We need to be feral with our joy in these trying times. 🤓

I hate to say it but “AI slop” still nails a very specific niche for me. ALSO someone once referred to The Rock as a “slop merchant” and it’s actually haunted me (affectionate) ever since 😔

And I was right.

The Lovers

Holding you close, Pi! It’s a weary world these days for anyone with a beating heart. It’s okay to be exhausted. & so valid in the times we’re living in, where the horror and grief of the whole world is visible at our fingertips every moment of every day. Be gentle with yourself, for us 🫂❤️

This was the best card design on Windows Solitaire. No question.

pause & savor this moment. close your eyes & take a big deep breath. welcome back to the world. it's going to be ok. i love you

Everyone knows that Meta is basically single-handedly behind the "do age verification in the app store" push, right?

Government mandated online age verification is dangerous, doesn't work, and poses a massive threat to human rights and free expression no matter where/how it's done. Full stop.

No more benefit of the doubt.

Only penalty of doubt from now on.

Would love to see a pen tour if you’re ever up for it ;)

A haunted small dog looks into the middle distance. The image is superimposed over an image of wartime as though the dog is having a flashback.

In another life, I’d be teaching a media studies course and writing about horror media for a living but here I sit, brokenhearted etc. etc. suffering the torments instead.

you’re not alone when we’re in your heart 😘

sorry folks I did an actual whoop whoop sound

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

Still from Fréwaka of five figures in semi-darkness wearing hoods over their heads with the eyes cut out looking at the viewer.

Fréwaka reminded me more of Men (2022), Relic (2020), & You Are Not My Mother (2021), with light sprinklings of The Wicker Man (1973). If you’re at all into the folklore around fae (I was as a child and this brought me right back!) you’ll have a good time with this one. Plus it’s full of DOPE shots.

Life-sized puppet from The Vourdalak, wrapped in a coat and scarves and staring half-lidded & corpse like at the viewer.

The Vourdalak had been on my list since it hit Shudder & I’m glad I finally got to it! Funny, absurd, morbid, & moving by turns. If you liked The Ugly Stepsister (2025), Gretel & Hansel (2020), or even the dark parables tinged with menace of 1990s TV movies (think Merlin 1998), you’ll enjoy.

Still from the film Frewaka depicting a close-up of a woman’s eyes. Reflected in them is the glow of a neon crucifix.

Five people sit around a table looking cautiously at the head of the table in a still from The Vourdalak.

Devouring on #Shudder lately & these two!!! Fréwaka (2024) is a folk horror fugue on grief, family, & lineage with BEAUtiful shots & powerful performances. & The Vourdalak (2024) which felt like a dark fairytale nightmare through a technicolor French New Wave lens.

A painting by BlueSky user Garden-Ghoul, styled after / inspired by the classic painting, "A young lady and her maid," by Aimée Brune-Pagès, 1853. A woman in a blue dress with braided brown hair and an orange flower-crown is sitting and braiding the hair of a standing blonde woman, who looks down at her, and the blonde woman is wearing a red and yellow gown with fancy embroidery. The figures are brightly lit in a dark room with green drapery behind them and are sharing a look.

Fem! #Hansry, Jindriska and Jana, from #KCD2. Inspired by a painting by Aimée Brune-Pagès (1853). I started painting this before I read the incredible fic #WildflowersinBohemia, but I read it part-way through and added the ribbon as a nod to it. Had a lot of fun painting the dresses.

A digital illustration of the characters Hans and Henry from the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance softly embracing each other after Henry returned from battle. Henry is looking roughened up, tired but peaceful into Hans' eyes, while Hans softly flushes from it, not worrying to touch and hold Henry where he's still bloodied.

I'm home.
