This is one of my most stolen pictures of Dracula book picture. If you want it for a mood board: you're welcome to it, I do not mind, just want to make this known if anyone ever wondered 🦇🖤 #dracula #vampire #moodboard
bram stoker's Dracula book in Lithuanian, red, decorated with filigree and damascus patterns in shapes that imply bat wings, skulls, and fangs, composed out of three layers of different depth red, and different pattern, the last one, framed between what looks like fangs, is an image of a dark castle atop a high hill silhouette with giant full moon behind it, and some clouds, alongside a mist falling around. the book is framed between a ceramic skull wearing a crown, and a vial of red liquid, placed atop a black bandana with skull and spades patterns on it. image by wannabekingpin aka vakaris

October is treating me right. Wish they stopped raking up all the damn leaves though.

Have you watched or read anything autumnal? Recommend me something.

Just me and my bunny, watching aliens kidnap people of Los Santos, as per every October / Halloween. Is bunny an actual person who has eaten a jack-o-lantern? Maybe, you'll never know.
GTA 5 Online video game screenshot during halloween event that tints everything greenish and gives a grainy film over it, as every night is stormy, torn by lightening and rain. On the left side of the screen, player's original character, with a little ponytail made out of his undercut, wearing a black t-shirt with skeleton pattern on it, is staring off into the distance above, likely seeing aliens. In front of him stands a hare, a bunny in brownish grey. behind them, a few trees and the Lost Santos city skyline. image by wannabekingpin aka vakaris

Look at this October. Look at it.

A fine day to walk in somewhere and find what you were dreaming of, with little hope of getting. Culprits: Monster Ultra Vice Guava, that I wanted because it makes me think of GTA, and Monster Ultra Blue Hawaiian, because I’ve not tried this one yet.
monster energy zero sugar ultra vice guava and ultra blue hawaiian cans, standing on black shelf, with black-gloved hand reaching out to take the vice guava one. In the background there's black storage unit of drawers. to the side - spare glove of another hand. the other side - a killstar statuette of demon cat, with "freak" gold colored necklace hanging on its horns. review and image by wannabekingpin aka vakaris

Look at this beauty. It's a blessing to live in a zone with all four seasons, because as soon as I get bored with one, the next one comes. Cheers to spooky cute crunchy-leaves autumn 🎃

I'm thinking a hot cocoa and a scary movie is in order, no? ko-fi.com/blackwood
autumn in the baltics at night, a pathway covered with yellow, almost golden tree leaves, illuminated by a white pedestrian pathway light, with a car road visible through the trees, and a few parked cars ahead.

Thanks to Saints Row reboot I've replayed all the Saints games I had. Love all of them, with very mild exception of Gat out of Hell, but even that's pretty fun. #saintsrow #saintsrowreboot

Yes, gangs were not written enough in a sense that it needed more missions and some speech-driven clashes like we had with Killbane and so on. But they were still very fun to engage with, each one offering solid, unique interactions. #saintsrow #saintsrowreboot
