GUYS I THINK I FOUND THE INSPIRATION FOR CASLTE REDMONT! Don't know if someones already found this but here it is anyway:

It's called Castle Caerlaverock and it is a TRIANGULAR SHAPED castle, with a MOAT, and is made of REDSTONE. That is literally the description of Castle Redmont. It is in Scotland but that doesn't matter, it's close to England.

I was doing some research on Scotland a few years back for school when I found this castle. I just remembered it a couple minutes ago.

Aaay Treskie's actually doing the fanart she said she was gonna do! Bless her heart. . Here's a lil Will Treaty from Ranger's Apprentice, because he's a fun character and I like the vibe. Also it wasn't until after I inked in the thing that I read in the books that the double knives in the scabbard are on each hip and not stacked like I thought. OH WELL . . . . #traditionalart #watercolor #pencilandink #pencilandpaper #sketches #drawings #catholicartist #rangersapprentice #rangersapprenticeseries #halt #willtreaty #johnflanagan #araluen #redmont #rangersapprenticefandom https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpn__PeLGhC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cassandra!! Not my best work but definitely not my worst :D

[disasterace1]

I need someone that has already read the new (for me it’s new cause I’m dutch) Royal Ranger book “Arazans Wolves” to tell me-

Will there be actual magic in this book?

Cause in the summery they refer to Arazan as a a “sorcerer” that controls an army of Wargals and Direwolfs

And even though I like the idea of the wargals returning I always liked the fact that the Rangers Apprentice series played with the idea somethings were magical but there was always a logical explanation for it!

So- if i order the book, should i be excited or preparing for the worst?

spoilers for arazan’s wolves under the cut

fellow rangers apprentice fans…..did anyone else feel vaguely uncomfortable about all the anti-celtic sentiments in Arazan’s Wolves? The way they’re depicted as so bitter and superstitious, combined with Will’s dismissal of the whole nation just rubbed me the wrong way, considering how the Celtic nations have historically been treated by England.

Ranger Gathering Day 11: Siege

Just the cleaned sketch this time because I didn't have the time for anything else

When the husband of the woman you were trying to siege comes back early to double-siege you. Must suck, couldn't be me.

Pauline: *enters the room*

Svengal, who thinks Halt is married to the ranger commandant he talks about a lot: Oh, the plot thickens.

What’s up with rangers having slutty little uniforms. Like they’re always just a little too tight why is that

(Flanagan's) ✨️fatphobia in RA, heavily projected into Halt makes no sense ✨️

In the Middle Ages, not being skinny was a sign of prosperity, wealth and security. If someone's bones weren't showing or they weren't made up of only muscles, it meant they didn't have to fight to survive, they didn't know hunger or poverty and they didn't fight their way up the social ladder, they were just born into abundance.

If anyone, Halt, being of noble birth, should know this.

From the series: cultural and social idiocies in books styled to take place in the Middle Ages that annoy me. (The series is a very long one and I will share some of it here for sure because COME ON)

[permettez-moi]

Thinking about my timeline of the Cralty fic, and completely overthrowing it, because it feels nonsensical and like a trr (solaris' version) ripoff

I just need to figure out how to get Halt in Clonmel to Crowley in Araluen and have them fall in love without making half the story non-cralt because they don't know eachother yet.

"Average person in araluen has three children" factoid actually just statistical error. Average person in araluen has one child. Dad halt, who lives in a cabin and adopts every young person he sees, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Ok so me and @iwanttobepheonix made an arrangement where, since she got the books for Christmas, we're both going through and reading them and highlighting our favorite parts. Its super fun and I'm loving it so far, cause now I have an excuse to reread the first book

But y'all

When Will started pleading for Halt not to report him, it's said he had a "flicker of recognition in his eyes"

And I know, logically, that's just a way to plant the seed of him having a soft side

But now I want to know what that means. Because that has so many lovely lovely implications of his past I'm SCREAMING

According to the wiki, Karina Mikkelswife is two years older than Halt and that feels cursed somehow
