Okay, when I first saw the WFS short and show, I was a little mad that Peet’s (or Artham’s, whichever you prefer) eyes were mismatched. (One was a brownish-yellow…? and the other was blue.) It is clearly said in OtEotDSoD, chapter four (Peet’s Castle), page 177 (yes, I actually looked this up😂): “His eyes were deep and blue, and they shone like jewels.”
(Jewels of Anniera???🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔)
(Jkjkjk I don’t think we would consider Artham and Esben to be Jewels ((if we are defining “Jewels of Anniera” to be ones that can open the Fane of Fire)) since they don’t have a third sibling.)
But I had a thought.
What if the artists were just trying to visibly display another form of his Fangishness without (what’s beneath) the socks? Let’s suppose that the hawk (show-wise, fire hawk, if you’ve seen season two) had brownish-yellow-coloured eyes? We already read in the books that Kalmar’s eyes turn yellow after he’s Fanged, and sometimes when the Fangishness took over him, there were flecks of yellow. When he was in his right mind, they were blue.
What if, because Artham (Peet) is caught in between, one eye changed and the other did it? Like the mismatched colours are a way of showing him being torn between man and Fang?
Mind you, I haven’t asked Andrew Peterson or Chris Wall this, and I don’t know if anyone has asked them this question before. I mean… Artham’s eye colour(s) is not really THAT important…😅
And if this has been posted on before, I’m sorry. I had no intention of copying😭
Hopefully this satisfies whatever questions you had about Artham’s eye colour(s)?😂 Tell me what y’all think, or if this theory is crazy. There are some crazy things rattling around my brain (which is why I joined TTH).
Also…
FANGS ARE UGLY!
That makes a lot of sense!
That's a very good theory!!
I think you are right about why they chose to give him mismatched eyes in the animated series and the short.
Additionally, someone asked if Peet was born that way on a live stream, and Chris Wall answered that he was not born with two different colored eyes, so I think that supports your theory.
Brownish-yellow? I always thought his other eye was red in the show o_o
But yeah you're probably right, they can't directly tell us as much in the show so they have to use more visual cues like that
I've noticed that! I remember rereading the books and noticing that it says Peet's eyes are blue, which of course contradicts how he's shown in the show.
But I think you're right about why they gave him two different colored eyes in the show! In one of the livestreams, someone asked if Artham was born with two different colored eyes, and Andrew Peterson answered that no, he wasn't! This must be because of his partial fanging!
Of course major details like the color of character's eyes are important! Absolutely crucial! 😂 I love looking up all the random stuff about these books... now if someone could just find me some information in the books about Janner's eye color, I'd be very happy!
Fangs are definitely ugly!!!
Was Kal ugly?
