Just the act, the demonstration of how much Gregor loves Boots, how much he takes care of her, is so powerful. You can see this in how Hazard and Luxa use them as reference for their relationship.
I think that Luxa was always a little jealous of Gregor having a sister, and I think it was seeing how they were with each other that made it easier for her to reach out to Hazard. It’s a good example of how just loving someone can spill over onto other people without you even knowing.

Here’s the playlist for Curse of the Warmbloods! I’m traveling right now so I haven’t been able to write out my explanations yet, but they should be up on Monday-ish :)

"We thought you dead, too, Luxa. And perhaps better you were, if you can so unflinchingly watch the death of your comrades."
Good lord, Hamnet

"Beware, Underlanders, time hangs by a thread..."
hello hello! this september 1st marks the 20 year anniversary of gregor the overlander, the first book in the underland chronicles series by suzanne collins! i wanted to do something special to celebrate and i thought a little (re)read event would be a lot of fun!

Aug. 7th-11th --- Gregor the Overlander
Aug. 12th-16th --- Prophecy of Bane
Aug 17th-21st --- Curse of the Warmbloods
Aug 22nd-26th --- Marks of Secret

Im going to try my best to keep this chronological, but it might bounce around some.
We need to talk about Hamnet.
Hamnet, a classic example of a Middle child, who only escapes Middle child Syndrome by being the only son.
Hamnet, a twin who ultimately abandons everything to prioritize himself.
This is a man, who had he kept on the path of the warrior, would not only surpass his Mother, The canonical Greatest (Human) Warrior of her Time, but would Rival Ripred, a Rager. To elaborate, we know that Hamnet was commanding armies before 25 (rough estimate), and we know the Regalians are a Meritocracy to a degree so that has weight. He survives in the Deadlands and the Jungle for 10 years. I his first encounter with Humans in a decade, He displays incredible feats of strength. He disarms and disables one guard, throwing a sword hard enough to embed it in stone, and has a substantial vertical leap, high enough to give him the leverage to drag the other guard off his bat, and pinning him to the ground.
These guards by the way, were Solovets personal guard, most likely Horatio and Marcus, who are skilled enough to be trusted to guard Gregor, a Rager.
He routinely displays reflexes to match Ripred in speed, and when finally forced to fight, he holds the line until the Cutters pass. He ultimately falls, but he saw it through.
Which brings me to the main point.
"I do no more Harm."
Hamnet lasts a full Month in Solovets Dungeon before breaking.
After he breaks, he leads the attack on the Garden. Its only once the rats begin to turn the tide, does he resort to opening the dam, and its only the years of Neglect that the Dam crumbles under the pressure, resulting in the massacre, and the destruction of the garden.
Even in his darkest moment, Hamnet still fights to save as many lives as he can, regardless of species, at the cost of his Bond, and he would continue to fight until Mareth would literally knock him unconscious to bring him home.
Hamareth. After a decade, hearing Mareths name is enough to send Hamnet into emotional turmoil. Later, when asked about Hamnet, Mareth responds similarly, whether they were close friends who experience the brotherhood of War, or more, their bond is undeniable.
In closing, while he is only in half the book, Hamnet is one of the most complicated, deep, and impactful characters in a series full of them.
Put respect on his name, and support the Hamareth Agenda.

Ripred would absolutely be micromanaging the squad in the jungle and making sure no one touched anything, made a sound, etc etc.
But he would absolutely slap a snake in the face if it was in striking distance, no matter the size. He’s walking here.
HE can slap whatever he wants in the jungle but nobody else.

Cartoon Series Pt. 3 | Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods
This is part 3 in an art series for TUC!! I will probably do one wallpaper for every book/quest. Are you interested in seeing more of these? You can find parts 1+2 on my profile, btw!
Yes, the style is close to Phineas and Ferb; Idk why but, for some reason, I fell in love with the way the characters look in this style.
Disclaimer: the bg is a stock image; the rest is drawn by me!
