  1. Random opinion: I don't like foiled cards (MTG specific, but in general). It's not the curling issue, I dislike the shimmer. Its a turn off, uneven. The only foils I liked were the stained glass full-art DMU lands, those looked gorgeous.

    Sometimes I'd sell foils, buy regular, keep a little cash.

  2. #Queerprompts 2 - Tiny Details: Outfits

    The first 2 snippets has Viola, governess to Ashelyn Roseland, having served a dinner party wearing a suspiciously designed servant's outfit. The third has a similar allusion to something, with Eria's fetish & knowing Ruby's 'NATO surname' was Aarre ("Ahre").

  5. apartment has several movie posters: Robocop, The Matrix, Perfect Blue, The Stepford Wives, and Ghost in the Shell. All of these are about either outright mechanization of a person, or skewing/ stealing one's identity. Which is what she does, taking people and turning them into cybernetic slaves.
