It’s so funny to me because I’ve only been on tumblr like a month and I got it for the rangers apprentice content (because god knows that the fandom is nonexistent elsewhere) and I can recognize users and profile pictures. Like I don’t know these people personally but I notice every time they like a post because there’s only so many of us and only so much content FOR consuming. I go on Pinterest and search the rangers apprentice and go “Hey, I’ve seen that person around!!” I have never spoken a word to these people in my life yet I know who they are and that they, too, are obsessed with a stupid fantasy series for middle schoolers

#rangers apprentice #john flanagan #will treaty #halt o'carrick #ranger's apprentice #gilan davidson #horace altman #hi rangers apprentice fandom #this isn’t necessarily targeted but also it is but not in the “im taking to you”’ way yk #the rangers apprentice fandom feels like middle schoolers trying to start a club but it was a group of friends who made it and no one else #cares to join them but they’re still just as enthusiastic about it anyway #also we all worship redrose arrow she is literally our god

Just got back into RA (:

[alphazed]

Redrawn ra comic!! When I drew this I loved (and i still love) the relationship Halt and Will have. I imagined that Will never really got a lot of physical contact at the orphanage therefore he gets very happy everytime Halt would give him a pat on his shoulder or ruffle his hair.

It's also so nice to see that I have improved so much and I aspire to keep improving ofc

I also want to thank @artsysurvivor by saying those nice things in your tags, it really made my day! I hope you enjoy this comic :D

For anyone interested i have hidden the paper old- and redrawn version under the cut.

"ranger's apprentice is a kids series"

oh ok, meanwhile

Will's drug addiction

Halt's traumatic childhood

Horace's bullies quite literally almost murdering him

The fucking creepy Kalkara things

Pretty much every violent fight scene

Sir Karen quite literally mind-controlling Alyss and attempting to seduce her

Will graphically almost dying in the desert from dehydration

Halt almost dying in b9

Horace using a literal torture method to get an answer out of the Genovesan (bro just casually poisoned him and made him run around to make it spread faster through his bloodstream like can someone say iconic)

The way Will's parents were basically both murdered

Will's speech for Horace and Cassandra's wedding. (it's just not suitable for any person of any age)

The graphically portrayed animal abuse

Alyss' death. Which was actually pretty gruesome, she died in pretty much the most tragic way someone could die. A fire so intense her body was never even recovered? which is um kind of traumatizing imo

Will's 'vigilante shit-- revenge' era, and his depression being handled very very poorly by his friends and family (literally made me angry reading those chapters for the first time)

Maddie quite literally getting drunk. at 15 years old. ma’am.

Dimon and Maddie's hookup

many, many, many, deaths. like many on-screen deaths. like one day I’m gonna go through the books and make a kill count. there’s legit a lot of death. (i am actually going to make a kill count now)

Rangers, in general, are pretty brutal people tbh. The way they handle a lot of situations is just kinda like "Eh strip them down to their underwear. dehumanize them, they deserve it." and ummm sure it's "funny" and I think that's what Flanagan was going for, but it's a littleee edgy on a moral level like calm down, they tried to rob you, but calm down

On that note, Gilan legitimately thinking of hanging some highway robbers and only being stopped because of the lack of trees around him. truly an icon.

Being a decently sized fandom makes creating so hard. Not "There's no one else that likes the things I do," but more like, "There's a few people doing this, and they already do it so well, so what's the point for me to try?"

I know being a fan and creating isn't a competition, but sometimes its just hard to exist when you see others doing so well at something, and you can't help but compare yourself to them.

Yes, this is vague posting but not in a malicious way, just in a depressed way.

Beside the fact art is always, first and foremost, for yourself and no one else and you shouldn't restrain yourself in your creation process because there are other people who do things 'better' than you. I would like to remind you of this post i think everyone on here as seen at least once.

#rangercorpstherapy #ranger's apprentice #rangers apprentice #this fandom is so small i can't imagine anyone thinking 'oh no not another person making art for this niche historical fantasy book!!'

I've been debating on if I wanted to say something about this or not, but I realized that, in the end, nothing is going to change unless someone says something. And if y'all have an issue with what I'm going to say, I will be open to talking about this--with the understanding that its a good-faith discussion.

Either way.

People active in this fandom nowadays are so ready to call others out for anything from using AI to posting a picture they found on Pinterest. And I'm not saying that this stuff is okay, but I really think people need to reconsider putting others on blast for something as minor as one or two social missteps. Calling someone out shouldn't be used in situations like these, because all it's doing is publicly shaming them. Calling someone out (or shaming them via anon messages) is incredibly hostile and in the end just encourages people to stop interacting with the community entirely. I'm not even the target of these messages, but y'all are making me feel like I'm being watched what I say and do, else I'll be the one to get anon messages about me next. 99% of the time, calling out should be used when other (more private) messages have been ignored or the situation simply isn't safe.

Calling people out and shaming them for doing something they might not understand the nuance of is making this fandom an unwelcome space. Other creators have left the fandom and consciously decided not to come back because of behavior similar to this or being taken for granted. I've decided to stop writing simply because of the way people have treated my work in the past. Going to an anon blog and shaming someone, or making a post not naming names but being really obvious about who you are talking about, rather than actually talking about it, is making RA a hostile community.

In the end, if you have an issue with someone, or feel like there's some social cue that they missed, just message them. Publicly shaming them and starting arguments is not going to solve anything, but rather chase people away.

And for what it's worth, this is not the same for if someone is being openly, violently bigoted. Call someone in, privately, for missteps or genuine misunderstandings. Call someone the fuck out if they're being a violent bigot or if they're ignoring other calling in messages.

#ranger's apprentice #rangers apprentice #ra fandom #ranger's fandom #rangers fandom #the whole thing yesterday left such a bad taste in my mouth #an anon message with zero context is not what you should be basing your behavior on #also #a LOT of people in the fandom are KIDS #imagine if your first interaction on this hellsite is being shamed for not realizing that tracing is bad #i don't want to be the bitch on the moral high ground but i want nothing to do with that behavior

i love how basically everyone in the fandom now basically is just liuke "halt loves ducks :D" since @that-one-enby-ranger started headcanoning it in one of their fanfics (i think it was in the chaos games but correct me if i'm wrong)
