I stand with my cancelled wife
#thegrottopod

A portrait of a red haired woman wearing a dark off the shoulder shirt and choker. Her eyes are cyan and her pupils are diamonds, and her eyebrows are slightly furrowed. She's in front of a wavy speckled purple to teal background with a black pattern that fades out towards the top. A large pink diamond is behind her head, and she is cast in a pink light from above and a teal light from below.
