The more I'm writing about Ferris in the Iron Song, the more I like the wet rat he is (as someone called him recently and now I cannot unsee it hahah), so here go some incorrect quotes from a modern AU where the O'Carricks trio never went through the betrayal arc and Ferris is the chaotic diva of the family

Ferris, sighs: Can I borrow your jacket?

Halt:

Halt:

Halt, squints: ...why?

Ferris: I need to pass as straight today because my boyfriend's family doesn't know yet and we want to make a big reveal on his fuckshit of an aunt's birthday party so until then I need to be his 'super duper straight pal' and I don't know anyone who dresses more boringly or straighter than you

Halt:

Halt: I am literally married to a man

Ferris: I know, right? Such a shame to all queer people you are, in your cargo pants and jacket that screams "gay people scare me"

Halt:

Halt:

Halt: How the fuck am I supposed to help someone so rude??

Ferris:

Ferris: By lending me your jacket, duh

.

Conal, said boyfriend of Ferris (and an OC from the Iron Song fic): And tell me again, sweetheart, why the fuck did you go to a court dressed like...

Ferris: Careful.

Conal: ...

Conal: A very artistic person who likes to make people choke on their drink and look away from them?

Ferris: Good enough

Ferris: We were meeting our father today, to get the last thing over the case of custody of Caitlyn

Ferris: And I didn't want him to notice that Halt transitioned, so I decided if he sees me first and dies out of heartattack he will never get the time to hate crime my brother

Conal:

Conal: Noble

Ferris: Aw thank you

Conal: Did it work?

Ferris: 50/50

Ferris: He had a heart attack all right but as far as I know, they saved him in the hospital

Conal:

Conal: Oh

Ferris: Have you seen my red latex dress lately?

Conal: In my wardrobe. again

Conal:

Conal: Why

Ferris:

Ferris: I need to pay a visit on a hospital

.

Siobhan, Caitlyn’s bff: ...

Siobhan: Why is your brother crying

Caitlyn, not looking up from her phone: Which one?

Siobhan: Ferris

Caitlyn: He is afraid of guns

Siobhan:

Siobhan: Then why the fuck is he on a shooting competition

Caitlyn: He tries to be supportive of Halt's special interest and he refuses to wear camo and is more afraid of helicopters, so all that's left are guns

Siobhan:

Siobhan: ...

Siobhan: I think he's trying to hide under the table

Caitlyn: Again?

.

Halt, coming out as trans to his siblings:

Caitlyn: Awww, I'm so proud of you!

Halt:

Ferris:

Ferris: One question

Halt:

Halt: yes?

Ferris: Can I get your clothes? You had that one super cool dress on your prom

Halt:

Halt: ...

.

Caitlyn, annoyed: Which one of you gremlins stole my mascara again??

Halt:

Ferris:

Halt: Really?

Ferris:

Ferris, who walked in on Cralt having a 'imma do your make up' date, and got threaten with some very bad things done to him if he ever tells anyone:

Ferris:

Ferris: That's unfair

.

Halt: Sooo... I want you to meet my partner...

Ferris:

Caitlyn:

Halt: This is Crowley, he-

Ferris: OH THANK THE FUCK

Ferris, tears in his eyes: He's not straight, omfg, yes, we saved him!

Caitlyn:

Caitlyn:

Ferris:

Ferris: Please go find a girlfriend, Cait, don't let me down

Ferris: The O'Carrick bloodline dies with us!

Halt:

Caitlyn:

Halt:

Caitlyn: I have a son

Ferris: HE CAN STILL BE GAY

#6, Mentor

This is Charlie, Egon's apprentice and one of my many ocs! You can read the origins of their story below the cut, and there's a second illustration too :)

Trigger warning: sickness, it's not heavy but still I'm putting it here in case anyone has trouble with it

Egon was on one of his usual weekly patrols. It was nothing special, just a small round through the fief. It mostly took him two days in total, which was far from long in his opinion.

It was his second day, and the prospect of getting home and resting was a very appealing one. He rode over a forest path and looked a bit at his surroundings, when suddenly he saw a moment. He halted his horse and looked right in the face of a young boy.

'What the... hey, kid? Why are you here? Where are your parents?'

'They're dead.'

Egon had to resist the urge to give him a surprised look. My god, what did he get himself into now? He dismounted his horse and kneeled down next to the boy.

'You look pale, are you alright?'

'Food poisoning, probably.'

Could he just have a normal conversation without getting short answers? Apparently not. Well, he had to try and help anyway...

'What's your name?'

'What's yours?'

'I'm Egon, King's Ranger number twelve. Can you tell me yours?'

'Charlie.' The boy hesitated, he had no idea why. 'Charlie Bliss.'

'Alright, thank you. Well, you have to come with me. You need help.'

'I don't need it.'

'You'll starve, or get some other disease. How old are you?'

'Almost fifteen.'

'That's too young to be wandering around in the woods. Come on, please let me help you..'

'I told you already, I don't need your help.'

'Do you really prefer to stay alone here then?'

'I'm used to being alone.'

‘Let me take care of you. You can always decide to leave, but atleast give it a chance. I don’t want to hear something happened to you because I left you alone here.’

The boy gave him a tired look, but soon he noticed Egon's determined look. He accepted, but Egon was sure it was just because otherwise he would not shut up about it or leave him alone.

Egon helped him on his horse and quickly sat in front of him. He had seen the boy's scars, and they did not seem like just a few... he had once, like all Rangers in the neighbouring fiefs, wondered where The Lost Son had gone. The boy did look somewhat like the old Baron and Baroness...

Egon wasn't going to make any conclusions here, but he would for sure send a letter to Terry, the Ranger of the fief where the accident had happened almost fifteen years ago, for more information about how the couple had died.

For now, he had to make sure to save this boy from suffering. Neither of them said a word, but that was fine. Egon wasn't going to push him to talk if he didn't want to. They would talk later, in his cabin and when the boy had some of his strength back.

The image is Charlie, sitting on the ground and looking at Egon who's not visible in the picture

If you have any more questions about him, feel free to ask! Thank you for reading this far, I really appreciate it :)

I read the new chapter of your fiction and I just have to ask, did you really had to make not only Ferris but also your knight OC Lughaidh gay? Really? Can’t write a single straight character? In a middle-ages reality?

Hello,

Well, Lughaidh came out as gay in chapter 35, meaning 12 chapters ago, and yes, he absolutely has to be gay, because as a queer author writing a queer story, I will write queer characters.

I have this strange feeling like I already explained this a while ago.

Secondly, I honestly don't think I ever read anything potraying Ferris as straight. Some people even see him as queer-coded in canon. It may have something to do with the fact that he was a middle aged king who never married and his heir was his literal nephew, while his style of being, clothing and hairstyle was ridiculed by the conventionally masculine characters.

Anyway, even if he were straight in canon, he is gay in my story, which is a fanfic (and again, I feel like I covered that topic already).

There are straight characters in "the Iron Song", but the story is mostly focused on the ones that are queer. Because, again, I am writing this story and I am tired of getting queer representation as "that one gay friend among the cis-straight people", so here we get a few straight people among gay majority of the main characters, while the topic of homophobia is still very important and has a great impact on most of them.

Even Lughaidh, who you now realise is gay, literally had a scene where he talked about his backstory, being sent to become a child soldier because of his father’s homophobia.

I'm not sure what to tell you, yes, they are gay, yes, there will be more queer people in the plot. And the whole story is literally tagged "Nobody Here Is Straight".

Hey, local tgirl here, might I suggest an OC named Aernring who is a trans femme apprentice that modifies her ranger equipment to make it more feminine (for example, skirts added to her outfit that help blend in more without sacrificing movement, and pink messages painted on her arrows insulting entire family lines)

Hello, Thank you so much for contacting me, I'm so glad that you decided to add an OC to 'the paper revolutions'. Aernring has been officialy added to the list :) I love the pink messages-insults! And her impact on Rangers' outfits, yes, that sounds so cool, I will add that too! Would you like to give me more details about her? Some characteristics, hair colour, maybe her fief or friends, whatever you want me to include? Or is the rest of her story for me to create? Either way, thank you so much!

I saw someone doing it so I’m joining with the memes for my fanfiction, and here is 'the Iron Song' in memes (spoiler free or out of context enough to not count them as spoiler)

[itzzzlunar]

I have some more fanart about my fanfic! (Idk if I can call it fanart lmao)

Firstly there's Crowley and his mentor and father figure Pritchard, who trained him to be a Ranger and taught him practically everything he knew

Secondly there's Jeffrey (one of my oc's) as a 17 year old boy, holding knifes, working in the showbusiness. His mentor and second father figure Lance (also an oc), who's also a royal guard, learned him how to fight with a sword

And lastly, the three people are Jeffrey, Daisy (another oc) and Crowley. Jeffrey is one of the Royal Guards who are sworn to protect King Duncan, Crowley helped Daisy's parents and together they took care of her as uncles and helped her while growing up

If you're curious to learn more about them, read the important man :)

Hello there Rangerlings! As you might have noticed I'm working on a fanfic on ao3 together with my girlfriend. It's called "The important man" and it's a cralt fic with oc's in it. We just uploaded chapter 13, and we thought since the first oc, Benjamin Perroy, has been introduced it would be a nice idea to post the character design here for ya'll to see :)

There's also some information about him, and a few brief scenes of the newest chapter, so if you haven't read it yet and they seem interesting to you feel free to check the fanfic out! We love to get comments and support about it so don't hesitate to tell us what you think :)

[itzzzlunar]

This is the OC for my fanfic! Her name's Endora and she's kind of a witch. The fic I made her for is supposed to be for a writing prompt in my ao3 fic "Kinktober with the Rangers" but I'm going to post the loose story too! It's going to be called "Acid burns the love". It's a cralt fic for your information!
