Not Usually My Thing But Lord Knows... Lord Knows... We Could All Use A Little Bagel Right Now

Yes the OP had a pithy message but I've got a one-track mind rn:

I know there are people who don't think Brad Dourif is hot, but I've only talked to one and their resolve crumbled in the face of the Istanbul (1985) car scene

There are lots more Pretty Moments in there, but Istanbul (1985) car scene is burned into my brain matter like the indelible brand of Cain

no one is immune.

(btw this movie is very upsetting please watch at your own risk)

There was this guy in the 1800s - I can't remember his name, but his name is recorded somewhere - who honestly argued that if given the choice between a beautiful woman and a heron, deep down in their most earnest true heart, every man would rather fuck the heron. And he got mad when people denied this, continuing to deny this what he had decided must be an universal truth, instead of praising him for being the only one who was brave enough to finally say it out loud. Like he really thought that every single person telling him "Jesse what the hell are you talking about" was not only denying him, but denying themselves their true desires and perpetuating the apparently massive cultural lie that herons aren't fuckable.

Anyway what I'm saying here is that every once in a while whenever you find yourself in a situation where nobody else is willing to agree with something that you consider the most obvious truth, take a moment to meditate on the possibility that perhaps they do mean what they say, and perhaps they are right. Maybe nobody else but you wants to fuck the heron.

happy 129th birthday pookie 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🥳🥳

love too queue up some new derangement at 2am and then guess whether i'll get any sleep before it goes out 😩👌

brad dourif fanarts by humanpincushion

When I was first scrounging around for Bradthirst material, I came across these pieces by @anonmarleighdourif (humanpincushion on DeviantArt). They have an incredible talent for capturing his likeness, especially the eyes.

So lush, these are a huge inspiration for me. I just want to stare at them all day long.

brad dourif character smut fics?

so my brad dourif fixation got eaten by other stuff in late 2024, but i'd already written a bunch of ~smutty stories~ featuring various of his characters (including this cypress edge one).

sometime soon, i'm planning to edit and release the one that retcons martin klamski into something... much more useful >:]

don't forget there's a cozy little corner of AO3 with some tasty gríma and jack dante content by other writers!

Linoleum cut print of Starbug!

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with this show recently and decided to try something new and make a linoleum cut of the bug!

Brad Dourif as Seymour Bourne | Rage of Angels: The Story Continues (1986)

i love doing apologism for fictional characters. yes he killed people and ruined everything but thats ok bc i like him and hes my little baby. so who cares

i've been making a lot of bad art lately which is one of the world's most healing activities but if you have perfectionist tendencies you really have to commit to volume (if you make ONE bad painting it's just a bad painting whereas if you make 20 it's a meditative practice!). unfortunately we live in a one bedroom apartment and now we have to commit a significant portion of our storage to bad paintings. i would recycle them but unfortunately i need spare bad paintings to weave together into bad papercraft!!

anyway so i decided to move my bad artmaking into a new, smaller sphere and make bad linocuts. and let me tell you. if you are trying to get past thinking "my art should be good," linocut is a wonderful teacher. everything can be going great and then you exert slightly too much palm pressure and WHOOPS! sliced the face off. luckily the craft is so niche that negative self-talk can't really stick to it. i'll think something like "everybody else's linocuts are perfect. nobody else fucked up their linocut of a hot lady sphinx." and this is such a patently bananas sentence that i can simply laugh fondly at it and continue hacking away at my little rubber square. recommend

I modified my Reverend Daughter piece into a tapestry design 🖤 I’ll unveil these at Kami-Con next weekend, as well as in my shop later this month
