seems like birthday boy's reserved a seat just for you 👀

[daisyswift3]

So now she’s wearing a bright pink dress for the folkmore era after wearing a bright yellow one yesterday 👀 I think it’s very interesting how she originally wore more muted colors for these eras (save for maybe the yellow evermore dress) but now it’s in screaming color

[fandomsoda]

Sooo turns out Color and Nightmare both had ideas for Killer’s birthday and this has led to. A bit of a divide.

Happy birthday to this hot mess of a man /aff

anyway! Two outcomes! Pick your ending, or imagine both happened if you don’t want to choose :3

lmao

babe, I walk around in dresses, I walk around in t-shirts and baggy jeans from the men's section, I walk around in hoodies and sweatpants, you think I care if I "pass" as any gender? I go with whatever pronouns people assume when they first interact with me, are you trying to insult me by saying I'm not masculine enough to pass as a man? that's literally what I fucking want 😂

5/10 thanks for the fucking 4chan slur, idiot

Dali's "The Persistence of Memory".

I'll be honest, this one is a tough one for me.

Usually I enjoy droopy goopy aspects in works. I do love the tones and colors. I love the implications of decay here with the clocks melting, the figure in the middle, the ants on the orange clock (?). I do love some swarming bugs in art. They thread the needle on grotesque and alluring for me.

However this one just feels so bland in all of these aspects for me. Simultaneously there is too much and too little going on. The edges of the figures are far too sharp for me too despite how they melt. Also the middle figure just vexes me too much, an un-erotic sort of bafflement.

0/10, not for me. I think it's just too pervasive culturally. I've seen it on too many classroom walls.

However!

Do you know about the Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory?

Despite sharing many similar qualities, I must prefer this one! The way everything falls apart, reality crumbling around us. The familiar is made something new. Melting clocks slip below the ground that fractures apart. And it does not fracture as we expect solid stone to, but instead in bricks! The dead fish too! The organic loo the figure in the middle now takes, semi-translucent.

Still, explanation evades me, but I like it a great deal more. 5/10

Wed to the Lich (Arranged Monster Mates #8) by Layla Fae

Okay, I went into this knowing this was not the first book in the series but it didn't seem that the series may be required to be read in order as it is a collab series between Layla Fae, Eden Ember, and Cara Wylde and it wasn't recommended to be read in order - however, now having finished this I realize I may need to start from book 1 to assuage some issues I had regarding world building info. Also... that lich is just so hot... I needed to know more about him when he was what drew me to this. Which brings me to the covers!! The entire series has amazing cover art, it ranks right up there with SJ Sander's cover art that I love.

This is currently a series of 16 novellas between the above-mentioned authors, Wed to the Lich being dead in the middle at #8. It was a total of 208 pages and I read it within a quick day at work. It was a simple story which does involve triggers involving anorexia nervosa, past abuse, and animal death.

Basically, this is a world in which an event called The Shift has occurred, and from what was explained in this book alone it sounds like that was basically the... dimensional overlap of the human world and monster world where parts of the monster world ended up being transplanted into the world we know? Hopefully that is some semblance of correct as it's how I understood it. In this world, monsters rule over humans in most areas and if a human is wanting to get some cash for their family or, if you're our FL May, trying to get out of a bad situation you can sign up at the Temple and get married off to a monster.

This is exactly what May commits to as she decides to escape the abusive orphanage director who haunts her thoughts when it comes to beauty and its relation to her size and food consumption. How well this goes about depicting the troubles that come with experiencing an eating disorder I could not say, so I will leave that up to your interpretation if you choose to read. May gets married to Virgil, the all fearing Lich who can suck out your life force with just a look.

The following story revolves around May's struggle with food, her inner demons, and being beautiful for Virgil who is also struggling with how May views him and fearing that one day she may come to fear him and try to leave. In the end, they end up working out their troubles with each other's help and are a lovely couple, no matter what those town villagers think. I liked both May and Virgil's characters, he was really checking the marks for me as both loving and caring but strict and forceful when he felt necessary. By the end, May had come into who she was as a person when she wasn't tormented by her past.

My main issue comes from how I felt finishing the book. I had read 208 pages of what essentially felt like it had amounted to nothing. Unfortunately, for all that happened, there wasn't enough deep diving into characters, relationships, or true plot that it felt worthwhile. It was one of those where I was shocked it was so long for how much I got from it. I think it's a really cool story, I love a Lich, and I love a FL battling her inner demons and unafraid to seek help from another in order to do so. The way May was willing to just be blunt about what was going on versus other characters who might hide things that lead to a (beloved but sometimes overdone) miscommunication was rather refreshing.

I think I would have really enjoyed this story had it been more fleshed out. The writing was good, but the content felt unsubstantial. For all of that, I'll give it a 5/10. Mid but enjoyable and full of potential.

Would I read again? No, but not because it was bad. Just because there wouldn't feel like a point.

Would I recommend? Yeah, I am gonna go and try out the series from the first book - Wed to the Ice Giant also by Layla Fae - and then pry check out at least on book by each of the other authors. If I don't like it - you'll hear about it :)

The Devil Bat (1940)

The kind of movie that requires a very specific audience. If you want to see Bela Lugosi in a contrived revenge murder plot involving aftershave and a scientifically giant bat, this is the movie for you. However, if you don’t like fun I’m sure you can google “Elevated horror” and watch whatever drivel comes up.

5/10

[monster-every-day]

ok so this one requires a bit of context.

so, i had a dream where there was a new art trend on the internet.

basically, people would draw a chick and a fish, and caption it "that's chick and that's fish." because those are their names. but you had to draw them like this.

chick had to be a circle with two little stick legs, and fish had to be a circle with a triangle for a tail. you could not draw them any other way.

this does not leave a lot of room for variation or artist interpretation. but for some reason this went absolutely viral. everyone was drawing fish and chick.

so in that dream i decided to join in the trend, and make fish and chick my monsters for two days. i posted one monster called "that's chick", and then the next day i reblogged it with the next monster, named "that's fish".

so!

day 131 - 5/10/24 - that's chick and that's fish

Disgusting genocide supporter. You really can't go one year doing something so easy as not watching an event in the face of mass genocide. Fucking pathetic. Is your entertainment worth dead children? How many lives for a song?

did you really see a post saying "hey guys you know all flags are banned and not everyone is out to get you right?" and decided it means I support genocide, fuck off.

I never and will never watch Eurovision, Idk if it gets cancelled forever because you dickheads don't know to separate citizens from government and wish to boycott Israelis until they cease to exist, but at least don't lie to pull more people to your fucking cult.

I'm sure not letting Israelis sing a silly song at a silly event will free Palestine, the only message you're sending is that Israel is not allowed to exist peacefully in any way shape or form until your idea of justice is served.
