"And you rip my ribcage open and devour what's truly yours"
Here we are, dear hearts, at the first truest anniversary of the release of The Horror and the Wild. An absolute masterpiece of an album that teaches us that we are capable of not only great fury and sadness, but beauty and kindness as well. I really looked into the meanings of flowers for this one, incorporating poppies, marigolds, and yarrow. Flowers that can represent anger and hurt, but also remembrance, passion, and healing. Anyway, here's my tribute to That Unwanted Animal by The Amazing Devil.

Well, hello.
A couple months ago one silly woman (me) decided that it’s time for creativity to take a hold of her and let something cool into this world.
And that’s how I decided to give birth to…a The Amazing Devil blanket.
Or I might have dreamed it whilst being feverish. Who knows.
It’s been three months of stitching, embroidering, sewing, unmaking the mistakes, cursing, saying ‘waahheeey’ at the end of the complete step, cursing again and enjoying the hell out of the process of something being made into the realness.
It is literally the embodiment of me. I love it and hate it equally. It has got my favourite quotes from the songs. Yes, that’s me — your favourite girl with maelstrom of lyrics instead of a brain. It also has got some of my blood somewhere along the stitches (did i do it on purpose to please the fae gods aka Joey and Madeleine? you’ll never know. hashtag blood magic.)
I wanted to get it done for the Ruin Appreciation Week (though it contains lyrics from all albums) so that was me last week because it was very FAR from being done:
I’m posting the bigger picture + close ups of smaller details and songs’ lyrics. Please feel free to reach out if you want to see a better close up or just to pat me on the head.
I’m posting a video too. It’s silly so enjoey. (ha! see what I did here. that was a typing accident. it’s 1am now. forgive me my jokes.)
warning: the video include some probably offensive actions to the professional seamstresses. i’m only a humble ignorant person who decided to sew for the first time in her life. i do hope you’ll like it.
references used:
the central embroidery: TAD’s old picture from some posters back in the love run era + some sage and forget-me-nots
top right and left bottom corners: pictures of joey and madeleine
songs: secret worlds, the calling, inkpot gods, drinking song for the socially anxious, chords, farewell wanderlust, not yet/love run (reprise), that unwanted animal, battle cries, elsa’s song, wild blue yonder
UPD: A few of you have been asking about the quotes I used on my blanket/quilt and why I chose them so here I am:
If you ask me for my fire, just watch me burn — you know what, I recently started to interpret this line in a positive way? It was a recent thing I understood about myself. I always thought I was good at working/doing things well in the long run, when you have to do it patiently and for years but in my journey of self-discovery I realized that in reality I’m much better as a sprinter — someone who does an incredible job while being under the vast amount of pressure and when you need to do it in a restricted period of time; I will give all of myself to this project/work, every bit of passion I have, every bit of patience. So yeah. If you ask me for my fire — just watch me burn. But then I’ll hibernate for a month.
Can’t you hear it howling? — OKAY HANDS DOWN PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE LYRICS/MELODY SECTION FROM THE WHOLE RUIN ALBUM. Even not the part that is sung by Madeleine, but the back voices Joey’s harmonies sing in the final chorus at 4:28 and till the end. OOOOH WHY SO GOOD.
If I don’t make it back from where i’ve gone just know I loved you all along — this is such a beautiful closing of the song. also such a tormenting thought. i love it.
Such endless blue — I’ve always been drawn to the dark blue colours, especially when I paint. I always run out of the blue watercolour because contrary to this song, it’s not endless :D I’m manifesting an abyss of blue watercolour for myself here lol
You say the words so often but I barely know the meaning — okay so Elsa’ Song is primarily pretty heartbreaking right? The more heartbreaking part being that it is sung as a lullaby. Who didn’t have that moment when the meaning of the words you’re saying slips through your fingers just because you said them too often? Who didn’t have that sad awakening moment of losing trust in a person just because they always promised something and never did it?
After summers of fasting I feel hunger at last — I’ve been thinking about tattooing this quote for quite a while now. It reminds me of my depressive state which very often returned to me in summer and every time it slowly creeped away, I felt the hunger for life in the early autumn. Every time felt like an eternity.
Is nought but fumble-falls and guns and tumbleweeds, love, run — my favourite quote from the superior use of the English language that is that section in Love Run. I am in love with it. All the phonetic twirls makes me shiver sometimes.
Well, hello my hollow Holofernes — ALLITERATION SUPREMACY!!
I’ll sing silence and ask my glass of wine for guidance — i love to sit at home alone and stare into my glass. it doesn’t answer though. what about it. and again — to sing silence? OXYMORONS GIVE ME THEM
Go tell me how we fucked you up and oh my god, it’s so unfair — ah. the hardship of parenting/teaching. I was there, I remember it all too well.
Let’s us waltz for the dead — the oxymoronic style of this line IS JUST A CHEF’S KISS. WALTZ? VERY SOPHISTICATED THING? FOR THE DEAD? NOT THAT PLEASANT TYPE OF A THING? mister batey let me boop you affectionately on the nose you are so clever.

