Hi, I'm bad at talking to people, especially online, but I make comics and maybe it'd be nice to read what you people think, so I'm putting myself in the void? Will it echo or will it engulf me and regurgitate silence?

#I love to take one semi shaped thought then trip and fall and end up with a ten page mystery meat sandwich. #if you have ideas I could fall down the stairs to-pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease-am I rizzing anyone yet-pleasepleasepleaseple #my askbox is open #anyway. hazbin hotel fans im looking at you. #unrelated but I feel like the void would have tumblr #my art #art post #hazbin hotel #alastor #ALTRUIIIST DIED FOR HIS FRIEEEEEEEENDS SORRY TO DISAPPOIIIINTTTT #if that man touches one feeling with a ten foot poll he will combust #that said lets watch him go up in flames #note says things #doodles #appleradio #duckiedeer #im not sure what to feel about the duckiedeer tag #id go with Two Clowns One Circus myself #you know what yeah that'll be my tag for them #two clowns one circus #hazbin lucifer #hazbin alastor #hellaverse #vivziepop #anyway if youre still reading this-hi! im going to stop typing now. have a good one

i just reblogged that post about saying nice things abt prev but i wanna send an ask too, so: thank you for being one of the only people to be correct about the winchester mystery house and sarah herself!! so many people spread the stories of her being weird/crazy/whatever when she was just. a woman who suffered some tragedies and liked architecture.

i went on a tour of graceland recently and was intrigued by how they barely talked about elvis as a person, whereas winchester tours are basically a trap where you think you're getting to explore a weird fucked up house but actually you're going to hear about how wonderful sarah winchester was for an hour and if you say anything mean about her design skills one of the tour guides will push you out the door to nowhere.

i go through your winchester tag sometimes when i'm nostalgic and missing the house (i got laid off during quarantine) and it's just nice to see that even people who didn't devote years of their lives to the house can genuinely understand and appreciate it.

I'm so glad it's gotten better! Someone once anonymously told me the guides had to sign a contract saying they would only stick to the story made up by that ridiculous carnie family that bought her house in the 1920s, and even though it was an anon and therefore unverifiable...I believe it, sadly. For Profits often are more about...well, profit. As opposed to history. But it's good to know the guides care about getting the truth out there.

In Sarah Winchester I see a woman whose character assassination for being different(tm) has carried on after death. It's not that she was perfect- far be it from me to lay perfection at the feet of a white 19th-century gun fortune heiress -but she seems like a genuinely caring person in many ways, about her workers and her community. She was an unattached woman of means with an unconventional hobby (architecture), though, and that seems to have made wagging tongues nervous. During her lifetime that meant claiming she thought she'd live forever if construction never ceased (it did, several times), and after- well. The tale of the mad widow fleeing from invisible ghosts has come to prevail.

It feels unfair to me that she should forever be remembered by what her detractors said about her, instead of her own triumphs and setbacks, merits and flaws. And that her beautiful house, where she poured so much love and attention, should be so misrepresented. I'm glad people are trying to fix the narrative.

#sarah winchester #ask #winchester mystery house #lakesandquarries #spoiler alert for those who didn't know: she was NOT trying to hide from ghosts of Winchester rifle victims #she was just passionate about architecture and had the money to make that her Hobby #it's widely believed among historians that the 'doors and stairs to nowhere' are remnants of house sections destroyed in the #1906 earthquake and never rebuilt #the 'seance room' I've been told is just an attic storage room converted after her death- she would have held seances in the parlor #with tea to follow #like a normal Victorian

#skrållan is a puzzle fiend. i wish i knew why. she just LOVES laying on em. and getting in the way. shes always so cuddly during puzzle time #its really cute but she likes being in the inconvenient spots bc shes a cat but damn i love when shes all cuddly #shes the one you get to pet the least. the most stand off-ish? shes just very picky about when its okay or not to touch her #outside is okay. puzzle time is okay. curled up in bed is okay. sometimes she lays on the stairs and that is sometimes okay. otherwise she #does the cat dip or whatever you wanna call it. she just becomes liquid fr #mylittleguys #also yes shes constantly fucking up the puzzle progress whether that is by hindering it completely by laying in the way or wrecking the mat #p sure she is responsible for all of the pieces that mysteriously disappear never to be seen again

Do y’all ever look at a duo in media that just absolutely bully the shit out of each other and never apologize for it and just go “ah perfect, an accurate sibling relationship”.

Like, I don’t give a shit they aren’t canonically related, that’s the most realistic sibling thing in the world so they’re siblings now. I don’t make the rules.

David being subtly jealous is one of my favourite things in the Truly Devious books!

Homeboy came running as soon as he saw his girl dancing with someone else😭

No no no no you know who I’m unhinged about

SARAH WINCHESTER

AKA AN ARCHITECTURE ENTHUSIAST AND PHILANTHROPIST WHOSE MEMORY GOT ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED BY A CARNIE FAMILY WHO TURNED HER HOUSE INTO A CASH COW AND ALLEGEDLY STILL MAKE THE TOUR GUIDES SIGN CONTRACTS PROMISING TO STICK TO THEIR LIES INTERPRETATION

THE STORY ABOUT HER ~HIDING FROM VENGEFUL GHOSTS~ DIDN’T EVEN EXIST DURING HER LIFETIME IN TABLOIDS THAT MADE UP NONSENSE ABOUT HER OKAY

AS FAR AS I’M AWARE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE SHE EVER THOUGHT THAT

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

#history #sarah winchester #winchester mystery house #‘but stairs to nowhere!!!’ the San Francisco earthquake- have you heard of it #’but the mystical symbolism!!!’ what people can’t have interests? #’but construction never stopped until she died!!!’ it did. several times. also again- that was her HOBBY #she was HYPER-RICH AND INTO ARCHITECTURE
