Communicating with my cat is so crazy, it’s like, you watch my back for predators when I sleep. You meow only because you know that I vocalize often, but the words I use are nothing to you unless they’re associated with things relevant to your little baby life (food, for example). You slow blink at me because you feel safe with me. You point your ass at my face, indicating that you trust me to watch your back for predators, because you feel safe with me. You sit in my lap and sleep pressed against my side because you need to warm yourself up, and you trust me to warm you. I know this because I have access to information. If I didn’t, these things would be weird to me. I call you Lulu, but you don’t need a name for me; you have your senses to identify me. You smell me to identify me. You nuzzle me with your head to mark me as family with your scent. We ARE family. You are both the baby I feed and the elderly little lady who watches over me. It’s a very special and pure interspecies bond. I have a concept of “love” that is metaphysical, conceptual; you have an instinctual bond to those that you “trust” to help you survive (and that you, in turn, help to survive). You DO aid my survival on an emotional level that you can’t possibly understand, because you try to aid me on the physical level that comes naturally to you. Who said survival of the fittest has no room for love? We share the pure love of deep friendship because you and I must survive. My creature, Lulu, my best friend. My stinky.

The comments and tags on this post have been very sweet, I really love hearing about everyone’s cats. Feeling a little self-conscious because this drunken emotional outburst (seriously, I had a few drinks, looked at Lulu, and started crying and writing this) has been tagged as poetry a few times. Now I wish I could go back in time and edit it for flow and word choice, but it’s too late now…

☆♡ The Monsterkind Book Two Kickstarter is now LIVE! ♡☆

I’ve been working SUPER HARD getting this Kickstarter ready to launch, quietly working behind the scenes to keep it a surprise…

AND NOW IT’S HERE! The Kickstarter to print Monsterkind Book Two is live, and I am so excited (and so, so nervous)! I hope you’ll check it out, tell a friend, spread the word, and send me your strength.

LET’S MAKE A GREAT BOOK!

GET TAYLOR’S BOOK IMO!!!

When I was younger I used to always look at my doorway before I'd go to sleep, and I'd see these silhouettes shaped like human kids, except their visual quality was similar to when you look at a light and have those afterimages. I never thought much of them but I'd always look to see if they were there watching each night, and they would be. Apparently my sisters saw them too even though we never mentioned them to one another until recently. Apparently one sister even talked to one in their room

Oh gosh! Those sound like shadow people. Very spooky.

[paranaturist]

ok uh idk if this counts but in my town inbetween the hours of midnight - 3am, there will be a train whistle that i can hear from my room. this doesnt happen every night, but on the nights that it does, it lasts anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. the thing is, while my town does have a train track running across the river, it was decommissioned in 1977. no train has run across it since. there are no other train tracks in the area for several miles.

This is really interesting actually. Could it be the remnants of an olden day train on duty? Or is there some other, strange explanation? We just don't know. Thanks for sharing!

[paranaturist]

Not really a super spooky story but: i think im in a haunted town rn? it was clear all around but as soon as you hit buildings it got all foggy and spooky even though it was bright and sunny right outside plus its right next to the highest security prison in the state so i dont trust anything

Oh gosh! Stay safe friend! The atmosphere sounds on par with Silent Hill. Though I'm not sure you appreciate the comparison.

[paranaturist]

Not really a scary ghost conspiracy theory: When I went to a summer camp in Texas in the middle of nowhere as a kid, we always passed this decrepit Sonic restaurant, so us kids swore it was haunted, and we started calling it the Haunted Sonic. Once someone pulled in and all the kids in the car started screaming "DONT GO INTO THE HAUNTED SONIC." I still say that it was haunted, but I think we went there once and it was totally normal? The moral is don't go to sketchy Sonics in Texas.

I promise not to. Sometimes you gotta wonder if Kids know things we don't.

[paranaturist]

I work at a summer camp,and one of our cabins is supposedly haunted. I was helping out some CIT's and happened to mention it, and one of them, who was named Hedwig and had dyed blue hair, told me super casually that she actually had a sixth sense about these things and hadn't felt anything walking by. When I told her the ghost was supposedly in the basement, she swung by my cabin at 10PM to tell me she went to the basement and sensed the ghost was a young boy "but he wasn't malevolent". Yikes.

Oh man, I remember you telling me about her! I wouldn't be brave enough to check out a haunted basement, so Kudos to her.

[paranaturist]

Happened to me and a friend: watched spooky videos over Rabbit one night and then my power went out after I said ghosts weren't real. Cue a couple odd occurances on my friend's end (flickering lights, etc) and we decided we had ghosts (my house in particular i just shared them via streaming website)

Those ghosts were determined to prove you wrong.

[paranaturist]

Yo yo yo, I hear you want ghost stories? Well I have two go-tos. First is from when I was just a little sockling--maybe two, or younger. I don't remember it, but my mother says I walked up to her one day and asked why the people were walking by my room. When asked 'what people?" I said the "the people who are carrying their heads."

Yo!! That's crazy!! My mom told me once that my karaoke machine (with no tape in the tape deck) had a voice come out of it. Super creepy.

[paranaturist]

Hey friends!! I'll catch the blog up tomorrow or something. But today, I want you guys to send me your favorite (true) ghost stories or conspiracy theories! Either in the form of YouTube videos, links, or like telling me what you got. DO NOT SEND IN SCREAMERS OR JUMP SCARES OR I WILL BLOCK YOU ANON OR NOT! I'll tag them as "spoopy asks" incase anyone wants to block them. I'll be checking my inbox periodically tonight and tomorrow!

My Phone Broke

In the middle of my trip abroad, my phone suddenly bricked and is now totally dead. 

Last time I had phone issues, you guys super came through for me, so I’m returning here, hat in hand, and also, merch, in another hand, to try and raise some money to help pay for a replacement phone!

Here are a few ways you can help:

☆ Order something from the Monsterkind Shop! ☆

☆ Buy my digital comics/sketchbooks on itch.io! ☆ 

☆ Support me on Patreon! ☆ 

These three options are best because you’ll get something out of it, but if you’d also just like to kick some money into helping me replace the phone, you can also donate to my  PayPal directly!

I use my phone everyday, and I use it a LOT for work, so it’s really important to me that I get this in order as soon as possible. If you can’t buy/donate, please consider telling a friend or reblogging this post! I would really appreciate it, and it would mean a lot.

Thank you guys so much!
