Underland Chronicles - Tumblr Posts
Well I’m definitely traumatized
Suzanne Collins really woke up one morning and decided to traumatize a generation of kids not once but TWICE
Artemis Fowl is THE BEST and the Underland Chronicles too plz read them if you haven’t
how everyone ignores the existence of artemis fowl fucking baffles me it has poc rep and the female villain doesnt do it for some stupid reason guys What how are you capable of completely shoving that kind of story aside its sci-fi and fantasy you guys are wild i don’t get how such a passionate tale just goes overlooked
same thing with the underland chronicles like. IT HAS GIANT RATS AND GIANT BATS AND PURPLE-EYED HUMANS AND A CUTE BABY NAMED BOOTS
how does literally everyone ever overlook those great book series what the FUCK
and yes i am aware this is the shuuen blog do i care No
To be fair Gregor’s hands were bleeding afterwards
OH AND ALSO Ripred called Ms. Cormaci ‘La Bella Cormaci’
things i think people forget about the underland chronicles
regalia has suburbs
grace (gregors mom) has been to the fount
ripred tried to take over the fount with lobsters (were they big or normal sized? i need to know)
the underlanders probably have a religion of some kind (we see them giving funeral rites in the fifth book)
in the fifth book all the patients in the hospital were killed in the rat attack
ripred once called vikus luxa's grandpapa i would argue that this is the most important one on the list
gregor snapped a sword with his bare hands
add more if you guys can remember anything else
I’ll never get over it ;-;
me, after thinking about ares the flier for .22 seconds:
I've seen people compare Ripred to Haymitch and honestly I can't help but agree because they're both so similar in many ways.
- grumpy asshole who accidentally ends up caring about the protagonists
- certified bastard
- tragic backstory
- very well known but maybe not for the best reasons
- can be seen as lazy and crude but is super smart and can be deadly
- hard to kill
- giant bullies
- rat
I love that female leaders are so normalized in TUC. Luxa, Weavox, Athena, and the cutter monarch are all queens. Luxa acts surprised when Gregor asks if women have an equal claim to the throne as men; no one ever doubts them on behalf of their gender. Solovet, Lapblood, and Perdita are respected leaders, too, and we can pretty safely assume Nike is, as she was selected as the flier representative. Grace could easily be seen as a leader, too.
There’s never any “ooooh she can’t do it because she’s a girl” subplots either, which I understand can be empowering, but frankly it’s kind of an ugly reminder, and going without it is refreshing. They’re all presented for the most part as flawed, well rounded characters, and they’re not held to stupidly high expectations, nor do they have their leadership abilities as their only personality trait.
And there’s female characters who aren’t necessarily warriors or leaders, but they’re still shown as strong and talented and unique in their own right!!
Thanks, Suzanne.
Here are some Underland Chronicles memes I edited
Your welcome -w-
hey how many people are active at all in the underland fandom(2018)? Reblog this so i can follow y’all!!!
I had the sketch for this sitting around for quite a while, so I finally just buckled down and finished it. Yes, it’s Ares. And yes, he’s a ghost. Ares, as a ghost, as he shows up in that Danny Phantom and Underland Chronicles crossover going on at my Gregor roleplay blog... Yep. I went there, folks.
But hey. At least that means he’s coming back, probably?
All I want to know is if the lobsters were big or not
it somehow never occurred to me that when ripred tried to take over the fount with an army of lobsters that he wasn’t on good terms with the humans yet. I had assumed he was already mutuals with vikus and solovet and it was just a casual thing he went ahead and did
Haha I should... maybe... do that
did you know because of TUC i carry a flashlight, a duct tape, a bottle of water, matches and band-aids ALL THE TIME WITH ME? TO EVERYWHERE?
that series made me some kind of paranoid person buT THEY ARE SO USEFUL THANK YOU GREGOR
Ah Ripred is the best
fact: the most simultaneously “fuck destiny” and “fuck, destiny” thing I’ve ever seen in fiction was when Ripred showed up at the end of the last Underland Chronicles book with a scar on his face that it’s heavily implied he put there HIMSELF, just so people would fucking listen to him.
All my favorite characters are sassy little shits (Ripred, Loki, Sylvie, Natasha and Thranduil)
I did a drawing yesterday of Ripred from the Underland Chronicles series and I’ve read 3 of the books so far and I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!
Ps Ripred is my favorite Asshole character XD
literally anyone: *hands gregor a prophecy*
gregor: so does this come with a gift receipt or
I’m here, I’m obsessed and I’m depressed
Actually I think that’s the entire fandom (aka like 3 people)
how has no one else in the world read the Underland Chronicles and how is no one else as obsessed with them as I am like ???
Personal
I have just finished The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins.
These books are fantastic! I highly reccomend them to anybody who likes fantasy/adventure books.
In my opinion they are way better than The Hunger Games.
Now what to read next…..
Me: //Actually notices there’s sort of a TUC fandom
Me: Can I just– //slides into fandom
Me: yeah
Genius
Gnawer?? Flier?? Why didn’t you nerds just call them Ratthew and Batthew those are much better names @ past underlanders
