Madeleine Hyland - Tumblr Posts
So, where I live, it's the 22nd of December! Our fae queen Madeleine's birthday! I hope she has a wonderful day ❤
I bought Love Run and TH&TW today! I now own all three TAD albums 😄😄😄 This might be the best day of my life
Scarlet scarlet and the Blue furious boy.
This is a little thing I tried with watercolors when I started. I had no idea who to finish or complete but well 😅
I'm in a sad mood today and I listen to Blossoms all day, so I drew this
And I hurl myself, I heal myself, I drag myself like a rug in the rain
Blossoms - my dress is on fire
Well this is not better than my first try but I tried to make up for some things with color pens 😅. I got the flame part better. But the blue part didn't show much unfortunately.
And then when I played with reversed color, I got that eerie aspect, that seem better than the original, so I put them together.
Finally put 'em up! Originally, I wanted to frame them, but the walls of my bedroom are fucking hollow, so didn't wanna risk it. Unfortunately, the Ruin artwork got a bit damaged cause when I first put them up I didn't stick it properly and it fell 🥲. Luckily, the damage is small (it's on one of the corners) so it's not visible unless you look at it up close.
Also, excuse the small mess on the shelf to the left hahaha.
Edit: I moved them to another wall and put them like this cause my mom was like : *looking at the first formation * "How can you read anything from that one like this?" * Points at Love Run artwork*. And I was like, yeah you're probably right so I just moved them hahahahhaha
I'm as dissatisfied as always, but this is a very quick drawing to warm up
It's just the trees waiting to hear what next you'll hum And what you see is not the dark It's just the gods upturning ink pots 'cause they know what you'll become
The Queen herself liked my comment omg what have I done to deserve this honour
Has anyone seen The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself? If you did, the decimation power in the show, how it's visually depicted... that's how listening to Farewell Wanderlust makes me feel. That and, the first time I heard the song,there was some other feeling/emotion as well, but there probably isn't a word for it,cause listening to TAD makes me feel undiscovered emotions.
(On a side note,I wanted to write today but I just didn't find the strength and inspiration to. There probably won't be any writings for two weeks at least. I am sorry, I really want to continue and eventually finish the list of prompts, I really do. But I am not in a good place mentally right now and just.... can't. I'm sorry.)
Happy new year,Dear Hearts!! Wishing a lot of love,joy and peace to all of you!
And,ofc,happy birthday to Joey :)

anyone who was born at any time that means they’re alive now can’t cook…all they know is listen to the amazing devil, charge they phone, watch the witcher, be bisexual, look at pictures of joey and madeleine & cry
Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland showed reckless disregard for my health when they put New York Torch Song right before Two Minutes in the Love Run album. Like they really went from drums and cymbals, traffic and sirens, turbulence and "fuck youuuuuuuuu" to soft, stripped down, melancholy piano and "we've left all the blinking lights and shouting behind us now" then expected me to just... idk, cope with it, I guess. I'm not coping. I'm not coping very much.
It's funny how the Amazing Devil is my "emotional support pick me up, softly smiling into the sunlight band" but also my "throwing ramdom objects at walls, turning around in circles and screaming into pillows" band.
God I just love the amazing devil like yeah tear me to shreds and then slowly stitch me back together piece by piece that’s the good stuff
I promise you I’m not broken I promise you there’s more More to come, more to reach for, more to hurl at the door
Farewell Wanderlust - The Amazing Devil

Joey batey and madeleine hyland better pay for my fucking therapy
One of the many things that destroys me about the song Ruin is the way it parallels so many other songs from all the various albums.
We have bricks and stones echoing the bricks and stones in Wild Blue Yonder. We have the wallpaper like in Two Minutes. We have “I wish that I’d been brave” like the “people just pretending to be brave” in Little Miss Why So. We have “I’ll sing silence” like in Drinking Song. There are metaphors of fire throughout The Amazing Devil’s songs in everything from Secret Worlds to New York Torch Song to Wild Blue Yonder, making the “wreck of all we’ve burnt” even more poigniant. The piano itself echoes that in Two Minutes and Farewell Wanderlust.
Perhaps there is no particular significance to this. Perhaps it says something about the nature of relationships and of life that so many different stories could be seen as prologues to Ruin, to this story of hearbreak and heart-building. Regardless, it makes me emotional every time.
I'm still and forever absolutely insane over the line "if we join our hands in prayer enough to God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause". There's the initial meaning, of course, of the sheer amount of prayers sounding like a round of applause, but I also love the metaphor behind it.
Prayer strengthens your connection to God, reinforces the bond he has with you. And so every time you beg God for a little relief, a brief respite from the trials of life, you're really increasing the strength of your faith, the power he has over you. It becomes a cycle, almost an abusive relationship, where every struggle God sends you just drives you deeper into his arms.
But it also implies that God doesn't know what he's doing to you! It sounds like applause, because he doesn't know better than to fall for this perversely positive reinforcement. The all-knowing, all loving God is forever making you suffer, because he truly believes that it is what you want. And the harder you try to communicate otherwise? The more applause God hears.
