'Like a dog after it has run through barley,' say my fingers, tips grazing the scalp and sending small shocks through my gut. The oil is rubbed between hungry pads as I find the brush, so lost it had started to comb the bunnies from behind the dresser. Tangles grip with like damned souls, each bristle the ferryman's boat as it steers through the reeds and the mire. The water blanches into stagnant color, rivulets standing out as veins against the floor, all slugging their way to the pit. Steel falters to cut the twisting coils as each viper is measured and found wanting, resulting in tutting and sucked air. Treated silver and baked glass form the edges of the scrying pool that scries the slaying done today. "There's my girl!"
Yes I am frustrated by how much fabric is polyester, but I'm also very annoyed by people who know absolutely nothing about textiles just assuming every fabric word they don't recognize must be plastic.
Big "oooh there are CHEMICALS in my food that I can't pronounce, they must be bad!!" energy.
a little bloody mary comic idea I had last halloween
[image ID: a four page digital comic.
panel 1: a thin woman with long dark hair and light skin is seen from behind sitting in front of a vanity mirror in a room full of mirrors. text placed on the back of her head reads, "lots of people know my name."
panel 2: a group of school girls gather around a mirror in a dark school bathroom lit with candles as one of them writes "bloody mary" on the mirror. text on one of the girls' backs reads, "I get calls all the time."
panel 3: the girls run out of the bathroom screaming. text: "but no one is ever happy to see me."
panel 4: a curvy person with light skin and a partially shaved head half-laid out on the floor of a bedroom looks startled as bloody mary emerges from a full-length mirror in front of them. text: "when they don't run away[...]"
panel 5: the person is shown from behind as they hold up a polaroid to bloody mary. text: "they ask me, hunched and trembling, to perform curses and hexes for them."
panel 6: bloody mary shown halfway through a mirror. text: "I never quite know how to respond."
panel 7: bloody mary has her head down on her vanity desk. text: "no one ever calls just to see me."
panel 8: a darker-skinned hand with long black nails writes bloody mary's name on a mirror with red lipstick in a candlelit room. text: "no one[...]"
panel 9: bloody mary emerges from the mirror in front of a darker-skinned woman with two buns and red lipstick, who is smiling. no text.
panel 10: bloody mary is shown up close as the woman tucks mary's hair behind he ear, showing more of her ghostly face, and a bright red lipstick kiss mark on her cheek. text: "except her."

i buried the map to my body, my being, like it was something to grieve,
but you discovered it like treasure; you unearthed places only i knew of
with such tenderness i would swear we've swapped bodies through kisses
because how could anyone else find flowers in a wasteland?
how else could i be loved, as i have always ached to be loved,
if not through my own hands?
- "buried treasure"
yeah yeah yeah, yeah. yeah 🤩
Looking back over past years, Pinocchio and Frankenstein are two projects Del Toro has been trying and trying to make happen, and now one's been released and another has been announced.
Maybe we're reaching a point soon for him to finally make his Mountains of Madness. I don't even care about Lovecraft; I just want Guillermo del Toro to get to make his passion projects.
(Also not complaining if Oscar Isaac ends up playing Victor Frankenstein 😌)
