I just don't even have WORDS
Mar. 8th, 2010 09:44 amI don't think I've been this pissed off and devestated in years. At least, I can't remember being this pissed off and devestated in recent memory.
I just, don't even know. It's just about brought me to tears, which is silly and kind of pathetic, but goddammit.
I learned just last night that my town, my home town, The town I am dwelling within right now, hosted a Winter faire for Redwall.
I have been a fan of Redwall since I was in middle school. I have zealously read and collected every single book that has come out. There are like twenty of them. (Excepting the extra books, which I'd also like to get given the chance.)
It could be said that I love Redwall. It could also be said that it's my favorite novel series. Brian Jacques could be said to be one of my all time favorite authors.
I, in all my hermit glory, would have been all over this event. I would have gone to everything I could have in the two bloody days it was going.
I just don't even know how to express my upset.
And, you know, my mom knew it was happening. Or, at least, she knew some of it was. I asked her about it this morning and she tells me "I didn't think you were still interested in that. I thought you'd outgrown it."
Uhm. What?
I... I have an entire shelf on my bookshelf dedicated only to Redwall novels. I am also the same daughter who still buys the Land Before Time movies even though they're increasingly stupid and junvenile simply because I've been in love with the series for as long as I can remember. I am the same daughter who routinely draws fan art for The Lion King and keeps a stack of disney movies within reach for easy watching.
Since when does it seem likely that I'm going to outgrow my love of Redwall?
"You don't like Harry Potter anymore."
Yes, well I also think that JKR can't write her way out of a wet paper bag, but Brian Jacques knows what he's doing. Formulaic, maybe, but he does it well.
I love Redwall. I will probably always love Redwall. Nothing is going to change that.
