Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest--
alright! so! early robin hood ballads and narratives don't have an origin story for little john, but a later ballad (robin hood and little john) does. they fight on a bridge in it, but I like looking at illustrations, so I've swapped out the bridge for that tree peaking out of the panel in the first panel bc I enjoy louis rhead's illustrations a lot.
this is some kind of introduction scene after they fight and climb out of the river!

Robin Hood and Little John, walking through the forest
Laughing back and forth at what the other'n has to say
Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day
HE LOVES BETTER ROBIN HOOD THAN HE DOES EACH OF US
The text in the illustration is from Robin Hood and the Monk because I was reading a book on interpretations of medieval violence and went back to re read Robin Hood and the Monk, and oh boy. Little John and Robin Hood. they sure are a pair!!
John Brady out here just hoping his sister is doing okay…..

John Egan immediately being a menace (affectionately) and cuddling w/Ida Brady
I legitimately have brain rot from your integrated AU and I love it so much 😭😭🤍
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again!!
-memes/media that center around my universes?! A love lanaguge like no other, one that turns me into a maniacal giggler and hair twirler. Because you’re so spot on and after debating wether to be subtle with this in the fic?? I’ve decided nah. It’s a full on thing and we are gonna have a blast about it. Unleash the Egan.
