Voyage to the Unknown: Horror
6 min read
I haven't written a new journal in more than a bloody year, I hope you all realize that. Anyway though... @zydaria tagged me in their journal so I'm gonna go ahead and do the thing. The requirement is to look through the Photography or Traditional Horror and Macabre category, then feature any good looking monster deviations I find and like. Mrs-Durden is responsible for initiating this thing here, if you're interested in checking it out and contributing to #TheVoyage.
"The idea is to browse through a category or sub-category that you don't necessarily visit frequently, or that you browse the least,
and collect some of the art you find stands out! The point of this is to challenge ourselves and discover new art in the process!"
Photography/Horror and Macabre
My favourite genre, super duper. I tend to like surrealist art anyway and surreal horror even moreso. I also gravitate more towards black and white photography or stuff with more muted colours because I'm racist to all colours.
<da:thumb id="245590313"/>Traditional/Paintings/Horror and Macabre
My other favourite genre. I tend to favour body horror as well as surrealism in more traditional art, I find, largely because I find body horror to be so off-putting when it's done right.
Well, that's that then. I thought I'd go with both traditional and photography because they're both so different and I'm difficult. But yeah, this was a fun little thing to do so I suggest everyone tries it. I'm not sure who to tag beyond Kasimere so... Anyone who reads this, feel free to look through any category you don't usually look through yourself.

The World's Most Exciting Update
2 min read
Like some kind of shitty low-budget version of Sinistar, I live... Again. I sort of forgot deviantART existed and ended up instead getting distracted by writing stories and Tumblr and watching The Wire. So much of The Wire. So yeah, it occurred to me that I also hadn't written a journal in about two months so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone by telling you all I'm back whilst also writing one. I'm a goddamn genius, yes. I must write about three journals a bloody year though dedicated purely to telling my Watchers that I'm not actually dead yet, it's becoming something of a habit.
Anyway, yeah... I do intend to actually put something up relatively soon once it's finished. As I said earlier, I've been writing something in my spare time recently so I'll probably have that finished and up in the coming weeks if I actually finish the damn thing. It's a short little Lovecraftian-esque horror story about a man who comes into possession of a book that totally isn't The Necronomicon; it's like the dodgy knock-off version because I'm really unoriginal. Expect that to be finished and up either relatively soon or never.
In other news, uni has been kind of dull lately but I've had a shitload of assignments and stuff to do so... It's not exactly been quiet. Still, once all of my work's out of the way I intend to carry out my usual plan of spending my days writing and sleeping. So uh... Yeah. Jesus, this has been a fucking roller-coaster of a journal update hasn't it? I hope your hearts are all okay. I'm going to finish this up here before I accidentally kill any of you through sheer excitement or something.

Oh Christ, It's Almost Christmas.
2 min read
Again. It's almost like Christmas is an annual thing or something, right? Weird. It's also my birthday fairly soon too which is... Something. I'll be twenty, which is certainly weird to think about. Yeah. I'm more than likely going to spend my birthday night doing what I do best by sitting in a darkened room getting drunk and crying over the fact I'm ever so slightly closer to my inevitable death. Also re-watching Shrek because obviously. Let it never be said that I don't know how to have a good fucking time.
In other news, I also had to finish my first proper assignment thing for uni lately. It was about the benefits of proper Human Resource Management processes and it was as soul-destroyingly boring as you'd expect, yes. I'm looking forward to my Christmas break now so I can take some time off after nearly being killed by that bloody assignment. Trust me when I say that it's very nearly impossible to find writing about HRM processes fun or interesting.
Also, in terms of like... Actual stuff on here, I'm kinda sorta maybe possibly working on an actual bit of story... Potentially maybe feasibly. Don't hold me against that though because actually sticking to one bloody project is difficult. I'm bad at being consistent and good at procrastinating, yeah? Still, I'll see if anything actually happens. It might. Maybe.
Anyway yeah, I think that's enough rambling for this journal. I was kind of getting tired of the old one so I thought I'd replace it like literally all of my journals all of the time forever.

I Have an Idea, Maybe.
2 min read
Y'know... I think I'm going to try doing a little horror story. I haven't written anything in quite a long while since none of the ideas I have seem to stick which has proven to be pretty bloody annoying. I figure the best way to remedy that is to just try doing some short story stuff for now rather than trying to write something long again when I can't think properly.
But yeah, I was thinking of doing a kind of first person, post apocalyptic-y, psychological horror kind of thing. Partly because I've never really tried first person writing before and practice is always good and partly because a post apocalyptic setting means I can be more creative. Of course, by creative I mean I can put ghosts, giant spiders and mutants into the story without anyone questioning why they're there. They're there because apocalypses are fucking weird.
So yeah, expect that to be around at... Some point in the future, possibly. No promises but plenty of false hope - The Vanhir way y'all. Also happy Halloween or something, while I actually remember and also have enough time to say that before midnight. Yeah. I hope you didn't scare yourselves to death because of YOUR OWN SPOOKINESS.

Bawww.

I was getting sick of the sight of that old journal. I'm going to be honest here and admit that that's the single reason I even bother to write journals sometimes. I look at my page, see my journal and think "fucking hell I'm sick of seeing that same journal" and now... Here we are once again dealing with that problem the only way I know how; me rambling about literally anything that comes to mind until I've successfully replaced the old shitty journal from last time that I hate.
I'll be starting at university fairly soon, in about a month or so I think... I'm equal parts nervous and excited. Nervous because I'll have to learn a bunch of new times and meet new people, or attempt to, and excited because it's a new start honestly. I assume that once I've settled in and stuff I'll feel less anxious. That tends to be how it goes with me anyway so... Yeah. I do hope I can bring myself to be less shy and actually speak to people though since I managed to go through three years at college without making friends with a single bloody person. I'm pathetic, yes, I'm fully aware. But yeah, enough potentially angsty bullshit.In case you're somehow wondering why I haven't written anymore shit lately it's because I can't think for the life of me what shit to write. Like always, I get plenty of ideas for potential stories to write about but I just can't seem to actually form the ideas into stories. Either that or I try writing the story but eventually lose track and fuck it up. Gah. I'll think of something in due time I'm sure... Or not because I'm terribly inconsistent and bad at reminding myself to focus on what I should be doing.
I'm going to call this entry "Bawww" I think because of all this terrible, terrible angsty bullshit. I'm going to go slither back onto the forums for now I think. Also, Perturbator for you. I've been listening to Perturbator so much lately and I don't even normally like their style of music, Jesus fuck. Anyway... Toodleoo for now, shitlords.
