My blog for spooky things! Here be horror movies, spooky aesthetic, demons, ghoulies, and all creatures of the night. I follow from my main, peaceroxi!

An accidental companion series to my last Papa IV piece—look, that initial rush of Post-Coronation BDE Confidence can only last for so long.
This started out as that one painting at the end, and then just… kept going! I am WEAK and full of feelings.
