we were meant to live slowly!!!! we were meant to savor moments and feel unabashedly lazy and frolic and smell the flowers and laugh with our entire hearts and love with our entire souls!!!!! don’t ever feel guilty for resting!!!!!! don’t ever feel guilty for slowing down!!!!!! enjoying life shouldn’t be something you’re ashamed of

Loving me to death and after

Something fascinating is that Carmilla turning Laura into a vampire takes its sweet time and has different effects than her normal vampire biting...

Three weeks of draining Laura (since the black cat dream) and of very sensual death dreams. Contrast to biting her village victims once and letting them die. ("It could not be that terrible complaint which the peasants called the oupire, for I had now been suffering for three weeks, and they were seldom ill for much more than three days, when death put an end to their miseries.").

Coupled with:

"Carmilla became more devoted to me than ever, and her strange paroxysms of languid adoration more frequent. She used to gloat* on me with increasing ardor the more my strength and spirits waned. This always shocked me like a momentary glare of insanity."

*to look or glance amorously at

It's as if pouring all your love on your future eternal companion is a contributing factor to the vampire-turning process.

Carmilla & Laura - [ Book Cover ]

I am so incredibly proud to finally reveal my cover design for the Deluxe Hardcover edition of Carmilla & Laura, the classic lesbian vampire novella retelling by bestselling author SD Simper!

First, and most importantly, please make sure you sign up to be notified when the project launches (even if you don't plan to pledge) as all interest/sharing will help a great deal: Kickstarter Page 

Secondly, I'm honestly so excited to be part of this project. I've always wanted to design book covers - or book art in general - and to see my work finally make it to people's shelves will definitely be one of my life's highlights.

I worked incredibly hard on this piece (which will extend to the full dustjacket in the hardcover edition) - from the characters, whose faces and tones were a huge challenge to align in a way that felt right, to well... the flowers. Of course it had to have flowers. Nobody even asked for the flowers - it just had to have flowers.

Someone save me from myself.

The kickstarter will feature several tiers with many bonus add-ons - one of which will be limited edition prints of the cover art hand-signed by yours truly - as well as art by other wonderful artists and annotated copies by the author, so please make sure that you come back for the launch and consider supporting the project and/or telling everyone you know about it.

As always, your thoughts are loved and if you have any questions about the Kickstarter make sure you drop them in the comments!

When to ask your situationship "Are we related?", according to Laura:

When she looks identical to the portrait of your mom's young relative from centuries ago ❌

When she's confessing that she wants you so bad ✔️

Inspired by @prettyboysdontlookatexplosions's posts some weeks ago, I made a list of pairings in Dracula (1897) that have more canonical chemistry than the Dracula/Mina pairing every subsequent adaptation seems inexplicably obsessed with:

Mina/Jonathan. Canon married, he would follow her into undeath.

Mina/Lucy. Best besties.

Jonathan/Dracula. "He's mine!"

Dracula/Renfield. Renfield and his master.

Renfield/Seward. Renfield and his doctor.

Lucy/Arthur, Lucy/Seward, Lucy/Morris, Lucy/Arthur/Seward/Morris. The suitors, with or without their bride.

Van Helsing/Seward. Sucking poison from the wound.

Mina/Seward. Geeking out over recording technology, together.

Van Helsing/Mina. She totally bit him.

Renfield/Mina. He died to try and warn her.

No seriously basically any two characters.
