my names are harper, dean(/dee/D for short) or signal, and i use any pronouns :^) this is just a lil sideblog i have for reblogging gore art, poetry, and other things i find aesthetically appealing. please note that gore art sometimes contains nudity or erotic elements! in addition to being, well, gore art. basically i would be careful if that kind of stuff turns your stomach, because there's a lot of it here.
my pfp is from the game anatomy by kitty horrorshow. my title is from the song animal cannibal, which itself is from the short film possibly in michigan. my header image is from the animation "alien stage: round three" by vivinos.
that's all for now! i'll probably come back and edit this post periodically to add any new information. hello tumblr!
HIHII :D I absolutely love your blog's vibes!!! its so cool!!! also your taste is amazing!!! ok have a nice day!!!! :)
thank you! unfortunately i am not active on this sideblog anymore since I moved base accounts, and my new blog is associated with my real life so i try to keep dark/horror topics to a minimum :/ i do miss darkblogging but i'm also trying to cultivate more positive vibes in general so i think it's a good change. i'm glad you enjoyed this blog though!
love is when you’re wrestling for control of the gun and there’s only one bullet left. love is when you grab the knife theyre swinging at you by the blade and look into their eyes and laugh. love is when someone is so obsessed with you they have to kill you. love is [he is forcibly escorted off the stage by armed guards]
they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary
English has SO many good words like these (although yes we always need more), if you're willing to do a spot of leg work. For example, in no particular order:
Charnel (adj): associated with death (from "charnel house:" a building where bodies/bones are piled)
Lachrymose (adj): prone to crying
Mawkish (adj): a slightly sickly flavor, or something that is feebly sentimental
Visceral (adj): relating to bodily organs (ie viscera)
Excoriate (v): to damage or remove skin, or to viciously criticize
Ossuary (n): a place where bones are stored
Oubliette (n): a dungeon where the only entrance/exit is a trapdoor in the ceiling
Amaranthine (adj): immortal, or a reddish pinkish color, or relating to amaranth (a plant)
Sanguine (adj): bloody, or a blood red color
[sanguine is also one of the four humors, but that's not what I'm talking about today]
Effluvia (n): a bad or harmful substance, secretion, or smell
Maudlin (adj): overly self pitying or sentimental
Sepulchre (n): a small tomb made of rock, like a monument or room
Putrefaction (n): decay
Atrophy (v): to waste away from misuse or neglect (commonly used to describe living muscles or bones)
Morass (n): a muddy or soupy area, or a particularly complicated and confusing situation
Necropolis (n): a large (usually ancient) cemetery
Apostasy (n): the renouncement of a belief (usually religious)
BONUS: a cemetery is different from a graveyard in that a graveyard has a church connected to it, while a cemetery does not
Neither of these are a boneyard, which actually doesn't have to do with bones, but disused or decommissioned machinery
She’s dead she’s immortal she’s haunting you she doesn’t care about you she’s muzzled she’s screaming at the top of her lungs she’s unnoticed she’s unforgettable she doesn’t have control over the story she doesn’t have control over her body she doesn’t even have control over her voice. And I’m obsessed with her.
