Sanderstober 2024 Day 5!
I can’t art but I can do a writing prompt!
October 5: This one’s a play off a prompt from last year AND it’s a writing prompt! Take any famous character from a horror film, and create a nursery rhyme about them. You can make it completely innocent, or, like many nursery rhymes, remain dark but disguised in pretty language.
I did the 5 friends from The Cabin In The Woods movie and wrote it in the style of Edward Gorey’s macabre nursery rhymes—
That- that still counts right? 😅
Hope to do more writing prompts if any come up! 😁-Erin (aka earlgreymylove)

I can't find anything about Hamster Mortis in your archive but I'm a little intrigued? What exactly is this "book" because I'm a long time fan of your art but I'll be honest that some of it gets me a little bit squeamish and this sounds like something that could go either way but I'm fascinated by the title alone
For sure, I'll give you my elevator pitch.
Hamster Mortis is a short rhyming story that breaks down the five stages of decay, from fresh remains to dry bones, with the help of associated illustrations.
While the format borrows from children's books such as the works of Dr. Seuss, I would consider Hamster Mortis something for the ages 12 and up crowd, it is more similar in tone to the work of Edward Gorey and illustrations contained within do explicity show the titular hamster in full color in every step of the decay process, though caricatured for stylistic effect.
Hamster Mortis is currently in the print proofing process, I am waiting on a set of five physical editions to measure quality before committing to a larger scale print run (I hope to begin with fifty copies in the first run, so supplies will be limited at least at first)
Currently I have the PDF version available to read for a small fee. Final pricing on the physical books is to be determined.
If you can't handle watching an 80s horror movie like The Blob or The Thing, I will gently warn you that the more advanced stages of decay may be a little intense.

Intro Post!💀🦇🕸🕯
Hey there! Figured I'd finally make one of these in case anyone who stumbles on this blog wonders what it's all about.
As it says in my blog description, this is an online space where I can compile and organize imagery, info, and anything else that inspires me related to the novel I'm developing. At least that was the original motivation for making this, but I'm definitely wanting to post some original content surrounding the story and the characters in it soon! This imaginary world has been obsessing me for a few years now, and I'm honestly chomping at the bit to share it with others.
What you'll see on here:
Images related to: gothic lit, the regency period in Europe/Britain, the late 16th/early 17th century, some earlier 18th century, ancient and prehistoric cultures, paganism, the occult, witchcraft, fairies, folklore, the countryside/forests, autumn, Halloween, demons/devils, romantic fashion, screenshots and gifs from films, illustrations/other artists' art that inspires me, and any other random pic that speaks to me or that gives me an idea even vaguely related to the story.
Text posts relating to: all the same subjects above, plus quotes from poetry and literature, other stories that inspire me, and writing advice posts/memes.
Hopefully soon: posts introducing my characters and sharing concept art, ideas, research I've done, who knows what else??
***Content warning for some imagery that may be disturbing (as can be expected, I guess, from a horror aesthetic/theme).***
What the novel's about:
It's [going to be] a gothic/dark fantasy/folk horror/historical fiction novel set in regency Britain and centering around the concept of Halloween and its origins/meaning. Think Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell meets Over the Garden Wall. Kinda. Characters include a bratty aspiring sorcerer, a demonic changeling who wants to be human, a witch, a sin eater, and a handsome devil. Over the course of the plot the question of whether the spirit realm(s) and mortal world should be kept separate will be a source of conflict.
I've had some aspects of this story/characters in my head since I was 14, so it's super special to me!
About me:
I'm an artist, writer, and musician. This is my first time trying to write anything as involved as a novel. I'm having loads of fun with it, though. I love music and reading and history, particularly fashion history, and anything related to the supernatural. The title of my blog is a reference to a song by Echo & the Bunnymen (though I think it's actually an inaccurate lyric :P ).
Ficton books I've been reading lately: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles books, Edgar Allan Poe short stories
Nonfiction books I've been reading: The Devil and All His Works by Dennis Wheatley, Celtic Mythology by Philip Freeman, The Making of Victorian Values by Ben Wilson, Occult Features of Anarchism by Erica Lagalisse, Halloween by Lesley Pratt Bannatyne
Some musical artists I'm into recently: Cranes, Kate Bush, The The, The Smiths, Fiona Apple, Alex G, Caroline Polachek, Imogen Heap, Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget, Pinback, Steeleye Span, The Cleaners From Venus, Suzanne Vega, The Garden, Jessica Pratt
Visual Artists I've been thinking about lately: Edward Gorey, Aubrey Beardsley, Nicole Rodrigues, Francisco de Goya, Leonora Carrington, Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, Willam Blake, Edvard Munch, Harry Clarke
Some of my favorite films: The Witch, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, The Wicker Man (original), Meshes of the Afternoon, Days of Heaven, The Thief and the Cobbler, The Masque of the Red Death
Regardless of why you're here, I sincerely hope you enjoy browsing around, and feel free to say hi! :) I would love to link up with other writers on here and make some new pals. Also feel free to like this post and I'll give you a follow!
WIP INTRO POST

