p.s. Hey. ** jay, Hey, hey, jay! I don’t know, maybe the vampire/lesbian fantasy complicates the power dynamic in hetero guys’ fantasies and makes the dominant female-centric lust less self-excoriating? Or something? I haven’t seem Takashi Miike’s ‘Teorema’ reworking, thanks. Everyone, You want to see how Takashi Miike reworked Pasolini’s ‘Teorama’? Thanks to jay, you can. Here. No, makes sense, re: AI vs. dreams’ real world incompatibility. I’m glad to hear that your concussion only left a little bit of a short term superficial mess. My weekend happened without too many highs or lows, and yours? ** Steeqhen, Oh, okay that makes sense. The logistics. As I think you know, my dreams dissipate upon my awakening, so dreaming is mostly just exotica to me. Luck re: the job. Well, and especially re: that contest. Not bad. Not bad at all. ** Connie, Hi! Your friend’s theory makes sense, yeah, although I can’t parse why, or at least not without a degree of thought that the p.s. construction makes less than doable. No, I haven’t seen Stephanie Rothman’s ‘The Velvet Vampire’, but I’ll try to seek it out. Oh, that dropbox thing is your set? Thank you! Fascinating, or I mean it obviously will be to imbibe. Sounds intensely interesting. Exciting work you’re doing. Very cool. ** _Black_Acrylic, ‘Iron Rose’ is his peak? That’s interesting. Okay, I get that. We had a TV channel called Bravo in the States, but it sure wasn’t like yours. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Oh, there are six people involved in the biweekly Zoom club, and we take turns choosing and assigning a film and a text for us to discuss. Member Jack Skelley chose ‘Teorema’. I chose the text this time, a piece of Jean Jacques Schuhl’s novel ‘Ingrid Caven’. No criteria. Anything goes. Just something that seems like it’ll provoke interesting blabla. I hope love isn’t lactose intolerant because that would so suck aka cheese! Err, was love’s suspicion wrong, one hopes? Love legally changing his name to Wishing Well, G. ** Alice, Hey. I’ve been okay, you? Oh, wait you’re going to tell me, cool. I played guitar in my teens. I was in two bands. But I couldn’t seem to make myself get better at guitar playing so I quit. And I played the recorder briefly. I was in a recorder consort that performed at a Renaissance Festival. That wasn’t interesting whatsoever. Have I seen ‘All About Lily Chou Chou’? I can’t remember, so maybe not. I know ‘Vengeance is Mine’ assuming it’s the same film. Zac’s and my films heavily linger on faces, so yes. Our characters are always quite introverted, and doing that is key to making our films work. Wishing you a fruitful week in return. ** Misanthrope, I was famous for my carrot cake at a certain point years ago. The trick is to not make a carrot cake too sweet because they’re usually way too sweet. Nice birthday. I’ve never had a Funko pop. I guess they must sell them over here. Massive luck on the 9th, and of course more so on the 18th. I’m sure it’ll just be a fly through. Get yourself rewarded. ** Charalampos, Cool. And thanks. I wish I could transport our weirdly spring-like cool weather down there. Well, not all of it, but a helpful portion. Luck with the boy troubles. Hi from Paris and me trying to write something I promised to write and without terribleness. ** julian, Hi. Oh, maybe the early vampire movies are a decent entrance. They’re fun, and they’ll let you know how interested you are in his style. Wilson contributed to her ARTPOP thing, right, makes sense. I usually try to start doing the p.s. between 8:30 and 9 am, but I often end up starting just after 9 am. It usually takes me anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours+ to finish the p.s. depending on the number and complexity of the comments. ** Steve, MP3 player, whoa. ‘The Blue Mask’ was a pretty good one. I sort of tend to think ‘The Bells’ was maybe the last really good one. Happy to have provided the links. ** Carsten, Very long story as short as possible, Zac and I crazily decided we wanted to to go Antarctica. To get there you take a ship with a bunch of mostly rich people from Ushuaia, Argentina. When you get there you sail along one part of Antarctica for ten days. You sleep on the ship, and every day they