LMAOOOOOO

[fernacular]

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

[fernacular]

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

Licherally in the midst of drawing a guy and crying at how bad the arms are. Thanks Tumbles

[drrockbell]

I only ever saw the part where people started drawing the limbs outrageously long and genuinely wanted to know how to fix that, so I’m really thankful to see the rest.

A reminder that Halt O'Carrick canonically snuck into Master Chubb's kitchen to steal his freshly baked pies (at the same time as Will).

[falconsbow]

Feast your eyes RA fandom. If this image is low quality im going to lose my mind. You know I always thought will to have blonde hair since I was a kid reading these books. It wasn't till MUCH later that I realized he did in fact not have blonde hair. Alas... im trying to grow into the brown. I love this silly little guy, take this as my entrance fee back into the fandom (even though I never left). ((Flanagan needs to hire me to redraw the official character art cause WHAT are those references.)

Halt when he teases Horace with wit in book three

[thelastranger]

Has this been done?

[incorrect-rangers-quotes]

crowley: your majesty, there’s only so much i can do about redmont.

duncan: you said you knew what their plans were.

crowley: i know what their plans are just fine. halt’s are chaos, but with structure, and gilan’s are chaos, but with… more chaos.

duncan:

crowley: you really ought to listen to how i phrase things.

[salty-ranger]

Halt: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

Crowley: I wrote you a poem

Halt, slightly tearing up: y-you did?

[silveroakleafdeer]

Find the Ranger(s) LOL

[that-one-enby-ranger]

Horace: Halt, is that legal?

Halt: When there's no cops around, anything's legal!

[vilewile]

Give me Halt getting absolutely done with Duncan's royal hauteur and starting exactly this:

[eccevenitvulpes]

Except that Gilan and Will started doing it to Halt after Kings of Clonmel

[iwanttobepersephone]

YES THEY DID

Y'all, I'm bored, what are your most unhinged RA fic ideas?

[reine-du-sourire]

Some Toscanese/Genovesan traveler introducing pasta to the Rangers.

Just boil and eat. The Corps goes absolutely nuts over it.

[twofoursixohjuan]

I see that and I raise you: introducing pasta to Jenny

[reine-du-sourire]

I see that, and raise you Jenny making history by serving mac'n'cheese at a royal banquet before Thomas Jefferson could make history by serving it at a state dinner (this actually happened).

[ragingadhd]

~1500 years later, there’s a box Mac n Cheese brand named after her. One person goes “huh. Ever wonder who Jenny was?” to which their trivia winner friend starts giving a lecture about medieval Redmont, a trip from Toscana, the spread in popularity of pasta, etc. etc. etc. Goes on to say some brand took the legendary chef from the legendary Mac n Cheese banquet and said ‘this would be a good brand name’ and the rest is history

[ranger-tater]

Halt is crazy strong, and it’s like only seen in the second book?! Like he tosses people in moats with one hand and stuff, but most importantly- he draws a 130lb warbow?! Like it’s the only time this bow is mentioned is in The Burning Bridge, when he’s tossing what’s his face.

“But Halt’s hands, arms, shoulders, and back were condition by years of drawing the massive longbow (should be warbow), with its pull weight of sixty kilos.”

And Halt can loose several arrows in a second, an already impressive enough feat as it is, more so with a 90lb bow, but 130lbs?! Like- he’s pulling back a pre-teen 2-3 times in such a short span of time?! He can do this without any fatigue?? Exactly how fucking strong is this man that he can draw 130lbs smoother than I do 45?! What is the most Halt could draw comfortably for hours on end?! 200lbs plus?! Joe Gibbs and Mark Stretton can barely draw that more than a dozen times?! And they’re like the big people in the heavy bow world.

[that-one-enby-ranger]

Halt: I called you like ten times! Why didn’t you pick up?  Crowley: *remembers dancing to the ringtone*  Crowley: I didn’t hear it.

[arulens-least-horny-jongleur]

i’ve been hiding in trees and bushes to avoid people for almost my entire life, and i have the instinctual reaction to freeze, and stay completely still (excluding breathing). i can do this for upwards of 20 minutes without struggle if i know someone’s nearby and looking for me.

with this knowledge, i can say, with certainty, that the ranger method of “just stay still” is incredibly effective in almost every situation. not necessarily to the point they play it up to in the books, but it genuinely does work.

just curl up, wear clothes that don’t clash with the environment, don’t be where they expect, and

don’t.

fucking.

move.

avoid being at eye height if you can, but i once made direct eye contact with someone who was looking for me in the forest and they skipped straight past me anyways because they were looking for a moving, breathing, person, not a statue.
