My friend recommended it to me as her favourite series after I told her I wanted to read more books with knights and the like. Read RoG and… didn’t vibe with it. Four years after that I received yet another recommendation (+ felt bad for not giving it more of a chance) so I tried again and now here we are. Whacking my high-school self with a sledgehammer for missing out on it all this time
fun fact i only got into rangers apprentice because the first like 5 books were in a free box from the library because they didn't want them for whatever reason and i took all 5 because the covers looked cool.

Hello April
please be kind to me and the ones i love, let this be the happiest and the most blessed Springtime & let me make the most precious memories 🌿🪻🌸
See I have the opposite problem 😭 I’m lukewarm on Will/Alyss but I desperately want to love them together. At this point I need someone to make me a PowerPoint on why they’re such a good pairing because I am very willing to be persuaded
thinking about Will/Alyss rn. someone should invent a surgery that removes a fictional ship from someone’s brain this is out of hand
“Bet I know a thing or two about your dove.” “Like what?” “Like she’s delightful to look at, swishes around in bright colors, and sings like a mockingjay. You love her. And oh, how she seems to love you. Except sometimes you wonder, because her plans don’t include you at all.” Something something, Coriolanus calling Lucy Gray "my girl" versus Haymitch calling Lenore Dove "my girl."

It annoys me when people say that Jest died because Cath decided to save a traitor. Mary Ann was her best friend. She was one of the few people who she loved and who loved her back. Mary Ann was confused and didn't know what to do. The nuance and heartbreak that is Cath's decision to go through the door and save Mary Ann is what's so compelling about Heartless.
Yes, the prophecy was going to be fulfilled, but what was she supposed to do? Let Mary Ann die? The deepness of her decision comes from the fact that whatever she did, someone she loved was doomed to die. That's why this is a tragic story. Whatever Cath decided to do, someone was going to die. And yes, Mary Ann was impulsive and scared, and you could interpret that she "betrayed" Cath. But when was love conditioned by loyalty? Cath loved her, and she couldn't just leave her there to die.
Having just finished KoC, I didn’t expect Halt to take the throne, and I would’ve disliked the outcome had he. But. I absolutely need fanfic of King Halt, had things had gone differently. Call it morbid curiosity.
passing on ownership of this post to you because yeah he absolutely would loll
a series of incorrect quotes based on personal interactions:
tennyson: don’t listen to anything this man says. half of what comes out of his mouth is lies!
halt: no
halt: more than half, i’d say
duncan: when halt began teaching crowley hibernian, i was convinced the two of them would use it to talk about me behind my back
*muffled hibernian bickering in the background*
duncan: as it turns out, they mostly use it to antagonize each other without my interference
halt: do we have to go to this funeral? i don’t even know this man!
pauline: he’s dead, if that helps, so you aren’t likely to meet him!
halt: it doesn’t help
will’s fortune cookie: your persistance will soon pay off
will:
will: I WANT A DOG I WANT A DOG I WANT A DOG I WANT A DOG I
crowley: i don’t see how anyone can drink their coffee with honey. it’s disgraceful
halt, behind him, pouring a copious amount of honey into his coffee: oh, yes — truly unthinkable
crowley: *writes “project” on a chalkboard* alright you motley lot, what should we name this project?
berrigan: operation oakleaf
farell: project coffee-beans
halt: mission ‘see-that-morgarath-never-shows-his—sorry-backside-outside-of-gorlan-again’
crowley:
crowley: *underlines “project”* we’ll think on it
will: *carefully places the final card on top of his card tower and sits back proudly*
pre-character development horace: *turns on fan*
