enjoy your stay

My current plan to recover from my mental and emotional existence is to just go so deep into being insane that I'll come out sane on the other side. Being a chronic people pleaser plagued with impostor syndrome stretched me too thin, and that leash simply snapped and I am now a completely untethered, unapologetic vermin.

Fuck having impostor syndrome, if I'm not entitled to be here they should've barred the doors better. If I'm doing everything wrong because of imaginary rules that nobody told me about, that's their problem, you should have made your confusing system more idiot-proof.

I'm not here to please everyone and do everything right. I'm here to make bad art, chew on furniture, make people laugh, cook awful food and look at pretty landscapes, and piss off the people who don't want me to exist. If I have an unseen infinite debt somewhere that I can never pay back, I'm going to keep running that tab until I die. I'm alive purely because the universe is shit at pest control.

[theincompetentdesi]

i never thought "i'm alive purely bc the universe is shit at pest control" would be my motivation of the day but damn this dude went hard

[arbane235]

"if I'm not entitled to be here they should've barred the doors better." Is a great turn of phrase.

Anyway,

zendaya wearing real 3000-year old ancient iranian earrings with no known track of provenance to the odyssey premiere. nasty work. even worse than the kim kardashian marilyn dress to me. they could have promoted modern greek jewelry designers but chose to do this instead. very tacky at best. especially in this geopolitical climate

encyclopaedia iranica entry on 'ziwiye', covering the alleged discovery of the site and the subsequent plunder of it.

[erebus0dora]

some of you asked if you could print/chew/otherwise consume my Devil's Minion art, and i did ask if you needed a masterpost on the topic, so-

may i offer you this Google Drive folder, o gentle creatures..?

i'll add more, and i believe it's sensible to add the links to the original posts with these images, but frankly speaking i am chill with whatever way you use or share them if that's for your personal use

just keep them free, that's my only request

what was born as a free art should remain free art

any questions left? ask them, i don't bite unless you would really like that

now, have a peaceful day and my digital hug

💜UPDATE💜

the final, updated reblog

gonna keep the folder open and load there anything and everything from this list i didn't (minus one commission, commission is sacred)

let me also say that Assad Zaman and Eric Bogosian are breathtaking, beautiful, talented, amazing, incredible actors whom i had immense joy of painting - and hope to paint again one day

🫀

[lizmitches]

you can be peeling a boiled egg and think to yourself wow. that was so simple. and then you peel another one and it’s like being in the throes of war. shell everywhere. egg mangled. tears in your eyes. that’s how god keeps you humble

[erebus0dora]

I may have said this recently, but it's worth saying again: I've been following you since the Coulson Art Days and I've loved your art ever since, no matter what the subject/tv show/movie/etc it's from. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world ❤️

PS I just realized that the Coulson Art Days were around 15-ish years ago and now I have to go collect my Tumblr Elderly Card

MASSIVE HUG

also i might need the directions to Tumblr Elderly Card office xD

[erebus0dora]

look, ever since i found out what "Bergman shot" was, i was circling the idea; these guys? they just match it

you can read this however you prefer, i am neither a judge nor a priest of canon accuracy, i only deliver the images ❤️‍🩹

[peacevine]

You Are Not Immune To fanart of characters who die in canon that has them alive and well, with scars from the wound that originally killed them

[tinfoilmagician-deactivated2025]

Opening the notes and immediately taken out by prev.

[erebus0dora]

heyy! I just wanted to say that I absolutely adore your art. you capture the essence of Daniel and Armand so beautifully.

I actually printed one of your pieces and hung it on my bedroom wall. I love it that much 🥹

this is so heartwarming imma sob, thank you, it means the world to me 💜🥹🖤

[erebus0dora]

Also, your Armand will forever hang on my fridge and stun me with his beauty ❤️‍🩹 Your devil's minion is my favourite version of them.

thank you 🥹

i am updating the downloadable folder of DM arts, since these characters genuinely gave me so much joy it's worth sharing - and i am happy to know my version of them have you a bit of that joy 💜

[erebus0dora]

Sorry about the TVL feelings.

I'm continuing to be a fan, but I have very conflicted feelings and so far, it's more confused and worried than happy and excited.

So yeah, I feel you.and I'm sending you a big hug :(

aw, thank you for your suuport - and worry not about me: in my case, those feelings aren't strong enough to hurt, but consistent enough to keep me disinterested

i have a growing suspicion we are about to have some version of Lost 2.0 twist on our hands (iykyk), so i stick to staying away from TVL; if i am not wrong in my suspicions, that's... unfortunately lazy writing-wise, especially given the IWTV complexity

it's sad to see a lot of my friends genuinely upset by the current narrative as it is now, so - hugging you back 💜

[erebus0dora]

YOUR ART IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! thank you for existing and sharing your drawings with us. my eyes are so blessed I love your style and daniel and armand come alive under your pen beautifully <33333333333 i esp love how you draw daniel!!! you capture the lines on his face so so well <333333333!!!!!!

ohhh i have only just got to the inbox...

thank you so, so much; i hope i did these characters justice - besides, Eric & Assad are absolutely fascinating to paint and study, and it was my absolute pleasure to try 💜🖤

[shinraalpha]

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

[exhuastedpigeon]

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

[homunculus-argument]

Every time I suck ass at doing crafts, I tell myself: do not think about David Shrigley's piano dog. And every time, my brain tells me, whatever you say, dog.

[erebus0dora]

this idea by @kittymand never left my mind, so

not exactly that

still haven't watched the thing

but hey, i like painting this bastard, ok..?

[erebus0dora]

isn't it peculiar how one can witness a flame born and gone out..?

i respect this fandom and love, LOVE the beautiful people i've met, people who make art and write beautiful stories; trust me, i didn't know this was my last DM piece when i painted it

i love IWTV & its characters; for me, it just ended on a cliffhanger - and i cannot bring myself to watch TVL for multiple personal reasons, to the point that i treat it as a completely different show i'd rather not associate myself with

hope that's not too disappointing 🫀
