Rewriting Secret of NIMH 2: My Style
Issa mess but here's my rewrite of The Sceret of NIMH 2. First let's change the title to something more adventurous because Timmy to the Rescue sounds lame. How does "Salvation of Thorn Valley" sound?
Second let's remove that dumb prophecy, it makes no sense and tbh Timmy didn't do anything to warrant the Chosen One. Instead his rivalry with Martin is given more focus.
The tone is still serious like the first movie but with more hints of romance. Dr. Valentine is the main villains overseeing all operations and a very intense final battle amidst a burning building. And lack of Jeremy until the finale also shows the darker tone compared to the canon sequel.
The new story is a blend of the movie's plot and the novel sequel Racso and The Rats of NIMH.
Just like canon the movie takes place 7-8 years after the original. Mrs. Brisby is a storyteller who doesn't care for pomp over her adventures. Her sons Martin and Timmy pursue different interests. Martin wants to be a warrior and spars a lot, while Timmy spends his time out exploring the woods collecting plants and rocks. Because of these differences the brothers tend to butt heads.
After a particularly rough argument ruins a ceremony meant for their mama, the frustrated woman sends her sons away for a few weeks in Thorn Valley so they can learn peace from Justin.
Thorn Valley is now a city populated by the mice of nimh and other intelligent animals. Timmy and Martin meets three other teens: Racso, a streetwise rat; Jenny a feisty female mouse, and their shy friend Maggie (an OC). These three work like a well oiled machine, unlike Martin and Timmy.
Timmy manages to adjust to Thorn Valley quite well but Martin's attitude makes him unpopular with the class, and even more unpopular with Racso.
Martin arrogantly assumes Maggie for her supposed boringness. During a fencing class Martin and Maggie are set to spar, Maggie shows great talent with a sword and beats martin. She goes over to him to help him up, but he ejects her, ashamed over losing to a girl. Maggie leaves disappointed prompting Justin to intervene and tell Martin he has to learn to work with others.
With Timmy while he adjusts to the city, he is problem to be something of a know it all, much to Jenny's annoyance. However she softens up after hearing about Timmy's past. She opens up about her own past as an orphan, her parents being the rats who died in NIMH.
The Thorn Valley council receives word that NIMH plans to build a dam. Justin and Brutus goes to stop them, Martin tries to go but is told to stay home. Justin tells them it be best to stay because martin's temper is a liability. That night Martin sneaks out of his dorm but is stopped by Timmy. Martin explains that he wants to prove his stuff but timmy said they need to follow orders. The two start bickering but then they see a weird shadow and run to see who it is. The shadow turns out to be Jenny, who also planned to sneak out. She wants to find her parents who she believes is still trapped in NIMH. Racso agrees to go with her since he knows the human city well. Timmy resigns and agrees to go on the condition that they need a medic. Maggie is the last to go because she fears for her friends' safety (and to spite Martin).
In the forest the five encounter threats like birds of prey and a rabid fox. At one point, martin and Maggie saves each other, resulting in mutual respect. Timmy also learns to trust Racso and Jenny and rely on his own strengths by identifying plants that could be useful for their journey. Jeremy takes them to see Cecil the Caterpillar. Cecil was an apprentice of Nicodemus who taken over after his death, he's comedic but is also wise. He tells the group that they need to find their worth outside petty squabbling and their father Jonathan would hate for his boys to be estranged. Feeling guilty, Timmy and Martin realize that they need to work together. Before the group leave, Cecil requests to talk to Racso privately. We don't know what he says to Racso but it is enough to leave the boy visibly shaken.
The quintet find a truck belonging to NIMH and hitch a ride on it. In the city Racso takes the group to the Underground where they meets up with his old friends the Savage Rats. The rats aren't as friendly towards the other four mice. However the rats are called off by none other than Racso's mother.
