and mullet Kars Adon? yes please

I was at a concert about a month ago where all the musicians were playing music from the 1600s on surviving instruments from the 1600s (there was something very like a violin but not quite and a 6 stringed curvier cello). Anyway I just kept thinking of the Cwidder from Dalemark, which I previously struggled to imagine lasting so long with regular use.

"He was blind with panic. It was as if he had run away from himself and left the inside of his head empty. Mitt knew this would not do. It was no use thinking Ynen could manage by himself. He had to run after himself, inside his head, and bring himself back with one arm twisted up his back before he was able to pick up an armful of soaking sail and stagger with it to the hatch."

Diana Wynne Jones, "Drowned Ammet"

No one better to repair an ancient map than the navigator and the archaeologist of the ship.

#one piece #cat burglar nami #nico robin #my art #map based on my fav book series of all time #(it’s the Dalemark quartet) #poses based on a pic I took at work last week #we were repairing a map from 1890

Trick or treat! Queen's Thief series or Spellcoats please?

This is a great combination because one of my favorite pet headcanons is that these series take place on different continents in the same world. The vibes just match, you know? The themes of real people becoming history and legends, the amount of fantasy in the fantasy settings (very little, really, and both ambling toward industrial revolutions). The way the gods do and do not interact with and relate to humans; how the older gods are more nature-based and the younger more human. Eugenides the god could so be an Undying of Dalemark, as could Immakuk and Ennikar.

I'm reading the dalemark quartet for the first time and uh. In a world of complicated diana wynne jones parents Alhammitt takes the crown of Worst Father Ever

#dalemark quartet #drowned ammet #nearly yelled when i put two and two together #and like. he's got tough competition!!! dwj writes lots of bad parents #but when mitt asked 'aren't you proud of me' and he said 'i have 3 other kids by a diff wife who don't get in the way' #he's gonna catch these hands and then some #dwj #she speaks

[pomea]

i cannot stress enough how good shield of stars was

#kidlit fantasy writers from the eighties to the early aughts knew how to write political hijinks to make your head spin #would compare this series to jones' dalemark quartet in terms of plot intricacy + interest in portraying the complexities of government

[fluentisonus]

idk if anyone but me ever read the dalemark quartet as a kid but I just realized that the old song in it is directly referencing this passage of bede:

cart and cwidder // bede trans. crossley-holland

#I came across the bede in this book on the exeter book riddles & it set off little alarm bells in my head #from childhood memories bc that bit of song really stuck with me #anyways #thoughts #dwj #the dalemark quartet

“I have no business having new thoughts. It wouldn’t be reasonable.” Mitt could not help grinning. “What are you smiling at?” Hern asked. “You,” Mitt said, “must have been a regular eel in your day. Not reasonable, my big toe! You keep turning up new ideas.” A slight, enjoying smile bent Hern’s mouth. “I was always very hot on reason,” he said. “If I had been able to give the new King advice, I would have told him never to rely on things being reasonable. I did, and it caused me no end of trouble.”
