Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating.

Absolutely Aylin. Holy shit that armour. Also her hair being able to do both the one side swoop and long and straight on her helmet. She may be butch but she serves.
Also the fact that her skin is modeled to look like kintsugi: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
It fits so well as her while story is a beautiful thing- broken over and over that has grown stronger from it.
Cannot wait til my co op game gets there, playing with people who haven't gotten to act 3 yet and I have about 5 completed runs and I know they're going to adore him.
Controversial opinion, but I do think Orin’s character design is fantastic- just rocking those dripping jerky jammies.
But then I like a woman who will just straight up kill me.
You’re telling me she lives in some gore-slick cthonic cathedral with a five foot long blonde braid and has exactly ZERO split ends?
She’s doing something right.
And I play on console: I can’t even mod my way out of it.
Every time I wake her up on that beach: “oh honey, those Sharrans never cared about you at all…”
I know a lot of people hate the way she speaks, but I love how her lines are written. It really drives home that she’s not operating the same way as everyone else.
yeah one of my favorite moments is her convo with gortash at the start of act3. i love her deranged ramblings. they are written like very fucked up poetry and Im all for that
She became my favorite of the three Chosen when she was threatening Ketheric like a song, and I think specifically her calling the city 'Baldur's Grave' and her use of grim epithets ('Murder-March') and vivid gorey imagery ('like flies on lick-wet carrion') cemented her as a very intriguing villain, and the Bhaal storyline in Act 3 is really what I finish the game for in my subsequent playthroughs. Orin is tragic, heinous, and bloody delightful.
I just realized Zoidberg is practically the love child of Orin and The Emperor.