take you to the shore in little boats and you can walk or hike around in a supervised way. There’s nothing there but snow, ice and penguins. No plants, no insects, nothing. You’ve never experienced such silence. One night they let you sleep overnight in tents on the surface. Sounds kind of boring, but I can assure you that being in Antarctica was completely mind blowing. The 300 euro/year healthcare I have is pretty good but not completely thorough. I think if I was hospitalised I’d have to pay something but it would be shockingly little. I haven’t yet been ill or anything since I got it, so it’s still a mystery to me. ** Bill, I think you probably have the overall deal. Shipley’s most recent book ‘Stab Frenzy’ is quite good too. ** Måns BT, Måns!!! Hey, buddy! Haha, sounds like you had a classic Berlin experience, and your love of it is both utterly confusing to me and wholly admirable. Basmah, whoop! Good going. Oh, shit, you remind me that I extremely need to write to the film place in Stockholm. Shit, I’ve been so busy with film. I hope they still want to screen the film. I’ll write to them. Oh, fuck, I hope I didn’t blow that golden opportunity. We have some festivals and screenings coming up that I’m just about to get the green light to announce. That sounds most lovely and promising with the girl. I guess keep doing what you’re doing. Congrats so far, pal. That’s so nice. Laika’s idea was that ‘God Jr.’ would be their first combo animation and live action film. They had the option for almost ten years, and they were planing it and giving me updates, but they never quite figured out how to do that combo to their satisfaction, and so eventually they begged off. It was cool, it was sad. So very nice to see you!!! ** Hugo, I’m so over zombies, Jesus. ‘Martin’ is really good, I agree. I hope you’re not sick. Wood being knocked. That is a nice opening. Your friend is quite talented. Does he write outside of his diary? ** HaRpEr //, Hi. When you say comfortable, do you mean compromised? To me I think being comfortable means I can do my work more concentratedly and well. I’m not a huge Pasolini fan, much to the shock of most of my film buff friends. His films just don’t reach me interestingly. ‘Teorema’ interested me in that it seemed like Pasolini doing Bunuel. I liked the early part of it when it was playing around visually. I was okay with the Terrence Stamp phase, but the aftermath seemed really half-baked. His films seem kind of half-baked me to a lot. I recognise that the problem is mine. I think if I had to pick a film of his that I think is the most okay it would maybe be ‘Porcile’, but I think Pierre Clementi’s involvement is probably what tips the balance. ** lotuseatermachine, Hi machine with interesting eating habits! Maybe start with the early vampire ones. I used to take a ton of LSD when I was young and loved it, but marijuana always made me paranoid and I avoided it. Strange. Probably a good idea to stay away from drugs. Their invasions are definitely not always helpful or worth the attacking aspect. ‘The Ruins’ is kind of fun. You live in Australia? Why did I not realise that. I’ve only been to Melbourne, which reminded me a lot of LA, and Tazmania. Seemed very interesting, but, gosh, the plane trip to get there and jet lag, whoa. ** horatio, Happy to have a facilitated a fun viewing experience. Oh, great, about Athens International Film and Video Festival! I’ll submit our film to them this very day. Cool, exciting and soon to be nerve-wracking. Thanks about your prof. My weekend was semi-relaxing, which is realistically as good as it gets, I think? I hope your week relaxes you, but not too much, of course. ** Right. I don’t generally like to focus the blog on my own work, but … For a few years I was concentrated on making novels using animated gifs, as some of you may know. I used the blog’s behind-the-scenes space to construct them, and sometimes I shared parts here when I felt okay with them. So I’m restoring one of those parts today for whatever reason. The gif fiction up above ended up being a chapter in my gif novel ‘Zac’s Freight Elevator’, which I think is probably the best of the five gif novels I made. Anyway, that’s what’s going on here today. See you tomorrow.