Charlie! Go Home!
This is my horror comic project, about a lost kitten named Charlie who goes to look for his Mum in a strange, haunted version of his home town. There are monsters, apparitions, traps and other horrors around every once familiar corner.
His only companion is a friendly traffic cone!
Main influences-
The Yomawari games, Little Miss Fortune, Detention
Manga and comics like Madoka Magika, Bearded Butterflies and Birds of Tin, Junji Ito, Be Very Afraid of Kanako Inuki
Retro classic British cartoons like Duckula, Jamie and the Magic Torch, Raggy Dolls, Dennis the Menace, Pigeon Street, Trap Door etc.
Illustrators like David McKee, Edward Gorey, Korky Paul, Gekidan Inu Curry, Junko Mizuno
With a heavy dose of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
Also here's a Pinterest board
I'm looking for any artists who have paying commission rates who wouldn't mind doing some more versions of Charlie! 😁
I'm not amazing at character design and I just need some other perspectives!
Thank you so much ❤️

Jeez, this entire drawn out convo is embarrassing and done to death. BL is romance. It's bound to the same romance tropes as MF and FF, id-driven as many of them are. If you don't like how a male character is written, that just means you don't like the story; move on. A lot of romance and horror both function on the premise of "romanticizing" and "fetishizing" things that wouldn't be desirable in real life. Yes, horror movies do portray murder as something fun for the audience. That's why people like slashers flicks from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. It even became a trend that people would watch the intro of the slasher to see which teenagers are the most annoying, so it's fun when Jason or Freddy or Michael Meyers, or whoever kills them gruesomely. That's why we love the Final Destination films! That's why we like Saw! It's why we like The Evil Dead! It's why we like Wrong Turn! It's why we like Scream! Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Child's Play, Halloween! They're tropey horror slashers with elaborate, gorey murder scenes that become such spectacles of themselves that by the end of the franchises, there's so much blood and viscera that the scenes are parodies of themselves. They're beloved all over the world. And people cheer for the murders in theaters! People love cheering for Freddy Krueger and Michael Meyers, and Jason when they disembowl some 15 year old who was probably just off drinking illegally with their friends. People love cheering for them so much, that there're are crossover films so we can cheer as they fight each other. These are such well-known tropes in horror that they've become cemented in popular culture, so movies like Cabin in the Woods are made. It's popular, extremely so, and I don't know how someone can go 20 years of life and not realize this. Just like how people like reading Twilight wherein Edward basically stalks Bella. Women don't want to be stalked in real life, but they like Edward because it's just a story. No one wants to date a man like Christian Gray in real life, but he's hot in a story. No one wants a guy like Ryouma Ichijou in real life, but it's fun in a tropey BL. The audience is supposed to like him because they want the main couple to get together. If it's not your thing, just don't watch it and move on to something else. The world will keep spinning.
And a lot of people like stories from the antagonists' perspective because it's interesting. This doesn't appear often in things made for children because it's for children, so it has some small responsibility of modeling behavior... because it's for kids. Things for adults don't have all these restrictions because as an adult, you should be able to judge right from wrong in real life, so you can just relax and watch Hannibal Lector abuse and manipulate Will in Hannibal without having an existential crisis about the moral fabric of society decaying. If you can't handle it, you should leave the training wheels on because genre fiction for adults will not always hold you hand--because you're an adult, and you should have common sense to know "murder/sexual assault/stalking/harassment/etc is bad in real life." Children below the ages of 4-5 aren't supposed to watch things like Spongebob for this same reason: they can't tell the difference. If you're an adult, you should be capable of that much, at least.
BL studies is an established academic field that discusses and examines BL across the world in different media forms: manga, manhwa, manhua, anime, donghua, live action, etc. from different countries. Read articles from professionals. Learn about BL and geicomi since apparently it also has to be reiterated that the characters in BL--yes, even the thin, waifs--look like straight men in East Asia. They're ikemen. There are different stereotypes of what queer men look like all over the world, wild concept, I know. The stereotype of what gay men look like in E. Asia are chubby bears, like plumbers, or super ripped men, like the body types typically featured in geicomi, the stories made by men for a male target audience.
Yes, many popular youtubers/breadtubers say convertly puritanical talking points in their videos. Few, if any, actually have media literacy. And few are actually transgressive or nuanced in their discussions of fiction or fandom. If they were, Google wouldn't promote them. You should try reading up more about radfem/TERF theory to recognize these talking points. Everyone who thinks these things isn't walking around around with a neon sign. You should know, since you actually share many of their harmful beliefs, but I doubt you'd call yourself a TERF or a radfem. Read Nancy Friday books like My Secret Garden to learn more about taboo sexual fantasies are how normal they are.
Read BL studies articles to actually learn history, read some Nancy Friday books to get over this weird projection of morality and kink in fantasy, and actually listen when people are correcting you because there's decades if not centuries of research refuting all your "points." No one is saying you have to like these stories for yourself, but you do have to realize the world doesn't revolve around you, and other people will always like different things and that's fine. These stories and discussions have always happened and they're fueled by misogyny and homophobia, as well as a desire for censorship. Read some Oscar Wilde essays too or even more recent BL manga/hwa/etc. BL anime doesn't get produced often because animation is expensive. It's 2023. Why are we pretending that Love Stage is representative of current trends in BL across different countries in different mediums, genres, magazines/publishers since Love Stage came out in the early 2000s?

Never have I ever written horror(?)
(Its spooky season, in looking for some new matserials haha)
-🌉
🎃 Never Have I Ever ... written a horror story, haha! 👻🍫🍭🍬💀(haven't read much horror fiction, unless you count Grimm's fairy tales and Edward Gorey.) (Does it count??😄) ty for ask!!
Oof, that's a hard one! Guess I would make an I Am Legend au with Sherlock as the sole survivor (or thinks he is) and runs into people (John & mayyybe Rosie) running from Zombies. His dog Redbeard getting sacrificed in the process. All set in London. For the joy of writing Piccadilly Circus into a fic.
Like to do the mannequin scene especially.
Not entirely sure I'd survive the writing. 😂☠️

