That's kind of like the character select screen from a video game but for the inverse of that, you'd have to look at anglerfish.

Lately I've been playing one of the older games in my Steam Library and this time it's Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption! It's an RPG but the story takes place in two eras between the Middle Ages and then 1999 before Y2K. Definitely loved the gameplay plus the characters you meet along the way.

A brujah, a brujah, a toreador, and a nosferatu.

Also would add some of the stories in Skin Thief by @sillysyntax.bsky.social I think could be comped to The Hunger as well and give it a chance which you can find here: www.neonhemlock.com/books/skin-t...

Skin Thief. Ghostly lady hugging a lady.

Lately discovered this old anthology series called The Hunger. Was surprised later that some of the episodes were also originally short stories by Gemma Files and other horror icons of the 90s like Tanith Lee. Highly recommend checking this out!

THE HUNGER. David Bowie above the title with two women at the bottom.

THE HUNGER. Terrance Stamp in a mad scientist outfit. Two women with one staring to the viewer and one looking away.

Some Recent Reads I've enjoyed lately are Phrogger by @candacenola.bsky.social Ex-Boogeyman by Kristopher Triana Both were clever throwbacks but one was for an old video game and the other was for slasher movies of the 80s and 90s. Thanks to both for writing these books! #splatterpunk #horror

You've seen Dara's inspiration map, now here are some of the characters that influenced Savita's creation. Character art by @goldeldarka.bsky.social

Ry@moonlightscribble· Apr 8

Here are some of the characters that influenced Dara's creation and I'll give two away but can you guess the rest? The one at the bottom left is of Harriet by @mynqzo.bsky.social and of Lucy at the center left by @grumpy-tg.bsky.social

From Left to right: Top left, a woman with a bobcut wearing a purple shirt with a magenta dress skirt. Center Top, an alien covered in modest clothing. Top right, a redheaded princess. Center left, A blonde witch with some black or brunette tips. Center, A green skinned fantasy creature. Top Right, A girl with wind blown hair. Bottom left, A vampire near a lantern. Bottom center, A nurse with a white cap on her head. Bottom right, a redheaded supervillain in a green outfit.

Here's the full art that @varnie.vamp made of an OC in an upcoming story I've been working on. But allow me to introduce Dara, the witch of Summer Ash! But you can learn more about her involvement in the story I'm writing when I make that big announcement I've been hyping.

I have a big announcement coming but I'd thought I drop this sketch of a character that's going to be significant in an upcoming project that's basically my big one for the summer. But the complete art is coming later this week. and it's by @plague-of-varnie.bsky.social

Skin Thief by @sillysyntax.bsky.social or No Will Come Back for Us by @premeemohamed.com but what if they were made into an anthology TV series format like Masters of Horror, The Outer Limits, or Black Mirror. Or some stories individually adapted as their own miniseries or episodic serial format.

Book cover of Suzan Palumbo's Skin Thief. Author name up top and title in the middle. A feminine figure being embraced by a ghostly figure in a dark green background.

Book cover of No One Will Come Back for Us and Other Stories by Premee Mohamed. Title goes from top to bottom with the author's name at the bottom. Image depicts two tentacles with a astronaut near the title.

Ry@moonlightscribble· Dec 22

Oh it's even sillier than that. His character is called The Undying and his real name is Mark Faba. It's quite a punny name.

Ry@moonlightscribble· Aug 13

Found this really sweet story last night by @helenastacy.bsky.social and I enjoyed reading it. Definitely Rose and Kyle were such a great couple. I hope to see more to this series and from this author.

Ry@moonlightscribble· Jun 16

Read this short horrormance by @authordmniccoli.bsky.social last night and enjoyed it! Really liked the dynamics of these two and refreshing to see a tall goth lady x short guy dynamic.

Ry@moonlightscribble· Apr 20

Here's art of a recent OC I had made for a future WIP by @Varnie.Vamp from IG! This is Vincent, a vampire character that inspired by Morbius from Marvel and somewhat Vampire: The Masquerade.

A pale skinned, red eyed vampire with pointed ears with greying streaked black hair. He wears a purple coat with a green shirt underneath with a black tie. He has belt straps around the ends and steel toed boots.

Ry@moonlightscribble· Jan 12

So far this week I made 8 new character sheets and some were lost last year but remade with more expanded or revised info. Haven't quite drafted but I have focused on creating and restoring more OCs since the year began. And some of these were for JumbieWIP but I added a two news OCs to the folder.

List of OC character sheets that I made this week going from the top: Charnel, Doris Willows, Jenny Oh, Nora Lisa, Sarabeth Davis, Antonina, and Connor Harrington

Here's a piece of art by @yorsyh.bsky.social for #JumbieWIP featuring the FMC of the book!

Tagline Text reads: Samantha Khemraj, Framed for Murder, Now Possessed By a Voice From the Past Who Knows what Really Happened. Jumbie Catchers.

This was the book I was working on for a long time: HUNTER: THE RECKONING or SUPERNATURAL x Black Water Sister -A family obsession -Haunted sibling duo with animal familiar -A Cassie Robinson(from SPN) inspired LI -Indo-Caribbean folklore Thanks to @yasminejibril.bsky.social for the prompt.

Above title reads as: A Guide To Jumbie Catchers

Above says PITCH in bold letters
Then: Dale and Savita Khemraj lived in their family home back in New Jersey but they lost it in a house fire after running away that same night for different reasons. For aloof Dale, it was his dad's obsession with a folk scholar that mysteriously disappeared a long time ago. Today it's an obsession that's now passed onto him as it may hold the key to redeeming a past transgression. For Savita it was that same dad that caused her much torment and suffering to her mom. Today she's grappling with blackouts with gaps in her memory after a childhood trip to her extended family long ago, but with a mysterious voice speaking to her.

NOW:
In a race against time, siblings Dale(29) and Savita(30) must unravel their abusive father's mysterious secrets before Savita is implicated in a murder she didn't commit(or did she!?) and their tightly knit Indo-Guyanese community is shattered forever. But their familial bonds get put to the test when an attractive reporter starts nosing around, and their investigations hurtle them into an underground world of spirits, jumbies, and mysterious paranormal elements best left undisturbed.

Splitting of the faces of the two MCs of JumbieWIP. Central row text reads as "Format and Tropes"
One column at the left reads: Format
Below it reads: Novel, Dual POV, 1st Person Narration, Prologue Included, Genre: Low Fantasy, Paranormal, Subgenres: Supernatural Noir, Gothic Punk, Mystery

Here's a #sundaysnippet from my Adult Paranormal, #jumbieWIP! #booksky

Text reads as follows: "It’s been a few days since Uncle Louie disappeared. The cops haven’t been much help reporting anything yet. Dale’s still avoiding me most of the time only showing up when it’s the least expected. But everyone around me just seems so blasé about it. The only one besides Dale that seems to keep some effort with what’s going is this weird voice in my head. I’d say she’s like my mom, but whoever they are keeps trying their damnedest to be mine. Her voice rings into my ears even when I try to slam any doors inside my own mind to at least hear what friend is telling me from my computer monitor.
She’s been taking online classes since moving in here and the semester just started. To have all this on top, that’s the only reason I try to keep my mouth shut when she just loses it. "

Ry@moonlightscribble· Nov 11

Been in a funk lately but I made some character sheets in one of my writing folders and now I have 15 OCs that could be inserted into my WIPs.