    I always loved this sculpture by Evan Holloway. Left Handed Guitarist was created around the time when I still had some residue of hero worship lingering around my conscience. Had tickets to see Nirvana in Manchester back in the mid 90s but of course fate intervened.

    Hi!!

    Ah yes! I love your gif novels so much – it’s really nice to see this excerpt again! Thank you! I’ve always wondered – how did you usually compile them? Did you always have a clear idea or inner image of what should come next and then look specifically for gifs that fit?

    Talking about a bunch of books and films based on no other criteria than that they should inspire interesting conversations with interesting people – honestly, that sounds like a dream.

    Right?! I really, really don’t want to end up being lactose intolerant. General tests show I’m not, but I’ve had suspiciously similar issues from time to time, and both my mom and grandmother are severely lactose intolerant, the genetic kind, so… the odds aren’t looking great.

    A pretty good name change, though it probably wouldn’t make love any less busy than he is now! Love watching “The Room Next Door” by Pedro Almodóvar and not feeling too blown away, Od.

    hi dennis!

    your animated gif novels are such a unique and interesting concept, altho i’m not sure if i totally understand them. are there supposed to be clear plots or are they more like tone poems etc.? i always love seeing anime gifs pop up in them.

    the name ‘lotuseatermachine’ is a reference to the trope of the same name: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LotusEaterMachine

    it’s basically an ‘experience machine’ (ala the robert nozick thought experiment) that you’re trapped in forever and have simulated experiences of perfection and utopia til your physical body dies (the ‘lotus eater’ part of it is specifically a reference to the lotus eaters from homer’s odyssey). i’ve personally never really understood the arguments against the idea of staying in the machine forever, it just seems like an objectively better existence than not being in it. i originally wanted to use the name to make ambient music that subverted the typically optimistic/new-agey nature of ambient (ala terre thaemlitz), and i chose the name as something that sounds nice and rosey on the surface but is actually more dark and uncomfortable on further analysis. i never ended up making any ambient music under that name (or much music in general) but maybe i will someday.

    i might start with ‘the rape of the vampire’ as my first jean rollin.

    i watched ‘teorema’ last year and i also had mixed feelings about it. aside from ‘teorema’ i haven’t seen any pasolini for over a decade but i remember finding a lot of his movies fairly underwhelming. my favourites (out of the ones i’ve seen) was definitely the trilogy of life (‘arabian nights’ being my favourite). i’m always frustrated when i see a director/movie that is acclaimed and i feel underwhelmed by. i also experience that with derek jarman, eloy de la iglesia (tho i still wanna see all of his films), and (most recently) with todd solondz. i watch them and i wonder why i don’t enjoy them more cuz they should be right up my alley.

    i’ve been to melbourne twice and while i didn’t explore it too much, i mostly just thought it was like brisbane (albeit with more people cuz melbourne is much more densely populated). i’ve also been to tazmania before but i was quite young so i don’t remember too much about it (other than seeing snow for the first time there).

    i can only imagine how exhausting a plane from america to australia would be. i’ve never been to america (tho i’d like to someday) but i’m dreading the future plane trip there.

    I think my favorite Lou Reed album is “Lulu,” and so many Lou Reed fans hate that album. Which, in theory, I can sort of understand, but just that one song/track “Junior Dad.” That song is fantastic and beautiful.

    Your GIF novels are a strange & bewildering maze to me. But I dig that about the blog: at least once a week you post something I don’t instinctively “get”, something on another wavelength, but it’s always fascinating, creative, unique. Now right now on a laptop it even looks like certain gifs are not loading, which makes the post look like the 21st century equivalent to a Mesopotamian clay tablet with ellipses in it. But I’ll look again later on another device.

    Well brother, unlike most people who “crazily decide” to go to Antarctica you actually did it, so respect. Not a second of that sounds boring. It’s not exactly an experience I envy you for, being a lizard who can’t stand the cold, but I totally get why you found it mind-blowing–how could it be anything but?

    Had an interesting experience watching two Michel Franco films this weekend. Do you ever have to fight the urge to criticize an artwork for not being the one you would’ve made? I try not to, but couldn’t help it here. New Order depicts an uprising of the poor against the rich in Mexico. Franco takes the neutral, non-partisan approach… or so he claims, but still we spent the first half hour in the presence of the 1%. Once the rioters arrive they are an anonymous mass of pure aggression. From then on it descends into sheer nihilism. The whole thing irritated me & led nowhere. And my own convictions stood in the way–call me an idealist, but I still believe in revolution. So my version would certainly come off as socialist propaganda compared to Franco’s.

    Sundown is the overcooked film. Tim Roth pretends to lose his passport in Acapulco so he doesn’t have to fly back home to bury his mom. It’s not quite as Camus as it sounds. Basically he drops out & spends his days drinking beer at the beach & dating a local girl. Then Franco throws in a variety of plot complications & background to explain him: all unnecessary. I guess either you instinctively understand the urge some of us have to drop out & live “the simple life” or you don’t. I would’ve dropped all the baggage: you start with him bailing on his old life & by depicting nothing other than his newfound joy gradually reveal what made him do it in the first place. So the ugly old life would never be mentioned, but by seeing how he reacts to the new one you color in that negative space on your own. I know, easier said than done, & it’d demand a lot more of its audience.

