I LOVE @ekso.buzz SO GODDAMN MUCH

Two tigerbee plushies touching snouts. There are party hats stacked on top of them and a bird plushie behind them.

Purpzie the purple tigerbee and Ekso the orange tigerbee being absolute goobers. Purpzie is looking in the air with her tongue out and Ekso looks like he's hyping her up. I don't remember the context.

went to a VR photo class and got some great shots of @ekso.buzz

A black and white avali with orange highlights in the dark, lit by orange and blue lights. He wears an adorable black bowtie. His right hand is on his hips and he's looking to the left, slightly smiling

The same avali on one knee looking smugly at the camera. Bright lighting

The same avali looking like he just landed from a superhero jump. Bright lighting

The same avali with the orange and blue lighting again, stretching his bowtie with a smug look to the right
