Today, I worked on my most disturbing writing project that, if illustrated, should look like this:

And then I walked past a mirror and realised that, I kid you not, I looked like this:

Fudging reindeer Christmas pyjama bottoms...

I should rebrand myself before people decide I'm the "last person you'd suspect"-type horror movie villain.

"You can take me hot to go!"

If I have adorableness, you get adorableness. If I get brainrot, well, so do you! Je suis désolée.

All phantom cat stuff here!

If a pole dancing vampire isn't what you wanted to see today, you know better now, yes?

My vampire Pierce knows how to pole dance. I'm not sure what to do with that information, but it's there. He did ballet, that's actually plot relevant, but this... Well, he's having fun.

(I have a lot of less unhinged WIPs on the way, but I'm low on vivacity right now, I need to drink blood)

Valentine's day cat card 💝

A card I drew as an example for my cat greeting card comms on Ko-fi!

You can commission a custom card like this:

💘Use the discount code 221B to get 21% off ALL commissions before the end of February!💘

I have one word for this.

NO. hell, NO.

I can't deal with this shite, am I cursed? Is this a cosmic joke? A book I love with my soul mashed with a book I hate with a burning passion?

I damn well hope that's just a marketing scheme and not what they're actually doing. But I dont have high hopes.

I'm so sorry Erik, you deserved better than Edward fudging Cullen okay I'm losing my capacity to treat this tastefully goodbye

(Article here)

I used to be mad that my star sign's ruling planet is Jupiter because the god Jupiter is a bit of a cur, but LOOK! I made little stimming paws when I saw this!!

(Side note, no, Meta, I'm not using the fudging app, you sneaky little fopdoodle.)

(Reaction image is BBC Purrlock)

(Oh wait, I've actually drawn Jupiter/Zeus as a cat!!)

VLAD, Orlok has to be one of the least hygienic beings on the planet, anything he endorsed is a menace to the public health. And nefarious braincell usage is ON. I'm imagining the tapioca is actually rat droppings, and now you all have to deal with that, too.

(Congratulations on drawing three humans à la fois, I had a crisis and went on a mad cat drawing spree when drawing mine)

Braincell has come full circle, everyone gets their favourite drink, and enough of it (poor Aiden, but at least yours is identifiable liquid!) Aiden's art and mine.

OK, @blackforrestpunk and @purrlockswatson . I got there in the end.

Aiden, sorry there probably isn't enough coffee.

Amanda, enjoy your Count Orlok endorsed boba tea.

Erik live reaction:

Thank you so much for doing this - and so fast! I tip my hat to you!

And I am simply delighted that you hear Lerik in this song too, it's his song, poor, unhappy "I just want to be like everybody else" Erik.

Will Wood + PoTO is one of my favourite things. I have a comic and the bare bones of an animatic.

Love me normally – Will Wood

@purrlockswatson request

This song is so Lerik coded omg

Ask this sneaky vampire cookie. And his colleagues.

More Phantom of the Opera Cats here and here!

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.

HISTORICAL REFERENCE IN A CHRISTINE DESIGN AAHHHH -

I'm treating this rationally. I am. Honest.

(Original meme by @blackforrestpunk )

@forever-and-whats-left ,a Christine Daaé for you. I hope she fits the bill. I gave her an earring and some hair accessories based on some pictures of Christine Nilsson, widely believed to have been an inspiration for Gaston Leroux.

Thanks for the tag @achildsfirstsorrow @frommarshtheycome and @angel-with-paper-wings , I'm honoured!

Last song: "A Milion Gruesome Ways to Die"

Favourite colour: I grew up among Plantone books and paper samples, there's no way I can choose ONE, my inner amateur graphic designer will curse me.

Current obsession: Drawing things that make me anxious into as silly vampurr comics

Looking forward to: Like ACFS, I'm waiting for Del Toro's Frankenstein, finishing my vampurr book, posting my writing (at last), and menacing my friends when they wake up.

I think we've gotten into the PoTO artists' end of Tumblr, so we're probably double-tagging like mad, but I'll do it anyway. @leader-of-grandys @blackghostm2o @wowyzowy3 @lokislynx @windforkthewriter @thedrawingduke @v-jack-v @vladimirsangel @blackforrestpunk (I already know you two but there's always "better")

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.

It's a bit early for Valentine's, but it's never too early for ✨️miscommunication✨️

This happened during Erik's monologue to the Daroga after he dragged him off the boat. I maintain that we don't know what Erik was wearing when in Siren Mode, so it COULD have been duck swimming trunks.

Pharoga cats are back! More of them here and all PoTO cats here! (Spot more Erik in ducky swimmers)

@blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel ! I drew so many cat comics that they'll need a whole new post. Oh, and there's me:

Vlad, you win Design Choice Headache Award, combats and plaids are no joke to draw. Aiden, gold star fashion choice.

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.

I forget my notebook in desk drawers with worrying frequency. If someone was to pick it up, I think THEY would also be rather worried too. Because it's either full of long essays from the void of my soul, or Mondays fit for sitcoms:

Or stuff like this:

I think you people may recognise some of these:

And there's also this:

(Auditory overload from people blabbering. I give people basilisk stares for talking near me)

I WILL BE BACK WITH ACTUAL DRAWINGS SOON, I SWEAR, JUST LET ME GATHER MY BRAIN CELL PIECES.

More POTO cats here and Van Helsing cats here.

Skoodles I did for a possible vampurr self-help book. Working title is "Vampurr's guide to Unlife." I skip between projects like a Mexican jumping bean and, well, this is the newest one!

