#devil's garden

If y'all aren't aware, @the-barn-rat and I are directors of a tiny non-profit called Rising Action Mustang Society (www.risingactionmustangs.com). We have had over 55 mustangs come through our property on their way to their lifelong homes across New England!

We are asking for help to support one of our horses in a scary health crisis. Our boy King, a 10 year old Devil's Garden mustang, is currently fighting Potomac Horse Fever. He is very ill and has severe colitis, which needs time and supportive care to beat.

We have been providing around the clock care for this gentle giant, and through it all, King has been patient and brave. He is a magnificent, kind, and goofy horse who deserves a chance to heal and find his forever home, where he can represent the best that mustangs have offer.

We want to do everything we can to give King a fighting chance, but vet bills run up FAST. Almost all of our work is done out of our own pockets, so ANY amount helps us help King. Donations are also tax deductible!

Donating, sharing, spreading the word -- it all makes a difference. Thank you and keep your fingers crossed for our big guy!

Fake Armand enjoyers trying to excuse what he did when real gremlin Armand lovers know one of the best parts about Armand is that he's a fucked up scheming devil beneath his "woe is me" doe eyes, who enjoys fine art in all forms as much as he finds deep delight in stalking someone nearly to madess while threatening to murder them if they bore him, falling in love in the midst of psychological torture once he discovers the most fascinating side of his prey, a nuclear warhead who has always wanted to be loved with his more dark and ugly sides included and not only for his beautiful Botticelli's angel exterior. The real Armand is finally coming out after decades of hiding behind the mask he thought he had to construct around himself.

Mothie, Leed, Bloop, and Biggie going into town!

This is a concept for a cryptid children's book/comic I'm working on!

[anachronic-cobra]

How many death threats do you think I'd get if I wrote a queer book where the Devil falls in love with Adam from the Garden of Eden when something causes him to Fall from Heaven? And they both have to unlearn their religious trauma? And I retcon the existence of god because I think that's a more interesting take on the concepts of heaven and hell?

RIP Wall Arch

[uboacore]

Wirt is a forest, all branches and leaves and quiet stillness.

Every layer of bark is a wall, behind which lies only a soulless husk. No one can hide themselves for so long without losing themself in the process. To call it a nightmare would be wrong. A nightmare ends with the dawn of day.

Wirt reaches out to us. His eyes are burning nearly as bright as his soul. A raging fire, where only candle flame could ever be accepted. It does not dim.

We squint against the light and recoil. It wants something from us, to be known, to be loved.

The devil is lonely. We kicked out the devil and it must miss us. It keeps begging to be let back, for us to let it in.

And Wirt did.

Every secret belongs to it. Leaves to whisper them, and shadowed night to hide them.

But we do not listen.

We close our eyes and block our ears.

We choose to ignore.

And the devil only ever gets one moment.

For revenge, for freedom, for "please know me."

But there is nothing to fear when there is two against the devil.

Beatrice brings the feathers. Her radio trills and shifts and pulls against her.

Greg brings the music. His radio hums and whistles and calls out.

Our radios scream and crash against him and the devil is destroyed.

It feels fitting for me to make a crossover with We Know The Devil and Beast Wirt. I’m pretty sure that me cosplaying him and talking about him is the reason I was recommended WKTD.

So here’s some Beast Wirt fanart, in the style of a WKTD scene. And here’s something I wrote to fit the narration of these scenes in the game.

(I have reasoning and explanations for a lot of it, so feel free to ask! I’ve also got ideas about how the rest of this crossover would play out)

Anyway.

Beast Wirt fans please go play We Know The Devil for spooky forest times and people becoming cryptid beings.

And We Know The Devil fans please go watch Over The Garden Wall since it’s a perfect Halloween show, and then you can enjoy the Beast Wirt AU for it’s similarities to the WKTD endings.

armand saying something like this to daniel in 1985 before digging through his mind and redacting himself from the last 12 years so daniel can leave and live out his full human life... yeah

Plant of the Day

Thursday 5 September 2024

In the crushed, compacted stone on the edge of a car park Pilosella aurantiaca (fox and cubs, Flora's paintbrush, golden mouse ear, orange-flowered hawkweed, red daisy, devil's paintbrush) was thriving. This hairy herbaceous perennial spreads by stolons to form clumps of leaves and has widely naturalised in Britain. The flowers are popular with bees for nectar and pollen.
