Forest of Daydreams @ghostdreamingofmoss - Tumblr Blog

"Trees had spirits; the wind spoke. If you followed a toad or a raven deep into the heart of the forest, they were sure to lead you to something magical.” -Jennifer McMahon

This blog is an outlet for my urge to run into the forest and never return. I'm 26, happily married, full of feral feelings, and constantly daydreaming.

A greenwitch with goblin tendencies, I crave becoming one with the moss and stones.

(TERFs, Trumpers, and white supremacists fuck off)

I reblog occasional nudity in art, so minors proceed with caution.

Concept: Baba Yaga house walking around on chicken legs, being followed by one of those plastic Fisher-Price play houses on baby chick legs

Excuse my 15min rush art job, but I just HAD to draw this

Still love this concept. Here’s a redraw that was NOT sketched in 15min while waiting in line at the DMV

In the Russian fairytale fantasy film The Last Warrior: Root of Evil (Последний богатырь: Корень зла, 2015) the two cottages have eggs that hatch to reveal their offsprings: little cottages. Do with that information what you want…..

For people who have ever wondered “why in the world would anybody imagine a house on legs” or thought “they must have been drunk when they came up with the idea” let me introduce you to a very typical storehouse used across Scandinavia and into Slavic areas:

This type was used mostly by the Sámi, the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula. They’re mostly nomadic, and would build these storehouses (Áittit) up off the ground so that bears and wolves couldn’t get into them while they were elsewhere.

Other groups in Scandinavia and Russia also used elevated storerooms; the Norwegian word for them is “stabbur.” Norwegian ones are still elevated off the ground but are often not as high (because they lived right next to it year round) and often had walls around the legs so you could store non-food items that animals wouldn’t care about in a weather-proof room.

You get a similar thing on Komodo. Because of the dragons.

I read somewhere, if I remember right, that Baba Yaga’s house was like that because a very old kind of coffin was up on stilts too. But maybe it’s to avoid dragons and other scavengers instead. I guess even Baba wouldn’t want to be raided by a bear either

Male Scifi and Fantasy writers: Look at this !Strong! female character! She can fight and solve puzzles, and ends up with the sidekick not the hero! Isn’t she a great character?

Everyone:No, she’s one-dimensional and still only exists to please the hero’s ego

Male scifi and fantasy writers:You’re never happy! This is how characters are written! Besides, it’s much harder for us to write women because we are men!

Terry Pratchett: *creates a female character who is literally the embodyment of a dog, sets her up to be the love interest of Protagonist Hero Man.* *writes her as clever, emotionally tortured, lonely and powerful* *uses her to explore difficulties of bisexuality and masculine dominated workforces*

Terry Pratchett: *Creates a pair of old witches, one of whom is a virgin and the other who has slept with lots of men.* *makes them best friends, never dismisses one lifestyle of the other, explains lifestyle choices based on characters history and personality, uses this to develop each character as the books progress*

Terry Pratchett: *Writes Sybil Rankin* *makes the powerful rich lady heavy set but beautiful, never plays her by her looks, develops her as she ages, acknowledges the way society views such people and then spits on their attitudes* *does it again with Agnes*

Terry Pratchett: *Writes a book about an entire army secretly being women, creates complex female relationships, introduces same sex relationships completely naturally*

Terry Pratchett: *takes old joke about female dwarves and uses it to explore gender identity without making it seem forced or unnatural, carefully discusses some of the issues and complextities whilst still making funny and witty observasions and maintaining genuine fantasy tropes*

Terry Pratchett: *DOES THIS ALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN, DEVELOPING CHARACTERS AS HIS VIEW OF THE WORLD DEVELOPS AND CAREFULLY APOLOGIZES FOR EARLY MISTAKES*
