Y’all don’t understand—this show is easily in my all-time top five, and I’ve been waiting over a decade to see it again. I’m SO ready to get devastated

Escape Velocity by @victormanibo.com is incredible. It is reduced on Amazon UK kindle today (which is why I’m reading it at 1am). Do yourself a favour and buy it!
