things the ghandom might find enjoyable / should check out imo, in no particular order:
the netflix miniseries midnight mass, because it is everything an excellent take on profound gothic horror and the intricacies of religious fanaticism and trauma should (imo) be. excellently written characters that feel like real people and not just narrative tools. also, there's a morally corrupt puppy-eyed middle-aged priest. the trailer dropped four years ago and i still think about it/rewatch it sometimes. and like. i promise, unless you've already heard about it and know the lore, it's not what you think it is.
gustave dorรฉ's prints โฆ you've likely seen his illustrations for milton's paradise lost
i'm not saying you should check out paradise lost. because you know about paradise lost + it can be a tiring read. but,
anatole france's the revolt of the angels!! and if not the book itself, then some type of analysis of it. it's like paradise lost's cynical little sister without milton's fierce denial lmao
ALSO. VERY IMPORTANT. charles baudelaire's flowers of evil. terzo's songs openly referenced parts of baudelaire's poems!!! and it goes beyond that!!! for example, ร une madone is pretty much just the lyrics/"plot"/aesthetic of umbra, lmao
ryan gosling (YEP) and zach shield's incredible 2009's music project / rock duo dead man's bones. i swear they put poe's poems + crack + cemetery air into that thing. every song is so distinctive + feels like a gothic short story. the album has ghosts, choirs, howling and monsters of all making, and sometimes it gets very groovy.
speaking of musicโluciferian light orchestra. i could go on and on about their songs, but basically imagine an alternative universe in which the ghurch is... different, and the main vocalist is female lmao. their music sound like early-era gonst to me, very opus-coded. and they know their shit!!!! it's not just luciferian references for the sake of #thespooks only; they actually use old testament and pagan references very deliberately. church of carmel is basically sister of sin recruitment propaganda... other songs, such as serpent messiah, sound like satanic worship hymns. the vocalist is great and the guitars are very tasty.
valencia grace's most recent works. i've mentioned her very recentlyโshe's basically like a tradgoth european chappell roan?? different vocal range and more electronic-opera-adjacent. her newest mv opens with about three minutes of a silent film backstory and then turns into glittery camp.
the met's 2018 heavenly bodies exhibitionโbasically an art/fashion collab with the vatican museums, lmao

Hi everyone I kinda feel creatively burnt-out these days. I don't want my working on my AU to stop being fun and recently I've felt like I put too much pressure on myself about it while simultaneously not drawing enough. I've put on hold some drawing projects because I can't bring myself to do it. I guess I'll post again when the urge comes back but right now it's very much not there.
On the other hand, the fanfic is still in progress and I might begin to post it before it's actually finished, so there's that ๐ฅณ (not saying this as a tease โ I just want to be sufficiently ahead to post chapters regularly, so I still have to finish editing some parts and can't say when exactly I'll start posting) I wanted to wait for it to be fully finished before posting to ensure there were no inconsistencies, typos etc., but right now I'm just scared I'll lose my motivation before it's completed. If I do chapter art I guess I'll do it whenever, and not for the drop of each chapter.
Sorry it's not great news. I'm forever grateful to each and every person who has expressed their interest over the last year, it's given me so much joy <3
This is NOT a goodbye post I want to finish this fic because it's a story I want to tell, but I guess I have to lower my own expectations for this AU in terms of art for a moment. It does not please me but I'm not in a good place right now about my own capacity to draw so I don't want to spoil the pleasure I derive from my AU. I hope it makes sense? I'm still around to reblog other people's art and answer messages/asks ๐

The scene in Shrek 2 when the Fairy Godmother sings I need a Hero when the giant gingerbread man attacks the castle is still the greatest scene in cinema of all times