Help me name the vampurr master in the cape (the lackey in the background is Zaida). Now I'm calling him Count Vladipurr von McFangs, which works for him, I guess - he's the same lil guy from this vampurr initiation test comic here

2,500 "Yikes!" from me because I have no idea what just happened.

This started out as a replacement for my old account because it was glitching. When that was fixed, this one became my nonsense blog. Then SOMEHOW, SOME PEOPLE (who shall not be named but I'm sure you're all laughing now) pulled it along until it turned into a Phanart gallery.

Now, there are around 130 people here. Weeeell. I hope those who are here for Phantoms won't be bothered by the occasional shenanigans!

(This post has been in my drafts for ages - I haven't drawn anything new right now, so may as well drag this old codger out!)

For someone who claims to be a vampire, I react very badly to getting my blood sample taken. Once, I looked so horrified that the nurse was afraid I'd faint and gave me a juice box.

So when I was editing this story just now, I was squirming in my seat. (This is not the worst scene. The other one is a spoiler, so wait a few weeks - if you actually want to suffer through it, that is, and if I actually stick to my plan). That probably means I've done my job well, but WHY did I do this to myself?

Content warning: blood, needles, mild body horror, strangulation, decapitation, Sarah being Sarah and enjoying the gore a bit too much

Feel free to tell me what you think, I'm not holding a sword. Or a needle.

Thank you @windforkthewriter for sending a 💀 in my asks for an excerpt!

i had a dream last night that i was being serenaded by count orlok as a small fluffy cat and i woke up both confused and really amused

then i realized why i had such a dream: YOU (/positive)

In dreams they came!!

Aahh that's adorable, thank you for telling me this, it made me smile!!

All Phantom of the Opera cats here and Nosferatu stuff here!!

Love Never Dies, we have beef!

This was... painful. But I think I can ramble without roasting. As always, if you're a fan, don't read, because I'm still serving beef!

I first watched it, I was so bored I had to play it on 1.25× speed. Nothing seemed to be happening even as every new thing wrecked my faith in the creators' intelligence a little more.

"The Beauty Underneath" had unbelievable visuals. People in fish tanks horrify me. In a good way. But when the Phantom decided to yeet his mask like that, I wanted to reach through the screen and shake him. Mate, the kid doesn't hate you. He just got randomly jumpscared. Of course he ran away.

I loved Ramin's sassy Phantom in "Devil Takes the Hindmost," but the premise of the song is so bad it deserves a whole roast post.

All this could be a problem of my personal taste in music and storytelling. But I can't forgive how thoroughly they destroyed Phantom's character. In Ramin's version, Mme Giry was roasting him to his face, and he didn't pull out the lasso? Met Raoul drunk in an empty bar and didn't drop him off a pier and make it look like an accident?

Look, we all love "poor unhappy Erik," but Phantom does not have a heart of gold. No, he's not a monster, but he's not a hero either.

Call me doomy and gloomy, but I don't believe that Phantom would give a hoot if Meg died. He definitely wouldn't show the compassion and repentance he did in that final scene.

The worst thing a PoTO story can do is to make it all about his appearance, which I feel LND did. The greatest reasons Phantom is doomed by the narrative is:

1. Society alienates him for his appearance.

2. How he acts because of his self-hatred, fueled by his alienation from society.

When the narrative puts too much weight on one or the other, it loses direction.

More POTO adaptation rambles here!

Finished a(nother) draft of my writing and looked down to see my gingerbread vampire looking back at me like this:

Mr Pierce... Mr Pierce, what have you done? What do you know? Why are you looking like me that?

Well. Unless this little doofus has better ideas, Tale One is complete - that is to say, it has a beginning and an end and a relatively coherent plot in between. That's a victory for me!

I have to delete so much stuff... too many long talking scenes about the meaning of life and such. I don't know how it happened, and I'm eager for it to un-happen.

I drew one too, but it is mildly cursed:

Live Aurik Reactions are always the best!! I'm doing no good for his poor vampire heart, bless him, menacing him with the biggest coquette vampire friend and pin-up postcards.

Never used my phone drawing app before, that went as well as can be expected!

Live Aurik Reaction to @purrlockswatson 's post.

Look, it's not his fault, he's had a very sheltered life (and unlife).

@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.

There goes the vampurr with her coffin full of necessities ⚰️

I'm going on a trip! I'll probably be logged off for four days, but there's shenanigans queued up, so you'll still technically hear from me.

Feel free to clog up my inbox, I will be very happy to wade through them when I get back.

Catch you later!

@blackforrestpunk made me do it.

(Enlarge image if you actually want to read it. Good luck, I have trouble with it myself)

Anyway, Aiden, why did you set a bad example by putting your height? I've been told I was tall all my life, and now I'm the smallest of the three of us (hi, Vlad). Got to invest in platform boots.

Am trying to trim down a monstrosity of a manuscript. In the meantime, enjoy some of my Best Writer Brainrot Moments.

BRIEFLY. I was trying to spell BRIEFLY.

More of my spelling mistakes here.

Little fluffy Nosferatu, Ankle-Biter Krysa Veinessa Thumb Whateley-Dickenson, is hankering down to watch the new Nosferatu film. Sadly, this photoshoot was before I knew of the existence of the sarcophagus popcorn bucket, so our traditional one will have to do!

I'm not sure if she can eat the popcorn, but she does like holding them.

(Thank you to @greenfinchwriter @takeiteasyonmeimstilllearning @thatbluevampire and @vladimirsangel for giving her her lovely names!)
