Suzanne Collins will never know the way The Underland Chronicles physically altered my brain chemistry as a 10 year old

[tangents-within-tangents]

Just some things I think deserve a super accurate movie/show adaption in a beautiful 2D animation style:

The How to Train Your Dragon series

Gregor the Overlander

Artemis Fowl

The Adventure Zone

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (fr so much was left out of the 1939 film!)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

The actual Little Mermaid story (there are a ton of adaptations I haven't seen yet so maybe it exists somewhere but we all know Disney’s didn’t even come close)

Gregor absolutely would've learned how to bat-surf on Ares

[cutter-kirby]

okay marethposting time i really like how an established character trait of his is that he is TERRIBLE at taking care of himself. like he refuses to get on a stretcher after gregor's escape attempt (he was bleeding profusely from his forehead at the time), instead trying to help andromeda. then later he offers to be the distraction for the spinner prison break before solovet shuts him down because she JUST stitched up his bleeding thigh wound. and THEN he tries to prepare food but solovet makes him prop up his injured leg. this guy has no self preservation and i love him for it

putting our two favorite Giant Bug Media together, for our health. gregor and boots are a lot farther from home than usual...

the underland chronicles fanart? the underland chronicles fanart!

[hacknineirl]

any gregor the overlander enjoyers in the chat? anyways, i made a humanish au of ares! i might do aurora or ripred next. i have some ideas for them :3c i dont recall what the underlanders were wearing, bc gregor was like "their clothes are weird" and then thats it. but i feel like their clothes would be old timey. and yes, i know the underlanders have silver hair. but silver hair on ares felt wrong. hes always had black hair in my mind

Now that the Hunger Games are trending, I would love if people started reading Suzanne Collins other books series, The Overland Chronicles

Because they are so good, intense, and insane. And I feel like people don't give it as much love as they deserve. It has so much death and suffering for a 5 book arc with the protagonist not becoming older than 13, I believe.

Like oh let me just foretell the mass death of a race thur a childrens rhythm

Recently reread the Underland Chronicles so I decided to dig through and find the old fanart I did when I first read the series like 11 years ago (wow i’m old) so please enjoy

Featuring my Mark Crilley manga phase, my terrible handwriting lol, ✨copic markers✨, random details I latched on to for some reason, FEELs wtf bro, and me somehow missing the fact that Luxa got a haircut in book one, and spoilers (fr go read these books if you haven't they are so good)

Luxa and Henry (and questionable armor choices??)

The weave texture was meant to show that their clothes are made of spider silk (Idk what the random thigh pouch is supposed to be tho)

Hamnet and Hazard (and long arms so they can hold hands lol)

Queen Luxa

Yeah 13 year old me really latched on to Luxa and tried to make her my personality lolll

And for some reason the fish-shape crystal thing really stood out to me I guess

And the turtle trapdoor, I remembered that bit specifically during my reread bc I pictured this drawing I did of it. (I also vaguely remember writing (like by hand in my notebook) a mini missing scene fanfic about Luxa using the turtle trapdoor when she snuck out to join the quest in PoB XD)

(Don't ask about that size difference lol)

Okay here come the scenes/spoilers (and FEELS)

(and apparently I thought that holding Ares' claw meant his foot instead of his wing)

There you have it lol

I also distinctly remember making like a montage of Lapblood moments (the dart frog jumping near her face, strangled in the vines, sinking in quicksand (all near death experiences apparently, rip she had it rough), and Gregor brushing her fur) bc those were the moments I remembered and kept picturing during my reread. But unfortunately I could not for the LIFE of me find it!

Anyway, looking at your old art is cringeyyyy but it's still kinda fun too. This really is not how I picture the characters or clothing and stuff anymore, I might do some redraws if I ever find the time/motivation (lol as if) 

[my-cursed-brain]

Shout out to the handful of The Underland Chronicles fans, you guys are awesome and I'm so glad to see other people who know this series and were also fundamentally changed by it

[yesthefandomfreakblr]

Not to be THAT person but... How long do we thing Gregor's parents stayed together after the end of the books?...

[prophecyofgray]

they should've had the underland in club penguin. would've saved her i think. there's a sewer system that u can enter and everything... imagine giant talking puffles..... puffle ripred. Think about it

[noirs-multiverse]

i am a certified gregor and the code of claw hater and thanks to the lovely @haveihitanerve asking<3, i decided to share a google doc of my commentary on it

feel free to leave comments and stuffs lol, i may make proper posts on my opinions abt code of claw and tuc in general at some point in time, but not rn
