When I say I'm leaving you an inheritance of vampire jewellery, this is what I mean
Feed your vampire before you... frappé... them
Don't like frappuchinos? Have a juice box
I have also made fang rings, bat earrings, and a muscle bunny armour pendant. Oh, can't forget the nosferatu bag. I think being subtle about my preferences might not be my strong suit.
Yes, very convincing, Cherik. Oh well, he tried. And hey, it worked! Apologies for messing with Kerik again, it's this or put him in prison, sooo...
Anyway, new reaction picture?
All POTO cats here! Prompts from this list still welcome!
*sneaks in* Pssst, a-are you still interested in drawing prompts for that game?
If so,may I request any Erik of your choice, as well as little kid Pierce for 11?
Alternatively an OC of your choice for 15
Anyways,I hope you are well!!! Sending you good vibes and much love and admiration always!!!🥰💖💖💖💖
(No worries if you don't get to,or don't want to do this ask btw.)
I love your silly goober kitties so much💖💖💖💖
Hi, thank you for the ask and kind words! 💖💖
Prompt 11, OC at age 5. Here's Pierce at ages 5, 15, and 25:
Kiddie Pierce (though Pierce was not his name back then) had a nice, spoiled childhood, he only looks like that because they wouldn't let him hold his favourite rat while posing for his portrait - children often had long hair in his time, like this painting of Winston Churchill.
In his teens, Oscar Wilde had long hair, so so did he. Maybe we can convince him to wear his hair long again, at age 150.
25 was the year he became the vampire Pierce.
I swear I'll return for the rest of the prompts! I really want to draw Phantom cats again, but my brain won't leave me alone right now.
Send me prompts from this list!
Aggressive, gothic-scenery music is what's keeping me going right now.
Have a London after Midnight cat whacking at you with a guitar. It's part of a drawing collage I failed to finish, but funnily enough, now that I'm in a bad mood, I want to pick it up again. Do you want to see the whole thing?
I've been hyperfixating on a crafting project for three days now, and my brain is bent out of shape, I hope I can get back to normal tomorrow, we shall see if the fixation gremlins let me out of the dungeon
Voilà, lots of sillies and... other things. If you wish me to elaborate, let me know 🤣
@vladimirsangel @blackforrestpunk @whyisthereacentaur @blackghostm2o @nalesnik-z-morela @ruvyn29 @greenfinchwriter No pressure tags, if like me you hesitate to post photos because you live in a gremlin nest and can't take any pictures without getting photo bombed by A) rubbish or B) demons, never mind!
First 3 photos are from past posts: Blood Box Bandits, Pharoga Kitty Kisses, Camp Vamp.

The last couple of days have been quite shite, so let's dress up and mess up a vampire. Perfect timing @vladimirsangel to request "Edgy Outfit." (Can you tell that neither of us knows what edgy means?)
Pierce, being Edwardian, thinks the second shirt means "happy and here to murder," and the third one, "I have a nice shirt."
(To clarify, Pierce is pansexual and should not be allowed to go clothes shopping unsupervised)
His friend and partners are supportive as always
For nonsense like this, send me a prompt from this list!
A vampire t-shirt I'm working on. The transfer paper won't unstick, so I've got to slowly scrub it off, but I managed to save Mr Pierce here.
Two tomato nosferatus are currently being excavated. They're mildly horrified.
I can't put the print in my shops because most of it is cheeky screenshots from Pinterest, but I'll post the results when I manage to salvage it
10. Pierce.
Ehehehehe have fun 😈
This is what we mean when we say our braincells added up only makes us worse, isn't it
Prompt 10: kiss with their lover. You didn't specify which one 😈
None-cat:
That's technically his ex, but I don't think he differentiates very well anyway. (I'm sorry, Pierce, my last braincell died, I didn't mean to randomly roast you.)
Ask or comment a number from this prompt list to get nonsense like this
Pharoga kisses, requested by @ruvyn29
Listen, I have something very wholesome and sad planned. I do. But in the meantime -
The first one is called "Where's Erik?" The second one I'd rather not explain.
(Shoutout to the Cheriks, I couldn't bear to crop them out)
Prompt number 10: Kisses from this list - comment or send asks with a number if you want unhinged content like this.
More pharoga cats here! Less specific POTO stuff here.
Tiny Erik is here to say cheers to you!
His hat looks CURSED off-camera, so I gave him some juice (it's Lego, and I can't say how much I love that piece). He still looks a little frightened and brain-off, as Aiden says, but I think he's buzzing inside about so many good stories about him!
Konrad and I have just proofread chapter 29 of the webcomic. I'm so incredibly happy that I've covered the next 10 months with enough comic chapters.
My visit at the doctor today was pretty sobering. Tomorrow I'm going to see another doctor for other problems.
Due to my state of health, it took me about 4 weeks to draw chapter 29. I'm currently putting off the next 3 bonus chapters. No energy for storyboarding.
But I am soooo happy. Chapters 16, 17 and 18 are already prepared in Tapas. I can't wait to read what you have to say. 😍✨✨✨
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... 👀
All POTO cats here!
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
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

