as a reminder to my fellow queer people today: but first, they must catch you.

despite everything, we must keep existing. we must live. this is not the end, and we must be here for those who need us.

Watership Down OC Sketchdump

Have I been doing anything productive?

No.

Have I been binge-watching the 1999 Watership Down tv series and doodling?

Absolutely.

Thorn - My main Watership down FC. She is a mystic with empathic abilities, and is able to feel what other rabbits around her are going through emotionally and physically, which is a very overwhelming and exhausting ability that Fiver and Silverweed are helping her learn to control and meditate so she's not overstimulated all the time.

Thorns parents - Thier names are Ivy and Bracken. Her mother was a Hlessi who joined her fathers small family warren after falling in love with him. They are basically a large rabbit wife and her tiny husbun <3 Thorns mom is a big fluffy lady, while her father is small and sleek. Thorn gets her size and build from her father, but her coloring from her mother. They both died as a result of the nearby stream being poisoned and tainting the plant life around the warren. Thorn is the only surviving member thanks to her Mystic sensitivity, though she was a child and unable to save her family because no one believed her about the grass being bad.

 I like to think about her sometimes - I was listening to Alternative by Rory and I think it's a good song for Thorn, dreaming about what her life would have been like if she hadn't been orphaned, or wasn't born with her abilities. 

She has stared the darkness in the eye - Who is she from Centaurworld was another song I was listening to and thought about Thorn. I think that the voice actress for horse would be perfect for her tbh. also, Thorn has faced death many times, watching her entire family drop off like flies, so confronting the Black Rabbit of Inle isn't out of the realm of possibilities for her.

Briar - Another OC. She's Primrose's younger sister. I wanted her to have a similar shape and color palette, but not look exactly like her. Briar has a lot of anger and resentment built up against her sister, feeling abandoned by her in Efrafra. to be fair, Primrose had no idea where her sister was in the warren, or if she was even alive, but Briar thinks that since Primrose escaped, she should have tried harder to rescue her sooner.

Hazel and Fiver (Watership Down) as WoF dragons :)

Both are Skywing/Nightwing hybrids!

i love how in Tales from Watership Down we get to know that yes, Vilthuril, is just as strange and unsettling as Fiver.

I loved Hannah and Bigwig in 99 guys I wish they had more screen timeee

I wish they like actually did stuff about Bigwig acknowledging Hannah as a useful member of the team I swear they did that song and dance like 3 times

they're best friends in my head

Losing my shit over these characters honestly 😭😭😭

I actually love Fiver. One of the few things I did enjoy about the miniseries.

CLIPSTUDIO LET ME LOG IN IM SO HAPPY....

KoiKass is my name on deviantart I was just not about to go back and change it

it was my brothers 18th on the 30th of July and it made me cry a little to see how grown we've got and we're not children racing downstairs to get player 1 on the wii anymore and playing tull the street lights outside anymore.

but it got me connected with my childhood and I decided to redraw some watership down rabbits

[cinder-starlight]

Watching watership down ‘78 has me considering how much more cooler future/fan adaptations of the series could be if done with hares instead of rabbits

Yeah the idea of rabbits of all things—cute little critters we as people find charming and innocent—being hurt and having to handle the harsh realities of life hits harder

But I think hares would ultimately be cooler and have more potential. I’ve heard stories of people who got jumped by hares or how hares are the mad lads of the bunny world essentially—the idea of someone like Bigwig being a hare and throwing hands with Woundwort becomes more appealing after you see how hares fight irl, although hares are nothing at all like bunnies I do think it would make for an interesting adaptation

Netflix might’ve taken this route from what I’ve heard people say—and I can see it, everyone looks more like a hare rather than a rabbit. But I still think there’s a lot of potential for it like AU’s

And by the looks of the fandoms art it seems a lot of people draw them as hares rather than rabbits (which I find cool as hell)

Note: I’m aware hares don’t burrow and are vastly different from rabbits but I’m mainly thinking about them art wise and everybody boxing/throwing hare hands
