Demons HATE him!! Learn how this man became a bridge owner **OVERNIGHT!!!**

[simkaye]

Polished up my favourite frame from the little goatman storyboard I did last year ✨ btw I share my step-by-step process for art like this on patreon!

*looking at those tags, pulling my glasses off* Is Gem Watch Out canon to Hermit Hollow? What does Impulse do in this au? I'm terrible sorry My brain is consumed with uni now, and I can remember if you said something about Impulse already

Oh mood mood, don’t worry I don’t think I’ve said much on Impulse just yet lol

So he’s Pearl and Gem’s roommate. What he does in Hermit’s Hollow is…actually kinda unknown. He’s a nice fella, but no one actually knows much about him save for Pearl and Gem. No one even knows where he comes from. He just sorta showed up in town one day. If you ask about it, he’ll joke (or you think it’s a joke) that he lived under a bridge until some guy kicked him out. According to him, Gem found him shortly after, wandering aimlessly in the woods, and offered to let him stay at her place.

The trio usually go out hiking/camping together every weekend or so, with Impulse being their unofficial watchdog.

My first fan art poster and tribute made for Unsolved. Originally from 2019, this poster was featured In the Q+A Episode of Bella in the Wych Elm. The drawing is filled with easter eggs and references to the Buzzfeed Unsolved series. 

I've since made a fan poster for Ghost-files, which I personally think was an improved poster. Both in regards to composition and the way Shane and Ryan are drawn. It was a great honor to hear those two icons talk about my drawing, which you can see in the link down below.

I keep imagining Shane and Ryan at their bridge streaming Midnights by Taylor Swift and I have never felt more bliss.

CRYPTID-TOBER

October 10th, 2023

MARYLAND'S GOATMAN

-

People had been scared of him for ages.

Decades.

He was the one you whispered about while taking the long route, trying to avoid the bridge.

He was the one you thought about when another dog went missing.

He was the one kids talked about while doing shitty horror challenges to see who was going to chicken out.

He was Goatman.

And yet, he was now angrily looking at a scared human accompanied by an high ranked demon, and he felt oh, so humiliated and terrified himself.

«Goatman! I'm dancing on your bridge, it's MY bridge now!» the Demon yelled, doing a stupid dance to make the human laugh. «If you want me off, you'll have to KILL me!» the Demon humored Goatman, knowing full well he's too strong.

Goatman had been scaring people for ages, only for a damn ghost hunter to own his bridge thanks to the tall Demon co-hosting his show.

-

After many failed Inktobers, I decided to stop trying to follow prompt lists that always end up boring me, so I'm challenging myself to draw a cryptid per day for all the month of October!

No lists, no prompts, just me drawing random creatures I like!

How fun is that?

[baeshijima]

ryan: you do what you gotta do. and i'll do what i gotta do.

shane: i'm just gonna be as crude as possible here.

also shane: fuck you, Goatman!

ryan: holy shit, dude!

shane: is that good?

Solomon: And is anyone here with me right now?

IK: I am :)

Solomon (secretly smiling fondly): ...yes, I know that.

aw :,)

Goatman's Bridge Goodreads Review

I recently read & reviewed a book about the infamous Goatman's Bridge in Denton, Texas.

It's known for it's occult history, murders that have occurred there, sightings of Bigfoot, paranormal activity/encounters with the demonic Satyr Goatman, entity/being or elemental (it's protective of the land & forest surrounding the bridge) unexplained suicides (in my opinion I think that spirits, demons, elementals, Native American spirits (they are protective of their land) are influencing people, for some people they will act on their impulse/compulsion to commit suicide/murder & engage in occult activity)

Spirits, demons, entities, beings, elementals can influence people, they can be potentially spiritually harmful, people should be careful to not piss off any spirit, entity, being, elemental, since some of the spirits at Goatman's Bridge are evil spirits, that can physically harm you if you disrespect them, mock them, or piss them off.

Demons and elementals are not human, I believe there are ancient spirits of the land, associated with Native American tribes at Goatman's Bridge.

