Her name’s Millie! And she’s a bard/sorceress! Focusing on glamour, illusions, and controlling people through song and magic.

I’ve been making a 3d vtuber model to use for one of my dungeons and dragons characters, and this week has been mostly focused on her outfit and jewelry. She’s got a very fantasy pirate looking blouse and skirt, with a necklace and earrings made with beads, driftwood, and seashells.

https://www.youtube.com/@ElliotCoen for reviews of discs and boutique media, sometimes I want to watch stuff I see Corridor Crew talk about, or cinemastix. Edit: I’m very interested if anyone knows of any women out there doing film reviews or discussions. It’s mostly dudes out there.

There’s a few movie collectors I follow on youtube and I consider their recommendations and reviews of bluray discs. I’ve also picked up at least one movie from someone talking about it during one of those wired ‘tech’ support videos. Following a hashtag like cinemastodon or something can also get you some organic recommendations.

A true leader. God bless.

Finally! This is what true freedom of speech looks like. Imagine being so free to say things and NEVER have to hear anyone oppose you.

Or go try the demo. It IS eerily uncanny. It’s not at the point where it would fool you for long, but it’s close enough to get caught up in it from time to time.
