tag yourself i'm wulf (no really, tag yourself; this is critical data for my assessment of all ten of you in this fandom)

a few explanations below cut | link to full res on drive

a shrill wailing sound (hal) — google's def of "skirl" is "a shrill wailing sound, especially that of bagpipes" and i fully believe that a stressed hal on board is a shrill wailing sound of bagpipes

ember island toph (ingvar) — what can i say? they have a lot in common. if you never watched atla you should. atla propaganda moment tbh

viking man (thorn) — idk i couldn't draw him seriously despite a half-assed attempt to do so at first, but i think it's funnier this way. please know that i drew him with my finger on my phone in less than two minutes while eating lunch

ulder & wunger — between the two of them, they're 50% gay, but they'll never tell the distribution of gay between them. also i think somewhere in the stern chase ulf literally fancies himself a philosopher lmaoo

+

anyway i do love having set (well,,, Set) designs for the herons so next time i draw them i can just color pick and use no imagination about them ever again. though i'm not really set on lydia's design tbh. thorn's design is perfect though, i'm never not drawing him like that. oh also flanagan i Refuse to believe that every single one of them are blonde (excluding lydia, the first non blonde woman in the flanaverse)

hehe I got a prompt for you: "Who are you and what have you done with Jesper?"

Oooooh I like!!

_

"You don't have to make a whole proclamation every time I get up early," Jesper mutters. "I'll have you know today's the second morning this week that I got up with the sunrise."

Thorn claps both hands to his forehead. "You're definitely an imposter."

"Shut up, old man. I had a good reason. Besides, aren't you the least bit proud of me?"

"I'm more worried that you're an imposter."

With a gusty sigh, Jesper turns as if to go, brushing past the bigger man in the direction of the pier.

A few yards away, he stops. "Hey, Thorn?"

"Aye?"

"Still think I'm an imposter?" Jesper inquires cheerily, brandishing a thick leather wristlet in the air before turning on the spot and sprinting off.

Thorn looks down at his now-bare forearm and grunts an unsavory word under his breath as he gives chase.

@twofoursixohjuan this is your doing

June of Jesper 2023 - Whisper

"So, Thorn, tell me, who should I bet on?" Gort asks, leaning against the counter. Thorn doesn’t need to ask what he has in mind. An annual swordsmanship tournament starts with today's celebration, and the betting is already on. He snorts.

"Shouldn't you know that, instructor?"

"Oh, come on, give us your secrets," Lars slips into the conversation from Thorn’s other side, a beer in hand.

"Gort absolutely knows more than me," Thorn objects, "he saw all of them in training, after all."

"Yeah, but I haven’t seen your kid."

"You’ll need to specify which one."

"Jesper, obviously."

Thorn bits his lip, thinking. His eyes wander to the table occupied by Herons. Stefan seems to be telling one of the stories from their travels, changing voices and all, while Hal shakes his head in amusement and Jes nearly falls off his chair laughing. He still has no idea how Jesper, of all people, once ended up with a battleaxe. He runs his hand over his mouth.

 "So the whispers are true, then? Do we have a new Fastblade?" Lars asks quietly, following his gaze.

Thorn thinks of his best friend, his ringing laughter, catchy songs, heart full of kindness, bear hugs and the deadly speed of his sword. And then he thinks of Jes, his sparkling eyes, snide comments, unwavering loyalty, incredible courage and the deadly speed of his sword. He thinks of a kid who deserves his own place in the world, finally not defined by others. In the end, he shakes his head.

"Nah, we have Stormrunner."

Thorn meets Little Jesper

Thorn's in one of the halls, drinking (not as much as he usually does though) and generally being Thorn. He's sticking to the edges of the room, away from everyone when he sees a small shadow peel away from the wall.

The small boy- he must only be 8 or 9- sneaks up behind the large group of rowdy men and starts rustling through their coin purses and satchels.

Now, orphans are a dime a dozen in Hallasholm, but usually they are taken in by relatives or friends. This boy doesn't look like he has anyone really looking out for him (his eyes are too haunted for that) and Thorn can relate to the feeling of being alone.

Thorn watches as the young boy grabs some coins and slices of jerky from one of the bags and heads back to the shadows. For the first time in a long time, Thron doesn't feel (as much anyway) the urge to drink another cup. He's no snitch (the men aren't his friends either) but Thorn does feel the need to help the boy.

