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

university.. university leave me alone
#heres the situation: for my cognitive literary studies class (quite fun) we had to pick primary material and a cognitive angle to analyse it#from. and the deadline was coming up and i who have been thinking very intensely about robots for the last half a year picked#yeah you guessed it. fucking PIERS PLOWMAN. which is not fun for me but i panicked about the deadline#so now i have to do something about piers plowman and its cognitive literary properties#and im in hell this is hell i have been extremely stressed about piers plowman for a month. to the point where ive been in physical pain#AND I CANNOT. THINK OF ANYTHING. ABOUT PIERS PLOWMAN.#and the teacher for that class is so nice and chill and she was like you can pick anything at all. and i went with piers plowman#like it's interesting but from what COGNITIVE angle can i approach piers plowman.#ive been thinking about saying exactly this that piers plowman is more for historical linguists and theologists than narratologists but im#also positive plenty of scholars read piers plowman for the plot#so then i thought about the characters and whether you can Connect with them and whether they help you Immerse yourself in the story and#other terminology i learned in cognitive literary studies class.#theyre allegorical and very 1 dimensional and there could be something about whether we from 2024 understand them in the same way#people from the 14th century did. like this was what i put in my proposal when i made it#but now i actually have to make the slides and use cognitive literary papers for this and it's just not going at all. i cant do it.#i cant do anything i cant enjoy the daylight and the warmer weather i cant think about anything other than im not making progress on this#and it's bad for me!! it's bad for my health i feel bad. why did i go with piers plowman why did i not pick watership down#my post#i have plenty to say about watership downm cognitively.#also about old possums book of practical cats#maybe i could email her and tell her id like to change it.. no#ive also been reading the tombs of atuan which is incredible

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
