It's fucking stupid how happy this deer tail makes me. Apparently you can buy happiness, and it costs $14.99 USD + shipping.

How I feel hanging with my pre-transition guy friends I've had since college. It's pretty special to have a group of friends who can make you feel like "one of the boys" without making you feel like "a boy". (tagging #deltrarune because spoilers I guess)
