Happy birthday to Spartan Gabriel Thorne!

Today is his -510th birthday!

Thorne is the child of two Army parents who died during a Covenant attack. He was adopted by his grandparents in New Phoenix, and was taught to play violin by his grandmother in the hopes that he would choose a career in music instead of a military career. It was to no avail--he joined the Army while still a teenager.

He was an exceptional solider, which granted him access to the SPARTAN-IV program. While he was away on recruitment deployment, the Didact composed New Phoenix, killing his grandmother. After her death, he was plagued by nightmares that did not end until he returned home to face what occurred.

During the Requiem campaign, he was assigned to Fireteam Majestic aboard the Infinity. There, he participated in several missions on Requiem to disrupt Jul 'Mdama's Covenant operations. After Dr. Halsey escaped Infinity with Jul 'Mdama, Majestic was sent to pursue them. They would eventually follow them to the Absolute Record, where they would attempt to intercept Halsey and 'Mdama.

It is unclear if Thorne was aboard Infinity when it was attacked by the Banished. His current status is unknown.

In canon (~2560), he is turning 26!

Sharing the massive message spam that I sent to @makowrites because I think I'm hilarious.

I was talking with some friends who said that the blonde army trooper from Reach got a name, but only for her to get killed in a Waypoint story.

So obviously my first response was to say, "I reject your reality and substitute my own!"

Which turned into a conversation about how it would be much better if she and the others she was with managed to escape the scenario, which could lead to a funny story.

Then somebody said "we need to bring back the 'Someday I'll get myself a pair of shiny pants too' quote" and somebody else said, "she should make a Spartan call her 'mommy'"

So I figured hey, those two things could coincide, and it would be a funny way to bring Thorne back into lore after fading away in Spartan-Ops obscurity.

Which in turn led to me writing this (just so everyone knows, it's got some innuendo but I'm not really one for NSFW so it's pretty much entirely innocuous and for the lulz):

Setting: the survivors are sitting around a campfire as they make their way back to the nearest FOB. Thorne, who was instrumental in rescuing them from the House of Reckoning and is currently leading the group, just confessed that he became a Spartan after losing his family in New Phoenix. --- As that sobering thought carried over the group, Thorne stood up. “I’m going to scout the perimeter,” he declared with a reassuring grin. “You all stay here and rest. We’ll need to get moving again at sunup.” With that, the Spartan slid his helmet on and stalked off silently into the darkness. “Thorne’s a good man,” Hedge said, still nursing his injured side. “And a good Spartan. I’ve fought with him before - he’ll help us get out of this mess.” Then the large man rolled over, turning his back to the fire. “He’s right, though… we should all get some rest.” Singh nodded to himself, leaning back against the tree. He couldn’t believe that they’d survived everything - the escape from the Infinity, the fall of the Mortal Reverie, and now Escharum’s twisted ‘House of Reckoning’... the Lance Corporal could only wonder what fresh nightmares awaited them after they made their way through this mess. He turned over to Bobrov. “What do you think, Gunny?” Singh asked with a grin. “Is Thorne all Hedge says he is?” As he waited for her answer, Singh noticed that Bobrov’s eyes were fixed on Thorne’s retreating figure. “You in there, boss?” he prodded, nudging her with the toe of his boot. Elena shook her head, as if removing herself from a trance. “I hope so,” she finally answered. “I’m about sick of fighting losing battles. It would be nice if something turned our way for once.” She turned her eyes back up in the direction the young Spartan had stalked off. “You know,” she added thoughtfully, “I met a Spartan. Back on Reach, before we knew that there were different classes of them and all.” Singh nodded slowly. “I heard there were Spartans on Reach. What were they like back then?” Elena’s cheeks turned slightly pink. “Really quiet,” she said. “They did a lot of staring. It was weird.” She tapped her chin thoughtfully. “I told one of them that I was going to get myself into a pair of shiny pants like theirs.” Finally, the sergeant turned to look at Singh. “Thorne’s pants looked pretty shiny, don’t you think?” She grinned, a predatory glint shining in her eyes. Singh’s jaw dropped. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Gunny. After everything we did… that’s what’s on your mind?” Bobrov shrugged. “I’ve only got so many ‘certain-death’ scenarios left in me,” she said as she stood up, dusting off her pants. “And didn’t you hear what he said? He lost his whole family.” She licked her lips, like an honest-to-goodness cartoon character. “That poor boy needs a new mommy,” she said, her voice low. “You’re a menace,” Singh groaned, passing a hand over his face tiredly. Bobrov didn't answer, except to flash her middle finger at him behind her back. “Hey Thorne,” she called out in a sing-song voice, trotting off into the dark.

