#all for silas

[victusinveritas]

Gents from left to right:

Carrington Tibburley, 46. Carrington owns a railroad, but also clearly has a side business laying pipe. Mustache rides will cost you a ticket, but they'll take you all the way to Grand Central Station. Also the one of two contestants who thought to wear socks, so... you're welcome.

The Colonel, 28. Don't let his mustacheless visage fool you. The Colonel has killed thirty seven men in the Philippines, and that was before America was even at war with Spain. Hobbies include bridge, macrame, and filibustering.

Karl Albrecht Folst, Ritter von Schmenk, 32 or possibly 437. Want a castle on the Rhine but you're afraid to invest in a decaying ruin? Then Karl is the man for you; he comes with his very own ancestral estate and a dark curse that will leave you wandering the moors, hair streaked grey as you shriek about the little boy with gold eyes who never left the tower.

Dr. Gordon Saverstock, 31. He's got a mustache longer than either the Kaiser or the Tsar. Trained at the Imperial Viennese Medical College with dual specialty in hacksaws and spirit rapping, he is wanted in Whitechapel for questioning.

Charles J. Van Elston III, of the Long Island Van Elstons, 32. A Yale man, could you want anything more? To ensure victory in the Harvard-Yale Regatta in , Charles had his skull replaced with Geronimo's. Remarkably, Geronimo lived for another three years. Trapped in a state of living death due to his side of the operation not going as planned, Charles is still the clear favorite in today's contest.

Theodore Francis Sanderwank, 25. Personally responsible for the Great Molasses Flood. Make of that what you will.

I actually designed costumes for all of the boys but due to time restraints couldn't make an illustration with all of them but worry not! Silas has all the treats you could possibly want

i'm not seeing any posts about it here yet, but they solved the silas birchtree riddle on reddit and there's some pretty juicy lore! first, entering "paranoid" backwards nets this conspiracy board:

then, from the black letters in the corners of some of the pages people pieced together the code "connect the dots", backwards again, gets a whopping 12 page chapter about the ciphertology cult! it's...something.

so in summary, bill puppeted a guy's corpse, became a cult leader, seemingly married over a hundred people, mass-possessed his followers, tried to get them to build his portal. his lone dissenter was a spinster who made anti-bill chick tracts and started a fire. a waco-style shootout ensued, killing silas' already-rotting corpse a second time in a disturbingly detailed manner. at some point he made some of his followers drink the kool-aid too.

entering the lady's name, emmaline butternubbins, into the computer finally gets you the reward for solving all the riddles: hd wallpapers of various graphics from the book of bill. but frankly this is more interesting and fucked up to me.

"Have you ever heard of Orchard Lake, Kansas? Chances are you haven't. It was erased from every map, book, and historical record, and the US Government's official position on it is "stop calling us or we'll send a drone to your house." (I learned this the hard way.) But if you drive to the exact latitude and longitude of you'll see bullet casings, faded billboards, and bow ties strewn across the desert sands.

That's because Orchard Lake had another name before it was wiped off the record: BillVille.

The First Cult In History That Was Right

FIG A: A tumbillweced

As a historian of esoteric religions, I thought I'd discovered the strangest sects America had yct to offer (see "Chapter 3: Kevin's Gate") but that all changed when I found the following items tucked away in an old trunk in an estate sale on the out- skirts of Bootstrap, Missouri."]

It's been said before but I'll say it again — ever be so deeply, permanently emotionally destroyed by killing your best friend in the name of the newfound necromancer/cavalier relationship that you build a house that treats cavaliers as innately disposable, breeds them for a single purpose, genetically matches them to babies before they are born, names them for sacrificial animals, specifically so none of the necromancers who follow behind you will experience the heartbreak of losing the person they love most in the world, so horribly that they can't stand to hear their name spoken aloud for the next ten thousand years, only for the scion of that house, ten thousand years later, to be so revolted by the concept of killing his cavalier for Lyctorhood, so disgusted by your crime, that he claims G-d's directly expressed will is heretical and fundamentally morally opposed to the principles of the religion you helped to found?

And then, when that person does do what you explicitly built his house to be able to do and uses his cavalier as a tool rather than a person — even if he does it because he believes his cavalier capable of surviving anything, the polar opposite of what you tried to teach his house to believe — he experiences his cavalier's death as such an abrupt and horrifying loss that after he himself is killed he wanders the afterlife in grief, impotently taking revenge on a woman who should have been burned up for Lyctorhood by the person who loved and needed her most, but was spared, saying may all the blood of your blood suffer even a fraction of what I have suffered? The suffering you tried so incredibly hard to insulate him from? He of the church you built to bury the memory of a nun?

I haven't seen anybody post the full Riddle Chain yet (including Silas Birchtree) so here you go :)

I didn't find any of these codes myself by the way! I'm not sure who to credit for the rest of them, but I did get the Silas Birchtree code from @dismissivedestroyer (sorry for tagging you ^_^" if you don't want to be tagged let me know and i can edit the post). You can also get the answer using the code "STOD EHT TCENNOC"

Saila's nipple is the art that will appear when you search yandere x reader. That's honestly a major accomplishment 👏🏾.

The way I freaked out when I saw my art on the tags like that😭😭

They were on my recommended tags as well and I was like “no way is that me???”

Based on the Never Have I Ever asks, Corona, you didn't invite Judith to this party???

cameo rundown: judith doesnt like parties. marta however, does a good kegstand when persuaded. silas was not invited. butter/wilson has retreated to take a nap. you, the readers, have officially met pash - but noone particularly wants to hang out with her, and she is not easy to find again. hope you all enjoyed these boats crossing in the night
