I have this headcanon for the longest time that the looks of common demons are based on their region

So I made a Greenman OC based on the endemic flowers at my place, please look at my kreecher 🥺

“Our ancestors said to their mother Earth: 'We are yours'. Modern Humanity said to Nature, 'You are mine'. The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe: 'We are one'.”

― Sharon Brubaker, The Blossoming

GREENMAN

[dsatyr]

A little something I made. Primitive and simple, as desired, but not quite the glaze appearance I was hoping for. I don't hate it, though.

VeronaHills, Round Seven: Greenman

Daisy enjoyed the company of a fellow fae in Woody. She found extra enjoyment in the fact that he was the same age.

The existence of baby brother Basil was exciting and all but Daisy wanted - needed to fill her own cup. After all, a teenage era begat independence. So she spent an afternoon in the garden with Woody in what dad would call a date (but dad didn't need to know that).

"I like your eyes." Daisy threw the words out there as she threw the ball for Woody to catch. He briefly fumbled but managed to recover, lest he collect another letter in the word DONKEY.

"Thanks. I get the feeling they freak people out. DONK!"

Daisy had dropped the catch, earning the letter K. "Damn. So do you know why they look like that?"

The ball flew into Woody's palms with a satisfying smack. He laughed, and snorted a little. "Apparently dad ate a lot of apples when he moved to the forest. Like, SO many. So me and my sister got apple seed eyes when he grew us - no, seriously!" Daisy had joined him in the laughing and snorting.

Faerie biology was funny like that. That became even more apparent as baby Basil grew. Despite being born with the resemblance of a human - nary a leaf to be seen - his skin gradually greened, and eventually, his head sprouted a mighty fine daisy.

The Greenman clan held a celebration for their expanded garden. Rose served freshly squeezed juice and observed the chemistry of her niece Jules and family friend Puck. Faerie-human relations seemed to be growing across the village; perfectly healthy tendrils reaching towards each other's light. Rose could only imagine the possibilities for a future filled with magic and love.

Queer books, day 10/30

As an Emily, I am required to promote the works of other Emilys when I get the chance. 

This is a novella, and it is delightful. It has been pressed full of folklore of the Greenman variety, with a few dryads thrown in for good measure. I wouldn't be totally shocked to find out that most of the events are described in a folk song somewhere, because that is what it feels like. This book is about the dangers of knowledge, the problems that can come up when you name something. It's also about the ways that people fall in love with knowledge. 

This isn't a romance, not really, although it does have a few moments like this: 

The way he said it, and the look he gave Tobias with it, was flirting. Flirting! At least Tobias recognised it this time. Funny thing, to be flirted with by a pretty young fellow who wore expensive coats. Made Tobias feel young again, and at the same time very, very old.

Or maybe what I mean is that it's a story with love very deeply at its core but none of the genre conventions of modern romance novels. There's not really a happily ever after here. There's one kiss (but what do you do if your lover is the personification of the woods? hmm). 

Anyway, there's a second book in this series (I believe it is a diptych), and Ms. Tesh also has another book out that is billed as queer space opera, so if this or that sounds like your jam, she may be worth looking into. 10/10, go read it.
