I'm very normal thinking about the fact that the last time Nia, Leeli, Podo and Oskar saw Kalmar as a boy was right before they fled for their lives when the Fangs attacked them in Dugtown.

#the wingfeather saga #wingfeather saga spoilers #kalmar wingfeather #and the last time janner sees him they're fighting I'm- ;-; #I've definitely thought about this before but SEEING it hits differently

I just had the sudden realization that if the Wingfeather people haven't released the titles of the episodes to investors they DEFINITELY haven't to the general public and I enjoyed it so much more last year when I had half a clue what would happen in each episode from the title, so here's the titles of episodes 1-4 of season two of the Wingfeather show!

Episode 1: The Flight of the Wingfeathers

Episode 2: Fingap Falls

Episode 3: Stranded

Episode 4: The Roundish Widow

I'll try and remember to post the rest once I know them!

#the wingfeather saga #the wingfeather saga tv show #wingfeather show season 2 #if the official people won't do this then darnit I will #to be clear these are the only titles I know #I'm finding them out each friday when a new episode comes out #you can get a pretty good idea of where we are in the book from the titles which is nice I think

The kid playing Janner hasn't read book 4 oh no.

#the wingfeather saga #the wingfeather saga tv show #janner wingfeather #he said his reactions are more authentic in the show if he reads it out of the scripts first so he stopped reading at book 3 #it- it might be a good thing I mean #ANDREW didn't even know what would happen to janner until he was WRITING book 4 so

Fair warning to everyone who follows me: I get early access to The Wingfeather Saga season 2 tonight (first 3 episodes). I would never intentionally spoil it for anyone and will always tag my spoilers as "wingfeather spoilers" and/or "wingfeather saga tv show spoilers". I'll also put any potential spoiler-y things under a readmore like usual.

This also means I'll probably be posting about it more. The first 3 episodes are going to be shown tonight as part of a livestream but I think that after tonight I'll only be able to rewatch episode 1 on the site until next week when ep. 2 releases etc. So you won't be flooded by 300 screenshots all at once (probably).

Season 2 will cover the first half of book 2 so that should give you a pretty good idea of what parts of the book these episodes will be covering if you've read the books.

Hey. I found Tumblr because of your Deviant Art page, so I wanted to say thanks. Also, I loved your artwork of the Wingfeather boys, so do you think you could draw Sara? Or Maraly? Just asking. It would make my day if you did.

Oh that's cool! I'm glad you like my art, thank you!! It means a lot to hear that. I haven't drawn those girls in years so these might not look the best lol

Hope you like it! :D

Hey all! So if you didn't see it yesterday there is a new Wingfeather trailer for season 2! It's pretty epic!

There's also a new season 2 poster in their shop, and since it has Peet on it I bought it immediately even though I really don't have extra money to spend this week. xD It also has what I think is the first official/finished look at Maraly?!? (the character, not my kitten) As well as the Fork Factory, Claxton Weaver and the Overseer. 👀👀

Season 2 covers the first half of book 2 and is releasing sometime this year!

Andrew Peterson, every other paragraph:

Artham nodded regally.

Artham sneezed handsomely.

Artham broke down wept in the most noble & beauteous way possible.

Artham was a RAVISHING VISION OF

BIRDLY CHIVALRY as he sipped his soup.

Even more wingfeather memes

#pfffffft #the wingfeather saga #wingfeather saga memes #wingfeather saga spoilers #silliness

[wings-dings-and-iggyfings]

On that note, I think the post I made the other day about the comparisons between Artham and Janner and Sara and Arundelle got deleted because tumblr JERKS THE PAGE UP when you delete something and I was PANICKED because there was a ton of stuff on here that wasn't supposed to be so if anyone could PLEASE send me the reblog of that if that even still works I would appreciate it.

