Ranger Gathering Day 3: Trickster

Gilan honestly strikes me as the one who would fit the moniker of trickster the most considering some of his antics. So here is a Gilan who is most definitely up to something that many hapless people might later wish he hadn't been.

YALL ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THE ABSOLUTE GOLD MINE I FOUND IN MY JOURNALS

ITS THE LIST I KEPT WHEN I WAS MAKING RA AS VINES YOUTUBE VIDEOS

In book 4 I think, it’s mentioned that the first year of battleschool training puts a heavy focus on the laws of chivalry and how that’s why Horace is so appalled that Halt would forge a king’s seal.

Can we just appreciate how perfect that is. Horace just barely stopped being a dick to everybody like he was in the ward, at which point I assume he’d feel pretty lost. A personality 180 like his isn’t an easy process. I’m sure he was like “how am I supposed to be a good person now that I’m not outletting my insecurities through bullying?”and coincidentally at the same time Rodney’s like “here’s the 10 step program to not being a dick” and Horace saw that and was like “fuck yea this is actually exactly what I was looking for” and then he never let it go. I love him so much I wish my mind could be as straightforward as his

Gonna vent a little about some stuff going on in my personal life so just ignore me if you want…

So about a month ago my cousin died leaving her son with her mom (my aunt)

My aunt was already in really bad health and ever since my cousins death has just completely stopped taking care of herself and is now in the hospital on a ventilator

I’ve had a lot of family members end up the same way so I know there’s no way my aunt is making it, at this point it’s just a matter of time before she passes

Me and my mom have already been taking care of my cousin’s son (who I’ll just be calling M) since my aunt has been in the hospital and we’ve been trying to decide what we’re going to do once my aunt passes

There’s only so many options for M as he’s only 15, is severely autistic, and his bio dad has never had anything to do with him

Essentially either we take custody of him or he goes into foster care

Obviously we don’t want M to be put into the system, and want him to be with family he knows

But I am so god damn over whelmed right now yall have no idea I have a literal CHILD relying on me now after he’s lost everyone else

WHAT THE FUCK

Call me Halt the way I just adopted a 15 year old

they've tried to put me on the cover of the vogue

[millietalksra]

This part is so sweet to me because Halt absolutely did not need to be there. He could have so easily just left Gilan alone to sleep and he wouldn't have been in any danger at all, and Halt could have gone and gotten ready for the fucking war. But no, he chose to stay with Gilan for six fucking hours.

(I know he probably didn't stay the whole time but it's sweeter if you think he did so I'm going with that)

Millie makes an RA post what’s it going to be about this time??

Gilan?

Horace?

Dragons and magic?

Fuck it all three

This just reminded me that Ares may be the god of war but he’s also the protector of women… very Horace coded

Okay so like before I can get into the au I have to really explain that Horace Altman is, always has been, and always will be my knight in shining armor in every sense of what that may mean.

Like have you ever seen that trend where it like “imagine you’re alone in a room with man, real or fictional, and you feel completely safe, who’s the man?” Literally it’s Horace, all day every day.

And It’s literally just because for me he is the picture of women respecting masculine protectiveness if that makes any sense. Like Horace would be the type of man that would sit and listen to women’s issues and actively be anti-misogynist and do what he can to make the women around him feel comfortable because he knows that he’s this big muscular warrior and that could be intimidating and make a woman feel unsafe in his presence. Like intentionally offering his hand to someone who might need it to steady themselves, but not grabbing them, those sort of things.

Horace would be the man that would check how other men behave towards women. Like “locker room” talk among the knights and warriors? Absolutely fucking not, If you can’t speak respectfully you won’t speak at all, and he would break someone’s jaw to make sure they shut up for good. You want to grab at the serving girls or girl around the towns and villages? You suddenly do not have hands to grab with.

Like I just need you all to understand that everywhere Horace goes, he acts like a guardian protector for the girls and women who do not have protection. When the knight of the oak leaf visits EVERYONE can walk safely in the night because no one is willing to risk his wrath, and this continues long after he leaves.

And this is all mostly because of our beloved Horace’s own morals and personality, but what if something had happened in Gallica that had triggered this?

Begging not asking all of my RA girlies to watch Vinland Saga if you haven’t it’s genuinely one of the best anime’s I’ve watched and the main character reminds me so much of Will

WE ALL HAVE ONE SINGLE BRAIN CELL ON GOD

Au where Gilan becomes friends with the madam of a high end brothel in his fief. They’re close friends (VERY close) and come to an agreement where the madame shares secrets she and her girls overhear from her clients with Gilan and in turn he makes sure no one messes around with her establishment. When Gilan eventually becomes commandant and moves to Araluen fief the madam also decides to relocate

Update:

It’s just these two

Thanks to @snowcoming for the Dick Grayson comparison it reminded me of when I realized this is what I think Gilan looks like

And yeah no this is perfection

Personally I think Gilan deserves an apprentice too (I mean like yes Will is his lil bro and he did train Horace a bit with dual wielding techniques but I’m talking a real apprentice)

Like I think Flanagan should’ve given Gilan a feral woods child who had been stolen from their family and it’s this whole thing where Gilan’s on the trail of the bad guys and right when he’s about to arrest/kill/whatever them the feral child who had their family killed by the bad guys and was taken by them gets to it before Gil does

And it’s like full Eren Jeager shit this kid is going ape shit with a knife on the closest guy and Gilan is like “okay I guess we’re doing this” and they just take em all down

And In typical ranger fashion Gilan’s like “hey kid if you’ve got nowhere else to go I’ll train you or whatever”

I just think it would be amazing like this:

But actually:

Because really Gilan is just as bad but better at hiding it
