Books I woudn't read again
This post is inspired by a video that Pam Gonçalves made on her youtube channel.
Don't Tell Mummy by Toni Maguire
Tumblr media
This book tells the story of Toni Maguire, a woman who was sexually assulted by her father since she was 6. She even got pregnant when she was 16, and yes, it lasted 10 years. Her father used to tell her that she couldn't tell her mom, because otherwise, her mom wouldn't believe in her and would hate her forever. Unfortunately this was true and when she found out about her pregnancy, her mom chose to stay by her father's side.
This book is very hard to read because of it's subject, sexual abuse is something very hard for me to read and especially in children.
Holocausto Brasileiro by Daniela Arbex (Brazilian Holocaust)
Tumblr media
This one was another one that I honestly read fast, but it was very hard to read. This book's kind of a complaint about a "mental hospital" that used to have in Barbacena. The place was awful and very sad. Every minority used to go there, gays, women, black people, people with some mental illness and so. Once they got there, they were treated like garbage in the worst possible way.
I used to feel so sad for these people and the need to get into the book and help them, but unfortunately I couldn't. The place eventually was shut down, but it was too late, lots of women already had been raped and lots of people already had been killed in there.
There's a documentary about it and it's so sad. The people that used to work in there used to laugh about it, about what they did and it's revolting.
Let's Go Play at the Adams by Mendal W. Johnson
Tumblr media
I heard about this book in a video and everyone used to say that it was the most disturbing book they ever read and I wanted to read, but I don't know why.
This one was one that I deeply regret buying it. It's so awful. I do think the author has some mental illness, because who in their right mind would write about this????? The story is horrible, the writing is horrible and it's only purpose was to shock people. And it's really disturbing, I got really fucked up reading it.
1984 by George Orwell
Tumblr media
I read this book because everyone says that it's amazing. It's great indeed. The begining is great, but by the end of the book, it starts to get very disturbing. The main guy is arrested and tortured by the police and everything is just horrible to read. It's very explicit, just like Let's Go Play at the Adams and very uncomfortable to read. However, the whole concept is very good and clever, so I do understand the hype around it.
But to me, the main problem was that I had just finished reading Let's Go Play at the Adams, so it was too soon to read about torture again and it was really hard for me.
Audition by Ryū Murakami
Tumblr media
Audition I honestly haven't finished reading. This book has a famous movie. It's about a man who makes this fake audition to find a girlfriend. So when this gorgeous woman comes in, he fells in love immediately, but she hides a secret that he's not ready for it. She's a psychopath and by the end of the book she starts to torture him.
I didn't finish, not because she was torturing him, I didn't care about him, the problem was that she cut the dog's leg and that I don't accept. So I gave up.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Tumblr media
This was another one that I haven't finished. This one is very famous, I don't know why. It's about a grown ass man who falls in love with a 12-yeard-old girl. He rapes her and they have a "relationship".
This one is another one that I judge the author as well. Why he had the idea to write this?? Was he a pedophile too??? I think so, because just a pedophile could have this idea.
Obviously it's a horrible book as well and I couldn't pass the middle of it.

Transylvanian Siesta (WIPs 20/06/2021)
A couple of Impressionist style concepts of Lady D and the girls basking in the sun. Or perhaps it’s more likely that, as the girls can’t leave the castle, Alcina commissioned a painter to stage them as if outdoors...in Edwardian clothing?
It’s a mash-up of Sargent’s “Group with Parasols” and “The Siesta.” While the first painting is probably closer to completion, part way through I decided I didn’t like it! It looks a bit too “staged” and there’s too much white in it - the background is also quite busy? 
I think I prefer the perspective in the second piece, so I’ll probably keep noodling away at this one. The question is what to do with Bela, who is currently a sad-looking blob...Feedback welcome!

Heyyyy I have a question :3
Do you have any headcanon/s for these character : Scraptrap, Scrap Baby, Lady Dimistrecu, the three daughter of Lady D, Heisenberg and/or Molten Freddy ? :3
You don't have to do all the proposition, you can choose what character you want to do :3
Have a good day/evening and stay safe ! :3
*Cracks knuckles* \(^v^)/
You already know I'm doing all of them! Thank you for the ask! Headcanons under the cut!
FNaF6
Scraptrap
He loves rice and would do anything to get his paws on it. Fortunately, the pizzeria is quite close to a Chinese restaurant so rice is easy to get.
He orders a rice-based menu at least three times a week, so the owners aren't at all that surprised to see a tuxedo-clad zombie-rabbit come in and ask for their signature fried rice with buttered lobster on the side.
Since he like to dine-in there, he usually asks Michael to give him a bath in exchange for pizzeria improvements. Michael usually shrugs and gives him a well-deserved bubble bath and his tuxedo.
He likes it when Michael gives him head pats and rubs. It makes him feel loved and appreciated.
