Massacre in the desert (feat. Gilan and Selethen).

Ranger Gathering 2024 - 8. puzzle

What happened to Oberjarl?

[rangerangel]

A little Selethen treat while I prep for the Gathering :)) he's my little guy fr, I wish he was in more of the books. Someone write me a fanfic about a day in the life of the wakir fr

[Image ID: Two pictures, the first one being a close up of Seley el'then, the first character in the boxes; and the second one being the six fanarts template from earlier. The first box has a gradient background from red to yellow. Selethen has his arms crossed and a smile on his black-bearded face, his dark brown eyes matching the calm smile. He has a big nose that bumbs out at the top and points downward slightly at the end. He has metal-studded leather armor over top of a thin white long-sleeve shirt. A belt is seen around his waist; nothing is shown below that. Chain-mail hangs loosely around his face, making a curved V shape; on top of that is a white cloth wrapped around his head, the excess of it flowing like long hair. On top of the cloth is an "acorn shaped" helmet. /End ID]

Thanks for the recommendation @permettez-moi :3. I've never drawn Selethen before, as you might know, so this took more time than I thought it would (coming up with a design and all that—I might edit his design still but we'll see). But it was fun! I started reading Erak's Ransom again to get a barring of his personality and the clothing that Flanny describes him in. I forgot how much I liked his character.

Surely most people can agree with me that Jenny and Gilan as a ship is not very good?! Like it makes me physically uncomfortable with the age gap, not to mention they started making moves almost as soon as Jenny became an adult iirc. Also I personally don’t think that it would work. Gilan and Jenny are both too in love with their jobs, they’re very different people (yeah yeah opposites attract but that’s too much opposites for me), they just can’t relate either. Yeah sure there was the lost stories short, but fending off three crooks compared to fending off bandit attacks on tax caravans is hardly comparable. Also, Gilan saying he’s gonna leave his post at the castle in TRR 6?! That’s stupid and plain dumb. That makes sense for the commandant to be away from his most valuable fucking posting. How the hell would that work, hm Flanny?! There’s already TWO TO THREE EXTREMELY QUALIFIED RANGERS THERE (one is retired but only in title)

“Oh yeah, I know I’m like, your most trusted advisor and stuff, Cassandra, and like, this is the best possible headquarters as commandment, but there’s this girl in Redmont.. and even though realistically our relationship won’t work, I should really move the-.”

“ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT?! NO!”

“But-“

“GO TO YOUR ROOM!”

It genuinely pisses me off. Gilithen supremacy. At least they could work better. Goddamn you Flanagan and your lack of sense.

More RA headcanons, part 3

Selethen is really good at chess

Foldar can't sing for his life. This is a very sore point so do not bring it up

Cassandra likes to experiment with Alyss's disguise makeup

#7, Culture

In Arrida there are three different kinds of cultures

You have Umar who leads a group of the Bedullin. They travel around and have a yellow checkered colour and are united by that

There is Selethen and the normal Arridi, they just have a yellow colour and live in towns except for Selethen himself of course, but hey he's also just an Arridi

And you have the Tualagi, lead by Yusal. They raid travelers and live in the desert between the rocks. As the only one Yusal covers his face, mostly to stay mysterious towards other people, but also to hide his not tanned face ;)

All in all, they all have very different cultures even though they live in the same country

Edit: somebody said I whitewashed Umar. I really don't want my art to be offensive to anybody, but I'm sorry that I made the mistake. I tried to change it now but I'm in the car so drawing without mistakes is a pain in the ass, but here's a better picture. It's still not great, but I hope I kinda fixed it now. My apologies, I really did not mean to insult somebody

[chaotic-bi-bish]

GilanxSelethen

Ok, so I know I'm not the only one who ships this, but can anyone deny how perfect this is??? Like when Selethen calls Gil "friend Gilan" I melt. Literally. Also consider this:

Gilan coming back to Arradia, and Selethen giving up all decorum and running to hug Gilan, and Gil laughing with his head thrown back, then grabbing Selethen's face and kissing it long and hard.

I just love them <3

United - Epilogue

Hi everyone!

I have been absolutely horrible at posting chapter updates to Tumblr, sorry.

However, I just posted the final chapter and epilogue to 'United'. It's been a huge work in progress and I would love to share it all with you. Hopefully you enjoy it! Have a great day!

[maidenofcrows]

More things said at my work as incorrect quotes:

Will, probably: I’m going to loose my fingerprints over this job.

>>—————>

Literally any Ranger, but also Crowley specifically: Your answer determines how unhinged my methods towards achievement will be.

>>—————>

Cassandra, at one point but also more than once: I’m a better fighter than you and I’m pregnant!

>>—————>

Selethen, because vibes: Did we put the skull back?

>>—————>

Horace: Why is there a crisp in my shoe?

[that-one-enby-ranger]

Okay okay okay I'm here for the honest ship thing *giddy with excitement*

Gilan/ seley' el then

I don't really care about this ship. To me they didn't have enough interactions to ship them in any way, and I would say I'm surprised that people ship them in the first place but at this point I'm not sure any ship would surprise me because people will ship anyone.

And that is my honest opinion about those motherfuckers

[vilewile]

Can we talk about that scene in Erak's Ransom where Selethen accuses the team of trying to fuck him over and Halt's brain immediately spawns 256 processes calculating how to steer the conversation from there, only for Horace to barge in with something like: "Get real dude, we couldn't have known this, Halt may be good at scheming but no one is that good." And Halt is just so pleased and finishes Selethen off with "Yes yes, exactly. Besides, do you think us capable of such duplicity?" All the while being, in fact, good enough to pull off such a scheme and capable of just about any kind of duplicity if situation called for it.

Shoutout to the three (3) gilan/seley el'then(selethen) fics on ao3 keeping me sane

[rangerangel]

would you all believe I actually have an RA painting literally 80% completed in my art app. And yet. The motivation is just not striking me to finish it. So here you go, take a guess about who the character portrait is!
