Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I got to meet Brian when I was 7. I don't have loads of super clear memories of that period of my life, but I remember every second of our very short conversation. Still have a map of Redwall with his signature and a short message somewhere. I shed a lot of the stuff from my childhood but I'd never get rid of that.

What a treasure!

I was thinking the same thing, I'm watching through the show as source material for my Pathfinder campaign

Read through much of these with my son as he was growing up, and they’re fairly formulaic BUT in a way that feels fresh each time.

Such good books. Netflix had the rights to make shows … but here we are a decade later with nothing.

Mr. Bunnys even has Martin and Matthias and Queen Warbeak as some of our faves

My own proposal -

Mice: Hobbit

Rats: Human

Hamsters: Goblins

Rabbits: Elves

Ferrets: Faerie

Moles: Dwarves

Guinea Pigs: Orcs

Capybaras: Cloud Giants

I like this a lot better. I’m going to start telling people I have the two cutest elves at home 💚

yeah rats are 100% human, we're both basically defined by our sociality and can step off a boat on a random island and it'll have a population of 10'000 by the end of the decade

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Beavers? Storm giants?

[–] crayons_to_chaos@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Some of y'all never read Redwall and it shows.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Surely rats would be the human analogue in this scenario, and fancy rats would be elves?

Now, someone do this Lord of the Rings remake.

The Silmousillion.

Guineadalf piloting Frodo (hobbits are capybara) ratatouille-style to carry the ring.

laughs in Redwall

Of all forest animals, the cutest fluffiest prey creature is the orc?

And don't say they were sticking to rodents

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're all very cute! I was actually thinking rabbits are quite a bit bigger than rats, I wasn't sure orcs were big enough...

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'd go with like....skunk because orcs stink. Raccoon or badger for size

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rats are Elf mice.

Ok, rats are like elves to mice, so far, so good.

Mice are rat Hobbits.

...mice are like rats to hobbits?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Rats perceive mice as hobbits

[–] DespairSquid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So are moles the aliens then?

And what about voles?

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 weeks ago

Voles are clearly svirfneblin.
