I saw dune 2 and bought the sand worm popcorn bucket :3. I’m going to fill it with snacks now and make it my terrible snack holder :3

Me and @marywhal went to Dracuthon (live reading of Dracula.) Thank you, Allison for pictures <3 <3 <3

The speakers all had superb comedic timing and I had bought the manga version to read along!! I got to talk to Matt Kirkland who created Dracula Daily, and I won a goodie bag for my vampire costume :3

[ID: tiktok video of a window. The blinds slowly open as a person peers out, eyes darting around like they’re looking for something. The blinds slowly close. The caption read, “packidge?” The music being played is “One Day More” from Les Miserables. End ID]

I made this yesterday but forgot to upload it anywhere

Hilarious story, lads. I was out shopping with my mom yesterday and we were in a craft store. I saw a skeleton on a big ole wreath and I thought “lmao Kravtiz.” AND THEN I REMEMBERED THIS POST by @raychleadele​. Image description and slightly blurry bonus photo of herbgerb (because I’m nothing if not commited to the bit) under the cut!

[ID: First image is a of Lup, an elf woman with tan, freckled skin and curly blonde hair, selfie style in front of a department store Halloween wreath. The wreath features a skeleton in the middle, holding a sign that says “beware.” There is an Instagram like caption above, which reads, “Found your boyfriend.”

Second image is of Taako, an elf man with tan, freckled skin and slightly long blonde hair. He is staring at his phone and yelling in outrage. A slightly transparent zoom in of his face hammers in that fact.

The third image is of Kravtiz, a dark skinned man with dreaded, dark hair, standing behind the Raven Queen, depicted as a dark skinned woman with long black hair. Kravtiz wears a black and grey suit with black cravat. He says to the Queen, “My lady you don’t have to like that!” The Raven queen wears a wide brimmed black hat with a decorated veil to cover her eyes. She also wears raven bone inspired jewelry, a feathered, off the shoulder top, and black gloves tipped with silver talons. She replies, “Oh, but they’re so funny.” She is holding an ipad that reads “Bird Mom.”

I thrifted this outfit a while ago and I shall wear it at the funeral of my exceedingly wealthy husband who died under (conviently) mysterious circumstances

[herbgerblin]

Hey herb, rich sparkly widow dress aside, what's the other wildest item/outfit in your closet? (FashionshowFashionshowfashionshow-!)

Y’all remember that time I bought a burial gown by accident and was like WHOOPS MINE NOW. So that’s there in my closet as a robe :0

(kdas;lfjs;idkj I originally had no intention of uploading this, which is why my voice sounds like I didn’t warm up at all sorry :<)

This is the lyrics to “Cycle”, an original song, but set to “Madame Director,” which is what I would have done AGES ago had I realized that the two would work well.  It cuts off at the end, unfortunately, but the last line is, “And I will wait...until we meet again.”

[herbgerblin]

Tunglr would not let me directly upload, so vimeo is my friend now! Sang this on instagram, but my phone died before I could save the stream :<

Music is the piano accompaniment of Salut D’amour. (This piece is designed for violin and not the human vocal cords, but I digress.)  Lyrics are by me and the transcription is under the cut! 

Lyrics:

I loved you before I had the words to say
 The feelings I swore would somehow fade away
 But now I am certain of what’s true
 That everyday I live, I live it loving you

My darling, forgive me, I must go away 
I promise when I return that I will stay
 Just know that each day that passes by
 Will only draw us back together, you and I

Sprawled far apart
 With no aid from the stars
 In the hollow and keep
 And the darkness and deep
 When the depth of my soul
 Wants to lose all control
 There’s a light gilding me 
Back to you

I’ve spent many days in wondering where you’ve gone 
I’ve lost many nights just trying to hold on, 
But there is one thing I know for sure 
Ahhh, ahh, ahh, ahh


That I will love you even more

[herbgerblin]

I caved, here is my toonme :0

[herbgerblin]

[herbgerblin]

1-10 for the end of year meme :D

First things first, did you have a good year? Yes

How old did you turn this year? 23

Do you feel your age?   hehehehe yeah. Didn’t feel 22. But I do feel 23.

Did your appearance change in anyway?Physically, no. But my presentation varies so much that my friends say I look like different person every day. And I like that kind of spontaneity. 

Post your favorite selfie.

If you traveled, where did you go?I went nowhere this year :/

Which fashion trends did you love?I’m actually very glad camp was the Met Gala theme. It forced a lot of non poc/lgbt people to research it. And I think it encouraged people to be more funky in their fashions (even though we all know who played it safe.) 

Which fashion trends did you hate?If I see one more clear plastic boot without socks I’m gonna riot. We wear socks for reason!! Your feet need to breath!!!

What was your favorite article of clothing this year? already answered :0

What song sums up this year for you?

Another good one is “They Don’t Care about Us” — Michael Jackson