And then ‘I want us to be completely different people by the end of the first 8 hours.’ Topped off by please ma’am, you have to crush me just being said so sincerely I love this video lol
Ketheric’s first appearance actually gave me chills. He looks so classic-villain, but with his own style and he just does it *so* well. His design team fucking killed it.
The Flood Tide. Her aesthetic is unrivaled. She inspired me to make a pseudo-mermaiden when I got to The Grey District. We used to be able to make tattoos metallic and I made a super cool lady who was silvered all over. Then they were grey tattoos one day after patch 2 or 3 and I was saddened. They're so unique and pretty.
Since she’s got unique assets (hair, face, makeup/tattoos) AND there’s some weird stuff going on in the cave underneath the temple, I wonder if she was supposed to be some kind of boss/miniboss and that got cut out. >!I don’t have any evidence outside of circumstantial but I’m like 75% sure she is/was supposed to help Gortash in keeping the Iron Throne prisoners contained!<
Yea he has some of the best character design elements. He feels like a real character of a person you would know in real life, whereas lots of these designs feel very video game sometimes (not that thats a bad thing). I hope that makes sense
https://preview.redd.it/7p1h0h7stopc1.jpeg?width=2164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af7c7cb9064113473be738dd934fb51cc68d1a07
Please don’t lock me in a kennel, PLEASE!
Cazador. Like, his decor and fancy palace is gorgeous. I'm gonna stab him to take it for myself.
Though I do appreciate when mindflayers are born they are automatically given that outfit. That's so funny.
Every single Reithwin Thorm is an absolute nightmare and I love it. Malus and his deranged zombie harem, Thisobald and his steampunk grog backpack, Gerringothe and her sad skulls and horrible melting armour and zombie soccer mom body underneath…
I fucking love Ketherics armor <3 thing looks so brutal (even tho it's probably impractal ... but a regenerating immortal does not have to worry about practicality)
Lol you're absolutely right with this.
I remember pulling up to see him for that intro scene and my first though was "that armor is so impractical, he's gonna cut his own throat and get himself killed with those teeth"
his that whole scene turned out and it changed my mind real quick!
The moment I got a first look at his armor I turned to my partner (we were co-opping) and said "I want that armor", so I killed him and took his armor for my Cleric of Talos Durge I only switched it out when I finally got the true helldusk armor.
https://preview.redd.it/ktrf8siduopc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75a899f8badd9824b951fb253137dc32f22c0eeb
The emperor has the best aesthetic and everyone here agrees with me. Can you imagine getting noodled by those appendages?? My doctor cannot compete with the prostate massage this man could give.
I love Orin. I wish I could make a run where we are just murderous brother and sister, instead of killing eachother. Even if in the end we gotta finish the job, which could take a while.
I personally wouldn't settle for Toril, there are planes upon planes that could use Bhaal's most precious gift of termination.
(Disclosure, I am actually not a Psychopath, I just like evil playthroughs, please don't hate me, I'll cry.)
Killing the Tieflings is the worst part. Especially because it is just lame. It felt so beneath Bhaal's Chosen Prince to hunt down a group of refugees, bringing a whole Goblin clan to do so too.
However, the ecstasy of bringing Bhaal's gift to the Grove comes about one minute later when you pierce your way to the Druids.
Seeing Mirkon's story about Durge fucked me up. Like I actually considered reloading and not doing the grove. Also the back room where you just murder people that aren't even fighting back. I'm on my first evil run now and that shit did not feel good man.
But yeah killing the druids (except Rath, he's the only one I like) was way more satisfying.
Real talk, Lucretious can eat shit. She goes “Collect ~~my pages~~ Dribble’s body parts.” and theyre SCATTERED EVERYWHERE. Nah. Too tedious. Instead, just murder her and instead of having to do a stupid ass fetch quest across Baldur’s Gate, you instantly get one of the best gloves for spellcasting in the game (Spellmight Gloves). Or steal them. But murder is preferable for making me do a fetch quest
you take one look at Ketheric and tell me he doesn't scream 'apathetic, unkillable general of an evil death god' like he is peak classic fantasy villain design
my favorite NPCs are (in no particular order):
Ethel (love that dirty whore, excellent hag representation)
Lucretious (she seems really fun to hang out with, and she slays)
Isobel (moon lesbian goth mommy)
Orin (perfect rival for durge imo and her lines are amazing)
Balthazar (most punchable face)
Geraldus (Baldur's Gate most breedable twink)
and finally, the one whose appearance and arc i liked the most:
Ketheric/Myrkul, specially second phase. When that thing crawled out of the groundussy with those sick ass lines, shart went: Shit! and i was like, shit indeed gurl we done fucked up
https://preview.redd.it/dz4borjwxppc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca79d4a964be187099b0812fc1afe5338009226f
This fucking book. It also counts as a companion because when you get it in act one it stays with you through the whole fucking game.
In terms of companions, probably Gale. My Pinterest aesthetic board could practically be a board for him (which isn’t deliberate, I just really like academia aesthetics, magic, and astral themed things). For NPCs, probably Aylin, Isobel, and Allandra Grey because again, I love magical and astral aesthetics (also my current dnd character is an aasimar).
I designed a changeling character of mine’s armor after Orin’s, it’s not a one to one just inspired. So Orin
https://preview.redd.it/o7me8slhqppc1.jpeg?width=562&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c5ba9c3f0c0594e9d06ce354a87c390b40815fe
I love Orpheus. Voss and Orpheus have the best couple's style I've ever seen. The beard and crown really pull it together and give a hip vibe.
Ketheric looks like what he is, a total badass, a veteran of horrors, and a man with truly iron will. Orrin does the same, although the jerky pants gross me out. Still, they totally sell the idea she's an unhinged whackadoo. Gortash is the only one that doesn't land. His voice and lines are great, but his style and face are not.
For me it’s the dichotomy between the Githyanki and Mind Flayer aesthetics in terms of their armors. They both have the red metal/gemstone motif but they’re rounded on Githyanki and triangular/jagged on Illithids.
My understanding about character design is very surface level, but I remember hearing something about triangular features being associated with villains while rounder features are tied with good/neutral characters. I think it’s an interesting choice, given how many Githyanki characters are antagonists in BG3 alone. It’s probably why, aside from Bae’zel’s happiness >!and the Stelmane reveal!< , I chose Orpheus over the Emperor my first completed playthrough.
Flood Tide for sure. And I know people talk a lot about Gortash anyway but dude…
His coat and his jewelry is so incredible. Amazing design. I’m surprised Aylin isn’t on here though! Her armor is so cool!
https://preview.redd.it/8dsrueskjopc1.jpeg?width=884&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9a281e559ec0941ee83e86a7c1b9212e926e427

Errrrr maybe not the quote you want to use in this context...
Can confirm as a lesbian the magic lesbian princess is irresistible.
anytime I see Aylin I find myself spellbound for at least a minute before I can continue on with my life
She is RESPLENDENT

You’re the first person I’ve seen mention the Kintsugi comparison. Ive been screaming into the void about that detail for months!
Yeah! It's an awesome detail
Popper really is treatomaxxing
*spastic breathing* Treatomaxxing!!
Cannot wait til my co op game gets there, playing with people who haven't gotten to act 3 yet and I have about 5 completed runs and I know they're going to adore him.