Stop me before I AU again but I could totally make a crackish AU-within-an-AU where Palmer doesn’t get Lasky away from the artifact and Spartan Ops is Lasky and Glassman trying to buddy-cop their way through everything on Requiem while Chyler is holding the ship together.

Chyler of course is scared to death until Tom is home and mostly unharmed at which point she immediately becomes FURIOUS with him. Why would he grab at a man getting sucked into a Forerunner energy beam. Why WOULDN’T he grab at a man getting sucked into a Forerunner energy beam. Did you have your sense of self-preservation permanently removed, Tom?!?!?! Let’s not even start on the truckload of ONI BS Chyler had to shovel.

I think Tom would be proud of his bride for moving the chess pieces and sending Majestic in to rescue Halsey/foil Palmer’s plans, though. Sounds almost like something he would do.

Also need a fic where Gabriel Thorne (voiced by none other than Ethan Peck) gets outed as the Singing Spartan.

[authortobenamedlater]

I gotta do my Subspace Rhapsody-inspired fic where Thorne gets outed as The Singing Spartan.

Thorne kills me every time I see him, he got such big cute puppy eyes look at him

He could kill a not augmented adult man with his bare hands but he is adorable

IT THE BLORBOS, COURTESY OF THE LOVELY @pumpkinata !!

[spacehero-23]

my biggest issue with chain of thorns is that we're told about some big/emotional events but we don't get to see them...

oh! will and tessa cried when they found out their kids were trapped in london! right after finding out their nephew died. but you won't get to read this scene

gabriel and cecily's son died! and they found out when his body was brought to them! but you won't get to read that scene!

will and tessa found out about the gracelet and were upset. but you won't get to read that.

charles confronted bridgestock and came out to the entire enclave in a very brave and dramatic way! but you won't get to read that!

like??? we had to suffer through 300 pages of a bullshit love triangle (i refuse to believe people honestly thought herondaisy won't be canon) but we couldn't get some genuinely important moments???

[ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask]

Some Elena Bobrov/Gabriel Thorne crack for anyone who finds themselves in the market for such silliness.

@sarnakhwritesthings sent me this:

I guess Ethan Peck was Spartan Gabriel Thorne in a previous life.

Fascinating.

At some point I need to rewatch Spartan Ops for MWAS purposes (there are a few scenes that become absolutely DELIGHTFUL when transported to this AU 😂) and now I can also watch it for Spartan Spock.

How I think the VC characters would feel about the pumpkin spice latte

Lestat: obsessed, can’t get enough, fall girl 100%

Louis: curls his lip up in distaste at the thought

Armand: fascinated by the concept and definitely enjoys it now and again

Daniel: tried it once because Armand begged him, but it’s a liiiiittle too sugary for his taste

Marius: probably likes it more than he cares to admit

Thorne: a fun treat for every once and a while, but not something he would order consistently

Santino: It is evil and indulgent! 😡

Quinn: thinks it’s kinda mid but drinks it for the aesthetic because he’s a dork

Nicki: actively makes fun of people who drink it

Mael: what’s a pumpkin spice latte?

Jesse: prefers it iced 😔

Seth: no hate but he doesn’t prefer it

Fareed: tried it once and that was enough

Khayman: he thinks it’s absolutely delightful

Pandora: prefers the iced pumpkin cream chai

Bianca: thinks it’s super cute and totally gets it as a more-than-occasional treat

Gabrielle: doesn't get the point of flavoured coffee in general

"To the north, different mountains surrounded the city across the river—a range of sharp peaks like fish’s teeth cleaved the city’s merry hills from the sea beyond. But these mountains behind me… They were sleeping giants. Somehow alive, awake."

Velaris, the City of Starlight, from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, was the location for the June Wanderlust Window collectible included in The Bookish Box's YA box ✨

Which Court would you call home? I kept thinking, 'I want to live there,' while painting this landscape. Only last night, the sky finally cleared where I live, and it was so beautiful. I saw a real starry night for the first time after months of pollution and bad weather.

In TID Gabriel says that Gideon is an unsung comic genius and I think he 100% passed that on to Thomas.

That boy is the funniest mf in the series omg.

A child raised by him AND Alastair Carstairs? The comedic power it would hold.
