I AM OBSESSED WITH MY FUNKY LITTLE BOW CHARACTERS I post incorrect quotes sometimes

the ending of the burning bridge like

[ragingadhd]

Oh nothing, just thinking about how Halt was willing to drop everything to go save Will. How he was ready to sacrifice it all; his reputation, his career, his friends, his home; the place that was a safe haven for him as he fled his psychotic brother. He was ready to let go of it all, and all for this one kid whom he had only truly gotten to know for the past year.

Just thinking about how Halt had to have known there was a chance Will would choose to stay in Araluen after being rescued, and how Halt was ok with being more alone than he has been in ages if it meant Will was safe and happy.

Thinking about how he did all of this for the same kid that he had saved 16 years prior. The same kid he was debating raising himself, but decided against it bc he thought Will would be happier in the Ward.

Thinking about how Will knows he owes his life to Halt, yet he saves Halt from being poisoned not because of a life debt, but because he loves the man like a father.

Thinking about them and how they found each other and made a father-son bond they both wanted but thought they’d never have

Halt: “Person of Interest” is almost too flattering

Halt: Like, if the guards were to pound on my door and go, "A man has been murdered in your building and you are a person of interest," I'd be like, "Moi? Oh, do go on."

halt, just trying to be proud of his son in peace:

horace:

Lady Pauline: I am art. Living eternally in the mind. Beautiful. Unique.

Halt: I am that one person who threatened to eat the Mona Lisa. Unstoppable. Hungry. Enemy of the arts.

Lady Pauline: What in the fu-

*broken coffee pot*

Halt: Who broke it? I’m not mad, I just want to know.

Horace: I did. I broke it.

Halt: No you didn’t. Will?

Will: Don’t look at me, look at Evanlyn.

Evanlyn: What?? I didn’t break it!

Will: Huh that’s weird, how did you know it was broken?

Evanlyn: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!

Will: Huh. Suspicious.

Evanlyn: No it’s not!

Lady Pauline: If it matters, probably not- Gilian was the last person to use it

Gilian: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Lady Pauline: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Gilian: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that!

Horace: Alright let’s not fight. I broke it, I’ll pay for it.

Halt: No. who broke it?

Evanlyn: uh, Alyss has been awfully quiet...

Alyss: Really?

Evanlyn: yeah really!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halt: I broke it. It burned my hand so I punched it. I predict in 10 minutes they'll be at each other's throats with war paint and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting too chummy around here.

the height differential when Will was a first year is something so precious to me, so intimate <333

[incorrect-rangers-quotes]

actually maddie being apprenticed to will is just the funniest shit that could've possibly happened because now the teacher-student line looks like this

pritchard (some guy) -> halt (crown prince of clonmel) -> will (some guy) -> maddie (crown princess of araluen)

like they just alternate between "normal chap you can drink a pint with" and "someone you don't Technically need to address with "your royal highness" but like the impulse is still there" every generation. like will is objectively just the funniest character because you put him in a line with his teacher and his student and they'll start arguing about what the new ocean trade routes will do for the current tensions between ports of iberion and toscana and will is just standing there like what the iddly fiddly FUCK are you two talking about

[faretheewellgreybeardhalt]

Halt: While I’m gone, Will, you’re in charge.

Will: Yes!!!

Halt, whispering: Horace, you’re secretly in charge.

Horace: Obviously.

still not over how absolutely batshit insane ranger's apprentice was. "one riot, one ranger" bro WHAT????? one riot ONE RANGER??? i refuse to accept that rangers are human because that just isn't gonna work out.

it's a riot. a RIOT.

rangers are sub-5ft dudes with 24 arrows, two knives, some glorified whip garottes, no will to live and a caffeine addiction.

they also talk to their horses.

(the horses talk back.)

they shittalk their own government.

the ranger gatherings are probably on par with collage end of the year raves.

their commander is a man who has never kissed anyone but his mother and somehow still exudes the most violent "this is a man who fucks" energy. it's probably the fact that he's a dog person.

i'm convinced half of them are orphans and just got adopted into the corps.

one of them is the fucking crown prince of fantasy ireland who ran away from his murderous brother and ended up adopted into the corps.

the one (1) ranger who can use a sword (and also the crown prince of fantasy ireland's apprentice) advises that, in the instance you find yourself losing a fight, you simply throw yourself off a fucking cliff. he was also adopted into the corps in spite of having two (2) father figures beforehand.

one of the most legendary rangers of all time (and also the crown prince of fantasy ireland's second apprentice) fought a fantasy british minotaur at age 15, got kidnapped by fantasy swedes at age 16 and was enslaved along with the fucking crown princess of fantasy britain for a year during which he also got addicted to and recovered from the effects of fantasy ketaweed, then did a switch and almost died in the desert looking for his talking horse. and that's all before he finished his apprenticeship. this guy was also an orphan, got adopted into the corps, and didn't even want to be a ranger.

also the guy who trained the dog person commander also trained the crown prince of fantasy ireland. he also died dramatically in the crown prince of fantasy ireland's arms. his apprentices met because one happened to walk into a tavern as the other was getting his nose cut off in the tavern

the first ranger woman is also the crown fucking princess of fantasy britain. but not the one that was enslaved with the ranger getting high on ketaweed. the ranger is that one's daughter. yeah.

basically i forgot where i was going with this post, because somewhere along the line i realized that i'm wrong because yeah any one of those fuckers could absolutely stop a riot.

i don't say this often, but jesus christ. flanagan you absolute madman.

this is glorious

I'm gonna use this post to convince my friend to read the series

[im-a-mandola]

some baron: you have the right to remain silent

Will, pulling out his mandola: doesnt mean i have to ;)

Halt: Self care is actually getting into fights with randoms in dark alleys.

Evanlyn: No, self care is stuff like taking a bubble bath, or putting on a lot of makeup if you like it, or taking a nice warm nap!

Erak: Self care is the burning heat when rage washes over you!! Self care is when you feel the bones crack under your powerful fists!! Self care is the fear in your enemies’ eyes!!!

Horace: Lmao self care is taking your birthday cake just so I can eat the frosting.

Halt: If you touch my birthday cake I’ll make you eat your hands.

[faretheewellgreybeardhalt]

Will putting honey in his coffee: Hell yea. Get in that bean juice you sexy sexy bee sauce

Horace: Do you accept constructive criticism on your sentences?

[faretheewellgreybeardhalt]

Halt: We need to get through this locked door. Will, give me your credit card.

Will: Here.

Halt, pocketing it: Thanks. Horace, kick down the door.

[faretheewellgreybeardhalt]

Gilian: 'Person of interest' is almost too flattering.

Gilian: Like, if the police were to pound on my door and go, 'A man has been murdered in your building and you are a person of interest,' I'd be like, 'Moi? Oh, do go on.'

[faretheewellgreybeardhalt]

Halt: I am not out of control! I'm a law abiding citizen!

Crowley: Really? Name one law

Halt: Don't kill people?

Crowley: That's on me. I set the bar too low.

[faretheewellgreybeardhalt]

Halt, standing with their back turned: I’ve been expecting you, Will.

Will: How did you do that without turning around?

Halt: ... To be perfectly honest, the first couple of people I did that to were not you.
