First inktober pieces that were made my a Efteling prompt list by Ridderspoor on instagram 💖🫶🏻

Trying hard to finish the list haha ✨

[yourlocaleftelinghoe]

SOOOOO- I decided to humanize the 5 realms (or "Rijken" in dutch) of the Efteling. These are areas in the park where some attractions are placed. They're basically that typical friend group in cartoons or 90s shows.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Fantasierijk: the leader

Every friend group needs a great leader, am i right? Well, say no more!

Fantasierijk, or in english, Fantasy Realm, is the leader of the Realm Friend Group. She is the purple area on the Efteling park map. She takes her job as Efteling's assistent VERY seriously. Fantasierijk would often boss the other Realms around to make the park look as perfect as possible, even though she is sometimes lazy herself.

Despite all of this, she IS in fact, a strict leader like figure, but she means well. Fantasierijk is pansexual.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Marerijk: the grump

Marerijk, or in english "Lore Realm", is the green area on the Efteling park map. He is the only male friend in the Realm Friend Group. Marerijk takes the appearance of a well kept, goodlooking DILF elf. But don't let that fool you, because Marerijk is a massive grump with often a short fuse and can lash out to others, especially Fantasierijk who comes up with her bossy attitude.

Another fact about Marerijk is that hes a great fighter. He's bisexual.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Ruigrijk: the lady knight

Ruigrijk, or in english, "Rough Realm", is the strongest of the bunch. She is the red colored area on the Efteling park map. This so-called "dumb blonde" by her past bullies, is now the bravest, strongest and greatest of them all now. Born as a total tomboy and daddy's girl, she always wanted to be like her father, who was a great knight at the time. When her father suddenly dissapeared one faithful day, teenage Ruigrijk promised him and herself that she would be just like him and take over his job as the most greatest and strongest knight ever.

It was not easy for young teenage Ruigrijk to be that great just like her father. She needed to survive knight school with her bullies. After many school years, she finally managed the sword hands and graduated. The scar on her eye? She got that from her bully's sword in a duel back in school. Ruigrijk is Omnisexual but has a preference for men.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Anderrijk: the sassy aunt

Anderrijk or in english, "Other Realm", is the second oldest of the group. She is the blue area on the Efteling park map. Anderrijk is the so-called sassy aunt figure of the bunch. She is a great backup amongst the others ans is actually quite powerful.

Anderrijk is sassy, protective if needed. She also has that typical motherly figure to everyone and will tell off Fantasierijk if shes too bossy again. This mostly will lead fights between the 2, to the point if they fly fists to each other, Marerijk and Ruigrijk have to separate them from each other quickly if the fight is going waaay out of hand. Anderrijk is a lesbian and is currently dating no one.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Reizenrijk: the tomboy

Reizenrijk, in english "Travel Realm", is the yellow area on the Efteling park map. She is, you guessed it, the tomboy of the group. Reizenrijk is the youngest of the 5 and idolizes Ruigrijk pretty much everyday. Shes also the best mechanic Efteling ever wished for. Reizenrijk also made her own plane and helicopter, as seen in the image.

Reizenrijk always admired mechanics for fixing things and inventors for their "cool" inventions, so she became both. She also admires Ruigrijk for her bravery and strength. Ruigrijk is Reizenrijk's mentor, training the young tomboy to be as strong as her. Reizenrijk is heterosexual ally aromantic and is dating no one.

So, this is my Efteling shrine:

Yes, I turned the cork board in my student accommodation room in Scotland into a shrine for a Dutch theme park, despite not being Dutch. No, I don’t know why I get weird looks either.

Those realm labels were drawn via Sharpies and grit. It took a lot longer than it should have. Here's a closer view of them:

I am far from an artist, but I did my best. Sharpies are unwieldy ok. I also put little references to each realm in them. If anyone out there is interested:

Fantasierijk: Het Huis van de Vijf Zintuigen as the ‘A’, twinkle torch from Symbolica and Pardoes lore in general.

Reizenrijk: red nose from Carnaval Festival, little bird for Vogel Rok, and the Pagode from… Pagode.

Anderrijk: squirrel for Fabula, bat for the new spooky area with Danse Macabre (as well as a little tribute to Spookslot (RIP)), and a Dios Gárgola statue for Piraña.

Marerijk: fairy for Droomvlucht, mushroom and vine for the Sprookjesbos.

Ruigrijk: little snake for Python, pirate ship for De Vliegende Hollander.

(There's also the little 'RIP' one for the closed attractions (that I have an attachment to, I'm aware there's loads more). It has a little tombstone on it. I never took a close picture of it, so...)

All with the corresponding realm colour, of course.

The lights around the outside are turtles. I say it’s a tribute to Pandadroom, but… honestly I just like turtles. It’s titled with ‘Koester je fantasie, de bron van alle magie’, or ‘Cherish your imagination, the source of all magic’ (...I think. My Dutch is very basic, I did my best), taken from Pardoes' line in Symbolica. Cause it’s basically my favourite quote of all time.

The photos are a mixture of ones I pulled from the internet and ones I took myself, hence the awkward face censors on a few. Don't particularly want to put myself and my family's faces on Tumblr, heh.

I figure hey, if I can’t share my little shrine to my favourite place on earth no one around me has heard of on my own Tumblr, where can I, eh? This isn’t even the first iteration; I had one last year, too.

This one actually had to come down a few weeks ago - I’m graduating. The real tragedy of leaving university is no longer having a cork board to build a shrine on. But hey, I'm meant to be moving to Leiden for my Masters next year, so then I'll get to live Efteling more than once a year. I'll take actual Efteling over a shrine any day.