"Come back, come back, we don't have time to fuck around"
The older I'm getting, the harder this line is hitting. I have been working on this piece for MONTHS. It was a little masochistic of me to make that many French knots on this big of a hoop, but in the end, the texture of them is perfect for the hedge effect in this piece inspired by Pruning Shears!

My first attempt at an embroidery project that I actually finished, and my first time trying satin stitching!
I wanted to try something small for my first time trying this again in so long, and I think it turned out pretty well! Also, the fabric is more of a greenish blue than the photos are making it seem, I couldn’t quite get the camera to cooperate with it.
Inspired by and lyrics from “Welly Boots” by The Amazing Devil! (My TAD blog is over at @showerday )

I walked into the river
To wring those embers from my broken heart and broken liver
But there's more than water in these autumn hands
@joeybateyofficial
#the amazing devil#Tad lyrics#joey batey#madeleine hyland#The Calling#Happy Ruinversary!!!#I'm still not sure if this work is finished#My initial plan was to embroider the leaves and maybe the flames#But I'd ruin the flames#But maybe also the bushes#Idk#I'm kinda proud of the water underneath the hand#Cause damn did I have to figure out how to draw water#And the embers 😅#Anyway#Any suggestions/opinions of adding embroidery to this?#And yes I completely forgot I wanted to post this#Also I know these photos aren't great#The light just didn't want to play along#Tad fanart

Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious by The Amazing Devil
“And in a moment of total rapture and with every strength I have I ask if you play D&D and your face lights up like you've woken up from this endless fucking nightmare of pretending this is you, this is us, this is me and this how we're meant to be but your smile tells me I'm safe and that voice unspoken's heard ‘Cause if God make us all in his image then God's a fucking nerd”

this painting is nearly finished now, but i have one more decision to make. i was originally planning to embroider on lyrics from Inkpot Gods by the Amazing Devil. but i'm not certain that's still the way to go
also i'm not certain what lyrics. options are!
1
I will be the man my father never was + I’m more than what my mum told me to be
2
If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone
Just know I loved you all along
3
And what you see is not the dark
It’s just the gods upturning inkpots
Cos they know what you’ll become
bear in mind that the size of the painting is between a5 and a4, and about an inch on all edges is unembroiderable, on account of wood
reblogs and thoughts about what colour to embroider in are most welcome

"Stop asking why I'm sad, just know, it's enough to know I'm sad"
I know it's been awhile, but I'm simply couldn't let Madeleine Hyland's birthday pass without a little celebration. So here is a tribute to our benevolent queen, Madeleine, and the heartrending wonder that is Little Miss Why So by The Amazing Devil

"Fret not, dear heart, let not them hear
The mutterings of all your fears
The fluttering of all your wings
Welcome to the storm, I am thunder
Welcome to my table, bring your hunger
Think of all the horrors that I promised you I'd bring
I promise you, they'll sing of every time
You passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
Witness me, old man, I am the wild"
The Horror and the Wild- The Amazing Devil

"And I wish that I could take his hand, but where I'm going is for me and me alone."
Sometimes goodbye is the only thing we can say and it isn't always easy, but love is a fierce and transcendent thing and has ways of coming back to us. Inspired this time by "Inkpot Gods" by the ever magical ever wonderful The Amazing Devil
