one of the things i love so much is the community at bristol a&g is everyone kinda knows everyone either by mutual connections or friendship ALSO OMG FELIX!! the person that let you try there paw on is one of my fav cosplayers in bristol there sick

[@joevalek]

Felix was so great!! Loved the community too, glad you liked the video 💕

[@marulous6815]

Bro the quality of your videos are amazing they look like something I see out of a creator with millions of subs. Just some feedback I think making your videos shorter and putting a montage with music in the back with the footage muted to set the tone would go a long way.

[@joevalek]

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! It really means a lot and I will take your advice on board 🤝💕

[@coleninjayt]