    I watched LOST IN NEW YORK yesterday. That was the first Rollin film which feels like a masterpiece. Its integration of late ’80s NYC street scenes into an oneiric fantasy is a stunner.

    Having been feeling lousy for the last few weeks, I just got back from the doctor, for a follow-up visit about my bloodwork. It indicates I probably have a bacterial infection. He drew more blood today, and the lab’s results will determine the course of treatment.

    Did you ever consider turning GIFs into animated films?

  7. jay

    Hey Dennis! I really, really love your gif novels, some days more than your more traditional writing. They’re cool now, but I can’t imagine how weird they were when gifs as a form started. They’ve all really impacted how I see the world, I’m a massive fan. My ex flatmates were really into them too, we ended up watching the anime that features really heavily in the novels – I think it was called “Given”, it’s the one with all the guitars? It was amazing to re-view the original scenes the gifs are from, because I’ve seen the original action repeated dozens of times in gif-form, and then it passes in an instant. Anyway, they’re so, so good. I’m not entirely sure what the intent behind them was, but they’re unlike anything else, by you or anyone else.

    Yeah, my weekend was great! I went to the Jenny Saville retrospective in London, which was sort of underwhelming, but in an interesting way. And tonight, I’m seeing “Bring Her Back” which I will report back on. The main slasher/killer is an actor I really like, so that should be fun, even if the rest is a bit inert. Oh, and Edouard Levé’s “Suicide” is back in print in English, so I may be on the hunt for a copy of that in a bookshop. I like that theory about men finding ways to insert into lesbian sexuality, that’s a very satisfying theory.

    P.S. Lily Chou-Chou is so worth watching. It’s a weird early internet-ish coming-of-age film about a group of very secretive and sometimes nasty teenagers, with a custom-made soundtrack for the main musician the film is about. I really recommend it, it’s on Internet Archive I believe.

    Hey Dennis,

    I really enjoyed this archived post. I’m wondering: id love to write a post about new publishing projects, small presses, etc.. lmk if you’d be interested

    I’ve never really been a huge guitar guy (I will admit to preferring acoustic guitar to electric), but I do make some exceptions. In particular, Lindsey Buckingham, Steve Howe, some of those postpunk/Goth guitar guys (Bernard Sumner, Daniel Ash, John McGeoch, Keith Levene, Vini Reilly), Michael Cashmore, James Dean Bradfield. Big Black/Sonic Youth had a great guitar sound as well. I’m sure I’m forgetting some. Want to know who’s a pretty good guitarist? Thomas Ligotti! He doesn’t record much though. Well, being a writer and all. Not that he writes much either these days!

    This year instead of our usual vacation to Maine my family and I are taking a staycation, for reasons I won’t bore you with. So mostly just staying in or going to local places. Though today we did go to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was the first time we’ve been since the early 2000s, and our third visit overall (first visit was mid-1990s, when it was in a totally different building). The last time we went I recall I wore a T-shirt which had a picture of William S. Burroughs holding a rifle (again, this was in the early 2000s, when I was a “rebel”).

    I can’t find anything about this “Alex Reidy” online, which makes that GIF all the more hilarious to me. Your whole GIF fiction concept is so fascinating. Do you ever have a certain story in mind when making them or is it more just a collection of evocative images for the viewer to interpret? One time I tried to do something similar with emojis and gave up very quickly. Maybe I’ll try it again another day. I’m very interested in experimenting with how symbols can make these instant connections in our brains. Now I’m thinking about a novel made up of brand logos/slogans. I’ll check out Rollin’s vampire movies, for sure. Wow, I admire your hard work. Next time I feel lazy I’ll think of you.

  11. Måns BT

    Hi again, pal!
    No worries about the Stockholm film people, I’m sure you haven’t blow any opportunity and that they’ll be very happy to continue scheduling as soon as you’ve answered!
    Man, when you talk about what that ’God Jr’ movie could’ve been I’m even more saddened by the fact it didn’t happen. Sounds insanely cool.
    Oh, by the way, you watched a lot of Chris Morris’s work? I recently got into him, after I watched ONE episode of ’Jam’ and was so charmed I bought it and everything else he’s made on DVD. Something about his humor and attitude is just so cool to me.
    Reading anything? I’m kind of in a drought and in need of more literature to plunge into.
    Wishing you a lovely day
    Måns

    Hey Dennis

    Thank you for the luck regarding the novel competition. My plan is to work towards getting that 5k manuscript done for September 14, but at the same time if I don’t get it, I can always submit again next year.

