You know what you really need is an English countryside murder mystery mashup with a splatterpunk supernatural horror movie. Think of it as the Re-Animator of Algernon Blackwood.
You got your level proper countryside Midsommer Murders group of coppers, only now they're not dealing with vengeful old aunties but the rage of nature itself, the raw an unchecked anger of the land given life, the darkness of the woods, the deep sunk pain of rocks and roots. The metaphysical embodiment of natural spirits takes the form of trees, growing form nowhere inside quiet drawing room, through the aging and satisfied ladies at gossip, ripping their bodies into bloody chunks of gore and offal.
But the steadfast inspectors stay at the same level despite investigating crime scenes like the aftermath of an Evil Dead movie, unflappably seeking out the mundane clues leading nowhere and puttering about at home with loving wife and doting daughter. For each tangle of thorns stretched over with gruesome skin and impaled bodies, for each body consumed alive by locusts, for the houses swallowed by earth leaving nothing but a blood soaked skeleton behind, life trundle onward undisturbed.
Which is not to say the protagonist is undisturbed. A historian and preservationist, they're seeking to maintain and increase the records for right if way paths throughout England, much to the annoyance of various gentleman about this quiet country town beside by horror and death. And it falls to them to make the discovery that the right of way paths are not as they're meant to be, no, it seems there's been some moving of landmarks and stone boundaries, an offsetting of the path letting lands fall increasingly into private hands.
Yet those paths and stones and markers were not merely guides. They were lines, sigils, locks and gates to hold back the will of the woods from the lands of men. For a time. For just a small but fair space. A trade of stewardship and watchful wards, but men long forgot the promise of caretaking or what the wards kept at bay.
And now they are paying, as the historian struggles to find the means to close the way. And the steadfast inspector begins to uncover a land grabbing plot. And as time counts down the fae and green and deep eldritch magic of old reaches shadows further into the tidy little village. It may have survived countryside murders for decades, but it will be lucky to last a week under these conditions.

angels, deciding what shape to take when interacting with The Humans: well….eye contact is important to humans, right? they find it reassuring when they can see the eyes of the person they’re talking to. so if we have LOTS of eyes, in very visible places, that’ll be even MORE reassuring
To US leftists out there: please, actually focus on the situation. Focus on Russia and Ukraine.
I'm so tired of how, every time someone condemns Russia's actions, some of you just come in and start going "Oh, but the US did X, Y and Z" or "NATO has issues", as if that's relevant to this situation. It's not. By acting as though the US or NATO is somehow the aggressor here, you are buying into Russian propaganda and downplaying their actions, whether intentionally or not.
In your attempt to be against US imperialism, instead of having a nuanced take, you just side with countries that are anti-US and act as though those countries are inherently better than the US just because they oppose it. But please, understand that two things can be bad at the same time, and not all far-right/imperialist governments like each other.
Also, continuously shifting the focus away from Ukraine and towards the US/NATO is, frankly, very self-centered, and it's completely ignoring the fact that the people who are actually affected by this are Ukrainians. None of you are gonna be affected in any way beyond simply being upset about it.
Which brings me to another point: supposedly progressive people dismissing the idea that Russia is a threat. Yeah, it may not be a threat to you, far away on a different continent if you're in the US, and other NATO members are also safe. But Russia's neighbors who are not in NATO are not safe.
By dismissing Russia (an imperialist autocracy with nuclear weapons, may I remind you) as a real threat is treating the lives of the people in neighboring countries as disposable and lesser than the lives of those in the West. In this specific situation, it's treating Ukrainians as disposable.
Please, just because a country/government opposes the US doesn't mean it's good, or that you have to side with it. The Russian government doesn't hate the US for the same reasons you do. It hates things like human rights, free speech and fair elections - things that are objectively good.
And remember, the only "threat" to Russia by Ukraine preferring the West and wanting to join the EU and/or NATO is that Russia would no longer be able to invade or bully it if it joined, because then it would have protection. There is no "legitimate threat" to Russia here, certainly not militarily.
Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear
