Headcanons that also includes Hibernia because I don't see enough of them

Halt takes every chance he can to talk about his culture, trying very heard to not break his stoic persona in the process. He doesn't really have much interaction with his culture since leaving cause there aren't many Hibernian people in Redmont, but he still loves it, so talking about it is the next best thing

The one time he found a Hibernian person in Redmont, she was a traveler selling sheet music for Hibernian folk songs. She gave one to Halt for free cause she loved talking to somebody in her native language so much, and he gave it to Will. Will didn't really practice it that much at first, but eventually, he did play it for Halt on his birthday cause he just wanted to. Halt was very happy =]

Halt carved the words "Mo Anam Cara" ("my soulmate) into Crowleys bow when they were younger-ish. Eventually, that bow ended up getting snapped because of an accident, and Crowley was devastated. Halt noticed he had a new bow at the next gathering and was just like, "Oh, you have a new bow. Did something happen to the last one?" And Crowley like broke down in that 'half being funny half genuinely wanting to cry' way until Halt eventually just took the new one out of his hands and carved the same thingy into it again

Crowley has made a habit of picking up tiny little Hibernian phrases everywhere he can just to use them in front of Halt - Halt loves it

The O'Carrick Family/Hibernia Spiel

(just a few things I looked up and kind of correlated to RA because I'm lowkey obsessed with the entire family as a whole and I don't know what else to do with this knowledge so you, dear reader, are now imbued with it)

"Carrick is ancient Scottish and Irish name that is derived from teh Gaelic word 'carraig' meaning 'rock.'" Dunno if this was Flanagan's intentions or not, but it actually does fit what we know of the family on a metaphorical sense.

Back centuries, people from Ireland were said to have dark skin (and blue eyes). I rest my case.

The name Caitlyn (of Irish origin) means "pure." We know next to nothing about Caitlyn, but it fits her.

Alternatively, the name "Ferris" (also of Irish origin) means "strong man or ironworker." I find that hilariously ironic.

Also alternatively, and someone has probably pointed this out already, Halt's name is from "England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture...comes from when the family lived near a grove or woods." However, unlike Ferris's name, it does fit.

How royal succession worked in medieval Ireland is actually highly debated and uncertain. There's a whole article here on how this could have worked but my brain says no to summing it up. But something in there mentions that brother to brother succession was usually avoided, so if Halt had become King and let's say he produced one or several heirs, the likeliehood of Ferris having to kill the entire royal family would be pretty high.

Another basic point is that seniority rules, but that seems obvious.

There's an irish myth/legend of "the message of the butterflies...They move between worlds and bring messages and warnings. They are said to be souls, waiting to be reborn on earth." Nothing too specific I found solely interesting—don't get me wrong, it is cool—but I mainly found it eye-catching cause of Will's given nickname in The Emperor of Nihon-Ja. Not that Will is Hibernian, but Halt might've known that.

Leprechauns. "Little People." That's it.

Back to royal families again. One of the popular ways of succession was tanistry, an early Irish law, where the "reigning chief" would choose which of the male relatives to succeed him. Said chosen one also had to be elected from certain people. An interesting idea if the twins' father had chosen Ferris. But this was also banned during the years of James I due to the violence and wars it caused.

Isidore of Seville is known to be "one of the earliest medieval writers [of] Ireland." Ireland is referred to in his notes as "Hibernia." Maybe that's common knowledge already, but I didn't know that. And after the Normal Invasion, it was known as "Dominus Hiberniae."

In another article, it was stated that Ireland was "a country divided into two 'nations.'" The Anglo-Normal settlers, and the older Gaelic Irish. Ferris's name is of Irish descent. But Halt's is Anglo-Saxon and while it's not Anglo-Norman, their namesakes were from different sides. Take with that what you will.

I find it funny that the harp is literally one of the symbols of Ireland and yet Halt is so utterly tone-deaf.

Céad Mhíle Fáilte agus Hello Friends

Welcome to my inaugural post here at @irishhistorynerd.

I thought, what better place to start this blog than with Ireland herself, and all of her other names. So indulge me as I show you all the etymology and meaning behind the wonderful names of Ireland.

Starting with the most known,

Ireland: Ireland is made of two parts, 'ire' and 'land.' Ire doesn't come from the english word ire, meaning anger, but the Irish name for the country being Éire (Air-ah). The last three letters were taken and land was added to the end, making Ireland.

But where does Éire come from? Well that'd be from the Old Irish word Ériu, the matron goddess of the land of Ireland.

Éirinn and Éireann are both grammatical forms of Éire.

Erin originates from Éirinn and is notable for being a common poetic way to refer to Ireland. They personified Ireland as a beautiful woman named Erin in their poetry and songs.

Hibernia is another name used for personifying Ireland. The name is the Latin word for Ireland. It comes from the Roman Historians's Tacitus' book 'Agricola.' While Hibernia isn't much used as a name for Ireland anymore, its compound form is more commonly used to mean Ireland or Irish, e.g. Hiberno-English means the Irish dialect of english.

The Emerlad Isle, a common epithet for Ireland, first shows up in print in the 1795 poem by William Drennan, 'When Erin First Rose.' It references the beautiful green fields of the Irish countryside.

The Land of Saints and Scholars is another common epithet. Which goes to show the magnitude of influence the catholic church had on ireland. One of the most famous saints in the world, Saint Patrick, is the patron saint of ireland and is mythologically responsible for converting a large nu,ber of people to catholicism and driving evil (the snakes) away from the land. Our scholars date back to the dark ages, where monks would work tirelessly to transcribe copies of text in an age where literacy was at a shocking low. Our tradition of scholars continued on for centuries, with the monks being replaced by great writers and poets such as Padraig Pearse, W. B. Yeats, and James Joyce.

