Good morrow!

Here, I get up to shenanigans with fellow artists, review and ramble, post my writing, crafts and PoTO art because reasons.

My main blogs:

Book/history blog: @purrlockholmesbooksblog

Main art blog: @purrlockholmesbooks

My Gothic literature fanfic Gothic Tales from Melancholia is on AO3

The illustrated t-shirt does exist.

What I welcome in my ask box:

-Art requests are always welcome! I mainly draw, but will also get (hand)crafty if you have good, or unhinged, ideas.

-Asks about drawings, writing, OCs and projects.

-Asks for opinions/reviews of books, films, etc. I love researching and jabbering about my findings.

-Personal questions that won't help any unsavoury individuals to find me in real life (i.e., by all means ask me about my existential crises, but not about my nationality).

February first was hourly comics day! As always, I'm late to the bandwagon.

That was my February second. To clarify, I didn't go to bed at 11 pm. I just ran out of space because I didn't realise until then I'd drawn 9 panels and not 12. My last braincell was not at home that day.

Aauughh, it'sforthehampsterthatI'mgonnabuy!

That one clip from Life on the Murder Scene keeps looping in my head, so here is My Chemical Hamsters.

I know I'm late to every party and fandom, but I come bearing silly lil guys

Phantom of the Opera (1925), what did you do to poor Erik?

The 5 stages of watching POTO 1925:

1. Beautiful set design. Mouth of Hell, giant skull for sitting on and decapitated head automaton -- peak Gothic atmosphere.

2. He's here! The Persian at last.

3. I want to live in this Erik's basement, that gondola-inspired bed is gorgeous.

4. Oh la vache, who let Erik drive?

5. THEY YEETED HIM INTO THE RIVER?

(Meme is originally Interview with the Vampurr Lestat's corpse yeet.)

I am not happy that they made this a 'monster film.' The greatest part of POTO is how it never denied Erik's crimes, but also never portrayed him as a mindless monster. But other than the ending, I did enjoy the film.

HOWEVER, now I'm in a mood and want to write a whole essay in complaint of the other silver screen adaption I've seen thus far, Phantom of the Opera (2004). That one I sometimes wish to roast with the heat of a burning opera house. See that and rambles about other adaptations here

Tried to think of something clever to say, but

Scrolling around in the morning, thought this was the drawing from You've got the Watches (with Raoul, Erik and Christine), then got the biggest jumpscare 🤣

I love this. It'll probably take me a few days to process. I've been in few group photos and this is so much better because it's me and my braincell friends! Will never not think about this.

I'm GOING to post mine, you're too fast, Aiden, ahaha (good luck, Vlad)

It started with this

And it ends with this

I forgot why, but someone told someone, that is us.

Soooo i guess it was @purrlockswatson cause she remembered me, to draw us in my style. She did it aswell, but actually didn't post it. Aaaand because we are sharing one braincell @vladimirsangel has no other choice, to do the same. Have fun Vlad, my frrrrrriend.

Hahahahaha good night.

@blackforrestpunk asked @vladimirsangel for a Dracula pinup. Who am I if not a provider of cursed things?

Don't let Aurik see this, please, I have no intention of horrifying him. Unless he wants it for his collection.

Monster pinups are a thing now. Oh yes, I still owe Vlad a Gossamer pinup. (Why is this my life now?) Grinch pinup here.

Thank you for the tag, Greenfinch! I'm sorry it took me so long, I have much difficulty choosing favourites. In no specific order:

Christine Daaé - Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux

Mina Harker - Dracula

Noemí Taboada - Mexican Gothic

Edith Sharpe - Crimson Peak (my Gothic is showing, isn't it)

Diana Bishop - All Souls Trilogy

Wednesday Addams

Mary Watson - Sherlock (until the showrunners used her as a plot point. I'm still massively disappointed about that.)

Bella Baxter - Poor Things (the 2023 film, I haven't got my paws on the book yet)

I'm feeling a lack of evil ladies in my list, and it feels too self-indulgent to throw my own crazy lady characters in, so I'm off to find some.

Open tag!

Thank for the tag @elvisqueso I love that you included Marissa Schurr because the side characters in Hannibal are everything <333 (also Rumiko Takahashi draws the most beautiful women 🙂‍↕️)

In honor of International Women's Day, list eight of your favorite fictional women from eight different fandoms, in no particular order.

Beverly Katz - Hannibal

Toph Beifong - ATLA

Dolores Abernathy - Westworld

Tara Thornton - True Blood

Dowager Countess of Grantham - Downton Abbey

Lucille Bluth - Arrested Development

Homura Akemi - Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Amy Dunne - Gone Girl

You know I just had to!!

01.     pockets.

02.     bag   /   purse.

05.     closet.

06.     bedside table drawer.

07.     medicine cabinet.

08.     wallet.

09.     “junk” drawer.

10.     pantry.

13.     to do list.

15.     bookcase.

Thank you for the ask!

1. Pockets. Pierce carried a little scent bottle of dirt because vampires need to rest in home soil, I like to think it's like a comfort object. Also, tiny rat cookies he probably forgot about. Sarah has her folding knife with 100 different tools in them, mostly pointy stabby things. Cat often doesn't have pockets because she wears impractical clothes.

2. Bag/purse. Pierce has a little chainmail rat purse. It's full of spare change and the odd antique gold coin. Sarah's is full of murdery things like travel-sized stakes and lipstick. Cat is unpredictable but totes food like a hamster.

5. Closet. Pierce has a lot of grey and white suits and fancy waistcoats. He also has many skeletons and straw hats, but we don't talk about those. Sarah has ball gowns, walking suits, and riding habits all in black. Cat describes her wardrobe as "if a hoard of goblins are set loose in an alt thrift store."

6. Bedside drawer. Pierce technically doesn't sleep in his bed, but he does lie there when his partners want him to, and he reads the novels he keeps in the drawer until they falls asleep and he can go around his nocturnal vampire business. Sarah keeps a crucifix, a revolver with silver bullets and another with regular ones, matches and magazines. Cat keeps candles, pen and paper, sweets and her ebook.

7. Medicine cabinet. Pierce and Sarah both keep brandy in their medicine cabinets like good Victorians. Cat has more modern amenities and chocolates for emergencies.

8. Wallet. I have the feeling Pierce is always losing his. Sarah, no-nonsense coins and the odd cheque. Cat's is stuffed with old receipts and always short on change.

9. Junk drawer. Pierce has a lot of half-written love letters and probably some hate mail he couldn't bring himself to burn. Sarah doesn't have one. Cat's whole flat is basically a junk drawer.

10. Pantry. Pierce and Cat live in the same house (he's her landlord) and Pierce isn't the kind of vampire to keep dead bodies around, so the pantry is full of Cat's doubtful food shopping choices. Sarah lives in a small flat with no pantry

13. To-do list. Pierce: Meet clients and kill people. Sarah: Meet clients and kill people and possibly go shopping. Cat doesn't have one because she is a chaos gremlin.

15. Bookcase. Pierce: Many Victorian banned and censored books, some vinyls, little statuettes, and old letters. Sarah: Old magazines and religious texts, very pompous but dusty, sometimes used for throwing at vampires in a pinch. Cat: enough candles to be a fire hazard, novels, huge art exhibition catalogues

This vampurr feels like she's just been sucker-punched with a potato sack of garlic.

2024 probably thought it was too good to me and HAD to go out with a Parthian shot. Well, at least I got to finish a good vampire podcast in one sitting. Happy New Year, people.
