the phrase is closely related to the legend of... Mielikki, the Finnish goddess of forest and hunting, often referred to as the "Lady of the Forest."🤣🌴👍

The basic premise is a young woman who is out in the forest with a hunting party when a strange falling star crashed down on them. Thanks to adrenaline-induced magic, she and two others survive. However, a group of denialists blame the woman for the others' deaths and split the village.

Unhappy hunting grounds are a real thing.

Our records at EFC and NFFC are terrible, especially considering how terrible they've often been.

The world of Spirituus is rapidly changing session per session. I feel like my once a month monster hunting game might be spinning off into a separate side campaign soon 😁

Glimpses of that are being seen in the Realm Reporter more and more.
Front page of a newspaper from a the fantasy world of Spirituus. It shows three stories. The lockdown of the Guild of Thorns tower headquarters because of a security breach, blankets being donated enmass by and adventurer, and fiendish monsters are on the rise in the Bestia Forest.

this frickin eye-roll

derek is dumb when it comes to talking to women, but he's extremely competent at what he does

~brom~ is an idiot, and even derek knows it
prince derek and his buddy brom are hunting evil shape-shifting monsters in a beautiful hand-painted forest. to the left and in the background, a dumpy guy in brown leathers is apologizing for being a dingbat. in the foreground on the right side of the picture, prince derek rolls his eyes while expertly adjusting his grip on his bow and not dropping his arrow.

i have to say that i wasn't expecting anything more than a nostalgia trip from rewatching ~the swan princess~, but the hand-painted landscapes are honestly gorgeous

this film bankrupted richard rich's company; like don bluth, he learned you can't beat disney.

but yeah, it's gorgeous.
hand painted scene from ~the swan princess~ that shows rothbart's castle through a stone arch over a waterfall. the scene is set at night, is predominantly blue, and features a gigantic full moon hand painted scene from ~the swan princess~ showing the lake in front of rothbart's castle. it's a dark moonlight green and blue scene, with the full moon rising up behind a tall castle tower a hand painted forest scene from ~the swan princess~. the trees are a gnarled red/brown and the sunlight comes in gold and green. definitely has a 80s fantasy book cover painting vibe. scene from ~the swan princess~ showing derek and brom hunting in the woods. the rays of sunlight are beaming down through the tree branches to make golden glittering puddles. derek is wearing over-the-knee riding boots (which i didn't notice) and is carrying his bow with an arrow sensibly knocked (which i didn't think about).

AITA?

…Find out what happens next when the black sheep of a powerful 14th-century Irish family pursues a forbidden romance with the banshee who’s haunted his estate for generations, even as the black plague closes in.

Screenshot of a reddit post reading: AITA for predicting my aunt will die? The other day I [M20] heard the banshee, meaning someone in my family will die, and obviously it's going to be my aunt. She's pretty sickly and I can't imagine any other option. But when I told my family, they called me a disgrace. Naturally I tracked down the banshee and demanded answers, but she was totally useless and couldn't tell me shit, so I stole her comb. Sweet revenge. But I didn't anticipate that she'd try to get it back... and when I tried to get her out of my bedroom (hello, personal space???) I accidentally touched her and she had this weird seiuzure. Now this creepy, undead (but lowkey hot) chick is insisting that "my touch brings her memories back" and "she craves more". I can't lie, I'm temped (just because I want to find out who'll actually die and prove my family wrong... no other reason). If my dickhead cousin finds out about this I'm totally screwed. AITA? Gothic mood board depicting a skull, an ancient Irish chieftain with a hunting dog, hands reaching through a ghostly gauze, a yearning man kissing the hand of his lover, a thurible spewing incense, hands clasped in prayer with a rosary, a woman in white facing a vast forest, and hands ripping a hole in the center of the owner's chest. Text reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 82,000 words, adult gothic horror"