He has a pet pigeon named Fernando Buschmann. It's German and likes to listen to the violin.
He likes ASMR and memes. ASMR makes him go feral with murderous intent while memes make him question the modern generation.
He has social media accounts, all named "Willton-Moldover". He usually posts cosplays and furry art on them and has 93 followers on his Reddit profile, 1.5 million followers on his Instagram, 550 followers on his Tumblr, 35 on his Snapchat, and 3.95 million on his TikTok.
He also has a YouTube channel with 10.784 million subscribers called "Willton-Gameover". He plays videogames one-handed and roasts popular YouTubers and famous people. He would never roast Keanu Reeves though, because Keanu Reeves is precious bean.
Due to his popularity he gets a lot of hate mail and private pics. He doesn't like them at all so he blackmails the people who post them. And if the media and police are involved? Well, he has a strong fanbase that's not going down as well as a good alibi so that works out well for him.
Yes, his fanbase also knows of the Fazbear Murders, and he admits to it but frankly, he's shown them the approving ghost kids (who've bonded and gamed with him) so that's no big deal. Only Cassidy hates him, but it's usually constipated anger.
He's bisexual and has an ENORMOUS crush on one of his favourite game characters, Karl Heisenberg. Something about that man reminds him of himself and Henry, although he's not sure what. Still, don't let that distract you from the fact that he owns a nude Karl Heisenberg body pillow, CAPCOM official.
Scrap Baby
Her favourite Monster High doll is Draculaura. She doesn't understand how pink goes well with black but oh boy, pink goes so well with black.
She knows how to skateboard like a pro. Despite her weight, her trusty skateboard still stands and, if she falls, she's always got her skates to spare. She likes to impress the boys at the skatepark with her ability to perform even the most difficult of moves with ease.
She's subscribed to fifteen different tabloid subscriptions. She likes to read them and criticize the stupidity of the human race, like her father. Hey, it's hereditary.
The lights in her boobies glow in the dark. They also glow whenever she gets tired.
She likes reading furniture and gardening catalogues. She's judgy of the prices though and usually becomes a full-on critic with Lefty listening.
She owns a crab named Mr. Tootie. No I will not elaborate on the name. I'll only tell you that it's taken a liking to kazoos and party favours.
She's listed as the No. 1 Best Fan of her father's social media accounts. Michael's in nineteenth place but don't worry, he's as emotionless as a mushroom.
She likes to make origami lotuses. She's such a pro at it that she's even got a mini-stall at the pizzeria: 1 lotus for 50 cents. It's a lucrative business, and it's still growing. Oh, and she switches to other origami works of art every week such as origami guns and origami nine-tailed foxes.
She's the Restaurant Rescue manager. Usually she saves kids from trouble. For this reason, yes, she's commonly seen in the pizzeria itself. Kids love her though the claw worries the more irksome parents.
She's a professional Karen dealer. Karen comes to see the manager? She's hypnotically talented in weaving her words through the toughest of craniums so don't be surprised if a Karen walks out with a new viewpoint of life.
She performs on stage on the occasion, which usually gets her a lot of fan love. She cherishes everything good they give but ignores the problematic everythings. Problematic stuff? Oh, she's good friends with the police chief.
Molten Freddy
He loves noodles. Give him a bowl of ramen and he'll shut up for the entire night. Enter him in a noodle-eating competition and his high metabolism rate means absolutely non-stop spaghetti.
He misses Bon-Bon very much. To the point where he's even tried to make a scrap version of him. Sadly, it doesn't work. He cried that day.
He dies inside whenever he finds out there's a spaghetti shortage in Utah. Poor Molten.
He's a bit wonky, but if he tries to play with you or get into your personal space, don't get mad at him! He's just lonely and wants someone to talk to and play with.
He likes to play Exploding Kittens. It's the only card game he's good at. It's also the only card game he owns.
He sees Helpy as a little brother and boops his nose on a daily basis. He also likes to reenact The Lion King with him (It's the ciiiiiircle of liiiiiife~). Hopefully Helpy doesn't mind.
He knows a lot of jokes in a lot of languages. So German-speaking Molten Freddy wouldn't be too far away from expectation. His favourite jokes are in French though; the wordplay is just immaculate.
He's good in French, English, German, Russian, and Malay. He's currently learning Japanese because he's a mega weeb.
His favourite cartoon is Charlie and Lola. He just likes to see the sibling shenanigans as it somehow reminds him of the good old days.
His favourite shows would be prankster shows. He especially loves the ones that give him new and creative ideas. He doesn't like the scary ones though. They make him feel unsafe and give him anxiety.
Surprisingly, he has a distinct taste for opera. He can modulate the remnants of his voice box to perfectly sing I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General. This both pisses off and impresses Henry to an extent.
Resident Evil 8
Lady Dimitrescu
She might act like the opposite but she really loves Heisenberg as her little brother. His determination, strength, speed, dexterity, and workaholic nature impresses her, who can't even fit through a doorway. She sometimes wishes she's as short as him too.
She's an avid collector of glass, porcelain, and anything fragile. It's a good reason to always be careful where you tread in her lair. She'll make you swallow every last shard if you don't.
She's an avid romance fanatic and is very loving towards the romance novels she owns. All those books you see in the in-game library? They're her collection of lesbian romances that she's collected over the past decades.
She doesn't like hats and prefers to stick to the one she wears in-game. She DOES have a collection of hats though. Last anyone counted, there were over fifty, one or two for each decade she's lived through.
She files her nails on a constant basis and owns an ornately decorated nail-clipper. Hygeine is of the utmost importance. She doesn't want to be compared to that filthy Heisenberg.
Despite her size and carefulness she keeps losing her stuff. Over the course of a week she could misplace three wine glasses, two reading glasses, and fifteen bottles of wine.
She's an expert at dodgeball and golf and even owns a lifetime access to the most prolific Country Club in Romania. With permission from Mother Miranda she goes there every year for the yearly party. It's one of the times she gets to see modernity (and Ed Sheeran) at its finest.
She loves bands from the 1920s and 1940s. However, she gets bored of them occasionally and switches them to something more modern, like Ed Sheeran. Seriously though, what is up with mums and Ed?
She's into executions and torture methods. So it's no surprise that she's a HUGE fan of Horrible Histories; even if she can't watch the show, she'll binge-read the books over and over again. She's even had the chance to encounter (and receive an autograph from) Terry Deary. They have sworn a bond not to tell anybody about this.
She loves exotic animals like anacondas and jaguars. She may or may not have owned a 10ft long Saltwater Crocodile (which was also about 5ft wide).
She's an incredible physicist and mathematician. She's also created many original formulae but unsurprisingly, she doesn't tell anyone about them, for fear that either more people may know of her, or that she may be wrong.
Dimitrescu Babes
They can devour an entire human being in mere seconds as flies. It's sort of like the scarab beetles in The Mummy movies. However, unlike the beetles, they are able to strip the bones as well. They leave nothing behind.
They all know how to play the piano with varying levels of success. Daniela can already play professionally while Bela is still stuck on Grade 5.
They love to listen to their mother when she tells them stories. Gotta hand it to 'em, when you're a fly, you know how to enjoy life in its most simple of moments.
They all love being around the hunky Soldats of Uncle Karl. Fortunately, they don't know of the rebellious plan to conquer Miranda.
Bela is bisexual, Cassandra is asexual and pansexual, and Daniela is demisexual.
It gets hard when you're a fly during the summer. If it's not the lizards, spiders, and other predators, it's the heat. Because of this, despite the material waste, they have invented the world's first blood-powered air conditioner.
The three girls have never ever ever touched a stove or oven in their life. They HAVE touched the hot end of an iron though. A good reason to not touch a bloody oven. Alcina has though, but doesn't tell them that.
They love puppies! Uncle Karl brought them a baby labrador. For the rest of the week Alcina had lost quite a bit of favour from them. Not that they minded of course. IT'S A PUPPY.
They don't like snow one bit. Not just because it's cold, but because it's too white. Too bright. Too shiny. They just can't focus on their prey!
They like to go over to Auntie Donna to play with Angie. Well, you know what they say, crazies attract the crazies, and the crazy has attracted the crazies.
They also like to go to Uncle Moreau's because he's the only one in the village with a PS4. Usually they'd spend about three-quarters of a day playing his games and eating his cheese.
Karl Heisenberg
He owns a dark blue armchair named Junkyard. Despite the name, he loves it dearly because it was a gift from Alcina for his twenty-first birthday. It became part of his final transformation too. Right under the hat.
He's a little blind in the right eye, much to his annoyance. It was a minor accident with Sturm; another reason for him to hate the uncontrollable wretch. He'll never live that day down.
Somehow, he sees better in the dark, which is why he wears such tinted glasses. He also wears them to hide his expressions, since, more often than not, he tends to end up wearing his heart on his sleeve, and his emotions in his eyes.
He's under a lot of pressure so it's no surprise that he breaks down in his factory when he knows he's alone. And by break down I mean crumple into an exhausted heap on the floor. Not even his Soldat Jet squad can wake him up until he's had a reasonable eight hours of rest.
He bathes once a day, every evening, but only three times a week. Perfume, tobacco, and cologne keep care of the rest.
He's the only Lord with a daily contact with the outside world due to his electrical abilities. Don't tell Miranda, but he can electrically CONNECT TO GOOGLE AND THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN GENERAL. He likes to play funny YouTube cat videos in his head when Miranda's having a boring meeting. It's also how he finds out that Chris is a boulder-punching asshole.
