In 45 minutes, we are going to release 100 bats into a vampire singles bar. It’s going to be hilarious.

Self appreciation post because I am a strange and magical creature. Lifestyle highly recommended.

“I am kinda sorry that all this new merchandise is ‘Dracula’ themed,” me in about six months.

(Reading time has been so little, this book is kinda long, and it’s so so good)

At the airport

Listening intently as two guys are talking intently about business things and business deals, comparing technologies, a heated argument that could be in any movie.

I keep thinking “for work today, I wrote teasers for a series of Headless Horseman stories, studied blacksmiths, doodled witches, and read ‘Dracula’.”

Go into the arts, if you can, my friends. Maybe you won’t make mad-crazy-insane money, but my god, you will have fun.

The above hits me about once a week.

You have the amazing part down, brother, you just need to divert the flow of internal chatter so you recognize it.

“I spent ten seconds on this, five of which were proofing, and it will explode, then go dormant, and then explode, repeating this cycle continuously for months.”

Fear is free energy. It generates itself, and harnessing it has always pushed me forward.

The old “oh fuck what if this works what do I do then—OH FUCK ITS WORKING WHAT DO I DO NOW”

Never stop. Never hesitate.

Ah, the muse

Headed Seattle tomorrow.

Facing huge steps in the realizations of my ambitions and I am “mildly” terrified.

In my head, it is a piano song, and my fingers are reaching for the next key, and a brown-eyed woman who breathes smoke and water and air with equal ease is watching, and there is a stillness in the air that tastes of September lurching into October.

So suddenly I am reliving so many years all at once.

Breathe deep

I am scared of, but will not falter in the face of, my ambition.

Go.

Terrible things happen to good people every day.
Consequentially, I am not one of the good people.
I am one of the terrible things.

Happy Halloween everyone! Have some animal and pumpkin cuteness to celebrate today. The animal residents at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle Washington, and zoos all around the globe, got to enjoy some tasty treats for the holiday. [Source]

I feel like Moar Ghosts N Stuff by Deadmau5 should be the Evil Supply Co theme song. Just listen to the beginning of it and tell that isn’t the perfect intro for a villain.

I love that song, and Deadmau5 is freaking great.

Agreed on Scrappy. Incorporated is surprisingly good and I may own every original on my computer.

The newest one is great. I need to catch up on it, but from what I’ve seen it’s REALLY well done.

evilsoutherngentleman:

I’m looking for more information on Dia de los Muertos because I find the holiday mesmerizing and beautiful. The amount I know is a PALTRY SMIDGEN of what I want to know.

I received this note/link from huesitititos last night AND MUST SHARE BECAUSE IT’S AMAZING.

If you only have two minutes, then skip to the time frame mentioned to hear the soul-aching song. But then punch whatever responsibilities are in the face so you can re-watch the entire thing twice.

“It is a short animation that includes an adaptation of a very popular Mexican Character, “La Catrina.” She was first created as an illustration moicking the wealthy by José Guadalupe Posada. With time, this illustration has passed by many adaptations, including a mural by Diego Rivera, the branding and primary character of the National Museum of Death and “Festival of the Skulls” both in the Mexican state of Aguascalientes. Well, I was born in Aguascalientes and I can go on forever; I love the topic!

This is the entire animation. Between the 4:40 mark and the 7:40 mark, an adaptation of Catrina shows up singing a traditional song, “llorona” (weeping lady). This song is very old, has many adaptations. In essence, it pays many compliments to women and often has a tragic tendency in the lyrics. This one starts singing something along the lines “I don’t know what is wrong with the cemetery flowers, llorona… when the wind moves they appear to be weeping.”

Blogged on the weekend. Want to make sure it doesn’t get missed.

Celebrating Hey Sexy Week, here at DailyOKStupid, allllll week long.

Love me some typography and bad tropes.

I want for nothing.

It’s crazy cold and I am at home in pajamas about to bake Halloween cookies.

My life is simple and hella weird and very enjoyable.

Working on it.

You kids and your internets. I respect that — but sometimes ink, water, and blood are what is needed!

Space, guys… SPACE!!!!

