AITA for falling asleep on my very first day of work?
My seven friends (16M) and I (16M) won our town's teen warrior competition and got the honor to guard our town's most precious rock for a night after becoming full fledged warriors with horned hats and everything. We took turns waiting up and guarding the stone. I had the fourth shift and it had been a really long day (we sailed for literally the whole day, rescued our rivals, and had to party until midnight. there was no way to get out of the partying, trust me, it's a cultural expectation) and I only had had four hours of sleep so I closed my eyes for a minute to rest up and the next thing I know, the rock is gone. The thing is, we weren't really expecting anyone to steal this rock and my skirl also abandoned his post so it's not like I'm the only one who messed up. It's looking like a decent chance we'll get bamished from our homes and struck from the competition records. AITA?
ETA: obviously my friends and I feel really bad and we figured out that the shady sailors who had been hanging around our town for weeks were pirates and stole the rock. We're now banished from our hometown (rip) and are sailing after the pirates to get the rock back. wish us luck lol

The Herons at Christmas: Gift Wrapping Edition
Hal
- Does not wrap things
- At all
- He puts the gift in a suitably sized packing box
- Tapes it up
- And boom
- Done
- Except for the fact it takes an army to open it
- He (much like Stig)uses waaaay to much tape
- He's also the most likely to forget about buying presents until the night before.
Stig
- Is a certified Gift Wrapping Disaster
- Can not wrap a present to save his life
- Paper is always mismatched because he CAN'T MEASURE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PAPER
- Always uses to much tape
- Absolutely point blank REFUSES to just use gift bags
- Along with Jesper, is the main cause of the Christmas Wrapping and Celebrating Intervention of '19
Edvin
- An incredible wrapper. One of the best there is.
- Usually only uses brown paper and string
- But somehow makes it look incredible
- However, in the annual Christmas Wrapping Tournament, he will forgo the usual paper for fancy stuff
- Proceeds to put all the pretty presents in gift bags
- For transport methods
or some dramatic shit
Ingvar
- Usually uses gift bags.
- Enjoys wrapping gifts, but usually finds it very time consuming
- Not to mention that it's fiddly
- And if the gift is small he struggles with the finer details
- Usually mimics the wrapping style of the gift recipient but in a ✨ bag✨
Tapes Hal's shut, switches out the twins, pristinely wraps Lydia and Edvins
Ulf
- Has average wrapping abilities
But not as good as his brothers- Prefers to use identical gift bags
- Will always put the wrong name tags on
Enjoys watching people pretend that they like their gift- Constantly argues with his brother over the correct way to give a present
Wulf
- Has pretty good wrapping abilities
- But absolutely despises wrapping
Is more likely to pay Lydiaor Edvin to do it for them- Much like his brother, is always giving people the wrong present
on purpose - Finds it hilarious to watch everyone get frustrated
- All wrapping paper used is completely identical to Ulf's bags
- Once tried to have Ulf arrested for not being able to wrap a present correctly
Jesper
- Hates wrapping
- Period
- Used to just give people their presents without wrapping of bags or anything
- Until the Christmas Wrapping And Celebrating Intervention of '19
- (
the mild extortion of all anti Christmas-ers) - Now reluctantly wraps presents
- But is the absolute worst at it
- Imagine the worst wrapped present you've ever seen, and multiply that by ten
- That's Jespers level of wrapping ability
- But he does wrap it all himself and he puts a lot of effort in
- So you know, extra points
Stefan
- Not exactly good at wrapping.
But not as bad as Jes- Usually just asks the people at the front desk to wrap it for him
- Tried to take the credit once
- And got banned from Christmas dinner
- Whilst he thinks wrapping presents is overrated
- He thoroughly enjoys hiding the presents and instead
- Giving empty boxes with blue on good to give them
- Always takes a while day of to spend
competing
Lydia
- If you thought she was pedantic in day to day life, you should see her at Christmas
- When it comes to Christmas she is borderline psychotic
- She has an entire room dedicated to wrapping presents
- Every present is extravagant and immaculately wrapped
- Has on countless occasions tried to teach Jesper and Stefan how to wrap.
- Usually takes a while day off and spends it with Edvin, competing to see who wraps better
Thorn
- Is a top tier present wrapper
- However, he pretends to be above it
Pfft, why would I wrap presents? I don't like you that much.- Until he loses his hand
- And then he just claims that he ✨ can't ✨
- Which everyone knows is a lie
- Is more than happy to let Karina take the credit
- Has actually wrapped every present in the Mikkleson household since Hal was born
- Secretly finds it really comforting
Because he never really had people to buy presents for growing up
Bonus
Kloof
- Christmas is the best time of year
- Because there is so much wrapping paper left everywhere
- And ribbon
- And boxes
- Not to mention EVERYONE buys her presents
- Whether it's treats or toys or a fancy collar and lead, or a matching rug and boot set
Yes, Kloof wears dog boots. Her feet get cold- Even Karina buys her presents.
- Whenever she gets one, she takes great joy in treating up the paper and leading as much Mrs for the humans as physically possible

