New artwork for Skin Crawl #3. Pro-tip. Don’t draw oversized pages. Takes WAY too long. I have no idea how Wally Wood was able to do it. #skincrawl #indycomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVH0KnvVvY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I read your new fic this morning and immediately forgot about it but i just remembered and am feeling very bad now very very bad.
THAT SURE IS THE FEELING HUH. very honored to have achieved "i thought about this a few hours after reading it and got physically sick" status. thank u 🥰
using this testimonial to plug the fic: it will make you feel very bad very very bad.
the premise: AU where luz has been raised as a princess by belos from a young age, this fic involves him telling her about the grimwalkers through some hands-on murder demonstrations. and it also involves her relationship with hunter. and her relationship with the need to rationalize that belos is not a bad parent.
while writing it i was like "this is.... among the worst things i've written. everything about this is so viscerally fucking awful" but then was like "well, i Always think that during the writing process, and then the story ends up not that bad." but this one i reread with fresh eyes just now and i'm like. OH. OH GOD.
i still cant believe one of my biggest posts ever was t*rfs dogpiling my venting about detr*ns identity bc its rhetoric as a political identity hurts trans people and the dramatic irony of me having socially detransitioned so i fucking know what im talking about and have the right to be talking about it. i dont talk about that aspect of my identity and i dont "identify" that way specifically because of that shit
@skinner’s SKIN CRAWL Issue 2 is up to pre-order on Kickstarter! Hit the link in his profile! I helped with layouts on one of the stories. You need to back it because I need to eat. Turds. Big ones. #skinner #skincrawl #comicbooks #comics (at Lakewood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTDQRlvmBS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
i love old weird retro style horror games, so i was watching a couple of youtube playlists and found this gem. The game is called Skincrawlers!, if you like spiders and tv like me i recommend you play this game
(excuse the bad shading and colour or lack there of)
disturbing twists in stories have diminishing returns, like there's an optimal point to reach where you just hollow out your audience completely but piling on more darkness after that has less and less benefit & runs the risk of becoming parodic. Park Chan-Wook made incest into a cold skincrawling twist, Spike Lee tried to up the ante with even more incest in the remake and made the funniest fucking thing ever. i'm not anti shockhorror, but tread carefully.
i decided to write a bit anyway since i did some dishes and i can’t sleep and clearly the misery is not good for me. as usual it’s nice to write horror-adjacent stuff when i feel physically bad. i’m laying here like “okay but how horrific exactly should this scene be” girl you just pulled up the grimwalker lab scenes in ftf for visual reference. you gotta embrace it.
