QPQ: None required.

Overall: All good! I don't think ALT0 needs the "giving them the name Thasmin" part, since that's not particularly interesting and removing it makes the hook snappier. ALT0 is the most interesting hook, other than that minor issue. Congrats on the GA! Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 07:44, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
