The Vampire's Nest is a personal site for artwork, shrines, ocs, and cool stuff I salvage. The usual warnings for eyestrain and flashing images apply to all pages, in addition to warnings for blood, gore, swearing, crude humor, and suggestive themes. You can find other cool Neocities websites on the left sidebar; below that, some resources to help Palestine during the ongoing genocide. On the right sidebar you can find Vampire! Magazine (an OC zine) and the OC pages. Below that, the update log and some fun bits 'n bobs. Feel free to steal my blinkies! No credit needed!
Hail satan, and have a lovely afternoon!
FREE PALESTINE NOW!
GAZAFUNDS.COM loads a random vetted Palestinian fundraiser on every refresh. Donating even just the price of your morning coffee goes toward helping families survive.
See the links on the left sidebar for the history of the genocide in Palestine, active BDS movement boycotts, and a local representative locator that you can use to contact them and enact change.
This page (and the website as a whole) is a love letter to anarchy and punk culture. Why focus so strongly on politics? "In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds, and in order to hear the birds, the warplanes must be silent." —Marwan Makhoul
I could go on and on about how politics effects everything we do, but at the end of the day, punk is political because we got done dirty by the status quo in myriad ways and we just want to live our lives and listen to bangin' music. A big part of being punk is realizing the world as we know it is built on training people to be polite and digressing while the rich and powerful step on their necks and tell them it's supposed to be this way (that it's always been this way). All the bullshit we live under is a symptom of a sick society running the planet into the ground — and taking as many innocent people with it as possible. So, why NOT make it political? Use your space and time on this earth to scream to power, on behalf of the people who are dying by the thousands in the name of a handful of rich cunts' bottom lines. Find your representatives. Show up to protests. Graffiti something. Do everything you can to make everyone's lives a little better.
"Monastery Courtyard in the Snow" by Carl Friedrich Lessing, 1828.
This painting has such an atmosphere about it! The cold snow painted with smoky strokes and sharp contrasts to the needles on the foreground tree; looking closer, you can see the hunched figures of the statues as if they're curled up for warmth, the gargoyle fountain's stream frozen solid, and the figures cloaked in monastery robes obscured in the shadow of the arched walkway with just a hint of warmth painted in warm yellow golds seeping from the inside. What a gorgeous painting.
I'm always a little disappointed I can't put MORE art on here but I do have limited space. For more cool art, check out my Tumblr tag!
