✨Round 2: Match 29✨

(Hap Gladheart art by @emmitys)

Scanlan Shorthalt Propaganda:

is literally a bard (class) and is a gnome which is inherently sparkly, in my humblest of opinions. gnomes got that glitter quality to em

pansexual king, literally has shiny rainbow codpiece he casts lightning out of, casts purple magics, one of the quintesential examples of the horny bard archetype

He is an amazing and complex character that originally started as a joke but became so much more, and also his music is quite good 

hes a musician, he plays the lute and sings and yeah hes horny about it but also hes a dad and the sparkle in his eyes when he learns about his daughter has to count for something. he also has a giant purple hand. and i love him.

Literally a bard and hes so flashy and funny <3 i lob him <3

Literally look at him. He summons a giant glowing hand and wears sparkly clothes for a party. He PREFORMS. Yeah. He’s sparkly.

his class is literally bard and he's like the bardiest bard that ever did bard with every horny stereotype and everything

Hap Gladheart Propaganda:

he becomes a minstrel when he grows up after he gave up on woodworking as a profession, he is sweet and a great big brother, he has heterochromia, he was an orphan called Mishap before the protagonist adopted him (another minstrel, who is fwb with the protagonist, found hap and brought him to the protag because the protag became a hermit with no social life)

I found my voice. "I'm going to—"

Riddle crossed his arms on his chest. His nostrils flared and he exclaimed defiantly, "I don't care what you do. Understand that. Do whatever you wish, but it won't change anything."

"—be a grandfather." I choked on the word. Incredulity melted his face and he stared. It gave me the moment I needed to organize my thoughts. Words tumbled from my lips. "I have money saved. You can have it all. You must leave soon, before travel is too difficult for her. And I think you must flee the Six Duchies entirely. She is the Skillmistress; she is too well known for you to..."

"We are not leaving!" Anger tightened his slack face. "We refuse. We were lawfully wed—"

Impossible. "The king forbade it."

"The king can forbid whatever he likes, but if a man and a woman make their vows before the Witness Stones, with at least two witnesses—"

"Only if one is a minstrel!" I interrupted him. "And the witness must know both parties."

"I wager the Queen of the Six Duchies knows us both," he said quietly.

"Kettricken? I thought Kettricken was a party to forbidding the marriage."

"Kettricken is not the Queen of the Six Duchies. Elliania is. And she comes from a place where a woman can marry whomever she wishes."

It all fit together as tightly as the blocks that make up an arch. Almost. "But your other witness had to be a minstrel…" My words trickled away. I knew who their minstrel had been.

"Hap Gladheart." Riddle confirmed it quietly. A smile almost twisted his face. "Perhaps you've heard of him?"

I don't have the energy to shade this, but here's the designs I have in my head for Nettle, Dutiful, and Hap's epic adventures together! +cat

Hap really did do the equivalent of having a fight with your parents and dropping out of school to be an artist, huh?

I Wonder what people think about holder Tom badgerlock. He raised hap gladheart, the famous minstrel, became the manservant of lord golden and rumoured lover before said lord disappeared from the face of the earth with crippling debts, went to jail for triple murder and then was released and applauded as a loyal servant instead, then married molly Chandler, wife of chivalry's former right hand man and mother of skillmistress nettle. Oh, and he also wrote a book about the wit that bee was reading. People must think he sure had a crazy life

Define Dancing

This fic was written by @electropeach for hoodedcreature and can be found on AO3.

A quite literal Winterfest piece! Masked balls, ensembles, healthy polyamory - this fic is utterly lovely, as fluffy and warming as sitting next to a bonfire ♡

Books: The Fitz and Fool Trilogy

Rating: Gen.

Pairings: Amber/Molly Chandler, background Molly Chandler/FitzChivalry Farseer/Amber

Summary: Molly and Amber attend a Winterfest masked ball in Withywoods. Canon divergent from about halfway through Fool's Assassin.Alternately titled Will Someone Finally Take Amber Dancing because let's face it, someone absolutely needs to.

