@rangercorpses has never been the reason someone has needed therapy here.

Hello everyone, this post was long overdue, and finally, prompted by our beloved Howls also leaving, it's time for me to rip off the bandaid as well.

I would also like to announce a sort of departure from Ranger's apprentice fandom.

I do not know how many from RA fandom era from few years back are still here but I assume mostly newer blogs keep up with this account.

Take a lil history walk with me, if you will. I joined this fandom around 2017-18. I was very active around here, posting all kinds of stuff, fics, takes, incorrect quotes, art and whatnot. I made many friends with whom I had a great time and I am happy and honoured that I am friends with some of them till this day. Fandom became the second home to me as things hadn't been exactly easy irl and maybe I fixated on it too much, but gods know I loved this place so much. And I wish for everyone to experience this happiness and just as I made friends who became a significant part of my life, I wish that for you as well. Being surrounded by amazing and wonderful people and sharing similar interests is one of the most pure joyous feelings in this world.

As 2020-2021 rolled around, some of you know that things in my life picked up a harsh pace and I started to drift away. In 2021 I left the fandom because of that and unpleasant things with one of the people here. It was one of the most gut wrenching decisions I had made.

In 2022, I started gradually getting worse, but also had the courage to come back at the end of the year. I felt happy and welcomed and I am so grateful to everyone who made it happen, who supported me and gave me another breath. My mental health kept getting worse but I wasn't alone and that has been everything to me.

Now it's about a little more than a year since I've been back and again, I've met wonderful amazing people who I am happy and honoured to call friends. I don't regret coming back and I am happy I did, however I think it's time for me to go again. And below, I hope to explain why.

Like I said, I've been getting worse. Last autumn and this winter have been very difficult for me and I had to rethink some priorities, as life is going on the time left for me to invest in fandoms is getting thinner and thinner. Unfortunately, among them, isn't keeping up with this fandom. With my next words I hope not to insult anyone. The truth is, I don't find enjoyment in the fandom and content itself anymore, or more, as much as I used to. I don't exactly vibe with posts for roughly the past half a year and I don't mean this in negative, I just think it's for me to move on. All of the new people that I've seen have wonderful content and while I don't exactly can't vibe like I used to, I can see that you're having fun and that's important! People come and go and I do wish all the newcomers and seniors who are still here to have a great time, but I don't think I have energy, capacity and vibes to be part of it anymore. As you know, my blog has been very much inactive for a long time, aside from dumping my dumb sketches or reblogging something here and there. And rather than let it rot, I'd like to cleanly move on. Anyhow, on self deprecating note, since really it's not like I've been someone prominent I don't think this is a loss to the fandom and this makes it easier for me.

So to summarise, my leaving is about personal things, my life moving and the fact I don't have the mental capacity or motivation to actively keep up.

So what does this mean? I won't be posting RA related stuff on this blog anymore. This blog will turn into a neutral main blog and I'll create one side blog for art that I hope to continue to make and maybe one blog dedicated to the work of Brandon Sanderson.

However, it doesn't mean that I am not up to goof around about RA anymore, however this will be done in DMs. If I sometimes get to draw and post RA related art, it shall be posted on my new art blog with RA tag. However, I don't think there's a high probability of public RA art from me anymore, because 1) need to move on and 2) I have a very strong and maybe confrontational opinion about art in this fandom that has given a bad taste and discouraged me from enjoying making it and posting it. I won't go into details because I don't want to sour this post for myself and for y'all with it.

I want to thank this fandom for everything it has been for me and for everyone and I wish y'all some happy fandoming!

Yours only,

The Ranger Thursday 11

We’ll miss you, Thursday. Here’s to the road ahead.

Also unrelated, but if I had a nickel for every Ranger’s Apprentice fan that ended up on the Brandon Sanderson pipeline, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s cool that it’s happened twice.

AND NOBODY’S TALKING ABOUT IT?? IS IT TRUE?? I NEED TO KNOWWWWW

HERES TO HOPING ITS GOOD 🤞🤞🤞

I read two articles about it already, and even though it's still really early and they haven't started production or even got a cast yet, it is real, and they're trying to. I'm not gonna get my hopes up tho, since they've already tried to do something for this twice and it didn't work out.

But fingers cross, third time could be the charm

First a failed movie, then a TV show, and now we're going back to the movie? When is this thing coming out?

Round 3 poll 7: Alyss Mainwaring from Ranger's Apprentice vs Pippi Longstocking

We made it this far, everyone. We made it this far.

My fellow Rangers, I salute you for getting our girl to Round 3. We may not beat Pippi, but let's make it as close as we can!

Around June I'll start putting Encanto quotes in, I wanna give everyone some time to see it before I make quotes.

That being said

GO WATCH IT

I like how I said this and almost two years later I haven’t done it

Listen, I am not afraid of bugs and beetles

But if I open a window and 30 of those lil creatures fly STRAIGHT at my face, I’ll scream.

Literal masquerade

While my friend was panicking I had to kill them, BECAUSE THEY WERE MOSQUITOES AND STINGERS, with my croc.

A few escaped so I had to grab a vacuum cleaner and while my friend was singing the ‘who you gonna call? GHOST BUSTERS’ because I apparently looked like a ghost buster

Very fun experience

I'm sorry. You wear crocs?

Yes

Most of the time. They’re easy to take off and I sometimes just like walking barefoot

Idk why but some ground textures are so

Yay

My mum said if I ever wore crocs she would be throw them out the window and disown me

My dad said the same thing but with Green Day

Uh

Are you okay?😨

Yeah.

It's funny when I out Green Day my dad just groans in agony

What the McFuck?

Qualifier: The Ranger's Apprentice series

Gonna use this blog to boost Team Madelyn.
