“What if I fail?”
“What?”
The sun shone high above the tree tops, mottling the ground in shadows. The air was clear and warm as they rode towards the gathering grounds.
“What if I fail my assessments and Crowley takes my oak leaf? I mean I never technically earned it in the first place, and I still don’t have nearly as much training as the other apprentices, and I’m still not all the way healed from Skandia, I’m not nearly as strong as I should be, my hands still shake and-“
“Calm down Will. We’ve gone over this, Crowley is aware you haven’t gotten all of the proper their year training, that’s why your taking the second year assessments, and we will take into account count that your still sick. It’s only been three months since we’ve returned, your lucky your taking the assessment at all.” Halts tone is dry, fully aware that in an hour they’ll be having the same conversation, one they’ve had a dozen times over the last week.
“Ok ok I know.” The two ride in silence for a few minutes before- “But what if I fail anyway? What if I’m just that bad at being a ranger? What if I manage to miss all my sho-“
“WILL! You are not going to fail your assessments!” Halt turns in his saddle as he speaks, trying to look Will in the eye. Will on the other hand is looking anywhere but Halt. “If I didn’t have full confidence that you would pass your exams then I wouldn’t have you taking them right now, you have the skill and knowledge to pass, you’ll be fine.”
I noticed a LOT of people have a hard time trying to find ways to access Rise so I might as well share how I was able to watch it! The Google Drive is there for people who want the full series downloaded, while Punch Chowder is there for people who just want to watch it online plus bonus content (─‿‿─) ( by the way some episodes may have audio problems but they're bearable 👍👍 )

I will not look away, do not look away
what is there to say anymore when the occupier bombs a hospital and kills a thousand people, mostly children, who were already under seige for eleven days and you know nobody is going to stop them. now a thousand people are dead, hospitals are out of power, there is no food or water, and none of us can do anything. egyptian truck drivers are screaming at the border because they won't let them in with aid and keep sending them back. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say.
Omega Arthur is really interesting, especially with the classic ‘Uther made him hide it because omegas are weak and shameful to have as an heir’ shtick, like, he’s still the heir and first night, still the greatest warrior Camelot has, then other knights find out and throw a hissy fit. Cause what are they to do? When they are worth less than he who they thought worthless? When you must bow to those whose knees aches for you?
The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.
As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.
But we need a LOT of signatures.
Please do this simple act and spread the word.
Don’t imagine Will coming home from Skandia. The scars that encase his back, the ache from cold deep in his bones that never quite goes away.
Don’t imagine him flinching away from Halt, eyes shut and shoulders tensed, expecting to be hit. Don’t imagine how his badly still shakes from the after effects of warm weed, the thought of using the salve makes him nauseous. Don’t imagine the nightmares that drag him from sleep screaming, unable to breathe as Halt desperately tries to calm him.
Don’t imagine how he hates winter now, what used to be his favorite, he can’t stand the snow or the thought of being cold, he unable to go outside without a thick coat on.
Don’t imagine how he hate water, especially cold, the phantom pain and chill from working the paddles burning in reminder of the effort.
Don’t imagine how he can work through pain, how he drives his body to the brink of collapse before Halt stops him, how he’s to terrified of failing to allow himself a break, to terrified he won’t be able to continue training.
Don’t imagine how Will 17 and was taken as a space as a prisoner of war, only to fight in another one to protect the same people who enslaved him.
Ok so I'm just checking something and I need you guys to vote
I'll reblog this with a second poll cause tumblr doesn't let me put two of them on one post
