Extremely small artist focused on linocuts and enamel pins. In my spare time I run a shop named for the headgear of a certain medieval warlord. 🧛👒 Vladhat.com

Here's what you might expect from this account. Mainly linocuts and enamel pins. #art #horror #crafts

Three linocuts- bride of Frankenstein, wicked Witch, and Countess Dracula

Sometimes I remember that dude on whatever horror subreddit who jumped in to mansplain some ultra basic plot point of Dracula to me while apparently unaware that my handle was a slightly less than obvious Dracula reference.

there is a kind of person who does not think any non-violent protest is legitimate and more often than not, they are the kind of person who will not show up to any protest, violent *or* non-violent

"This isn't that bizarre haunted knight vanity project from that weird guy that Norman Reedus, Udo Kier, and David Carradine were inexplicably involved with so it won't be the most painful movie I've ever sat through," I say as I roll the dice yet again.

"Well this isn't Evil Bong so it can't be the worst film I'll ever watch," I keep assuring myself, naively.

There are a lot of people especially in recent years who cling to the idea of "make sure your own oxygen mask is secured" while conveniently forgetting the back half of that instruction is "before helping others." It's not sustainable to take shots while also refusing to contribute to the community.

Correct. And if you want even more definitive proof, Herzog waited until the the final second on the copyright clock ran out to do his 1979 Nosferatu remake in which Orlok's named Dracula.

Whichever delusional idiot ends up being the bag-holder for this regime once all this is over is gonna be absolutely blindsided.

Becoming grievously offended is also pretty functionally useless in the real world unless you have an action plan.

Shades of gray are simply not allowed to exist on social media, even though denying them is massively self-defeating in the real world.

Because we're nearly ten years into the Trump era, there's a whole generation right now that largely has zero concept that when the basic machine of government is functioning properly you never hear about it.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

I've been genuinely confused by accounts like this throwing a fit that healthcare apparently isn't an important issue and shouldn't be the focus? I dunno, bruh, I think it might actually be a pretty big one for a lot of people...

People have always been like this. Just now they have unprecedented ability to broadcast their Inside Thoughts and find validation thanks to The Internet.

The height difference between Thune and Johnson is never not funny.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Johnson's come to realize there are multiple Glonzos seated amongst his ranks and they've been steadily chewing through their harnesses.

I'll spare you an essay, but IMO there's only one truly unwatchable Hellraiser. The others you usually get at least one good set piece, familiar young faces, or an honest attempt at a story and reasonably consistent rules. Corn it's like "what if a haunted apartment building but near corn?"

Em Kait @vladhat.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks. I thought doing Hellraiser would have better prepared me for the gauntlet but Corn got brutal fast.

I white-knuckled through every Children of the Corn movie and by the third one through criteria is literally "do children appear?" and "is there occasionally ambient corn?"
