If you go out exploring, see if you can spot any tree monsters lurking about. While some can be frightening, most are very friendly and would be more than happy to have some company.

10 years ago, a boy knocked on a woman’s door, asking for her to believe in him and magic (well he actually asked for orange juice) but what we didn’t know, it’s a knock for us to join to an amazing adventure, HAPPY DECADE ONCE UPON A TIME ❤️
#wipwednesday This little icicle dragon will be finished up tomorrow and available in this weekend’s adoption!
I’ve been super busy with #commissions for Christmas, so I’ve been a bit quiet. But I’ll be posting some winter dragons and Christmas critters the rest of the week leading up to my adoption event on my Facebook page!
Getting into the Halloween spirit! By chance I discovered the London Horror Festival yesterday and immediately booked tickets to see two performances today! the Maydays were ABSOLUTELY incredible - absolutely amazing, creepy, funny, genius improv (inspired by The Brothers Grimm, Edgar Allan Poe and Tim Burton - could there be anything more me?) and the night was rounded off with some hilariously spooky Italian Horror Stories! ♀️#lhf2019 #londonhorrorfestival #horror #london #halloween #spooky #themaydays #italianhorror #improv #fairytales #timburton #edgarallanpoe #frankenstein #dracula #pleasancetheatre #happilyneverafter (at Pleasance Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3k3aKuplA_/?igshid=i39lw0i2gnuy
“Happy birthday, child. Careful not to shoot any grundwirgen.”
Ever since she was a small girl, she has learned to be careful on the hunt, to recognize the signs that separate regular animals from human-cursed grundwirgen. To harm a grundwirgen is a crime punishable by death by the King’s decree – a fatal mistake that her Auntie Rosa and mother have carefully prepared her to avoid.
On her fifteenth birthday, when her mother is arrested and made to stand trial for grundwirgen murder, everything she thought she knew about her family and her past comes crashing down.
Auntie Rosa has always warned her about monsters. Now, she must find and confront them to save her mother, no matter the cost.

During the late 60’s and early 70’s, photographerArthur Tressasked children to describe their nightmares and fantasies. Then he recreated them into these particularly unnerving staged images.
The resulting series, first displayed in a show called “Daymares” is a fantastic and haunting look at the inner mind of the child. Dreams like falling, monsters, and being buried alive are played out in a safe, daytime world – often by the very child who imagined it.
Hello, good afternoon, I found a copy of the 1910 folklore compendium “Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods: With a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts,“ which is mostly poking fun at forestry and forester culture, together with a 1957 article I saved about “The Society of Displaced Tommyknockers” (a lighthearted take, about mine closures putting the gremlins out of work), plus the whole subgenre of railroad folk songs (John Henry and Casey Jones being two of its most famous saints) and even WWII’s “Kilroy was Here” where no one actually knows who Kilroy is or was
………………………so I typed up this whole thing thinking “is this anything or is Severancestill rotting my brain???” and then did an extra 15 minutes of searching and found out that “Occupational Folklife” is a well-recognized category of study, it’s got archives in the Smithsonian going back to at least 1975. And while most of it is about studying an occupational culture in an anthropological or ethnographical sense, it’s still really interesting.
And it does sort of bridge the gap between the hodag and that one tumblr post about how even “rational scientists” have little shrines and good luck charms to keep the machines happy.
