Horror Hotel 2 (monster AU)

Horror Hotel! (monster AU)

Yes! It's a lot like hotel Transylvania, just a completely different plot with different rules :)

Cole owns the horror hotel with his husband (and headless horseman) Nigel. Every October the hotel opens to the monsters, who enjoy it much like they would enjoy a vacation.

Rather than there being staple "famous monsters", there are different species of monsters with a few exceptions. For example, frankenstein-type creatures are much less common since they are made by a mad scienti...

Music Video Redraw!

This used to be one of my favorite pieces, and after looking back I realized how messy it was! I was more than happy to go back and redraw it with Jareth's updated look and a more accurate puppet

What would you guys look forward to this month? Halloween content or normal content?

It's Captain! (Pirate AU)

drats! Sunk by pirates!
Poor Cole is the captain of the Selkie, a royal ship that tactfully hunts mermaids to be given to the monarch. However, his ship is raided and captured by pirates!

Something's wrong (Comic)

A little comic based off the "Somethings wrong" short story that I would love to rewrite at some point since it is now very dated!

Well trained (NSFW- Nigel and hybrid Cole)

Character polaroids

These are heavily based on their face claims with small tweaks!

Gene's face claim is Sylvester Stallone
Rory's is Mike Faist
And Nigel's is Mads Mikkelsen

Drive in Movie night

This is a little piece based on the short story First Kiss. This one is a little more through Ace's POV!

Lori Leaves (Chapter One draft)

Hello everyone! I'm currently planning to rework and reorganize the Gublenn Records storyline.
Note that Ruby's name has been changed to Lori for the time being! We'll see if I like it)

At the beginning of January, in the late evening, Cole Gublenn sat at the mahogany desk in his study with the shell of his navy blue telephone pressed against his ear. In front of him he had two calendars splayed, one to be hung on the wall and another that was the size of a pocket note...

Ace and Gene NSFW sketches

I wanted to let you guys knows that I will be having a two-day gap between posts rather than a one day gap. I've been seeing a noticeable decline in my happiness while trying to stay on top of a full credit semester with a highly demanding writing class while also posting every other day on patreon.
With that, if I keep up posting every other day then the quality of what I am posting will decline. And I don't think thats fair to you guys!

Thank you all for your patience! For now, ...

First Kiss (Gene and Ace- Short Story)

So sorry for the abnormal posting times! Wanting to get this out ASAP



Every other Friday, after Gene had finished helping his mom with dinner, his father with the chickens, and had fed the dogs, he would drive his car across the street to Ace’s house to pick him up. Then, Gene would drive them down to Mr. Walker’s house which was out past the treeline in an open field. 

On Fridays Mr. Walker rolled his handmade movie screen from his garage out into the field besi...

Jareth's Masquerade (music video screen shots)

Here's a shot from Jareth's music video from the primitive album. He had full creative freedom over the project. In this album, puppets are used heavily for visuals. Jareth is often the only human presented.

For an example of the sound, begin at 1:45

Ramsey and Jareth

At the start of next month I will be taking a one week break due to horrendous art block that I have been trying to shake for this entire month.
I have had little to no motivation and almost zero passion, which I think is a big sign that I need to step away!

Thank you all for understanding :)

Jareth's escapade (part 1- short story)

Warning- use of outdated terms

I'll be numbering the Gublenn Co. story line in chronological order as soon as possible. I've only just realized how many stories they have! For now, heres the next part


In the early morning, just a day after Jareth’s birthday, Cole and Nigel arrived as a pair to Jareth’s estate. Nigel pressed the front door open, which creaked slowly and echoed in the grand entrance, then held it for Cole. After Cole entered, Sonya and Anthony followed beh...

Jareth on the Jet

Poor Jareth, he has no clue how bad private jets pollute!
still chugging along on the next part of the short story, and planning to write out Gene and Ace's first kiss!

I've been reading lots of Roald Dahl, specifically his short stories. If you enjoy what I write, I encourage you to look into some of his writing!

Hybrid AU doodles

I apologize for the rainbow blotches, my window has a stained glass cover over it, and these are the only pics I thought or take before it was too dark

I have some art in store, but I can't share it until the next part of Jareth and Cole's story is out.
With college starting up again for me I've been doing my best to avoid burnout while still posting every other day.

Rocky (oc insert teehee)

Struggling to find time for art with college starting up again! I've been experiencing a block and wanted to make something a little self indulgent

Happy Birthday, Jareth!

Due to how fickle trends are, I'll be getting this up on tiktok as soon as possible

across the house facetime (modern AU)

The boys would definitely make a habit out of face timing while home, especially Ace.

They'd all be working in modern day to afford a home (except Gene who is doing full time college) And even then, they're renting it from the owner! they couldn't dream of affording a sizeable home even with three separate incomes!
Jobie works as a full-time-streamer and makes the most revenue, Ace works as a model still but makes separate income from his social media, and Rory works as a dispensary...

Nigel puppet doll

I decided to do a personal project and make the Nigel puppet from Jareth's album cover into a poseable art doll! His limbs, spine, and tail are moveable :)

It's my first art doll, so there's definitely room for improvement

Idiot and a Dagger (Nigel short story)

Hello everyone, this is just a little something before I continue to main plot for Jareth and Cole. A Nigel episode!
This takes place a month after Jareth's Birthday

Warning-
slurs, light blood




Nigel was sat at the end of Cole’s king sized bed with his elbows on his knees and his bare feet flat against the green carpet. He held his hands clasped together and let his head hang heavy between his shoulders as Cole spoke at him from the bathroom. The fan above hi...
