Ragh Barkrock - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

the Barbarian Squad™ ship is so good but the idea of Riz having both Ragh and Fabian as his glass-eating beefcake boyfriends lives in my head absolutely rent free. The two Crab Kings and their Shrimp Prince? Iconic. 

Two Crab Kings and their Shrimp Prince, with and without their crowns

Imagine Gorgug, Ragh, and Fabian each getting a tattoo of an orange to remind themselves that their friends love and support them

i can’t remember if i’ve posted about it but Fabian biting glass because he’s trying to impersonate Riz is so fucking funny. i’m going to talk about it forever

Post crab-party the bad kids and hirelings all have some sort of crab/lobster/shrimp based name for at least a weak. The names are as follows:

Hermit Crab: Riz (his also has a little crown beside it because he’s the current crab king)

Crab Raghoons: Ragh 

Werelobster: Tracker 

Devilled Crab: Fig

Crab Cake: Gorgug 

Little Shrimp: Fabian (he gets so mad and tries to change it and Fig and Adaine team up to block his name-changing privileges)

Shrimply the Best: Adaine

Crachos :Kristen

Bad Kids Social Media 2: The Sophomore Year Edition

because i have no self restraint, part one is HERE

Sophomore Year Spoilers Beware 

So yeah things got freaky during spring break.

The Seven Maidens were moderating the finale livestream chat. Just think twitch stream, but everyone has jumped in to the season finale without knowing anything about the show except for a couple compilation clips and the random photos of kalina that melted down the internet for a couple days

No one knows what the heck happened because it was from the point of view of Riz’s tie so a bunch of stuff wasn’t even seen on the stream, video essays are made trying to dissect and understand what happened, the Bad Kids explain NOTHING when they get back

A million memes are made of kalina’s death cause that’s one of the most stable and clear parts of the whole VOD since riz was doing his whole dramatic pose and one-liner before shooting

They will randomly reference things that happened (shrimp party, leviathan, how much fallinel sucks, chungledown bim, etc) but with no context so the internet is left to piece it together like increasingly sleep-deprived conspiracy theorists

Previous conspiracy theories end up overlapping so people decide Gorgug was the elven oracle the whole time since they’re 75% sure the elven oracle is SOMEONE in the group and someone calls Gorgug the greatest wizard of the age in a fantasy instagram live video or something. Gorgug visibly not being an elf does not stop them.

Thanks to all the nonsense their popularity skyrockets. Riz even gets to the double digits on his follower count.

Adaine still doesn’t get any social media. One day she gets on Fig’s accounts to do an ‘Ask Me Anything’ and just blatantly lies to every single question.

They pretty much all act like spring break was just a normal holiday, and their feeds go back to normal songs, flower pictures and musings about ice cream that it had been before.

Fabian’s Fantasy Youtube channel now includes dance tutorials. Riz still includes all the outtakes where he faceplants on the ground and tangles himself up in his sheet.

Kristen tries to get Cassandra’s name out there via the internet by just sharing selfies of her and an actual goddex just hanging out together. A lot of people don’t believe it until she follows up with videos of Cassandra performing various miracles

Vlog Series: Me and my new Goddex: Remaking a Religion and pranking my friends! (NOT Clickbait)

Fig helps Ayda set up some fantasy social media, she finds it fascinating. Doesn’t use it a lot but when she does she likes every single post Fig or one of the others have made, leaves comments on a lot of them, and makes massive threads about spells and other things she’s been researching recently, and lots of pictures of Gaf

Gorgug gets contacted by like, engineers and scientists about the satellite and how he got his crystal to work out in the middle of nowhere and accidentally wins the equivalent to a Nobel prize for it.

His acceptance speech is him thanking every friend and family member he can think of and then being like “i just wanted to talk to my girlfriend” [cue applause]

Aelwyn had social media but it went inactive like a year ago so people straight up thought she was dead, which she finds funny after a few weeks of therapy. Has a different story for why she disappeared every time she’s asked

Ragh and Tracker post pictures of their trip to Fallinel. 95% of their captions are dunking on elves

man i really hope that Ragh was voted prom king his senior year

hi i’m just going to think about Prom King Ragh for the rest of my life. Like. God. Ragh’s junior year was a mess.

