It is given to the Badger Lords of Salamandastron to see a great many things - those that are, and those that were, and those that yet will be.

Okay, so this needs some backstory, but I WILL EXPLAIN.
When I was a kid, one of the few books from the real world that I was allowed to read was the Redwall series. And I fell madly in love, of course. I loved the three series that were made, as well, and then this song when it came out. Me and my best friends just adored it with all our hearts and quote it constantly to this day.
The creator’s account was disabled due to some drama or the other, and it was lost forever. Or so I thought. I decided that nothing can disappear from the internet, and certainly not gold like this, and went looking for it today. I found it.
Welcome, Tumblr, to my childhood. 😍 This is my end of year gift to you, please treat it with love and kindness.
So last night Best Beloved and I were discussing the Redwall series, and I had a very odd little plotbunny (plotferret, perhaps?), which I don’t think I want to write, but I do kind of wish existed:
What if Romsca survived long enough to be brought back to Redwall with the Abbot and his rescuers, and was nursed back to health there - probably by Martin II, because someone has to keep an eye on her in case she goes evil again, right? - and during her convalescence the Dibbuns decide she’s the best thing since strawberries because she has the best (rather bowdlerised) stories and will teach them to tie really cool knots, and then she and Martin II end up sort of accidentally spending a lot of time together and becoming friends and then more than friends...
And this is, of course, why the Matthias - Mattimeo - Martin II line stops there, because Martin II and Romsca raise a lot of Dibbuns but none of them are genetically theirs.
REDWALL!! (?)
Bravery, good food, blood curling violence, cottagecore and very black and white morals but also very wholesome and i would not like to live there.
Honestly Brian Jacques wrote my favourite books ever, there's something so immersive in them. But the creepiest thing ever is still that one human-sized horse carriage in Redwall, this one:
And, i always imagined the animals to be the size they normally are in nature -- why mouse warriors are so rare, because tiny deadly?! So why is there a horse and a carriage that screams of humans even if they never turn up again as far as i remember (although i had access to like 10 translated ones and then read 4/5 in english later on)???? Or do they turn up later on?
How much wholesome horror does that include? Whats up with the worldbuilding????

Day 22! Prompt is “one character is secretly writing about another.” Gonff learns something about Martin’s past, and rather regrets doing so. Angst warning.

A while ago I really wanted to find a comprehensive list of Redwall foods. So I made one. Hope this helps someone, someday!
