Hug Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Let me personally rank my songs since I have them all now: RAVAGED > Maid of Windemere > Edgelord & Savior > To Make a Man... > Hug > mm Β Even though I was panning Edgelord & Savior in the thread/in the submission form, I actually really like it. I just don't like it as an entry for this round. I couldn't think of anything better though. ?ββοΈ?ββοΈ?ββοΈ?ββοΈ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
