thinking about ares and prim. thinking about suzanne collins' doomed by the narrative characters. characters who are set to die in the first book (ares' attempted banishment, prim's reaping) and it being avoided through the main character (gregor bonding to ares, katniss volunteering for prim) and how in the end, the third segment of each grand finale, they die anyway. ares is torn apart by what was, in the prophecy, supposed to kill gregor. prim is blown up by the rebellion katniss was fighting for. they die and it's brutal. it's pointless. and that's the point. thinking about "you'll have to let [ares] go yourself," the plastic toy bat, and "she's dead, you stupid cat," the primrose pressed in the pages of the book. thinking about characters who are fated to die.

Not only did Suzanne Collins deny us a prequel and sequel to Gregor the Overlander but she also denied us the fuck you brothers ares and Gregor the most unhinged Mfers in the whole underland. If given time the two of them would learn the most out of pocket whack ass fighting techniques, like falcon punching bitches while jumping off ares back, zig zag maneuvers, tucking and rolling and just bowling opponents down etc etc 
Ares is the Kaz brekker of the TUC universe and Gregor isn’t his Inej, no no no, he’s his Jesper, egging him on, loling in the background as ares rips out a dudes throat. Need I remind you ares is the MOST HATED BAT IN THE UNDERLAND AND REQUIRED A FUCKING PRINCE’S PROTECTION FROM THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF REGALIA/BAT/UNDERLAND RULES THAT HE BROKE (seriously Suzanne what did he do the people need to know)
Ares 100% lied to Gregor when he said he hadn’t killed anyone before, ares is fucking double the size of a normal underland bat, with all the rage of a chihuahua. He totally mocked rats/spinners/ everyone and would 100000000% rip their fucking eyeballs out while laughing if they were to mock him back. Ares is unhinged and so is Gregor and we were robbed.
In this essay I will…

