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

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

Ranger Gathering 2024 - 8. puzzle

[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

#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

[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.

Original post - Has all the fandoms I'm in (located in tags) if you want to suggest stuff outside of RA :)

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

I liked doing RA fandom better when I hadn’t read past book 4 and legit had zero fucking idea what anything was. Who’s Maddie? Why is Will grown-up and in fantasy Japan? Why are Gilan and this Selethen dude gay? Why are there lute/mandolin jokes?

Back then all I did was read Skandia trauma fics (love every author who writes them you’re so based) and dive into blatant spoiler territory without context. It was so much fun, especially when I’d just finished book 1, went looking for Will hurt/comfort fics, then stumbled across the most depressing fic about Will being exiled to Nihon-Ja during some kind of apocalypse (???) and I legitimately had to guess who half the characters were. Like I’m not being sarcastic here it was genuinely so interesting to have to reconstruct from no context

Selethen: You have a very fine son

Halt: *chuckles nervously* What? Will is not my son, guys!

Halt, also: Will, you are sleeping without sheets, you will catch a cold

Halt: Is that peanut in this desert, Will is allergic

Halt: Was that a cough, there is cough syrup in the bag, take it

Halt:*wraps Ranger cloak around Will* it's cold

Halt:*looking at the littlest of scracthes on Will's hand* DID YOU GET SHOT?! WHO DID THIS TO YOU?

Halt: *secretly gives the best part of the chicken to Will*

Halt: I once publicly insulted King Duncan to save Will and I WOULD DO IT AGAIN

Selethen:

Erak:

Gundar:

Selethen: HOW THE FUCK IS WILL NOT YOUR SON

[deadartistwalking]

*takes off cool shades* hello RA fandom, its been a while! here's some halt being soft plus a bonus selethen under the cut.

[areomante]

Thinking about Selethen...

Also how old is he suposed to be cause this what i imagine him looking like

(In the books he has a beard but fuck that)

No-Voldemort-Hogwarts AU

Gilan, Crowley, and Halt are flipping Slytherins and no one can change my mind. One time the three of them all took a guided tour of the Ministry and, no one is quite sure how, but the Minister and the Wizengamont all ended up turning purple. All three claim credit for this. (Fred and George adore these three.)

Horace is a Hufflepuff, along with Duncan. (Horace loves having his common room so close to the kitchens.)

Alyss is a Ravenclaw, cause duh. George is also, obviously, a Ravenclaw.

Jenny is a Hufflepuff and an absolutely fabulous witch, especially with Charms and Transfiguration, but chooses to focus on the restaurant she plans on opening in Diagon Alley. She spends a lot of time in the kitchens learning recipes from the house elves and gets along with Mrs. Weasley famously.

Evanlyn is a Gryffindor through and through. She also gets in a lot of trouble for starting duels in the common room, but is the best Chaser that Hogwarts has seen in years.

Pauline is a Slytherin as well and is known for talking circles around the Minister of Magic until he has unknowingly agreed to everything she wanted. (Dumbledore loves hiring her against the school governors and, needless to say, she and Mcgonagall are best friends.)

Shigeru is a Ravenclaw who ends up teaching Herbology after Professor Sprout retires. He is a favorite among the students.

Selethen is a Gryffindor and later becomes one of Kingsley's best Aurors. His biggest problem is Halt's vigilante work causing issues in the Department.

Will, the Sorting Hat had a lot of trouble with him. He could be cunning, when the situation called for it, but he was loyal to a fault as well. His butterfly mind and ideas made him perfect for Ravenclaw, yet it was glaringly obvious that he was braver than all other Gryffindors that the Hat had ever sorted. It isn't until Will says to just put him in any house (because at this point he has been sitting in front of the whole school for longer than anyone else had and is very uncomfortable with the staring) that the Sorting Hat finally decides on Gryffindor.

BONUS:

Erak, Stig, and Svengal are Gryffindors as well.

Hal is a Ravenclaw. For obvious reasons, he is not allowed to try to create new spells anymore. At least, within Hogwarts.

Ingvar is not only a Hufflepuff but also a half giant. (his favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures and he loves spending time talking to Hagrid who understands what it's like to be the odd one out because of their heritage. They aren't related, but Hagrid becomes like an uncle to him.)

Ulf and Wulf are Slytherins and immediately get banned from buying any Weasley Wizard Wheezes after they got ahold of the portable swamps and put one in Erak's treasure room. (Fred and George now just sneak the products to them.)

Edvin is a Ravenclaw and takes an extra class on the weekends to learn about Magical Healing from Madame Pomfrey.

Jesper is actually a Squib who works for Fred and George, but uses muggle "magic tricks" so well that everyone believes he has magic. There is a running bet to try to find out what house he was in.

Stephen and Lydia are muggle borns who were both sorted into Gryffindor. Stephen became a Keeper for the Quidditch team while Lydia quickly became head of the dueling club.

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!

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

[itzzzluna]

The RA boys as pirates:

Halt - captain of the ship

Will - lookout

Crowley - first mate, navigator and planner (actually the real captain but decided to let Halt have the honour) also makes sure they go on shore from time to time because Halt refuses to get seasick again

Horace - cook and rower

Gilan - rower and storyteller

Duncan/Arald/David - a trio constantly pulling pranks on people, but rowing harder than anyone else

George - left at the shore

Erak - constantly fighting over being the captain with Halt. When they have peace he's drink. He's always drunk and refuses to do anything like rowing

Svengal - rower and can't stop comparing everything that happened with his aunt. Everyone needs him to shut up but he doesn't get the hints

Selethen - actually useful. Helps Crowley navigating and a rower

Malcolm - healer of the crew