 Imagine him standing behind Dayne, watching him about to be crowned. Watching the first boy he ever loved about to be crowned King Eternal with his girlfriend. They look beautiful together. And Dayne’s parting gift to him was a black eye and a promise that he wouldn’t say anything. And Ragh still loved him, of course he did! And if it means keeping Dayne in his life, then he’ll stand behind him like he always did. He’ll be the first to kneel before the Prom King Eternal. Ragh’s always been dumb muscle, a stupid knight here to help the King get his way. 

And then shit hits the fan and his King is dead on the gymnasium floor. Ragh isn’t too sure what he wants anymore. But his King told him to kill the Bad Kids (the only people who were nice to him--really nice to him) so Ragh will do what his King asks. It’s not like he’s going to make it, anyway. The Bad Kid’s killed him once--what’s to stop them from doing it again? 

Except they don’t kill him. Except Gorgug kisses him at prom and tells him that he’s a lot more than he thinks he is (Jawbone said the same thing, too, and that resulted in him getting a black eye and a kiss on the same day. He’s not sure who he believes). And Gorgug asks him to fight and that’s a lot easier than processing everything else. So Ragh helps save prom and everything is good. And then Spring Break comes and goes and is a whole mess in of itself. His mom sort of dies? He attacks his friends again. He sees Dayne Blade in hell (and that takes several sessions with Jawbone to unpack all of that again). He’s crowned the Crab King and passes it on to people who might deserve it more (seeing Riz in the oversized crown was very funny, he had to admit). And then they’re back at Elmville for the last bit of the school year. 

Prom rolls around, and he knows the Bad Kids are conspiring. They’re more obvious than usual, which makes him nervous. Prom night comes and while there’s a little trepidation, the court is announced. Gorgug is announced to be a prince, Zelda a princess. He can see Fabian rolling his eyes in the background, but he’s grinning wide. And then the King is announced, and Ragh can’t believe it.

He never thought he’d be Prom King. He never thought he’d be much of anything. But Fabian slides up next to him and tells him that it’s a good look for him, and Gorgug whispers something to his girlfriend and kisses him again, and Tracker and Kristen are whooping. Adaine reads his future (even though he knows it doesn’t quiet work like that). Riz shows him a little conspiracy board he made about who would be Prom King. Fig dedicates a song to him. It’s nice. He’s surrounded by his friends, by people who love him, and Ragh knows he’s a lot more than just dumb muscle, just a Knight to someone else’s ambition.

He’s Elmville’s first gay Prom King. And it’s pretty fucking amazing. Hoot Growl Baby. 

what if ragh came back after adventuring for awhile and became a teacher at aguefort? hell, what if he became a COUNSELOR at aguefort? he’s been though it, man, from nightmare forests to having his mom die to coming out as gay. nothing surprises ragh barkrock anymore. and sometimes you just need a hug from someone way bigger than yourself to make all the scary stuff away. 

Hey so uhhhhh I know I haven’t posted here in a long time, ADHD brain is Wild and doesn’t let me have multiple interests, however

Has anyone thought of Ragh/Zayn because. I think that’d be pretty fucking great

me, forgetting Sam has a boyfriend in cannon during freshman year: haha what if Sam was dating Ragh to help hide her bisexuality/crush on Penelope and knew what the way Ragh looked at Dayne meant and wanted to protect him from them, too

Okay so have we considered at all the idea that as Sam becomes friends w Zelda and Penny she will likely become closer to the bad kids and their crew which includes Ragh? Have we explored the potential Ragh and Sam friendship dynamic of sharing the history of loving someone the way they loved Penelope and Dayne? Anyway just let me know if we have or not.

The Bad Kids (ft. Ragh) as songs from TWICE’s album “Feel Special”

Feel Special: Fabian. The title track. He’s the Bad Kid’s leader, and he sets the tone. This song in particular was written for one of the members, Mina, who took leave due to her anxiety. This song and album was her return to the group and group activities. It is a love letter from TWICE to her. In that vein, this is the Bad Kids’ love letter to Fabian. He’s not just their leader, not just some rich kid they hang out with, not just the son of Bill Seacaster. He’s their friend, Fabian. “One moment I feel like I’m nothing at all/ Like no one would notice if I were gone/ But then when I hear you calling me/ I feel loved, I feel so special.”