    It’s my birthday on Thursday, and I’m very ambivalent on what I want to do; on the one hand, I don’t have the time energy or desire to organize something big, on the other hand, I don’t want to be alone, or regret not hanging out with people before a lot of my friends move away.

    I was considering going to rugby training tomorrow, one or two guys mentioned it to me. I was really considering it, but I think I’m just not up for it yet. Maybe soon…

    Anyway, I decided to start playing Harvest Moon on the DS recently as a bit of a distraction/a simple game world to focus on. It was a game I loved as a child but never fully completed, or at least never got to the ‘getting married’ stage of the game which is basically an end.

  13. HaRpEr //

    Ah yes, long live the gif novel. It is interesting to think about where the future of non-writing based internet writing will go. Maybe one day cliques of writers will digitally assemble to share their own gif novels.

    I don’t like Pasolini as much as others seem to either. I think people really look to him as a god, but I could never go that far. I think telling someone you are a Pasolini fan is signaling that you’re into certain kinds of things, and when I talk to people about him they always bring up his life more than his work which is sort of suspect to me. But he has a lot of films and some of them I do really like.

    Well yes, comfort means compromise. I didn’t mean comfort in terms of unstable living conditions and money troubles, I suppose I meant it in terms of doing what is easier and what people want you to do. To play it safe, basically. Everyone keeps telling me that I should apply for jobs in publishing. I’d really only do that if it was for a press I respected, and even then I wouldn’t want to do it long term. And the long term thing is a part of comfort. My dad wanted to be an artist and then he got a job as a photo researcher for a company that doesn’t exist anymore, and he got too comfortable and stopped. I wouldn’t ever stop, I’ve known that I’ve wanted to do this and live this way since I’ve been able to articulate a thought, and yeah, I still cling to my naivety. I had a breakdown when I was fifteen, partly due to recognising the mediocrity of a lot of adulthood and wanting to do everything I could to escape it, and I keep thinking about that. Anyway, I’m sure I’m overthinking it like I always do. It’s just that everything is uncertain right now and until I get that first foot off of the ground I’m a bit of a nervous wreck.

    Hey there, Dennis, I’m glad you’ve been doing well. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve been struggling for the past few days. A particularly bad experience occurred on Saturday, and it’s left me with a sense of dread that I’ve been trying to overcome. Often, my depression comes out in random bursts that last a day, but I still feel cold.

    I’ve been at home focused on being patient with myself. A struggle that’s been on my mind is confusion about not having the language to do justice to how I’m feeling internally. Within social circles, I can become displaced when I face reactions such as irony towards points I’m trying to convey. This particularly impacts me when I’m trying to discuss my special interests, but I miss out on a kind of reciprocation. What we talked about before, with “imagining myself in other people’s minds”, relates to this. Today I calmed myself down a bit. A source of reassurance for me is this unedited interview with David Foster Wallace from the early 2000s. What I see in it is a struggle to use the words known to them to illustrate an overpowering displacement. His articulation of language is something I see myself in, as there’s a similar struggle with sincerity and a desire to be seen for what you stand for. It can be easy for some to gloss over his intricate prose, but what I see is an ambition to try and understand how people respond. Being reminded of how I can respond to that is quite inspiring. I think it’s a shame that some people generalise his work as an encapsulation of “the mundane” and leave it there. Seeing that attempt at engagement did uplift me today.

    Beyond that, I’ve also been pushing forward with Twin Peaks: The Return. I’ve been slow to watch it, but I’m in a position where I’ve settled into its fascinating allure. Something in particular that’s stuck with me is how violence is constructed. There can be shows that engage with similar actions that provide a sense of security even during moments of despair. In this show, it’s quite spontaneous, and it lingers on that notion. There’s a particularly captivating scene in Episode 6 with Harry Dean Stanton that I just sat with for a while. I’m very eager to continue it.

    Do you have any plans for this week? I’m going to be meeting with Via again on Wednesday. It’s my turn to show one of my favourite films and I’ve chosen Millennium Actress. It’s my personal favourite from Satoshi Kon. I’m excited to see what she thinks of it.

    Wish you all the best!

    Hey Dennis.

