Since it looks like I’ll be spending more time here, it’s time for a reintroduction! Hi, I’m Whimsy and I’m a writer and reviewer with a penchant for the gothic, cosmic horror, and dark fantasy. Sometimes I talk about my latest obsessions on my Youtube channel.

These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art
Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth whose back is turned to us, and Macbeth posed towards us with his hand on the back of his wife's neck. The long cut in the back of her dress reveals skin in the shape of a sword/dagger that Macbeth seems to be holding. Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth facing us with her cleavage cut into three pointy triangles. Macbeth is kneeling in front of her, away from us, his face in his wife's chest. The exposed skin of Lady Macbeth looks like a crown that aligns with the top of Macbeth's head.

I'm heartbroken right now. The whole fishing industry needs to look into more sustainable methods because that poor baby deserved better.

it kills me that emerald fennel's wuthering heights is going to be ass, because that charlie xcx song "house" is seething with all the gothic ugliness I require in this story.

It's chic, it's tasteful, and it's dominating the literary landscape: cannibalism. Readers are hungry and author @wenyilee.bsky.social examines its relationship to revenge, exploitation, and desire 🥩

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

a wandering knight, drawn to the quiet of the forest. her touch may either be a blessing or a curse.

#art
a lone knight swathed in green armour stands in the dark, knee deep in water, holding an axe. from where she holds it, the metal of her weapon is slowly transforming into sprouting leaves and vines. behind her are several weapons that have long since turned into twisting branches that blend in with the surrounding flora. roots that resemble clawed hands cling to the handles of these weapons.

I have been lucky to be in London at the exact same time as the exhibit for @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. I was also lucky enough to see it on the big screen a week ago and I’m STILL thinking about it. I’m obsessed with it. This is how you do it, with passion

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while!

Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!
