The Sable Quear

Honestly, it felt like a discussion the two of them would have. 🤣 my best regards to @incorrectredwallquotes, I hope you don’t mind me occasionally drawing these!

(There’s so many that I like it’s hard to choose what to draw)

I remembered this meme exists and IMMEDIATELY had to draw it.

I’ll never let it go that Martin did not use a shield 🤣 (lovingly). It’s probably my favorite continuity error, because it played such an important part in Redwall and then it simply just did not exist in Mossflower. (Oh yeah and the hip scabbard. He wears the blade on his back…???)

My headcanon is that it was a gift from Salamandastron, which is also why it has the big “M” on it. (It just doesn’t seem like Martin’s style to have a big M in anything he owns)

And just how did it get to be part of a puzzle built into the abbey?

SO GLAD YOU ASKED! I fully believe that Gonff had a paw in making the whole riddle to where the sword was hidden. (And in other ways, he’s the one in the ghost world writing all the dream riddles/poems that Ghost!Martin delivers…there’s no way Martin is writing all of those.)

I’m here with more Dark Forest comics to give us the closure we didn’t know we wanted. At least what I wanted. I have a lot of feelings about Luke.

I just want Martin to have some closure and be happy in his afterlife. He sort of got it at the end of Legend of Luke, but it felt like more the grieving a family he never got to know, and reaching peace with that.

Meanwhile, there’s Gonff in the background…

I absolutely loved the idea of characters hanging out in the Dark Forest/Afterlife so I *HAD* to draw them meeting up.

Would Martin still try to keep his past a secret? Oh absolutely. Will it work? Not with Gonff floating around there!

And yes, while Martin was keeping Noonvale a secret, and not being over what happened, I also believe he didn’t want to tell because Gonff can be very dramatic.

I also drew some very great faces I liked, so enjoy these zoom ins:
