Have you ever drawn something for Tumblr and than find out that it's too personal to post it, so you just post the upper half.
I have never done that.
Drew this to LDR btw

Game of thrones is pretty weird.
Clive Barker wouldn't have had a career if George RRRRR Martin hadn't made sure "The Hellbound Heart" got published.
Which was the basis for the Hellraiser movies.
And that is just a weird fiction fact I needed you to know.
Martin is so horny that he insisted they publish Clive Barker. Even though their fetishes are not the same as far as I can tell.
We wouldn't have the Lament Configuration. We wouldn't have cynobytes or Pinhead.
He took a stand for what he believed in. The thing he believed in was just real weird.
And that was way before he wrote Game of Thrones.
He was just editing Sci Fi and horror compilations.
Thank you, George R. R. Martin. You aren't the best writer ever, but you are so extremely out there, while simultaneously being popular, that I have to respect you just so much.

Clive Barker is everything to me. All his work is so tender and human but so monstrous and twisted that one is inseparable from the other. Once I start one of his books I simply cannot stop reading. It's a train wreck, it's a nightmare, its a love letter to the freaks. He makes pathetic, boring, normie, misfits, sad-sacks!!! and puts them in Situations, and as the story progresses, elevates them to Hero Status simply by letting them say that they have had ENOUGH. Clive Barker is the champion of freaks and losers, the estranged and the ignored, he is the voice from the darkness that whispers "don't you want to go apeshit?" and reader and characters alike scream a resounding YES and then he gives you a thumbs up and says "ok babe go for it, you have everything to be scared of and nothing to lose" and they claw their way to liberation through the most perverse and repulsively delightful horror you've never dreamed. i'm so glad he got the rights to Hellraiser back, cheers to the king of splatterpunk, may he reign forever
