"All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you."

Aaaah watership down... Rabbits 😭

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you

Can't say I love this piece, it's cluttered and busy and I could never settle on a pose but what else can you do??

[wonderwyrm]

But first, they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

"The prince with a thousand enemies" quote hits different when you're marginalized

The full quote is like 80% despair and 20% hope. Basically, God says to the semi-divine Prince of Rabbits "everything in this world wants to catch and kill you. But while you are powerless, you are not helpless. Run fast, hide well, warn and help others like you and you will never be erased from this earth." El-ahrairah is not given weapons but tools to help him and his people survive (claws to dig havens, ears to listen, legs to run, feet to thump and warn). And despite how hard it is for him to survive, despite all his enemies, he is still noble, admirable and possessing dignity. He is a Prince.

Today some shmuck tried to rob me with a knife but i simply went "no thank you" and broke out running for the fucking hills thinking "damn this is just like. just like that one scene in redstone and skulk" cause that's the london living life 💪 imagine being me sike YOU CANT

Anon how does it feel to be the most badass person on planet earth? Jesus Christ.

I'm imagining Tanguish running beside you cheering you on. Yes! Run! Run faster! Look at the stupid look on their face! But do not stop running!

My bf was showing my art to some coworkers and he mentioned my Watership down fanart, and none of his coworkers ever heard of WSD! Not even at the mention of rabbits. XD I know not everyone has read it but I kind of assumed everyone knew about it somewhat, like Lord of the Rings 😆 I really live in a bubble..

Anyway I love Watership down and here is all my finished art of it so far! I'm not tired of it yet. :) artofmaquenda.etsy.com

A super old digital sketch of Firepaw and Bluestar from around last year that I did and then forgot about.

90% of Watership Down content you see (art, quotes, references, everything) is about the blessing of El-ahrairah and honestly I get it, that quote hits harder than anything most books have to offer

THIS WILD RABBIT SAT THERE FOR 20 MINUTES AND LISTENED TO ME SPEAK ABOUT EVERYTHING AND NOTHING IN A LANGUAGE SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND TILL MY TRAIN ARRIVED IF SHE COULD UNDERSTAND OR REPLY SHE WOULD SPEAK OF GRASS AND FUR AND FEAR IN THE TONGUE OF ELAHREHRAH THE PRINCE OF A THOUSAND ENEMIES AND THE BLACK MAIDEN OF INLAY UNDER THE FRITH. HOW DO I SCREAM IN RABBIT I THINK I'VE REACHED THE NIRVANA OF THE TRUE RELIGION. SHE CAN'T REPLY BECAUSE HER KIND DON'T HAVE A LANGUAGE, BUT JUST THINK WHAT IF SHE'S WONDERED ABOUT SOMETHING MORE THAN EATING RUNNING AND REPRODUCING??!! WHAT IF SHE KNEW THERE WAS MORE, THAT YOU COULD SPEAK OF A STAMPING FOOT INSTEAD OF JUST DOING SO, AND SHE COULDN'T EVEN CONVEY THOSE THOUGHTS TO HER FELLOWS, IT WOULD BE HELL ITSELF. BUT THE KNOWING ITSELF WOULD BE MADNESS, FOR FROM FRITH'S VIEW, DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOUR BODY TELLS YOU IS MADNESS, SO WHAT IF WE ARE THE MAD ONES AND THEY ARE SANE, WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE BEING BORN TO COLOURED MADNESS AND SHE TO HELLISH SANITY?! HOW DO I SCREAM IN RABBIT???!!!!