Stefan: If there's going to be a dramatic scene, wait until I get back.
Jesper: Well, obviously. I can't flip this table by myself.

Hal: *dramatic music in the backgruond* Have you ever felt bugs on you when there are no bugs on you?
Hal: They're the ghosts of all the bugs you've killed.
Stig: *dramatic music cuts out* HAL THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
Hal: *dramatic music playing in the background* When you clean a vacuum cleaner, aren't you the vacuum cleaner?
Edvin: *dramatic music cuts out* H-Hal you've got to end this alright, you've already got Rollond in the other room questioning everything he's ever known!
Rollond: What is life?
Hal: *dramatic music in the background* nothing is ever on fire, but rather fire is on things.
Lotte: *dramatic music cuts out* go out and make friends and socialize, they said.
Lotte: You'll meet great and exciting new people, they said.

Honey, Jenny, Erak and Oakleaves for the RA ask game!!
Honey: Favorite friend/relationship?
Well, I obviously love ALL of them, but I have a particular soft spot for Crowley and Halt's friendship. Crowley is my BOY, and he's so cheerful and hilarious and Halt is so... grim and snarky, I ADORE them
Jenny: What is your most favorite/iconic food(s) mentioned in the books?
A hearty beef stew, of course!! And that plum tart...
Erak: Favorite thing about brother band?
As a twin, Ulf and Wulf
Oakleaves: Who would you go out to dinner with?
Will, Alyss, Horace, and Halt. Basically, what I want is to sit and let the salt masters roast each other while I eat good food and exchange "omgoodness why are they like this" looks with Alyss
Thanks for the ask!
This is all SO valid, especially Halt and Crowley they are my BOYS. I love their friendship so so so much
3️⃣😊🎉😌 for the bookish asks?
3️⃣: What's a trilogy you always recommend because it's awesome? Lord of the Rings. Or the three Howl's Moving Castle books, those are AMAZING. I would have said the Ascendance Trilogy, but that's a series now, so not that
😊: Who's your comfort character? Almost always the father figure-- such as Jupiter North, Halt, Thorn Hookyhand-- or the comic relief who is also the best, like Walter Foley, Horace Altman and Thorn Hookyhand. But if I had to choose just one.... it's still gonna be multiple. My all time top three are: Ro from KOTLC, Walter Foley from DIOM, and then probably Howl. He's a disaster and I love him
🎉: Favorite release from 2021? Give your top three 2021 releases if you can't choose just one! I did not do a great job of keeping up with books this year, tbh. I was highly distracted by other things. But I did enjoy The Shattered Castle, by Jennifer Nielsen
😌: What's your go-to genre if you're in a reading slump or don't know what to read next? Is John Flanagan a genre lol? If so, him. If not, probably Christian fiction. I've read quite a few good Christian fiction books

What's your favorite Brotherband book?
I’m going to go with Scorpion Mountain. It’s kind of nostalgic, cause you’ve got the Herons and Gilan, and you get to see a tiny amount of Cassandra, Crowley, too, and also Umar and Selethen are in it.
Scorpion Mountain is HECKING iconic, excellent choice!!

Thorn: Accidentally indulged in too much ‘me time’, turns out i’ve been reported missing for over six months and presumed dead by most local and national authorities

ATTENTION!
So @redrose-arrow's Instagram post tipped me off but we have concrete information on the new Brotherband!
I haven’t slept a full night since discovering this and I’m not saying that there’s a causal relationship but I’m also not denying it
“#at this point erak should be in a wheelchair”
I…you’re done. You’re done.
