A thought of mine

I always wonder how people on social media seem to effortlessly post about what they are thinking or a topic to talk about. I love interacting with others' posts, yet when it comes to myself, my mind goes blank, and I feel like I have nothing interesting to say, no thoughts I feel like I'm smart enough to say or even funny.

I'm just being a bit vulnerable into the void right now, but I feel like how I feel right now is a reflection of how I socialize in real life. Growing up isolated, being an adult introvert and even though I've come a long way on beating my social anxiety and coming off as a conversationalist- it's so tiring and I feel out of place.

Okay thats it- thank you for reading my ted talk 😂😭

currently going insane. I've been taking classes back to back and I haven't been able to sit and read WHAT I WANT.

like yes I enjoy reading about philosophy and short fiction pieces but I stare at my personal tbr stack like - more like YEARNING to get lost in the plot and relax ( iyk , reading can be the opposite of relaxing because the characters or storyline twists but it's still enjoyable)

on the side of wanting free time to enjoy my books, I also like gaming and currently have been trying to fit Claire Obscure Expedition 33 .

writer culture is having so. many. ideas. for this really cool series and you have the perfect lines and titles and everything but you don't have time to write it and you're terrified that you'll lose your hyperfixation and never actually finish the series

i understand that some book fans have problems with gdt’s frankenstein but i literally couldn’t care less about the diversions from the book when the public perception of this story has been defined by the fuckass 1931 movie for the past 90 years (love u boris karloff but that movie just pisses me off) which barely even attempts to be faithful to the book. like this is already leagues above that and i’ll take it if it means the general public will stop thinking about the creature as this thoughtless killing machine

After many years, the Jude In Wonderland illustration set is complete with this third and final crossover! The "White Rabbit", who has been cameoing in the previous illustration is finally revealed as Oak! Munching away on some tarts while Jude confronts the King of Spades, Madoc! We also have some other fun cameos with Oriana as his queen, Taryn as the duchess (and her piglet baby) with the Bomb (scheming mutiny?)

This was such a fun project and I very much appreciate your patience over the years journeying through these illustrations! This and the recent "Pledge our Troth" illustration (Jude and Cardan's wedding) are now licensed and available in my shop for those who want to finally complete their collection! (link in bio!)

Don't forget that you get free shipping on orders with four or more items with coupon code OTPSHIP!

Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors?

Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it!

Started as a warmup but then got carried away lol. Main players in Del Toro’s Frankenstein in the style of Over The Garden Wall. Mostly did this for practice, but also someone mentioned it a couple days ago and I couldn’t resist. Love both of these properties dearly.

Frankenstein studies

[frankherbertsdune]

It's so funny to me that Mary Shelley, her husband, John Polidori, and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story and she wrote fucking Frankenstein. Imagine losing a competition that badly. Imagine just doing a silly little competition with your friend and she basically invents a new genre and creates one of the most famous characters in fiction. Imagine being proud of your little story and then she shares one that people will still read every day in 200 years. Imagine doing a writing competition with your wife and she becomes so recognizable that you'll always be known as Mary Shelley's husband

And they did it while they were kept inside by a winter that stretched into what should have been late summer, which really messed up their lake house vacation plans and made some weird vibes inside that house

Similar circumstances earlier led to the invention of the bicycle
