Yesterday, I posted one of those promotion prompts on Twitter. I’ve always been mystified at how accounts with 2 followers post those and get a bazillion responses, tbh. But, I mean, I’ve tried once or twice before and they didn’t really happen. It’s a mystery.
However, I mean, I like paying it forward, right? I’ve got this darned account with a ton of followers that I rarely reach, but I thought why not try again?
Late yesterday, I just spent a shit ton of time thinking about this, and then doing the first draft for that hand drawn font, in the image above, inspired by the old
Fillmore posters by Bill Graham (and in particular
this groovy one) and posted it with a promotion prompt.
“Let’s help Dee experiment for the Queen by conjuring practitioners, authors, and creatives doing occult, esoteric, or, you know, adjacent fun freaky stuff! Happy
#OccultLoveFest-ursday! Is that you? Post what you’re doing! Find something interesting? Retweet, Like, & Comment!”
So I guess since I’ve created a whole graphic and a name for this, that means I’ll also be using this again? Also saying “OccultLoveFest-ursday” is funny. (Just now I’m also realizing it sounds like Occult Love Fester’s day. Which is okay and funny. However, Wednesday is still objectively the best Addams. For the record.)
Okay, that’s it then! Apparently I’m reviving Plutospyche’s old #OccultLoveFest hashtag? Somehow without entirely realizing it, this may have become a thing I’ll do each Thursday, for a while at least, on Twitter.
Also, I’ll probably, maybe, most likely, try to clean my draft design up and make a t-shirt for it, which would go to Patrons first, but then eventually show up on the new public merch shop too.
