[Ha! That's rich, talking like you have a coachman!]
Context: the great Count Dracula has no servants. Blood-slaves? Thralls to his hypnotism? Nah. Just little old him and three vampire ladies who don't help with the chores and try to steal his snacks (and/or his lawyer).
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.)
Aahh, thank you for thinking of him, @greenfinchwriter ðŸ˜

The Dance of the Rats (circa 1690)

Feedback accepted and appreciated. I don't bite. Honest. Inspired by the part in Dracula where Mina turns back to human when he dies, so here the vampire narrator ends their own life to set their lover free. Thanks to @academic-vampire for asking to read my writing and for introducing me to the format! You can read his sestina here.
Daroga, what did they do to you!?

Phantom of the Opera props on display at the House of MinaLima, Wardour Street, London.
This is the shop of a couple of designers who have made a lot of props for the Harry Potter movies. Well worth a visit!
Holy crisps.
Storyboard done. Got out the calculator, and found out I have to do around 100 panels of Cat Phantom drawings. (It's an animatic based on the song "Love me Normally")
Please regularly come to yell at me about this project because I really want to finish it, but I don't know it I have the strength to do so.
Break time. I hope you've all been secretly wanting to see Cherik in a corset because, eh, that's what's happening now.
I'm tired, so have some Pierce being unintentionally funny.
All of these happened during intense scenes or fight sequences. I didn't realise as I was writing that they're pure slapstick. All the Gothic elements of toxic people, betrayal, loneliness and misery are present in the story, but as Van Helsing puts it, King Laugh refuses to be shut out. Sorry, Pierce, you have a kooky author.
Well... that's one way of evading the vampire hunters. Pierce is not beating the Christmas Elf allegations.
In spite of his delightful personality, he does have some bad vampire tendencies. Stalking and hiding in high places, for example.
At the moment, I'm putting him through some pain in my book (complicated backstory comes back to bite him in the behind), so let him have some fun.
In my defence, two of these belong to a friend (naming no names). They sent me the meme, and it's not my fault I decided to add to it.
Happy Valentine's Day to all my favourite weirdos (that includes you if you wish it)!
Have a sketch of Victor. He features heavily in this new chapter:

A loud thud came from the forbidden attic, followed by the ear-splitting clanging of silverware falling to the ground. Someone was singing, a fine contralto voice delivering a musical stream of abuses aimed at bread pudding.
Also in this chapter: the mad wife in the attic.
As usual, please do leave feedback if you have any, I would appreciate it greatly!
Remember Woolly Erik? His debut has been delayed due to a sad wardrobe mishap. Let's just say the seat of his trousers isn't... seated.
I'm making him some cheeky untucked shirttails to make up for it.
More of my needle felting shenanigans. Lots of monsters. Well, all monsters.
Amanda. Artist. Writer. Victorian vampire. Here lies my shenanigans.
