The Devil Reversed
Shut up, Trench, I’m serious
Lilybell Fortemps
whats wrong w brain scnaning
Jocelyn Around

ohhhh qsuis are like
The one that just straightup copies oyur brain to the internet right
The Devil Reversed
To a digitized format but yeah
It encodes your brain and everything about it as a computer program, a really big one
