The European mole is well adapted to its fossorial lifestyle. It has small recessed eyes, a cylindrical body, and prominent sensory whiskers. Their front limbs have five extremely strong claws that are angled outward. Although gardeners have traditionally hated the sight of a mole hill, their presence indicates a thriving garden with a healthy ecosystem.

Let's be honest with ourselves, the reason Brian Jacques is gently criticized today instead of ripped to shreds is because he never discovered social media, never wrote on anything that wasn't a typewriter, and spent his final years never saying anything or doing anything.

watching the redwall cartoon and contemplating scale. you have mice and squirrels and badgers and stuff that are mostly to scale with each other, the bigger animals are just like taller people (constance is a bit small for a badger but she's bigger than anyone else so i'll let it slide) and they're all inches tall and they all live in an abbey that they built to their own scale

but then you have like the owl and the cat which are also to scale, like a foot tall presumably and the cat lives in a barn that's like. human scale? like a human built it for their own purposes and it's probably dozens of feet tall. there's also a big fish that's the size of an entire mouse that they catch. obligatory goofy/pluto problem for why this fish isn't sentient but whatever

BUT THEN ALSO THE RATS RIDE TINY HORSES?

I'm currently rereading Redwall

I read it over 20 years ago and felt like revisiting. As a child I loved how sweet and cute the mice were and how astonishingly violent the fights were. As an adult I have two observations;

1, Constance the Badger is still the best girl and star of the day.

2, Cluny sucks.

So...I was a big Redwall kid and have been revisiting the books recently. I made this side blog today in hopes of finding a place to engage with others about them.

If you know of any blogs that have a lot of Redwall content (including your own), I'd love to check them out! Thanks!

#my main blog isnt a secret i just want to make this place look nicer with original art before i go linking them together #redwall fandom #redwall

I had a gum surgery a few days ago, and so far in recovery period have really embraced what feels a sort of luxurious Redwall Abbey lifestyle, padding around in a complete vintage cashmere outfit and felted wool slippers while sipping my herbalist friend’s bee balm, yarrow, and wild mint tea for their natural wound-healing astringents. It came to pass actually, deeply pleasing for multiple reasons, that I was only finally able to get some bleeding to stop the first day with my post-op paperwork's suggestion of applying pressure not just with gauze but gauze wrapped around a moistened tea bag. Sir, it’s the tannins! Oh Numi white rose, you've always been my girl.

The other thing I’ve been doing is being rather stoned on clinical grade opiates and marathoning M*A*S*H (1972-1983)

This sort of thing--

--has also actually been quite relatable to my luxe mole life this weekend. Again: dulled background pain, consciously pursuing luxury. You can't cope if you ain't cute, et cetera.

Recommendations:

recycled cashmere lounge pants, ludicrous indulgence, have improved my life untold measures

tea light candles every night

infuse the melted butter and milk with 4-5 sage leaves when making mashed potatoes

dark iron grey hair as a look (Alan, it’s lovely)

and a holdover from Halloween: hot mulled apple cider (the soft American-Canadian kind), shot of whiskey, whipped cream, drizzle of maple syrup

Bon afternoon, more later maybe

[olderthannetfic]

I recently came across an anti ao3 blog and the pinned post was an essay about how being exposed to sexual content as a teenager gave them ptsd and an older user “groomed” them. And like the screenshots they showed were maybe a little inappropriate but not anything near grooming.

They also claimed they were traumatized by a thorki fic that they claimed had a graphic rape scene so of course I looked it up and it was like mildly kinky with the characters giving full consent. The fic was tagged with the ship and rated E.

Like, it’s not possible to be traumatized by a fic. I’ve read books and seen movies I thought were disturbing or emotionally difficult that lingered in my mind. I’ve read books that gave me nightmares (my meds make me more susceptible to vivid dreams). None of that is trauma. When I was 14 I came across the story Guts by chuck palahnuik bc someone in the redwall forum I was on posted it and this was before tws or cws were prevalent. And guess what I lived lmao

Genuinely if you can’t handle your emotions about fic you either shouldn’t read it or get mommy or daddy to preview it for you

--

TBH, I have no idea what all can cause lingering trauma. Brains are weird.

But I too have seen such blogs including probably that exact one, and it's tragic how much they don't get what actually happened to them. Typically (and definitely for that one if I'm thinking of the same one), they were a dumb 14-year-old who wanted attention, and they kept doing more and more things that made them uncomfortable, like writing more sexual fic than they wanted to or staying in conversations about dark or sexual topics or consuming some media because someone dared them to.

If they'd had a decent adult around to talk to, maybe they'd have learned the ability to say "no" or maybe they wouldn't have been so desperate for attention and validation from randos or maybe they could at least have processed the experience in a useful way. But they didn't.