Since you reblogged the “what is my art style trademark” post: Your art is very uniquely exaggerated, with the expression eyes and poses. Your art also reminds me a bit of those spooky themed fairytale books that I grew up reading, I could imagine your artwork in an illustrated Grimm’s fairytale adaptation. The way you shade, especially the face, is also very distinct as well, especially the way you shade the nose. Your art is very lovely and I’m always delighted when I see it on my dash
aw, thanks! I actually started doing my inking/shading technique as far back as high school, when I was really into Victorian literature. I got inspired by the inking techniques you see in a lot of 19th century illustrations. I was OBSESSED with Sweeney Todd then, and I think the original illustrations for “The String of Pearls,” the penny dreadful the musical was based on, really kicked this off. Here’s an illustration from the book, next to a high school drawing I did of Mrs. Lovett in the musical:
This is where I kind of picked up the shading technique of using a ton of really thin inked lines, which I still use today.
Exaggerated expressions are some of my favorite things to draw, and this comes from a few different inspirations. Obviously, I love German Expressionist art and films, but another influence, of all things, is Spongebob. The gag of grotesque extreme close-up shots disturbed and fascinated me as a kid, but as I got more into art, I became obsessed with the idea of getting that perfect expression to convey incredibly specific emotions, whether in a comedic or dramatic context. I love just getting really gritty into the details and intensifying shading around the eyes. Usually in a drawing like this, I’ll draw the eyes first once I have the basic guideline down, and build around it with shading. Eyes are my favorite part of character drawing- oftentimes, I want them to be the most striking part of a piece. And of course, I also love working with shape language.
Other big inspirations for me are Junji Ito, Jhonen Vasquez, Brett Helquist, and Edward Gorey. You can probably see Vasquez the most in how I do eyelashes- I like to give each character that has them a unique eyelash pattern or shape. Eyelashes are a great way to add characterization; there’s a lot of diversity you can get out of them- how many lashes are on the top, bottom, or sides of the eye, how long they are, what shape they are, etc-
I also want to point this out in my disney princess sketches; many of their eyelashes contain a nod to the character or emphasize their expressions. Snow White’s point up to emphasize cheerfulness, while Sleeping Beauty’s point down and are droopy. Moana’s are shaped like waves, Rapunzel’s like the rays of a sun, and Ariel’s like fish tails:
Anyway, thanks so much! I'm happy that you mentioned the Grimm's fairy tales; I've been thinking that I would love to illustrate a children's horror project, and I think that would be a great place to experiment! I actually have a book of them on my shelf, so maybe I'll read a few and try illustrating some :))))

Episode #709
Treehouse of Horror XXXII Season 33, Episode 2 | October 10, 2021
Welcome back to "the blog I refuse to proofread"
Opening: A parody Bambi with Bart as Bambi and Marge as Bambi's mother. This specifically spoofs the scene where Bambi's mother gets her head cut off with a chainsaw. In this version, Homer is a deer who gores the hunter, played by Mr. Burns. It's only edgy on it's surface level, but the satiric point is that Disney sometimes makes scary stuff for kids. It's a soft ribbing of their parent company at best.
Story #1: A parody of Parasite, which I never saw. This one's okay, but it's just not leftist enough! Rainier Wolfcastle is the rich guy's house. I really do think the Simpsons writers, who probably all own houses exactly like his, do sorta seem to have more of an interest in dunking on the working class. See, I wasn't even kidding when I said it wasn't leftist enough. YOU THOUGHT I WAS DOING IRONY, BUT I ACTUALLY FEEL THAT WAY AND BELIEVE THE STUFF I'M SAYING ABOUT THIS. AAAAUUUUUGHHHHH