Rainbow:  Gorgug. He’s struggled a lot with his rage and I feel like he has a lot of self-esteem issues. But we’ve seen how kind, considerate, and amazing he is! He’s the real opposite of what we expect a barbarian to be. But he’s started to grow into himself and started becoming who he wants to be, and not what people want of him. Drumming in Fig’s band, becoming an artificer, I don’t think Gorgug saw himself doing those things. But now that he’s allowing himself to be who he wants to be and just go for it, he’s showing all his colors.  “Open up a new road behind the clouds/ Walk in the wide skies where your path will unfold/ You can go anywhere, wherever you want/ You can go anywhere, wherever you want/ It’s not too late, you can get to the purple line” 

Get Loud: Adaine. When pushed, she’ll push back just as hard. There’s a lot of rage building up inside her. Overlooked; treated as the second; inferior to her sister and unsuitable in her parents’ eyes. Carving her own path, not being afraid to bare her teeth and raise a fist (or ladle) at anyone who dares cross on her on this path of her own making. Willing to defend her friends at any cost, supporting them and twisting fate in order to ensure their success. She’s been silent for long enough; you’re going to listen to her, or face her wrath. “I’ll pass the line in front of me at my feet (Get Loud)/ Stop with the dangerous jokes, or there’s going to be trouble/ In my eyes, it’s right at the edge/ If you take one step (Get Down)?/ It’s a very close call, this is really big trouble (Might Get-Get-Get Loud)”

Trick It: Fig. Honestly this song just gives me Fig vibes! I feel like this is a reflection of Fig before she starts dating Ayda and really starts to be herself. The idea that she has to “trick” Ayda into loving her, because the Real Fig is someone no one can love without there being some trickery involved. The way she first starts bonding and connecting with Ayda being disguise self induced shenanigans. Preparing to be misunderstood but hoping that Ayda will understand her regardless. “Good misunderstanding, bad misunderstanding/ I secretly prepared it/ My behavior is weird/ But I need you to understand it”

Love Foolish: Kristen. This song is about a toxic relationship--being in love with someone you shouldn’t be. The more Kristen learns about her God, the more she realizes that He isn’t who she thought she was. But, she still has that desire to serve a deity, to find divine answers to all the questions she has. The more she searches, the more doubt she has, but she still believes that Something, Someone, out there has the answers. And even if it's foolish, she’s going to try and find them. “Yeah, it’s true/The sweet ones were dangerous/I know I was a fool…I don’t know what’s going on, I can’t explain it/I’m trapped in a labyrinth of strange feelings”

21:29: Ragh. This is Twice’s love letter to their fans, and it’s Ragh’s to the Bad Kids. His whole life changed because of them! Ragh finished his schooling with them, graduated because of them, and is going on a soul searching journey with Tracker because of them. He was able to come out and accept himself because of their influence! I definitely think that Ragh and the Bad Kids are going to be friends for their entire lives, but even if they aren’t, they changed him. They made a profound impact on his life, and that’s not something you can forget or take back. “Even if it’s a dream, I like it/ Tomorrow, I’ll be there (This is for you)/ Even if you’re not/ That’s okay, I’ll remember you (You’re my dream)/ Little by little/ Our memories piled up/ I will always keep them/ As they were (This is for you)” 

Breakthrough: Riz. Breakthroughs are when you hit that pivotal moment, find the one clue that brings the entire case together. A lot of Riz’s adventuring has been spent trying to reach this point. Going to Aguefort with the sole intent to locate Penny. Making friends to look for clues. Searching and searching until his hands are bleeding. He has to reach that point, or it’s meaningless. But then he starts to really trust the Bad Kids, starts to go on his own personal journey and find the clues for himself. And he’s reaching his own breakthrough, killing not only Kalvaxus but Kalina as well, avenging his father, solving the case, and becoming his own person. “Everybody break, break, breakthrough/ Cast aside all the doubts and grow up/ My heart links now to the future/ The beat is heating up, movin’ on, movin’ on/ Fight the weakness, gain strength from your heart/ Break the limit, baby/ Breakthrough let go”
