You Know I Just Had To!!

February first was hourly comics day! As always, I'm late to the bandwagon.

That was my February second. To clarify, I didn't go to bed at 11 pm. I just ran out of space because I didn't realise until then I'd drawn 9 panels and not 12. My last braincell was not at home that day.

It makes me laugh to remember that this exists. Is the best part the goober grin or the too-long trousers? Can't believe it's only 4 months ago! Thank you @windforkthewriter for my first art request!

Hi Hi Hi! Long time fan, first time asker<3

I love your cats, and as I was laying in bed last night I wondered how The Three Amigos would look with their little sombreros as kitties and immediately thought of you. The movie isn't great so no worries if you don't want to/don't recognize them <3

Hiya my first friend and ask on Tumblr 🖤 I'm honoured to be the person you think of when cat-related intrusive thoughts kicks in!

just Googled up a reference image and it was titled 'problematic films of the 80s' haha, but how can I not draw them, the cat chaos is immaculate!

The Kitten is absolutely smitten!

(Text in ALT because my handwriting is not... writing)

The ✨️wrist thing✨️:

You captured this dummy drama vampire perfectly! 🦇🎀 Kudos to drawing two very fine hands, I was struggling with mine, haha!

Art trade with @purrlockswatson! Their original vampire character, London Pierce ♡

He's just a cutie, disaster kitten

Cherik + Famous Last Words.

I'm okay, I'm okay. Trust me. *Kicks the wall*

To make up for it, have something silly too. (Kudos to @blackghostm2o in the tags of my last Emo Cherik!)

Every My Chemical Romance song featuring vampires, drawn as vampires.

Can you guess which one is which? Answer under the dumb doodle I did on the bus

1: L-R: Sharpest Lives, Vampire Money, 2: Vampires Will Never Hurt You.

(Shoutout to @nalesnik-z-morela I'm sorry when you first told me about MCR my whole review was "there was a lot of screaming" I'm now obsessed, so you see, I got my comeuppance.)

The last couple of days have been quite shite, so let's dress up and mess up a vampire. Perfect timing @vladimirsangel to request "Edgy Outfit." (Can you tell that neither of us knows what edgy means?)

Pierce, being Edwardian, thinks the second shirt means "happy and here to murder," and the third one, "I have a nice shirt."

(To clarify, Pierce is pansexual and should not be allowed to go clothes shopping unsupervised)

His friend and partners are supportive as always

For nonsense like this, send me a prompt from this list!

10. Pierce.

Ehehehehe have fun 😈

This is what we mean when we say our braincells added up only makes us worse, isn't it

Prompt 10: kiss with their lover. You didn't specify which one 😈

None-cat:

That's technically his ex, but I don't think he differentiates very well anyway. (I'm sorry, Pierce, my last braincell died, I didn't mean to randomly roast you.)

Ask or comment a number from this prompt list to get nonsense like this

Why hello, Emo Cherik.

Inspiration from an absolutely unhinged video.

WARNING: I will NOT take responsibility for your dead braincells. If you watch it and feel the urge to bang your head on things, it has nothing to do with me. I wasn't here.

That said, enjoy suffering 1,990 phases of questioning your sense of humour:

All Cherik art here. Mostly less unhinged. And Kitty Cherik to compensate.

Love Never Dies, we have beef!

This was... painful. But I think I can ramble without roasting. As always, if you're a fan, don't read, because I'm still serving beef!

I first watched it, I was so bored I had to play it on 1.25× speed. Nothing seemed to be happening even as every new thing wrecked my faith in the creators' intelligence a little more.

"The Beauty Underneath" had unbelievable visuals. People in fish tanks horrify me. In a good way. But when the Phantom decided to yeet his mask like that, I wanted to reach through the screen and shake him. Mate, the kid doesn't hate you. He just got randomly jumpscared. Of course he ran away.

I loved Ramin's sassy Phantom in "Devil Takes the Hindmost," but the premise of the song is so bad it deserves a whole roast post.

All this could be a problem of my personal taste in music and storytelling. But I can't forgive how thoroughly they destroyed Phantom's character. In Ramin's version, Mme Giry was roasting him to his face, and he didn't pull out the lasso? Met Raoul drunk in an empty bar and didn't drop him off a pier and make it look like an accident?

Look, we all love "poor unhappy Erik," but Phantom does not have a heart of gold. No, he's not a monster, but he's not a hero either.

Call me doomy and gloomy, but I don't believe that Phantom would give a hoot if Meg died. He definitely wouldn't show the compassion and repentance he did in that final scene.

The worst thing a PoTO story can do is to make it all about his appearance, which I feel LND did. The greatest reasons Phantom is doomed by the narrative is:

1. Society alienates him for his appearance.

2. How he acts because of his self-hatred, fueled by his alienation from society.

When the narrative puts too much weight on one or the other, it loses direction.

More POTO adaptation rambles here!

When I say I was bouncing off the walls and crawling around the ceiling when I got the comm, I mean it! I'm so happy my love for it translated! And Happy Nosferatu is going to be my new seasonal greeting now

I swear I have never been this excited about an advent calendar and just in case it wasn't clear I am a grown adult but I am bouncing around like a child.

@purrlockswatson made such a beautiful advent calendar already and then this. THIS.

Aurik has a yellow hoodie. His favourite colour. He's going to the movies. One of his favourite things. He's meeting for the first time a vampire who looks a bit more like him (Count Orlok) and that vampire is a movie star and they're watching his new movie and they got the big novelty coffin popcorn bucket and they got to bring the pet rats and and and....

It's so lovely. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Nosferatu to everyone in general.
