And I’ve never loved a vampire before… so that’s a coincidence. 🤔🫠
Love this post ❤️
"I have never played a vampire before."
Matthew goes on talking about Dracula, the most famous vamp.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Fast forward a few years, Matthew has portrayed not one but two vampires, one of which is the iconic Count Dracula in Abigail! Never say never 😁

Thank you for reading ❤️🙃 It completely lacks coherence - ‘random moments of disjointed daydreaming’ might be a better description of it. But it’s the process of writing that’s fun and valuable in terms of escapism, so I’m ok with a flawed product. Same with the edits and drawings. For me, Lazar is the perfect escape… as might be a teeny bit obvious? ❤️🧛😉

Visit from a vampire scribbles - 🧛✏️🖤 using Procreate.
Yes to absolutely all of these ideas. Especially Lazaar v Frank, which I also often have on the brain 👌 That would be a whoooole lot of fun 🫠
Whose your favorite Comfort character in Abigail? And why?
Joey! I just love that she’s so smart (and bloomin’ beautiful) and skilled and funny but also flawed. I find her relationship with Abigail fascinating and confusing and can never 100% work it out. I’m always pondering the fact she was spared by both Abigail and Lazaar. What weird vampire code of conduct is this?! I love her final WTF line in the film and the way Melissa Barrera delivers it and I think about that a lot. I wonder what on earth she did next after driving away (and will always hope there’s a sequel and she’s a vampire). And - of course - I love the idea of Lazaar falling for Joey… even though that doesn’t actually happen in the film (it really does in my mind 😂). She’s a comfort character for me because there are so many things to wonder about her and I think Melissa Barrera absolutely smashed her portrayal. Soooo, not a very original answer from me, I’m afraid. How about you?

Carl should be thinking about the case but instead, he’s daydreaming about his therapist. 👌
I just can’t get you out of my head.

(Boy, your lovin’ is all I think about.)

🧛🖤🥀 Lazaar and Joey photo faffing 🥀❤️🧛♀️

Here is the version Joey keeps in her scrapbook (and yes of course she keeps a scrapbook):
And this one (below) ended up looking like some creepy/weird/ironic/macabre couple’s photoshoot, so I’m including it for amusement purposes 😂 Lazaar should be holding a rose or something. Maybe I’ll do that later. Maybe they’ll get it framed… in my mind 🖼️.
⬆️ and some roses, dying obligingly on my table right now 🥀😅
Photo editing. Just for fun. The vampire is in the bath. Because… why not? 🛁
📷 Original images from Pinterest; faffed around with for Lazar vibes using Procreate ✍️ The next chapter of the Visitor (featuring a bath) will be up shortly 🧛

There’s a chapter about this on AO3. I’m not sure it really fits but I just wanted to write it, so there you go. (Trying to focus on the fun of the process, rather than overthink the finished product. After all, it’s all just for fun.)
This song, which I found afterwards, is perfect for the mood I was getting at. Lazaar certainly ‘slithered here from Eden’. What a sin indeed. Thank you, Hozier.
