uh, apologies in advance?
My artistic rendition of one of the sweetest moments in fiction. <3 Every relationship in the Underland Chronicles is so gentle and emotional and heartfelt…. I adore these two, always.

Day 7- Free Day
For free day I made a very special and very important google slides presentation! Please click here to view it! <3
@tucweek
I’ve stayed out of this but this presentation has convinced me, I’m fully in support of this relationship now.
Happy Ares Appreciation Day!
I wrote two things for it! The first one, Mars Quirinus, is a fic set from the point of view of a nibbler pup that Ares saves in the Firelands. The second is a quick drabble focusing on some of Ares’ thoughts right before Gregor and Ares go to fight the Bane for the last time.
Yo! I am back with! Angst!!!
Fresh angst served up just for all y’all: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30204780
Get your calendars out everyone!
We (we being the TUC discord server, join it here) have decided that
March 31st
Shall henceforth be known as Ares Appreciation Day. (It also might be @bring-us-back-light’s birthday, they weren’t very clear)
So make some art, make a fanfic, do a backflip, do whatever to join us in appreciating that big found of fur over there known as Ares the Flier!
Also please reblog this post so that as many people as possible see it!
Fly you high everyone!
i guess I get to cry on my birthday for lots of different reasons this year
Oh gods hit’s happening again./.
Underland Chronicles Fandom Week 2020
Get ready for the third annual Underland Chronicles Fandom Week, aka TUC Week!
What is TUC Week? TUC Week is a fandom-driven celebration of the series we all love. Each day, we will provide a different prompt (listed below), and you can create content around that theme, interpreting it however you choose! The community is the engine behind making this event a success, and with your participation, we will make this a great week!
When’s it happening? The event will take place from August 17 through August 23.
What should I make? How else do I contribute? You can make whatever you want! Any medium you can think of is encouraged, including fanart, fics, fanmixes, photo sets, literary analysis, and poetry. And yes—even memes are allowed. Don’t be afraid—just post! It can be the littlest thing, and it still makes the event all the better. You can also contribute through supporting your friends’ content and just being an active presence during the week!
How do I make sure my work gets included as part of the event? Please tag your work as “#underland chronicles fandom week” and/or “#tuc week” and this blog will track both tags. You are also encouraged to tag this account. Feel free to use our submission feature if you’d prefer, too. This blog will chronicle all submissions, and will also provide reminders leading up to the event and answers to any questions you might have.
Can I only participate if I have something to post about everyday? Nope! You can post as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
What are the prompts? Each day will have its own specific prompt, as mentioned earlier. These prompts are all themes, motifs, or sayings derived from the series, and you can feel free to interpret them in whatever way you want, however literally or figuratively. If you’re having trouble understanding or interpreting a prompt, feel free to message this blog or send an ask. DAY ONE: DARKNESS DAY TWO: HOME DAY THREE: BLOOD DAY FOUR: AU DAY DAY FIVE: SCARS DAY SIX: UNITY DAY SEVEN: FREE DAY
A little more on AU Day and Free Day… AU Day is a day for you to come up with your own AU and make content based around that. It could be as similar or different from canon as you like. Coffee shop AU? Go for it. AU where only one plot point is different? Go for it. Free Day is what it sounds like––it’s a day where you can make any TUC content you’d like without any sort of guiding theme.
Do you still need help with the event? You can feel free to join our organizational Discord here, but the most important thing you can do now is help spread information about the event, and of course get started on the content you plan to release!
Any questions? Please feel free to shoot a message or send an ask! Thank you so much for your participation!
Eyyy it’s back!
I'm not sure if this has been requested before, but I'd love to see an AU where Ares didn't die.
An AU where Ares doesn’t die? Sign basically the entire fandom up!!
Below is a rewrite of that fateful scene in the cave and what happens when Gregor wakes up. Hope you like it!

DAY TWO - Preconceptions
For this day I want to try something different (mainly because I tried writing a fic and it failed horribly), so I wrote a little paragraph on an interesting idea I had and invite you all to share any thoughts you have! Okay so obviously we know Ares is shunned and isolated by society etc, and it’s usually believe this is because he let Henry die. HOWEVER, the more I think about this, the less sense it makes. Obviously bonds swear to protect each other with their lives, and Ares broke that bond, but given the sheer amount of hatred between the Gnawers and the Humans/Fliers, I find it hard to believe that people would hate Ares because he let his bond who fully went over the the Gnawer’s side die. Most bond pairs would understand and perhaps even sympathise with Ares because of that. This is even supported by the scene in Gregor the Overlander where the crowd is shouting and attacking Ares not because he let Henry die, but because they thought he might be on Henry’s/Gnawer’s side. Another reason society might hate him is because, well, his bond isn’t even there like 80% of the time. But the more I think about that… like, come on. Ares is bonded to the fucking WARRIOR. Everyone else would be jealous af. Which leads me onto my final conclusion, which is that the only reason people dislike Ares is because his bond is dead. Not Henry, Gregor. Ares knew from the moment he met Gregor that this eleven-year-old kid was sentenced to death, and there was nothing he could do about it. Which is why Ares was so reluctant to bond to Gregor in the first place. This bat isolated himself and was isolated by others because for a whole year, people viewed him as if he had left two of his bonds die.
And then he fucking DIES thinking everyone hates him and his bond dies as well.
Thoughts? @tucweek
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
A missing scene I wrote from immediately after the code is broken, when Luxa tells Gregor to get some rest, because it’s silly that there’s a 50 page gap between when Ares sets Gregor down in the High Hall and when they leave to go the Plain of Tartarus where Ares and his whereabouts aren’t even mentioned. Happy Ares Appreciation Day!!!!!!

