A monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.
I saw this beautiful fanart by Matsuyama Miyabi of the Adams Family in kimono. But I was kinda sad that Thing didn’t get his own little kimono, so I drew him in one.
