Not sure if you’ve already seen this pic or anything like it, but I thought of the Morvants as soon as I saw it. <3

I always love me some cemetery jokes 🖤🥰 thank you for thinking of them + me, hon ♥️ Rora would be the first to extol the virtues of selecting one’s own body from the freshly departed (“upcycling,” if you will), but given that Maxi runs a respectable funeral home (or as goddamn close to respectable as he can get it), he would be the first to insist that no, really, let the deceased have their final wishes respected actually :’D

(it’s either graverobbing or necromancy that used to be colloquially referred to as “corpse bothering,” which he hates but Rora and Hex both find hilarious, although in this case it seems to be quite accurate!)

this definitely made me smile!! thank you again babe 🖤💀👻

I’m sorry it took me a couple days to respond to this, but this was such a lovely surprise to find!! 🥹✨ and to be listed in such esteemed company is always an honor 😜🖤

thank you so much for thinking of me when you thought of jess, dolly! this was really kind of you, and I super appreciate it 🥰💗

I definitely have to rec @morvantmortuary and @jmathesonandsiblings - their stories might not be for everyone, since their OCs are slashers, necromancers, and cryptids, and a lot of their work dives into some dark subject matter, but both their writing is absolutely incredible, and their characters are deeply intriguing and make you want to learn more and more about them and their worlds. Plus, they’re both such kind, friendly human beings!! ♡♡♡

Okay so I had a thought-slash-question:

I’m not sure if you’ve ever watched The Book of Life (if you haven’t you totally should, it’s on Disney+ and it’s really cool!), Diego Luna voices the main character in that movie and from what I can tell, he did at least some of his own singing. And he actually sounds pretty good, which brings me to the question: can Hector sing or play the guitar? Does he have any skills at either of those things??

Anyways, just wanted to get that out of my head (😅). Hope you and our dear necromancers are doing well!! ♡♡♡

aww, hi dolly! always nice to hear from you 🖤✨

I’ve discussed this only a little bit previously, but yes, I have seen Book of Life!! Jorge Gutierrez is one of my favorite artists/animators ever; I loved his series Maya and the Three (w/ Diego as a dorky vampire prince to boot), and I’ve been following him on various platforms for years. BoL is seriously underrated, I rewatch it every fall 🥰 And yes, Diego definitely did some (if not most) of his own singing in the movie! he’s a man of many talents fr

Hex is the only Morvant who I imagine sounding exactly like his fc with basically nothing changed (as I imagine before he moved back to Mexico fully with his mom, he went back and forth enough between there and Greymoon to keep his accent), whereas of course I’ve never heard Dani or Eva do a Southern/Louisiana accent before lol. (Now that I have Seth, his voice is also basically unchanged from Dast’s, just bc I think its so cute lmao)

I don’t remember if I’ve talked about Hex’s musicality here, outside of singing (I might have done so in my gc eons ago, but we’ll consider this an update). he can sing, but he’s generally pretty shy about it. he doesn’t like to in any public sense, and he only does so with you after you’ve been dating long enough that he feels fully comfortable doing so. even though he’s good, he sees it only as something to do for fun/goofing around. he doesn’t think of it as a talent so much as he does just part of being a human. his real art is always going to be his visual art, specifically his photography. that’s what he considers his main body of work, and the thing he feels he actively wants to pursue. but when it’s just y’all (or y’all and the twins, and maybe the twins’ partners), then singing is something he does when he’s relaxed and hanging out and living in the moment (or, at times when things are tense and it’s just the two of you, trying to get you to relax and maybe smile a little).

I can see him playing guitar very casually for the same reason — like, not enough to be a professional, but enough that he can competently play a few songs at a party or just hanging out when his eyes need a break from looking at his latest shoot. I imagine he picked it up during his brief stint in university at Mexico City (thinking everyone likes a cute boy who can play guitar at parties, if he wasn’t learning himself from a cute boy who played guitar at a party 👀) and ever since then has just noodled around with it ever since. He can play a few favorite songs of his (and of yours, although he’d want to keep it a surprise until he was sure he could do so without a hitch), but it’s kind of like Maxi and his tipsy piano-playing at 2 AM - nothing he’d really want to show off, purely something for his own enjoyment (and yours, potentially).

but this was so sweet of you to send my way!! thanks so much for thinking of him, hon 🥰 big hugs from us to you in your neck of the woods, and we hope you’re doing well too! 🖤👻

RAERAE!!!

Okay so I have to tell you: I have for a little bit now been working on my own little slasher OC + reader universe (not a rip-off of yours in any way, I promise, although you did sort of inspire me), and I think now I’ve finally gotten it fine-tuned to the point where I can talk about it to someone! And, of course, you were the first person I thought of, being the gender-neutral royal of slasherkisser fics to me!!

Of course, if you don’t want to hear about it that is totally and completely fine (I acknowledge that I already annoy you with asks a lot and if you want me to stop that, too, you only have to tell me and I will), but if you do, just lemme know!! It’ll be really nice to infodump about my own little universe to somebody after planning it for so long (but, again, it’s totally fine if not)!!

Anyways, take your time with answering this, I don’t wanna rush you or anything, and I really hope you’re doing well!! ♡♡♡

hello, dolly~! ✨

(it’s okay if you don’t get this reference, it’s old even for me lmao :’D)

first may I say that I am never, ever annoyed to get asks — it may take me a long-ass time to answer them, depending (and usually the longer it takes to answer, the more I’m having fun with what I’m writing), but I always enjoy someone taking the time to drop in. It always means a great deal to me when I know someone’s thinking of me/the morvants, and it’s always, always appreciated. I know I say it a lot, but I don’t take it lightly at all. 🖤 there’s so much to see and do out there, getting a little portion of anyone’s day is always an honor.

and while that is such an enormously kind a title you’ve graciously bestowed on me (seriously, I wanna put that on my business cards and my CV when I graduate!), I am a firm believer that everyone’s got a little slasherkisser in them. no need to feel worried about encroaching, this is a sandbox I think more people should play in (plus all my necromancy lore is so stupidly complicated I’ve got it written down in my notebooks lmao)! feel free to infodump away - I know you’ve already met my buddy jess and her bunch at @jmathesonandsiblings, but there’s also @shadowworldwanderers who has their own fun bunch as well, and my buddy Sam @pondering-and-wondering has hers over at @claire-connolly! (note: I’m typing this part while I’m also sitting here with my folks, so if there’s anyone I’m obviously missing, please know that’s just bc I’m distracted and feel free to introduce yourself!)

I already can’t wait to hear more about y’all’s little haven in virginia. 🖤♥️🖤 if there’s ever anything I feel is a little too similar for comfort, I’ll be sure to let you know, but I’m already sure your group will have their own distinct vibes. 🥰 there always needs to be more stories in the world, especially lately, and there’s always plenty of room in the spooky corners for newcomers!!

thank you so much for telling me about your new scrimblos, hon! I’m honored that you wanted to include us, and I’m looking so forward to meeting them! 👻💀♥️