"Look at the color of his skin Clawfang, dark and rich! You know what they say about the taste of those from above?"
Owen's mind reeled, not just at the danger he faced but also at the Rat's casual bigotry. It was absurd and terrifying all at once, a nightmare conversation he never could have imagined.
"True, Snarltooth. A rare delicacy this one." Clawfang agreed–his yellow teeth bared in a grotesque grin.
"–We should eat quickly though, can't risk more of his kind coming after us."
Greetings Overlanders!
What's up y'all, W.P.P here, (He/Him) and I'm currently looking for Beta Readers/Editors/Fans of The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins. To read/engage with and possibly even shoot some feedback on My Fan Novel/Fic.
It's a canon compliant Sequel-Boot of sorts and follows after Code Of Claw.
Tumblr media
Ok, pretty cover but what is it about?
Three years (gotta get our boys in that Classic High school setting huh?) After The War of Bane. Fragile peace exists in the Underland. But as is The Underland, one knows peace never lasts. Especially built on deception. When a conspiracy is exposed and the ghosts of beliefs thought lost to Time pervert the ideas of coexistince. Prophecy calls yet again for its Salvation. When you ignore and attempt to reject fate, it tends to mess back. Now, calling for The Seeker. A being who's destiny is forever tied to Bartholomew's hand of war and tribulation, to return The Warrior to The Underland, to save the realm together. However, there maybe key players, manipulating destiny from the shadows. One that will change Gregor's entire view of Prophecy, Regalia and Owen's life forever.
Woah, OC Alert 🚨 Who's Owen?
Here comes the ✨Boy✨ 🎹
Tumblr media
Meet you: Owen. "The Seeker"
15 year old Bronx native. A boxer, thanks to his dad. And quite the cook, thanks to his mother. It was their deaths, and the way the police handled them, that killed any respect for authority the boy had left. Owen is a resilient and resourceful teenager thrust into the extraordinary world of the Underland, where he faces trials that challenge his courage and determination. Despite his initial reluctance, Owen demonstrates a strong sense of compassion for others and a willingness to confront his fears head-on, although it takes him A MINUTE to get there. He possesses a sharp wit and a penchant for sarcasm, which often serves as a coping mechanism in the face of adversity. He's also 🏳️‍🌈 Queer 🏳️‍🌈.
let's talk Virtues and Vices?
Determination: Owen demonstrates a strong sense of determination, as evidenced by his resolve to survive and navigate the challenges presented to him in the Underland.
Courage: Despite facing daunting and unfamiliar situations, Owen exhibits courage by confronting his fears and taking action to protect himself and others. Albeit not without some coercing.
Compassion: Owen shows compassion towards others, such as when he expresses concern for the citizens of Regalia and reflects on the consequences of his actions on innocent lives.
Adaptability: Owen demonstrates adaptability by adjusting to his surroundings and learning to navigate the unfamiliar environment of the Underland.
And his vices?
Impulsiveness: Owen's impulsiveness is hinted at through his sarcastic remarks and tendency to act without fully considering the consequences of his actions. This impulsiveness could potentially lead him into trouble or exacerbate conflicts. It is this that sets off the entire Prophecy to begin with.
Self-Doubt: At times, Owen exhibits self-doubt, particularly when he questions his ability to fulfill the expectations placed upon him or doubts his capacity to make a difference in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Guilt: Owen struggles with feelings of guilt, especially regarding the unintended consequences of his actions, such as the destruction of the Prophecy of Time in the Underland. The source of his guilt extends from not being in the car when his parents died. Survivors guilt.
Owen definitely suffers from bouts of Imposter Syndrome and feelings of inadequacy, especially when comparing his experiences to Gregor's.
Oh God, it's not OC X Canon, is it?
Hey now! I'm not throwing any shade at OC X Canon shippers, I have a few ships in other fandoms that are essentially that. But no, Gregor & Luxa's Relationship while will be rocky in it's rekindling, are endgame. Also Gregor isn't remotely Owens type. No, Owen will have his own Underlander romantic interest. In fact, Meet you:
Tumblr media
Aiden: Luxa's personal guard, Archer, confidant, and best friend.
16, (what the hell are they feeding them nowadays down there, he's a brick house.) Aiden is Queen Luxa's personal body guard and closest friend. During the years after The War of Bane. When he discovers his family had planned a coup d'etat against the royal family, including catching his father about to kill Luxa, he draws his bow, taking his life and testifying against his family's quest for power. He's jailed for a time before Lord Vikus takes him in admiring his loyalty to the current crown and grooms him to protect Luxa, and to be there for her for when he eventually passes. He's arrogant, showboaty at times, and abrasive, especially when it comes to The Overland Boys. More specifically "The Mouthy Imp" known to him as Owen. He and Luxa are fairly close, to where rumors amongst Regalian council, and teen girls, are suggesting they are to be wed. Yeah, good luck with that ladies. 💅🏽
Oh so he's like Henry?
Some pretty decent comparisons and contrasting elements can be made between the two of them.
Both of them are/Were close to Luxa
Both of them can be described as Arrogant.
Both of them technically betrayed their families and believed they did so for a good reason.
Where as Henry was desperate for power, Aidens only motivation is to maintain peace for the Royal family and the Kingdom Of Regalia.
Personally, I don't believe Henry came up with his idea of Allying with King Gorger on his own. Nor do I think he's the only one after him who thinks that way. Listening to the Return to Regalia Podcast has helped provide some really dope questions about the landscape, geopolitical or otherwise, that are like alluded to, but never really expanded upon. That I wanna use this book to answer. Oona and the Gang have been a godsend for fic writers who are fans of the series.
If *insert character* isn't in it, I'm not reading it. 🤬
Guys, Of course Ripred is gonna be in the bo- Look, it's Canon Compliant alright 😅. Ive been listening to the series on Audiobook on loop for the last few weeks as I've been writing. I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding each characters voices, and how they think and speak. Remembering who was where when this or that happened. But Let's discuss some returning characters!
Boots: Now 6 years old, Boots has become quite the little person! Her affinity for taking animals hasnt gone anywhere, her most recent hyper fixation being a show about Australian talking dogs. A show Gregor has to admit, has it's moments.
Temp: The gangs back together! Thanks to his association with The Princess, Temp has become highly regarded amongst Crawlers. You and Boots will love the Set piece the Crawlers built in her honor.
Hazard: Now as old as Gregor was when he first arrived, The Halflander has been elevated to a role of diplomacy and interpretor liaison for dialogue between Underland Inhabitants. He carries a sword, for defensive combat. A sign of unavoidable circumstances, even with his fathers dying wish. A rebellious streak may in fact land him in potentially fatal trouble.
Howard:Luxa's Cousin and medical prodigy, makes him one of the most skilled Healers of all in Regalia. He's made it a personal mission to learn to Heal every species known to them in the Underland. As of late, he finds himself frequenting visits and courting with one of Regalias nanny's in the Nursery.
Dulcet: Dulcet is one of the nannies that works in Regalia's palace. She was the one that took care of Gregor's sister, Boots whenever they came to the Underland. She was one of Gregor's favorite Regalians. Sweet but embarrasses easily. Nowadays, especially around a certain Regalian healer. She isn't too sure, but he's been quite sweet to her as of late.
Mareth: Mareth has a good heart. He never stopped caring for those under his protection, and even for those that weren't. After his leg was removed, he still maintains his humor and kindness. He'll stick knock you out if you wild out too much. He and Perdita saw Aiden's training through in it's entirety. He's moved emotionally to see Gregor Return, however bittersweet it may be. Designated to be a bit more hands off, he still finds time to train the young soldiers of Regalia. His improved prosthetic affords much more mobility since his last interaction with Gregor.
Luxa: Hardened by her assassination attempt, the loss of her family and Gregor. Luxa is finally approaching the full cusps of uncontested power in Regalia. Her actions such as memorializing a controversial figure, as well as her Bond with Ripred has caused much dissenting opinions amongst factions of power in Regalia. There is a particular fear from her grandfather that she may be doomed to repeat history. Will Gregors return, spawn a change in Luxa? And is it safe to even find out?
The rest of Gregor's Family also make an appearance! Lizzie, Grace and Gregor's Dad. (Going with Dr.Elliot/Eli for short) all come back and influence the story in some Capacity.
Why is Gregor White/White Passing?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gonna level with y'all, I didn't really know about Tumblr like that. I'm a mixed race poc myself, and definitely lack Eurocentric features. I just was honestly basing his look off of what I've seen in the covers and alt editions of the series. Hell, Homie is even BLONDE in the Russian edition. Me and my partner also are a little too far into the story to match him up with the Headcanon of Tumblr. That being said, I do love POC Gregor, and will be maintaining that his dad is a person of color as well. Just have Gregor as yt passing presenting. It could also provide a bit of conflict between He and Owen. As Gregor's first descent is a lot more welcoming, Than what Owen goes through his first time down, starting from his initial fall.
So do The Warrior & The Seeker immediately hit it off?
Tumblr media
Yeaaaaahhhhhhh-no. Wouldn't be much of a story if the two became immediate besties. I couldn't imagine being too thrilled with the guy who's fault it is that you're even in this mess at all. Now who exactly I mean by that is what makes it fun. They need each other to make it through the quest. Over time however, they learn about each other, and how they can truly help one another. Eventually becoming close as their journey reaches its end and inklings of a new ones raises it's head. That being said, when he learns of Gregor and Luxa's relationship, or their past together. Is full team Gregor and Luxa. With Owens dating pool being non existent above and below (so he thinks) ground. He becomes invested in the possibility of Love blossoming at all, mostly to see Luxa pull the stick from out- know what, it's better to read it.
But the video though, what's that about?
For Nostalgia sake, as well as Accessibility reasons, I've been screening several actors and VA actors who would be down to do an audiobook! So it will be releasing as audiobook as well!
Hobbies aren't cheap but I love the series so much that I don't see why not 🤷🏽. I fell in love with the audiobooks so it'd be pretty cool to see it again.
In the same manner as Star Wars novels, where not every book is written by the same author-
I want readers to feel as if the baton was passed from Suzanne to yours truly 😅.
So Overlanders! Fans! If you're looking to beta read, I'm looking for Beta Readers ✨
Hope to hear from you all!
Fly you high! 🦇
Breezy Edit: Hey y'all, it's Breezy again, Just want to let y'all know, according to some of y'all what we're looking for are "alpha" readers. But beta readers still apply 🫰🏽💙

