Character ask 2,12,21,23,25 for Woundwort (sorry 😭)

Never apologize, I love talking about The Characters!

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

I think it's so interesting how he's sort of a "heroic" villain--Adams once said he intended him as a "heroic anti-hero." Because yes, he's a horrible dictator, but he's also charismatic, brave, and strategic, and a sort of protective figure defending Efrafans from elil, even if he takes that too far with the Mark system. I think that's part of what makes him stand out so much as a villain, since he has a few genuinely good qualities that could've made him a great leader if he didn't let his paranoia and ego get the better of him.

On a similar note, another thing I think is great about his character is how perfectly his backstory fits with the sort of rabbit he became (in the book/series at least--his miniseries backstory was totally non sequitur and the film didn't even touch on it at all). I feel like a lot of villains get a generically tragic backstory to "explain" their villainy, but it's very clear imo how Woundwort's trauma actually informs his values and priorities.

ALSO his bonkers relationship with Campion in the 1999 show is so intense I love it. Cause what was all that!!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

he was so in love with campion in the 1999 show but they're both so repressed they'd never say anything

I MEAN. ummm. I do think he died in the book, I don't think he's wandering around the countryside (though that would be a super interesting idea to explore).

I think he invented the term General in the Lapine world, since that's a very un-rabbit-y title and every other chief is called "rah." I think he started using that title once he really began his military conquests, not when he first won the chieftaincy (in my prequel I'm planning out it's a place called Harroway Warren, which he invades soon after founding Efrafa).

I think he lost his eye in the fight with the schoolmaster's cat in the 1999 series (though I think this is a pretty popular hc).

Aaa these are all pretty boring headcanons, sorry. It's just such a broad question!

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Hmm...I have written for him, but not very much yet. One thing I think is important to remember about him is that he is driven by paranoia/fear. He might not fear stoats or dogs, but he's terrified of humans and of losing control, so he wields his power in Efrafa so oppressively because he does not feel secure in it. I think he so instinctively resorts to violence (ie "felt safer fighting than running") because killing something is exerting control over it, and he's trying desperately to beat the world down into something he can control instead of being himself at the mercy of men as he was in the hutch. I like to remember that, and I don't like when fic writers just make him generically evil and drop his motivations.

Also not to sound like a broken record but I like having him be weirdly intense about Campion--

23. Favorite picture of this character?

My fav design for him is definitely the 2023 graphic novel. I think this page has some great pictures:

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

I thought he was a pretty neat antagonist! Adams pretty straightforwardly lays out Woundwort's whole deal in his introductory chapter, so I'd say the first impression was pretty thorough.

Thanks for the ask! I had fun ^-^
