Who's that coming down the red carpet? Why its the leading lady herself, Isoptra. Wearing a fabulous French beret and red scarf combo, she looks stunning, darlings. Slay.
And who's that following close behind? Why its her co-lead, Grogan. They say less is more and Grogan seems to be donning nothing but a navy blue bow tie. But he makes up for it with that award winning smile. Fabulous.
After that we have Isoptra's extended family, everyone's favourite couple Vespa and Dynastra. The latter of which seems to be a bit camera shy. Vespa's taking the lead though. Wonderful. It's my fictional universe dammit. The monsters can be gay if I want them to be.
and OH MY GOD ITS THEM, THEIR MAJESTY, N-SPECTRE THE NB ICON. SLAY HONEY. GAWD DAMN.
Tonight's the night!!
