Headcanon that the Mark rabbits in Efrafa have a running joke about "who authorized this??" in regards to totally random things outside of anyone's control.
Like "I can't believe it's raining without the Council's permission, who authorized this?" or "Wtf I have a headache for no reason? Who authorized this??"
Sort of as a way to riff on the culture of overly-strict rules without saying anything directly seditious.
Like this piece of dandelion, the three of them also appear to be fighting for a brain cell.

Trans ftm Woundwort? 👀
FASCINATING i have never heard of this one...
Lmk if you wanted a film or miniseries version!
Some rarepair/crackships I offer to the watership down 1999 fandom
Cowslip x aspen
Aspen x woundwort
Cowslip x woundwort
Bark x fiver
Moss x aspen
Strawberry x aspen
Pipkin x his sheep friend in that one ep
Keehar x hannah
Thoughts? 🤔
Aww Aspen can do better than Cs or Ww!! 😭 They would not treat him right 😭😭 (maybe ironic considering i like him and vervain, but crucially i think verv is more likely to change)
I think Woundwort would kill cowslip sorry. But it would be funny
Tbh I prefer bark and fiver as friends, but their friendship is super cute so.,. solid crackship i'd say!
I could get behind Aspen x anyone who treats him right, so these next two could work. It's such a pity we don't see more of aspen 😭 Tbh him and strawberry would be cute they are both sweetiepies
I don't remember the sheep well enough to say anything asghjkl
Kehaar and Hannah are forever bros to me but do what u want
Lil man is THE BOMB BOM 💣 ✨️
Campion: Vervain! Have you no dignity? Vervain: Of course not! How long have we known each other?
chonky boyyyyy
Handsome boyyyyyyy
campion 1999 my beloved i have to hurt and kill him so much
That fucking rabbit from that show
hmm i'm curious...what are your wsd ships besides hyzenthlayli?
GOD leave it to me to completely forget about an ask after deciding to answer it in detail later 😔 so sorry for the delay rook!!! but thank you for giving me a chance to rant about. the bunys
anyhow OHOHOHOHOOHO!!!!!!
well for starters i DO very much appreciate thlayzel + the hyzenthlayzel poly ship w all 3 of them it's such a classic and it always works!!! <3
besides that i also really like pairing up blackberry with either fiver (they both think in pretty unconventional ways for rabbits) or dandelion (really great friends + ran from the dog together) when it comes to bookverse, they're really neat i can just see it... nerd4nerd in both cases. and again, you can even make them poly and achieve the truest shipping form. ALSO you really sold me on hyzenettle, they are so messed up i think about an au where hyzenthlay takes nettle back every single day!!! coming back to bookverse... nildro-hain and strawberry. they plague me. what was their relationship like... how did they end up together ... did they find a sense of comfort in each other ... any version works but it's even neater with tfem strawberry :]]c this is more of a crackship but i like to imagine miniseries strawberry and cartoon blackberry together purely for the fun of it too. the berries <3
Omg hyzenthlayzel is such a better ship name for the poly ship than hazenthlayli, it's much easier to tell apart from other ships! those 3...peak dynamic ough...
I'd never considered blackberry and fiver but they really would be nerd4nerd lol. i could get behind blackberry/dandelion. (though tbh i think of bookverse blackberry as aroace like 90% of the time asdfghjkl)
yayyy I've got someone into hyzenettle!! my fav doomed yuri rarepair <3
NILDRO-HAIN AND STRAWBERRY CRYING FOREVER!!! they deserve 2 be happy it's so fucked up what happened...
Yeah the doe berryberry crackship is cute <3 they are so smart and cute and I KNOW they would be besties!!
ANyway it's fun to hear your opinions!! have you seen the 1999 show yet?
oo not yet but i just Know it'll make me even more insane. i'm really curious about primrose and blackberry and campion!!! individually but also their relationships too!! they gave campion A Lot to work with within this series it is so awesome i'm glad his character has been expanded like that. I'LL GET MY HANDS ON IT SOMEDAY
PLS WATCH 🙏🙏🙏 ITS CRAZY TRUST
they got campion doing all that. and vervain. and spartina in s3. and hannah the mouse. and silverweed. and need i even mention campion's crazy situationship pentagon or whatever
Honestly it doesn't have all that much to do with the book but it's soooo fun as its own thing
It's free on youtube (pretty sure it's still up on there?) and on the WSD archive (I can send a link if u need it)

Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.
Some baby lint behaviors
I’m returning to the topic of Bigwig’s characterization in the adaptations, noting that portraying him as being misogynic is even stranger if you recall that dialogue in the first book where Bigwig proudly recounts how his mother once fought with a cat and left it with several scars. After all, wouldn’t he know better than anyone that does are tough too?
Another thing someone made me realize is that in the graphic novel, Bigwig is portrayed as much more serious and stoic than he actually was. Like, he’s always scowling and rarely shows any other expression, whereas in the novel he was a loud, somewhat good-natured, and to some extent arrogant guy—he liked to crack jokes every now and then and listen to stories too!
Btw, now I find it kind of ironic that Miniseries Bigwig is the only one who at least doesn’t come across as openly sexist toward any of the female rabbits, and in that regard, it’s probably the only thing that remains true to his character.
So:
Miniseries Bigwig: 1
TV Series Bigwig: 0
