I never noticed that big cake in the background :)

Always loved the aesthetic of redwall feasts

Old art share.

“Balefur’ and “Marlfox” from 2012

“The Long Patrol” sat unfinished until 2014

I miss Corel Painter 11 and 12, I have yet to find any digital pastel brushes or oils that match up.

I’m not part of any fandom, these were odes to the books I enjoyed as a kid despite the well discussed flaws regarding good and evil characterization, and I did get bored of the newer books past Rakkity Tam and Triss.

I did also for a short time as a child receive newsletters and goodies from the fanclub, but honestly none of it was great and getting mail was so difficult.

I would always skip over the feasts and fluff to get back to the villains, their chapters were so much more interesting.

Shrimp 'n' hotroot soup in the Redwall books: described as basically the spiciest thing ever, so much it causes characters to have tears streaming down their faces

Shrimp 'n' hotroot soup in the official Redwall cookbook:

Contains one (1) teaspoon of curry powder or chili powder and that's it

[Image descriptions: First is a picture of most of the shrimp 'n' hotroot soup recipe, including all the ingredients. Second is zoomed in on one ingredient in the list, reading "1 teaspoon curry powder or chili powder, or to taste"]

Happy 86th birthday, Brian Jacques ♥️

Yesterday was Brian Jacques' birthday ♥️

I was on traveling all day, and did not manage to write anything. However, yesterday, 6/15/2024, would have been Brian Jacques 85th birthday, had he been alive to see it. So, here I am, saying happy birthday to Mr. Brian Jacques ♥️ and, as always, thank you for everything you have done ♥️

I keep having fun with the concept of hare Henry x) He's not a big hare, it's just a hare-sized forge hahaha (and the horseshoes are probably for hare-sized horses or pony)

Clogg and Badrang Rambles…Because there’s not much content of them as a (sort of, used to be) couple and I got ideas from rewatching their scenes together in Martin The Warrior.

- Clogg is the only guy Badrang knows who kills without mercy while also having an (almost) innocent and wholesome side (believes in magic and good luck, most likely to wish on a shooting star, probably still believes in Santa Clause). Sometimes it’s annoying but Badrang also finds it funny and adorable.

-When they were shipmates, Clogg made it his personal mission to make Badrang laugh. He made an absolute fool of himself but he succeeded multiple times (usually in secret but Badrang couldn’t always hide a giggle or snort).

- Badrang has always called him ‘Cloggy’. He never used Clogg’s first name unless he was serious with him.

- Woodlanders who have been their slaves since the ship days can recall all sorts of misadventures between Badrang and Clogg.

- There is nothing Clogg could say or do that would shock Badrang anymore. That sea dog has drunkenly proposed marriage (multiple times actually), searched for mermaid gold, found a way to make wine from seaweed, pulled Badrang into dancing with him, came up with glory and romantic fantasies of them together and had even said he wanted a child at one point.

- Side note here, Clogg doesn’t really know where babies come from. Well, he kind of does but he thinks that ‘doing the deed’ with anyone automatically means one of them is going to have a baby. This lead to very awkward conversations between him and Badrang. He still doesn’t get it!

- Also yes, Clogg has proposed to Badrang more than once. Several times even after they were already married and so many more times after their divorce (always when drunk).

-No one really knows what their marriage was like (due to their crew and soldiers being sworn to secrecy and their slaves losing the plot) but Clogg and Badrang mutually agreed on the divorce…The part where they didn’t quite work as a married couple I mean.

- As divorced exes, they fight over everything!

- Though he will never admit it, Badrang knows Clogg is the only beast who ever truly loved him and part of him still loves him despite everything.

- Clogg has conflicted feelings about Badrang’s death. He’s glad the constant bickering is over but he has also sworn to kill Martin if he ever ran into him (huge emphasis on if there).

- Badrang was (sort of) protective of Clogg. He was less likely to fall for scams and magic tricks when they were married.

- The cause of their divorce was likely due to both of them wanting all the gold, slaves and power for themselves. There was probably other reasons but that was the biggest one.

- Badrang was ‘the one that got away’ for Clogg. Yeah he had other relationships since then (none that stuck though) but he never really got over Badrang.

- Clogg’s crew and Badrang’s army secretly kept score of all the times they fought and/or acted like they could be getting back together. This score goes back to when they were married.

- Martin, Felldoh, Keyla and other younger slaves likely didn’t know much about Badrang and Clogg’s crazy history but Barkjon did. He and older slaves filled them in on the drama!

- If he had any capacity for love, Badrang showed it to Clogg at one point in time. He may never say it but he truly did love Clogg as much as his cold heart could have.

Feel free to add more! 😆

Weird Question but does anyone else kind of see Badrang and Clogg as a thing?

I don’t necessarily ship them together, but I can see them as a ‘platonic, long and chaotic history, love-hate, jilted ex’s but still have some feelings for each other’ kind of duo.

Basically, Clogg and Badrang have both threatened to, attempted to, and are fully capable of killing each other but they also trust each other on a deep and personal level (have seen each other drunk, hungover, naked, sea-sick, slept on each other’s couch or bed, possibly have held each other hair back as they threw up, etc)

My sad sad nail polish looks like Mossflower. Gonff is upside down. Poor guy

I've had this @ethanmaldridge print for years now and today I finally got him into a frame and onto my shelf. Now he can watch over my Redwall collection!
