Just saw someone get arrested in an A&W parking lot. A shame to see Papa and his crime family claim another.

I'm Winter, a horror writer, delving into the world of HORLAV, a world equally terrifying and weird.
A context post for the world of Horlav, and, by extension, STAINED GLASS VIAL.

Drove through a rez today. Beautiful, mostly untouched land with an ethereal sky. But it felt angry. Not the people, though I know they do. The land. It felt frustrated, confined. Like it knew it should be bigger than it is.

Day 7 (missed yesterday my bad work was long): Desperate Measures, Marianas Trench

I've been on my Marianas Trench shit lately. Maybe it's nostalgia (maybe it's Maybelline)

Day 6: Kotov Syndrome, Rise Against

I love Rise Against's entire discography. I grew up on Appeal To Reason: this is my favorite song there.

Today, I saw a student laying on the concrete outside the playground, face up. I approached and asked him "hey man what's up?"

He responded, "Heck my stupid chungus life bro. This fuckin' sucks." It took everything i had to not burst out laughing.

Day 4: Thin Distance, Noisescream

Noisecream goes so fucking hard. This song is a good example of it, but like in a dramatic way. It's a good writing or drawing song I can't lie

Day 3: TYRANTS BETTER RUN, rj Lake, Lake Savage

The I Am Your Beast soundtrack is underrated as is. I'd argue this is the flagship song of the album and it fucks

Horlav is the global leader in the pursuit of Alchemy. Their city crest represents just that.

This is the Horlav City Crest as seen on the boot screen of a public VIU.
