#ranger apprentice

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

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.

A shitty illustration:

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.

- 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! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

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.