NOOOOOO I’m going through my old computer and I just found a fix-it fic from when I was T W E L V E and it is about as great as you can imagine
let us read it
For you and @lagtim3 I’ve compiled the Greatest Hits (also, the time stamp was when from I was 12, but that was when it was last opened, not when I made it. I think it’s more accurately attributed to when I was 11 and had just finished the series for the first time, not that that matters)
Here’s Gregor declaring FULL AUTONOMY OF HIS LIFE AT AGE 12 and everyone just being fine with that, also everyone (including his GRANDMA, with nothing to say other than they have a GOOD HOSPITAL because she’s OLD) being like “oh yeah let’s just move down to the underland” GOOOOOD stuff
Excellent chapter. Excellent
That shit hurted
Ok ouch wow
Luxa be like *casually gives people three (3) gold nuggets*
1. Nooo don’t look directly into the sun you’re so sexy ahaha
2. “Wow,” she whispered
WHAT
A lot to unpack here. Seeing the rats and humans in peace, good! Excellent!! Ripred giving Lizzie a hug and breaking the laws of rat physiology? Excellent!! Me DESPERATELY trying to capture Luxa and Ripred’s banter and failing miserably? EXCELLENT
Ok questionable formatting but also :’)
Okay lads I’ve taken a big old break this summer bcos super busy year and I needed it, but I’m back now and ready to like all your posts let’s go yall <3
unironically, despite being a meme song, “Mad World“ captures the essence of The Underland Chronicles so accurately it’s almost painful. look at the lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces / Worn out places, worn out faces
- in the Underland, Gregor is surrounded by people he knows and loves, but the war is raging around them. none of them are safe.
Bright and early for the daily races / Going nowhere, going nowhere
- Gregor used to be a track runner. he trained for races. now he trains for war.
Their tears are filling up their glasses / No expression, no expression
- the war is devastating on everyone. Gregor chooses to cope with it by picturing the still, emotionless knight statue, and mimicking its stony expression.
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow / No tomorrow, no tomorrow
- Gregor is traumatized by the war, all the deaths he witnessed, and he sinks into depression. he has no idea how he can go on in the Overland, his own world, where he has to hide what had happened to him.
Children waiting for the day they feel good / Happy birthday, happy birthday / Made to feel the way that every child should / Sit and listen, sit and listen
- children in the Underland are taught to fight from a very young age because of the constant threat of war, unlike in Gregor’s world where children don’t go to school to learn how to kill. Hazard’s birthday party, the most “normal” experience a child could have in the Underland, was the last time all the characters were truly happy before the war started.
Went to school and I was very nervous / No one knew me, no one knew me
- Gregor going to school after Code of Claw. he is traumatized and depressed. he doesn’t feel like anyone would understand. he doesn’t feel like he belongs there anymore, not just at school, but in the Overland.
Hello teacher, tell me what’s my lesson / Look right through me, look right through me
- lessons in school seem like nothing to him now. how can he care about math and english when people are dying all over the world? the most important teacher figure in Gregor’s life would always be Ripred, who taught him how to fight with echolocation, who always knew what he was thinking.
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad / The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
- the nightmares of falling that plagued Gregor for his whole life. those nightmares are far better than dreaming of war or his friends dying.
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take / When people run in circles it’s a very very
- Gregor realizing Luxa and Ripred would have been perfectly fine with going back to war despite everyone they’ve lost, despite all the deaths and destruction. it’s an endless cycle of hatred and hurt, fighting and killing, and it doesn’t just happen in the Underland. it’s happening here, too, in the Overland, people suffering, starving, fleeing, killing one another as they waged their wars–
Mad world
Mad world
Well, folks, the Underland Chronicles Fandom Week of 2019 is officially over!
From animations to memes to playlists to poetry, we had a strong variety of various art forms this year! Last year's event had twenty-four submissions; this year’s event had at least* fifty-one. You read that right, we more than doubled our entry total from last year!
HUGE kudos and thanks to everyone involved. From planning to spreading the word to actually releasing content, this event couldn’t have been a success without your help. Extra-special shoutout to @crazydecepticonfan @ethmaron & @perfectbisexualflower for being the only blogs to produce a piece of work for every single day of the event!
Keep an eye out next spring for information about TUC Week 2020— perhaps we can double the previous year’s entry total again!
*as the information for this post was compiled, a few unreblogged submissions were found. If your submission hasn’t been showcased here yet, PLEASE message this blog!
things i think people forget about the underland chronicles
regalia has suburbs
grace (gregors mom) has been to the fount
ripred tried to take over the fount with lobsters (were they big or normal sized? i need to know)
the underlanders probably have a religion of some kind (we see them giving funeral rites in the fifth book)
in the fifth book all the patients in the hospital were killed in the rat attack
ripred once called vikus luxa's grandpapa i would argue that this is the most important one on the list
gregor snapped a sword with his bare hands
add more if you guys can remember anything else
RATS CAN GET DRUNK RATS CAN GET DRUNK HOW DID I FORGET
- Every single council member died during Code of Claw
