Why have I not seen LITERALLY ANYONE talk about how in Erak’s Ransom, when Will saves the group, Horace yells “Will!!” And holds up his tied hands AND WILL SHOOTS IT AND FREES HIM??? LIKE THAT WAS SO COOL WHY DO WE NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT????? The fact that, number one, Horace knew Will was skilled enough to do it, number two, Horace TRUSTED Will not to shoot his hand, number three, Will understood what Horace wanted him to do, and finally, the fact that WILL WAS ABLE TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?? Now obviously rangers are very trained and blah blah blah but THATS STILL BADASS????

Will
Horace
Cassandra/Evanlyn
Alyss
Gilan

I'll probably add some more later :)
Here are the reference images I used (Midjourney): https://imgur.com/a/cpooa0K

Halt be getting karma, especially after the ah, short skirts comment. Actually, never mind. He was just messing around and trying to keep the poor boy's innocence.
Though, that was kinda ripped away fast.

“Will struggled to keep up with Horace’s long-legged stride-“ Flanagan you liar. Will walks so fast he breaks the sound barrier on a regular basis, I know it. No short person with that much trauma walks at any speed slower than slightly above average. I know from experience btw

Halt, Will and Horace (finally) :]
Will probably should be older but I felt like drawing his younger ruins-of-gorlan version xD

I like Horace because his weaknesses AND strengths as a character are that he’s Just Some Guy. Like he just follows you around, fights during whatever happens and then asks when’s lunch. There’s no personal drama there’s no overt superpower there’s no underlying dire consequence he constantly goes through. He just exists and can swing a sword pretty good. Where he falters? He’s scared of the dark. He’s scared of heights. He’s scared of claustrophobic spaces. He doesn’t think about the yknow inevitability of death or anything like that he’s Just Some Guy

[During The Siege of Macindaw]
Horace: What time is it?
Will: I don't know, pass me my mandola and we'll find out.
Will: *plays mandola loudly and out of tune*
Xander: WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING THE LUTE AT TWO IN THE MORNING?!
Will: It's 2am

I would really like to remind everyone that it’s canon (we didn’t make this up. We didn’t have to make this up Flanagan made it canon for us) that everyone just. Accepts that Will is Halt’s son. Gilan says that even though he and Halt will always be close, Halt and Will’s relationship is much closer and is father & son like. Pauline treats Will as her son. Horace sees Will as his brother and Halt as his uncle. Everyone sees Will and Halt and are like “this man. This man has adopted a child” which is so funny to me because imagine you’re in araluen and you see Greybeard halt who never smiles with his happy son who doesn’t shut up (AND they’re the same height). Flanagan does a lot wrong in the series but making Halt see Will as his son and the found family aspects are NOT one

myself and my best friend planning on going as Will and Horace from Rangers Apprentice this halloween. we have our own money for costumes, and hopefully enough time (curse of ADHD) to actually pull it off. my friend will be going as Horace, in his Oakleaf Knight regalia, and i will be going as fully adult ranger Will.
problem: i’m short, relatively stealthy, and putting me in a camouflage cloak is not going to solve either of these problems. this probably wouldn’t be a big issue if we didn't live in a fairly urban area that is not well known for its pedestrian courtesy, but it is an issue we have to consider.
my friends brilliant solution? Road Safety Horace.
all he has to do is cross the street with me, and since as far as we can find in the books, his Oakleaf Knight costume is a white surcoat, a white shield, and shiny silver chainmaille, he will be fully and obnoxiously visible to any vehicles on the road.
which is all well and good, if not slightly entertaining, but now all i can imagine is Horace standing in the middle of a busy street so Will can run across the road without getting hit by a cart.
