Combining the two pieces of media i'm most into atm to hilariously contrasting results
I was just doing my thing and then realised how stark the contrast is between all the medias I enjoy; Playing returnal while watching my little pony and enjoyed both just the same. fucking funny Friendship is magic <3 but also the hell is eternal and of your own making