If you ever happen to find a post on here unrelated to the Wingfeather Saga it's because tumblr switches me back and forth between my main blog and this sideblog without my consent all the goshdarned time so I'll be reblogging things thinking it's on my main blog and it's actually getting posted here.

cannot emphasize enough how a good piece of media can reset a creative slump. stop putting off consuming that media because you "should be writing instead" and then not write either

#writing #writers #things to remember

[wings-dings-and-iggyfings]

my sister got a book for christmas on how to care for tarantulas alongside the tarantula supplies (she's wanted one since she was 8, and she's 15 now) and basically it appears to have been written by an AI.

She realized quickly that the book was riddled with errors, repetitive and badly written, and after some investigation found that it was self published using a website that offers AI tools to "help" you write your book

What a disgrace.

I'm having Wingfeather thoughts all of a sudden. Spoilers for book/season 2:

So I'm wondering if maybe one of the reasons the people working on the tv show decided to have Sara appear in season 1- beyond the obvious purpose of letting new fans get to know her character a bit and become emotionally attached to her- is so that we could see how bright and happy and spirited she was before the Fork Factory. Because even in the book we only get like one line from Janner about how he remembers her before the Factory, which isn't a lot to go off of.

But, now that we've seen her in season 1 they've set it up to be emotionally devastating to see her in the Fork Factory (unless they change it but I hope they don't). Sara is depressed in the Fork Factory, she has no hope until Janner arrives and starts hatching an escape plan with her, until he leaves light behind for her. And for people watching the show to have seen what a bright, cheerful, friendly little girl she was before, that's like a gut punch. And that's... really clever writing, actually. I hope that's what they're going for because I feel like it's just going to make her story more meaningful.

#the wingfeather saga #the wingfeather saga tv show #wingfeather saga spoilers #sara cobbler #janner wingfeather #I hope this made sense #this just hit me and I really want this to be what they're going for #the timeline does make this a little tricky #I'm a bit worried they're gonna cut short the time the family spends in Peet's castle but #if they do that then it also makes it harder to do sara properly #because she has to have been in the fork factory for a while to be depressed like she is in the book #(which is why I hope they don't change how she acts just because of the shorter timeframe) #which was the downside of them putting her in the first season but you win some you lose some #if the fam spends a month or two in Peet's castle then that at least gives some time for sara to have been at the factory #and lose all hope #hhhhhh I can't wait to see her as queen sara I'm-

About your Wingfeather kittens, did you notice that their coats match their characters' hair colors? Also if you've seen it, how do you feel about the Wingfeather saga tv series?

May God bless you and keep you!

Ah, haha, you're right they do! I hadn't really noticed that except with Kalmar, when I named them it was because their purrsonalities matched the characters. (well, except for Leeli being shy, but she was unexpectedly fiesty considering how innocent looking she is, and that is very Leeli)

I love the tv show! Well, most of it. I have a beef with the last few minutes of episode 6 specifically for leaving out a bunch of extremely important information from the book and also Janner and Peet's hug, but besides that I love it! I think that the changes they've made when translating it from a book make sense and I love all the actors and actresses they've recruited for it (which isn't exclusive to the big name ones, the kids are *flips table* SO CUTE and I think they're doing a PERFECT job with their characters).

*spoilers follow*

Also I say I have issues with episode 6, but it really is just those last few minutes I SCREAMED when Peet and Nugget showed up and were fighting the Fangs. Also when Peet's talons got revealed, I was really just screaming a lot the last two episodes. xD

Okay and now that I'm thinking about it again I do not understand why most of episode 5 was Like That. The first half felt largely unnecessary when the kids could literally just have been captured with Nia and Podo like in the book (and yes they wanted to have the kids see earlier that Zouzab was a traitor to really drive that home to them, but there were easier ways to have done that) and they could have used the extra time for episode 6 and explaining the whole flight from Anniera/why Podo hates Peet/letting Peet have the panic attack he did in the book why would you not have him react to Esben's name I'm-

*cough* Anyway, I don't know if they're on this blog or my main blog but somewhere I have a bunch of posts about how I LOVE what they're doing visually to really SHOW the story and that they're building parallels for things later. Like, for example, making the Sea Dragons able to loom RIGHT over the cliff the kids are on instead of being far below when they react to Leeli's song and how that visually is going to parallel the scene in book 2 where Leeli calms Yurgen down with his song and then touches him. Like I deeply hope there are Wingfeather people capable of making gifs because when that scene from book 2 drops I'm gonna lose my mind.

