It may be periwinkle, but it's metal af. I've got another pet peeve regarding masks, I struggle to understand a fashion trend, birds make me feel uncomfortable, and Shrek invades the Marvel movies.

Google thinks I'm a lesbian (or wishes I was?), a representative from the cult who Let's Clyde Decide visits the shop with VERY DISTINCT INSTRUCTIONS for their order, and I may have murdered a person in this week's episode.
