Every anniversary I’ll pay respects and say I’m sorry
For they never stood / A chance, as if they could
When no one knows what it’s like to be us

Omegamart is 1 big inspiration, the other big one being the TV show, Superstore

BIG fan of this right here. It’s a really cool idea, and i’m really impressed at the method of execution! Can’t wait for the full thing to release in time, you’re doing great!

I am now going to use this whole wheat bread to enter the nth dimension!