So you know that scene in HTTYD: Race to The Edge (dunno which episode or season) when Heather (I think) sneaks out and it's revealed that Toothless is hanging upside down near the entrance holding Hiccup in his wings?
Tumblr media
Well, what if in the Underland (TUC), they did that too. Like, they had to spy in a larger tunnel, so the bat would fly up and hang, and the rider would crawl around and chill on the bay's stomach, wings wrapped around them. Used for spying, or just a nice place to hide or something. I can see Gregor and Ares doing that

Back to that thread from months ago about Ripred and Gregor's dad being pen pals spiraling into having family dinner.
If they had family dinner with Ripred, they HAVE to with Ares. He's LITERALLY legally a part of their family and Gregor's brother.
Gregor's family actually getting to meet Ares.
Oh my gosh! Yes!
I’m just imagining Gregor’s mom trying to get her head around Ares and Gregor’s relationship with the whole bonds thing. Like, is he technically her son in law? Or her bond in law? Is that a thing??
And Ares trying to be on his best behaviour for the occasion (Ripred totally tries to sabotage that) because he wants to make good impression. Trying to remember everything Gregor has ever said about his family in order to piece together who is who and what conversation is appropriate. He’s vaguely aware Gregor has a grandma? Or is she the lady from downstairs... He doesn’t want to mess this up!