Racso's mom explains she and Jenner had a fling which resulted in Racso, but was separated after the first escape from NIMH. Racso corroborates her story and admits kept it a secret so his friends wouldn't judge him. Jenny replies she and Maggie will never judge him for his father's sins. Jenny glared at timmy and Martin daring them to disagree. Racso's mom easy she has no plans to leave the city but wants her son to pursue his own life. She adds she did meet some lovely male rats who Timmy realize she was referring to Justin and Brutus.
Things fall apart when Martin and Maggie are kidnapped by two cats, who take them to NIMH. Timmy, Jenny and Racso go and find Dr. Valentine has been conducting illegal experiments. They hatch a plan to free their friends, then they are discovered by Justin and Brutus. They're angry at the children's disobedience but Timmy tells them they got martin and maggie and they they know how to stop Valentine.
At NIMH Martin and Maggie find Jenny's parents who tell them Valentine is using the mice to create biological weapons. Valentine also oversees on creating a dam that could flood Thorn Valley. Martin uses his dagger to unlock the cage, and he and Maggie go about freeing tbe othet animals. As everyone make a run fir it, Valentine's cats Floyd and Muriel chase them. In an act of selflessness martin distracts the duo long enough to Maggie to escape. Martin is then brought back to be experimented on.
Timmy and Jenny meet the escaped animals and Maggie, who got the schematics.
The evil martin and timmy duel, while timmy holds his own for a bit the sheer strength from martin proves too much and he is knocked down. but just as evil martin is prepared to strike he notices the lack of fear in timmy's eyes. This causes an internal struggle as he starts to remember his brother, seeing this timmy loudly encourages martin to fight back against The brainwashing. Martin thrashed about and knocked himself out. When he comes to Timmy is tending to his wounds. Horrified at what he tried to to Martin somberly apologizes but Timmy says he doesn't hold it against him. No matter what happens they will always be brothers. The two make up and leave but Martin suggests staying to try to stop Valentine. With Justin and Brutus they managed to lure muriel and floyd to their deaths.
Racso publicly admits he is jenner's son and he doesn't care what they (the townsfolk) think of him because he has real friends who accept him no matter what. He begs them to save the judgement late and help him save the city. Together everyone starts to sabotage the machinery guerilla style using the schematics Maggie brought.
At NIMH the four mice try to flee suddenly Dr. Valentine arrives with a butcher's knife ready to kill them. Justin attempts to use the amulet but is knocked back, causing it to slip. The brisby boys scatter trying to avoid the blade but timmy sees that there is a live wire and as Valentine approaches, Martin bites the mad scientist causing him to stumble onto the wire, electrocuting him and shutting the motherboard down. They stare at Valentine's body for a bit then realize the fire is close and they escape. As fire engines circle around the building timmy and martin are outside and climb onboard Jeremy (who was flirting with female pigeons when he heard about tbe incident) and gets his bird friends to carry the mice back home.
Back in the valley, the kids are reprimanded for disobeying. Mrs. Brisby defends them and says they more than made up for it by saving the valley and the experiments. Racso & Martin bury the hatchet. Jenny reunites with her parents. Timmy and Martin are changed by the experienced Martin having taken a life deciding to use his strength to protect people, and Timmy decides to be a master healer. Maggie is gifted with her very own sword and she and Martin admit their feelings. A few weeks later everyone gathers in the valley to welcome the two statues of Jonathan and Mrs. Brisby.
Mrs. Brisby doesn't play much of a role here, but to be fair the same can be said about the books. But she does get full recognized as a hero, she's just more humble about it. I also decided not to use the amulet too much or else it may come off as a deus ex machina. i want to emphasize the characters' strengths and how they work together.
Maggie is an oc meant to be martin's love interest, i thought it make for a cute Parallel to timmy x jenny. Racso comes from Racso and the Rats of NIMH.

I haven’t seen anything of Burrows End yet, but man. There is just something that itches my brain with the idea of running Humblewood like it’s the Secrets of Nimh, or Warriors, or Watership Down. Let me be a woodland creature who’s had years of tradition handed down to me on the bedtime stories we were raised on as the threat of pollution looms over our grove in the shape of Tim Curry and looming industrial monstrosities.
