Been rereading some old childhood favorite, particularly the books of @RobinJarvis1963. After rereading some of the Deptford Mice series, felt like doodling some of the cast- First off, the siblings Audrey and Arthur Brown.

thanks previous post now i'm thinking about deptford mice/histories/whitby witches/tales from the wyrd museum

apparently the american versions of the books didn't have the illustrations? they were the best bit?

this book is for kids!

what if corn was cursed and u were a field mouse?

actually the best doomed romance was between a bat and a squirrel to stop all out war between their species also I THINK tHERE ARE TOO MANY HANDS ON THIS COVER ROBIN

listen i just like that he put some of his own books in the background of this picture, o robin u scamp, also doing dark magic in a bookshop is cool

back to deptford mice, yes this rat has a peeler strapped to his stump, its so he can better peel mice, innovative king

a teddy bear possessed by the spirit of an American pilot fleeing through london during the Blitz, pursued by a giant stag beetle demon with hitler's face

The Jockey stepped forward. "And what of me, my Lord?" he asked humbly.

The Ismus smiled indulgently. "Of course. Take yourself away to the Great Hall and enter the furtherance with the rest of the Court there. You have behaved yourself well this night, my caramel-coloure jackanapes. I thank you for that. Go and find your deserved reward- and take Posy here with you. I'm sure she is also anxious to read Fighting Pax."

~ Forty-Eight pages Later ~

"No trick, no game," The Jockey promised, holding up his hands. "Not against you, not this time."

"You'd say that anyway! Stay still! I mean it, I'll use this if you take another step. Why aren't you off reading Fighting Pax? Or have you finished it already?"

The Jockey gazed beyond Martin, towards the glorious spectacle of the Dawn Prince. He ached to go and worship Him. But first of all...

"One last naughtiness, Martin," he explained. "The Jockey must ride everyone of the Court, including the Ismus. That is why I am here, that is why I sent Nosy Posy to the Great Hall alone. I must pay one final trick on the Holy Enchanter before I leave this dreary place for good."

Martin didn't understand.

"'Tis the way I am," the Jockey said simply. "'Tis the part I play. I can be no otherwise. I am tasked to hinder and needle, thwart, upset and confound and now, at the very brink of the Ismus's triumph, I am compelled to meddle."

Adding some other worlds that are favorites of mine...

Redwall: 60% agrarian bliss, 40% siege warfare. No, but at least you can drink you sorrows away.

The Boiling Isles: fine after the fascist state falls, before that it's an actual nightmare, and its also a place where the weather can kill you. No, with conditions.

Animorphs: dial up modems and body horror, also a proxy war between space gods. No.

Gahoole: too many child soldiers. No.

The Old Kingdom: Child soldiers AND Zombies, hell no.

Deptford mice: FUCK NO!

(via The Dark Portal by Robin Jarvis)

While The Dark Portal by Robin Jarvis is categorised as a children’s novel, its appeal extends to adults as well. (In fact, some readers argue that its highly eerie elements might not be suitable for young children.) The narrative leads you on an exhilarating journey into the animal realm, especially the world of mice and rats. This novel serves as the inaugural part of The Deptford Mice Trilogy. A community of anthropomorphic mice lives contentedly within an old building in the London borough of Deptford. They revel in their distinctive lifestyle, replete with customs, festivities, and even a deity. Their sole dread is ‘The Grille,’ the entrance to a menacing labyrinth of sewage tunnels beneath, the domain of large rats capable of devouring them. It also houses the altar of ‘Jupiter,’ the formidable Lord of the rats. One day, the mouse Albert crosses The Grille by mistake, setting off a sequence of gripping events. This includes the mysterious disappearance of his daughter, Audrey, into the sewers, prompting other mice to venture into the treacherous territory in search of her. The depictions are vivid, and I could almost envisage the scenes as if they were part of an animated film. I believe a cinematic adaptation of this tale would be seamless and straightforward. A diverse array of mouse and rat characters, each with their distinctive traits, populate the story. Oswald, the albino mouse; Piccadilly, the independent soul; Madame Akkikuyu, the fortune-teller rat; Skinner, whose stump of an arm sports a mouse-peeler; and One-eyed Jake are just a few examples. The story encompasses various types of mice. Besides city mice and field mice, there is also a seafarer midshipmouse called Thomas... (Read full text on booksperience.org)

I re-read the Deptford Mice/Deptford Histories and i have FEELINGS

[theforbiddentower]

"My glance has oft been your shadow ere today," he said as he paced warily from side to side. "Your hands are coarse as an ox's tongue and your smudges and smuts rival only the mudden-man. And yet... I have observed you long and I am enamoured and enslaved by you. The dirtier you are, the more like a queen you appear. A celestial goddess, come down amongst us, disguised in rags and ashes. My lord, the Ismus, would bring you to his bed only if you were soaped and scrubbed by the tiring women til you shone like a shield. But I... I would have you as you are, all grimy from your base toil, with mutton grease and straw in your hair, soot etched in every cranny and aglow with sweat that smells of pepper and freshly sliced onions. I would tongue-bathe every inch of your fire-bronzed skin, baste you with the juices of my mouth and rip those rags from your shoulders and hips, as you have torn the feathers from that goose. You are a banquet I intend to gorge on and my appetite will never be sated."
