Chapter 20 of Varney the Vampire is up on the Antiques Freaks Patreon!
Wherein our friend Tarra @wellntruly joins us for a very early draft of Interview with the Vampire.
Tune in for Sir Francis Varney answering the question no one asked: what would it be like if someone were a cross between Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the It’s Free Real Estate guy
A couple reads for your winter weekend:
“Hache Carrillo was the most brilliant, generous writing professor I’ve ever had. When he passed away, I was devastated—then stunned to learn his life story was a work of fiction. Do these fabrications invalidate his influence?” – The Secret Life of H.G. Carrillo, by Paula Mejía for Rolling Stone
And, by the ‘celebrated novelist’ who teaches at my own alma mater (seemingly with less identity hoaxes, so far at least): Jim Shepard’s short story Love and Hydrogen, about a gay love affair on the Hindenburg. Happy Valentine’s Day.
“‘Very good,’ I said coldly. ‘In that case, tinkerty-tonk.’ And I meant it to sting.”
— Bertie Wooster in Right Ho, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse (1934)

would love to see more non-sexualized nudity like this in art. this, right here? this is every woman: just at home relaxing with her tits out. she doesn’t have her tits out to please anybody but herself–she’s lounging around, she’s hanging out with her cat, she has her tits out just because. that’s a whole mood. that’s relatable, realistic, and very human. and it’s so superior to the massive amount of art we have of women frolicking around with their backs arched to appeal to the male gaze. lady just doesn’t wanna wear a bra. just wants to lounge around with a book and a cat and her tits just hanging. respect
So I was trying to figure out what the artist was portraying here or what was going on and I couldn’t find a lot of info but I did find More
Naked ladies vibing with books and food seems to be her thing and I’m here for it.
This makes an incredible and resounding amount of sense
forgot about bilbo’s 5-star tripadvisor review of rivendell
