Hello, sorry for the wait. I was under the impression I had posted here already!

I like the item, it's a very cool reflection of your character. We would like one change though. While we understand that it's a framed painting, there'd be problems if nobody could remove it even after you left the round and such. So, it should keep that function in some way.

Oh, to specify, "unable to be ripped off" should be "unable to be harm-intent ripped apart as a poster would". You can only take it down by using tools.

This is approved! I assume you might PR this yourself, but let me know if that's not the case. Make sure to link this thread if you are.
