How's the writing going, you say?

I was typing out my novel on my phone, looked up, and saw this. To clarify, I meant satin-LINED cavity, describing a casket.

Well, I hit my head on a toilet water tank today, so I can't expect myself to act rationally.

The story is about a vampire opera house. I played with the idea of adding Erik into it, but I didn't expect him to pop up out of nowhere to give one of my characters a house tour.

I think he wants to kill the vampires now, and I don't know what to do. How little control I actually have over my writing never fails to surprise me.

(More gremlin sphynx cat Erik here, fancy hat cowboy Phantom here)

Goodness, what is going on?

Thanks @t4z-0n-p4wz for tagging me in an ask game!

1.Favourite band of all time: Goodness, I don't know any. Maybe "Concrete Blonde" or "Will Wood and the Tapeworms."

2.Scent I really like: A tiny bottle of Miss Dior someone gave me from Christmas. Or the sea. Or frying bacon. (Not all at the same time.)

3.If I were a crystal, what do I want to be? Honestly, I'd rather be a stone so deep in the earth's crust that nobody will dig me up. But Amethyst, because a family member gifted some to me at a stressful time for luck.

4.Team vampires or team werewolf:

VAMPIRES.

Thank you for specifying not Twilight. If that were the case, I'm team pest control.

5.Favourite animal print: Leopard. I have so much leopard print I can become a weirdly shaped leopard if need arises.

6.Strangest item of clothing I own: I don't have it yet, but I'm making a Nosferatu bag.

7.Baggy clothes or fitting: Style-wise, fitting.

8.Socks or no socks: socks, if I remember

9.Favourite Sanrio character? I'll say Cinnamon Roll, but with Kuromi's colour palette.

10.Favourite horror game: I don't know any! Recommendations?

I love Gerik the Cat and cat vampires that you have drawn! Could you draw Gerik as 12 — a supernatural being? He must be so cute with vampire fangs 💗

He's here! The vampurr of the opurra!

Gerik ticks all the vampire essentials except for the FANGS. He even has a Byronic shirt, and we all know Byron was the first model pretty vampire.

From this prompt list! Send in which items (and cats) you want to see! I already have two cat kisses in the wings... 👀

@vladimirsangel 's Innocent in needle felt

Please take good care of my book, Innocent, that's a first edition.

Ask Vlad before booping his snout: I can't guarantee your safety.

This is Innocent, a furry monster who - Oi, what are you doing? Give that back!

*Ahem* I'm still alive. Anyway, that's a needle felting needle. The red stuff on the end is NOT blood, although I did stab my fingers a few times and may have made some accidental blood sacrifices to the small woollen creature. Should I be worried?

(I've also made a sculpture of him)

They make each other worse - in a sweet way. Sarah is very, very done with their hijinks.

How to cheer up a vampire who deals with the pain of immortal existence by crying and bedrotting instead of binge-drinking (arterial blood) and building cults and evil empires.

Doomed by the narrative.

They doomed themselves and each other. They treated each other like monsters and believed themselves to be monsters.

The "monster or human" narrative is one of the central conflicts of the story. Were we made wrong, or did we lose our souls somewhere along the way? What happens when you believe you are a monster?

Before I worry anyone unduly, my well-being is, well, quite well. A reason I hesitate to post my writing is that I'm worried I'll make people concerned - yes, a lot of it is based on experience, but it's gothic fiction and I paint it darker than it is. Also, I have a gremlin in my brain that screams, "MAKE IT WEIRDER!" A weird imagination is the side effect of growing up feeding on novels, don't read too much into it.

Welp, I suppose we'll soon know just how weird it is, if I don't chicken out and actaully release the creepy lil creature into the internet.

ARGH.

Original posts: Nosferatu here and Lescat here.

Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!

Cleopatra (middle) makes her vampire partner Pierce (right) and his ex Alexander (left) watch Phantom of the Opera (1990).

To clarify, Pierce likes rats. In a completely normal way.

Vampurr to vampurr. I've seen people wearing antique Victorian gowns to cinemas to meet the Count, but I'm afraid I'm in my hoodie.

Computer is dead, brain is rotted. The mostly hinged Phanart I'd completed is unavailable, so have some unhinged Nosferatu.
