The Jersey Devil Deserves More Clout, You Guys are just Mean by Mattie Brown
I am so tired of not being able to find any good content about the Jersey Devil in the Cryptid tag. What does everyone have against my sweet scaly son. Is it because he’s from New Jersey? I know everyone hates on New Jersey, but come on that’s not his fault. He’s just a smol bean living his best life out in the woods unlike some desperate bitches. That’s right, I’m calling out Bigfoot. I mean what the hell? Why did everyone and their mother collectively decide that Bigfoot was the end all be all of the cryptid fandom. People are even putting their bigfoot fics and imagines in the Jersey Devil tag? Like, can you not. I’m so sick of having to shovel through bigfoot stuff to find Jersey Devil content in HIS FREAKING TAG. I can’t stand that crusty ass gorilla. You guys do realize that bigfoot is like, super problematic? He causes so much property damage, leaves mangled deer carcass by highways for street works to clean up, and is just generally kind of an asshole? But you don’t care about that. You just want to post your gross Bigfoot/chupacabra fics despite how many people have explained why it’s such a toxic dynamic. (On that note, if any Bigcabra shippers that follow me, unfollow me right now. ) I know Bigfoot stans are gonna come after me in the notes.Go ahead, I’ll just block you. I don’t have time to put up with your guys childishness. Y’all just don’t want to face the truth.
The Jersey Devil is a literal demonic entity, complete with hooves, wings, and a leathery kangaroo body, and Y’all are thirsting over blurry ass pics of an overgrown grown monkey? Pathetic. And I don’t buy his shy boy routine, either. “Oh, I don’t want people recording me. Let me just wander all over the dam country where tons of people are and then act shocked when people try to prove my existence.” He’s so fake, it’s cringy. You know who always keeps it 100%. The Jersey Devil. He just chills out in his own territory and minds his own business. No games, no gimmicks. Just an old fashion eldritch abomination from Hell. He should be the one with tv shows and movies getting made about him. More importantly, he deserves way more love in the fandom. Why is it that I and other Jersey Devil fans spend hours drawing fan art, writing fic, creating headcanons, ect. and only getting a couple dozen likes, while people can make stupid text posts about any other cryptoid (even human passing ones) and get thousands of reblogs? It’s so frustrating.The Jersey Devil is a real monster. I hate that we live in a society where real monsters are shunted aside for glory hogging douchebags like bigfoot and those alien chads flying around in their tricked out saucers so that everyone will pay attention to them while they go out to Venus for a hook-up.

Devil deserves better. Sure, he might not have the titillating allure and raw magnetic energy that Mothman has, but who does? Nobody. But that doesn’t mean that the Jersey Devil doesn’t have a lot to offer. On the outside he is a terrifying monstrosity of a creature. But on the inside he is a total cinnamon roll. And he can fly. Like how dope is that? Can you imaging just going about your day, hiking along the woods of New Jersey and you see a big, handsome, naked goat goat flying through the air? What an icon. When will your flop ass irrelevant fave ever? ( on an unrelated note, I’m trying to move out to New Jersey. If you want to help me out, the link to my paypal is in my bio.) Anyways, The Jersey Devil is the closest thing we have to a pterodactyl, which is objectively the best dinosaur. Yet we don’t even really appreciate him. He deserves better. I won’t tolerate anymore of this toxic Jersey Devil erassure anymore. I’m forming a Jersey Devil protection squad on my blog. If you want to join you got to reblog and follow me. It’s time for us Jersey Devil enthusiasts to band together tell the world that we stan a skinny legend.
