Characters Masterpost
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Asmund Sorenson
The titular Redwood (his nickname). A gentle giant stranded far from home, displaced in both space and time. Thanks to the amulet Terence gave him, he can shrink and blend in with humans. He's incapable of standing by when someone needs help, which often gets him into big messes. He has a dry sense of humor and is a lover of terrible puns.
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Terence Foster
Clever, calculating, and generous despite himself. He's a trained mage, but lost his magic license due to an incident and now practices illegally. If you ask him, he's not to be trusted. Somehow he always ends up putting himself in a pinch for his friends, despite grumbling the entire way.
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Signe Willow
A healer swears not to do harm. Signe may have missed the memo. She's an invaluable asset to the team, and the most forceful personality among them. Don't ask what she's running away from.
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Roland Thatcher
Giant's-bane? Or giant's-boon? Roland fancied himself a giant slayer awaiting his moment of glory - until the day Asmund saved his life. Now he'll follow the giant to the ends of the earth until he's repaid his debt, whether Asmund likes it or not.
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Cecil Vale
Terence's former magic mentor. A powerful mage with connections to a family rumored to keep the secret to the forbidden magic of Chronomancy.
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Morwyn Ivarson
A scribe by trade, with close connection to Asmund's family. The two were raised closely as children, and consider each other like brothers. Morwyn is an anxious, fretful personality and has been sickly since childhood. This doesn't stop him from being a valuable source of both sass and blunt honesty for Asmund.
āĖ ā§ āāāāā±āā°āāāā ā§ āĖ
Theo
A mystery for now.

The Redwood Project blog now has a characters masterlist! Will be updating this as I go.
Itās so easy to get attached to your characters, theyāre all unique I love them ā¤ļø (also hello! sorry, should have started with this)
I also love the healer girl (Signe if I remember correctly) (how do you pronounce her name too?), she looks adorable
And she seems to like Asmund quite a bit (from the posts I saw on your blog), how does she meet him?
Love your work! :D
Awww thank you!! (Hello hello hiii šāØ)
There are multiple pronunciations depending on language and region but the one Iāve been using is āSIHG-neeā.
Like is an understatement! Those two will eventually be married, itās just a matter of time. Theyāre my one canon ship, and if I play it right theyāll be a long slow burn at that.
Iām still playing around with a few different ideas for how they met, but one of my favorites goes like this:
I need to add something to this because please imagine Asmund sheepishly trying to fix one of the hanging lamps that heād knocked crooked while heās stuck crouched, shoulders brushing the ceiling, surrounded by absolute wreckage.
Today I offer random drawing of Ethan's full giant design. Tomorrow? Who knows. I'm tired lol

Worldbuilding!ā(Ė¶Ė įµ Ė˶)ā
Part II
The homes of the giants in my re-imagining of Jack and the Beanstalk; they're often larger than actual islands--more like continents--but not all are made equal. Their means of 'flying' (more like hovering and riding high altitude wind currents) are largely unknown aside from their magic nature, but current theories among humans and giants alike lean towards the idea of a magic nexus in their cores, providing the necessities of life
Dark Forests
These redwoods aren't a single tree, but a species that grow in groups and fuse into winding towers [3]. They grow far larger than 'lowland' redwoods, and far larger than the giants who often use them. Their dense canopies often take the brunt of the weakened winds that make their way down the mountains, and in response have adapted to weave their boughs into their neighbors' and create a proper ceiling out of their canopies; a behavior that results in Dark Forests. These are exactly what they sound like; a phenomenon that often leads to a barren forest floor too dark to see three feet into [4]. It's also an environment where gigantic creatures thrive, many being unique to the islands; but it's not the only curious environment the islands have to offer
The Howling Caverns
Thereās some places on the islands where no giant goes; possibly the most dangerous of these being the system of caves that run beneath the island itself. The howling caverns were formed by wind carving tunnels through the rockāa process which has yet to stopāand they get their name from the constant, ghostly sound it makes as it does. Those few who have attempted to travel them describe the terrible sensation of their breath being violently stolen by the currents, and the danger has resulted in them largely remaining a mystery. For the average island dweller theyāre mostly known as a favored topic of conspiracy theories, but itās generally recommended to tie a rope around yourself and have someone to pull you out if you try seeing them for yourself

