Sleep Paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either falling asleep or waking up, temporarily experience the inability to move. Scientifically its the transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle atonia (muscle weakness).
I’ve known several people who have had sleep paralysis, who have even made characters who share the same trait. I’ve never suffered from it myself but I find the folklore around it fascinating, because no matter what nation of origin it always has to do with the visitation of a demon or vengeful spirit who either sits on, restrains, or strangles said victim. And so I drew my own little depiction of it, complete with a demon girl puking black stuff on a guy.
I dunno, sue me.
Fun Fact Of the Day #1 the myth of the succubus and incubus came out of the hallucinations people have when they experience sleep paralysis
Fun Fact Of The Day #2 this dude’s art is so fucking rad
Ah yes, my kindred.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS KIDDING SOGMLASG
HOLY SHIT
If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything
I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person
must keep reblogering!! Im going to be so suspicious if any one tells me this now!
Remember the answer is: I stole them from the president
Doing it on vocation!!! My shoelaces will be blue ;)))
i tried to scroll past this but that one reblog just might save somebodies life
SO THERE IS A MANGA SET IN 19TH CENTURY CENTRAL ASIA AND THE HEROINE RIDES HORSES AND SHOOTS THINGS AND IS COMPLETELY CHARMING AND IT’S FULL OF REALLY WELL WRITTEN FEMALE CHARACTERS WHO ARE PORTRAYED AS CAPABLE AND STRONG AS THEY DO TRADITIONALLY FEMININE THINGS AND ALSO THERE’S GREAT GAME POLITICS AND THE ART IS INCREDIBLE AND IT’S JUST… NICE, I ENJOYED IT A LOT
this goes around every now and then so I thought I’d bring it back
LINDEN THIS IS WHAT YOU AND I AND (???) KATIE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER DAY
bride’s story is incredible
I find the lack of credit a little confusing since it’s so good (mentioning a name or some characters is not a bad thing yo). It’s by Kaoru Mori, the person who did Emma (another historical romance).
I gots a new bunny and idk what to name him!! i’m thinking Helicase (Heely for short), Primidine (Py for short) Spliceosome (Splicer for short) or maybe Jabberwok. What are everyone elses opinions? any other ideas?? (he feels like velvet!!!)
i just hate how whenever i examine myself in the mirror i just look way to into it. like i know everyone has hair all of their body but i feel like tiny lite hairs all over me stand out more, especially the ones on my face. cause i have really pale skin and really dark hair so it just stands out more to me. it really bothers me because i honestly don’t if anyone else notices (because that’s not really something people tell another person especially to a girl it’s like “oh hey you have facial hair” kinda thing nah) or if i’m just super self-conscience bleh
