Human Venom, Horror Elephants & Satanic Love

Dear Brothers & Friends,

BROTHER BEASTUS 𖤐 GRIMOIRE is an adventure. This grimoire is a work in progress. I’m still working my magic on it, that magic has a name, and it’s resilience.

To be totally honest, I’ve been under extraordinary levels of stress lately—as I know many of you, my Brothers & Friends, are as well.

• Humans could evolve venom: “Could future humans evolve to have venom glands? In new research, scientists causally link early salivary glands with what eventually became venom glands in many animals. Because saliva is the common thread, that means anyone with salivary glands could eventually develop venom.” —Humans Will Probably Evolve to Be Venomous, Popular Mechanics

• The horror safari—Francis Bacon & dead elephants: “Dead elephants trigger off more ideas than living ones. They are suggestive of all types of beauty.”— The horror safari: why was Francis Bacon so triggered by dead elephants?, The Guardian

• Can horror films be set in space? That was the controversy this week on Twitter. Here’s a good summary of it. One of my fave tweets is this one from @ruff_bluffs

  Sci fi can be horror, anything can be horror because everything is horrifying

• BDSMLR update: I deleted the Brother Beastus BDSMLR account this past week due to a lack of confidence in the leadership of the site.

I enjoy editing and sharing the little bits of devilish and otherwise interesting things that I find on Tumblr, Twitter, and across the open internet. But my covert intent behind it all since 2016 has been towards building community—sometimes in little ways and other times in big ways. 

That’s the spirit in which I try to engage with this, my grimoire.

That means this grimoire is going to be an adventure for a while. I’m going to be mixing it up until I’m happy with it. You will get to see my process. 

At some point, I may add donations to support this work—it takes a lot of time and personal energy to create all this—but also to create monetary award prizes for creator contributions from writers, artists, etc.

I want this to grow. I’m excited to announce that BROTHER BEASTUS 𖤐 GRIMOIRE just hit 99 followers!

A few features are going on hiatus—meaning that they will likely come back. They are still good ideas, but they are temporarily going away because they need more than I can give them right now. Those include the flash fiction contest and the Onlyfans reviews. That means ‘Black Party’ too for now.

Gratefully, Brother Beastus 𖤐
