@Shayera.Hol @LastSon0fMars @staticshocks I tried to avoid tagging u. But I’ve been locked out on this & musical references in DC forever & asking for help. Was trying to do it without bothering u? I can’t keep adding to or I’m gonna be locked out from editing too many times soon…? I’m sorry. I’m just about done today anyways. Been on since early a.m., but, just if/ whenever u see this? I’d appreciate a hand :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:…!!!
