Twitter Inscryption rp drawings and related things!!
As the Grimora account I have been making a lot of content and thought I would share it here :3c
First up my favorite rarepair Gravedigger (Grimora/Prospector). My god. They're so silly. And for context for this drawing, Grimora is a vampire (and zombie as well haha). Which by the way the Gravedigger slowburn has turned into a polycule slowburn thoughtfully named Buried Treasure (Grimora/Prospector/Angler) and I love them so much.
Here is the reason for all those tw's in the tags to filter for people. Under the cut you will find Grimora's journal pages I made for the Luke Carder account to post! She talks about what happened the time she got the OLD_DATA and all that good stuff.
This is the video I made to showcase Grimora's card. If you follow the twt rp you know that Angler managed to inscrybe everyone and this was just a little lore post for that! Audio on for Grimora's voice files being used.
Below this cut is in-depth talks of violence written like a diary.
Here are those journal pages! I spent a good while on them. :3c
I would recommend any Inscryption fictives to maybe avoid reading them.
Retep Folo & Dorothy Moskowitz - The Afterlife EP - not only does Moskowitz have a new solo album out, here is a sample of her forthcoming album with Retep Folo, who has previously recorded for Clay Pipe Music
Feast your eyes & ears on a new EP by legendary vocalist, musician & songwriter Dorothy Moskowitz (United States Of America / Country Joe / United States Of Alchemy) & Swedish artist / musician Retep Folo a.k.a. Peter Olof Fransson (The Owl Report / Reportage / Exhadley).
Fans of late 1960s & early 1970s psychedelia, experimental rock & eco-conceptual electronics take note - this is the real deal. Steeped in vintage instrumentation that alternates between avant-garde chorales, mystical mantras, slabs of fuzz guitar, whimsical keyboards, jagged synths & menacing percussion, Dorothy & Peter have produced a mesmerising collection on this 4 track EP (with a 14 track album 'The Afterlife' soon to follow).
Repeat listens reveal a wealth of layered sounds, moods & messages within a finely crafted, heartfelt paene to nature's cycles & our fragile planet. Traversing aural landscapes akin to Mort Garson, Bruce Haack, Alessandro Alessandroni, Alain Goraguer, David Axelrod, Franco Battiato, Maria Monti, Brigitte Fontaine & Areski, early Broadcast & Portishead, this inspired collaboration invites you on a fantastic journey into the afterlife.

Kentucky man finds over 700 Civil War-era coins buried in his cornfield
Many wealthy Kentuckians are rumored to have buried huge sums of money to prevent it from being stolen by the Confederacy. James Langstaff left a letter saying he had buried $20,000 in coins on his property in Paducah, William Pettit buried $80,000 worth of gold coins near Lexington, and Confederate soldiers quarantined for measles reportedly stole payroll and hid it in a cave in Cumberland Gap. None of these caches has ever been recovered.
Kentucky man finds over 800 Civil War-era coins buried in his cornfield. The "Great Kentucky Hoard" includes hundreds of U.S. gold pieces dating to between 1840 and 1863, in addition to a handful of silver coins. Eighteen of the individual coins found can sell for six figures apiece.
Here is a comic about The Worst Man. My posting schedule is all messed up rn sorry. Thanks as ever to the glorious patrons. You can join them at pat re on dot com slash tomor Judy.

Everything is somewhat Repaired: Worst Man
cw: weird masculinities, burial.
We were at a bar watching people play darts. One guy was taking up a lot of space, grabbing the others, yelling, throwing the darts aggressively to make up for his bad aim. He made me nervous at first.
(alt: Man with a rough beard, arms raised, pint in one hand. wearing a shirt that says "sport game team ball".)
Until I realised he was trying really hard to be "that guy" and his awkward performance of masculinity was suddenly so sad. This is a girl pretending to be a man and she's a terrible actor.
(alt: Self portrait looking dismayed, hand held to chest, tears welling.)
Now every time I see the "worst man" in a group of people, my brain is suddenly flooded with sympathy as if they're a closeted trans girl, buried alive and digging in the wrong direction.
(alt: cross section of earth, tomb stone on the surface. Person having broken out of buried coffin, but heading downwards.)
I need to reset this part of my brain.
(alt: Pink brain with eyeballs on stalks. out of the brain are a series of flags which read "Not everyone needs saving.", "My experience of gender is not universal." and "Some men are just really annoying men.")
Footnote: I feel like this totally falls into the "all vicious homophobes are actually gay" mode of thinking, which only blames marginalised people for their/our oppression while letting straight people off the hook.
