Bro I was just thinking about Longlegs again (daily activities) and I realized something. When he goes to that little store to get more supplies to make his dolls, he actually goes up to the counter and pays, he doesn't shop life like one might expect him to?! Where does he get the money?!?!
I think it’s gotta be one of the perks for working for satan, never have to worry about money again. Like I imagine it’s a sort of cult appeal, he wants to feel needed and have his needs met in return, bc he can’t have been doing well financially as well as socially and mentally. He might even have already been travelling before he became the ‘travelling monster’ he calls himself in one of the letters. Having no real ties to a community or fixed people in his life would make him easier to manipulate and harder to find.
What if he hadn’t even known the rest of the deal before he delivered the first doll? He gets fuel money, food and a newfound purpose, all he has to do is make some dolls. Then all of a sudden he’s just witnessed several murders, but he doesn’t want to go back to the cold and hunger and emptiness. And even if he did it’d be really easy to convince him he’d be caught without some demonic intervention, and spend the rest of his life in prison. So now he’s stuck.
Or maybe he’s just stealing from Ruth’s purse.

I have considered opening up small art commissions for a while, so here we go!
I know we all be struggling rn, so I'm just testing the waters.
$15 will get you an icon of a character I am familiar with (your request).
$20 will get you two characters.
$30 gets you matching icons (two characters)
$50 gets you High Res bust portrait
$70 bust of two characters OR one full body
+$10 for really complicated designs.
DM for more info!
Here's my Ko-Fi where I will be facilitating this along with where I offer writing commissions as well.

As someone who is American and still watches actual broadcast television (news, Guy Fieri...) and am suffering through another election year...
I am sick to death of hearing the term "illegals."
Absolutely SICK. TO. DEATH.
Like, okay, I know that the southern border has issues. It's pretty much our modern day Ellis Island, with many people there escaping...some of the same kinds of issues - and others. There are people there waiting to be vetted, seeking aslyum or work. And, indeed, there are a lot of people who hop the border illegally. I used to live in Arizona, in farm country. People without legal paperwork who could be exploited were a staple of the farming industry there...unfortunately. I lost an opportunity for a job at a restaurant once because I "didn't speak enough Spanish" - code for "Our restaurant is employing people under the table for beneath minimum wage and without benefits that we can threaten to report and have deported if they speak up wanting basic workers' rights." (I came away from that particular encounter not mad at immigrants for "stealin' mah jerb!" but mad at the company / restaurant for abusive corporate practices...go fig. Guess I think differently). Even here in Pennsylvania, I've had chance encounters with people who had no papers. (People who just want to work and take care of their children).
Anyway, yeah, there are processing issues and people who don't go through the legal channels because our government makes it next to impossible.
But every GOD. DAMNED. TIME. I hear the term "illegals" I want to tear my hair out! Or hit people with fish!
It's not only used for people who are going through the LEGAL channels (It's code for "Hispanic" basically, or just "non-white"), even people who haven't?
It's a dehumanising term. That's what I take it as. "Illegals" is a term purposefully used to make people sound like something...other than people.
And so I find the MAGA commercials insulting both to my intelligence and dignity.
It's like, why don't you go all the way, MAGA? Why not use the really horrible slang-term I heard waaaaay, waaaay too much in my white-person childhood around Arizona redneck white people? Why not tweak your commercials and start whining about "wetbacks?" I mean, you might as well, since you term everyone "illegals."
You expect us to think of people as not human. It's too late for me. I've worked with too many "illegals" in my life to think like that.
