I drew my babies inspired by Kotteri who Illustrates the "Veil" manga. The 1950 aesthetic is just so nice!!!

im so sorry i don’t want to send the swifties out for my arrest but it genuinely boils my blood and fills me w rage when people say taylor swift is “obviously” a lesbian or even gay because even if she is bisexual or whatever what has she ever done for the community besides releasing a cringe vague ass song w brendon urinal??? also i feel like if she’s so “obviously” a lesbian and has been “hinting” this for years she wouldn’t be simultaneously in public relationships with men lol. also like she’s a millionaire capitalist white woman and even if she was secretly gay she’s not doing anything for the community by never speaking out about it. also she’s so painfully straight looking guys there’s way better actual real sapphic representation in music from people who are out and proudly speaking on queer issues
