#pixelart #freelance #pixelartist

A pixel art portrait of a man, topless save for a loincloth, gazing up at the sky. His skin is sallow and pierced in many places -- neck, pectoral, arm, abdomen, waist, thigh -- with arrows, and blood drips down.

A pixel art portrait of a woman gazing upwards, palms outstretched and pierced with crosses. Behind her head, a halo of knives. Her skin is pale and her hair is long and dark, and her long, white dress is stained with blood.

A man with his arms stretched -- one out, one behind him. His head is thrust back and two long shafts of light pierce his chest.

A pixel art portrait of a nude woman, one hand to her side the other curled out behind her. Her hair is long, ginger, and plaited. It comes to the small of her back and curls against her torso. Her eyes are dark. She is expressed with dithering and unrealistic colours. Half of her face is shadowed and she smirks.

"She would be called very handsome, I suppose, and yet there is something about her face which I didn’t like. The features are exquisite, but the expression is strange."

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Nobody could have imagined the future world that would find this funny and why

A boy running alongside a train with a bindle on a stick. A word balloon reads “I’m through with school- it’s only for sissies anyway. I’ll run away and- and make money with my FEET”

Find my blog and all of two posts here -> gothydellamorte.wordpress.com/2025/08/12/h...

A few more to come in the next few weeks, plus some ongoing projects. I'm shuffling about my Patreon/etc.

I have a bad habit. Its one you may have noticed if you've been subscribed to me for any amount of time, or followed me on social media or just, seen me at all.

I can't finish anything.

I have a tendency to start things and never finish them -- games, art, stories, articles, pitches. You name it, I've not finished it. My hard drive is a graveyard of projects as yet unfinished, untitled or unopened in far too long.

Despite Lynch's refusal to saddle us with his concrete intent there remains this enduring necessity to take him apart and lay him out piece by piece, to vivisect, log and categorise the man. We gave his body of works a genre of its own - "Lynchian" -, synonymous with other. Like a human puzzle we start at the edges of the very man himself and seek to build an understanding from without.

I always get the highest praise. Massive dumpers are a big theme in my work.

Nice Wizard (not me)
Staring at your pixel ladies massive dumper.
Knowing she's shaped like that because it's based on you, deep in my heart.

And then sent off a little 500 word thing that may or may not get picked up but in all likelihood won't.

If it doesn't I'll post it elsewhere.

This one comes with a fairly graphic trigger warning of descriptions of an autopsy and a murder.

#writer #writing #horrorwriter #horrorwriting

Today was an exceptional day. The girl he intruded upon was exceptional: he had seen many bodies. He didn't think he'd ever had someone who had been murdered. It wasn't something he wanted to get used to. The question was much less about the how, as the why: you didn't have to be a doctor to see the gash in her throat. It was unpleasant, pinky-yellow, with fatty, cabbagey edges already washed clean and robbed of their immediacy. Her pale skin bloomed and flapped with cuts, the deep centres blooming with red like some cruel orchid.

It helped him to measure her -or indeed any body but especially hers-, in parts and approximations relative to other, non-anatomical things. It made stopping to smell the flowers difficult, but he had little sense of smell between the regular assault upon his nostrils that was ethanol and putrescine.

The irl writers group I'm in is doing an anthology, as they do occasionally, and the general gist was a ghost story in about 1000 words. The word count got tripled but I kept mine short.

Anyway here's a lil bit from it. It'll be available to purchase later in the year.

#writing #horrorfiction

Dreden Point was the sort of place that had never looked welcoming, a state of being that seemed to go hand in hand with it's attraction to ghost hunters. As a still image on his laptop, the ridge of its roof a spine, the effect was not lessened. In life it had been too neat, too ordered, portioned off like a prison meal -- this part for sleeping, that for taking, for eating, playing, meeting, living, operating, cutting, dying, burying. It teetered on the edge of a cliff that the ocean stripped away year by year in inches and clumps measured by concerned geography students in waders with long, brown rulers, all of whom said that the place was bound for a watery grave within the decade.

I think that bit and the "all lives matter" bit were just so insanely funny. Honestly that's going into my meta horror roster.

Jessi D (Scary Ver.) @gothydellamorte.bsky.social · 1d

Okay, The Blackening rules. Very funny and very acerbic and had a really good finale.

I thought, mostly, that Them was too gratuitous and sadistic and that even if that's a reality of racial violence it didn't seem to do anything beyond shock BUT. The minstrel monster in that was horrible and freaky. There is a ... Game mascot in a similar vein in this that is also freaky.

So I'm watching The Blackening which is a meta horror about black horror films and I'm not finished with it yet but so far I'm enjoying it.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
