The Grand Grimoire

A grinning black owl clinged to the dead hawthorn, spreading it's branches over the black graveyard fence. It almost seemed like the twisted tree was trying to escape through the tall bars of cold metal. It must've known that there was no way out and yet it tried to reach the freedom beyond the horrible cemetery.
In the shadows, between the numerous massive crypts walked a dark figure. He slid his hand along the cracked wall of an ancient mausoleum. The faint breath of the centuries slowly leaked out of the marble and sent traces of long forgotten memories flashing through his head. The man stopped and took a deep breath.
It wasn't the tomb he was looking for... but he could feel it getting closer and closer by the step. The ghastly gentleman gallantly stepped in front of a heavily tilted marble cross bearing celtic engravings under a thick layer of moss. Thin streams of rain were dripping down his face and soaking into his black tailcoat embroidered with bloodred silk. The sky was almost completely black as if it was reflecting the man's state of mind. A threatening thunderclap woke him from the shallow daydream, that had silently crept to his mind and he could feel that he wasn't alone anymore.

"Hello, Viki." The man stood still and listened to the girl's feet swinging through the air in the most childish and carefree way while she was sitting on top of a comically large and out of shape tombstone. One of her black and white striped stockings was pulled up over her knee and the other one had fallen loosely around her ankle. The girl casted a glance from beneath her tophat, which was tightly stitched together from grayish-brown pieces of human skin. Her face was framed with perfect locks of bright white hair and her fern-green eyes rimmed with odd golden rings around her irises.
"My name is Victoria." She said with a slight irritation in her soft voice.
"I heard you were in town... I thought that even you wouldn't be so stupid to lift your foot in my town, but I was obviously wrong, Mr. H."
The man adjusted his perfectly round glasses and looked at the girl.
"It's doctor actually... And I can assure you that I am not looking for trouble."
She jumped off the tombstone and placed her index finger on the man's red cravat.
"Then what are you looking for, darling?"
"I'm guessing that you won't leave me alone until you find out..."
"That's right, honey. So you better start talking or I am forced to use... force." Her cute grin took a mad and rather sinister tone.

Dr. H  closed his eyes and tried to pick up the dark trace again.
"I bet you have heard of the Grand Grimoire." The girls eyes widened and although the man had shut his, he could still see everything. "I thought so." He continued. "The Grimoire of Honorius- The mother of every grimoire. I have traced it for decades now... I missed it in 1332 when captain John Crabbe cursed his ship and crew for eternity with the help of that book. I tell you he was a horrible man, but a genius at that... no one else had a ship-mounted catapult. John Dee had it for a while and Erik Weisz, a man of many names, people thought he was a fake, but in actuality a very influential magician... hiding behind cheap tricks, smoke and mirrors."
The man had led the girl to the other end of the graveyard without opening his eyes and talking all along.
The girl seemed worried. "You think it's here?"
"I know it." The man replied "I can feel it... whispering..."
The man opened his eyes and beheld the grotesque building towering in front of him. Large stone-slabs forming dark walls, that hold the most horrible curse. Two grinning devil statues on each side of the massive door added yet another dimension of evil to the atrocious crypt. He placed one hand on the weird decorative plate right in the middle of the door, his eyes lit up in a miasma of dark-red lights, while the giant stone-plate imbued with flaming-red cracks and finally cascaded into millions of little pieces. His eyes turned back to normal as he starightened his coat. The white haired girl stared into his eyes and asked:
"What are you going to do with it?"
He looked down at her and smirked as he backed into the stairway leading under the cemetery.
"Destroy the world, cupcake...destroy the world."

I can make a difference!

Hellow, you! Yes, you!
I can change the world! But I do think that changing this blog takes less effort and feels more rewarding, so I decided to make this blog completely mine! *Insert evil laugh (Something in the lines of The Joker and a regular humanoid demon)* Solomon is gone... May his soul rest in peace. (He is not dead... yet, but I thought it would be more dramatic this way. Also I am not plotting to kill him... yet.) Oh yes, you might've noticed I changed my name... Well that is because Harker is an awesome name and it is connected to Jonathan. Jonathan Harker killed Dracula and Dracula, as we all know, was magnificent. And also if you Take the initials then it spells Hawthorne- Glorious! Soon I am going to post some pictures that I have drawn with my own hands... ON A PAPER!
I have obtained a new fandom- Supernatural. It's an ominous TV show, that actually makes sense, unlike the other shows handleing superstition. Watch it! I COMMAND YOU! This show has made even more fond of everything awesome... like zombies, werewolves, ghosts and vampires.