He does stimming! He likes to tap his fingers on his desk and the metal rails in his factory. He also buys stim toys from the Duke and keeps them in a well-kept box. His favourite is a non-ripping squishable toy duck. He also sings to chill out.
He's absolutely in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, and may have once believed in the pizzeria's existence. Come on, he's a mutated Overlord with magical magnet powers. Children souls stuck inside animatronics isn't too far-fetched of an idea. His favourite characters are the Funtimes and the Scraps, mainly because of the blueprint complexity. He HAS tried to replicate the animatronics in his spare time, but he's usually too busy with his Soldats so the project gets scrapped. He loves The Living Tombstone's songs and remixes though.
He doesn't like William Afton at all (though he marvels at his survivability). William's nature and habits remind him of Mother Miranda. He DOES however enjoy Michael Afton and often thinks how it would be absolutely amazing to have that resilient being in his Soldat army.
He's scared of what lurks below the watery depths and fire. Ironic because his brother is a literal fish and he works in one of the most hazardous fire-conducting environments. He's also scared of heights, though he doesn't get airsick.
He once died due to a killing electric shock whilst working on Sturm. It's the only time he's felt that sort of pulsing agony and also the first time he's had the confirmation that yes, Hell is real and yes, he'll end up in quite a dark pit in it. Or it could've been an electric dream, who knows? Anyways his soul apparently ran towards the opposite direction of the flames and he woke up alive after the passing of FIVE ENTIRE WEEKS. Oh boy did Alcina get worried when she couldn't find him.
Thank you for the ask! I hope you enjoy!

My Britty Brentrance No 3
Today I gave away the first ones of my plants. Two of them, the big kitchen plant and a tiny one from the bedroom. It might have been only the next item to tick on my Move-from-Hamburg-to-Somerset/UK to-do-list, but it was also... you know.... an odd moment.
I have nine pot plants in my flat. They are lovely, sort of shy, very green (suits me, my fave colour) and easy to get along with as they only want a drink from time to time but they don’t party too hard! I didn’t give them names or anything, but they all have a history and they are dear to me. One, which is still with me, I have now for, let me think, 21 years. And another one, which I said good-bye to today, I had for probably 17 or 18 years.
I love my plants. Despite it being my fave colour, my fingers are not the greenest (in German it’s the proverbial thumb only anyway!), so I was always happy they survived living together with me and survived the occasional drought because lazy mummy forgot to water the little darlings again. Ahem. But as I said, they all survived. They are tough as an old root, I think goes the saying...
So, today, this late afternoon, when this nice young woman who had replied to my free ad online came by with her sweet baby daughter... it was a bit like saying goodbye to my teenagers leaving for uni... I guess. I don’t know, I don’t have children, but you know, you raise those plants, you watch over them, you talk to them (yes, and I admit it openly!) and you feed them for years and years and then suddenly their place is empty and they are gone. It must feel at least a bit like that? Aren’t we all some kind of parents to someone... something?
Anyway, tomorrow I will carry three of them to work to give them to my new colleague/successor and next weekend another man who also answered within five minutes after my ad had gone online will come to collect another big one. For the rest I’m sure I will soon find new adoptive parents, too. People love to get things for free, don’t they?
That leaves only my orchid.
My orchid. White, delicate blossoms, in bloom several times a year, looking healthy and happy. My ex-boyfriend, an English bloke from France, gave it to me when he was still thinking he was in love with me. Well....he wasn’t maybe after all, but I was. Definitely was. I guess I still am, to be honest. He was the reason I considered leaving my country for the first time.
Well. So, it turned out he needed our relationship to end for a reason he forgot to tell me. After he broke off with me, the orchid, which had been bare at the time, started to grow a twig again with little buds that became bigger and bigger every day until they grew into those beautiful white innocent blossoms again. For two years I hoped, if I kept this orchid alive, he would come back to me like the blossoms always came back. Well, guess what, he didn’t. Life is not a bowl of cherries. Or a twig full of blossoms.
The other day I asked my mother whether she wanted another orchid for her window sill in the living room. And she said, how lovely, she just had thought of getting a new one as her old one had sadly died a couple of weeks ago. My orchid would be very welcome. I was happy to hear that.
So, with leaving my country now (for the home country of my ex-boyfriend, how ironic is that, think about it...) I finally, finally will give away the last memento that still reminded me of him. I don’t know if there is a message there somewhere, something to learn from this, but maybe I’m closing a chapter here I should have closed a long time ago. Time for new plan(t)s in my life!
PS: I wasn’t quite honest here, sorry. I still have this gorgeous green cardigan my ex also gave me. But come on, I’m not getting rid of any item of green clothing! Am I crazy? Do you know how hard it is to find decent yet gorgeous green clothes? There you go! So, the cardigan stays, and that’s that then. A girl is a girl is a girl, what can I do!?!
