My FanArt of Luxa from Gregor the Overlander saga was one of (if not THE one) my first art posts (still visible on Pinterest and Google even if I lost my old Tumblr account - yikes!) After years I was finally able to make a whole project about this wonderful saga and I decided to come back to Tumblr and post it here: thank you for inspiring me in those old days 💜 I did a whole "training project" for a dream Graphic Novel: if you enjoy it, share and comment this post 🙏 •► The project: https://tanadellatarma.it/gregortheoverlander/ Fly you hight & run like the river 🦇

Suzanne Collins, manufacturing fake dating scenarios since 2006

post-canon (CoC) Gregor and Boots, somewhere in Virginia.

May try to paint the whole family in a similar scene someday (because landscape background practice.. which i hate)

The first of my 60min little paintings that actually took axactly 60min (!), even though the background had to suffer when i decided to add the tiny figures :p

When I was a kid I wrote like 3 emails to Suzanne Collins after I finished the underland chronicles because I was SO SAD I couldn't comprehend that Gregor and luxa couldn't stay together.

Also that scratch code letter? I translated that as a kid myself and almost cried about it!

Gregor really didn't need POB ffs

dialogue: Ares: We are going to have to dispose of this one, Gregor (referring to baby bane)

Gregor: CHILL, Batman. Geez, I'm not gonna kill an actual baby.

Ares: PUSSY

Gregor: N O

vaguely referencing Venom and Eddie (human does not feel comfortable with murder and their huge beefy black entity with sharp teeth takes great offense to being kept on a leash.)

I might have seen this said before, on a different post, but I couldn't find it, so I'm just gonna say a few words on this, partially because of that and partially because it's been ages since I've last read the series, despite it being ingrained into my head.

Almost all of the characters in TUC have moments where they are genuine assholes. Gregor has a few points where he says some genuinely disrespectful shit. Luxa, as well as most of the other humans (including Gregor, although arguably to a lesser extent), are deeply prejudiced against the gnawers. Ripred, is, well, Ripred (look, I love him, we all do, but he's a dick).

Even Vikus, arguably one of the nicest characters in the series, admires Sandwich (I think, been a while), a man who literally used poison to commit genocide in the name of stealing land that didn't belong to him.

The only characters I can think of in TUC that don't have flaws are the ones who also have the least lines: Aurora, Dulcet, Miravet. Oh, and all of those characters? Probably also prejudiced against gnawers, just never explicitly stated (to my knowledge), probably due to their obscene lack of lines. Of course there are characters like Lizzie and Hazard, who are literal fucking children so as nice as they are, I think it's safe to say they can't really be counted up here. (Should probably also mention that Gregor and Luxa are also children, just ones that were forced to grow up faster, sadly).

Then again, all of these characters have redeeming qualities. Gregor can be disrespectful at times, but that's mainly because of the stress placed upon him by the various bullshit situations he has to go through, and he usually apologizes after. Luxa and all the humans are deeply prejudiced (actually, I should probably add the fliers might be in that category too), but they are basically raised from birth to hate and kill gnawers, and vice versa. plus, it's shown that despite what is practically being brainwashed from birth, they can grow and change to overcome their own bigotry and accept gnawers as genuine people, as well as friends.

And yes, Ripred, the glorious bastard himself, is a dick. But he's also a war veteran who's lost his family, and most of the respect from his people, meaning he mainly works with humans, who tend to treat him with suspicion, if not outright hostility (until they get to know him). And he makes up for it by letting his guard down at times to be a father to the traumatized pups that dragged him into their pack.

Point is, flawed characters are one of the things that make TUC so great. They're not few and hid away either, they're everywhere, with visible flaws. If you want to make a good character, TUC is a great series to use as an example. Everything casts a shadow, just like every character has a flaw. If they don't, you probably just can't see them from your angle. And if they don't? Like, at all? Give them some, just make sure the shadow they cast matches up with the object itself.

A quick gregor

[thesweetnessofspring]

Gregor truly has such great parents. They've taught him how to be responsible, curious, intelligent, respectful, kind, caring, and selfless. It's what's made him the warrior in all of the prophecies, more than being a rager. Gregor doesn't really want to be a rager, except for when it comes to defending himself and others. Gregor's family is poor and don't have much, and so Gregor is giving to his sisters so that they will have enough to eat. He's constantly remembering things that his parents have told him before, whether that's practical information or how to behave. And he listens to them, remembering advice they'd given him before, and when he does, things get better. And as they are both alive, sick but alive, he is secure in knowing that he has two adults who love him in his corner.

Which makes Pearlpelt's backstory all the more tragic. He's the great white rat and as such as the potential to lead the rats, to bring peace. But he suffered at the hands of his father. He was taught violence when his father killed his littermates. He was encouraged to gorge on his mother's milk without those littermates to share with, teaching him selfishness and lacking regulation. He watched his mother and father fight to the death, reinforcing the danger of the world and leaving him without the love or guidance of his mother, who so clearly adored and loved him. Ripred and the other rats who acted as Pearlpelt's guardians were given a pup who had already been greatly scarred by his early years, lacking in regulation and attachment. It's no wonder they couldn't figure out how to handle him. And he doesn't know how to handle himself, reducing himself to sucking and biting on his tail to attempt to curb his own mounting anguish.

Gregor, warrior and rager, could have ended up as Pearlpelt did--lacking in control and unsure of who truly loves him--without his parents. And Pearlpelt, the Bane, could have ended up like Gregor--compassionate and seeking peace over violence--had his parents been more like Gregor's.

Here's a fun question for the TUC fandom?

Does anyone have a Voice Claim for Gregor?
