(Sucker for a slowburn ❤️🔥).

Vampire and his prey mood board, using stills from ADOW, Abigail and random photo edits I made. It gets me when the stag kneels down and accepts his fate/submits to the predator.

And here’s a random rambling about Joey and Lazaar, which I wrote today because I was unwell and couldn’t go out: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59486872 It flows from the photo edit of them lounging on the couch above… and a comment made by the wonderful @pleasereadmeok 🖤❤️🩶 I’m not sure the fic even makes sense. But it’s just for fun… so there you go.

Lazaar ❤️ Joey

I was today years old when I learnt that Abigail means ‘my father’s joy’. Too clever for me. But now I love this little detail. It got me thinking about Lazaar’s relationship with Abigail and, although we know he’s not the best father 😅, I thought he might have bought her one of these jewellery boxes. The original is from Giggle and Honey on Amazon and I just faffed around with it on Procreate. I’d love to make a real one 🎨🖌️

Mood: Lazaar / languor

Refusing to do his vampire thing. And driving Ana to distraction. Imaginary, inexpert edits on an Abigail theme.

Wrote a little bit to go with these on AO3. It waffles. It’s undercooked or overcooked. A bit much or not enough. Can’t really decide. But - happily - it’s just for fun.

Whose your favorite Comfort character in Abigail? And why?

Joey! I just love that she’s so smart (and bloomin’ beautiful) and skilled and funny but also flawed. I find her relationship with Abigail fascinating and confusing and can never 100% work it out. I’m always pondering the fact she was spared by both Abigail and Lazaar. What weird vampire code of conduct is this?! I love her final WTF line in the film and the way Melissa Barrera delivers it and I think about that a lot. I wonder what on earth she did next after driving away (and will always hope there’s a sequel and she’s a vampire). And - of course - I love the idea of Lazaar falling for Joey… even though that doesn’t actually happen in the film (it really does in my mind 😂). She’s a comfort character for me because there are so many things to wonder about her and I think Melissa Barrera absolutely smashed her portrayal. Soooo, not a very original answer from me, I’m afraid. How about you?

⬆️ Fan-art-photo-faffery using Procreate - photos of MG and KM edited just for fun to make them Carl and Rachel on a Department Q theme as I read the books

That cheered Carl up at least 🙃

There is a scenario for this somewhere in my addled brain. But, for now, let’s just guess what’s tickled him. I love MG’s cheeky grin in the @asgoodeasgold screenshot. Can’t wait to see what he does with Carl Mørck. I think I’ve said that before… 😂

I’m enjoying messing around on Procreate again. Photoshop would probably be the better platform but I’d need to take some serious lessons. Maybe in the summer holidays.

Carl’s trying (and failing) to enjoy a cup of tea in a greasy spoon on the beachfront. Who’s sitting opposite him, I wonder… 🤔

Carl should be thinking about the case but instead, he’s daydreaming about his therapist. 👌

🧛❤️

"Lazar is the true big bad of Abigail"

This made me very happy. Matthew does a 2-minute cameo as daddy vamp Lazar and his portrayal is so iconic he is recognised as one of the scariest on-screen vampires. Way to go Goodey!

So proud 🥹🥹
