anyway tagg shouldve been allowed to keep the name he was raised with and its not because the juska were just so nice to him, its because thats his goddamn name and his identity was forcibly stripped away by the redwallers and it fucjing should not have been. the core of the book is tagg escaping people who try to define him and trying to find Himself. and its completely undermined by the ending because he ends up with people who define him. k thanx baiiii

all I can think about today is how bad I wanna see a sequel to Taggerung where he's older and him and Nimbalo work out their traumas together and unwittingly fall in love and also along the way there's an insane amount of violence because it's a Redwall story

I blame @mole-supremacy for this.

Deyna sat alone. Hidden in a corner. Wearing a name that doesn't seem to fit and a face he doesn't recognize. He couldn't let the others think he MISSED being a juska. He couldn't! But to wake up so different.... they didn't even ask him. Ask is he wanted the tattoos gone, ask if he wanted his birthmark gone, ask if he wanted to keep the name Tagg. They just decided for him. So caught up in his thoughts, he failed to see Mhera walk up to him, and sit down beside him.

"What's wrong?"

Her voice cut through his brain fog and he tried to force a smile.

"Nothing at all! It's fine! Juat getting used to Redwall!"

But Mhera was wise beyond her years. More so than most of the Abbey.

"You are not. Something is wrong."

Reaching over, she gently turned his formerly marked pawpad.

"They shouldn't have covered it."

And hearing that from somebeast else, made Deyna start crying.

"They didn't ask. Why didn't they ask?"

Patting her much bigger brother's back Mhera tried to comfort him.

"I don't know. I really don't know."

After a good sob, Denya pushed himself back.

"Sorry, I'm trying but...."

"But not even your name feels like yours. Everyone expects you to come back and be Deyna. As if you were never Tagg."

His silence told her she hit the nail on the head. She took his other paw into her hand alongside the one she already had.

"I can't give you back your birthmark. Or your tattoos. I don't know how to do that. But I can do this. I know about my baby brother Deyna, could you tell me about my younger brother Tagg?"

Tagg smiled, a genuine one for the first time since he got there.

"Well, despite being in a Juska Clan, I was cared for very well....."

The big otter hung his head in despair. “None of this would’ve happened if I hadn’t come here!”

The harvest mouse cast an eye to their prisoner. “Yer wrong, mate, you mean none o’ this would’ve ‘appened ifn that scum an’ ’is vermin ‘adn’t come ‘ere. You can’t blame yoreself. Wrong ‘uns is wrong ‘uns wherever they goes. Huh, they would’ve only brought sufferin’ on some other pore beasts.”

—Brian Jacques, Taggerung

I got the 25th celebration river otter build-a-bear because of course I did and named him Tagg because of course I did and he’s got a little argyle sweater because he deserves to be comfy after all the other shit he’s been through

sawney rath calls tagg 'son' as a way to assert power, not out of any kind of familial fondness or paternal feelings. he calls tagg son to remind the juska that he is the one who trained the taggerung, he is the one who the taggerung looks to. hes not taggs father and tagg doesn't consider him a parental figure. its explicitly stated. family isnt taggs motivation, or sawney's approval- predicated on tagg's compliance- would have mattered more.

edit: familial love/approval also doesnt matter to tagg or he wouldve cared more about sawneys approval

This is one of my favorites, I think. I love Dayna and Mehra a lot. But who can't help but love the otters, lets be honest. Utterly enjoyable with lots of adventures and friendship and found family to warm the heart. So much fun and a great read.

Tagg: I'll be fine in prison. Nothing kills me. I'm immune to 179 different types of poison. I know because I ingested them all at once when I was deep undercover in an underground poison-ingesting crime ring. Nimbalo: You might find this odd, but that is not the least bit reassuring.
