I want these Terrifier pop figures so much I’m willing to endure ungodly things to acquire them.
I’d even watch Twilight.

This is Little Art with my fidget toy.
To many people, my fidget toy may seem like it’s just “a childish toy” - but it is so much more, & I’ll explain why.
I use my fidget toy to stim - something important to me as an autistic person.

I watched Spin the Bottle and WOW I thought modern horror was better than this!
The worst part was a funeral… When a character said they should play because it’s “what she would have wanted”… then they played spin the bottle AT SOMEONE’S WAKE!
What recent horror release would you recommend?

I’m in the process of collating all my notes I’ve made from watching horror movies for my book on horror tropes..
My notes - and this is just my notes - currently total 32,185 words 👀
Do you think I have enough to start writing the first draft yet? ✍️

I introduced Rosie to Little Art today.
I thought it might be a good idea… thought maybe Rosie could be a good influence… I only left them alone for a minute…
Rosie hasn’t stopped looking at me like this since 😳

It’s seven years since The Sensitives reached a best seller spot in the US for the first time!
It still had the original cover…
Only 5 out of 8 books in the series had been published…
And it only had 9 customer reviews… Today it has over 1,300!
I had no idea how this book would change my life 😊

2013 Carrie is my go to comfort movie…
I find it oddly cathartic.
She doesn’t just take revenge on her abusers; she takes revenge on the entire system & structure that enabled that abuse.
There’s nothing more relaxing than watching her rage against her Othering!

Dear Internet,
I am having tuna pasta today.
This is a photo of my pasta. I’m quite looking forward to it.
Me sharing this does not mean I’m shoving tuna pasta in your face.
I am simply enjoying my tuna pasta & celebrating it with others.
If tuna pasta isn’t your thing, just keep scrolling.

As preparation for writing the next Gerald story, I have begun recording the audiobook for This Book is Full of More Bodies 🎙️
I do enjoy writing this character - but I forgot how nasty he is!

I use the same YouTube account to watch behind-the-scenes videos of Terrifier for me, & play baby songs for my daughter.
I now live in a world where the algorithm shows me Ms Rachel & Michael Myers side by side.
Honestly, it feels right.

I put Ms Rachel on for our daughter.
My partner & I had contrasting reactions to Ms Rachel.
Her’s:
“This is so irritating!
It’s like she’s trying to do these innuendos on purpose!
We’re not going to have to put up with this every day now are we?
It SO annoying.”
Mine:
“…I think I love her.”
