Finished A(nother) Draft Of My Writing And Looked Down To See My Gingerbread Vampire Looking Back At

I used to be mad that my star sign's ruling planet is Jupiter because the god Jupiter is a bit of a cur, but LOOK! I made little stimming paws when I saw this!!

(Side note, no, Meta, I'm not using the fudging app, you sneaky little fopdoodle.)

(Reaction image is BBC Purrlock)

(Oh wait, I've actually drawn Jupiter/Zeus as a cat!!)

which phantom is ur fav. in all versions. please.

Aahhhhh!

Got to say the OG O.G., Leroux's Erik, but it's EXTREMELY PAINFUL to say so and PLEASE don't tell me all the versions I didn't pick will be put on a converter belt to a Phantom meat grinder

(I'm sorry to every Phan friend who sees this. Cherik lovers, don't come at me with swords, I do love him, okay?)

All my Phantom art in which there is NO FAVOURITISM, I swear

Remember Woolly Erik? His debut has been delayed due to a sad wardrobe mishap. Let's just say the seat of his trousers isn't... seated.

I'm making him some cheeky untucked shirttails to make up for it.

More of my needle felting shenanigans. Lots of monsters. Well, all monsters.

I may work at a desk so deeply buried in paraphernalia that I only have one small square of surface where I put either my keyboard OR sketchbook, but I insist that my phone apps have a uniform colour that matches the wallpaper.

Hold up.

Tumblr, care to explain yourself?

Vampurr necessities

Would YOU pass the vampire certification test?

My name is Amanda, and I listen to Taylor Swift, so I get to make these jokes. Zaida is a real name for a Victorian vampire-witch lady from Aylmer Vance and the Vampire.

As much as I adore gamourous vamp fashion, @vladimirsangel and I were talking about how we would be a danger to the public if we wore anything fancy. I would wreck a white tuxedo with vampiric speed, but at least it won't be a health hazard.

Three people - um - friends - um - menaces to the general public (yep, that'll do) getting together to solve a murder over coffee. One of them is only holding theirs. Come on, guys, feed the vampire.

Saw a drawing template by the brilliant @albanenechi and thought, "It's my goobers!" and decided to try it on my dubious people-drawing skills. More to come.

The Freedom to be Grotesque: Gothic Authoresses

Reclaim authorship over “grotesque” writing. Writers have long been forced to deny the impact of their writing for fear of frightening reade

"I shall thus give a general answer to the question, so frequently asked me—How I, then a young girl, came to think of, and to dilate upon, so very hideous an idea?"

- Mary Shelley, Introduction to Frankenstein

In the 1831 edition of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley explained how she, as a 19-year-old young woman, wrote a work that shook contemporary intellectuals.

“I didn’t mean anything by it; it’s only flight of fancy,” the writers who defined gothic literature said to a world that was not prepared to accept that women with no formal education were capable of the intellectual prowess woven into these tales of dark, profound, terrifying worlds.

We have long lived in a society that is quick to denounce, demonise and deny the voices that speak in a different tone. Even if you never show it to a single soul, write. Write, because to write dark, terrible things is to accept that they exist inside you without shame.

Unedited post - with a short piece I published years ago - linked above!

If a pole dancing vampire isn't what you wanted to see today, you know better now, yes?

My vampire Pierce knows how to pole dance. I'm not sure what to do with that information, but it's there. He did ballet, that's actually plot relevant, but this... Well, he's having fun.

(I have a lot of less unhinged WIPs on the way, but I'm low on vivacity right now, I need to drink blood)

OUT OF YOUR COFFINS, SUCKERS! Edward Gory and Bram Stoker have collaborated again!

@vladimirsangel This is now my favourite (not) Christmas story. My only complaint is that I love cauliflowers. @blackforrestpunk The action! The drama! Applause! Nadir with horns is wonderful.

we did something again.

@vladimirsangel best writer of this damn planet! i am so glad to adapt again one of your short fics as a comic <3 it is always a pleasure for me

if you want to read this incredible fic, written by vlad: https://www.tumblr.com/vladimirsangel/760266902105931776/not-christmas-but-close read it. it is so good.

A vampire t-shirt I'm working on. The transfer paper won't unstick, so I've got to slowly scrub it off, but I managed to save Mr Pierce here.

Two tomato nosferatus are currently being excavated. They're mildly horrified.

I can't put the print in my shops because most of it is cheeky screenshots from Pinterest, but I'll post the results when I manage to salvage it