I need a campaign like this like I need air. The warriors girl in my soul would die happy if I could.

Some random drawings.
Warlock is one of my favorite characters in The New Mutants comic. I love how expressive and abstract he is under Sienkiewicz's pencils.

MOUSE OC [part of a traditional illustration] 🧭🪡
Here's my mouse oc! They are still nameless, but have an entire world made for them. In this world a community of mice have organized their hierarchy and administrative functions with tags that each mice wears in order to be recognizer. My mouse is a messagger/arald. The first idea for the name was Marth, so let's call them Marth.
Marth is curious, a bit clumsy, chatty, and super nimble! Of course not as much as their friend...which I'll post as soon as possible! I’m reviewing it.
I took inspirations form the artist Ryota Murayama / Ovopack and his super cute mouse Mito. Check his profile! @ovopack ⬅️
Hope u enjoy! 🌻

(from arisenreborn) For both pairs if you feel up to it! Arisen #1, Arisen & Pawn #14, Misc. #4?
YAAAAY OK TY these are such fun ones....
Arisen 1 - Whether they remember or not, where are they from?
I'm trying to figure out Where exactly in the dd2 world Nimh is from, but somewhere in the wilds between Melve and Vernworth probably.... Just on some isolated farm in the world with her parents, close enough to be able to visit towns but also far enough away to often feel lonely and isolated.... She never visited the sacred arbor as a child despite having an elven father </3
Tenanye is originally from a little closed off mountain village called Spokespeak.... Then moves when she's like 10 or so to a place called Alicanth with only her father, bc her mother stays behind.... Both of these are original locations in dd1 world from my brain, but I made Spokespeak to be a place where the old god of the Dark element was worshiped and where dark sorceries were founded.... So it's a bit Mysterious and scary to those who don't live there....
Arisen & Pawn 14 - What do they bond most over?
Nimh and Lir probably bond most over the simple Fact of their relationship I feel like, and generally everything that goes on as they go through their journey.... But also, Nimh teaching him things like sewing or cooking, or how they both like comfort and coziness and simplicity, and also Helping people.... But a lot of their bonding also does come from quiet moments or the things that Aren't said too....
Tenanye and Maahes bond over their shared habits of pleasure-seeking and wanting to live a free and fun life.... They're both adventurous as well, and also kind of bond over mutually getting on each other's nerves as Enrichment. I think they also have fun bonding in battle together.... For a pawn that isn't even her main pawn and has also undergone some bestowal of spirit, they oddly work as a very well-oiled machine in battle.... He's the best pawn I have ever had at catching me when I jump off a cliff or fall LOL.
Misc 4 - Whether they’d still be together or separate - What kind of life would they be living if they were not Arisen and Pawn, but NPCs?
THIS ONE IS SO FUN AND CUTE with Nimh and Lir tbh.... I imagine since she grew up on a farm and would go to markets in town with her mom every so often, maybe Lir was a gentle and sweet farm boy she'd meet there.... I could see it for him. In an ideal world they'd still fall in love 🥰🥰 But I think Lir is someone who'd still be adventurous and helpful to those around him, and Nimh would probably keep being a sellsword or mercenary or general worker as she traveled to see the world too.... So I can see them crossing paths that way too!! I could definitely also see Lir becoming a knight of course....
Tenanye and Maahes definitely wouldn't be able to cross paths, but as for what their lives would be like.... That's SO hard. I wonder if Tenanye would've eventually been caught for the murder of her children if she didn't have a place to escape to lol.... She might've had to keep moving around. OR honestly I could see her and her bestie joining Ophis' girl bandit gang for SURE. But she would probably be a lot less happy overall.... As for Maahes hmmm.... Oh this is so hard.... If he was alive during current times he Would either be like a bordelrie worker OR if he really could manage it he'd be some ever so slightly over-indulgent noble aiming to be king or a lord someday lol.