Good night for now, I'll be at the cemetery if you need me! *Evil laugh *cough* Evil laugh*

Soviet waffles and Sparkle-Free Vampires

Firstly I want to say that waffles made with a soviet waffle iron taste like magic: I ate close to twelve waffles, but it seems that I like socialism even less now. CAPITALISM RULES!(Until I get poor and start wanting equality.)
Now onto the second topic: Sparkle-Free Vampires, no one seems to care about the classic, royal, nocturnal beasts, who made whole cities tremble with fear. Well I hope that there still are some people out there, who find the real vampires as fascinating as I do.
I give you The Blood list (all of them are equally better than Twilight) :

1. Van Helsing (2004) A brave adventurer, with his sidekick fighting against Dracula and meeting other fictional characters along the way. (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Frankenstein's monster)

2. Van Helsing: The London Assignment (2004) An anime prequel to the movie. It gives a closer look at Dr. Jekyll's ungodly attempts to create eternal youth.

2. Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror, 1922) This is a story based on Bram Stoker's "Dracula" with Max Schrek as Count Orlok. You might ask: "Where the hell did you get this ancient crappy looking movie?" to which I must simply reply with a "Fuck you, it's a classic! Count Orlok would fold your Edward in half and hang him up as a disco ball! Go watch your High school Musical, you fuckin' muggle!"

3. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) A tale of a vampire's eternal life. I would call the vampires in this movie the most royal ones there are. (Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Antonio Banderas)

4. Underworld (2003) The story of a female vampire warrior fighting in the war against lycans. Kate Beckinsale (The lead actor) is a connection between Underworld and Van Helsing... I like her.

5. Fright Night (2011) Movie about a normal high school student whose neighbour turns out to be a vampire. I am well aware that this is a remake, but I think that the magician Peter Vincent (David Tennant) is a much awesomer vampire killer than the original retired TV-actor Peter Vincent.

6. Blade (1998) An awesome take at the vampire genre with a half-blood vampire, who kills evil vampires with a katana. I personally thought that the whole trilogy is quite entertaining.

These are some good vampire movies, but I bet there are more... Like the one with Eddie Murphy(Vampire in Brooklyn, 1995), I think it was funny and fucking creepy at the same time. I mean look at him:

"I'm the guy, who played Donkey and now I'm gonna eat the shit out of you!"

Now for some Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

Lupercalia, The Masquerade, Bloodlines and Jeanette

Don't you just hate Valentine's Day? History lesson!!!: Valentine's Day (originally St. Valentine's Day) was created to praise St. Valentinus, who, according to the legend, secretly wed couples and finally died for what he believed. It started in eighteenth-century England 14th of February... Well ain't that a nice piece of bullshit.
Let's travel back in time now, to ancient Rome - A time when men fought with swords, shields, spears, clubs, rocks and their bare hands! 13th to 15th of February was the "Lupercalia" or "The Wolf Festival" - The celebration of the mother-wolf, who raised Romulus and Remus, the celebration of Spring. Lupercalia started with the sacrifice of two goats and a dog followed by a huge party with people in goatskins.

It is said that the Christians created Valentine's Day to make Lupercalia disappear and obviously they succeeded, but I think we all know which one was more awesome... despite the gory details.
I think Valentine's Day is a soggy and outdated holiday for dim-witted couples - It needs to change.
Now I know about the Forever Alone Day, but for people like me Forever Alone Day is every day.
I propose a new holiday celebrating an eternal part of rock history and future -
Bring forth The VanHalentine's Day! VanHalentine's Day celebrations might include listening to Van Halen, wearing wolf skins and doing whatever the fuck you want.

A few days ago I found a horror rpg, that makes most of the crap in the shops today look like...well...crap.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a game, that gives you the chance to be a nocturnal creature craving for blood. The first awesome thing about this game is a questionnaire, that will determine your vampire-bloodline. Each bloodline is unique and bloodline has a clan:

1. the Kingship Clan (Ventrue)
2. the Clan of the Beast (Gangrel)
3. the Moon Clan (Malkavian)
4. the Clan of the Hidden (Nosferatu)
5. the Wanderer Clan (Ravnos)
6. the Clan of the Rose (Toreador)
7. the Night Clan (Lasombra)
8. the Clan of Shapers (Tzimisce)
9. the Snake Clan (Followers of Set)
10. the Clan of Death (Cappadocian)
11. the Healer's Clan (Salubri)
12. the Clan of the Hunt (Assamite) 
13. the Learned Clan (Brujah)
14. Clan of Usurpers (Tremere)

There also are assorted bloodlines as well as an extinct clan or two.
The rest of the awesomeness is a mix of memorable characters, references to movies and vampiric rave music. (Note that I usually hate that kind of music.)
Although there has been some really sickening alterations of occult, my faith in vampires, werewolves and ghosts has been restored with a simple glance at the past.





Jeanette- My favourite character due to her... complicated personality and outstanding breasts.
