Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Since Sean was the next successor to the throne after Halt, plus Caitlyn being royalty (it was less common for princesses to have affairs than princes), I assume he was not illegitimate.
Which means that Halt's sister and brother-in-law both died before he returned to Hibernia.
Now, Sean's father is never mentioned at all. Caitlyn is, briefly, but there's barely anything about her, and we don't know how she died either. I mean, I know Sean's father wasn't important plotwise, and Caitlyn was only for Sean's existence, but what happened in-universe?
Ferris has already shown himself to be perfectly fine with killing one member of his family....
Alright after spending the last couple of days drawing and rating ships I decided to put all the doodles I drew together. There are still a few asks in my inbox but they're ships I either know nothing about or have nothing to say about and I didn't want to make nothingburger posts.
So here are all the doodles! Thank you all for sending asks of your faves, might go for a round two one day.
"[Video ID: A young Ferris and another young ambiguous prince (we'll call him Elliot) stand side by side. Elliot has a birthday present in his hands. He says, "Happy Birthday, Bitch!" with a big smile, and exaggerating the bitch part. During this, Ferris glances down at the gift, his expression with a small smile, but then glances down at it again with a more angry expression.
Elliot starts saying Happy Birthday again, but Ferris interrupts him saying, gesturing towards the present, "So you just gonna bring me a birthday gift on my birthday-" (The camera switches to Caitlyn and Halt. Caitlyn looks uncomfortable while Halt's thinking, "This Bitch"). "-to my birthday party on my birthday-" (The camera switches back to Ferris who is seen from over the shoulder of Elliot. Both of his hands are up in a "why?" pose). "-with a birthday gift?"
Elliot stares at him for a moment with a blank expression. Then he says, with another big smile and twinkles in his eyes, "Happy Birthday?"
He quickly gets hit in the face with a champagne glass, dropping the gift. /End ID]
[Extra ID: Elliot has light black hair than Ferris, and his hair is cut shorter too with no curls. He has an ahoge. His eyes are big and blue, and he wears a red outfit with big puffy sleeves with ruffles at the ends. Three gold, elongated buttons keep the outfit together in the front. There is natural blush on his cheeks. Ferris has a green outfit, brown skin, dark eyes, and shoulder length hair. Part of his curly hair is in two thin braids leading to the back of the head, where they are held together in a small pony tail. /End ID]
Crowley Meratyn was the first person Halt traveled with since his departure from Dun Kilty. And sure, while the Ranger was a welcome relief and perhaps annoyingly cheerful distraction from the memories, it took him a while to feel at peace.
The first night, Crowley had suggested they sleep in shifts. And of course the Ranger had taken the first shift. Halt, of course, had demurred, not wanting to cause unrest, and he had indeed turned his back to his new companion, but he didn’t sleep.
He didn’t trust this Crowley, plain and simple. There was almost a glimmer of Ferris from their younger years. Back when the responsibilities of the throne had been a fleeting whisper, back when their parents had left them to the care of their nurses and tutors. Back when he could laugh and smile and not worry about the future. Ferris had been happy, then. And so had Halt.
And then over time, things had changed. His brother had kept the front everywhere else, but when they were alone, he was distant and cold. Halt knew himself to be a fool for not seeing it sooner, or perhaps he had simply been willing to turn a blind eye. After all, Ferris was his brother. His friend, his confidant. He would never betray his kingdom, let alone his own blood.
Halt had learned that lesson the hard way. And he was determined to catch Crowley’s facade the moment he saw one slip up. He would not be taken in this time.
I have just picked up my Ranger's Apprentice fanfiction again (with the intention to finally finish it), and in the process, I started looking into the dusty cobwebs that is my Google Drive and rediscovered by Caitlyn O'Carrick fanfiction plans.
I did some thinking about it, and I gotta say... the more I plan out this story, the more I feel more sympathy for Ferris, NOT THAT HE ISN'T A TERRIBLE PERSON but I just think there could be something more than pure greed.
(AKA I've made it so that Ferris isn't just a one-sided villain and have actually given him a personality).
No spoilers for when I do eventually end up writing it, but I just wanna know... what are y'alls thoughts on Ferris O'Carrick?
Am I the only one who thinks that Halt's seasickness could be caused by Ferris trying to drown him? Like if he had seasickness to begin with, he wouldn't have went out to the lake with him in the first place right!?!
Seventeen-year-old Ferris, the usurper, wears a crown drenched in the blood of his blood. How many died to put him on his throne? How many will die to keep him there?
I have a strong headcanon bordering on certainty that Halt is from a dysfunctional narcissistic family, all the siblings fit the roles just too well. Caitlyn - invisible child, Ferris - golden child, Halt - scapegoat.