The little boy looks up when Thorn comes over to the corner and Thorn realizes that he'd seen the waif around before. The boy doesn't say anything but shoots Thorn a suspicious look before accepting Thorn's presence. They settle into a silence that gets broken once the men stop their drinking and start rummaging around for payment.

Eyes turn to the corner once people realize they've been stolen from and Thorn quickly takes the blame. Is it believable? No but the men accept it all too easily. They are ready for retribution and the air growd tense.

Thorn scoops up the little boy and hightails it out of there before the knives get broken out. There's no real place for Thorn to go and he'd bet that the kid doesn't have a place to go either.

So Thorn and the kid- who'd quietly murmured "Jesper" when Thorn ask his name- stumble around before the idea of finding Karina pops into his head. Now, as much as Thorn would love to avoid Karina, she would be the best bet on taking care of this kid and preventing the men from coming after them some more.

However great this idea is, Thorn is still semi-drunk and can't give directions to save his life and Jesper has no idea who Karina is, so they stumble around in the cold dark before they both literally trip over Karina's doorstep and Thorn collapses from being overwhelmed.

Karina hears a noise and open her front door to see Thorn out cold and a young boy looking up at her plaintatively.

brotherband chronicle and LOTR headcanons?

Ooooh ok!! :D

So. Brotherband

Ingvar has a really deep voice, and is surprisingly good at singing. He'll often sing to Lydia but gets shy singing around the crew. He will absolutely belt out sea shanties with Thorn though, you can hear them from a looooong way away.

Edvin secretly likes teas more than coffee. Shhhh, don't tell Hal! (Edvin makes his own teas and shares them with the very few tea drinkers in Hallasholm. They have a whole tea drinking secret society)

So I love the concept of Jesper being a jewellers apprentice. I think he would make the crew personalised necklaces with carved gems for their birthdays

Kloof is a malamute. just LOOK at this giant puppy

Also why doesn't ingvar have a last name?? I've glimpsed 'starbreaker' or 'swordbreaker' I suggest 'darkeye' as his epithet perhaps- if we can have Jurgen Halffoot and Thorn 'Hookyhand', why not Ingvar Darkeye? Thoughts??

as for LOTR, its been a little while since i read it but hmmm

I like to think the Shire is full of edible plants, like, chock full. Everywhere you go you are less than a metre from something edible (loads of wood sorrel and dandelions and wild oats)

Also I think Aragorn really enjoys bitter greens- the taste grew on him while he was a ranger, and now it reminds him of his younger years

Your Thorn art looks like an evil shoulder angel convincing people to whack whoevers annoying them

HELP SDJHBFKGKSDBHJDGF you're so right that IS thorn's entire role in the series, actually. he serves no purpose beyond being the asshat on your shoulder saying to whack that ugly motherfucker with your great big axe, you coward, do it. every rage impulse that hal has ever experienced is the deliberately violent advice of thorn residing in his brain forever

Jesper takes a deep breath. “The treasure room was completely unguarded, all right? I mean- all right, maybe there were a few men at the entrance, but they weren’t paying any attention to me. I found this old thing half-squashed under a pile of bird cages or something, thought I could sell the stones for a few kroner- actually, I thought they were glass at first-”

Thorn raises an eyebrow.

“I’m getting to the point, Thorn, don’t rush me. Anyway, long story short, one of the guards woke up, he caught me with the thing, he started screaming, the other guards woke up, and it turns out this old piece of scrap metal is a priceless coronet that got lost during the reign of their first king. They had this whole prophecy about it, you know? So I fix it up for them, polish it and everything, easy- and next thing I know, I'm-"

Edvin nods. "His Most Ineffable and Sublime Excellency Jesper the Magnificent, Grand Herald and Sovereign Arbiter of the Exalted Beryl Coronet, Illuminator of the Kingdom's Resplendent Virtues, Pinnacle of Majesty, Beacon of Nobility, and Lord Paramount of the Realm, whose Unassailable Honor and Incomparable Grace transcend the bounds of mortal comprehension."

Stig lets out a low whistle of amazement. No one is sure if it's because of Jesper's story or Edvin's memory.

“Well, diplomatic sallies should be a breeze now,” Hal says slowly. “We’ve got the Royal Beacon of Sublime Paramount or whatever you’re called on our side already.”

Thorn crosses his arms. “There won’t be any diplomatic sallies until His Most Inadvertently Regal Eminence finishes the dishwashing back at camp.”

Jesper sighs deeply.
