it had probably been the worst decision he had ever taken. even when in high school. he had never bee nthe type to date anyone older than him when he was his daughter's age, but admittedly, he was also the type who had only dated one person in his entire lhigh school life. so he couldn't understand what his daughter's best friend saw in him in the first place. but he was fine, and happy. erik had been making dario happy, and much more considering he had no regrets over knowing him before. so, waiting for the party to be over, he waited outside the car, staring at the brotherhood's door to be opened, before taking the phone, "come out or i'll leave, babe. i am definitely not joining a frat party." he whispered, "besides i have the perfect christmas eve date ready." @dcrkcrwn
This is a special message from Erik Champney, one of the extremely creative and talented co-writer/directors of "Macabre" (@macabrethemovie on all socials). Erik refers to Zack Cherry his co-writer/director and explains a little about the horror/slasher style short film, their plans to take it to several global #filmfestivals after it is completed, and how they hope to gain enough notoriety for "Macabre" to eventually create a feature length film.

Con...
Okay, so since I’m back on here again in the ongoing exodus, I thought I’d better do an introductory post for anyone who wants to follow as well as refresh old friends and followers. Open to new friendships so feel free to send me asks, reply, or whatever if you want to talk.
Francesca (Fran, Frankie for short)
Englishwoman
Lesbian, f4f
Cat person (see previous bullet)
I enjoy writing although I’m aware I’ll probably never be published so it’s mostly just something I do for my own personal catharsis and expression.
Night owl
Haute couture enjoyer
Learning French (c. B1, B2 reading level), want to learn European Portuguese, Spanish, Latin, Dutch, interested in language acquisition more broadly

Also enjoy art/painting, aesthetics, fashion, memes, food and (maybe too much) drink. Lots more that I can’t think of at the moment so maybe a sequel in the future when I feel like being inward-looking again?
Thank you all for an incredible 2022! We hope you had amazing holidays, and we can’t wait to spend 2023 with you!
Children Of The Black Sun #1 - Dario Sicchio & Letizia Cadonici
"It is not difficult to be happy under a blue sky. But it takes a lot of courage to be strong even under a black sun."
Over the years, a black sun has risen twice. A dark dawn whose rays have done terrible things to people's minds, driving them to all sorts of horror. Twelve years have passed since the last time and the world still fears the return of that inexplicable phenomenon. But fear is not the only legacy of those terrible days. All the women who got pregnant under the influence of the black sun have given birth to babies with some... peculiarities. White hair, ashy skin, abnormal proportions, and eyes as red as fire: the Children of the Black Sun.
Brightvale is a small town like many others.
Here the Children of the Black Sun are treated with particular contempt, especially in the days leading up to the anniversary of the two disasters. The hatred of their fellow villagers, terrified of a possible return of that horror, will push these kids to unite and embark on a hallucinatory journey to discover themselves and their true nature. But is the black sun really about to return?
Gangster Ass Barista #1 - Pat Shand, Renzo Rodriguez, Conor Hughes, & Fin Cramb
Trinity used to live a life of crime, but now she has left behind her old life and works at a coffee shop. Unfortunately, making ends meet isn't easy to do with a minimum wage job. Not to mention the fact that customers are beginning to get on Trinity's nerves, and it's getting harder and harder to not let her old tendencies take control.
When Trinity's past comes calling, it's like the famous quote: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
I’m Kinda Chubby And I’m Your Hero GN Vol 1 - Nore
Honjiro is a rookie actor trying his best to land a breakout role, but he fears that his weight stands in the way of his dreams. One day, he's surprised by fan mail full of sweets. The package came from Konnosuke, a local pastry chef-Honjiro's first major fan! As Konnosuke supports Honjiro's work and gives him new confidence to face the stage, will their relationship grow beyond just aspiring star and fanboy?
Mosely #1 (of 5) - Rob Guillory & Sam Lotfi
In the hyper-technological world of the later 21st century, Mosely is a bitter old janitor on a mission from a higher power-to unleash holy Hell upon the "too big to fail" Tech Gods.
Can one man bring down the corporate powers who've used their vast influence to oppress an all too complacent human race (and hopefully win back the favor of his estranged family while he's at it)?
Mosely's taking up the Holy Hammer and you better believe he's gonna smash some $h!t until he sets mankind free!
The call of adventure always seems to hang up whenever Randelgast Jones tries to answer it, leaving him facing the dull future of working in his family's successful potion shop. But when a powerful artifact is stolen from his parents and puts them under a terrible curse, Ran finally gets the quest he's been after his whole life. He and his siblings set off to find the missing artifact - and its trail leads them from their homeland of Primaterra to the very strange realm of... Seattle, Washington. 1992.
Spy Superb #1 (of 3) - Matt Kindt
It's John Wick meets Wes Anderson in this mystery-thriller about a secret organization that's developed the perfect spy. Who is the perfect spy? A spy who doesn't even realize they are a spy. AKA the "useful idiot." This particular useful idiot is named Jay. Jay is sent on missions without even realizing he's on a mission. Until he picks up the wrong phone with the wrong secret intel and now Russian hit-squads and elite assassins are after him. But Jay believes he was a sleeper agent-and really is the "spy superb". His complete obliviousness and lack of survival skills may be the only thing that saves him in this globe-trotting espionage tale . . . where nothing is what it seems . . . but also . . . kind of actually is what it seems.
Trojan #1 (of 4) - Daniel Kraus, Marco Lesko, Laci & Jeff Dekal
Once upon a time, we lived alongside Legends. Creatures of myth. Centaurs, fauns, gorgons, kelpies, gnomes, and more. They were spectacular. Majestic. Powerful. Peaceful. Pure. In comparison, we were ugly. Weak. Warmongering. Rotten. Is it any wonder we could not live alongside them any longer? After driving these Legends to the fringes of society, an uglier form of mythos takes shape in the form of rumors of live snuff shows for dark web high rollers. When a mysterious young woman, Nessa, enlists the help of a hacker to take a tour of the grisliest corners of the Dark Web, she sets in motion a war between those who peddle to mankind's darkest fantasies and a world that transcends imagination. Trojan is fantasy thriller full of wonder and horror in equal measure.
The Ward: Welcome To The Madhouse TP - Cavan Scott & Andres Ponce
St. Lilith's is a secret hospital for supernatural creatures. The personnel are overworked, the facility is underfunded, and all operations must be kept hidden from the public. A place, and a life, Dr. Nat Reeves thought she left behind. Until a wounded woman (with a tail) appears on her doorstep.
Whatcha scooping up this week to start the new year right, Fantom Fam?

Across much of the United States, spring is in full force. With warmer weather, people are taking their furry family members out on longer walks and spending more time outside. Alongside blooming flowers and trees, your pet might run into a small, unassuming grass seed pod known as a foxtail.…
held. held by erik's insides. held by erik's arms. and it was like heaven. as dario thrust into the other's body, the bed complained and competed against the moans that erik gave out. wanting not to wake anyone else in the house, even if it was just them and his eldest sleeping in their room, dario reached out for a pillow letting him bite it, as thrusts became harder and harder, using his power so it wasn't noticeable that he was keeping him from a iwreck
