Hello! I was wanting to get into Deltora Quest but I’m not exactly sure where to start. I’m not sure which is the “first book” to start with so I was wondering which one it was, it looks like an interesting series!!
hey!! how exciting 👀
the first book is The Forests of Silence. you'll see it by the golden warrior on the front.
Tumblr media
Book order for Deltora Quest 1:
1. The Forests of Silence 2. The Lake of Tears 3. City of the Rats 4. The Shifting Sands 5. Dread Mountain 6. The Maze of the Beast 7. The Valley of the Lost 8. Return to Del
if you find physical copies at the library or whatever, the spines have corresponding number of gems for each book which is pretty neat imo! anyway they're succinct and fast paced so it's pretty easy to breeze through them
if you (or anyone else interested) like it enough to keep going, i thought i'd do the other book orders too hahah
Deltora Quest 2
1. Cavern of the Fear 2. The Isle of Illusion 3. The Shadowlands
Deltora Quest 3 (my beloved 💖💖💖💖)
1. Dragon's Nest 2. Shadowgate 3. Isle of the Dead 4. The Sister of the South
highlyyyyyyy recommend good books i love them they got me into reading chefs kiss kiss kiss

Blorbo and scrimblo bimblo?
blorbo (favourite character, character I think about the most)
lindal of course hahahha
there is also sholto "so breakfast's off??" of southwall (the three doors) who is my next beloved :')) and allun the baker (rowan of rin) because his character resonates with my own biracial experience
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
this might be because we made a whole joke of him being everywhere on discord, but tom <3
on this note, it's because i love the idea that you could be anywhere and he would just be there trying to con you into paying more than you should. that he might have something you desperately need but he'd only give it to you if you performed a certain errand for him or something. he'd be a real bastard lmaoo
but also i love his actual character so much. i think he's interesting and i love that rodda wrote him in. i love that tom is just some guy who cares about money. that the way she wrote him as "it's all about business" through his symmetrical name. that his name is the same flipped and it's the same as seen in a mirror. same inside and outside his shop. same face to a friend and same face to an enemy. but also that he has a small light glimmering in the depths, and while he claims to be a "poor shopkeeper" and "does not take sides", he still has a conscious tucked carefully away in a safe place to be revisited

No questions, just wanna say I love your blog! It’s so nice to find some love for a series I loved so much, that never really seem to get much attention 🧡 I was planning on doing a re- read of DQ 1-3 and Roman of Rin this year, and in large part because of how affectionately you talk about them I’m going to read 3 Doors and Star of Deltora too. Hope you have a good week and stay safe!
Tumblr media
omgggg <333 thank you
i simply think they deserve attention 😌���
glad that you're having fun and i hope you get some serotonin!!

glup shitto and poor little meow meow?
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
i wouldn't call him "obscure" but i think im gonna have to go with filli because everytime he does something im like !!! hell yeah you go lil man !!!! and they live in my head rent free..
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
it's so funny and a bit weird to call him a "poor little meow meow" but my problematic fav is laughing jack. literally a snake bastard. evil. deserved everything he got. i love the whole gant sibling thing so much ;-; and he IS evil and i DO love him but i also hate him because he's awful and i would kick him in the gut for verity

Here I go with some ship asks! (Sorry in advance for some of these)
Lief x Jasmine (obviously)
Lief x Dain
Jared x Endon
Barda x Lindal
Glock x Neridah
Filli x Kree
Tira x Reece
Doran x Any dragon
Glus x The Hive (???)
Sharn x Prandine
Shadow Lord x Lief
Gorl x Nobody because he ain't got nobody
aklsjdf sorry for taking so long life got hectic all of a sudden
anyway ship bingo (based on this post) under the cut:
Tumblr media
literally my first otp i ever shipped. i love the slowburn and development of their relationship both romantically and non-romantically.
Tumblr media
if it was human dain au then,,, maybe. but idk. i guess it was one of my first reading experiences of a betrayal that little me has always harboured a dislike for dain, so it's hard to ship him with lief for me. i suppose i've also never saw them interact together and thought "what if...?"
Tumblr media
so i do love them very much. im very soft for their relationship, platonically or romantically. i think it can work as like a crush when you're young, but as they get older it does get Awkward when you ship lief x jasmine
Tumblr media
T H E M
words cannot express how much i love these two
Tumblr media
hahaha okay listen. i dont see how they could work in any shape or form but also im loving the image of them just annoying the hell out of each other. mAyBe they could partner up and annoy people together perhaps but idk. 
Tumblr media
askdjfAKDH okay putting aside that these are animals of different species, i see them as part of a family so no way can i see any romance alksdfhj im down for platonic chaos but that’s about it 
Tumblr media
reece seems too old and too much of an abuser for this to even sit right with me alksdjfh
Tumblr media
romantically, hard no. but i am very soft for doran’s connection and love and dedication with the dragons and it’s a mood
Tumblr media
lmaooo how’d you come up with this one?? anyway hard pass on this one but also they are very interesting and i am sorta intrigued to see how they would interact, especially as gem guardians who aren’t really evil, just vibing. in saying that, theyre not going to cope in the other’s environment i think 
Tumblr media
noooo get it out of here alksjdf although now im thinking about sharn drop-kicking prandine into superhell and that’s an entertaining thought
Tumblr media
okay im usually soft for the enemies to lovers trope but this doesn’t fit that lmao the shadow lord is an evil malevolent consciousness harbouring vengeance. lief doesn’t deserve that. on a more blunt technical note, they dont have the kind of tension to make it work askjldfh. i mean it’s tense when they interact, but it’s like High Anxiety not an oooooh imma duel you and then accidentally let you get away so we can fight again
Tumblr media
aALKSDJFJLMAO honestly i looked at this with a blank stare. i didnt know what to circle, so was just going with conflicted. and then “it’s cute but missing that special something” was just a joke because it’s like,,, only part of a ship. and then digging the vibes of he’s got nobody with him but he’s also got no body with him. and then i did that self deprecating laugh and was like yeah i can project onto being alone asdfKAJHDF

