Dread Topiary of Ras Thavas

'O friend and companion of night, thou who rejoicest in the baying of dogs and spilt blood, who wanderest in the midst of shades among the tombs, who longest for blood and bringest terror to mortals, Gorgo, Mormo, thousand-faced moon, look favourably on our sacrifices!'
World War I Masks by Anna Coleman Ladd, 1918 The top row are casts taken from soldiers mutilated faces, the bottom row shows masks of their faces before their injuries, made from pre-war photographs. On the table are masks made to fit over the disfigured part of the face. [ftp]

Anonymous asked: I hope you know what you got yourself into. Hazel is already telling people that you slap her around.

Only when she asks nicely, sugar plum.

Anonymous asked: I hope you know your girlfriend has a long history of cheating on her past girlfriends/boyfriends, which I doubt she's been open with you about. She's a sex addict, and sleeps with pretty much anyone and doesn't do monogamy. She also loves playing the victim and when things don't work out will probably try to ruin your life and reputation, and accuse you of all sorts of abuse.

The combination of anonymity, passive aggression, and stalking your ex has filled me with profound admiration for your honesty, decency and firmness of character, sir.

little-loveliness asked: I like your blog AND I like the name of your blog. If you were going to get an Odilon Redon tattoo, would you get the eyeball hot air balloon or the smiling spider?

Absolutely the spider!
