Remember when I talked about the good old-fashioned vampire-smiting method of sucking their gums? That's definitely what's going on here.
Also, Book Dracula and his Van Helsing:
In my defence, I have none. Very proud of how I drew Monster Dracula's face. Good bye.
Just wanted to send some love your way!!! You're all kinds of amazing,and the world is brighter for having you and your art and writing in it!!💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much, that's too kind of you! I am very, very grateful to hear it, thank you! 🥹
Here's a little something from me. Um, it miiiiiight not be very wholesome, but you did say you'd pay to see human Erik in ducky swimming trunks...
Somehow, I'm unable to draw cats or hampsters now, so I made MCR-themed keychain earrings and a Black Parade parade zeppelin choker. I'm strangely mesmerised by the zeppelins in the WTTBP music video.
The Hotel Bella Muerte keychain can only be seen for one blurry second in A Summoning, but I've seen many renditions made by Etsy sellers, and they all seem to agree that it has a Lil Guy.
The Desolation Row one is based on Gerard Way's trousers. It felt like a legitimate design choice at the time and I ran with it.
MCR art from when I can still do it
Here are some stupid pics of my gremlin cat :3
(Maybe they can be a bit of help) <3
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THE GREMLIN cat!
Every one of these photos is precious, but there's a special place in my heart for blurry cat pictures. Here's my stuffy gremlin as a tiny token of gratitude🥹 Thank you so much, Ghost!
(I was shooting him with a Lego gun. As an Experiment.)

Have a safe, fun New Year's Eve,and may this new year be one of many blessings and all things good for you and your loved ones!!!
Oh my, thank you for asking! Questions are from this ask game. Lots of good ones here!
2. How easy is it to make them laugh? Pierce and Cleopatra are a pair of clowns at a funeral. They laugh easily, joke weirdly, and fill my carefully crafted gothic atmosphere with too much comedy. Sarah laughs at people's misfortune. Especially when it's Pierce.
4. How easy is it to earn their trust? Pierce trusts on instinct; luckily, it usually works, and he has a gaurd dog (Sarah). Cleopatra holds people at arms length, but she's so outwardly sweet that it's hard to tell. Earning Sarah's trust would take a lifetime, and you'd probably be wasting your time.
5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust? You'd have to do something really horrible to Pierce's Undead heart to earn his mistrust. Cleopatra, fairly easily, but she gives second chances. You have Sarah's mistrust by default.
8. What are they told to stop doing as a child? Little Pierce brought home creatures and friends that he begged to keep but were probably no good for him. When he was older, he had to be told to stop squandering the family fortune. Little Cleopatra had to be removed from her room to be introduced to human company. Little Sarah bit people, swore a lot and terrorised her governesses.
13. Oh, this is a good one! The trio dress according to the three Gothic colours, red white and black. Pierce wears white and pale colours, signifying his role as the 'innocent.' Cleopatra wears red, vitality and passion. Sarah dresses in black, Doom and Gloom and severity.
15. How do they speak? Pierce is equally fluent in eloquent flirting, undignified emotional monologues and spontanious yapping. Cleopatra changes her style according to who she's talking to and what she thinks they expect of her. Sarah has two gears: swearing and death-threats or cold politeness with discreet sarcasm.
17. Are they easily embarrassed? Pierce gets flustered when he meets someone as good at innuendo as him. Cleopatra used to be self-conscious, but not anymore. Sarah is proud, she reacts badly to being demeaned.
20. How would they explain the difference between familial, platonic, and romantic love?Pierce would say platonic and romantic loves are chosen, but familial love isn't, and the difference between platonic love and romantic love is that with romantic love, there's the desire to become part of that person and have a part of them inside you (metaphorically... I think he knows how that sounds). Cleopatra would say the difference is the places they hold in your life and that many kinds of love can't be pinned down. Sarah believes any kind of love is an obligation.
27. What causes them to feel dread? Pierce: when people fall out of love with him. Cleopatra: the sense of being worthless, helpless or purposeless. Sarah: she'd be the last to say so, but she has a fear for anything that cause her physical or emotional harm.
30. Who do they most regret meeting? Pierce can't really wrap his little brain around regret, but he does have many of them. Deep down, he regrets meeting the vampire who made him a vampire. Sarah and Cleopatra both regret meeting Pierce at some point.
A. Are you excited about your oc(s)? Yes. I write about them every day. They don't always give me an easy time, but I love it.
B. What inspired you to create them? Pierce was originally just a happy vampire, but then I started basing him on Dorian Gray, and then I realised that he has a lot of me in him. Cleopatra has a lot of my own traits. Sarah was based on the actress Sarah Bernhardt in the beginning, but now she's a completely different character and only her name, appearances and sass are the same.
D. Have their physical appearance changed? Pierce was once tall. It gave me a shock to read my description of his tallness in earlier drafts. Sarah's dress and hair changed when I changed her backstory. Cleopatra is unchanged, except that I decided that her hair isn't naturally ginger.
If you've come so far, thank you for reading all this! And I wish you and your family a happy New Year as well, all the best with everything!

SO many hearts, for you. You incredible person.
Aaaaahhhh, thank you very much!! Right back at you, friend <3<3<3<3
(Loosely related fact: I always thought <3 was supposed to be a really scrunched-up looking sideways smiley face, never occurred to my Undead Victorian brain that they're hearts)
Always delightful when my friends throw me under the bus for inspiring unhinged ideas.
Look at him, he's Goth and cool and Eldritch, unlike my silly goober
@purrlockswatson made me do it
Coloured pencils and white ink on tinted cardstock.
I made a Nosferatu. And gave her the coolest boots my mind can concieve of. What should I name her? Give me your most unhinged ideas.
(This is where the tin foil in my kitchen goes. The thumb is full of the stuff.)
More felting crafts: @vladimirsangel 's OC Innocent and his vampire chicken. (I do make things other than little menaces. I swear.)
I was reading POTO in French and remembered that this existed, and everything seems a little less bleak. Thank goodness for art.
I sometimes wonder if I'm selfish for spending my time and life on something so immaterial as art. I forget that it's what keeps me sane.
It's not escapism; it's a fight to understand. Immaterial is not the same as useless. It's easy to forget these things.
(I intended this reblog to be a joke about how I've forgotten Erik is French - I imagine him having an RP accent after watching the musical - but I got punched in the face by a dose of Doom and Gloom so here we are. Apologies.)

I don’t know if you’ve seen Nosferatu (2024) yet, but I am (im-)patiently waiting for a Cat Orlock! Your cat drawings are the best thing on tumblr for me rn and seeing them is just incredible!!! 🤍
Here's some Cat Orlok silliness that's been sitting in my sketchbook! He walked into the 2004 Phantom of the Opera film and haunted the wrong maiden by accident - who can blame him, it's gothic and has a fancy window for him to silhouette himself ominously in. (PoTO cats here)
Thank you so much, I'm very happy to hear that the Goober Cats are loved! 🥹🖤
Guess who’s back
Back again
Rayz/Skitt is back
Tell your friends
I'm not sure if you want my friends to know you
They live in my walls. They have possibly been Undead for years. They are very strange and make me stranger. I'm going to have to phrase this news very carefully so they don't take it as a dinner gong.
*Coughs weird humour out of my system like an exorcism*
Can't help it, my mum doesn't call me Wednesday Addams for no reason. Welcome back, Rayz!!
Amanda. Artist. Writer. Victorian vampire. Here lies my shenanigans.
