It's funny how the women on this site used to worship the British in the early 2010's because of the BBC Sherlock and Doctor Who. Now they just ruthlessly shit on the British every chance they get.

Dating Pro Tip! : Take them to a place they’ll hate 🥰
All I've ever wanted since I was a wee dibbun was a complete map of the world of Redwall. So I made one :D
I took photos of all of the maps at the start of every book, photoshopped them into their approximate sizes and positions. Then filled in any blanks in the map by making it look more or less like fantasy England. And then skimmed through every book making sure I missed as few details as possible.
Once it was all done I had it printed onto some fabric and made a wall hanging :D
This took FOREVER. I started the project years ago and eventually got around to finishing it like, a month ago? Anyway I am very pleased with the outcome.
And here is the high res files for anyone looking to zoom in on all of the tiny details, or have their own map printed :D Go live out your Redwall dreams like I have!
my boy!!!! (・.◤)
