#watership down i guess

[pbaintthetb]

trying to explain to a friend how Bigwig is actually misunderstood by the narrative (or more specifically, Hazel and consequently the reader)

To which end I was getting sceptical looks, until I explained the "there's a dog in the woods" river scene, how Bigwig's actions contradict both his and Hazel's words and how it differs from the '70s film. At which point I could see understanding dawn

anyway you shall pay for your crimes, '70s, fucking incredible animation be damned

Oh, Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered with blood!’

Fiver is my favorite character in Watership Down, he's just like me fr. I was afraid this wouldn't read especifically as Fiver, but alas... i liked my initial sketch a lot so i kept it as it was.

thinking about the part in watership down where some rabbits worship a hunter because he feeds them sometimes and the rabbits become domesticated, apathetic and cynical and refuse to talk about those killed by the hunter and become violent when questioned about it. they completely forget the names and faces of those they lost and live ignorantly, praising the hunter that feeds them and surrounds their burrows with traps like hmmm… really makes u think

I'm thinking about a Bug World concept where any non-insect might just see the residents as regular animals, but the way that the residents see themselves contrasts to that. Seeing themselves as more anthropomorphized and regal

Which would also play in to how the rest of the world sees Bug World, as small, insignificant, and something to not waste your time on. But the residents of Bug World see their societies differently, even if the giants don't want to see it. Still debating on this though

I’m watching Watership Down later this afternoon after watching episode two of Burrows End…definitely not prepping myself for this campaign.

first bigwig almost fucking dies after getting caught in a snare, now we find out the rabbits who didn’t join them on the journey to watership down got fucking gassed to death — what fucking children’s book is this?!!?!!

[scienceandstorytelling]

Me: I’m telling “The Blessing of El-ahrairah” tonight, it says swifts sound like they’re saying “news,” I should make sure I can imitate it properly

*googles what swifts sound like* Me: Hey Richard Adams what the fuck

Strange Rabbit

[ID: An illustration of Fiver, a light brown rabbit with red eyes. Fiver is standing on his hind legs, his head turned to the side, light glinting off his eyes. His shadow is cast multiple times onto the dark brown burrow behind him. Stylized red cursive text at the bottom reads, "Believe me, I am sorry for your death"]

When Bigwig said "Silflay Hraka" <<<<<<<3 and then topped it off with "U Embleer Rah"

what a king, what a legend, shame they yanno, cut it in the 70s film, it does exist in the BBC one though small mercies. Even if trying to find clips of the BBC one is near impossible. And also bigwig is in an open space which like... undermines the "I will stay here" point
