The ITSAY Anniversary Show, Part 1

Your QL fandom uncle and auntie are here with giant sunglasses, brown liquor in a flask, a folded $5 bill to slip into your hand when nobody’s looking, lukewarm takes, occasional rides on the Disk Horse, deep dives into artistry and industry, and, most importantly, simping. Lots of simping.