Excerpt:

“Yes, it’s just the sort of mad thing you can expect from new money like us,” Molly quipped, however, and smiled when her comment made Amber chuckle. “My dear, I’m sure that’s true - but you forget that they are also here to stare at the eccentric Lady Patience, at the gloomy Holder Tom Badgerlock who was once rumored to have killed ten men for stealing from his master, at the famous Hap Gladheart, and at the pecksie child the silly old Lady Molly and Holder Tom insist is their own.”

Molly very carefully did not reply, you are safe among all our secrets, but Amber’s expression told her that she had heard her all the same.

Amber’s lips twitched. “I’m in good company, then.”

“The very best,” Molly assured her grandly. “Amber, it’s a masked ball. The very point is to keep everyone guessing who you are. Why, I would not have recognized Nettle if she hadn’t shown me her costume beforehand.” She covered Amber’s fingers on her arm, cold even through the lace of the glove, with her own warm hand. “And you know that if anyone wishes to so much as look at you, they must go through Fitz, then Lady Patience, then me…” She leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, “... and most formidable of all, Revel.”

Hap POV fic, anyone?

I hinted at this fic ages ago and I've finally finished it! Sweet and cozy vibes as Hap journeys to Withywoods to meet his baby sister for the first time.

✨Round 1: Match 58✨

Hap Gladheart Propaganda:

he becomes a minstrel when he grows up after he gave up on woodworking as a profession, he is sweet and a great big brother, he has heterochromia, he was an orphan called Mishap before the protagonist adopted him (another minstrel, who is fwb with the protagonist, found hap and brought him to the protag because the protag became a hermit with no social life)

Alastair Nobledrifter Propaganda:

He's a DnD bard class and he comes up with parodies all the time that are funny and suit the moment! Also this man has never met a shirt button in his life

"Tom, Tom, what am I going to do? I thought it would be easy and it wasn't. And I was willing to work hard for a fair wage, and I was civil and put in a fair day, and still they all treated me poorly. What am I going to do? I can't live here at the edge of nowhere for all my life. I can't!"

"No. You can't." And in that moment I perceived two things. First, that my isolated lifestyle had ill prepared the boy to make his own way, and second, that this was what Chade must have felt when I had declared that I would not be an assassin anymore. It is strange to think that when you gave a boy what you thought was the best of yourself you actually crippled him. His frantic glance left me feeling small and shamed. I should have done better by him. I would do better by him. I heard myself speak the words before I even knew I had thought them. "I do have old friends at Buckkeep. I can borrow the money for your apprenticeship fee." My heart lurched at the thought of what form the interest on such a loan might take, but I steeled myself. I would go to Chade first, and if what he asked of me in return was too dear, I would seek out the Fool. It would not be easy to humbly ask to borrow money, but...

"You'd do that? For me? But I'm not even really your son." Hap looked incredulous.

I gripped his hand. "I would do that. Because you're as close to a son as I'm ever likely to get."

"I'll help you pay the debt, I swear."

"No you won't. It will be my debt, taken on freely. I'll expect you to pay close attention to your master and devote yourself to learning your trade well."

"I will, Tom, I will. And I swear, in your old age, you shall lack for nothing." He spoke the words with the devout ardency of guileless youth. I took them as he intended them, and ignored the glowing amusement in Nighteyes' gaze.

ok but ROTE headcanon that hap cries at fitz weeding because wow he never knew his "real" dad and his (implied abusive) mother died when he was p little but he hears about him marrying molly and its like ????? he has like 8 siblings and a mother now?? like holy shit a nice family that he is a part of!!

I see your feels-enducing headcanon (that I am totally taking as my own too because YES) and raise you: Hap cries at ALL weddings. Hap is a happy-crier, Hap is considered a brother of sorts to all of Burrich’s sons, Hap sings a sad song and cries, Hap sings happy songs and cries at the end BECAUSE IT’S SO HAPPY ISN’T IT

Hap being open with his emotions and always full of feelings, in a way that Fitz can’t ever manage. Hap displaying them on his sleeve and that being a huge part of why he’s a good minstrel; not because he’s a good performer as such, but because he just honestly feels so much so easily and doesn’t shy away from it

I realise I’m like inches away from making Hap the fangirl of the canon but let’s face it Hap is basically the fangirl of the canon. 

HAP GLADHEART IS A PRECIOUS PRECIOUS LITTLE FEELS-MONGERER.
