Getting hype as gently caress at the hedgehogs with battle armor and the legendary fox or whatever the hell happened I dunno it's been a really long time since I read it but I remember thinking it was the sickest poo poo ever as a kid.

"Wow, this dude really likes writing about food" is my main take away from the few Redwall books my friend who was obsessed with the series convinced me to read.

Scones and hotroot shrimp soup. I could not stop reading Redwall in jr. high. Long Patrol and Mossflower were the best IMO.

Hmm "vittiles" is a really cool word I'm going to use it at every opportunity when I talk about food so people know how cool I am then I'm gonna ask my mom to buy me a sword so I can be just like Martin!

The Redwall series consists of exactly two books, Redwall and Redwall But Slightly Different, but for some reason they wound up publishing the second book under a lot of different names.

when i was in high school there was this kid who was i guess you'd say troubled and he was obsessed with the redwall books. he'd insist he was a squirrel, take off his shoes and jump across the desks, or run outside and start trying to climb the trees.

getting a very clear message from reading these books... that people should be judged not on their actions, but on their appearance. ok. i can work with this.

I actually have the vast majority of the series even to this day. I'm just missing 4/22 books to complete the collection. A guilty pleasure of mine the past couple years has been going back and re-reading them in release order. I'm not too far into this goal, but hopefully I'll acquire the missing books before I get to their places in the chronology.

Best part of every book was the bit five chapters before the end when Generic Badger and Hare turn up to solve all the problems by hulking out and murdering everybody

im trying to remember what i even remember at all having read like 12 of these shits. first book had the rat in the snake hole with his sword--visualizing that as a kid was cool. and mossflower had a prison camp, right? i think my favorite book had some battle by a lighthouse.

I think I only read the first one but my lasting memory was climbing some church tower to get to the bell and being attacked by a bunch of bitchass birds I think? Honestly I have no idea it was like 25 years ago at this point lmao.

Despite having no firm memories about Redwall other than the aforementioned "Wow, this dude likes writing about food", I think Redwall is why I now have the rulebook for Burrows & Badgers on my shelf of wargame and RPG rulesets I'll probably never get around to playing.

it's 1999 and i am in 4th grade just plowing through redwall books entirely out of order because I don't even understand that there's an order you have to read them in. i don't understand the badgers. I have picked up that they are extremely cool, and I understand that this is some kind of accent, but I don't know what the hell they're talking about. One weekend my mom goes on a business trip. my dad shows me Braveheart. It all comes together.

redwall was a watershed moment in my young life because the 9999 page food descriptions got me to recognize the thing I was reading was a work by an author rather than just being absorbed in the story as a thing that existed independently of anything in my world. I have a very distinct memory of sitting on my bunk bed and thinking like "man this guy loves writing about food", a thought totally orthogonal to anything I had thought about stories before. thank you brian jacks for introducing me to the world of literary criticism because you couldn't finish a chapter without talking about all the different types of baked goods voles love to eat

The first Redwall book I read was Martin the Warrior, in 4th grade and it had the illest loving cover. There was this store in Peddler's Village that sold little trinkety things and I made my mom get me these mouse statues and one was a little guy holding a toothpick through an olive like a sword and in my head that was Martin the Warrior. The snow scenes were the coziest. Frost on whiskers & raspberry cordial and poo poo. Yeah

as i kid i had no real idea of the wildly different sizes of different animals in redwall. like sure, a mouse and a rat are basically the same? a stoat and a weasel and a fox are only a bit different? how big are badgers, anyway?
