Fiery Tentacle Twist - Feeping Creatures monster figurine

Waiting for random knights to show up and storm the castle can be lonely, dull work. Hence, the typical tentacle twist composes angsty poetry to pass the time.

Waiting here in solitude,
Upon the loneliness I brood.
Guarding treasures is my lot,
But such trinkets please me not.
I yearn only to be free
of self-imposed captivity!

As you may have gleaned, the tentacles are really just for show. The monster intends to slay the hero with bad verse.

When sneaking into the basements of Lego castles, it is best to be on your guard for slithery, squiggly things that may be lurking amidst the bricks.

Feeping Creatures Purple & Gray Tentacle Twist Figurine

Why did I have to go and invoke things going according to plan yesterday? They, of course, did not. Sigh! Fate needs to learn to resist temptation, is what it is.

Blue & Black Tentacle Twist

Lately I've been working on getting some older pieces listed in the Feeping Creatures Etsy Store, mostly flat art that's been hidden away in folders, waiting for me to get around to dealing with it.

I've also been upgrading photos of pieces that only had one image, or whose images were too small. What I have learned is that my camera is kinda crap. I mean, I did get it for free several years ago, so perhaps I should not be surprised, but an upgrade of equipment may well be in the offing.

Road Feeps - Tentacle Larva at Grant's Tomb

It is, according to the posted information, the largest mausoleum in the United States. We got there right as it was closing, so only had but a moment to peek inside. It was rather interesting to contrast Grant's Tomb with the mausoleums in Mt. Auburn Cemetery (where we had just been), and which until now had seemed impressively elaborate and ornate.

No, for this you gotta be more than just rich.

Sure, cemeteries are filled with ghosts and ghouls, but one must stop and appreciate the little horrors as well.

Blue Tentacle Twist in the snow

The air conditioner in my car died, so as we hurtle into summer in Texas I'm taking a moment to remember fondly our brush with snow earlier this year.

Purple Coil Twist

These are, I believe, the tubes from which the internet is made. If you journey down inside you will discover that everything is day-glo green and black (take care not to step in the You Tube comments).

Ren Feeps - Tentacle Twist and Shakespeare

Let us wrap up this edition of Ren Feeps with Shakespeare's reaction to finding a writing mass of tentacles on his shoulder. (Verily, it just wanted some advice on constructing narratives in iambic pentameter.)

Worried about rapscallions and vagabonds attempting to pilfer your wares whilst you yourself are unawares? Consider hiring a guard monster to loom over your tent.

Ren Feeps - The lull before showtime commences

Waiting for a performance to start. This is really just an excuse to show off my boots.

Ren Feeps - The Mysterious Device

But does it spit out ducats, or just pieces of eight?

Ren Feeps - Chess

Tentacle Twists are genetically predisposed to becoming chess grandmasters. Managing all those tentacles makes you good at keeping track of what needs to go where when, and how.

Ren Feeps - Claw foot table

This is a good place to hide from that giant, hungry-looking bird monster.

Renaissance Feeps - Interactive Performance

The feep watches one of those acts that tries to get the audience involved, and adds its own twist to the proceedings.

Tentacle Twist has not yet realized the downsides to building a nest here.
