A graphic for BLOCKBUSTER which says: "WORKS IN PROGRESS Final Submissions" There is a gray box with several stickers and samples of pieces from the zine: Astra Yao - Tal Fic - Erin "“I don’t know,” Astra said, thinking it over. “But the smile you’re wearing right now is the same look Eve gives me when she feels upset about something.” For someone so seemingly hapless, Astra was more observant than he initially thought. “Hey now, I’ve been working my butt off to stay under the radar. Haven’t you considered I’m just tired? My brain is about to collapse from thinking too hard.” Astra only gave him a long look, and he wasn’t sure what to do with the uneasiness welling up in his chest." Hugo Vlad - Kuro Lee "Tea time with the boys ☕️" Wise - Anqrios "So honoured to be able to design dolls of our two fav proxies! Guys they SQUEAK- It's a must have😆" Evelyn - Nic "Leave behind a dreary past for a brilliant future with the Stars of Lyra!"
