i'm screaming y'all

So recently, I've been celebrating over the fact that I managed to get my bro to read the RA series.

He's obsessed with it now, obviously, and I take every opportunity I can to remind him and shove it back in his face that he once called the series Boring (I know right? How could he!).

Anyways, I was eating in the kitchen when I brother came in and said to me, "I like Handel."

Now, he is currently up to reading Icebound Land.

So, I looked at him funny and asked why, he responded with,

"Well, because he gave Will the rags and the warm-thingy"

😶

Bro didn't understand what occurred 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I got my boxed set!!

My only issue against this is, this beautiful box seems to be slightly damaged "Stupid Amazon."

Oh well. I'm still happy that I got my copies. Now I have five books from this series, and all of them are my top favorite. I'm glad I supported the Author a bit.

I think I'll survive without the other five.

Do you think Will sometimes relapses?

That sometimes he crosses a poor addict of warmweed, and he has to deal with them, make sure they're safe etc,

Do you think he falters, as he sees the herbs?

How he has to focus more than anything, when the smell becomes too inputend?

How he'll spend the next weeks, catching himself thinking about warmweed?

Do you think that sometimes happens?

Skandia

On the twelfth day of the crossing, they made a landfall with the Skandian coast—exactly where Erak had predicted they would fetch up. From the admiring glances the men cast at the Jarl, Will could tell that this was a considerable feat. ... “He’s caught Loka’s current perfectly,” Svengal told them as he prepared to climb to the lookout position on the mast’s crosstrees. ... “Ah well,” he said, seizing hold of a halyard to haul himself to the top of the mast, “we should reach home in two or three hours.” (The Icebound Land)

Day 9: Storm

In which two children, far too young, endure a vicious storm while tied to a Skandian wolfship. Little did they know, it would only get worse from here.

Do you know what happens when my head meat mixes a fandom I was in three years ago with the one I've been in since four years ago? Correct, the nations from RA get humanifications hetalia style.

Following are some elaborations as to how I imagine some of the countries, I do not blame you if this is too long for you.

For some reason, Araluen would probably be one of the few girls around. She gives off like early day Hungary vibes, aka. scary fighting woman for those who haven't watched hetalia. But she'd be less fighting and more war strategy and big brain. Also, since we learned from England that nations can do magic if there are rumours claiming so, it is obvious that the rumours that rangers can do magic are the source of her magical powers. In my head, she wears a green skirt with a big slit, and leather armour and pants on a daily basis, and on fancy events she wears a green dress with weapons hidden in it.

Skandia looks like the average Viking to me. He seems not too smart at first sight, but if you dare to challenge his knowledge of one of his areas (aka. sailing, fighting, etc.) you will regret it. He also learns a lot from his mistakes and got obssed with the idea of justice and trading after getting closer with Araluen.

Speaking of, they are very close. They killed each other a lot in older days, but who cares. But simply put: Araluen is the brains while Skandia is the brawl, and they work incredibly well together, to the point where you only see them around together. Araluen says they're besties, while Skandia thinks otherwise. They were once asked if they were married, because literally everybody ships them, and when Ara said no Skandia was confused, thinking that they were. Yes I have a lot of fun making this up. Also, they bicker. Like. A lot.

If Skandia is Araluen's lover, Arrida is pretty much her bestie. In my head he is a tall and kind fellow, but he never speaks a word. I have not decided on him being mute or just being, I don't know, scared of saying the wrong thing. Either way, he is a great listener, being both Skandia and Araluen's comfort person. When they are in a bad mood, all they need is a cup of his coffee and the world is taking a step away from being engulfed in war. Arrida thirdwheels them a lot, but he's fine with it and enjoys their arguing. Yet, this friendship with Ara didn't start on neutral ground. No, Arrida saw himself forced to stick around, to repay an old debt.

Oh? You want to know what debt I'm talking about? Well, it's the equivalent to the promise Skandia made when he first started to 'spend time with' (read: start bothering by stealing her things) Araluen. Does that explain it?

While Arrida is used to the never-ending bickering, the last member of this quartette, Nihon-Ja, is not. The poor fellow is constantly trying to ease the tension until Arrida symbolises him to stop. Generally, he seems a little lost between these western nations, preferring tea over coffee and being, frankly speaking, scared of Skandia's hugs, but he enjoys it nonetheless. He is the calm and gentle, the secluded guy you visit after a long day to watch the wind in the trees. But don't get me wrong, this guy still can be an absolute threat. I recommend not getting on his bad side, because it will hurt both physically and psychologically to do so. I mean, there has to be a reason why he reached out to Skandia and Arrida after the incident with Araluen, right? Appearance wise, I can't decide whether he's like Japan or more of a middle-aged general/dad who's seen his fair share of violence.