The Big OSR Post

What better way to close out the blog's first month but with a huge repository of fun OSR games? I'm not personally a huge fan, but I understand this is a genre people really enjoy, so as a compromise, I'll do every OSR submitted in a masterpost. I understand this is probably a pretty controversial move, but I simply think the genre's too similar to each other, I might be wrong but that's just the vibe I get! I'm sure there's some very fun and creative OSRs out there, they're just not made for me. I'll keep myself from sharing my thoughts on the genre for now, but rest assure these are cool games recommended by people who actually enjoy the genre!

Well, except this one:

Trespasser is really good. It's a mix of the Combat of 4e, with the dungeon crawling, character creation, and general vibe of OSR, it's a really good time, and its a high recommend from me personally Now on to the list of games actually by people who care about OSR:

This one's a very very popular one, Mausritter is based on stuff like Redwall, and it's chock full of incredibly high quality fanmade content, if you want an OSR where you play as a little rat, check this one out

This one's pretty interesting, I was debating giving it its own post because it just breaks so many OSR conventions but it calls itself an OSR, so in here it goes ig. Fist is a game that takes the narrative first approach of a PBTA game, but combines it with lightning speed disposable character creation, to truly give you the experience of being an expendable mercenary going against unfathomable odds. This game's pretty fun, I'd check it out even if you're not into the OSR genre

this one's pretty popular, Electric Bastionland is a simple OSR that focuses on exploring a huge underground city, its very rules lite so you can usually get up and running with it pretty quick so go check it out if you want a simpler game

https://punkpadour.itch.io/yokai-hunter

Yokai Hunter's Society, its a good rules light game, a recommend if you want to hunt weird folkloric monsters

https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/399483/Into-the-Odd--Remastered

This one's not on itch so sorry if you're allergic to non-itch.io websites

it's set in an underground society where one explores to find treasure. its a good fun time for all involved

look the tone isn't because i dislike these games, its because i wrote this entire post once and then tumblr glitched and made me lose all of it

https://emielboven.itch.io/tea-01

the setting's really fun, and the rules are lite, it's a good time. The setting is specifically based on Morrowind, Dark Sun, and other weird fiction.

https://graculusdroog.itch.io/vaults-of-vaarn

Vaults of Vaarn is a psychodelic ttrpg set in a postapocalyptic earth, its weird, fun, and also i believe its like entirely hand drawn which really adds to the aesthetic

https://tuesdayknightgames.itch.io/mothership-players-survival-guide

Mothership is a space horror OSR, its a biiiit more complex than the other ones, but its also got a shit ton of fan resources, and its also pretty basic in its character creation to make up for it

https://diogo-old-skull.itch.io/primal-quest-essentials

I got this one in a bundle actually

While the rules weren't for me, I think the setting is really cool, stone age fantasy is just really underrated as a concept, we need more of it!

We Deal in Lead is a weird west ttrpg, so if you're into that aesthetic, go check it out. its focused on exploration and player choice, and it can also be played with only one or two players

Beetle Knight is cool, its set in a tiny world where bugs are an organized society, think hollow knight, it's not out just yet, but its something to keep an eye on

OK I've actually PLAYED this one, so I can have an opinion on it: the WIthout Number series isn't great. BUT, there's a few rules which are ridiculously fun and well designed, so I honestly think this is a YMMV franchise. the biggest issue is how the rolling for HP works, if you can fix that, they're perfectly acceptable OSR games

Songbirds 3e is a surrealist game about being chosen (Or cursed) by death to help spirits passing on, when spirits are left stuck on earth they grow more and more monstrous every day, and its YOUR job to stop them from growing into a problem, no pressure. https://davidblandy.itch.io/lost-eons

Lost Eons is neat, its a game set in a solarpunk post apocalypse where magic's all around and actively mutating everyone around. It's got a cool post human look at the world, fairly simple yet fun rules, weird and interesting spellcasting rules, and more!

Knave is a streamlined classless OSR game, i heard a lot about this one and from what I can read its actually a really fun time, so check it out https://yochaigal.itch.io/cairn

(these last two go together since they're both Knave derivatives just with different settings and some more interesting mechanics) https://killjestergames.itch.io/errant this game was pitched to me as "Maximalist second only to literally just D&D 1e hacks", so thats about as much of a pitch most people really need. It actually looks pretty interesting

https://gormengeist.itch.io/greed

GREED or: Oil for the Blood God! It's an intensely surreal game by @gormengeist, its from what I can tell a sort of deconstruction of the OSR genre of game, so definitely a bit more on the niche side, but its fairly interesting and well designed

Does anyone know if there’s ever been an attempt at brewing October Ale according to the song in the book, meaning it wasn’t:

A. Whatever beer the author felt like drinking that day and then calling October Ale

B. Kool-Aid mix and Sprite?
