All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Richard Adams, Watership Down

“There is not a day or night but a doe offers her life for her kittens, or some honest captain of Owsla his life for his Chief Rabbit’s. Sometimes it is taken, sometimes it is not. But there is no bargain, for here, what is, is what must be.” -Watership down by Richard Adams Prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1527275745/

HOLY FUCK THIS GIANT ASS PROJECT IS FINALLY DONE
For a long while I've been inspired to do my own designs for Watership Down characters so here's a massive post of just that. Some designs are taken directly from various animated adaptations with no changes, some are a mix of various canon designs, and some are just entirely designed by me from scratch.
And yes I know there's a crap ton more characters in the book I didn't include (especially the Efrafans) but I can only narrow down my choices to so many so just bear with me. Who knows, maybe I'll continue this design series with even more characters someday

Am I the only one who absolutely adored the Netflix adaptation?

Rabbits need dignity and, above all, the will to accept their fate.

“The book’s message is simple but powerful: the world can be a dangerous place, and there is no one coming to save you. Yet in kindness, courage, integrity, and community we find our hope. Most of us can’t be Bigwig, but Hazel, the true hero, is within reach of anyone willing to try to care for those around them, to make the world a better place.”
—Madeline Miller in her Introduction to the 50th Anniversary edition of “Watership Down” by Richard Adams

Jason Todd as Quotes from Watership Down by Richard Adams
"He was a fighting animal—fierce as a rat or a dog. He fought because he actually felt safer fighting than running. He was brave, all right. But it wasn’t natural; and that’s why it was bound to finish him in the end."
"Like the pain of a bad wound, the effect of a deep shock takes some while to be felt. When a child is told, for the first time in his life, that a person he has known is dead, although he does not disbelieve it, he may well fail to comprehend it and later ask--perhaps more than once--where the dead person is and when he is coming back."
"It was just because we were in their way. They killed us to suit themselves."
"Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it. For them there is no winter food problem. They have fires and warm clothes. The winter cannot hurt them and therefore increases their sense of cleverness and security."