I have no idea how the Ra Kasharz did it, honestly. An entire city obeying quarantine rules? Irrealistic, blocked.
laksjdfh right??? 
i suppose they had hundreds of years to deeply inset fear amongst their people and did some *jazz hands* saying YOU’RE ALL CURSED FOR WRONG DOING AND BLACK MAGIC and the Hirans were like :O and immediately did everything the Ra-Kacharz said

Plum, fulvous and coral for the ask thing!!
A food you’ve never tried
laksksdfjh i had to do some googling to even figure out what i hadn’t eaten and might desire and honestly i got really distracted by this food bucketlist site of “souvlaki in Athens” and getting real hungry for it, and then it hit me that i don’t think i’ve actually ever had a burrito? that’s so wild.
Tumblr media
look at that,,,,,, im hungry 
Another name you think would suit you
Grass of Bushtown
alksjdfh im kidding. i’m not sure. i’m quite fond of unisex names and short names, but also like long, musical names? like i love names like Sam, Blake and Charlie, but also uh, fantasical names (i can’t think of anything right now)
An animal you wish hadn’t gone extinct
idk im currently thinking about the swimming dinosaurs? like the Plesiosauria:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i can’t find the post right now but i think i saw someone who drew the parallels between these types of skeletons and penguins, and then there was a little illustration of the dinosaur with more fat and it was like this big penguin just vibing in prehistoric times,,

Lief as bender?
Here’s Lief as a fire bender and an Asian-inspired Fidelis :D
Tumblr media
i was meaning to do a fire bender for my roddaverse atla AU, but I couldn’t think of anyone really tangible the way that Jasmine’s senses fit seismic bending, Zeel literally flies around on a kite, and Verity had a relationship with the sea. i thought about Lief as a fire bender because he’s a blacksmith, but then i wondered if he should be a metal bender? i couldn’t choose, and i really didn’t want to just make him the avatar to have both.
but then i realised
Tumblr media
like it didn’t have to, but now it’s justified!

I'm curious about your ocs!! Maybe 48, 78 and 92?👀
hmmmmmm i think i will do the unnamed Jalis from my concept art, because he’s my favourite i think
Tumblr media
(tap for slightly better quality hahah)
48. Do they have any tattoos? What are the stories behind those tattoos?
hmmm i haven’t considered this. i want to say yes. and it’s definitely one of those crappy thought-it-was-a-good-idea-at-the-time tattoos. like he was drunk with his mates and they were like leT’S GET MATCHING TATTOOS and his lil squad did a dodgy job of things they thought were cool on each other. they’d probably be beasts like dragons and boars and bulls and stuff--wAIT MAYBE AS LIKE A SORT OF RITE OF PASSAGE, JALIS YOUTH HAVE TO HUNT SOMETHING AND THEN THAT’S THEIR SIGIL OR SOMETHING?? I WAS THINKING THAT THEY HAD SIGILS ON THEIR HELMETS, BUT MR JALIS HERE IS DEF A DRUNK DUMBASS AND HE WOULD DEFINITELY GET A REAL SHAKY LINE OF SOMETHING. IM TORN BETWEEN SOMETHING MAJESTIC AND SOMETHING STUPID. hmmmmmm. oKAY OKAY OKAY THEY GIVE HIM A PROFILE OF A BULL WITH A CUTE LIL FLOWER TUCKED BEHIND ITS EAR
78. Who do they consider to be their best friend?
LISTEN
LOOK AT THIS FROM FORMAL ATTIRE:
Tumblr media
DO I NEED TO SAY MORE??
IDK HOW BUT HE’S BEST FRIENDS WITH THE DREAD GNOME IN MY CONCEPT ART 
maybe they saved each other during the Battle for Deltora? seems likely
and like, i used a whole page to draw their dynamic a while ago so i guess it’s time to share!!
Tumblr media
(tap to read i guess?)
92. Describe them as a John Mulaney gif.
Tumblr media
this prob sums up his personality ^^^^
a sort of resigned air of “fine, i’ll do it” (when he’s not drunk, in which it’ll be like HELL YEAH WATCH ME, but i guess that’s why he’s so resigned. he knows his track record. he knows he’d do it if he were drunk.)
also, bonus:
Tumblr media
this is how he would describe Dread Gnome to his friends, while she’s standing right there. she’s ready to riot. she’s gonna dECK HIM--
