It is better in here when we're all talking about a good person rather than a wicked one. Maybe we can learn how to do that more.

Reminder that Scotland has been doing the whole "weird man made of tree parts thing" long before Wicker came along. Probably not a good idea to try the vigorous sexy time with this lad though, those burrs are jaggy.

Doing the very neurodivergent thing of screenshotting photos of someone I haven't seen for a few years, so that I’ll remember what she looks like if I see her at an arty thing this week