Story #2: In the second story, Bart scares Lisa and Maggie with a spooky story on Halloween, causing them to interrupt Homer and Marge's love-making sessions. Homer sets his sights on the tree-house, and decides to chop down the tree in the backyard, citing it as the cause for his woes. Every year is the same thing, "three scary stories. Two of them good, with a lame one in the middle". Hey, I smiled.
The tree gets zapped by lightening and comes to life, pulling it's roots out of the ground and going on a rampage. It can somehow zap alive other trees, who form a posse against the humans. This one is dumb but fun visually, so I like it fine. And ya gotta respect the fact that it contains their least offensive trans joke yet, when Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors says he identifies as a tree, because he's a "transplant". Not the most incredible joke in the world, and it's maybe a little hubristic of the Simpsons writers to think they can pull off non-alienating trans jokes. But it's worth noting, I guess.
Story #2.5: OH! They did a short! Because of their weird-ass four-act structure where the third act is very very short. It was Vincent Price reading a rude story in the style of Edward Gorey. One of couplets is a recreation of Bart the Lover.
Story #3: "Dead Ringer" is a parody of The Ring, which I literally watched last Halloween for the first time. Good idea, Simpsons, to parody a thing I know about. Anyway, I found this one to be the weakest.
And that's this one. I'm back, baby! (I am probably going to abandon this blog again right after this post)
MAIL BAG
Aw. AW HELL NO.
People say "The Last Exit to Springfield" is one of the greatest it's not its one of the worst why The Big Book of British Smiles we do not have those teeth. I know Americans need to have theirs cosmetically whitened. It makes no sense the book.
I'm starting to think that no book in the whole world makes sense. I look at those things and I'm just, like, "what is this". You know what I mean? This guy gets it.
I know fans and former fans like to trash the show and even think the show will last forever and ever and ever. But if you have some common sense the show will end if either Matt or a voice actor passes away. Everything comes to an end sometime.
I would not put it past the corporate entities that own the show to have bullied the cast into signing away artificial intelligence rights to their voices in the events of their deaths. It's just a hunch that I have. It was probably the only reason they were able to reach a deal in the last strike or whatever.
How dumb was Marge in the soap box racer episode agreeing with her sisters giving Homer the father test didn't she get it was probably to break them up.
Marge loves her family and is inherently trusting. These are good qualities, unless you live in a world where everyone around you has refused god's grace. She inherited a terrible world that is not suited for her. In other words... can you blame her?
The real reason on why Springfield Stem Academy was a failure was because the idea was from Marge Simpson and the episode had the name Lisa Simpson The Miseducation of Lisa Simpson. Both of them females.
Many in the community will argue that it is canon that "Man smart. Woman Smarter" as sung by Our Favourite Family, but many forget that was a Halloween episode, and thus not canon. Man Smart. Homer/Bart.
Homer a jerkass suppose he didn't know that the word was jackass? Also Homer has always been an ass when he was supposed to get Lisa a new saxophone reed. But went for a beer first. Then it caused the pony incident Lisa always wanted one but it was an incident with ponies being too expensive.
Ponies can be very expensive. Just ask my friend BING CROSBY! HAHAHA GOT 'IM. Nah, I think Homer got it from online. I get all my stuff from online.

