Halloween Nightmares 2023 – Part 3

Dark bodies floating in darkness
No sign of light ever given
Imprisoned in a world without a memory

Unconscious or am I conscious?
Cut from the heart I am part of
Sometimes I feel as though I’m frozen in Heaven

Halloween Nightmares 2023 – Part 2

by

TUNES

I know you get too caught up in a moment
You can’t call it love if you show it
We just fuck things up, yeah, I noticed
Yeah, I noticed, hear me? Yeah, I noticed
Step out of the moment
That’s been trappin’ you in all this negativity of hatred and insanity
Don’t dwell on the past, it’s time to make a change
Look around, believe in what you see, I have returned to Hell

[- Halsey  SUGA -]

As promised, here part 2 of my “Halloween Nightmares” series!

I am having way too much fun with that new LeLUTKA “Lilith” head I guess *giggles*. Today I went over to [Glam Affair] again (yesterday I just picked up the 2 new masks for the “Lilith” head) and picked up the amazing “Lilith” skin they made for the new head. They have 5 amazing, different tones for the horns in the pack together with 3 different shades as well.

For the face I found that amazing faceart from [the Skinnery] at FLF-oWeen and wasn’t yet sure how I want to style that up, but with the “Lilith” head I immediately had an idea. With all the gold in the face tattoo, I wanted to have a overall black/golden look and the cool gacha from ANTINATURAL[+] came to my mind. Even if it is quite old and the store doesn’t anymore exist, it made a perfect match for my look together with that incredible animated wings from CURELESS[+].

I have a feeling that this wasn’t my last post for this series yet – I already have another idea. Let’s see if I can make it before Halloween is finally there. On the other hand… why I should stop with the Halloween day? The nights are still long, dark and spooky, even after Halloween *giggles*

Halloween Nightmares 2023 – Part 1

TUNES

Stitched you up, put you together
With cotton and feather
Gave you love, put my heart inside you
Oh, what could I do?

When you started talkin’ in your sleep
Saying the things you’d do to me
I didn’t care, I wasn’t scared
Now I’m findin’ knives under the sheets
Crumpled photographs of me
I’m in despair, should I be scared?

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
You were comforting and quiet
How did love become so violent?
Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me

[- Melanie Martinez -]

Time for a little writeup today 😉 I didn’t write for along time more than just some quotes or lyrics. Sometimes you do not have something to say and then it is better to just shut up I was taught in my childhood – I believe that is true.

Life was just a mess the past couple of months and always when I thought it can’t become anymore worse – it did.

It did come to a peak when I was told I cannot be a teacher anymore, because I had already to many limited contracts – about 12 years (I stopped studying after the first exam due a record label contract and some other reasons, which none ever cared until now). Now that Germany is seriously short on teachers, none even thought they would pull that card after so many successful years, but they did. So, while we hear everyday on the news “We desperately need teachers”, I am sitting at home, not yet sure what I am going to do since I was half of my life a teacher and the other half a musician – I am way not the only one facing that situation and no one does understand that idiotic misery.

Long story short – I had to sort my mind first before I wanted to talk about and just underlined my pictures with songs, quotes and emotions I was in during that process. But now we have the dark season of the year – Halloween and so many other holy days, that pulled me out of my corner and back to work – aka styling and taking pictures!

Since I had a lot of time over the past weeks, I was able to so some fun in SL again and I went to do a few cool Halloween themed hunts and visited some cool dark events, where I found a looooooot of strange, spooky and cool things I want to showcase now in a little “Halloween Nightmares” series – And here is it is… Part 1 😉

(Btw it is really funny AND amazing, how you can find lyrics and songs to al kind of weird imaginations like the one I found for todays post *giggles*)

Belated Happy Halloween! – Or welcome to the dark season of the year *winks*

by

Slowly I start to believe Vivien more and more when she said 2022 is cursed and we just should skip the rest of it… After catching Covid the 3rd time I started to get better again when my the kids of my school gifted me some kind of weird flu – another week down. Now last weekend It felt like it would be over and agreed to have lunch with my mom. I said I will prepare everything and we will come down to eat, so she doesn’t have to get up all the stairs (we live in one house but 2 different apartments). So we prepared everything and already were on our way down. I still felt a little wonky so the second half of the stairs, my partner decided to take the potatoes and the meat off my hands which I was carrying in a pot. When he had everything, I thought I could get down a little faster and … DANG… I fell down the second half of the stairs. Right knee, left shoulder and left wrist did hurt like hell and parts of the hand already were dark red, a few days later dark blue. My  knee was the worst as I could not walk anymore kinda instantly – Another half week on the couch and not really able to sit or move.. bye bye Halloween *sighs*

So today is the first day I was able to get up again and limp on my own through the apartment to my computer and sit down to work a little bit.

So you will have to stick with some more creepy, spooky pictures for a while I guess, as I prepared quite a few for Halloween *giggles* – But then, most of you are anyway used to my dark side and the fact that the dark season for me doesn’t end with Halloween anyway :p

So belated Happy Halloween!

Gruesome Ghoul

by

The gruesome ghoul, the grisly ghoul,
without the slightest noise
waits patiently beside the school
to feast on girls and boys.
He lunges fiercely through the air
as they come out to play,
then grabs a couple by the hair
and drags them far away.
He cracks their bones and snaps their backs
and squeezes out their lungs,
he chews their thumbs like candy snacks
and pulls apart their tongues.
He slices their stomachs and bites their hearts
and tears their flesh to shreds,
he swallows their toes like toasted tarts
and gobbles down their heads.
Fingers, elbows, hands and knees
and arms and legs and feet –
he eats them with delight and ease,
for every part’s a treat.
And when the gruesome, grisly ghoul
has nothing left to chew,
he hurries to another school
and waits… perhaps for you…
