Ive Been Kind Of Working On A System For Myself And My Blog, And I Really Enjoy Not Remembering/checking

I’ve been kind of working on a system for myself and my blog, and I really enjoy not remembering/checking on what’s in my queue until it’s posted lol. It’s like a fun treat- “woah! A new post from my favorite creator! Look how fun that thing I did is.”

I know there's definitely a lot of competition for it, but I think Raga Bol might actually have the dumbest death in the Redwall series. His great plan that gets him killed is to TAUNT THE FURIOUS BADGER into a BLOODWRATH INDUCED KILLING HAZE, get said badger to charge directly at Raga Bol HIMSELF, while four of his minions hide in the bushes with spears to try and kill Lonna before he gets to him. And of course only one of the minions actually manages to hit the badger, which doesn't slow him down at all, and Lonna uses Bol's dumb body to block all the others. Because of course he fucking does!!!! Bol what were you thinking!!!! You could have at least dug a big hole for the badger to fall in or something, like even boring ass Gabol the Wild managed to do that much!

A sketch I'm unlikely to finish.

Happy Post-Halloween!

I haven’t talked about my Redwall costume very extensively, but it is a dear treasure to me. I have been designing, creating, and collecting clothes (some pretty beautiful ones) for my Redwall character for the past two-ish years! You may have seen my design worn in all the wonderful drawings on my page. I have countless lofty goals for myself, and I'm sure I won't be done until decades from now, but c'est la art. Nevertheless, I do have quite a good costume as it is, and how could I not wear something so special?

I have been wearing my Redwall outfit as my Halloween costume for two years so far and I will continue doing so indefinitely. (I think I do a better job every year BLUSH) And now, I would love to share it with you guys!

This is me with my ADORABLE mouse face which I am SO proud of

These are photos from last year (while I was in the same state as all of my costume materials) while I was getting ready for a party- you can see: - my habit (which has a very cool hood) - my wooden glasses chain, which I made - my orange shawl, which can also be worn as a scarf! - the habit cord I crocheted- the habit came with a cord, but I wanted something authentically emotionally significant - and my two necklaces which I "corded" myself- one is a painted metal pendant of a flower basket, and one is my very own cross-stitch Martin the Warrior tapestry replica (and my prized possession) You can also see a pair of hare earrings, which I love but have recently switched out for three lovely pearls.

Many other aspects of my outfit are obscured beneath the habit, including a tan dress and a homemade blue apron with flowery medieval pockets. I keep some trinkets and necessities in the pockets, and have hopes to one day open a slit in the habit to access the inner skirt. As I said, I have lofty goals...

And this is me being so very cute (last year and this year, respectively)! I've been evolving my technique for my mouse makeup in the attempt to make it "natural" and nature-ey, which I am very excited about, but an unfortunate side effect is that it kind of rubbed off by the time the second photo was taken.

I hope to share more of my outfit when I am able- including details of the necklace, which I shared on the Re:Redwall podcast zine- and to share developments as they come. In the meantime, I hope that everyone will be happy with my linking the company I got my habit from!

Irongate Armory

Green Monk's Robe / Druid's Robe - Irongate Armory

Modest but also very versatile garment Includes a robe, separate hood and belt Available sizes: Regular (generous size that fits most adults

Irongate Armory is a company located in Finland that sells authentic recreation of "historical items," including my habit! Not kidding, I cried when I found their website. The manufacturer of the "green monks robe" is listed as "Windlass Steelcrafts," which makes historical and fantasy products, and also sells the habit on their website. Unfortunately, the item is not currently in stock in either location.

Thank you for your festive entertainment of my costumery story, and I welcome you all to this post!
