can you put vibrio vulnificus in a pirate/tricorn hat please? and/or rabies lyssavirus in a “women love me fish fear me” (or variations) hat? tysm your blog is making me so happy

I know I've done Rabies lyssavirus before (though it wouldn't be the first duplicate, there's another I accidentally did one time...). I've also done a "women want me, the minds of fish are unknowable" hat before. I've also done a tricorn before but honestly there's only so many hats that exist lmao. Vibrio vulnificus shall be added to the list!

Also tysm y'all's support means everything, even if I'm horribly inconsistent at posting lmao.