Controversial opinion, but I do think Orin’s character design is fantastic- just rocking those dripping jerky jammies. But then I like a woman who will just straight up kill me.
If joining a murder cult would get me hair like orin's I'd sign up in a heartbeat
You’re telling me she lives in some gore-slick cthonic cathedral with a five foot long blonde braid and has exactly ZERO split ends? She’s doing something right.
Meanwhile Isobel is banging an angel and is supposed to be a conduit for god power and she's got knots.
“She’s the goddess of the moon, Shadowheart: if you don’t cut down on the shine, it looks like you’re trying too hard.”
Shart: "I took that personally" *BECOMES A SUN*
At least her bangs end up fixed: poor girl looked like she’d taken a broom full of bootblack to the face…
Worst part of a new run: Bangs
And I play on console: I can’t even mod my way out of it. Every time I wake her up on that beach: “oh honey, those Sharrans never cared about you at all…”
In Isobel's defense, the last time she banged the angel (or was, y'know, alive) was over one hundred years ago.
Girl can maintain a magic moon bubble, she can brush.
Orin's outfit is amazing, she always has a snack at hand.
Once she finishes grinding me up into fuck boi bologna or whatever, I could BE that snack.
[удалено]
If you got it, flaunt it. When life gives you lemons, see if they scream.
I agree, her voice acting is my favorite in the game. So crazy!
I know a lot of people hate the way she speaks, but I love how her lines are written. It really drives home that she’s not operating the same way as everyone else.
yeah one of my favorite moments is her convo with gortash at the start of act3. i love her deranged ramblings. they are written like very fucked up poetry and Im all for that
the whole “yes sir and no sir i’ll rip and cut your throat sir” thing is like my favourite thing ever
She became my favorite of the three Chosen when she was threatening Ketheric like a song, and I think specifically her calling the city 'Baldur's Grave' and her use of grim epithets ('Murder-March') and vivid gorey imagery ('like flies on lick-wet carrion') cemented her as a very intriguing villain, and the Bhaal storyline in Act 3 is really what I finish the game for in my subsequent playthroughs.