Your welcome to read my review if, your interested in the Goatman's Bridge, you know about the infamous legends of Goatman's Bridge or your curious about Goatman's Bridge. You won't be disappointed.

The Demonic Goatman's Bridge

[arebirthingofsorts]

the entirety of buzzfeed unsolved but the stories are in chronological order: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGGIwil6tMX95BMdYvMY8Co5Y2J8yxpe-

supernatural was very hard to do so under the cut i've added my reasons for some difficult episodes to list! if anyone has qualms with it or if you notice any mistakes in the playlist please let me know!

the london tombs, la llorona, and the voodoo episodes were difficult due to no real timeframe being known for when they began so i based the london tombs off of ryan saying the bridge has been around since ancient rome which is why it's one of the first videos in the playlist. la llorona required me to do my own research which led me to believe the story came about in the 1500s? possibly predating that but the first written versions were apparently from the 1500s. for the voodoo new orleans episode i did some research and based it on when it could have been brought to the area.

for bigfoot, mothman, and the men in black, i listed those based on the first encounters/evidence presented

many of the locations, i listed based on when they closed their operations or the owners passed before becoming noted haunted locations. (winchester house, sorrel-weed, villa montezuma, whaley house, old city jail, pythian castle, vulture mine, waverly hills, bellaire house, eastern state, rolling hills)

other haunted ones are currently still operating so i listed those based on when they first opened or got into the hands of the current owners (viaduct tavern, st. augustine, tombstone, goatman's bridge, the viper room, bobby mackey's, moon river)

dauphine orleans hotel was listed as the date ryan said a license to may bailey was given for the bordello. im very unsure about this one so if anyone has suggestions on how to list this one, please reach out EDIT: decided on 1775 because ryan mentioned that year as the site the hotel is on and i felt more sure about it that choice

farnsworth was listed as the year of the battle of gettysburg due to the house being named after a soldier who died in that battle + notable events happening and around the house

the bermuda triangle was tricky so i listed that as the date the term "bermuda triangle" was first coined EDIT: it's been moved to close to the top of the playlist due to the first alleged reporting of weird bermuda shit being by christopher columbus in 1492. this made more sense to me

colchester and morris-jumel are museums now so those were dated as when they were officially museums

the uss yorktown and the queen mary are listed as when they docked for good.

the alien abductions episode is in the 70s area of the playlist because 2/3 of the stories happened in the 70s.

the date the island of the dolls began is where i based "3 horrifying cases of ghosts and demons" since there are separate episodes for the winchester mansion and the sallie house

i based all the haunted locations on those things because i figured that the ghosties would appear after the notable deaths and wild events instead of listing all of them as when they first opened.

i hope all of this makes sense. enjoy.

I saw your tags, you have challenged me!

Scary Show AU (cw for cannibalism and murder)

Ghost is a very well-known yet still semi-anonymous Voice Actor for spooky shit. There's a huge following for him because, regardless of what role he's playing, he does a phenomenal job. He's only listed in the cast list as "S.R.Ghost"

Typically he plays the role of the creatures in this super popular show called "Cryptid Season" which follows a gang of college kids desperate for extra credit in their Biology class so they hunt cryptids as evidence/to study for their papers. He does the voice over and some of the motion capture (he's a big dude) for the monsters and such, his most famous one being "Goatman" (from the demonic Goatman's bridge in I think Texas?)

Meanwhile Soap is this animator who's starting to become really popular, and he announces a new show in the work: "Consume", where he voices one of the two lead roles. It's presented as a show about a normal, if not very lonely man, being tormented by a demonic presence in his home.

Plot twist: dude's actually a cannibalistic serial killer and ends up quickly befriending the demon. The demon helps make the man harder to track by police forces in exchange for the bones and souls of his victims.

