Mira snatched Bobby's phone out of his hands, fuming at the edited pictures she saw. "What's this? Pink Poly Club? No way am I being lumped in with those boys!" She handed the phone back.
Zoey was internally squealing.
"Me and Mystery? Like—" She caught the scary look on Mira's face and quickly backtracked. "I mean, ew, why? He's so NOT my type."
With an exasperated sigh, Mira ran a finger through her hair.
"Should I just dye my hair a different color? Ugh, like hell I would. Why’d they have to have the same color as me?"
"You look better anyway!" Zoey encouraged, flailing her arms. "Don't let them get to you. I’m not letting Mystery get to me, too... although, he is kind of my type—I mean, who said that!"
Bobby tried to get a word in, but the girls were too busy complaining. He didn’t even know where Rumi had gone—she’d just suddenly left. It wasn’t rare for the girls to get chaotic, but that didn’t make it any easier.
"But isn’t this great? It’s what the fans want. Maybe it’d be a good idea to have another one tomorrow..." he trailed off, thinking it might not be such a bad idea.
Oh well. Why not?
And so, here they were: another Huntrix x Saja Boys fansign event, with the same seating arrangement as yesterday. The fans were coming in hot—it even looked like there were more of them this time. Some wore miromabby shirts and held up edited ship posters.
"Hey, it’s nice seeing you again." Romance wrapped his arms behind Mira’s chair, leaning slightly at her side. From the corner of her eye, she could see some fans going wild. She ignored him and looked the other way—only to find Abby already staring. He grinned in that boyish charm of his, also leaning in close. "Didn’t think I’d see you again so soon, but here we are."
Her heart skipped a beat but she snapped out of it, shaking her head. She faced forward and shoved both guys' faces away from her. The fans were in a ruckus, and she couldn’t understand why.
With furrowed brows, she greets the first fan that comes up. Great, he's wearing a miromabby shirt.
"Cool shirt you got there. I don't remember taking it though." Abby commented, giving the guy a thumbs up.
Of course, he doesn't remember. It was clearly fake. A photoshopped picture of them with the two guys wrapping their arm on Mira's shoulders and she just had to be in the middle.
She furiously signed another fans poster, but doesn't forget to smile and thank them after. Abby and Romance won't stop staring at her and taking up her space.
"Can you two not?" Mira muttered under her breath.
Abby straightened with a dramatic sigh. "I don't like the number two. Let's be three instead."
"Oh my god," Mira groaned, burying her face in her hands. "I’m going to lose it."
Romance leaned back in his chair. "Can’t blame us nor the fans for having good taste."
"You do make a good centerpiece for a love triangle," Abby added.
Heat crawled up to her face and she glared at them both.
"Go bother someone else," she snapped, grabbing a sharpie and aggressively signing the next fan’s poster. The poor girl looked simultaneously thrilled and terrified.
Abby pouted, "Why would we? Don't wanna."
A sudden squeal erupted from the line of fans. A group of them were holding up a massive printed banner: "MiRoMAbby FOREVER 💖"—complete with photoshopped wedding photos and glittery pink text.
Zoey peeked over. "Whoa. That’s, like, next-level editing. I almost believed it was real."
"Don’t say it out loud! They’ll think it’s encouragement!"
These people had Mira stressed out. She glanced at the other end of the table where Rumi and Jinu was in. It was impossible to spot Rumi from the way Jinu was blocking her view with his back. Why's that guy all over her?
"You really should be focusing," Romance took her hand that's holding the pen and guided it to sign the next poster. Their fingers interlocked.
His hand was warm, and it was creeping up to her body. Romance doesn't let go. He stared at her face, taking in the faint blush on her cheeks despite her frown.
"Hey..." He leaned closer to whisper in her ear, "You should come with us after this."
"Shut up." She whispered back harshly, hating how her heart was now beating wildly.
Abby twisted his finger on her hair, playing with it softly. "Pay me some attention too, Mira."
Oh, someone help her.

Everytime I learn about new layoffs in the gamedev the PTSD from my own layoff comes back. One of the advices for concept art portfolio is to make it similar to the studio you want to work with. And what studio I want to work with? All AAA sucks rn, smaller companies use AI, etc
Creative jobs are closely tied to emotional state and money themselves aren't enough, to create something meaningful we have to believe it's possible to deliver the final product, and how can one keep believing that when shit like this happens all the time?..
How does one find energy to keep going in the industry that strips you of everything, no matter what you create you can be laid off any moment and also they can decide not to pay you at all - I'm suing one of my former employers right now which is draining and expensive af
That's why supporting artists' small businesses is more important now than ever. I'm afraid to think where I would be if not for my Patreon supporters and people who buy prints, I'm forever grateful ♥️
terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling
just in case you're unaware, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are most likely the reasons for the temporary ceasefire in Palestine.
Companies are also having really shit deals (for example, I've seen hardly anything over 30 percent off), which is just another reason to boycott.
Starbucks, McDonalds, Disney, and every other company we're boycotting are going to continue to try and pressure you into coming back, into watching their movies, into buying their shit; there's no such thing as boycott fatigue, don't give them your fucking money.
There's no point in spending money this weekend, there's no better time to save money.