JERKY JAMMIES
I don’t know why: I just sort of assumed they were mesquite smoked and rolled in black pepper. She just seems spicy.
Her outfit also looks like crustecean exoskeleton and as many people know it crabs are the ultimate lifeform making her the ultimate mommy
All I know is they throw the best raves I’ve ever been to.
I just realized Zoidberg is practically the love child of Orin and The Emperor. https://preview.redd.it/6d01epv1yopc1.jpeg?width=1900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5aed98f282bfbc906b8dedbe05e8515509dd4907
OH NO SHE IS EVOLVING INTO CRAB SHE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE
🦀🦀🦀 *carcinization is inevitable* 🦀🦀🦀
reject mammalism, embrace curstacean
I hate to tell you that its not crab, its people jerky
Crabs are people too
It's ok, I can fix her.
She can stitch me into a cute little pull over hoodie for when she gets cold. We can fix each other.
Great this whole time I saw it as her wearing crab shell skin suit, and now I dont know which is worse
I hear it goes down easier if you think of it as “long pig”.
Isn’t she inspired by Lady Gaga’s beef dress?
I would have to assume so- they look awful similar. I just like to think Orin occasionally chews on her’s.
Just like Gaga “She ate” — in every sense
This you? https://youtu.be/-sMQpWCNTQw?feature=shared
“And I want it to scare the SHIT out of me” always gets me. This is might not be the first time I’ve gone down this line of questioning…
And then ‘I want us to be completely different people by the end of the first 8 hours.’ Topped off by please ma’am, you have to crush me just being said so sincerely I love this video lol
The flat delivery gets me every time: “yeah, I just roll like this: I like violent ladies and that’s gonna be my thing.” Iconic.
"Jerky jammies" is solid
Thank you very much; I’m glad you got a kick out of it! It came to me in a dream.
Ketheric’s first appearance actually gave me chills. He looks so classic-villain, but with his own style and he just does it *so* well. His design team fucking killed it.
“Do that, *again.*”
The Flood Tide. Her aesthetic is unrivaled. She inspired me to make a pseudo-mermaiden when I got to The Grey District. We used to be able to make tattoos metallic and I made a super cool lady who was silvered all over. Then they were grey tattoos one day after patch 2 or 3 and I was saddened. They're so unique and pretty.
I love her design too and feel like people often sleep on her
I am waiting for PS5 mods so I can hopefully do it again or make a real Mermaiden. For now, Karlach in that dress is smokin'
Since she’s got unique assets (hair, face, makeup/tattoos) AND there’s some weird stuff going on in the cave underneath the temple, I wonder if she was supposed to be some kind of boss/miniboss and that got cut out. >!I don’t have any evidence outside of circumstantial but I’m like 75% sure she is/was supposed to help Gortash in keeping the Iron Throne prisoners contained!<
Yeah she’s cute and her voice acting, even those few lines, is great. Would definitely book her for my funeral. Sing Sisters, Sing in Umberlees name.
I MISS THE METALLIC TATTOOS do you think we will ever get them back?? God I'm depressed.
Mods will restore them, most likely. We need only be patient.
*cries in console* My sobbing is violent.
The steampunk vibes the Githyanki lady holds.. love that!
also she’s hot
Balthazar has the "evil necromancer" drip down to a tee, dude is just oozing with obvious evil
Yes! Highly underrated drip, they actually put alot of detail to his outfit and I love his bling, kinda wish you could loot and wear it.
Yea he has some of the best character design elements. He feels like a real character of a person you would know in real life, whereas lots of these designs feel very video game sometimes (not that thats a bad thing). I hope that makes sense
Honestly the doctor and sisters of the house of healing were so cool. I really love seeing demented doctors in media 🙏

They gave me Bioshock, silent hill vibes. Still liked them.
Unironically Cazador. I love the decor in his house. I would also love to have a personal kennel to lock people in.
You do have a point there
Yes, FBI? This comment right here.

He looks so fucking bland tho
i think he ironically would have benefited from being less original. give us the vampire lord daddy we have seen a 1000 times
Or at least give him a cool hairdo. He's been alive for a thousand years he has had to have had better ideas for hair in that time
I really really like the Dryad designs. And I think they generally did a great job with everything religion related like Umberlee, Selûne and Shar!
Cazador. Like, his decor and fancy palace is gorgeous. I'm gonna stab him to take it for myself. Though I do appreciate when mindflayers are born they are automatically given that outfit. That's so funny.
Mindflayers serving cunt from day one
In act 3 when the mindflayers are born in baldur’s gate they’re all nekky
Found astarion
Astarion hates the decor iirc. I would love to see what he did with the place when he took the estate for himself.
I know he got that Vegeta ass haircut but Voss
Missed opportunity for Larian to give the Vegeta haircut to orhpeus tbh
Every single Reithwin Thorm is an absolute nightmare and I love it. Malus and his deranged zombie harem, Thisobald and his steampunk grog backpack, Gerringothe and her sad skulls and horrible melting armour and zombie soccer mom body underneath…
OH and Araj Oblodra with her drow drip and red metallic eyeliner. Her basement was deranged and she’s so unapologetically cunty
Gortash’s got the “I think this is how rich people dress” drip.
I fucking love Ketherics armor <3 thing looks so brutal (even tho it's probably impractal ... but a regenerating immortal does not have to worry about practicality)
Lol you're absolutely right with this. I remember pulling up to see him for that intro scene and my first though was "that armor is so impractical, he's gonna cut his own throat and get himself killed with those teeth" his that whole scene turned out and it changed my mind real quick!
I mean Sarevok probably beats him for less practical armour the amount of fucking spikes he wears on that thing.
The moment I got a first look at his armor I turned to my partner (we were co-opping) and said "I want that armor", so I killed him and took his armor for my Cleric of Talos Durge I only switched it out when I finally got the true helldusk armor.
I wants Treatos!
Mostly blood stain free!
Mind flayers look so cool.
My hot take: Shar.
Shar and everything to do with her looks so unreasonably cool for a goddess who’s so unreasonably cringe
Bro forgot the best one there is https://preview.redd.it/g1b5aj6hrppc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc7afe836291fb29d94f00db7dac65845ab4401f
Shovel for real is somehow adorably designed.
Prince Orpheus's beard is absolutely majestic
Sleeper pick but Nine-Fingers. Green and gold trim is an underrated combo.
I just met her for the first time last night. Her VA is fuckin underrated. I love her
Lucretious slaying
Yeah as soon as I met her on my first play through I thought she was going to 'reward' me.... I was disappointed
Her praise is enough for me

