OK. This is not TMNT fanart. It's Redwall. >w<

Martin and Tsarmina have always been my favorite hero x villain duo in Redwall. Although they don't have much drama and events between them, their stories actually have quite a lot in common. Like two parallel lines going in the same direction. Both are leaders with some legacy before them. Both are trying to live up to their fathers' legacy. Or at least how they see it. Both have a slavery theme. Former slave and enslaver. Both are dealing with some loss that they caused. Intentionally or not. They are both almost equally monstrous. With this whole "red glitter of total war shining hot in his eyes, his teeth bared in a wild laugh" thing)) And they both come to the last point completely alone by their own decision. And both would've die there. The main difference is that Tsarmina left everyone behind so as not to risk herself. And Martin left everyone behind so as not to risk them. So there was someone left to save him. There is some beauty in their similarity. It's as if the hero is fighting more than just some villain. It’s as if he is fighting his own crooked reflection. Brings his own ending. Just like Tsarmina herself walked into the lake.

“I am that is, my sword shall wield for me!”

[oldfashionedbooklove]

The young must grow old, Whilst old ones grow older,  And cowards will shrink, As the bold grow bolder. Courage may blossom in quiet hearts, For who can tell where bravery starts? Truth is a song, oft lying unsung, Some mother bird, protecting her young, Those who lay down their lives for friends,  The echo rolls onward, it seldom ends.  Who never turned and ran, but stayed?  This is a warrior born, not made! Living in peace, aye many a season, Calm in life and sound in reason, ’Til evil arrives, a wicked horde, Driving a warrior to pick up his sword, The challenger rings then, straight and fair, Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

I literally would have KILLED for just one mention in Mossflower or Legend of Luke that Martin wore a rose on his attire somewhere, like WOULDN'T THAT BE SO SAD.

[stainlesssteellocust]

Martin was a reasonably straightforward mouse when he was alive what was it about dying that turned him into the fucking Riddler

[octoagent-ray]

not seeing enough people talking about how fucking COLD Luke the Warriors ending was.

Not like the end of the book sorry, the ending for Vilu Daskar is quite literally keeping me up at night rn. Like ik Luke was not the BEST father but thanks for one of the coolest fucking villain deaths ever

LIKE HOLY FUCK PINNED TO THE WHEEL OF YOUR SHIP BY THE SLAVE YOU BOUND TO IT AS HE DRIVES YOUR SHIP INTO ROCKS!??? BEGGING FOR YOUR LIFE AND HES ALL LIKE

"T'was a bad day for you when you killed my wife." OH MY GOD THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! AND RANGUVAR HOLDING BACK THE CREW TRYING TO KILL LUKE IS LITERALLY INSANE WHHHHAT

To be fair all the Villain deaths are so peak, it's been a while since I've read the bellmaker but I remember how insane that Villain went out

n e ways I luv redwall 😋💕

[incorrectredwallquotes]

Martin: *stubs his toe* Fuck! Rose: Language! Martin: What am I supposed to say, “woe is I”? Rose: Martin: You have to accept that swearing is necessary sometimes.

[halfnekoslair]

I'm re-reading Mossflower now. And I feel like talking about the characters and sketching them. But I'm not sure if it's worth spending time on. This fandom looks pretty dead to me. But I still love my crazy dangerous mice!
