You deserve to treat yourself, every once in a while.

Happy (belated) birthday to me! I wanted to have this done by the 16th but man if that week didn't kick me in the shins over and over ;0; Every year for my birthday I draw myself a lil introspective piece to both assess of my current feelings around that time and ALSO kind of....... have a visual of how my art is evolving, too lmao

so like...is manorcore a thing? an aesthetic that combines the vintage whimsy of cottagecore and the mystery and bookishness of dark academia? plus ghosts???

oh to move into a decaying country estate with staff that won’t come near the house at night and a beautiful gardener with a terrible secret

manorcore moodboard

empty halls dappled in sunlight, overgrown gardens, strange noises at night, long sweeping dresses, dusty books, a feeling of being watched