BETWEEN TWO FIRES x WUTHERING HEIGHTS

🖤 Toxic yearning in the time of bubonic plague

🥀 Lush, gothic atmosphere

Gothic mood board depicting a skull, an ancient Irish chieftain with a hunting dog, hands reaching through a ghostly gauze, a yearning man kissing the hand of his lover, a thurible spewing incense, hands clasped in prayer with a rosary, a woman in white facing a vast forest, and hands ripping a hole in the center of the owner's chest. Text reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 82,000 words, adult gothic horror" The pitch: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s eternally young banshee, he hunts her down to learn who in his family is fated to die. In the struggle, he triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life, and she demands he give her more. They meet by moonlight searching for answers in the banshee’s memories, and Ciarán’s growing attraction sets him on a path of macabre desire. But as the devastating bubonic plague closes in, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his dying family or succumb to the seduction of the death-bringer. I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I’d heard her for years. It was an early summer’s day when we went to the lough. Niamh led us through the forest along the stream, babbling with a lightness that opposed her urgent pace. “This could be our best chance to see the merrow,” she said, her little voice all singsong. “Auntie said the veil is thin. They’ll be near and then we can speak!” “She also said we shouldn’t go this far,” I reproached her. Again about the merrow. She had been speaking of them for days, and insisted that Deaglán and I journey with her to the lough, where they lay beneath the surface. Finbar wasn’t supposed to come, but Aunt Eithne had made us watch him while she harvested yellow flowers on the hillside. He slowed us down, and Niamh’s frustration roiled off her like steam against the cool breeze. Though the land was ripe with life, winter still dragged a claw through the air. As we ventured deeper into the forest, a feeling of unease grew within me. A sound rang in my ears, so faint I could not tell if it was imagined or real. Because for weeks, it had haunted my dreams.

Hunting witches is Inquisitor T. Sterling's specialty. Many hail and revere him for his efficiency and ruthlessness. But soon, he is about to tackle his most difficult hunt yet. A small hamlet called Eden Hollow has reached out to him for aid with their own witch problem. He accepts the job but soon after realises that his target is not what it seems to be. Elias' life is tied to the Elder Grove, and he hides himself away and keeps everyone out with hostile barriers or killing first and asking questions later. When this witch hunter stumbles into his life, he knows he should make quick work of him. But as the forest deteriorates around him and he is desperate to find out the reason why, this hunter may be his only hope. Within Eden Hollow, Avery Miller fights a war within himself that he fears he will lose. To be devout means to turn his back on the man he loves. To embrace a strange, all-consuming power means gambling with the risk of being disgraced. Or executed. As their lives intertwine and tensions rise, secrets that were desperately locked away seep through the cracks, and what they find very well may destroy them.

And some love snow. I spent a month of February in a northern Swedish farmhouse sitting for 4 cats. One was a Norwegian forest cat (similar to Maine Coons) and he was crazy. He LOVED to tromp through the snow and spend his days in the barn, hunting mice. He only came in for belly rubs.

In my case the badger needs help digging a new burrow, but connecting it to another location is always a good choice.
Screenshot of a d10 table in a text document: D10 Forest Creatures 1 - Chipmunks playing tag around a tree. They want fresh nuts. They know a wide tree with enough space to safely rest up high. 2 - A bear looking for berries. She knows and underground pond with cave fish that can be easily caught (somehow not affected by the Misery of Hunger [p. x]). 3 - Old badger needs help digging a burrow. He knows a place where bandits once buried some stolen jewelry (100 sp). 4 - Large woodpecker loudly knocking on trees. She wants a group of wasps removed from her nest. She knows a dead tree perfect for collecting dry firewood. 5 - Snake slithering around. He wants a warm place to rest. He knows about purple crystals (5 sp each, d6 available at a time) eroding from a dirt bank. 6 - Salamander hunting bugs by a puddle. She wants fire to warm up with. She knows of a dead tree with lots of Strangesleep mushrooms. 7 - Fox vomiting up small rodent bones. Would like a less boney meal. He knows a tree with bark that tastes like cinnamon. 8 - Toad croaking so, so loudly. He wants warm hole to sleep in until spring. He knows where to find many shapes and colors of lost buttons. 9 - Racoon washing her hands before eating. She wants a feast of village garbage. She knows a secret stream that tastes like honey. 10 - A lynx stalking softly through snow wants catnip. He knows a small cave with a hot spring, big enough to sleep in warmly near the water.

Jagdschloss Glienicke in Berlin, a former hunting lodge that later became a Baroque-style residence near the Glienicke Bridge on the Havel.
#PalacesAndGardens #GrandEstates #photography
#PhotographersOfBluesky
#EastCoastKin
The photo shows the light-yellow main building and side wings of Jagdschloss Glienicke framed by dense green forest, with the complex directly on the calm water, one of the Havel inlets or ponds around the estate. The architecture features steep slate roofs with ornate dormers and a small tower with a green dome, reflecting the French Baroque and later historicist alterations made for Prussian princes in the 19th century. In the foreground, a curved stone embankment and low weir or lock structure mark the edge of the water, while soft morning light gives the scene a tranquil, secluded character, emphasizing the lodge’s setting in a landscape of water, woods, and gentle hills.
