Forever loathed

The pieces of our hearts shatter, the sky goes grey, the sun goes down and life moves on. But we don’t, sitting still like marble statues. Pure ethereal, beautifully serene. At least that’s how people see us, perfectly sculptured by the gods. But we aren’t; we are tainted by bloodlust. Our souls streaked with black ink, unforgivable, sinful, deadly. We are the demons of our world, dead; but alive. An insatiable hunger buried deep beneath our skin, unquenched by food, only one thing can extinguish this fiery hunger; blood, crimson, raw, nectarous and enticing, disgraceful and metallic, a truly sinful action. We are called leeches, bloodsucking scum. Unworthy of life, all for something none of us chose to be. The shell of a human. The soul of a demon. A monster. Something used in stories to scare kids. Bloodlusting brutes. We are exiled, beaten and bruised. Rejected and hated. Why? you may ask? We are hellish creatures. Immortal, eternally loathed. We are vampires.

How long have you been creating the Cards universe?

Since i was 12/13. I was in year 9 (third year of secondary school) i stated making it because in my english lessons we were learning about gothic litrature (alongside learning about the Merchant of Venice) and we had to write a fairy tale in the style of gothic writing (in under 300 words (weren’t allowed to go over) which was really fucking hard considering that gothic lit is meant to dragged out and over the top) and it got me thinking about fairytales and wanting to make one about a prince being cursed and a princess saving him

To keep a long story short it kind of got away from me... like ‘building a whole arse world’ away from me.

The yellow wallpaper, a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman published in 1892 in the new England magazine...It is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature for its illustration of the attitudes towards mental and physical health of women in the 19th century. It was such an intriguing read, it gives you a taist of Gothic literature and conveys the reality of how women were treated, the ending causes one to think for it can be interpreted in many ways, did she triumph or loose her sanity in the process This is how I envisioned the last scene in the book. .................... #theyellowwallpaper #illustrationartist #digitalart #litrature #americanliterature #feminism #women #mentalhealth #gothiclit #books #booklover #artist #art #illustrationartist #illustration #charlotteperkinsgilman #visualstorytelling #behance #newengland #feminist #feminism #equality #girlpower #womenempowerment #women https://www.instagram.com/p/CLg0B8Tr9Qq/?igshid=yrvn45cxyq8w
