The DD Fashion Spotlight!

Anesthesia and Wicked Woman are both characters from the webcomic Generation bad. They're not the main protagonists but I picked them because I think they look cool! Anesthesia is the heroic type, dressed in a really cool style. I love that ...

To be honest, I didn't really want to talk about The Book of Boba Fett or Star Wars again in this post.
