Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

Here is where our story begins. It tells the tale of Hola of Claw Island, a Wolpertingess who was not unlike any other Wolperting. She was good at combat, strong and swift, and naturally talented when wielding a weapon. Though there was one difference to any other Wolperting: She was the first Wolpertingess to see a Silver Thread.

Hola is a nunchaku wielding, no nonsense taking Wolpertingess who wears colourful tunics thanks to her foster father, a Rickshaw Demon, and has a soft spot for a gentle Wolperting who can cook like no other.

hey so can we talk about Rumo as a character? cause I feel like he's kind of overlooked here in the fandom even though I think there are aspects of his character that deserve to be talked about or at least pointed out. plus he is a character that, for me, is relatable on SO MANY LEVELS and I need to talk about that or I will go insane. is someone willing to talk with me about my boy and listen to my ramblings

that sounds so good, I wish I could read a translation (⁠T⁠T⁠) thank you for the amazing summary, I have to write my thoughts on it because this is the first time I see this much of the plot explained.

- it seems like hilde has actual trauma from the events of Codb which.. valid. It makes sense after the whole shitshow he experienced in the catacombs and at the end of the book (rip homuncolossus, you would've loved ao3). he needs therapy. I don't even think they have therapy in zamonia but they should definitely invent it, cause oh boy...

- and yeah. our dino being the ONLY one who didn't get seasick on that boat? press x to doubt. I smell bullshit my guy.

- 1 and a half hours of explaining all the cool stuff he saw in the museum? very moers thing to do. atp i would be kind of suspicious that someone else wrote it if this kind of thing wasn't there haha

-so the Quaquappa is kind of like a parallel to the shadow kings story and Hildegunst is automatically feeling for it cause it reminds him of him? ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ ouch. I may or may not be crying. it's actually really sad to see just how affected he is by Homuncolossus' death (for the context I haven't yet read the labyrinth of dreaming books so I didn't have the chance to see it aside from a couple of people mentioning here that he is VERY affected)

-also I love the Quaquappa. I've never heard of it until this day but I love the Quaquappa.

i feel like millions of English-speaking contemporary romance writers struggle with fleshing out strong and convincing romantic relationships in their works while the craziest, most serious and reckless magnetic 'love-and-affection' magic was accidentally assigned to a couple of barely humanoid creatures in a whimsical fantasy/dark fairy tale book written by a reclusive German author

The next Zamonia novel is nearing its completion. I can say this much: You have seen the protagonist in Captain Bluebear and it's set in a different dimension.

Walter Moers, one day you will be the death of me!

Instead of giving us new information on Castle of Dreaming Books, he announced yet another book that was on nobody's radars.

The One-Horned Squirrel that wanted to live backwards (Twenty Zamonian Flables) will be released on September 4th.

Ein Einhörnchen, das lieber rückwärts leben möchte; ein Werwolf, der ein Wiewolf sein will; eine fleischfressende Pflanze, die gern Vegetarierin wäre; zwei Vampirgeierbrüder, die Aas verachten – etliche Bewohner des Kontinentes Zamonien haben Probleme mit ihrer Identität und daher kein leichtes Leben. Aber ob Dummwolf oder Schlaufuchs, ob Schmiegehäschen oder Halbtagsfliege, ob Froschling oder Buchling, sie alle finden ihren Weg in dieser Welt, in der die Fantasie und der Humor völlig außer Kontrolle geraten sind. Zwanzig zamonische Flabeln* über diverse Spielarten zamonischen Daseins aus der Feder von Bestsellerautor Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, kongenial übersetzt, illustriert und mit einem Nachwort – »Humor ist ein ernstes Geschäft« – von Walter Moers. *Die »Flabel« bezeichnet eine humorvoll-anarchische zamonische Kurzgeschichte und kennt, im Gegensatz zur klassischen Tierfabel, keinerlei Moral.

A One-Horned Squirrel that wants to live backwards; a Whowolf that wants to be a Howwolf; a carnivorous plant that wants to be a vegetarian; two vampire vulture brothers that despise carrion - several inhabitants of the continent Zamonia have issues with their identity and a hard life because of that. Whether Dumb Wolf or Clever Fox, Snuggle Bunny or Half-Day-Fly, Frogling or Bookling, they all find their way in this world where fantasy and humour have completely escalated.

Twenty Zamonian flables* about certain varieties of Zamonian lifeforms penned by bestselling novelist Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, congenially translated, illustrated and provided with a postscript - "humour is serious business" - by Walter Moers.

*A flable is a humorous-anarchistic Zamonian short story and knows, contrary to the classic fable, no moral.

i was bored

[jade-from-zamonia]

Sooo, i really like general ticktock, i decided to make some fanart

i really love ,,rumo" and general ticktock is by far my favorite character

(no one can tell, my profile name is totally neutral)

[jade-from-zamonia]

And because i had nothing to do and my charcoal has to be good for something, here's an illustration of general ticktocks tower

I dunno if the door is small or if the tower and everything is really big but anyways

I might make some more art, some people rly seemed to like my first post (thx)

[jade-from-zamonia]

ah man this is stuff from about 1 year ago but i like coming back to it...

This is hildegunst von mythenmetz, a known Zamonian writer!! Basically, i wanted to redesign the books by hildegunst von mythenmetz Walter Moers in my style for uni....and these were the skecthes i did but to be fair i just wanted to draw more of Moerses characters xd

Ive known these books for a long time and its such a shame so little people know about them! Theyre mostly popular in germany and sadly they stopped translating them... Im not sure how i can sell you this series but City of Dreaming Books is great, it reminds me of grimms fairy tales but theyre humoristic as well, and moers did the illustrations for it himself... Recently a visual novel of the book i mentioned came out and its looking real pretty as well (also the books mostly feature non human characters which is cool for me i like creatures)

[jade-from-zamonia]

Uh so a certain brain rot is back

Didn't expect that

Anyways so I read all the Zamonien books like 5 years ago and back then I wasn't as good at art as now so with the brain rot back I might be doing some fanart and I'm strating with Hildegunst of course because how else
