💐It looks like the middle of the road, price-wise, would be best💐
Your suggestions for different types of merch were all very interesting - these were only the top few!

We'll take these into consideration when choosing items!

✨🌸Interest Check Results!🌸✨

We're so happy to see 102 responses!

Everyone's so excited & thanks to the interest everyone showed: we will try to make this a physical project (depending on UK-US tariffs) with a Digital NSFW add-on.

🦌A wild deer spotted!🦌

We're rolling out the red carpet for our guests! Starting with our deerest guest artist @arlowa.bsky.social!

🌼We can't wait to see what they have planned!🌼

A red ribbon surrounds a floral border. Text reads 'Arlowa. The Arlowa, an extraordinary species, has an astonishing sense of lighting and colour use, and is sought out world wide for it!' Classification: Guest Artist Order:She/her.
Arlowa's socials are above a hand-drawn image of a rare Middlemist Red Camellia.
To the right is Arlowa's spotlight sample; Tamaki (Suneater) is a classical greek style, draped in sheer wine coloured fabric, leaving his chest naked. He is surrounded by a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables and is about to eat some red grapes from the bunch.
