Batman and Halt would not like each other. HEAR ME OUT, OKAY, HEAR ME OUT! And I've been thinking about this for a while, because like brainrot batfam and ranger's apprentice have been circling in my head the more my brain draws little similarities between them.

But the thing is Halts kills, he has killed, and he will kill again. If killing someone would keep Will safe, he would do it no hesitation. He doesn't need to stop himself from doing so because he knows that he's not killing willy nilly, for the fun of it. He doesn't like it, certainly not, but it is an aspect of his job he has not and will not shirk from.

Bruce can't kill. As much as so many of us want him to, it is fundamentally ingrained into his character that if he kills, he will just throw himself into the deep end. But the thing is, not everyone can understand that, and he doesn't really try to explain it to people a lot.

Halt would not be able to fathom the thought of a father that would not risk anything for his son. He got himself banished, albeit for only a year, so he could go find Will and bring him home. Despite the fact that I think Halt would very much understand Bruces 'No Killing' policy.

Anyway, all that said, I think the Batkids and Will, Horace, and Evanlyn(Cassandra) would very much get along, and thus would force Bruce and Halt to be in close proximity to eachother.

ranger's apprentice people help, what order do i read the books in?? I'm about to start the 5th (?) the siege of macindaw but after that no where online will give me a straight answer as to the book order

[kidlit-queen-competition]

Qualifier: The Ranger's Apprentice series

[ss-hikaru]

I decided to read this cos both my mum and little brother said they liked it. An unusual consensus 😝

It was a very comfy read. While obviously written for a much younger audience, it managed to hit that balance of simplicity without being braindead and therefore enjoyable as an adult reader.

I was a little surprised how easily the bad blood between Will and Horace was settled, but it wasn't a bad thing. It made sense in hindsight as this is very much a set-up novel.

Feels to me that the series will follow the five orphans as they grow up. I love series that do that, so hoping this is the case 😊

Today's pickups! I'm posting it from work since I went book shopping before coming into the store.

[sulisstuff]

Sulisstuff explained!

Hello there! And welcome to my blog!

I've been on Tumblr for over 6 years. In the past I've had several blogs with this one previously being a meme page for Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' miniseries Band of Brothers.

Now. I still love Band of Brothers, but I decided that I wanted to turn this blog into something more general.

So, why not get to know me a little?

In this post I'll discuss a few things:

Who I am

Where I'm from

What languages I speak

Fandoms I'm active in

My type of content

Well. You know the drill...

So, if you'd like to get to know me a little bit, read it below the cut!

PS. At the bottom you'll find a very heartwarming surprise : ')

First of all:

This blog is NOT dedicated to the godess named Sulis OR to Aquae Sulis, known for the Roman baths.

My blogname is just an easy way of writing Suli’s stuff. Gotcha?

Suli’s stuff = sulisstuff

Yeah? Okay, good. You can go on.

Soo, second of all:

What's my name?

My name is Suli.

It's not my actual name, but it's the name I'm comfortable with to put on the internet. So you can just call me Suli on this blog, even if you do actually know me ;)

Now, I mentioned Sulis and that my blogs name is just a version of Suli's stuff

But to those who are fan of James Cameron's Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water: I'm sorry. My name also doesn't have anything to do with Jake Sully's Na'vi name "Tsyeyk Suli"

I do absolutely love Avatar and I love the connection it has, but it's not based off of it.

Where am I from?

I'm from the Netherlands. I was born and raised Dutch and I'm proud of it! (gekoloniseerd)

So, since I'm Dutch, I feel like I have to mention that the Dutch people seem to be known for their fondness of swearing and cursing.

And I do feel like I also have to mention that I'm no exception.

Like, not in the slightest. Sorry

Iykyk...

My blog won't be filled with swearwords though, but I also won't make sure that it isn't. So if you have a problem with swearwords, you should probably look elsewhere.

Still love you all <3

What languages do I speak?

My first language is Dutch! I'm completely fluent and it's the language I speak on a daily basis.

My second language is English. I was not raised speaking English and I started taking English classes in school when I was about 12 years old. I consider myself pretty fluent in the language, but naturally I still make some mistakes as it is not my first language.

And after that I've had five years of German classes when I was in school, but I can't say I speak the language very well. I do understand it moderately though, but just don't ask me to translate it haha.

What are my pronouns/preferences?

