exactly how big is the Redwall fandom here on tumblr?
i dont see a lot of us invading regular posts like the other fandoms
are we just hiding
waiting for the perfect moment to emerge from the bushes and swarm our enemies or?
yes. we have been lying in wait for years now, shrugging off the occasional text post about someone nostalgia-tripping over the show being on netflix, or hipster instagram photos with red walls in them, but no more, it is finally on it’s way, our beacon to bring Redwall out of the shadows and into the light as powerful fandom. It is here.
The Redwall Adventure game
our time has finally come….
We will swarm from the shadows with our armies, whips, lashes, boilin’ porridge, grog, pies, endless riddles, an’ mighty weapons and prophecies, storm all the other fandoms’ fortresses with a mighty roar of “EULALIA!” an’ we will hear the lamentations of our enemies. We have the patience of Slagar the Cruel; we have lurked for years an’ years, plottin’ our revenge. An’ now— now it is comin’ upon us.
As sure as Redwall will have a feast, an’ the Skipper will take a swim, an’ a warlord will fall an’ the Sparra will quarrel, the Redwall fandom will stage an’ uprisin’ like the overthrowin’ of Malkariss, filled with both vermin an’ woodlander. The pictures of red walls an’ brief splurges of nostalgia will be overwhelmed, those small text posts will be swept away in our mighty charge like Rillflag was in a river, an’ vengeance an’ victory will be ours.
We will stage a rebellion the likes of which only Martin I an’ Luke have ever seen. An’ like Luke, we will be unstoppable.
We are the Redwall fandom. An’ you best be gettin’ ready ta fight ‘o gettin’ ready ta run.
Every Midwinter’s Eve the Redwallers have a mass snowball fight on the grounds and it always ends up with all of them against the Redwall Champion because fair is fair.
And every winter, the Redwall Champion gets smashed under a deluge of snow, because no matter how good of a swordsbeast they are, snowball fights are an entirely different kind of battlefield than they are use to…… Until Taggerung Deyna has his first midwinter at Redwall. That’s when everyone gets that uncomfortable reminder that he wasn’t raised here and grew up playing snowball fights in a much more cutthroat environment. That day everyone, even the dibbuns, lived in terror of snowballs thrown with deadly precision from out of no where. The great hall? No escape. The dormitories? They came through windows three stories up. The orchard and outside spaces were a total killzone as Deyna stalked unwary redwallers under the camouflage of a white sheet.
remember that part in legend of luke where those hedgehogs dress up as ghosts or whatever and they’re trying to scare martin & company, and everyone’s freaked out but martin’s just like “nah i don’t believe in ghosts”
the same martin who haunts the shit out of redwall for the next trillion years
Another good translation difference from Martino.
In English Clogg says “That’s twice you’ve crossed me, Badrang…”
In Italian the same line reads "È la seconda volta che mi metti i bastoni tra le ruote, Badrang…“
Now… “mi metti i bastoni tra le ruote” is an idiom for making things difficult for someone but it literally translates to putting a stick in someone’s wheels which is just…so good.
Martino there is no reason to combine three English sentences into one monstrous Italian sentence good lord no wonder I was confused.
