Day two of my Halloween outfits today: The sweater is from Foxblood, and the pants are from Killstar!

Kat Karlov @katkarlov.bsky.social · 6d

Today's the first day of my Halloween-themed outfits:
- Venom Mesh crop and Terra Check Button Up Midaxi dress from Disturbia
- Carving Party Oversized Sweater from Foxblood

All of these pieces were from last year, so if you like them, track them down second-hand.

This guy died lying out, just like I sleep. Do you need a body pillow, my guy? It helps a lot with the low back pinch! #Helldivers2 #vtuber #gamingmemes #pcgaming #cozychaos

Two match-3 games, two very different vibes:
🦖 Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 → campy horror chaos with dinos
✨ Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To → stylish, queer, magical, and vibey

Astarion and I aren’t just adventuring partners… we’re basically starring in a fantasy romcom. Technically, we’re allies, but the vibes? “I hate you” → crit-filled love story. 💜 #BG3 #Astarion #vtuber

Yikes. I’m not OK with this. But my Baldur’s Gate 3 character? Oh, she’s ready to stab a traitor before breakfast and ask zero questions. Welcome to the ✨roleplay dissonance spiral✨ #baldursgate3 #bg3 #baldursgate #vtuber #vtubers #virtualyoutuber #virtualyoutubers #envtuber

My partner saw me playing Instants and said, “Isn’t this… a little too meta for you?”
Okay, yes, I used to be a professional scrapbooker—but that makes me more qualified to scrapbook my fake family’s feelings, okay?? Also: there’s a CAT who gives you your photos. Its eyes follow your cursor.
