Last thing I googled: "Do people still say hip?" My inner Victorian is showing, isn't it?

Looking forward to: Like ACFS, I'm waiting for Del Toro's Frankenstein, finishing my vampurr book, posting my writing (at last), and menacing my friends when they wake up.
I think we've gotten into the PoTO artists' end of Tumblr, so we're probably double-tagging like mad, but I'll do it anyway. @leader-of-grandys @blackghostm2o @wowyzowy3 @lokislynx @windforkthewriter @thedrawingduke @v-jack-v @vladimirsangel @blackforrestpunk (I already know you two but there's always "better")
Omg thank you much for tagging me! @dearwormw00d :3

If a pole dancing vampire isn't what you wanted to see today, you know better now, yes?
My vampire Pierce knows how to pole dance. I'm not sure what to do with that information, but it's there. He did ballet, that's actually plot relevant, but this... Well, he's having fun.
(I have a lot of less unhinged WIPs on the way, but I'm low on vivacity right now, I need to drink blood)
For some reason I haven't been able to draw any cats lately. Catch me lurking around the house like a cryptid cosplaying a person.
I can't be bothered to update my meet the artist but I cut my own hair again and I can see my scalp for the first time. Yippee.
Monsieur. MONSIEUR. As someone doomed by the narrative, you have no right to be that precious. A lot of people will get hurt.
Vlad, how dare you put me through this. Je ne vais pas bien, pas du tout !
I talked about this adaptation here.
More Phantom: Cowboy (Cowcat?) Phantom, the Persian, Erik and his stuff.
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.)

A vampire t-shirt I'm working on. The transfer paper won't unstick, so I've got to slowly scrub it off, but I managed to save Mr Pierce here.
Two tomato nosferatus are currently being excavated. They're mildly horrified.
I can't put the print in my shops because most of it is cheeky screenshots from Pinterest, but I'll post the results when I manage to salvage it
I used to be mad that my star sign's ruling planet is Jupiter because the god Jupiter is a bit of a cur, but LOOK! I made little stimming paws when I saw this!!
(Side note, no, Meta, I'm not using the fudging app, you sneaky little fopdoodle.)
(Reaction image is BBC Purrlock)
(Oh wait, I've actually drawn Jupiter/Zeus as a cat!!)
Skoodles I did for a possible vampurr self-help book. Working title is "Vampurr's guide to Unlife." I skip between projects like a Mexican jumping bean and, well, this is the newest one!
Help me name the vampurr master in the cape (the lackey in the background is Zaida). Now I'm calling him Count Vladipurr von McFangs, which works for him, I guess - he's the same lil guy from this vampurr initiation test comic here
Finished a(nother) draft of my writing and looked down to see my gingerbread vampire looking back at me like this:
Mr Pierce... Mr Pierce, what have you done? What do you know? Why are you looking like me that?
Well. Unless this little doofus has better ideas, Tale One is complete - that is to say, it has a beginning and an end and a relatively coherent plot in between. That's a victory for me!
I have to delete so much stuff... too many long talking scenes about the meaning of life and such. I don't know how it happened, and I'm eager for it to un-happen.
Happy new year ! :)
(Might be early, because of the time zones)
(Lil doodle, hope you don’t mind)
Ooooh it's Pierce and his floofy tie! Look at the little coquette. That's him during the New Year's Even reveries. This is him after:
I just woke up and the h in aftermath was lost the the void in my brain.
Happy new year to you too, what a lovely gift this is!
Amanda. Artist. Writer. Victorian vampire. Here lies my shenanigans.