Cast:

Soap as the killer

Ghost as the demonic entity

Gaz as a detective who's new to the case but also best friends with Soap's character

Price voices the seasoned detective who's been working this case "too damn long"

Ghost and Soap ABSOLUTELY fall in love while recording scenes together. The banter, the flirting, the sexy scenario of cutting up a corpse together; it's too much not to fall in love irl

(actually such a big brain idea but I don't know how you'd write it tbh lmao. Maybe the show itself, where the boys keep their names? Idk the original idea turned into something much greater)

took a minute to figure something out i'm ngl but i did. something (in any case i would love to see your proper takes(s) if you'd be up to it, seeing as it's your idea!! i feel like i couldn’t do it justice)

-

Just like any other actor, Ghost had to audition for the role.

His agent books it for him without consultation, knowing the project would be right up his alley—horror, monsters, no face required—and Ghost makes no argument in sending in his tape. He recognizes this process and takes no issue with it, and once out of his hands, he waits patiently for a congratulatory offer or a gentle rejection.

Just like any other movie, or show, or what have you. Consume is no different.

Supposedly. At first.

John "Soap" MacTavish is... many things. He's charming, according to most. Talented. A joy to be around. A man who wears more than several hats of a project, which certainly tells of someone trying to worm their way into the commercial industry.

He has the spirit and creativity, Ghost will allow him that. But he also doesn't know when to stop talking as soon as the important work is done.

Is Soap professional? Sure. Does Soap make sure all jobs are done with efficiency and done well? Yes, he does. Does it make him any less of a nuisance to Ghost? Absolutely not.

But Ghost would be damned if the project doesn’t find its way into his soft spots, despite its nature. He’d be damned if he doesn’t fall in love with Soap’s animations and the hard work and craft he puts into them.

Then he blinks, and the pilot is premiering. It does well (again, considering its content), and Consume is properly green-lit.

Which is when Soap proposes the idea of recording their lines in the same room. Together. Facing one another. Because banter, and chemistry, and whatever other reasons he insists upon.

Personally, Ghost wants to decline. He’s always felt somewhat awkward when recording as such with anyone, but professionally? He couldn’t really say no, could he?

And it is awkward, at first. There’s more takes than usual, and Ghost can sense Soap’s frustration, though the man never expresses it. He just plasters on a tight smile, calls for a break, and pulls Ghost aside.

Surely, surely this is where Ghost gets fired. This is where Ghost is told he’s going to be replaced, where he’s told to say goodbye to Gaz and Price and wish them luck, and move onto his next gig. This is where—

“Have I done something wrong?”

Soap’s face is so earnest. So painfully sincere.

Ghost clenches his jaw. Shakes his head.

“No, I—“ He sighs. “Just have to get used to the… face-to-face. Let’s—I’ll try again.”

Soap smiles wider, now, as he nods, something kind and warm and brilliant.

The second try goes much smoother. Ghost takes a deep breath and eases himself into scripted dialogue, into witty banter and subtle flirts like it’s any other project.

They continue to record lines as such, just the two of them, each episode at a time. At some point, Ghost worries, the line between script and show and reality gets blurred. At some point, he fears, that flirting becomes genuine.

And what would he know—the reviews only get better as that line becomes less and less clear. Natural, real-feeling dialogue, critics say. The relationship is authentic, claim viewers.

The love is actually heartfelt.

And fuck, if that doesn’t make Ghost realize a few things about himself.

About Soap.

Consume is no different, his ass. He might have to have a stern talk with his agent in the near future.

(Or not.)

[jamisonwritestf2trash]

Sort of Halloween ask go

What sort of mythical creature eg satyrs, selkies, would the mercs be?

What Mythical Creatures Would The TF2 Mercs Be?

Hell yeah! That's such a cool idea 😭 Some of these might not be very well known because I wanted to pull some from specific countries for the mercs that don't come from America:)

Also, apologies if I mess up any folklore!

————————————————————

Demo would be a redcap, I don't know, guys. I can just picture this man hiding out in ruined castles, creating chaos and staining his little cap red with the blood of his victims because he's a silly like that. Now, Redcaps normally can't be reasoned with, but if you happen to be wandering through Scotland, keep a bottle of something good on you and you might just figure out a way to make friends with him.

