High key really wanna hear her tackle some indigenous North, Central, and South American folklore this year (especially if it comes from any tribes in the Amazon or north of the Arctic Circle). Also Aboriginal Australian folklore, that’d be cool too

This year's inktober is so good!! Your art literally gets better every year (⁠T⁠T⁠) Also, I'm just a big fan of Japanese folklore. There's another version of Oiwa's tale where even Oume and her grandfather were into the plan. Instead of pushing Oiwa off a cliff when the poison wasn't enough to kill her, Iemon sent a friend to assault and kill her, thus giving him enough reason to leave her. The friend couldn't do it and instead shows Oiwa her disfigurement using a mirror (she didn't know what was happening to her face as they were so poor, they couldn't afford a mirror). Taken by anger and anguish, Oiwa cuts her neck with a katana that the man was carrying, cursing Iemon until her dying breath. So that no one else would know of the horrible tale, Iemon kills his friend. He then nails his corpse along with Oiwa's to wooden boards to float along the river. The wedding part is also the same although in addition to Oume's death, Iemon also kills her grandfather. Driven mad by Oiwa's appearances, he flees to the mountains but is still haunted by Oiwa's vengeful ghost. Fortunately by the end of the story, Oiwa's brother finds out and proceeds to kill Iemon. I think Oiwa also played a part in making sure her brother kills Iemon. That's all! Just an extra bit of information ^^

extra info or not so fun fact, Cathryn Howard wanted her execution to look perfect so she actually practiced putting her head on the the thing so she could look beautiful and perfect while dying, but unlike Ann Boleyn they didn't hire a professional and so he cut her on her back (I think, anywhere but her neck) and so all that work she did to try and make herself look beautiful while dying was for nothing cause the executer missed her neck.

I'm so happy you made a drawing of Yuki-Onna. She's one of my favourites in Japanese mythology. I hope we get to see more of your art 🎨 💖

13:15 I can hear bailey sarian like ✨AqUaTeFAnAaaa✨

I am a bit late to the party lol, but did you know that the image of Melusine was the inspiration for the Starbucks logo. Next time anyone of you get your Starbuck's cup of Joe, look closely at your cup, and you will see Melusine's two split tails in the upper corners of your cup. And amazing artwork BTW absolutely gorgeous work.

JESSICA SLAYED AGAIN

I just love these kind of art compilations and they just sound so fun and the drawings just look soo good and im jealous skilled people/ artists cuz y’all can draw so well, y’all can paint so well, and y’all can also storytell so good that i wish i was one of y’all artists

I remember reading about the borley rectory when I was a kid, it was one of my favourite stories along with this one story of a French noblewoman who was beheaded during the French Revolution. I adore your stories and art, keep it up queen 🔥🔥

Ok but like the story’s are perfect and the art is perfect why is everything so god damn perfect ❤❤

Why does the art slay with those lashes

im in love with this series, ty for this masterpiece!!!

I love the different mythologys!

I missed your art!! 🥹

I literally love your art! I always listen to it while drawing especially when I draw horror art! Heck I am Even listening to it now while drawing!

10:21 STARBUCKS

I look forward to your inktober stories every year!

You have no idea how much I loved your drawings! In fact I started drawing longer eyelashes because of you and Started drawing more in pen! You my queen 👑 are an inspiration ! ❤️💕

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU I REMEMBER THESE VIDS

incredible year of Inktober. Congratulations

The Yuki-Onna just sounds very sad

Btw I believe that Oiwa was pregnant and when her ex husband gave her the medicine he claimed it was pregnancy medicine to help her, since she trusted him she drank it but it turns out it was poison.

When I grow up I wanna make art like this SO BEAUTIFUL

I love these compilations there a little scary but very good

This drawings are gorgeous and you voice is so pretty 😳 You did amazing with Inktober!!!

Your art is absolutely stunning, and you should totally write and illustrate a graphic novel.

Maybe for 2023 Inktober you could run through real people with spooky connotations? Similar to the witches you've done before, and the others, but there are plenty more... (this request mostly comes from my wishes to see people like Mary Shelley and the Delphi Priestess with incredible portraits) just a suggestion!

The eyelashes on the fleek

hii! new fan, just so you know i absolutely LOVE your art, its just that "Catherine Howard" is not spelled with a C but rather with a K (Katherine Howard)

Yessss! I love watching these !

You are so amazing,and good at story telling 😊❤😊❤

ok imagine how satisfying it would be to remove that dry paint from the pallatte

the tudor women are having fun being ghosts 💀 (bloody mary, aragon, boleyn, howard, etc)

im danish, and i loved the drawing you did on the valravn!

I all was love your art so much

I loved all the years before this and this year so much! How do you get the ink to be lighter and what brushes do you use?

I love your art

Omg the Norse mythology one reminded me of my fourth grade play about the death of baldur

I could definitely see Jessica listing to grim in mild on podcasts

Now you're taking. Now I'm a big fan of monsters and cryptic and ghosts and soul.

I'm really scared of spiders so the first video scared me but love the vids❤️❤️

Since it's 2023 could you do Urban Legends for this year's Halloween?

This is so cool nice job

I always love these cause I listened to them well Doing research on ghost And yokai's It helps me find a lot of them

When u have waited all year for this video: finally... my time has come

Memento Mori also means the everlasting knowledge of your demise or something like that and i think it is a really cool thing the people made up. Does that make me crazy?

nah but how she just let that spider crawl in the start i could never shes so brave cause if i saw that thing i would be moving into a different country

How long does it take to clean the pallet?

Kelly Brought me here

15:05 UMM IM NOT WATCHING THIS AS IT SNOWS RIGHT???

I Love this❤

will you be doing one for 2023?

i am NOT the only one who went to their ASoUE books when she got to the last one

LASHES FOR DAYSSSSSSSSSSS

The yuki ona also hands you her baby and asks you to carry it. But it keeps getting heavier and heavier if you drop it you will die a painful cold death if you do carry it to where she requests you will wake up in your Home and good fortune

Its funny cus a day before i watched this I had seen Six the musical

You should do an ink tober about greek mythology

if i'm not wrong,Yuki-Onna had a child with a man,she told him that he could never tell her child who it mother is and the man promised her.But then one day he acidently tell the child about Yuki-Onna.That night she came back and that was the last time she ever came back to visit he husband and child,i don't really know what happened after but i don't think she ehem ehem her husband and child.

Wait I swear I’ve seen something similar to the Jersey Devil in one of my dreams-

So cool 💛

My favorite folklore or legend was Kate Blood 17:47

You are my idol ❤❤❤

idk if youve done this but can u do sallie from the sallie house pls and maybe could you make a drawing book with these ppl in it so we can color it in bc i cant draw

I wish my art was as beautiful as yours

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I support you

hi jess! can you do gryla of the mountains

Me patiently waiting for inktober 2023 edit-nvm I found it 🤓

I know it's a tiny detail but it still bugs me: in french, "voisin" is the male form of the word (it means "neighbour" btw) , but the person is a woman so it technically should be "voisine", or was it on purpose or smth ^^`

The fact that me and Catherine (6:56) have the same last name

YEEEEES

The Norns are also known as the fates

Sheeeshhh,, Those eyelashes are LONG~

Thank you for doing Bengali story

I read a book following the story of the Jersey Devil

🤤so cool

Can you. Please do Robert the doll and the ghost of key west light house

Do teke teke or nure onna from Japanese folklore

the norms are like the people from heracules who worked with hades

0:04 😟

I keep forgetting you using ink and not pens or markers..
