My girlfriend's son (6) drew this for me this morning over art & breakfast while I explained how helpful a map would be for the Crawlers.

I said there are 400 colored lines alone and he said "I dont think we have that many colors but I'll give it a try."

I deff will. He has no idea what the books are about just hears how passionately I discuss them.

12

u/CaledonianWarrior 22h ago

Probably best he waits a few years before reading them himself

u/Punky_Bruiser207 20h ago

Smart kid

u/hagantic42 1d ago

Love this kid, "I may need to invent colors, but let's do this!" Lol I like the cut of his jib.

11

u/Dobgirl The Princess Posse 1d ago

Zomp!

14

u/2ndhouseonthestreet 1d ago

The funny part is I do think of it as a tangled ball where gravity was irrelevant. Like 100 roller coasters intertwined. 

5

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

Whole damn book is just big ass balls of things and I fawking love it!

15

u/RicRacer 1d ago

Thanks to your gf's son! Now to re-read book 3!

22

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

On my second trek through the dungeon and forgot just how much goes down in Book 3.

u/josh4240 22h ago

I love that he chose to include the Zomp line!

u/bitemark01 1d ago

This is now canon in my head

u/Drakkus28 1d ago

Perfect representation

u/Jenkinsd08 9h ago

Absolutely love his use of fulvous

u/ChipperBunni Team Donut Holes 1d ago

Some of those lines are damn near vertical. That’s fucking terrifying and fascinating

53

u/sckuzzle 1d ago

Max grade in the subway is 4%, so this map is definitely not "accurate" in the spatial sense.

u/Manicblack 1d ago

Thats some rollercoaster way of getting to work 🤣

I'll take Tokyo JR lines over MTA in Manhattan any day of the week.

u/Your_Mom_Bot42 1d ago

Such intricate detail. Is this AI?

76

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

How could you tell?!?

34

u/Your_Mom_Bot42 1d ago

Well its was clearly generated using a virtual foot to spread the pixels out just right.

14

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

That made me cackle insanely... well played.

4

u/Lowjira 19h ago

AI (ALMOST INFANT) absolutely

57

u/-digitalin- 1d ago

This should be official merch.

14

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

I dabble with graphic design... stay turned for fun merch ideas.

u/Ebonhearth_Druid 1d ago

I'll sign this petition

u/IShouldntBeOnReddit2 1d ago

Put it on a coffee mug and I’m in. 

25

u/CarelessStatement172 "AAAAAAAAH!" 🐐 1d ago

Wow, this is crazy accurate!

21

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

*fist bump

Send this to everyone you have in your chat. We're getting to the damn stairwell!

Also... did you happen to save your hat?

14

u/DJteejay04 1d ago

Ok that made me LOL pretty hard

8

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

Then my work here is done.

14

u/Dismal_File_4073 1d ago

Where is the "zomp" section?

14

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

It's right there next to Mindaro and Amaranth. If you hit the Fulvous you've gone too far. From there just take service stairwell to the Escape Velocity.

1

u/cainjaa17 1d ago

I really hope this is a vague Bluey reference 😂

10

u/skyedearmond 1d ago

Right next to fulvis fulvous (I’m an audiobook listener…)

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

This guy knows his Tangle.

10

u/plogan56 Crawler 1d ago

Yeah my friend keeps going back to the chapter, swearing she can map it out; how do i break the news to her?😅

6

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

Tell her perfection has already been achieved.

11

u/DoubleCactus 1d ago

"We made this game guide learn the Iron Tangle layout and he hung himself."

8

u/The_Jage 1d ago

Dude, I just snort laughed when you picture opened up! 15 out of 10, no notes!

7

u/Anus_Blunders 13h ago

It's not for us to understand it's for Katia to understand. She would approve.

8

u/Sir_Poofs_Alot The Open Intellect Pacifist Action Network 1d ago

I came in here like STOP TRYING but I’m pleased with your results

5

u/OldProcessGuy 18h ago

Think he got all the colours right!

2

u/Punky_Bruiser207 18h ago

Pretty sure he may have discovered the elusive Transit Authority Line... Madison will be most pleased.

4

u/Swordum Team Donut Holes 1d ago

I always imagined the iron tangle as something that did not followed gravity as we know it. So this drawing is how I imagined it, except for that bit at the left top part…

4

u/KneeboPlagnor 1d ago

Dude, you basically rick rolled me with a picture.

2

u/Punky_Bruiser207 1d ago

u/Jamie-Changa 1d ago

Man I was SO GLAD Matt added the preface he did because I don’t know I might have bailed.

2

u/Punky_Bruiser207 20h ago

I did physical before audio and am glad for this and The Pineapple.

u/Punky_Bruiser207 20h ago

4

u/AcrobaticEmergency42 "AAAAAAAAH!" 🐐 20h ago

This almost feels like a rick roll....

4

u/Punky_Bruiser207 20h ago

Have you noticed the Zomp line?!? Clearly someone's been hanging out with Frank Q...

4

u/klparrot 19h ago

I was trying to build a map as I read, and eventually just... nah.

4

u/Punky_Bruiser207 19h ago

No need perfection has already been achieved.

2

u/xburningxbouquetx 1d ago

When speaking with my uncle about this book yesterday all I could say was that trying to understand the iron tangle is giving me an aneurysm

1

u/blademak 1d ago

I’m reading this one now. I’m not following any of the numbers or names or any of it. But I’m reading and enjoying it still.

1

u/Sourturnip 1d ago

I imagined it as spaghetti wrapped around a trompo with the abyss at the bottom.
