midwinterspring 🦋🌗 is having some weird fun

Bump for canonverse cat shenanigans!

An illustration done in marker and pen with the fic title at the top, drawn in the style of the Star Wars logo. Rey, in a blond wig and large glasses, stands close to Kylo Ren, who wears his Last Jedi outfit. Rey is wearing a khaki vest with a First Order logo on it. Kylo holds Millicent, a ginger cat, who looks at the mouse droid in front of Rey like she wants to pounce on it.

Thank you for this! That does feel like a relevant message. I do wire jewelry myself (and I also have some of yours!) and I am tempted to make something with these stones together.

Hi! I would be interested if you are still doing these.
