Thank You, @windforkthewriter ! Here Goes:

The only thing either of you have to do to deserve it is EXIST! It makes me very, very happy! It's probably a good thing to be poisonous when your parent expresses the desire to eat you. (But honestly, same, I want to chomp his cheek.)

Oh, and I just looked around, and he's still got the stabby thing.

@vladimirsangel 's Innocent in needle felt

Please take good care of my book, Innocent, that's a first edition.

Ask Vlad before booping his snout: I can't guarantee your safety.

This is Innocent, a furry monster who - Oi, what are you doing? Give that back!

*Ahem* I'm still alive. Anyway, that's a needle felting needle. The red stuff on the end is NOT blood, although I did stab my fingers a few times and may have made some accidental blood sacrifices to the small woollen creature. Should I be worried?

(I've also made a sculpture of him)

Im made you a mini fanart (sorta) :3

0.5 seconds later:

Thank you so much for your amazing art!! Erik looks so confused about his small cat fiend friend! "Daroga, what should I do with it? Can I put it in the Torture Chamber? Can it live on the Iron Tree to menace the guests?"

Aaahh, such a lovely, lovely surprise, thank you, Ange!

Okay, yarn. Yarn is cool right? Also, who out there likes milk. Milk is cool.

Milk, Yarn, ugh! Milk yarn.

I know I sound crazy but it's real. It's so Real! I feel crazy! It's a chemical process and it's fascinating, it's like, someone looked at a glass of milk and went, "huh, I want to wear that."

Apparantly it's pretty durable. I don't know. I kind of lost my mind a couple hours ago when I first found out, I just climbed out of wonderland btw. People! Don't follow that rabbit!

(what, your ask button said "unhinged messages." This is just happy coincidence.)

I think the invention was ghost-written (ghost-made?) by a cat. (Thanks for the unhingedness! Enjoy a photo of my chucky Lucifer wearing morningstar earrings.)

Apparently, 15 years (and two, three days) ago, Love Never Dies had its first run.

Have some snarky Ramin Phantom from Devil Take the Hindmost

And why not have the Ben Lewis version, too?

I honestly didn't have to add much chaos at all, it's... what happened

More POTO cats here, a rant about LND here and more LND cats here.

Probably? Mes amis, it's fudging canon!

Behold, me using the Original Text as proof of something unhinged again.

All Eriks have funny weird humour. There's no way this genius didn't have a better disguise.

(Chrissy's hair, ahhhh, I love it!)

Leroux Erik would be proud. Probably.

My Erik has a funny weird humor, that doesn't appear that much in my stories. Well.

Stop feeding the goat, damn it! Anthony Inglethorpe, je te déteste.

Heaven knows the publishing industry has always been a savage garden to begin with. Now they're welcoming this demon goat to eat his fill. Shame on you, HarperCollins, and anyone who follows in their example.

I'm doing a Phantom of the Opera. I'm going to hold my manuscripts and climb into a coffin and never leave.

(Demon Goat design inspired by that tiny goat who started a cult in Helluva Boss. See here for why I draw AI as a goat.)

C'est le 💅🏻Fantôme💅🏻

I’m reading the Le Fantôme de L'Ôpéra. Here are some highlights of my Kindle highlights:

The correct translation is actually something like 'she was reading a book with gold edging,' tranche meaning both 'edge (of a book)' and 'rasher (of bacon.)'

(As a walking, talking dictionary, I am morally obliged to mention that the translation is actually ‘dandies’ not 'gentlemen.')

You can probably guess that the last word means ‘unmask.’ And we all know how well that goes down with Erik.

Poor Persian, though.

This segment was cut out of De Mattos's English translation, so I don't have an explanation for this. (See replies for Vlad's traslation!)

Being a Goth has really improved my French. First I kept writing French captions for my Interview with the Vampurr comics (examples here and here), and now I'm reading a French classic despite only understanding around 1 word in 5.

Art exchange with @frommarshtheycome

Who would win, the Skeleton Man or his own stage/screen adaptation?

Original comic with Christine here and Void Face Erik here.

Thank you, Marsh, for your wonderful art of Sarah!

#StarterPackNoAI

I come with necessities.

It's sad to think that AI art trends will probably be around for a good long while. Let's make sure that we can beat it back with counter-trends. Here's my small and silly contribution to #StarterPackNoAI.

Really, people, if you want to see starter pack art, ask me! I'd draw it. It might look wonky and full of jokes, but on the bright side, I don't charge you for works made of mashed-up stolen art, which is all generative AI does (a tip would be nice though)

I drew one too, but it is mildly cursed:

Live Aurik Reactions are always the best!! I'm doing no good for his poor vampire heart, bless him, menacing him with the biggest coquette vampire friend and pin-up postcards.

Never used my phone drawing app before, that went as well as can be expected!

Live Aurik Reaction to @purrlockswatson 's post.

Look, it's not his fault, he's had a very sheltered life (and unlife).
