Update regarding where the books are currently at!

"The Howling Howff is a support group run by werewolves, for werewolves: specifically, new, potentially emotionally (and physically) scarred werewolves. This book is a 101 on what it means to be a werewolf and how to navigate a sometimes confusing existence. Other ‘bitten’ werewolves who have reviewed this material have mentioned words like “tone deaf” and “drastically out of touch”, but we here at The Howling Howff understand denial and anger are an intrinsic part of their human side and we do not hold it against them – or you!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you like satirical folk horror and werewolves, then this is the book for you!

The book itself is 60 pages (including covers) and is currently available to pre-order once more in my Ko-fi shop - THE HOWLING HOWFF PRE-ORDER . I have to hit around 30 orders to be able to bulk buy, at which point it'll take around 2-2.5 weeks for the printer to sort (the covers have metallic ink inlaid :D) and then I'll happily ship them out!

My ko-fi shop also has a separate upgrade option for tracked shipping and I've shipped all over the world with little issue. You can purchase it here - TRACKED SHIPPING UPGRADE

You'll also find a bunch of other goodies in my shop like Art Cards, Prints, Patch and Stickers :) - OTHER GOODIES ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Any support is much appreciated! I'm currently working towards a second book which will be available as a Kickstarter project hopefully around June! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I'll be closing pre-orders on Monday 21st of April as I'll be putting the bulk order in :). Book sales will resume in 2-3 weeks time after the pre-orders are packed and shipped.} Huge thank you for everyone who purchased a copy so far! You've made the second re-print possible

so i think we can all agree that My Lady Jane is one of the best new series on any streaming platforms. like, enemy-to-lovers tension, arranged marriage, magic (sorta), history (sorta), knives, and Dominic Cooper being the villain: it as it all!!

Wow! This is so revolutionary! Ah, but no guillotine method... real sad.

Calling it a “revolutionary way” to experience the full wrath of the carceral state, the Alabama Department of Corrections unveiled Friday a new Death Row Fast Pass that allows convicts to skip the line for executions. “With the amazing Death Row Fast Pass, inmates can zoom past all those condemned individuals in front of them and get strapped to a gurney and injected with a lethal dose of toxic chemicals right away,” said state corrections commissioner John Brooks, adding that the pass, which costs just $39, could save death row inmates up to 40 years of wait time and also provides special access to a number of exclusive execution methods, including electrocution, nitrogen gas asphyxiation, and even firing squad.

Tragic: Luigi Mangione Commits Suicide By Shooting Self in Back of the Neck While Tied Up to Chair

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK - In a tragic turn of events, Luigi Mangione was found dead in his jail cell Tuesday with a gunshot wound in the back of his head while tied up to a chair. The death was ruled a suicide by authorities. This came while Mangione was awaiting trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“Cases like this are always tragic,” said Detective Roy Hansen, who was in Mangione’s jail cell seconds after his death to declare it a suicide. “He was just about to go to trial, and then boom, he’s just gone. It’s a real shame that we won’t be hearing from him anymore.”

Hansen also made note of the circumstances surrounding Mangione’s death. “He clearly went to great lengths to end his own life,” Hansen stated. “He was tied up to a chair with duct tape covering his mouth. There was a gunshot wound on the back of his head, maximizing the impact. It’s clear that this act of suicide was deliberate and not an accident. I just can’t believe it.”

With Mangione gone, he was posthumously found guilty and all evidence against Thompson and all evidence against UnitedHealthcare was summarily shredded.

LIONHEARTED

[slavicafire]

now that enough days have passed since chicago... i've partaken in multiple parties and afterparties with Vaguely Unspecified Work Persons, both in poland and in london, with a variety of Vaguely Unspecified Things happening in the background. crazier things than chicago.

and yet NOTHING nothing prepared me for the whiplash of just simply getting shitfaced drunk with someone whom I very deeply respect. intellectually, in their work ethic, and as a person. and purely accidentally, inadvertently, to the utmost horror experienced by us both, discovering we share the same exact kink. which would be sort of fine because it should also make us incompatible (we share the same role in that kink) if not for the fact that we discovered it because we had our eyes on the same exact mark. and discovered the competition only makes it better. and that sharing would be so absolutely fucking exciting. IF it wasn't so deeply unethical. inappropriate. we would never go for it.

obviously.

