Deltora Quest (2007)

Propaganda Below

Sent: "This show is amazing! It’s based on Emily Rhoda’s book series Deltora Quest which was a classic series we read in primary school. Coming home from reading the book in school to seeing the show (a couple episodes behind where we were in the book) every Monday and Thursday was the highlight of my week as a child. I rewatched it in 2019 and some things hold up, others don’t because it’s a show that was made in 2007 lol but the nostalgia of it fixed my soul"

Google: ""Deltora Quest," based on the children's book series by Australian author Emily Rodda, tells the tale of warrior Lief, who at 16 is presented by his father with a magic object known as the Belt of Deltora. When the Shadow Lord, an evil sorcerer, destroys the belt, thereby taking over the kingdom of Deltora, Lief faces the greatest challenge of his life. With assistance from his mentor, Barda, and young orphan Jasmine, Lief -- armed with only a sword and a magic cloak -- ventures into dark and dangerous places to find the seven magic gems stolen from the belt. Once back in their rightful place, the gems will empower the heir to the throne of Deltora and free the people from the tyrannical Shadow Lord."

Everyone shut the fuck up and go read Deltora Quest. And do NOT let the anime fool you into thinking Lief is blond. Or that Barda is boring. Or heterosexual. Or that Jasmine isn't an honorary emo tboy. Or that Steven is white. Ok??? The Deltora anime is the devil speaking through the moving picture. Do not believe his lies. Look at me. Look at me now. Lief has black hair. Do you understand me boy? Do you? GOOD. Now GO. GO SPREAD THE WORD. The truth MUST be heard.

seeing someone be incorrect about my favorite female character is like my personal 911

I get the feeling that Rule 4 Fish in a Birdcage is one of those songs that gets put on every character playlist even though it doesn't actually fit, but I swear it's like THE Steven and Nevets Oftheplains song to me like it makes me feel a little insane... whatever *turns away and kicks the ground and glances at you demurely*

Suuuper rough sketches of all the Kin with speaking roles because I suck at drawing creatures and needed to fix that. Also because I hattteee how they looked in the anime like why did they have human hands and hair... NASTY THINGS... (some liberties taken with color) (In order: Merin, Crenn, Bruna, Alisa, Prin's mom, and Prin)

Sorry for deltoraposting. It will happen again!!!!!

Ok... Actually so fucked up that Lindal/Barda is the only m/f pairing that I've ever been truly invested in and they're literally just a forced-hetero-epilogue-couple from a children's book series. But the thing is: Lindal is huge and autistic and bald. Like I know she marries a man but she's genuinely better butch rep than 95% of attempts by other media. There. I said it. Lindal is a gnc genderfuck icon. The first ever woman to gay-marry a man. And I'm not even half-joking.

[having an argument w/ sister and college friend about the biggest animal we think we could kill in a fight]

"no, dude, you couldn't kill a capybara. you wouldn't want to kill a capybara. a capybara would look you in the eye and with its dying breath ask if you still wanted to be friends."

I told him "call jt immediately. I need to tell them 'dain moment' from the other side of the country"

In a body horror mood (as always) so here's some yucky sketchy stuff. Ol Barda death scene + my take on a reformed (???) Grey Guard (he's not actually a good person I don't think, more just that he's not following orders anymore lol) (the yellow stuff is solidified honey) (no real name for him rn I'm just calling him the Goo Guard) (he is several years expired and his skeleton has mostly been replaced by an enchanted wooden armature)

how on earth is barda as buff as we all assume he is when his only exercise in 16 years is babysitting his friends’ kid

sorceress thaegan gulps her favourite food in her cave with all her brood and the names of her children are hot, tod, rin, rod,  fee, fly, zan, zod, pik, snik, (dodododo) lun, lod, and of course the dreaded ichabod!
