Love to get hit by torrential downpour on the way into work 🙃 blessings, however, to the person who’d abandoned a working umbrella on the street to rust so I could pick it up halfway through the deluge lmao

Also at the exhibition gift shop they had this amaaaaazing perpetual calendar that I knew I had to get—I cannot resist a piece of merch that ties in so so well with its source material!
Photo of an acrylic standee perpetual calendar. It’s modeled after the day changing screen from Metaphor re fantazio with the sleeping prince and the month and day displayed on the right side.

So I initially asked for possum + text, but when I came in for my appointment yesterday the artist showed me two versions: regular and Party Possum, saying that she suspected I’d like some extra color. Obviously she was right
Photo of my leg with a tattoo of a possum in a party hat with confetti around it. Text reads “when I get done”
