If asked, Shimera will say she's Lominsan- they took her in at her lowest and it's home now.
For backstory's sake:
Her mom lived her whole life in the South Shroud & was 100% mooncat. Shim's dad was a wandering Ala Mhigan suncat. She was born & raised in the Shroud before running away.

i think assigning kpdh songs to my chronic-project ocs may have brought a spark of joy into my morning- esp assigning "How it's Done" & "Takedown" to men who would never listen to those songs

- Flying pancake acquired.
- 1.5 runs of new A-Raid complete.
- MSQ? Nope. Nada.
And I probably won’t be able to do anything of it until Monday & tbh I’m not sure I’m gonna have the motivation to do it. Idk. Losing the joy in your main hobby sucks.

As an em dash enthusiast, every time I see talk of how it has become “a sign of AI” I feel violent. This is the punctuation of my people (mood writers whose work falls within the ‘no plot just vibes’ genre)
