Hello all!
This seems to be a new feature, so we'll see how this turns out.
The Helmer Pact is something someone came up with (I can't remember who I was talking about it with initially, but props to them!) as a way of honouring Helmer the Black IF HE DIES.
I know, I know! It's such a terrible prospect but I'm sorry to say that it's pretty likely. Agh, I'm tearing up just thinking about it!
So, after considering the options (e.g. sending hate mail, organizing protests, rallying the Green Ember community and marching on West Virginia where we will kidnap Master Smith and force him to rewrite Helmer's death scene) (only half kidding), I think this would be the best approach to our CRIPPLING grief.
The Helmer Pact is this: If Helmer the Black dies, we will agree to wear black for a week in his honour. AND, as hard as this death is for us to face, we must remember him. #Helmerpact if you want to join!
(Yeah, okay, wrong series, I know. But it fits! Sue me.) XD
(Don't actually be litigious, though.)
^^
Considering this was my idea, of course I join the Helmer Pact
I literally have one black shirt, but I will do this to the best of my ability. Hoping it won't come to this! #Helmerpact
#Helmerpact HELMER THE BLACK IS TOO AWESOME TO DIE WITHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD MOURNING HIS ABSENCE!
#Helmerpact I’m in! I hope we don’t actually have to do it though...
HONOR
So, question; when would we hold this mourning period in the event it becomes necessary?
I think to a certain extent most will

While I really, really, REALLY hope that S.D. Smith doesn't kill Helmer in Ember Ends, I'm 100% joining the Helmer Pact and wearing black for a week in honour of this grizzled old veteran if he does end up dying.
"We must march into West Virginia and destroy Master Smith" lol I think that's funny.
While I kind of doubt it's going to happen after the Ember Rising fakeouts, I'd be up for this. Though, I fear I may have the same problem as my favorite Power Ranger: https://www.quotes.net/mquote/828708
Much as I adore Helmer...black really doesn't look good on me. xD
Thus, I'll see if I can come up with some other way to honor him (should he die).

Are you sure that this is possible?!? I'd be truly heartbroken if such a thing were to happen (Helmer is literally my second favorite character in the series), but I haven't noticed anything in the books that points to that outcome. If that ever happened, however *sniffs and pulls a black shirt from a drawer* I'm ready.
