I can be normal about Vilaya (lie)

Zwilt The Shade and Vilaya  from “The Sable Quean”.

Ok Jumblr,

Can I headcannon a character as Jewish even though they’re fairly explicitly not Jewish?

For context, this is Cornflower Fieldmouse

She lives next to Redwall Abbey, and her husband Matthias is an apprentice monk there when they meet.

Later he becomes a warrior but stays tied to the abbey and swears to protect them. So basically he’s still a monk but he’s a warrior monk now.

They have a kid later, which breaks the vow of celibacy, but this is never addressed so I assume he’s just exempt because he’s a ✨warrior monk✨ (it’s possible this is talked about in the later books as I’ve only read the first two out of twelve as well as seeing all three seasons of the show).

But anyway, it is a CRIME that this woman is not Jewish. Can she be Jewish in my heart, as a treat? Or would that be weird because she’s very heavily implied to be a mouse Christian? (Jesus is never mentioned, the devil is implied through Cluny the Scourge, and they mention G-d in passing, but the only other biblical adjacent figure is Martin the Warrior who is Matthias’ predecessor)

I love this omg,,, kinda wanna draw him with a pride flag ngl. Maybe a human version? Idk m8

Guess I just have a fondness for heroes' that started too young, lost their whole families because of the baddie, went on grand adventures that took them over the world, met a girl who they associate strongly with a particular flower but who then dies and leaves them embittered and hurting as they continue to wander the world, searching for a purpose or just waiting to be killed, only to eventually find life again when some Dorky Little Guy with a Gimmick (and perhaps is somewhat dishonest but on the whole very polite about it) who then prompts them to take another journey at the end of which they decide to settle down and just try to enjoy life

They do not, of course, get to enjoy a totally peaceful life, but it's okay because they need the enrichment sometimes <3

They then go on to become a well storied hero that is spoken of widely throughout the rest of whatever series of media they feature in, naturally.

Someone already said this but this absolutely applies to Bragoon and Saro as well

Mariel is aroace. Dandin is aroace. They are queerplatonic partners. Next question.

👏👏👏

No b/c seriously while I hate that she was added really just to serve as tension between Matthias and Cornflower’s relationship (pls we absolutely did not need that), Wild Ivy herself is a very cool character and I love her dearly.

ARE WE REALLY SLEEPING ON WILD IVY

Tarquin: If a beautiful woman disagrees with me I will immediately change my views. I have no principles.

Rosie: Well, maybe you should have principles.

Tarquin: You're right maybe I should.
