I regularly think about our collabs as well. I even saved them into my kindle so I could ‘keep’ them forever. Sorry I’m only just seeing this lovely post of yours!!

Got to hang out with two of my favourite people @redmorningstar.bsky.social and @marichanx.bsky.social
on the weekend!! Dimileth went on a romantic date again ☺️

What if samurai Dimitri was ensnared by a beguiling jorōgumo (spider monster) Byleth? A preview for my piece in @dimilethmoonlight.bsky.social nsfw #dimileth zine 🕷️

Thank you so much, Silver! I wanted to create a soft, hopeful world that was coming alive with colour after the desolation of the war years. They deserve to be happy 🥰

🌸It’s the first day of spring where I live so here’s #dimileth welcoming “new life” together 🌸 #ディミレス
