BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

This country is making me sad and scared but that’s a good excuse to try to do some more good. I’m raising money with this sticker to help support Brave Space Alliance, a black and trans run organization. Community spaces are so important in uncertain times. 100% of profits donated!

Here's closeups of the stuff on the board in this! (1/4)

It's a wrinkled, dirty paper coupon of ICE-E'S P"E"ZZA. ICE-E is giving a thumbs up with a hand levitating mysteriously off his body. He has a chef's hat on. Despite there being clear cut lines, it appears to be clumsily torn out of whatever it came from...

1 Normal Pizza (12 "Toppings" and Supper Combo Mandatory)
2. Chessey Flavor (TM) Softs-Hards.
No Game Tokens (All You Can't Plaiy!)
SE .0003
$5. 131
Hurry! Valid Until 12/15!

A torn image from a game guide in the style of the Link's Awakening guide, depicting the white robed mage from the Sword Route in chapter 3 of Deltarune, standing at a crossroads. at the top, framing it in the style of the 'secrets' section is 'FUN & FUNCTION METER: (4 blue stars)'

It's the back of a weathered playing card, with the deltarune sigil at the top and bottom, and a soul overlaid an upside-down soul, in red and yellow cream.

A grimey picture of the spamton plush on a toilet, the door to the bathroom open, lighting the scene somewhat direly. The entire image is grimey... (it's an overlaid texture of car-wash foam).
