Obviously

(I had to search my blog to make sure I hadn’t mentioned this before because it just seems so obvious:)

Okay but you cannot tell me Basil Stag Hare is cishet

These are just so sweet, and you’re so talented. The shrew’s nose is especially perfect. I love them as always xoxo

Some other miscellaneous art from the Redwall re-read discord.

#1 and #2 are from two separate nights, where I was lacking inspiration and asked for prompts. Someone asked for a “gurt happy moler” and “a shrew at a campfire”

#3 is an incomplete sketch, but oh well. Someone made a joke about how the name “Cringo Blam-Blam” would fit right in to the Redwall books or something along those lines, so of course I took that as a challenge and now he’s unofficially official. We assume he is/was a cellarhog who got a little too into pyrotechnics.

#4 and #5 were inspired by some various pics from that AI photo generator that’s currently trending; another member of the server put through several different prompts, and others commented on the kind of characters they could see developing from it. The mouse is William, a former Abbey Warrior with severe PTSD, but now he lives in Mossflower and raises butterflies. Then there’s Softtail, a very shy fox who also lives in Mossflower. He and William are buds.

I mean if you subscribe to the idea that he works through all the abbey warriors… maybe so 🧐

The average amount of conquerors slain by Abbey Beasts is Zero.

Martin the Warrior, who slays 10,000 a day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

HEYA FOLKS! Earlier I realized there’s only 7 more recipes for this season and with aiming for about 1 dish every week-ish I’m gonna need more, so if you have any good de-fictionalized recipes, feel free to send them my way! Now- Kick ya legs up on the back porch cus today were gonna be baking some badger-patented and badger-approved carrot cakes from the Redwall Cookbook!

(If you’d like to follow along, you will find the original recipe under the cut!)-

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to a Brockhall Badger Carrot Cake?” YOU MIGHT ASK

1 Small potato, mashed

3 Eggs, beaten

1 Medium onion

3 Medium carrots

Fresh breadcrumbs

Fresh parsley

Salt

Pepper

Vegetable oil

You’ll want some sort of kitchen scale also, as the onion ‘n carrot are measured by weight.

For a recipe that uses breacrumbs, I’d strongly recommend leaving a slice of bread out the night before you cook, and then crumbling it by hand. You can use storebought but they have the texture and flavor of woodchips. A tad fucky wucky. In most contexts the breadcrumbs serve as a binder so you want it so have space to absorb the moisture in the food when you’re cooking!

AND, “what do Brockhall Badger Carrot Cakes taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASK Well! Kinda like latkes! Somewhat! (The ‘cake’ in ‘carrot cake’ must’ve been a shortening of pancake?)

Innards are tender, sorta fluffy

Carrots contribute a really nice crispy quality to the tops and bottoms of each

Like a less-oily more meaty-tasting latke

Speaking of, it somehow. Somehow. Tastes like meat. I don’t know. Its excellent.

I served it with a side of roasted garlic hummus and would 10/10 do it again, it adds a breezy quality to the otherwise stocky meal

Hard to think of a drink that’d pair well. I think it’d have to be some seltzer

I made a platter of these for a lunch-guest, hence the fancy dish, and in her words “Thats a good whatever it is”. Glowing 3/3 stars Michelin-Man your ass is mine

. Used carrot tops for plating . Added a dash of cayenne pepper dust to last cake while it was on the pan (would do this for every cake in the future)

———————————————————————————————————-

However; I dunno if I’d make these in the future!

You will need another set of hands to help you prep all the foodstuffs!! Which isn’t bad! But it is a factor. Theres simply not enough areas to multitask as one person during the prep stage. And the serving as is isn’t filling enough for it to stand on its own without some adjustments.

It’d fit in splendid at potlucks or holiday dinners, where theres both either people to help or other dishes (so you can make a smaller portion) to focus on, 6/10, with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.

Grating is what they make kindergartners do in hell. I spent 20 minutes trying to think of wordplay that used grating (to mean annoyance) and I give up.

Some villain hordes have absolutely eaten small sentient animals before, and the Redwallers are always horrified if they find out. Redwallers would never eat thrush. In my mind, it’s not that the thrush aren’t sentient, it’s that Ascrod eats them anyway. I imagine the thrush is semi-sentient and keeps mostly to itself.

Hey redwall??? Why are owls sentient but thrush are still non-sentient??

Ohhhh my lands

The Duel of Chieftains is such a strong scene and this is an incredible drawing

Just a silly doodle. Thinking about what the Duel of Chieftains would’ve looked like if characters were the size of their actual species.
