It's The Gang Of Chicken Summoners! They're Probably Bad At It Because I Can't Find The Bloody Vampire

I need to put him in a safe place, he's so small 😭

Ah, good, ask box still open. Don't close it, or small Erik won't be able to visit you -

(Serious Questions coming later, but enjoy some fluffy Erik first)

Yeah, it is still open :-D

And OMFG AHHHHH look at him how cute he issssss ahhhhhhh can i buy himmmm??? Ahhhh

Elf Vampire

Well... that's one way of evading the vampire hunters. Pierce is not beating the Christmas Elf allegations.

In spite of his delightful personality, he does have some bad vampire tendencies. Stalking and hiding in high places, for example.

At the moment, I'm putting him through some pain in my book (complicated backstory comes back to bite him in the behind), so let him have some fun.

*gestures vaguely* And here are my horrors.

If you end up reading it, let me know what you think, I wish for your feedback!

If you want to share your writing, send me the link, and I'll give you a follow, kudos, crumpets, whatever it is you people do there (lordy lord, I feel like a relic)

I think my profile picture deserves a spotlight:

Always delightful when my friends throw me under the bus for inspiring unhinged ideas.

Look at him, he's Goth and cool and Eldritch, unlike my silly goober

Red death.

I was recently informed by @blackghostm2o that we never got to see Cherik at a masquerade. This is my humble attempt to rectify that, since we all know that Cherik is the best dressed Phantom. The fashion historian Bernadette Banner has made a Red Death gown with the boning exposed to give it a skeletal look, so I borrowed the idea and incorporated a boned corset.

Art exchange with @frommarshtheycome

Who would win, the Skeleton Man or his own stage/screen adaptation?

Thank you, Marsh, for your wonderful art of Sarah!

Can you guess which one is which? Answer under the dumb doodle I did on the bus

1: L-R: Sharpest Lives, Vampire Money, 2: Vampires Will Never Hurt You.

(Shoutout to @nalesnik-z-morela I'm sorry when you first told me about MCR my whole review was "there was a lot of screaming" I'm now obsessed, so you see, I got my comeuppance.)

I've read very few romance books because it's bad for my health. I swear it makes that one happy braincell in my brain start wheezing and sputtering for dear life.

One thing that gets my goat is those female leads who are trying to hard to be weird. The author wants them to be 'just a girl' but also 'not like other girls.' The love interest from It Ends With Us used that exact words 'You're not like the other girls' many times.

Author, that is a painfully normal - I won't say boring but oh look I just did - human being.

The message these romances are trying to send is: 'You can be weird and still get noticed by a tall, dark and handsome man with a high income (that last point is just coincidence because we don't care about money)!' But the message I'm receiving is: 'You can be weird in a conventionally understandable and acceptable way and still get noticed by...'

Because all of the 'weird' leads are exactly like the people around me who I never fit in with. So if THEY'RE weird, what does that make me? Frankenstein's Monster?

(This is not me comparing myself to the expectations set by the romance genre. This is me saying its portrayal of people is skewered.)

I challenge romance authors to be locked in a Gothic castle cellar with me. They won't use the phrase 'not like other girls' lightly after that.

Time to return to vampires and gloomy fog, I need a pick-me-up. Dracula, my friend, is it Zoo Theft today or Stupid Sunhat Day?

Drawing of my Vampire Pierce 🫦🩸

Drawn with one brush (two if we count the sketch), one blending brush, and ten(ish) colours. The blending brush is my best friend when it comes to digital art. Pierce looked like a Muppet in makeup before blending.

I had more to say about the process, but I feel the need to go play dead for a while, so I'll leave it at that. If there's any you want to know, let me know, I'll be in my coffin.

@w0lfinsheepscl0thing Yes we can! It's a drawing from my website!
