#ranger's apprentice early years

[theoakleafpancake]

Rereading the end of Hackham Heath and I love how Halt calls Gilan a youngster when he's literally only sixish years older than Gil

Rereading Battle at Hackham Heath for the first time in years, and holy shit no wonder Morgarath has so much beef with rangers. Bro literally had every advantage on his side, the only thing he didn’t have was Araluen rangers. And he got his ass handed to him. Because of that one factor. Like yea I think I also would still hold that grudge 15 years later

working on my King Halt AU and by god. the ages are insane. why is halt apparently a teenager in the early years. Crowley is in his early twenties. they should be at the club

Thinking about TEY Cralt

Apologies to my followers, I’ve been in a silly goofy mood tonight. More of my usual content coming soon, I promise!

This is for my sister @peapodsinspace she convinced me to draw Morgie lol

Shout out to 11 year old me who had a huge crush on him for some reason (maybe because I imagined him looking like this)

RA artists feel free to use this design if you like it!

[rangers-and-the-nutcracker]

if for some reason your pick (outside of halt & co) wasn’t listed, also let me know. not adding pritchard either because everyone would pick pritchard. i would pick pritchard...

[that-one-enby-ranger]

The renegade rangers know that Halt goes by Arratay when he's undercover and also know what it actually means so they'll call Halt that at the gatherings as a sort of inside joke and to confuse all the other rangers

[rangercorpstherapy]

I hereby banish the Cralt brainrot from your mind and allow you to enjoy The Early Years for the plot

[Image ID: the meme of a car speeding onto a highway off ramp. The highway is labelled "calmly and rationally greeting the prince"; the off ramp is labelled "complaining that people in Araluen are unusually reluctant to throw themselves out of windows"; and the car is labelled "Halt meeting Duncan for the first time". /end]

been refusing to read the royal ranger for fucking years because im scared of wills beard but the need for new halt content overruled it and i read the first two books and am waiting on the third for like 3ish pages of halt content and its portraying him as old so im frantically rereading the the early years for my silly lil gay to be killing people and hanging out with his ginger husband

Halt, a literal prince, used to people observing court etiquette, their own rooms and belongings, looking at a bunch of Rangers running to the bonfire to get water for coffee at the first round of boiling water:

Halt, slowly taking a step back: What a barbarism

Crowley, raised with several siblings, organising games at Gatherings from the age of fifteen, always surrounded by a bunch of people and knowing that sometimes if you don't fight for a blanket, you just don't get one:

Crowley: It's easier than you think! Just don't get bitten or trampled!

Halt:

Halt: ...what?

Crowley: Don’t let them know how scared you are!

Halt:

Crowley: Why are you running? Fight!

Ok but Halt and Crowley canonically being the only two rangers to share a tent?????????? They definitely cuddling idc what you say

[peapodsinspace]

Trained in the stiletto?

Indeed.

Here’s this doodle I whipped up after seeing a post by @anarchist-aquarius

Also tagging @ask-lord-morgarath because fanart!

I accidentally turned the wargal into puppy-bears instead of ape-bears but they’re cuties

Also if you’re wondering why the wargles are sorta short, it’s cus they’re babies!!! He’s *training* them!

Original post under the cut!
