totally makes up for the detached tail and messed up eyes on every third bird

I never use prime, and stuff usually shows up in 2 or 3 days, anyway. They optimized their shipping abilities, and then convinced some people to pay more for it.

I’ve seen this reposted a lot, and yet I still always see it as thicc batman. the optical illusion is forever stuck in my brain

I locked mine freshman year and never came back. no idea if it had anything in it.
