Skulls and skulls and more skulls.

Ah the skull, the human cranium, the headbone. there are few things as near and dear to us edgelords than the most vital bone in the human body.

Skulls have always had a sort of mystique to them, the Mayans were famously fond of them, the mexican Dia De Los Muertos feature skulls as a key motif, Pirates flew the jolly roger, Hamlet Iconically held the skull of "Ol Yorick" and to this day just about every edgy band on earth used a skull in some form and every emo kid had one on their notebook.

Yeah this whole post is just gonna be my late night death(Haha pun) spiral into skulls so, prep yourself.

I was pondering on human skulls, specifically pondering using one as a candy dish at my desk. and as I was scrolling through my social media brainrot apps and I came across THIS:

A crystal skull, Everyone knows the CONCEPT of crystal skulls, probably from that one Indiana jones movie we don't talk about. but to see an actual one was really striking to me. and when I saw that link to somewhere called "Skullis.com" I was compelled to check it out.

What I was greeted with was a veritable museum of beautifully carved skulls made from different crystals, not just human ones either! they had alien skulls, dragons, ravens, Dinosaurs, animals and even other stuff like carved boxes. My personal favorite were the 'functional' skulls which were things like mugs, hollow ones for lights, and pipes for smoking. Because honestly what is more metal that smoking some Zaza out of THIS:

(Bad to the bone riff)

Honestly the entire site is just super neat to look through, as someone who values wearing the 'quiet kid' image on his sleeve and having his vampire dungeon/office to write his schitzoposts on, This site is right up my alley and I got to recommend you just check it out for yourself.

What would be better than a crystal skull I hear no-one asking? A REAL skull of course! so I searched deeper seeking to find an actual skull, a PROPER skull, after all King Diamond had his melissa skull before it got stolen (Who tf steals a skull?) So I needed to have mine and give it a girl nickname.

Now for legal reasons I should mention that buying actual skulls or human remains in any capacity is a legal and moral minefield, I have no morals so, no harm on that front. but Legally you can't just BUY a skull, not everywhere anyway, if you end up buying a skull and getting in legal trouble from it I accept NO Responsibility.

ANYWAY. in my search for skulls I first came upon possibly the best thing ever. A human tibia bone sword.

Now I'm already a big Knife/sword geek so this. like seriously how is this NOT awesome? I'd literally carry that everywhere with me, I'd pass that thing onto my damn children! I did some more digging and found out it has since been sold (Sad) BUUUUUUT it was made by someone named Zane Wylie, an artist who sells an array of art using human remains, specifically skulls.

It's important to note that most of his catalogue are skull replicas, such as my two favorites here:

But Zane does have a few of ACTUAL skulls that he carved and sells for a HEFTY sum, an example is this one here, the so called "war chaplain"

(yours for only $18,250)

And my personal favorite, St Gonzaga:

(Same price)


Why did I write this? Idfk I'm bored and into morbid crap. anyway, Skulls! they're neat! Grab a fake one or crystal one, or if you got some money to burn grab one of those sick real ones. Me? I'll stick with what I can find at party city until Blogger starts paying me.
