Just taking a moment here to appreciate the creator(s) of “I’ve been Proposed to by a Villain.” They have put so much into the public outfits of the leading couple. I mean, I’ve always been a huge sucker for the coordinated and/or matching outfits of a character (I know I’ve discussed it a few times at least), and this is probably one of the best I’ve … Continue reading Art Appreciation: “I’ve been Proposed to by a Villain”
