A character I made for a hypothetical DnD campaign. She's a halfling barbarian named Gam Gam. She bonks people with her cane and her purse has a brick in it

She carries a tan purse, and a cane made from a tree branch. She has a couple tattoos visible, including a small 4-leafed clover behind her right ear, and a snake on her right collarbone.

It's Star/Parody's birthday!
Across every iteration of the character, I always imagined them utilizing their shapeshifting to fly. I only recently finalized a design for them, and so I thought they needed some new wings too :)

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost.
They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong.

Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.