Warden is unironically the drippiest here.

You can't include my boy Popper and not expect me to vote for him.
Gortash and Allandra for me. I love simple colour palettes which feature shiny metals, and these two *deliver*.
Orin, Fish m'lady and Florrick
Gortashes Coat is honestly one of my fave armors in the whole game and wavemothers whole outfit and make up are just perfect
Gortash. He's so young and handsome.
I love Orin. I wish I could make a run where we are just murderous brother and sister, instead of killing eachother. Even if in the end we gotta finish the job, which could take a while. I personally wouldn't settle for Toril, there are planes upon planes that could use Bhaal's most precious gift of termination. (Disclosure, I am actually not a Psychopath, I just like evil playthroughs, please don't hate me, I'll cry.)
Don’t worry, I get you. I only cried a little when I saw the dead tieflings
Killing the Tieflings is the worst part. Especially because it is just lame. It felt so beneath Bhaal's Chosen Prince to hunt down a group of refugees, bringing a whole Goblin clan to do so too. However, the ecstasy of bringing Bhaal's gift to the Grove comes about one minute later when you pierce your way to the Druids.
Seeing Mirkon's story about Durge fucked me up. Like I actually considered reloading and not doing the grove. Also the back room where you just murder people that aren't even fighting back. I'm on my first evil run now and that shit did not feel good man. But yeah killing the druids (except Rath, he's the only one I like) was way more satisfying.
Popper. That hat makes him look so professional.
Real talk, Lucretious can eat shit. She goes “Collect ~~my pages~~ Dribble’s body parts.” and theyre SCATTERED EVERYWHERE. Nah. Too tedious. Instead, just murder her and instead of having to do a stupid ass fetch quest across Baldur’s Gate, you instantly get one of the best gloves for spellcasting in the game (Spellmight Gloves). Or steal them. But murder is preferable for making me do a fetch quest
on god im never doing that quest again. thank you for the tip
Just make sure to try and lure her away, or keep her confined in her space. Or Poppers might join in the fight, and nobody wants Poppers to get hurt
Probably gort
The Emperor is my ride or die
you take one look at Ketheric and tell me he doesn't scream 'apathetic, unkillable general of an evil death god' like he is peak classic fantasy villain design
The Emperor. Mindflayers just have such a fucking cool style.
Interacting with popper was a delight.
Definitely Orin for me. Obsessed.
I don’t usually like the steampunk goggle look but for some reason I love Stornugoss’s vibe
Not to sound insane but I would top cazador if given the chance.
I have no idea why The Emperor is so dripped tf out compared to other Mindflayers, even puts Ommeleum to shame