Thoughts on a Horror Film - a Review of Se7en
Seven (often stylized as Se7en) is a horror film directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. I watched the film a couple of weeks ago with a friend (thank you Jay), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was released in 1995, and does not skip out on thrill. I was never bored while watching it, and I'll expand more upon that in the next paragraphs (since I wasn't there when we watched Get Out).
Watch Se7en Trailer Here
The film takes place in a most likely fictional city in California, inspired by Los Angeles. It's set in 1995, the same year as the movie was released. The two main characters are detectives Lt. William Somerset and David Mills, played by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. As these two detectives work towards different goals, one set to retire and the other to take his place, they are united by a common cause: a serial killer on the loose, seemingly killing according to the seven deadly sins. In this thrilling and gorey tale, I guarantee the ending will surprise you.
Kevin Spacey did phenomenal work in playing the antagonist of this film. His chillingly calm demeanour and unsettling bald head made his rather short screen time some of the best in the movie. That isn't to say, however, that the rest of the film was lacking by any means. Between Morgan Freeman's excellent portrayal of the talented Lt. Somerset, and Brad Pitt's devastatingly good looks as detective David Mills, I was captivated throughout.
My favourite portion of the film has to be everything that happens after the detectives' encounter with the killer in the police station. From that point on is where you really see Spacey's talents, and the big twist scene of the movie is my favourite scene overall. I won't spoil it, but I highly recommend watching the film, because whatever you predict the twist to be is absolutely incorrect.
The film, focusing the killer's crimes around the seven deadly sins, has a slightly religious focus in its messaging. Even despite this, non-religious people can also take something away from the film, as the seven deadly sins are very common in every day life. The film shows that when someone has a very strong belief, they may go to extreme lengths to make sure they are heard, and people are heard best through unforgettable acts. In this case, the act is violence, which is something that happens very often in the world.
I would recommend this film to detail-oriented horror fans and people who enjoy philosophy/theology, due to the subtle yet intentional details throughout the film, as well as the religious and moral themes. I found it incredibly worth the watch, and I am now very specifically recommending it to you Mr. Edwards. Watch the film. Please and thanks. :3
(Watch it over the break perhaps)
I give it an A+ ❤️

I was watching a webinar the other day in which an author referred to an Edward Gorey book I’d never heard of before as “the first horror story I ever read.” I was curious enough to see if I could learn more about The Dwindling Party, and then I discovered why it’s hard to find now … it’s a pop-up book! Here’s a video that shows us what the book looks like, so you can see the party getting smaller one by one!
