Who do you think should have got married

[Mad Maudie]

they can be in different time periods
i think
Maudie and bucko
Dotti and buckler
Rose and Martin Dugh

[DanielofRedwall]

I'd never try to change anything in Redwall, especially not make characters marry! But, it would have been good to see Martin marry Rose, but that couldn't happen as then the book Mossflower would be ruined (Mossflower was written before Martin the Warrior, for those who didn't know). I always thought Uggo and Posybud were going to get married, but I don't remember that ever happening. And Mariel and Dandin.

[Log-a-Log]

I always thought Mariel and Dandin were going to get married

[Dotti]

I have been puzzled about that for a while, actually.  I suppose their relationship is more like that of Saro and Bragoon.  They're inseparable, but not in love.  Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.     Maudie, who is Buckler again?  I don't remember him......

[GeminyaTome]

Dotti and Buckler are in "Lord Brocktree". I thought that the twins were in love with her. I'm not sure.

[Nightfire]

Buckler is actually referring to Buckler Kordyne from Sable Quean, I think. I don't remember anyone called Buckler in Lord Brocktree, unless you're talking about the mole.

[Redwall Musician]

No, there was a Bucko in Lord Broktree. Buckler the mole was in Martin the Warrior. I believe what Maudie was saying that if they were in the same time period, they should have gotten married. I think Dotti had too many admirers (Bobweave, Southpaw) so she couldn't get married. Sometimes I think Bucko might have admired her too. But I like Dotti as is, not getting married.

[Dotti]

I think getting married would have....mellowed Dotti somehow, in a way that I wouldn't like. 

[Tiria Wildlough]

I really don't think like that. There was a thread like this on the Long Patrol Forums, and someone suggested Deyna and Tiria, but I don't like that, because I love Tiria, and not Deyna.

[Folgrimeo]

I was probably the one who suggested Deyna and Tiria (my two favorite otters). But those are across timelines, so that's impossible. I forget if Tiria and Leatho Shellhound ever got married, but I'm sure everyone would root for them to hook up.

Other than that I can't think of any interesting across-timeline pairings.

[Janglur Swifteye]

I think you mean Bucko, not Buckler. They were in 2 different books, y'see

[Tiria Wildlough]

I forget if Tiria and Leatho Shellhound ever got married, but I'm sure everyone would root for them to hook up.

Other than that I can't think of any interesting across-timeline pairings.

THEY DID NOT!!!
And what is your username on the Long Patrol Forums?

Ever since I read this topic, I've been wondering why the subject of main characters getting married was so disturbing to me.  For some reason, it really bothered me even though I couldn't think of a reason why.  Finally, tonight I remembered something that Gonff said from TLOL that explains it.  They were on their way back to Redwall, and Gonff was almost in tears he missed Columbine and Gonfflet so much.  He said something like, "I ain't the cheerful roving type anymore."  THAT'S what had been bothering me.  Once main creatures get married, they're not free to carry on the adventures that Redwall is all about.   Very, very few of the questers in any book are married.  Getting married is like retiring from the main stage of Redwall.  Gonff is the only character I can think of that came back from matrimony to play a large role again.  I'm kind of glad, then, that the books frequently end before any main characters (like Deyna, or Major Perigourd) get married because that would mean that their adventuresome days were at an end.
Phew! So glad I realized what it was.  I HATE it when I can't remember something.

[Mad Maudie]

that bothers me to like in Mattemeo. Mathias seems so old and not fun anymore. but i think that even people who get married can still have fun. i am talking about buckler in *The Sable queen*

[Dotti]

Yeah....and I hate how Mattimeo is a brat at the beginning (especially in the movie).    But yeah, married people can have fun (especially in real life!  I'm not saying that people shouldn't get married or anything.), just that they don't really go on epic quests like most main characters in Redwall do.