DISCLAIMER: i am not a putin/russian government supporter, i suppport and stand with zelenskyys ukraine 100%. i ALSO obviously do not support the kim dynasty and north korean government. this is purely meant for entertainment and comedic purposes as a satire.

It was a hard day of being president of the greatest nation in the world, Russia. Putin settled down in his plush bedroom, the royal coloured bedspread covering his body in a warm comfort. However, no matter how warm it was, it couldn’t compare to the embrace of his dear lover. His fingers slid over the phone sleepily as he texted him in the dark.

“You up, Jongy?” and pressed send.

He almost dozed off among the luxurious pillows, in his cashmere pajamas and the blankets surrounding him, before he heard the vibration of a text back.

“Hey, hyung, what’s the matter? You should be asleep.” his distant lover, Kim Jong-un messaged.

Vladimir sighed and rolled his eyes, smiling. His Kimmy always wanted the best for him, even if it meant being a little bossy. It kind of turned Vlad on, how Kim was pushy and controlling sometimes, although he wouldn’t admit it without a thorough amount of poking and teasing. He guessed he had got it from controlling every detail of his citizens lives for so many years. Putin chuckled to himself

He messaged him back, fumbling with the phone in the dark.

“I know, I know, I just wanted to talk to you. You’ve been sorely missed in the Kremlin.” The message sounded formal enough, hiding the burning desire behind it.

“Aww, I’ll try to visit soon, darling.” Jong-un texted back.

Even though it was a matter of 5 minutes between each reply, for needy Vlad it felt like a million.

“I wish you were here to hold me.” He texted quickly, not stopping to think how soppy it sounded.

“Don’t talk like that, hyung, we’ll see each other soon enough.”

He could almost feel the warm reassurance from Kim through the screen, embracing him like the warm Korean hands he knew so well.

“Why not now?” he texted, nuzzling sleepily into his silk pillowcase, having now giving up all fear of sounding whiney or needy.

“Too many civil rights to abolish, too much fun to be had from threatening South Korea…” was the message back.

It made sense to Putin. Life was just too busy as a dictator to just drop everything and fly to Saint Petersburg, but he sometimes wished he could literally conjure Kim right in front of him, right there in the master bedroom of the Kremlin palace. But alas, he accepted it. Although, as amusing as it was, Vlad was beggining to grow weary of Jong-uns constant teasing of South Korea. He knew they were sworn enemies, but the obsession seemed like more than just blind war fuelled hatred.

“Sometimes I feel like you care more about South Korea than me…”, he hesitantly sent, his finger hovering over the send button for a moment or two.

“Oh, Vlad-ah, you know that’s not true. I could never love anyone as much as I love you, especially not those scum. I’m merely strategising. South Korea, or anyone, could never get between us.” Kim texted back, the warm words filling Putin with relief.

“Okay, thank you, Jongy. love you.” he messaged back quickly.

“Of course, love you too, see you soon. Get some sleep now, okay baby?” was the sweet but firm reply.

Vlad texted another “Okay goodnight.” before he let his phone slip out of his hands, his head dropping into the warm soft pillows and into a deep, yearning sleep.

thanks for reading and i’m so sorry, let me know if you want more.

Nobody for President was a satirical campaign that emerged during the 1976 United States Presidential election season. The purpose of the campaign was to highlight voter apathy, and to encourage people to register to vote, even if they didn’t necessarily support either major party candidate. It is believed that Wavy Gravy, a peace activist best known as the emcee of Woodstock and as the Grateful Dead’s resident “clown”, initially nominated Nobody for President at a Youth International Party (Yippie) rally which occurred outside of the 1976 Republican National Convention in Kansas City. The Nobody for President movement offered suggestions to counter voter apathy, including providing a None of the Above option on ballots, declaring Election Day a national holiday, and tying election participation to jury duty.

FAN ART: With Puppet History being back with season 7 on YT, here’s a throwback to last year with my Puppet History-inspired project for my music production course, in which a very traumatised and stressed bottle sings his heart out about his fucked up existence. Give it a little watch and a like!

Also reblog!

they officially cancelled My Lady Jane after only one season because it apparently “didn’t find a broad enough audience”. i’m disappointed but not surprised, unfortunately it’s just one more name in the very long list of too-soon cancelled shows with incredible potential.