————————————————————

Engie would be Mothman, I mean, I already think mothman is a very wholesome protector of sorts, rather than the omen of bad luck everyone thinks he is. Mothman doesn't cause bad things to happen. He warns people that something bad will happen, and I think Engie would totally do that! Engie also just radiates moth energy to me for some reason, like I think he really likes bright lights.

————————————————————

Heavy would be the leshy. I think he'd be such a good character to be assinged to rule over the forest. The leshy is seen as a malevolent being, but is actually rather kind depending on the humans that it encounters, the leshy protects children more or less abandoned by their families, bringing them to a part of an ethereal forest, so I honestly think it's a really good fit for him!

————————————————————

Medic would be an Alp. So I feel like Medic already cause a people nightmares, so being a German version of a sleep paralysis demon is very fitting for him. Also, with manipulating dreams and creating nightmares being an Alps main power, I can't help but think of Medic while researching the folklore. Also, also, some people categorize them as demons, and let's be real, anything to do with demons fits with Medic.

————————————————————

Scout would be the Goatman, I think he'd have so much fun haunting one bridge, scaring, or just chilling with local teens who come to visit him, but then scaring the piss out of anyone who's serious, or just hiding away when someone with a camera comes around to prove of his existence. He'd just be one of the best suited (next to Pyro) to be a cryptid.

————————————————————

Sniper would be a Yara-ma-yha-who, a frog like vampire creature, that, and I quote, "waits for an unsuspecting traveler to rest under the tree. The creature then drops down and uses its suckers to drain the victim's blood. After that, it swallows the person, drinks some water, and then takes a nap. When the Yara-ma-yha-who awakens, it regurgitates the victim, leaving them shorter than before." I have no other explanation for why this fits Sniper than I think it's funny as hell and weirdly in character.

————————————————————

Spy would be the Dames Blanches, uh fem Spy mention!? Kidding, half kidding? Anyways! The Dames Blanches tend to lurk in narrow places, like ravines, forests, and bridges. While not being a benevolent spirit, if you come across one, it might require you to dance with them or help them. I think Spy would definitely find himself lurking on a moonlit bridge, requiring a late night dance for you to pass

————————————————————

Soldier would be the Jersey Devil purely because from what I know about them, they cause absolute chaos, and Soldier is insanely good at that. Also, the Jersey Devil is incredibly good at scaring humans and is known for its piercing scream, I wonder if we know anyone like that. No, but being real, he'd be a great fit for the Jersey Devil, but would probably become the first proven cryptid, to be honest, he'd just be to willing to get near people.

————————————————————

Pyro would be a Fresno Nightcrawler, like??? Have you seen them?? Especially fan art of them? Pyro could be twins with them, from the gaunt stare to the vaugly shaped body, I think Pyro might just actually be a Fresno nighcrawler that wiggled its way into a gas mask and suit one night. It probably wouldn't be the first time a cryptid tried to join the other mercs.

————————————————————

OUGH, THIS WAS SO FUN 😭 another short and sweet one! I love mythology and folklore, so getting to look into it super fun! Did you guys know that I wanted to study cryptozoolgy before I realized that ot would tank my entire science career 😮‍💨 oh well, at least i can always find a platform to talk about them on tumblr! I really hope you like this Anon! 💖

League of Villains as Ghost Hunters

Shigaraki: Hey there demons, it’s me. Ya boi.

Toga: We’re here for the cult stuff? We saw the ad on Craigslist.

Dabi: Goatman, I’m dancing on your bridge! It’s my bridge now!

Compress: They took it to court? What did they do? Sue the demons?

Spinner: *holding squirt gun full of holy water with shaking hands* Several bad choices have led me to this moment.

Twice: Uh, hello spirits. We’re here with good vibes.

[indigoaster]

Must say, watching Sam and Colby's video investigating Goatman's Bridge and then watching Ryan and Shane's video doing the same immediately after really adds to the idea that Shane is actually a demon and keeps scaring the other supernatural things away lol /lh