I was born as a female and I identify as a female, so my pronouns are she/her.

I'm straight, and not part of the LGBTQ+ community, but I love and support everyone to be who they are and I will not accept any form of racism or discrimination on my blog! People who comment negatively on those matters will be reported and blocked immediately. No hate on this blog, just love!

What fandoms am I active in?

I'm active in several fandoms. Here are a few things listed that I absolutely love. Though you will see some stuff more regularly than others

Movies

Avatar

Avatar: The Way of Water

Dune

Series

Band of Brothers

The Witcher

Stranger Things

The Alienist

Knightfall

Reign

The Pacific

Currently watching: The Tudors (But I'm progressing very slowly because I never seem to have the concentration or motivation to finish a series. Sometimes I'm hooked and can't be "unhooked" for months but I still have to find that "hooked-button" for the Tudors)

Books

The Ranger's Apprentice / De Grijze Jager

Sports

Formula 1

What type of content can be expected?

On this blog I will post just random stuff related to the fandoms I'm in.

I actually love to write and I've been writing stories since I was 10 years old, but I've never actually published them anywhere. And if I do write, it will only be in Dutch. I master the English language very well, but not well enough to actually write stories I will be satisfied with.

So, if people would like me to write anything for the things I listed above, I will surely try, but it has to be okay if it's only written in Dutch :)

Furthermore I will probably post memes and other content related to the things I love!

Also, here's the heartwarming surprise I promised you. It’s the beautiful profile picture I created especially for this blog.

Gotta love Microsoft Paint.

We tried... Wef

ailed

[thatonepersoninthebackoftheroom]

Person A is Maddie, and Person B is Will. This is the only answer I will view as correct from now on. Will is always ready to mess with people and Maddie is just as ready to watch and learn

Person A: “I think we’re being followed.”

Person B: “Again? Don’t these people have anything better to do?”

Person A: “Apparently not… Should we lose them? Or should we give them the run around?”

Person B: “Hm… Let’s go with the latter and toy with them for a bit, it’s not like we have anything else to do today. We might as well waste their time and have a bit of fun in the process.”

[thatonepersoninthebackoftheroom]

Halt: A place where everybody knows your name is hell. You're describing hell.

~~~

Horace: I know! A comprehensive set of rules.

~~~

Gilan: Why do the worst things always happen to the best people?

~~~

Will: Fine, but in protest, I'm walking over there extremely slowly!

~~~

Will: Wait a minute, I think I just figured something out. I got to go.

Jenny: Aren't you forgetting something? (Will gives Jenny a kiss on the forehead) Uh no, pay your bill! Damn, who raised you?

~~~

Will & Gilan: Halt, with all due respect, I'm gonna completely ignore everything you just said.

~~~

Horace: They said all the bleeding was internal. That's where the bloods supposed to be!

~~~

Will: Negotiating is just two liars lying to each other until one stands to close to a window and fhwip.

Horace: That can't be all it is

Will: Yes, it is. Now go in there and coax him to a window.

~~~

Crowley: I've solved a lot of cases

Halt: And yet, crime has continued.

[fallingskiesandrisingseas]

I mean, not really.

Let's recap.

Will is hit with a stone in the head after nearly burning himself to death setting that bridge on fire.

He's moved across the land, unable to escape as they are smack dab in the middle of Skandians who will NOT let him go.

He, Evanlyn and his captors traverse an entire ocean, where he tries to escape but fails miserably because his plans are seen straight through. Will doesn't even check the bottom of his boat.

He arrives in the middle of winter, with no arrows, no bow, no knives, no help, and has to work in the cold, outside, in shoddy clothes, all day. Even before he intervenes in that fight that gets him sent to the paddles, that is extremely tough. He has no way of getting to Evanlyn, no way to even talk to her, and is doing backbreaking work all day long.

Will is also, and this is important, only 16 years old here. He'd have to outsmart all the guards, all the slaves, get Evelyn, get into the mountains, and still pray he doesn't die in the winter. He'd have no clue how to find the hunting cabin and no way to find out where it is between working all day and trying not to die. Honestly, it's a miracle that he makes it that far, even with the warmweed.

Sometimes I wonder if the only reason John Flanny made Will get addicted to drugs is because he realized that under normal circumstances Will would have found a way to get him and Evanlynn out in like less than 2 months and he needed a way to stop that