I love Peet in the show. ;-; He's my favorite character and they are doing him SO fantastically well and also affirming a bunch of my headcanons so that's exciting. :D "Escape to Peet's Castle" is just *chef's kiss* perfection. I have every scene of the kids and Peet screenshotted and saved on my computer almost second by second.

And on that note I am SO excited to finally have all these characters visualized and to be able to take screenshots of them and this show is just so PRETTY my gosh. I love the character designs and the places and the lovely backgrounds.

All this being said I am waiting in fear and trepidation for season 2. Them leaving out some very important things at the end of season 1 has made me very anxious to see if they'll be able to keep doing this well. I'm worried that they're trying to go too fast and that some of the quality is gonna get sacrificed. But a lot of that is because I've been burned before by tv shows that started out AMAZING and rapidly deteriorated. But I pray for everyone involved with the show every night to have wisdom/guidance so I'm trying to trust God with it.

So, overall, I really love the show and I hope they can keep doing it well, I just have a few concerns. I'll stop now because this got long and kind of rambly. Thanks for asking!

This poem always makes me think of Artham 

P.S I’m sorry about the weird comments on “The Throne Warden’s Redemption, I had been up all night.

(oh gosh oh lands I’ve never gotten a submission before Idk how to do this hopefully this is fine xD)

That does have very Artham vibes. 👀 And it’s a Tolkien quote too! (rest of my response under the cut)

Don’t worry about the comments thing, sorry I never replied to them, I recently became mom to three kittens I personally went and rescued off the streets... and then the two little girls had babies so now I’m grandma to 11 more kittens. I’ve been very busy and a great many things I meant to do have fallen by the wayside. So sorry about that!

This is tangentially related to The Wingfeather Saga so may I introduce to you-

THE WINGFEATHER KITTENS (aka the baby Bengals I rescued off the streets)

Kalmar!

Maraly!

And Leeli!

They are all beautiful, sweet little babies about 5 months old.

Kalmar is a little lovebug and an absolute dork. He loves to cuddle and wants nothing more than the love of every human and cat he meets. Unfortunately his sisters are hormonal and hiss at him a lot, which makes him sad and confused. But he keeps trying! He loves them a lot <3 (he gets tons of love and attention from me and my parents, don't worry) He likes to talk to himself.

Maraly is a little SPITFIRE. She is lovable to humans but temperamental around her siblings and other cats. She wants attention CONSTANTLY and if she sees you petting or holding her siblings she gets jealous and comes over to ask for attention as well and maybe hiss at her brother/sister. But oh my goodness is she sweet to people! She gave me kisses today! We're hoping that once we get her spayed (we have to wait a few months, the girls are very thin from being on the streets) she'll mellow a bit.

Leeli is very observant and thoughtful. She was the original Bengal kitten who started all this and the last one I caught (a week ago)! I'll just say it, she's my favorite. I love them all, but she's my favorite. I had to go through so much to save her and I feel connected to her because of it. She's still a bit shy, but getting better every day! She's been getting friendlier as she starts to feel safe here. And she has the sweetest little meow. She loves to be stroked while she's laying sleepily on "her" chair.

All three live on our screened front porch at the moment while we get them healthy and flea-free. They sleep in separate pens but we let them out while we're around during the day so they can wander the porch and lounge places (Kalmar is the only one who seems to know how to play ;-;). They are all so sweet and loving, not to mention GORGEOUS. Truly they are jewels, and I don't know who was foolish enough to abandon them, but that's their loss. They're my babies now and I love them. <3
