I was not feeling this round and some of the prompts, but I got it done. Also didn't help with my ear pain from my ear infection last month still hurting this month, but I got them done just in time.

Sorry I've been super behind on capping but I am REFOCUSING. Also I love Mari. I think Alexa was so great at her. I'm working on the Pitt and finishing off Yellowjackets, and then hopefully Thunderbolts will be coming at me soon. I don't know if anyone wants Sinners so let me know if you do.
Spoiler in cut.
