#ranger apprentice

[shirahoshiumi]

Finished[ish] reference sheet for Halt! Ive always loved the idea of the oakleaf being more like a coin hanging around the neck rather than a full oak leaf- so i did that instead

Also apprentice Will and Halt hug bcs I love them

You may ask me, "Why are you changing their outfits every art?" And I'll tell you " I don't know, I just can't stick with only one...

horace: why would you think any of this was a good idea?! halt: probably because I’m a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence. horace: oh… will, from across the room: i don’t understand how you keep forgetting that.

Ranger Gathering 2024: Culture

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

TLDR: Gilan and Will return to the Whitby Ranger cabin after a two-month stint in the field. Inside, they find a lovely present left for them.

Does Halt ever just blank on Araluen?

Like he speaks it fluently which is understandable if you grow up as a crown prince so already knew the language and lived their for most of your life.

But it ain't his first language so he wouldn't be human if it didn't happen every ones in a while.

Like, I can just imagine him being really frustrated by a report from another fief because he doesn't know a word and can't figure it out either. Than having to go to Pauline to translate it for him.

Or when he just arrived in Araluen and the renegade rangers are discussing a random topic. While he just sits in silence trying to figure out by the conversation what that word means.

Or if either Will or Gilan uses a word he doesn't know but refuses to admit to his apprentice he doesn't know what their saying. But his apprentice is just confused and scared by the death stare their getting.

It'll be rare but it will probably happen every ones in a while. And him having to figure out by context what it means and being immensely frustrated when his not able to.

🏳️‍🌈QUEERS ASSEMBLY 🏳️‍🌈

- representation in ff -

Hi everyone, my name is Nemo. I'm writting a ff titled "paper revolutions" on ao3 and it's mainly about Crowley’s and Cass' changes in the laws that allow more people to be themselves

It’s full of queernes, and it’s going to be a huge project, I assume

The main ships are already there, we have Wilyss T4T, Cralt evolving into Craltine, non-binary Cass/Horace and one surprise ship that appears first in the 3rd chapter

The story will follow their relations and life but I need lots of side characters and ships

And here's the thing, as a queer, disabled person myself, I’ve always found it irritating how even if there was some representation in media, it was rarely fitting my own experiences. I wanted to change it, so for the last dozen years I wrote a lot of queer stories

Here I ask if some of you may want to join the creation of that one

You can submit any canon character (except the one in the main ships) or your OC, shipped or not, who will be queer, disabled, neurodivergent or in other way wanted by you to be showed in this ff as a representation

We’re gonna need a lot of side characters, especially women, as some part of the stories will happen in Pauline’s Diplomatic Services School, there will be some friends of her and Alyss. We need more Rangers, some Scribes, knights, and people from the villages, some cooks who will interact with Jenny, some friends and family for all of the characters, Cass' friends, lords and barons, and ladies, and even more of them as the story takes place from TYE to TRR

And I want as many of them as possible to be queer (or other representation)

If you want to join, please contact me in any way you want to (comment, DM, reblog, ao3 comment), I will be honoured to include them in my story and I hope it will be fun but also something some of us may needed or wanted for a long time

For your OC write as much information as you want me to include while writing them

I will tag you, if you want me to, after the chapter where your character appears for the first time

Thank you for your time! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

(I really hope someone read it to the end)

Sometimes i catch myself thinking so damn hard about deeper meanings and absolutely soul wrenching moments of Rangers Apprentice, and sometimes its really hard for me, because im not always good at explaining why or even knowing why i like a certain peice of media.

But with ra, i think in my heart of hearts what i like the most about it is the nostalgia. Its the person i was when i first read these books and the impact it had on my life, the way i felt when i imersed myself in these stories. It wasnt so much because of a deeper meaning, but because Will is cool, and then he did that other cool thing and he has a horse, and so on.

Thats not to say i dont like the stories for what theyre tryingto say and the kinda story it is trying to tell, but a lot of the time if you ask me why i like them, ill need a minute or two to think about it. I feel like i have to be profound all the time, when its a little hard, and quite frankly i take the books quite at face value. Its probbaly slightly cause im insecure of myself that indulging and discussing ra with the fandom is so hard for me, but ive set a goal to get better, to try to be more aware of a beloved media.
