A vase of flowers with two hands wrapped around it. The text reads GROTESQUE in Blackletter font, with "Elliott Dunstan" beneath.

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.