Original drawing
Hellooooo! Send a number in my asks for this drawing challenge I found!
As a treat, you get to say which character you want to see: POTO cats, any of the ones in my MultiPhantomverse, or my OC crew like Pierce.
If you people muddle around like the last time I asked your opinion, I'm joining Raoul in the chair-throwing club 🪑💨
BUT if you've got interesting templates/prompts to send me, don't hesitate, I'll take them!!
What are your "Oh no, if people I know read this, they'll be concerned," writing projects?
I don't often talk about these original characters, Lolly and Stephen Wargrave, since their story is quite twisted and hard to make into funny posts. Well, I had the urge to cattify them today, and it's sort of funny, so here they are.
These gory weirdos are brainrotting me now, so maybe I'll blab about them again soon.
New headgear for the cats!
@blackforrestpunk Cat Aiden looks absolutely smashing, whereas Cat Me looks unintentionally Emo (serves me right for thinking I can follow a tutorial). @vladimirsangel Cat Vlad gets a cryptid hat so he won't feel left out.
Bulking up the one braincell tag, maybe we'll get more braincells that way (nah)
Gremlin Cat Erik returns with his ducky swimmers! It should be a tag now, I've drawn them at least three times already
More Pharoga cats here, all POTO cats stuff here
Have your favourite character drawn as a cat! Showcase their best quotes and silly moments. Example is BBC's Purrlock and his shenanigans, which OC or best goober do you want to see cattified?
(Purrlock put that sheet back on this instant)
Commission here on Ko-fi!
You people got to be kidding me. @vladimirsangel , my vampire friend, do you think it counts if I fistbump you?
ANYWAY, we're doing the 2nd most voted one. Send prompts and meme templates to my askbox! Like these:
Of course, if you have better ideas, go crazy!
The Daroga and Raoul in the Torture Chamber:
Wireless drinking
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
Guess what suckers, my application to be the lady lead in a novel has been rejected again. Maybe because I tormented the gentleman lead for wearing a dark t-shirt and jeans.
What do you mean the best I could hope for is an Armani suit?
Villain arc it is, then.
(In all seriousness, I have nothing against people who dress like this. What gets on my nerves is that there is only one type of "attractive" on the fiction market. It's true, "don't like don't read," but I'm having a hard time finding writing I do like because they're all copycats of each other - yet they all try to frame those leads as "special," "The One," "the Exception," "he's not just A Guy" - actual phrasing I've seen in an actual publication - and it just gets tiring and puts me in a sarcastic mood.)
You'll tell them, Pierce. Show them those, um, ballet flats.
Merik, put that down. You know Cherik is one second away from throwing that timer at you. You're all banned. (THANK YOU for doing this!)
A special episode of the Phantoms House sitcom!
A trade/ collab with the fantastic @purrlockswatson <333 (ily)
Our boys tend to fight A LOT, so Cherik (who’s really good at cooking and basically the chef of the house) had the unfortunate idea of proposing cooking together as a bonding activity…
It was supposed to be something simple… But things did not go very well…
After all this mayhem he has banned the other Eriks from the kitchen, if they want to cook they have to ask direct permission to him and show him a recipe and a detailed plan on how they are going to cook said thing (or beg him to cook, like Gerik usually does)
The Kitten is absolutely smitten!
(Text in ALT because my handwriting is not... writing)
The ✨️wrist thing✨️:
You captured this dummy drama vampire perfectly! 🦇🎀 Kudos to drawing two very fine hands, I was struggling with mine, haha!
Art trade with @purrlockswatson! Their original vampire character, London Pierce ♡
He's just a cutie, disaster kitten
WHAT DID I SAY? What did I say?
Original posts: Nosferatu here and Lescat here.
Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!
For some reason, I was convinced PoTP was set in outer space. Star Trek meets Phantom of the Opera, if you will. ⚠️Mild spoilers afoot⚠️
In a way, I'm glad I was ridiculously mistaken. I felt the full shocking impact of a rockstar-biopic-style narrative turned '70s Faust fever dream. The rooftop scene was like waking up in a nightmare: the metaphor coming horribly to life.
Winslow is a great Erik/Phantom incarnation. As a writer, I'm in sympathy with him for being unable to realise his masterpiece because it's "too long" and the entertainment world doesn't care. And horrible adaptations ARE enough to drive one to notoriety, you go, Winslow. Terrible tragedy that he wasn't allowed access to Erik's gunpowder stash, he deserved it.
Beef is probably the most dramatic La Carlotta parallel to exist, and that's saying something. What in the Santa-looking heck was he wearing as a coat during his "I'm outta here" scene? Somebody Super Like You is absolutely delightful - until he started performing, that is.
Phoenix has a stunning voice and a certain something that just screams superstar.
I'm less impressed by Swan. I'm not acquainted to Paul Williams' works, so I'm speaking solely without context about his background. Personally, I don't think he has the devilish, vampiric quality I'd have liked to see in that role. That's the only letdown in the film, honestly.
Rambles about other POTO adaptations here!
Pierce, pre-vampire turning, had many vices. Repressed memories, drowned in naïvety and substance abuse, is the darker side to his story.
However, in this latest short and silly (by my standards, at least) chapter, he's all chaos kitten, enjoy it while you can!

Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!
THIS!
It's hilarious! It has the Daroga! And it has the best characterisation of Christine I've see so far! Ramble tomorrow, my brain is on strike today.
