I've kind of come full circle. Every year on my birthday I used to get a gift card to a book store, then I went through a phase of wanting other things as presents. Now, all I want for my birthday are books again

If you ever see me post something that says like "Text Post 6" or "Mushroom Photo" it's because I scheduled a placeholder post ahead of time, and then forgot to go back and change it lmao

This year has not been a very good year for reading. I've been in SUCH a slump since August, and I don't think the books I've been reading are very good. I haven't had a 4 star read in what feels like yearsssss

I had a goal to hit 10k subs on YouTube by the end of this year, and I had absolutely NO HOPE I was going to hit it. BUT I DID AND I'M LITERALLY SHOCKED! AND THRILLED OF COURSE! YAY!

I've been seeing a LOT of people doing like, 50 mini paintings in X amount of time challenges recently. Is that the new art trend? I like seeing it but I'm DEFINITELY not doing anything like that any time soon, lol.

A LITERARY APOTHECARY MEMBERS Don't forget to read this month's book selection: I'll Be Waiting by Kelley Armstrong Meeting on Nov 29th, 2PM EST #horrorbookclub Join the club! discord.gg/j54R88WdBE

Headed to the bookstore to buy some presents I am going to go entirely broke, and it will be worth it

Do you have a strong opinion about this movie? A lot of people HATED it when it came out, but I've seen a lot of re-examination of it online. While I guessed the twists fairly early on, I still enjoyed the movie overall. What about you? #thevillage #horrorart #horrormovies

It's my birthday! I'm official 26 years olddddd!

Okay, maybe I'm just a freak. I read Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh and all the reviews are about how filthy and disgusting it was. I just... wasn't that disgusted? Was it the cannibalism? Or the breastfeeding? The grape thing was pretty nasty, but that's really the only thing that got me

I did hear somewhere that the cast did a "bootcamp" to immerse themselves in the late 1800's way of life that involved things like churning butter and wood-carving. I don't know if that's true, but I do think it's a bit hilarious #thevillage #horrorart #horrormovies

Hello Acolytes! It's my BIRTHDAY WEEK! I'm excited to stream on Wednesday! I'm scheduled to stream at 2pm, but I might start earlier? It was a crazy week last week with that flooding. Hoping this week will be chill in comparison YouTube www.youtube.com/@afterplague Twitch www.twitch.tv/afterplague

We're officially in November now, so let's take a look back on this year's Inktober and see how we did! Which took the longest? Which were my favorites? Which were crowd pleasers? Got any suggestions? Leave them in the comments! #inktober #inktober2026 #horrormovies #horrorart #Inktoberwrapup

Shoutout to my dad who popped into one of my livestreams, didn't type a single word in chat, but texted me "Are you sure you should be cursing on your livestream?" That's actually hilarious.

So many teeth... SO many teeth. This one took FOREVERRR This design is insanely cool, though, and I find it super creepy. So, great job VFX & concepting team. I'm horrified. #inktober #inktober2026 #smile2 #horrorart #horrormovies

I think this might be the Inktober illustration that's taken me the longest to complete so far. It's ALL THOSE TEETH! Fun fact! The actress for Skye Riley, Naomi Scott, released an album in character to really get into Skye's head. #inktober #inktober2026 #smile2 #horrorart #horrormovies

If these social media apps mark my shit as AI-Generated ONE MORE TIME after I spent HOURS WORK ON IT... I'm going to start eating data centers. One brick at a time

Fun fact! Orange has been my LEAST used color in this Inktober 2026 Collection so far. I think it's because orange ends up looking really "natural" to me Second fun fact: I used Spider-Man poses as references for the Crawlers, lol. #inktober #inktober2026 #thedescent #horrorart

Traditionally, creatures like the Crawlers would have been played by dancers. However, Marshall approached actors he worked with on his previous film, Dog Soldiers, because they could give the crawlers stronger personalities. #inktober #inktober2026 #thedescent #horrorart

I think I'm the exact gamer that Hardcore Gamers hate I just want a mild, repetitive experience that I can take at a leisurely and slightly confused pace. No time limits, no reaction time, no adrenaline. Just vibes

Shoutout to my library. I love you so much. You're telling me I get access to this huge amount of books for FREE? Kiss me on the mouth, Library. I love you

Pretty sure it's NOT normal for your fingers to go numb from drawing so much, but I'm going to ignore that a lil bit

So fucked up that we have to actively drink enough water. Like, we're just not thirsty enough naturally to drink the proper 64oz. It's gotta be a whole THING

Something about the colors for this one were SUCH a pain in the ass, but I think we got there. The VFX team HAD to change the design of the creature's legs because in animation it looked like it was "skittering" around really weirdly instead of running #inktober #inktober2026 #theritual #horrorart

Fun fact, the fact that the crew essentially had to build part of a convenience store in the middle of the forest, including taping fluorescent lights to trees, to create some of the dreamier sequences. #inktober #Inktober2026 #theritual #horrorart #horrormovies

Hello Acolytes! WOO this is a busy schedule! It's mostly because I have myself scheduled to stream on Halloween. I have a couple sketches ready to go, so let's finish October strong with some more spooky fun art. #twitchartist YouTube: www.youtube.com/@afterplague Twitch: www.twitch.tv/afterplague

All I do is draw, draw, draw no matter what

This movie was better than I was expecting! I really enjoy smart, capable, thoughtful protagonists, and Finney really was that. He thought through every issue in a way that made perfect sense, and his performance was so good too. Would recommend. #inktober #inktober2026 #theblackphone #horrorart

I wonder what happened to the 30 masks they made for this production. There's no way they kept them all, so I'm sure a whole bunch of cast and crew have them lol. #inktober #inktober2026 #theblackphone #horrorart #horrormovies

Why is my reaction when I'm not feeling well to eat a rice cake? I swear it's never made me feel any less sick, but my first thought when I have a stomachache is "Maybe I should eat a rice cake."
