🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so, straight from Ryan M. Geiss himself (http://www.geisswerks.com/about_drempels.html), and I'm quoting here because it's iconic:

"A hallucinatory desktop enhancer - bring your wallpaper to life with graceful, swirling imagery. Runs beautifully as animated wallpaper, or as a screensaver."

the way that description ate and left no crumbs 😭 swirling imagery?? animated wallpaper?? main character energy fr fr 💜