Now that the quartette is completed, I want to introduce one more country, Gallica. He's a bit unstable. A pretty man who charms restlessly before turning into a violent prick. He seems trustworthy, but his mind can change an instant. He's had a lot of quarrels with Araluen (in which she often emerged victorious), which lead him to hate her. Sometimes, though, he admires her as well. Anyhoo, Araluen is rather apathic towards him, just showing surface-level kindness which gets on his nerves. He would start more fights, if he wasn't scared of her.

Yes, he is scared of her because of the incident. I don't blame him, honestly. I would be too if I knew that my neighbour who doesn't really like me can do the impossible.

Anyhoo, if you read so far, thank you for wasting your time on me.

Also, forgot to mention, the quartette always have their backs, making floks scared of them, hence the name 'The Feared Four'

*on the battlefield* Horace: Anyone else scared? Will: Not really, I've already lived longer than I expected

[biggestqiblifan]

We all remember this scene right? Its from the Oakleaf Bearers, (or Battle for Skandia).

Its the scene where Erak and his men wanted to stay and hold the Temujai off for a few days, but Halt decided to show them the reality.

I just had to make a comment on this.

Lets imagine for a moment that Halt really is the Temujai General.

What would happen?

Ans: Goodbye Western World.

Their damned lucky that Halt isn't the general.

The amount of joy I got from the mere promise of Skandians is ridiculous

underrated scenes from the battle of skandia

read this book in one sitting in a hotel hot tub... here we go

(every scene. it’s every scene)

- the very first page, when it takes Will a solid five minutes to figure out that the sound of dripping water means Thaw

- when Halt and Horace are heading to Skandia from Teutlandt, and Halt can tell that Horace is holding in a question, except Horace has decided not to ask the question, and Halt is going *absolutely nuts* because he wants to know what the question is

- Will tracking Evanlyn and the Temujai who captured her for hours on foot through the snow, despite being desperately out of shape, and he continues on by remembering everything Evanlyn’s done for him

- Halt arriving just in time to save will from the Temujai, and they’re both crying at the reunion. also Tug going batshit crazy when he senses Will in the vicinity and then refusing to leave his side.... yes these are tears in my eyes

- Halt: “I left what I considered a fair price” for the Temujai horses... the fair price being Absolutely Nothing, of course. also, he says this was two decades ago. also, Halt is thirty-six in this scene.

- when Halt and Erak scout the Temujai army for the first time and Halt shoots the Temujai scout from behind cover by picturing where he is in his mind!! what the fuck!!!

- when Halt and Erak escape from the Temujai army and Halt slaps Erak’s horse with his bow to keep it galloping and Erak is clinging on for dear fucking life

- when Halt and Erak return from scouting the Temujai army and Erak dismounts his horse by falling face-first into a snowdrift

- Will regaining his shooting ability, and Erak returning his double knife scabbard because he hoards everything he gets his hands on

- Evanlyn going nuts because she can’t help with the war effort, sneaking onto Slagor��s ship, being trapped there for eighteen hours, discovering an undercover plot, getting exposed as Duncan’s daughter and invoking Ragnak’s Vallasvow to kill her, and turning the fuckin tables on Slagor by exposing him in turn

- Halt dressing up as a Skandian in extremely oversized clothing and subsequently throwing up in the Skandian helmet

- Will and Halt recruiting and training a hundred slaves as archers for the battle, and Will demonstrating incredible leadership skills despite being?? seventeen??

- every moment during the battle, when the little plots and counterattacks that Halt has devised goes exactly to plan, including: Will’s first archer volley taking down an entire Ulan (group of sixty), Will facing literally fifty Kaijin sharpshooters, Horace being the ultimate shieldmate, and Evanlyn directing volleys like a badass. this trio is unmatched.

- also, randomly, POVs from FOUR temujai characters, including the intelligence colonel that exposes Will and Horace’s archers. honestly appreciated because they broke up the battle scenes and Flanagan actually did a fair bit of worldbuilding and characterization

- Horace and Will fighting back-to-back, and Horace tells Will to duck and he flips his sword behind him and stabs the Temujai that Will is fighting

- Evanlyn facing down the deputy general of the Temujai army and his personal bodyguard, not being the slightest bit afraid, and the moment before the downstroke Will throws a knife and kills him

- Halt: “there is not the SLIGHTEST chance Erak becomes Oberjarl” then Erak: “i’m the new Oberjarl” Halt: “i fuckin called it. reverse psychology”

- Horace being knighted by Duncan and appointed to the Royal Guard.

- when Crowley returns Halt’s silver oakleaf and Halt knows that he’s home at last.