Could you just imagine Top Gear, but with Gregor, Ares and Ripred?
Ripred: How, in the name of all that is holy, did you manage to do that
Gregor, holding a baby Bane: ...well it's quite interesting, isn't it?
Ares, looking on with a look of mild apprehension/fear: Yes, it is

I love that Ares and Gregor are commonly depicted with this Hiccup and Toothless relationship or Percy and Blackjack but like in all reality this sweet goofy 12 year old is being piggy backed by this hulking terrifying fully sentient adult man that has almost zero moral reservations and is feared by almost everyone and for damn good reason. Ares just carries this kid metaphorically and literally and goes along with whatever bullshit they decide on cause. Like. Whatever, sure, we're bros let's do it.
He's a trained soldier who's been to battle and has killed and will do it again. He saw an infant rat pup and was like 'Oh thank fuck it's defenseless, let's just throw it in the river and be done.' And 'Oh shit it's a baby, my dumbass 11 year old bond with a heart of gold will never allow this oh fuck oh shit please no.'
He's ALSO such an attentive, comforting dude who knows how to handle distressed kids (COUGH HENRY COUGH) and really looks out for them and their peace of mind. Bro keeps his word and bro minds his vows religiously and NOT just out of legal obligation. He is above and beyond ride or die. He shares a braincell with a 12 year old New Yorker. If someone shoved the kid Ares wouldn't give two shits about ending their life. He's a huge asshole who can say things that destroy people but never lets Gregor see that side of him because like. He's Gregor's bond now and as a team they don't do that they gotta be nice. He has very few shits to give and he gave them all exclusively to like four or five people.
Ares is a sweety the way a 200lb guard dog is a sweety.

no you don’t understand it’s about how gregor and ares were the first to see cevian’s scythe and are marked for death. it’s about hazard saying frill outran the mites but his mother was bitten first and how gregor was saved but ares was struck before his human. and it’s about how ares specifically is close to death in every book! he’s almost banished in 1, almost executed 2, almost dead from the plague in 3, and killed in 5. book 4 is the only time we see ares live, he’s put into luxa and aurora’s care and he trains with gregor and he’s happier. but it’s about how by the time we see ares in book 4, pearlpelt has already fled and the war is already brewing, and the one hint of survival for ares only exists when we are not reading the books. and it’s about how everyone knows gregor is supposed to die and there is no situation where ares doesn’t follow gregor to kill the bane. in book 2 ares is prevented from following gregor into the cave where he thinks he will kill the bane and gregor says that it was always supposed to just be gregor and the bane, that ares would never be allowed into their final battle and then in book 5, ares dies before either of them, leaving no bond, just the warrior and the monster.

They passed a large statue of a bat, cast in what Owen assumed to be pure gold. It stood tall and prominent, its presence dominating the surrounding area. The perimeter of the statue was illuminated by ceremonious torches, casting a warm glow that made the gold gleam even brighter. Various trinkets and wreaths adorned the ground around it, offerings left by those who came to pay their respects. Its wings were spread out valiantly, a testament to its power and grace. Owen had to admit, it looked pretty cool. It reminded him of a statue in Alaska he had read about, where a sled dog had delivered medicine that saved the lives of many. That dog was memorialized in a similar fashion. His eyes scanned the plaque at the base of the statue, seeking the name of the artwork before him.
“Ares…” Owen breathed out. The name struck him with its significance. His voice was tinged with curiosity and reverence.
The figure beside him nodded, their voice imbued with respect.
"Ares was one of the greatest Flyers of Regalia, a legend among our guardians. His memory is honored here. Known not just for his unmatched skills in the air, Ares embodied the spirit of sacrifice and bravery that defines the true essence of a guardian. It's said that his feats were pivotal in safeguarding our realm during times of great peril. This statue is a tribute to his legacy, a reminder of the valor and dedication required to protect our lands, made sure by our Queen. As he was Bonds with Regalias Savior."