So there we go! the most common names for Éire and her land. I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to follow for more fun Irish knowledge.

And of course I'm only human, if I made any many mistakes please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible.

i totally subscribe to the headcanon (au?) that halt's not his real name btw. in my mind it goes like, he only spoke hibernian when he first came to araluen and met a guard patrol or something. they tried to stop him and he dipped, but that left such an impression on him that next time someone asked for his name he went "halt" out of sheer instinct. and the person who asked was crowley so he didn't think twice about it and just went "you wanna join my revolution" and halt said "ya" and then they stayed best friends for 50 years

#now you might say 'what about pritchard' #and to that i say obviously pritchard learned hibernian while in hibernia. he was simply that good :) #rangers apprentice #i should also stress that this is simply how gay friendships work for those uninitiated #you meet some guy and his name is blade or some shit and youre like sick. you wanna play stardew valley #and they always say yes #halt o'carrick #crowley meratyn #not a quote #shitpost

Catalogue of Whaling Supplies for the Whaler Hibernia 1849, by Edward Samuel Ritchie.

The text, which consists of a complete list of all the items that the captain of a whaling ship would wish to purchase in preparation for a voyage, has been extensively annotated with the quantities of each item required for the voyage of the whaler Hibernia (1811), and in some cases the prices and other notes.

Ranger's Apprentice AU where the banishment wasn't just for a year and this changes surprisingly little about the third and fourth books until very near the end (apart from Horace having more stress and Halt having more internal angst).

Halt literally does not tell Will until they're on the ship back to Araluen; even then, an increasingly worried Horace needs to push him into it

Halt A) refuses to explain it properly, meaning Will is just baffled by the idea of Halt committing treason, and B) moves straight into discussing how this will or won't affect Will's life. He can still go back, and is definitely still part of the Corps, and Halt is 95% sure Crowley will approve Gilan as his new mentor if they ask...

Will has a rare instance of completely losing his temper at Halt in a teenage explosion, ending in a shouted "DO YOU EVEN WANT ME??" as he stomps away

(Yes, at least half the ship heard this. It's fine, it's fine. There are no secrets aboard longships anyway, there isn't room for them)

Will unloads the whole thing to Horace and Cassandra, about how Halt is just planning on passing him off to somebody else now he's rescued and he didn't even tell him and why?? why is any of this happening???

Genuinely, the boy is Very Upset

Horace is not experienced in personal mediation but he is qualified to point out "Um, Halt really hates being banished, he probably doesn't want to inflict it on you too because it's a bad thing"

He also explains the actual story behind Halt getting himself banished, which helps a bit

Cassandra has to process the banishment bit but is more taken aback by the second revelation that Will wants to follow Halt into banishment and Leave Araluen Forever

It's like a domino effect of abandonment issues!!

But because she's shocked, she actually says what she's thinking, which means the boys are able to explain that well yeah, Will doesn't want to leave Halt, would you want to be separated from your dad forever right after getting him back?

She's like "...oh"

The process of drawing that parallel is helpful for everyone concerned, actually

Anyway, Will calms down and goes off to have another talk with Halt (who is ALSO not happy because now he might have to say goodbye to Will forever WHILE Will is MAD AT HIM). Halt explains he wants Will by his side but more he wants what's best for him, and wandering the face of the earth is Not It. Will counters that he'd lose more by losing Halt than by leaving the Corps, which... is a lot for Halt to process, but was also almost exactly Halt's train of thought last book, so it's not like he can just shut it down.

They go back and forth some more but ultimately agree Will is going to stay with Halt. I don't know if Familial Words are actually used but honestly I think they are, because "you're my DAD" is the only context in which this decision makes total sense and they both know that.

Of course, Cassandra has been setting up a counter-scheme with Erak's collusion this whole time, so when they dock in Araluen Erak immediately asks Duncan for the lifting of Halt's banishment as a Formal Diplomatic Boon.

Emergency over, return to your homes, eucatastrophe all round! Will and Halt are just left with the established fact that they would have gone into banishment together if circumstances required it.

Also Cassandra and Will separate on somewhat better terms because she knows how much he wants to go home to his cabin. (Although Will's class issues are definitely still a thing.)

#oakleaf adoption agency #this is inspired by thinking about what halt's post-rescue plans were for him and will in case of permanent banishment #and i realized that a) i don't think he HAD a plan. he didn't even plan for the canon situation at the dock which was SUPER AVOIDABLE #i think at time of banishment he was simply Not Thinking about his future beyond the step of rescuing will #but also b) he hates being banished so much and he still loves the corps and again he has NO plans for his future so #he's not dragging will into that!! i think his goal really would have been to send will Home where he would be Safe and Have A Future #he's not going to save will only to turn around and make him (in halt's view) Lose Everything #(and also like. i'm pretty sure halt hates every nearby country that isn't araluen. and has filled most of them with personal enemies) #(where would he and will GO) #(gallica? hates it. skandia? exhausting at best. teutlandt? doesn't seem to be a fan. hibernia? hahhahahahha NO)

Pritchard being shocked to his core every time Halt opened his mouth for the first two weeks after showing up in Araluen again because he's used to Halt acting more polite and kinder and less like... Halt

sorry but I can't accept Ancient Celtic personifications if they're not at least slightly feral. And I mean feral in like a good way. in my opinion the order goes

Gaul - the most feral, will fight u

Hibernia - also will fight u, come get some.

Britannia - only so far down on the list cause Rome 'civilized' her

Caledonia - pretty calm, only visible feral when he's pissed

Noricum - can blend into a group of Romans if she tries. does she try? no.
