I've Read Very Few Romance Books Because It's Bad For My Health. I Swear It Makes That One Happy Braincell

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

Hiii, just wanted to say hi and ask how your Halloween was?

Have a lovely day/night

- Jam 🐝 ✨️

Hellow Jam, thank you very much for asking! It always makes me happy to see your little frogger picture!

My Hallowe'en season has been bonkers! I was burnt out from Inktober and also the case-of-internet-identity drama came right on its heels.

It's fine, I'm fine, at least I can have a laugh making Sherlock memes about it!

The most spooky thing I did this year was make a bunch of costumes for my stuffed Purrlock and rant about how Kindle had the AUDACITY to recommend me a Christmas romance on November 1st. Me, whose library is full of rubbishy vampire fiction side by side with Victorian horror classics! All good fun.

I hope you had a good halloween & a lovely day/night!

"You can take me hot to go!"

If I have adorableness, you get adorableness. If I get brainrot, well, so do you! Je suis désolée.

All phantom cat stuff here!

It's the gang of chicken summoners! They're probably bad at it because I can't find the bloody vampire chicken, so they get a dead one.

My smol Pierce looks like a hamster, Erik has a new mask, and @vladimirsangel 's Aurik is holding onto Erik to stop him faceplanting - that mask is heavy.

(Shoot a tag at Vlad for me if mine doesn't work, I dunno if I can tag in asks)

This is gold!

I cannot describe how much i love this little fluffy guys!!!

Set tag: @vladimirsangel looooooooook

Erik live reaction:

Thank you so much for doing this - and so fast! I tip my hat to you!

And I am simply delighted that you hear Lerik in this song too, it's his song, poor, unhappy "I just want to be like everybody else" Erik.

Will Wood + PoTO is one of my favourite things. I have a comic and the bare bones of an animatic.

Love me normally – Will Wood

@purrlockswatson request

This song is so Lerik coded omg

Thank you, Tumblr, for showing me ads I absolutely don't want to see. I mean it in the most unironic way possible.

Maybe I'm a paranoid mediaeval minion, but I get absolutely horrified whenever an Internet platforms shows me ads featuring something I searched for just once, seconds ago, on another platform. It makes me feel stalked.

(Unimpressed cat is Daniel Meowlloy from my Interview with the Vampurr "Disregard!" comic)

How it feels to be writing right now.

Please, please, please stop talking so much, guys, we're too far over the word count already. Well. Serves me right for handing out POVs to everyone like cheap chocolates.

Is any of you good at deleting things? Or is it the universal plight of writers? Me, I'm not getting out of this without help or divine interference.

Prepare to be menaced by writing memes, I'm back at my nonsense writing these days.

Internet not working, can't upload drawings, so reblog. I'm moving my writing excerpts to this blog, since the other one is for art now

💀💀💀 Three for halloween. Though no pressure :) yay!

Scene: L'Ôpéra des Vampires, the Midnight Summer's Masque. (I'm hungover from rereading Phantom of the Opera and had to write this slightly fanfiction-ish section)

Will give you the bits for the other two skulls soon! Opinions and advice welcome, I don't bite and Pierce doesn't either without permission!Send '💀' in my asks, and I'll post a piece of my writing

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

For the OC and creator ask game😁🥰

2,4,5,8,13,15,17,20,27,30

A,B,D

Have a safe, fun New Year's Eve,and may this new year be one of many blessings and all things good for you and your loved ones!!!

Oh my, thank you for asking! Questions are from this ask game. Lots of good ones here!

2. How easy is it to make them laugh? Pierce and Cleopatra are a pair of clowns at a funeral. They laugh easily, joke weirdly, and fill my carefully crafted gothic atmosphere with too much comedy. Sarah laughs at people's misfortune. Especially when it's Pierce.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust? Pierce trusts on instinct; luckily, it usually works, and he has a gaurd dog (Sarah). Cleopatra holds people at arms length, but she's so outwardly sweet that it's hard to tell. Earning Sarah's trust would take a lifetime, and you'd probably be wasting your time.

5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust? You'd have to do something really horrible to Pierce's Undead heart to earn his mistrust. Cleopatra, fairly easily, but she gives second chances. You have Sarah's mistrust by default.

8. What are they told to stop doing as a child? Little Pierce brought home creatures and friends that he begged to keep but were probably no good for him. When he was older, he had to be told to stop squandering the family fortune. Little Cleopatra had to be removed from her room to be introduced to human company. Little Sarah bit people, swore a lot and terrorised her governesses.

13. Oh, this is a good one! The trio dress according to the three Gothic colours, red white and black. Pierce wears white and pale colours, signifying his role as the 'innocent.' Cleopatra wears red, vitality and passion. Sarah dresses in black, Doom and Gloom and severity.

15. How do they speak? Pierce is equally fluent in eloquent flirting, undignified emotional monologues and spontanious yapping. Cleopatra changes her style according to who she's talking to and what she thinks they expect of her. Sarah has two gears: swearing and death-threats or cold politeness with discreet sarcasm.

17. Are they easily embarrassed? Pierce gets flustered when he meets someone as good at innuendo as him. Cleopatra used to be self-conscious, but not anymore. Sarah is proud, she reacts badly to being demeaned.

20. How would they explain the difference between familial, platonic, and romantic love?Pierce would say platonic and romantic loves are chosen, but familial love isn't, and the difference between platonic love and romantic love is that with romantic love, there's the desire to become part of that person and have a part of them inside you (metaphorically... I think he knows how that sounds). Cleopatra would say the difference is the places they hold in your life and that many kinds of love can't be pinned down. Sarah believes any kind of love is an obligation.

27. What causes them to feel dread? Pierce: when people fall out of love with him. Cleopatra: the sense of being worthless, helpless or purposeless. Sarah: she'd be the last to say so, but she has a fear for anything that cause her physical or emotional harm.

30. Who do they most regret meeting? Pierce can't really wrap his little brain around regret, but he does have many of them. Deep down, he regrets meeting the vampire who made him a vampire. Sarah and Cleopatra both regret meeting Pierce at some point.

A. Are you excited about your oc(s)? Yes. I write about them every day. They don't always give me an easy time, but I love it.

B. What inspired you to create them? Pierce was originally just a happy vampire, but then I started basing him on Dorian Gray, and then I realised that he has a lot of me in him. Cleopatra has a lot of my own traits. Sarah was based on the actress Sarah Bernhardt in the beginning, but now she's a completely different character and only her name, appearances and sass are the same.

D. Have their physical appearance changed? Pierce was once tall. It gave me a shock to read my description of his tallness in earlier drafts. Sarah's dress and hair changed when I changed her backstory. Cleopatra is unchanged, except that I decided that her hair isn't naturally ginger.

If you've come so far, thank you for reading all this! And I wish you and your family a happy New Year as well, all the best with everything!