Worldbuilding! |˶ĖįµĖ )ļ¾ļ¾
I havenāt yet posted anything worldbuilding related, so hereās my introduction, starting with a few rules Iāve set for this project
1) I will be drawing from real world folk tales and real world cultures, but nothing is married to irl inspirations and should not be treated as actual representations of their real counterparts š
2) Whimsy. Everywhere. Iām not talking the Alice in Wonderland sort (though itās not out of the question), Iām talking the sort that calls back to the sense of sharing old folk tales and when the dark and chilly world was held at bay by warm blankets and cocoa. If it doesnāt add to the whimsy it should be adding to the sense of grounding that emphasizes the whimsy when it shows
3) Rule of Cool. I know the trend nowadays is to be as scientifically accurate as possible, and while I will be including some details inspired by science they will be working in tandem with the whimsy, not overriding it. If it feels right itās staying (*įµį“įµ)ā¾ā¾
4) Not everything has an answer. In real life we know very little of our own beginnings and the first cultures that existed, and itās from those places where myths are born. To keep things feeling rooted in old tradition I will purposefully be leaving some aspects vague, convoluted, contradictory (especially from different perspectives), or even non existent
And with that out of the way; the giants ą“¦ąµą“¦ą“æ ĖĶĢź³ĖĶĢ )ā§
Because I know thatās what everyoneās here for. Gosh thereās no good place to start so sorry in advance for the rambling
LOVE IT! Keep going!

Wick's End Masterpost
Set in a fantasy RPG, selfless soldier Glendale cheats death at the cost of living on with a curse. Now 6" tall, he quests with his personal servant Harry (a dog that has mysteriously turned human) and comrade Freya to find cures for their respective ailments.
ā|āāāāāāāļŗ¤
A lighthearted fantasy adventure story that transforms its zany premise into a meaningful exploration of the burnout experience. Wick's End is SFW and for all audiences, with occasional themes of substance usage.

Hi! Just wanted to make a post to bring attention to some of the creators out there ⨠There are so many awesome artists and writers around that deserve all the love š Some that Iād like to point out especially are

@exileseverafter follows the events of Jack and the Beanstalk, but from the POV of a giant whoād helped Jack escape- and is now exiled to the land of humans, curses, and powerful fairies š® You can read it on AO3!
@wicksend is a comic about a soldier who gets shrunk! You can follow his journey trying to adjust to his knew life, and whether or not he can return to his old size āļø

@entomolog-t writes, draws, and reblogs gentle giantesses and monster coded smols, exploring angst and power dynamicsš©ø

GT July: Coveted
Characters are from The Exiles Ever After. Her Imperial Eternity. Weaver of the Golden Thread of Fate. Blessed of the Faerie Queen, The Ever After Empress Valerian.Ā
Scarlet Sun, Rider of the Blazing Day, never really absorbed the meanings of all of Her titles until he first saw Her. And then he knew.Ā
She was graceful. She was wise. She was secretive, her every hand gesture and smile the calculated result of hundreds of thousands of minds processing in tandem. Everything She did, every action Her systems took moved the world a little closer to domination and eternal peace under the Empire. Knowing more about how She worked than most citizens and officials just made Her more terrifying, more awe-inspiring and beautiful.Ā
She was beautiful. No matter how many bodies She used and shed, the inner beauty of Her authority and power shone through. And Scarlet was in love with Her, all of her many minds and bodies.
It was that love that brought about a jealousy he knew could ruin him.Ā
Scarlet was a Flowerling, the smallest of the Kinfolk who lived in a āworld of towers,ā as the philosophers liked to call it. The Empressās current body was human. He could comfortably sit in the palm of Her hand if She ever invited him to do so. He had been proud of his small size, how it served him as a spy and assassin, excerptā¦
Oh, to stand face-to-face with the Empress, as human-sized Dark Midnight could do. To tower over Her and bow to one knee as Her gigantic warrior, as Bright Morning did. He loved his fellow Riders, but oh, to be all of those things and his tiny, wily self, to be her one Rider.Ā
It was a betrayal in his heart, treason against the vow of equal duty the three Riders shared. And it was nearly impossible. To shift back and forth so quickly without dying, to change size so dramatically, it was something no one in memory had done before.Ā
And Scarlet wanted it in the depths of his soul. He wanted to be her Flowerling, and her human, and her giant.Ā
He wanted to be Her everything, so that one day Her myriad minds would look upon him and only him.
Exiles Ever After Book 3 UPDATED
So for some reason, two very plot-important chapters didn't make it to the AO3 posting of Exiles Book 3. I found them and figured out how to integrate them. If you have already read book 3, the "new" chapters are Chapter 15 "The Pure Heart" and Chapter 51 "Wish and Witch." I highly suggest giving them a look, as you can't imagine how annoyed I was with myself when I realized they weren't there for some reason.
If you haven't read Book 3, theeeen this won't really be relevant to you! But now you get to read the complete version! So there.