This whole notion of doing only work that you love has always affronted me but I’ve lacked the articulation to be able to explain my objections. Only the top levels of developed world society can really consider that as an option. Almost all of the world has to labor just to survive. It just has always seemed so snobbish to me to think that people should all aspire to having only rewarding work to do to support themselves.

I believe in the reward of doing honest work in an honest way—that’s satisfying to me, even if I can’t always say I enjoy it. My work is not significant or important on a global scale, and I know it. But I do it pretty well.

I’ve probably told you the story of my wonderful professor, Russ Kelly, in my first year of college. One day he brought in a newspaper article about the wage increase for garbage workers in San Francisco that had recently passed. He pointed out that someday, even if we did well in college, that we may end up doing something like that because it paid well and we needed the money. But he said that a liberal education is for the enrichment of your heart and your brain, and it’s meant to give you something to think about, and a way to think about it, for the rest of your life. And he said that if someday you work as a garbage collector, you can enjoy thinking about Plato.

That’s the kind of advice that was actually helpful.

My mom (who is clearly the best) in an email this morning. ❤ (via slodwick)

Hi Aunt Jilli! I sent you this message to your ask box because I really would like for you to get this message. I am a person with odd tendencies. Not exactly goth, but I am drawn to darker things. Recently I wondered what would happen if I had children. How do I raise them? Do I continue with my love of oddities, or do I tone it down? I have heard you do not have children, but you have friends with children. Could you give me some advice?

gothiccharmschool:

Surprise, I’ve written about this on the main Gothic Charm School site!

I hope those posts give you some good advice. 🙂

Just found in my notes

My personal goal is to release 1-3 OBITUARY articles a week, and in prep, I try to write one a day (I have a 80-90% success rate) in order to create a giant back log.

I just found the outline for “13 Halloween Essays” with notes. Wrote this out months ago. Oh holy shit brew me more coffee.

Keep your old notes, my friends. Evil Supply Co. began, nameless and shapeless, twelve years before it was unleashed to the public.

Anyone who wants “Once Upon a Dream” in iTunes

brokenponycutiemark:

If you bought it in the Google Play store yesterday for free, you can download it TWICE.

You only need to download it ONCE – to whatever computer you have iTunes installed on.

Once it’s done being downloaded, copy it into the “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder, and VOILA. 

(I’m repeating these instructions in case there are people who don’t know this feature exists.)

So those of us NOT in the Android ecosystem are NOT locked out of this little promotional offer. WHEE.

How many episodes of Scooby doo have you seen?

There are so many different series and movies… I have no idea. They are all great.

Except Scrappy Doo.

Imagine it!

An entire day spent on Dracula, on Haunted Horseman! On Edward Gorey! Frankenstein’s Monster! An entire day of ghosts and ghouls and witches and monsters!

Ah, erm, every day is like this in hm home/business. Just hit me.

Boy keeps talking like that his tongue will get sunburn

On a scale of “Foghorn Leghorn” to “Fox News” how little do you know about what is going on?

Current mood: Scooby Doo has a “Headless Horseman” movie and I can watch it in 30 minutes.

(in response to this post)

Agreed.

There is nothing I can accurately add to any lore about Dia de los Muertos. At all. And there is VERY LITTLE I can accurately report on.

When it comes to these sorts of situations, I’m going to find writers from the culture I want to talk about. It’s an amazing holiday that I (personally) cannot do justice — but I can find people who can!

One final note from Atticus for the day

evilsupplyco:

I have on my list of “to dos” today to ship out a pile of orders, continue exploration on several art themes, practice drawing, practice writing, and explore several UX items (nerd talk for “how a website works when you use it”)

But I want to pause a moment and say something I have been meaning to say for quite some time.

This is both to the crew who help everyday, the advisers who listen to me ramble and keep me on track, and the ever growing audience:

Get back to work I love you with all of my cold, black heart. Thank you for everything you do, read, touch, build, draw, write, create, sew, explore, ramble.

We are at a point in history with the dark forces of the Abyss can reach into our world and pluck their way deeper into the hearts of the mortal and the fey in more meaningful ways than ever before.

We are building something incredible, something cold and protected with black thorns, poison green glyphs, something that hums in time with the rotation of distant stars.

Thank you.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for me to get back to work.
