I've seen some of this same animator on YouTube! I know they're not into OTGW anymore, but I still think their animations are really cool (and I like finding another person who makes Woodsman related content lol)

Hiii :)))

I know it's a meme redraw, but I can't even with that face

I’ve been so damn busy how will I thrive in these conditions.

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

Yes indeed, and it is wonderful!

Have you guys seen the new OTGW special?

Various sketches that i have done . Happy 10th anniversary over the garden wall

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

Ten years ago, now! Ten years. And I only discovered it a year and a half ago.

Day in Fandom History: November 3…

Two Brothers, named Wirt and Greg, got lost in the woods on their way home where the duo meets with the Woodsman, he warns them about a dangerous creature lurking out of the open named “the Beast”. The first episode of Over the Garden Wall, “The Old Grist Mill”, premiered on this day, 9 Years Ago.

So true

There really is no other show that captures the essence of fall like Over The Garden Wall is there

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

YES

YES

YESSSSSS

"I'd destroy the world to protect you" but it's a parent/child relationship

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

This is SUCH an interesting take on the show

Okay I just wrapped up the annual Over the Garden Wall rewatch and it’s late and I don’t know how well I’ll be able to articulate these thoughts but:

The Beast knows it’s in a story

The Beast knows it’s in a story, and it knows how people react to stories, and that’s horrifying in a series based out of folklore and fairy tales and storytelling tradition. The Beast preys on people by knowing how they’ll react to stories. The Beast acts frustrated that Greg used a honey comb for a “golden comb” and a spiderweb on a stick for a “spool of golden thread,” but it’s baiting a trap - by exploiting that same fairytale logic, Greg is going to die of exposure in the cold while he waits for the sun to “set” in a cup

Because of course Greg will wait to see the sun set into the cup. Of course the Woodsman will keep the lantern lit. That’s how the story should go. The Beast is a parasite sucking blood out of a perfectly arranged Grimm fairy tale about the martyrdom of parenthood.

The only way to properly defeat it is to actively defy the story being set out ahead of you. Over the Garden Wall says, over and over again, that Wirt will sacrifice his life for Greg. “You are responsible for you and your brother’s actions,” the show says. The original pitch bible for the series said that Wirt would sacrifice himself for Greg, that he’d die to take responsibility for Greg-

And then Wirt stops and says “Wait. That’s dumb” and immediately shatters the story that’s been set up for him, and that’s how he defeats the Beast.

LOL

Also, the Four Of Them interacting, I love it

The Woodsman: How did none of you hear what I just said?

Wirt: I’ve been zoned out for the last two and a half hours.

Greg: I got distracted about halfway through.

Beatrice: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

Well, guys. My OTGW playlist is officially and exactly one day long.

This is actually very funny to me.

They are so sweet and I'm glad someone else agrees, they deserve the best

I hear that today is the Father’s day in some countries, so have my fave father & daughter from the far woods 💕

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

did I try

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

Ridiculous. Not possible.

Baffling to me that somebody could just “move on” from OTGW.
