so-called "tragedy enjoyer" reads the exorcist and suddenly feels heartbreak instead of catharsis or vindication over seeing a character who was always gonna die in the worst way possible die

So suffer your fate, oh, come here and give me a hug
Nobody loves you like I love you, oh, my dear
But you should've known that this was gonna end in tears
---
Yeah I went and finished it 👉👈 Silly as it sounds, it was bothering me so, so much to only have two stickers designed and not three when the third WIP was just sitting there PLS FORGIVE
Third design in the Evil Conan sticker series!! If we cross paths at COAF 2024 you might get to take one home :3 ...assuming I have them... :33 ...I finished this pretty late... :333 It is very unlikely I will get them in time GAH what was the point of me rushing this (sobbing)
Since three is a nice number for a set of things, this and the previous two stickers will be going up for sale on my shop as a bundle soon, so stay tuned!
(Previous sticker here)

Midnight Pals: Fox Devils
Sam Richard: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the fox devils
Richard: it's about this kid from a super religious family
Richard: they don't even let him watch cartoons!
Richard: [shaking head] they don't even let him watch cartoons.
Richard: his parents are so religious they think all pop culture is satanic
William Peter Blatty: yes, yes
Blatty: they're right you know
Blatty: that's why i don't sully my brain with any non-catholic entertainment
Blatty: the only thing i watch is pope speeches
Blatty and Cars 2
Richard: his mother says "cartoons" are "a satanic playpen" and "tiny idols"
Richard: and that he needs to be "a warrior for christ"
Barker: why's she talk like that
Richard: like what?
Barker: like a zagat review
Richard: so one day his parents are at bible study
Richard: so he decides to watch a forbidden cartoon
Richard: his parents think that cartoons are satanic, you see
Richard: turns out that they're right
Blatty: i could have told you that
Richard: see, there's this cartoon
Richard: where a bunch of punks finds a satanic grimoire
King: wait, they put a satanic grimoire in a cartoon?
Richard: yes
Richard: really incredible the sort of things they put in cartoons these days
Blatty: yeah this all scans
Richard: and then the kid finds that same satanic grimoire in his local library
Richard: cuz it turns out this town he lives in
Richard: is really cool
Richard: the kid summons all these little fox devils
Richard: who follow him around and kill people
Richard: just a bunch of little guys
Richard: some real little birthday boys
Richard: but the important thing about these little fox demons
Richard: if this was a movie
Richard: we'd be talking some real wet puppets
Roger Corman: yes
Corman: YES
Richard: now the kid's gonna fuck up the evil town reverend
Richard: but the reverend's not important
Richard: what is important is these fox demons
Richard: they are adorable
Richard: you're gonna want one of your very own!
Corman: you know what would be great?
Corman: what if they killed people in really comical ways
Corman: like with a pogo stick or something
Corman: and there could be like
Corman: comical high-pitched chittering on the soundtrack
Charles Band: i like the way roger thinks
