#peet the sockman

[raywhite28]

hey!!! so i've been at theater arts camp so i havn't drawn much digital stuff but heres the Wingfeather saga in an over the garden wall AU

obviously Janner is Wirt and Tink is Greg, I think Leeli is the frog? Because Artham is both the woodsman and Beatrice (becus Adelaide is the stone keeper and the beast is Gnag) he's trying to both; keep Esbin's soul alive with the lantern, and get the scissors to turn himself back into a human. Both at the expense of Janner, Tink and Leeli whom he learns to love and protect (cause he aint related to them in this au)

Meanwhile I'm back to taking screenshots of Peet since youtube's better for that than the Angel Studios site and oh my gosh he cannot stop SMILING while he talks to Leeli and it is SO SWEET, he looks so happy to be interacting with the kiddos finally I'm dead ;-;

he just smiles at her through their whole interaction help

This is peak advertising, right here. This image gives me so much joy! 😂

Here’s Artham on the deck of the Enramere. I guess this takes place sometime between books two and three. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of drawing Artham, but I could take or leave drawing boats…

FOUR. FOUR PEOPLE HAVE SAID PEET IS THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTER

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

“I think Artham will know what to say,” Nia says after a pause. “And if you listen well, I think he could help you. Maybe you could even help him.”

Janner turns to her, eyes wide. “Help him? Help him with what?”

A strange expression flits across his mother’s face, but before she can say anything, the hatch inside the treehouse flings open, startling both her and Janner.

“Bugs, bugs, like bugs they are,” Peet mutters, stalking over to some cupboards and messily sifting through them. “Get in your face, stick in the eye! Squash them with a hand. Too big for bugs.”

“Hello, Artham,” Nia greets, and despite the pleasant tone in her voice, Peet flinches as if he’s been struck by lightning. A plate falls to the ground, startling him even more.

“Oh,” Peet says after a moment, mismatched eyes wide and nervous. “Hello, Wingiby’s.”

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, yes.” And just like that, Peet carries on as if he’d never felt fear in his life; he swiftly snatches the felled plate off the floor, dusting it with a socked hand. “There was a blat cave—a cave blat.”

“A cave blat? Where? Is Leeli alright?”

“The cave blat is dead.” Peet hums to himself as he puts the plate away. “Under the socks is thood for one ging—good for one thing. Dead on the leaves now.”

He hums again, reaching far into the cupboard until he emerges with a knife in his hand. “Off to skin. Forthwith!”

With a dramatic gesture, Peet marches away, hopping down the hatch and towards the cave blat (which he’s apparently about to skin).

Nia watches him go, and Janner watches her, silent questions in his eyes.

Finally, he blurts out, “How do I talk to him?”

Nia turns her face to her son. “You know how to ask questions, don’t you? Do that.”

“Yeah, but…”

There’s a gentle pressure on his hand, and Janner is surprised to see that Nia’s still holding it, and in fact had never let go. “I know he’s strange to you, but trust me: he’ll know how to help. He’ll know what to tell you about being a Throne Warden.”

Janner swallows. Then nods. “Okay, mama.”

Nia squeezes his hand again. Janner tries very hard not to sigh.

Snippet from a Wingfeather Saga fanfic! Takes place between the first and second book.

[shamelessgalaxymentality]

my mom just looked at peet the sockman and went "That's the haircut I want" so my day has been interesting

[jupiterlandings]

Andrew Peterson, every other paragraph:

Artham nodded regally.

Artham sneezed handsomely.

Artham broke down wept in the most noble & beauteous way possible.

Artham was a RAVISHING VISION OF

BIRDLY CHIVALRY as he sipped his soup.

[oldfashionedbattlehymn]

yea he’s probably fine 

if andrew peterson knew how much i draw peet, he would be scared 

dont mind the sockless sock man, you may go about your day

[cyclonestudios-alt]

Peet's nicknames for Leeli are adorable “Little Iggy-Bird" “ Girlie-Feather" aahhhh it's just so adorable

[raywhite28]

the end of part two of the Warden and the Wolf King has me sobbing for real

it's not supposed to be this sad

[wings-dings-and-iggyfings]

me trying to find the motivation to get through a day like:

[kanerallels]

Finally catching up on the Wingfeather Saga tv show and not to be dramatic but every scene with Peet the Sockman in it is like a punch to the throat

[thehopeelias]

I was so excited to see more of Peet the sock man in the newest Wingfeather episode! I just had to draw him! And Leeli too of course 😝

[mozart-the-meerkitten]

Welp. I rewatched Coco so all four of them are back in my head now, all at once this time

this feels dangerous somehow

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

Thinking about Peet asking the Igiby kids “can you fly?” with such wild, reckless delight in his voice, and thinking about how disappointed he sounded when Janner replied “no.” Like that birdman was so hekkin excited by the possibility that his nephews and niece could fly. He was so excited. He was so genuinely happy.
