Pretty Ugly
THEY DEFINITELY STOLE MY NAME, BUT I AM STILL INVITING THEM TO THE SHOW.
Court jester, truth teller, part-time medium & your fav twink.
in prettyugly’s repertoire, you will find a mix of gym bro culture, mysticism, truths in drag, shapeshifting, speculation, a passion for mirrors, disappearance-into-noise, and at times gay porn (with a touch of romance)
prettyugly likes images that collapse on themselves. they work with worldbuilding, creating stories as if they were a house of cards, which they dismantle with a blow and patiently build from scratch again.