    My friend is happy with what you had to say about his work. He doesn’t do much writing outside of his diary and note-taking, but now that I suggested writing more to him, he said he was ambivalent about becoming a “deranged gay writer.”
    He’s also angry because he now thinks he could’ve passed his English GCSE with flying colors. I dunno, I think he’s a great kid with a cool mind, and I just wish he could see that better and feel better about himself. But maybe that’s hypocritical coming from me, I dunno. I’m quite protective of him, I suppose you would understand.

    I actually had a dream based on yr Jean Rollin post. I was just kinda jumping and flying around a street biting people while a kid begged me to give him a balloon. He thought I was a clown, and everyone else seemed to approach me like one, even though I was clearly some kind of vampire who was trying to kill people. I got very angry about this, so I hunted down a whole circus and tried gassing them in a big tent, but then I started crying cuz all the kids around me started having seizures where they bit off their tongues.
    Then the dream ended.
    Sadly, no lesbians. Make of this what you will.

    I might head to Toronto sometime this month, maybe in September too. I always feel the need to go somewhere, and I would like to abuse that ability while I still have the means to do so.

    Love the gifs, I read them and feel them well. Though other commentators have asked questions that I would ask about them, so I will just say I love them v much.

    Have a good (non mediocre) Tuesday.

    Hey man! I made pancakes from scratch so here’s one I saved for u 🥞

    I have honey in my fridge.

    Right now it’s 12pm and me and Frankie (the cat) are relaxing in my “art/study/writing” listening to Dean blunt and other similar artist just that type of Monday. Oh I just found out Elias Rønnenfelt did a cover of Spaceman 300 which makes sense with his vocals.

    I am just relaxing a bit, about to write/work on my book for a good two hours or so but I’m trying to find these ways of not stressing myself out too much about other life things., Characters/Ideas are always harder to get down on concept/paper character then it is to linger as a fixed idea in your brain. Is that just me?. Frankie has this weird warm black cat smell. I pass it on to you.

    I had matcha latte for the first time at a cafe called “Drift” Its one of those clean trendy food places that sell acái bowls and avocado toast, but I’m not complaining it was fucking delicious and I’ll b going back go. I miss New York already! Oh I can’t wait to save money and head back. Trying to get my laptop back working makes me want to bang my head against the wall all the frustration it brings. It certainly was enjoyable having one, I can manage without. but it’s easier having one especially since most my current writing needs to be transferred to a computer. Everytime I use the library one there’s this old lady who just kinda laughs a lot watching videos and it’s distracting.
    I’m reading your book Marbled Swarm, past the part where Alfonse is fucked to death and the splattering SFX part in my head that seemed pertinent. I’ll give like a genuine thorough review when I’m done, so thorough I’ll write a letter. Haha I’m being funny but also serious.
    I hope your week is great! What have you been working on? How many hours do you suppose you write roughly during a day?

    Your gif novels are such a sweet concept, I can only imagine they’re a lot of fun to put together. Are they? They make me think of this website my friends and I use to make gif collages… Have you ever heard of pixmix? If not, I’d highly recommend messing around with the site.

    So excited about your film submission, I definitely plan on returning to Athens for the festival & would be ecstatic to see your film on the big screen in my home state. Wishing RT the best of luck, but I know your film will get in, it simply must!

    Totally unrelated to anything, but if you had to have animal ears on top of your head, what kind of ears would you pick? I would choose cat ears.

  18. Constanze Brodbeck

    These gifs are awesome, I’m trying to get the storyline cause Horatio is telling me there is one. I’m totally uninitiated and taking this on a purely emotional level. Fucking after a show maybe? Fucking backstage? I like the black butler one where the guy’s eye becomes a pentagram.

    I’m glad you find it fascinating! The mp4 in the drop box link is the first 2ish hours of a 6 hour set that I don’t have all the music for. The opening dog girl hypno goes hard and the horse orgy afterwards felt effective. The set is definitely more searchy than I would’ve liked and I wish I had more time to prepare. My next set is about taking too much acid and becoming a cat girl with hppd. Based on my recent experience taking too much acid and turning into a cat girl.

    If you want to poke around the rest of the 6 hours after the cutoff I’ll link the videos below. They’re just without the music.

    Hello, Dennis!

    I am a new fan working my way through your stuff currently. Your blog feels like a pretty tight community which is nice to see in such a day and age. These gif novels are so fun, have never encountered one before.

    Hope you are well 😀