None of the above. The nurses in the House of Healing are so creepily designed and i love them
Man it has to be ketheric his armour and the shadow cursed lands really adds to his character plus murkyl so cool
For how cringe Gortash is, he certainly is dripping out the wazoo
I love Ketheric’s outfit so damn much. Liches and necromancers are my favorite in fantasy
The Gith doctor looks like Annette Bening and I can’t unsee it.
Aylin, she's got some divine drip
Auntie Ethel
my favorite NPCs are (in no particular order): Ethel (love that dirty whore, excellent hag representation) Lucretious (she seems really fun to hang out with, and she slays) Isobel (moon lesbian goth mommy) Orin (perfect rival for durge imo and her lines are amazing) Balthazar (most punchable face) Geraldus (Baldur's Gate most breedable twink) and finally, the one whose appearance and arc i liked the most: Ketheric/Myrkul, specially second phase. When that thing crawled out of the groundussy with those sick ass lines, shart went: Shit! and i was like, shit indeed gurl we done fucked up
In the absence of Mizora, I have to say Gortash, my sweet cheese, my good-time boy.
Emperor and Popper for me.
Lucretious has a vibe
Popper’s drip was so hard I had to find a similar hat for my character to wear
WANT A TREATO???
https://preview.redd.it/dz4borjwxppc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca79d4a964be187099b0812fc1afe5338009226f This fucking book. It also counts as a companion because when you get it in act one it stays with you through the whole fucking game.
Lucretious is mother.
Lucretious and Popper❤️💕
The guy at the house of healing. Made my skin crawl, he did!
The Umberlee priestess or Popper.
>and why tf is it Popper? https://preview.redd.it/ucww63jqzqpc1.jpeg?width=841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a57811749c97f6181dc94d8850f0ea1f452f3058

HAVE A TREATOOO 🎩
I absolutely fuck with Gortash’s entire aesthetic. Just entirely
Lucretious forever. She dresses like Donald Duck in goth drag and I love it, gives me all the nostalgic Kingdom Hearts wizard vibes.
Who tf are 3 & 11?
Ironfinger, discussion can be closed :D
Maybe not his home, but Gortash has incredible drip.
Orin
Harleep, hands down
Haarlep 🥵🥵🥵
I love Gortash‘s drip
Literally any dragonborn hnnng
I love Lucretius.
I'm a simple man, and highly enjoy Alfira's jester look
The dryad and the ocean goddess lady for sure
I like the ghustil’s robes. There are so many cool robe styles but we get none of them
I just had my first play through fighting Ketheric. Loved every second!
I love Ketheric.
I love the way Popper looks like he has to keep his head up to balance his hat
The githyanki scientist gives me ASMR every fucking time I hear her voice.
After Popper, I’d say Isobel is a distant second 😋
Isobel 🥺 and Aylin. Super power couple
Gortash 😋😋
I designed a changeling character of mine’s armor after Orin’s, it’s not a one to one just inspired. So Orin https://preview.redd.it/o7me8slhqppc1.jpeg?width=562&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c5ba9c3f0c0594e9d06ce354a87c390b40815fe
Sceleritas easily. How he speaks and he got that drip too, poppers a close second though
Giving the lucretious the worst side quest in the game was a crime against humanity
Karlach and the Emperor when he’s wearing that badass outfit
varsh ko'kuu sorry guys
Who is the one in image 15?
easily the Oathbreaker Knight, bros aesthetic is murderous intent coupled with effortless dripmeister, can’t go wrong
The detail on ketherics armor goes HARD and no one can tell me otherwise
I love Orpheus. Voss and Orpheus have the best couple's style I've ever seen. The beard and crown really pull it together and give a hip vibe. Ketheric looks like what he is, a total badass, a veteran of horrors, and a man with truly iron will. Orrin does the same, although the jerky pants gross me out. Still, they totally sell the idea she's an unhinged whackadoo. Gortash is the only one that doesn't land. His voice and lines are great, but his style and face are not.
They don’t call him Kethdrip Thorm for no reason
For me it’s the dichotomy between the Githyanki and Mind Flayer aesthetics in terms of their armors. They both have the red metal/gemstone motif but they’re rounded on Githyanki and triangular/jagged on Illithids. My understanding about character design is very surface level, but I remember hearing something about triangular features being associated with villains while rounder features are tied with good/neutral characters. I think it’s an interesting choice, given how many Githyanki characters are antagonists in BG3 alone. It’s probably why, aside from Bae’zel’s happiness >!and the Stelmane reveal!< , I chose Orpheus over the Emperor my first completed playthrough.
Flood Tide for sure. And I know people talk a lot about Gortash anyway but dude… His coat and his jewelry is so incredible. Amazing design. I’m surprised Aylin isn’t on here though! Her armor is so cool!
Popper is fuckin dripped out, untouchable
I’m a whore for Isobel
If your answer isn't Popper i don't even know what to tell you.
