Saturdays Are For Sketching. Sketching Matthew Goode, To Be Precise. My Spatial Awareness Is Worse Than

The world may be in shambles but at least I’m getting letters from my good friend Jonathan Harker

Abigail Epilogue (continued… still!)

A very quick bit of imaginary Joey and Lazaar photo faffing fun, as I continue to daydream about an epilogue to Abigail 2024.

Below are the shots I used (MG by Phil Fisk which I found on the Guardian website, MB for Harper’s Bazaar/Clinique and a stock photo from dreamstime). I messed around with and added to them on Procreate. Not very well but you get the idea, I hope. Just for fun, as usual.

Yes. I have realised I can’t do vampires without it eventually becoming MC/MDCM. He’s hard to shake off. But that’s ok! Thank you for reading 😘

Vampire and his prey mood board, using stills from ADOW, Abigail and random photo edits I made. It gets me when the stag kneels down and accepts his fate/submits to the predator.

And here’s a random rambling about Joey and Lazaar, which I wrote today because I was unwell and couldn’t go out: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59486872 It flows from the photo edit of them lounging on the couch above… and a comment made by the wonderful @pleasereadmeok 🖤❤️🩶 I’m not sure the fic even makes sense. But it’s just for fun… so there you go.

Dracula Daily - May 12th

According to Jonathan, Drac’s creeping around. But someone needs to go to Asda… 🧛

Carl’s trying (and failing) to enjoy a cup of tea in a greasy spoon on the beachfront. Who’s sitting opposite him, I wonder… 🤔

I’m half way through Department Q Book 3 and Carl is pretty into Mona, from the tiny snippets JAO gives away. I need more MG charm in the story so, instead of tidying the kitchen and getting on with work, I tried some more photo faffing using the 📷 above (by Female First website and Philip Sinden) and here’s what I came up with:

‘A candid snap of Carl and Rachel at the messy end of a post-work social (that Carl didn’t want to go to). They’ve tried to sneak off together but got side-tracked in the doorway: Carl pulls her in, playfully, towards him and she can’t resist. The photo, though, is a bad idea as far as Rachel’s concerned. Carl hasn’t even noticed they’re being watched (he’s tired, as usual, and she smells just too good).’

In my mind, this is where the ‘Carl and Rachel dance’ is at, @asgoodeasgold 🖤

I need to work on my photo editing. It’s fun. But I lose focus before my brain is onto the next thing. I’d love to try photoshop but feel fully overwhelmed every time I look at it.

I’m sorry - after our conversation, I just couldn’t resist.

Please don’t kill me. You know how much I LOVE this scene really. ❤️

(🔊 on) A Discovery of Witches Real Time Read Ch17

"I want to take you home."

Matthew wants to take Diana to Sept Tours so he can protect her.

This is my favourite scene in the whole show, their coming together and leaving Oxford to meet their future. It's so unbelievably romantic and swoony and exciting, it gives me all the feels 💓💓💓

And the way Matthew looks at Diana 💓🫠
