the cruel prince: world’s most serious game of kiss, marry, kill
Yes.
Weird thought, but do you think Halt ever thought about the fact that Lord Orman’s situation was similar to his own? Being the unlikable, aloof one, and having to contend with the fact that people preferred your much more charismatic relative, regardless of their true nature?
Just a thought.
Me trying to write this sentence:
"Seeing the soldier’s clumsy sword work, Crowley realized that the Hibernian could have simply moved in and driven his saxe into the man’s body as he deflected the blade."
Google: no, not saxe, it has to be a saxophone
if canon won't let crowley absolutely go postal on someone due to that temper we literally never see, i'll have to do it myself
The search continues throughout the seven seas for the elusive “Albert,” who the famous Ranger Halt of Araluen has been seen earnestly searching for from the decks of the Skandian ship Wolfwill on many a voyage. Many a Skandian wolfship has promised to keep a sharp lookout for the Ranger’s friend, amid puzzling bouts of laughter. Presumably, this unfortunate was swept overboard, and though it’s almost certain that he has drowned, Halt’s extended search would indicate that the Ranger has reason to believe he is still alive.
We spoke to Gundar Hardstriker, skirl of Wolfwill, who was seen to clutch his helmet tightly and look about to ensure the Ranger wasn’t on deck before responding. Here’s what he had to say about the search:
“We’ll keep looking, all right, and none harder than our Ranger friend. He spends hours huddled at the bow of the deck, calling Albert’s name over and over…. at least, that’s what I think he’s saying.”
We also spoke to Will, Halt’s former apprentice, who glared at our reporter. “Things are really going to go south if Halt gets wind of this,” he muttered darkly. When pressed as to his meaning, he glanced back apprehensively towards Halt’s cabin and refused to answer further questions.
Halt will not come out of his cabin and thus could not be reached for comment. According to Courier Alyss, he is suffering from a mysterious Gallican illness known as mal-de-mer. We don’t know what this means, but it certainly sounds scary, and we can only hope for his speedy recovery and reunion with his missing friend.
would I run off the world someday, nobody knows
Headcanon that during Scarlet, Cinder and Thorne have one of those cliche late night conversations 😂
Thorne: If we’re not married by 30, let’s marry each other! Cinder: I’d rather stab myself with an eggbeater. Thorne: I’m just saying, we’d make a great power couple. You’re smart, I’m charming— Cinder: You’re delusional. Thorne: Delusional and charming. [*Fast forward to Cinder's 30th birthday*] Thorne: Happy birthday, Cinder! Cinder: What is this? Thorne: An antique eggbeater. It felt appropriate. Cinder: I hate you. Thorne: You say that every time I get you something meaningful.

a series of incorrect quotes based on personal interactions:

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

berrigan: operation oakleaf
farell: project coffee-beans

pre-character development horace: *turns on fan*
"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread
