeping my spirits up during the quarantinetimes. Also, puns. Long live puns!
I want to see your princess! Here’s mine:
Wow, she’s great! Very scrappy, in an “I’ll save the universe before breakfast” kind of way. I have never successfully embedded an image, so who knows if this will work, but stay tuned…
This is my first and most Baroque princess, whose hair length is like mine in quarantine:
argh ok once more with trepidation:
Aw bummer. Thanks for trying anyway
Darnit, ottergirl! I tried to fix this but for some reason I wasn’t able to.
I think the trouble is that I downloaded the picture, so it’s not easy to link to…oh well, one of these days! Thanks for the help, though!
QG, I will DM you on IG if you still want to see her
If you upload it to somewhere like postimages.org and then copy the “direct link” into the img html tag that should work :)
last attempt…
Thank you so much, Chandra! It finally worked.
Wooo! And your princess looks both regal and badass, I wouldn’t want to mess with her
I love the “When life gives you ___” awards. Nicely done, QG!
thanks cleo! :-*
Oh my goodness! I was not expecting this honour! Thank you so much. I’d like to take this opportunity to agree with you QG, Natalie Morales is a perfect than being, there are no other realities.
