Happy Valentines Day! ❤️

Good post, friend
I just had a thought about Matthias.
Matthias doesn't like everyone on his team. He clearly doesn't like Colin Vole, for instance. But Matthias is still clearly willing to put his own life at risk to protect him because he considers Colin under his care.
Matthias wasn't supernatural in his emotions. In fact, Matthias is particularly emotional. Despite this, his desire to protect Redwall applies to everyone there because he considers them under his care.
I'm going to move to the next book chronologically: Mattimeo.
Matthias reprimanded Mattimeo very strongly over his fight with Vitch. Mattimeo felt, I'm sure, that no one else recognized Vitch as a rat. However, although Matthias is emotional, he is not stupid. He would have recognized that Vitch was a rat and I personally cannot be convinced otherwise.
I don't know that it's ever identified who let Vitch into Redwall. All I know is: Vitch was welcomed in, and Matthias would have recognized that he was now under his care, despite being a rat, because he was peacefully welcomed into Redwall.
We see this again after the battle in Malkariss when Matthias told Matti to let Vitch go. Even though Vitch was explicitly involved in the kidnapping of Redwall's children, he still protected Vitch from harm.
Also--even though Matthias said Vitch "has no place among honest woodlanders"--I have no doubt that if Vitch hadn't died and found his way to Redwall's gates again, Matthias would have opened the door.
That is such a Vitch thing to do oh my goddd
Also, I assume you meant “little vole girl,” but “little vile girl” is very funny to me
i had a bunch more redwall related dreams last night but the most interesting ones were slagar having to be used by this good guy group to go against vitch who had taken over the moon and threatened world domination. (also slagar was divorced??? and had kids one of which was deadpan artist???)
in another one a group of adventuring woodland creatures (squirrel, otter, a little vile girl, and a rat on thin ice) were stranded in the desert and were at risk of starving but the rat managed to find a bunch of apples before passing out because he almost drowned in sand.

He's beautiful and I love cat Skitter.
Is Skitter real or is he just your creation that I have accidentally absorbed into my internal narrative of the canon and I forgot that he wasn't real?
Also, I thought you wrote "protecting" him instead of "projecting," which I honestly think is so true and accurate.
Great work.
Slowly removing him from the original context of the story and projecting myself onto him until he’s a completely different character :3
