“damen unfairly blamed all of his issues on the veretian courtiers in book 1” good for him i wish he wanted all of them to die painfully 🙏

I finally just finished Hannibal. Are you fucking kidding me? that was the gayest ending of a show I have seen in my LIFE

they could have been full on raw dogging on screen and it would have been less gay and intimate than what just happened

He didn't want to stop. He wanted to choke this goddess. He wanted to watch her drown in her own poison. He wanted to see just how much misery Misery could take.

sometimes i just radomly remember will's mother and cuss her in my mind until i run out of shit to say. fun fact: knowing more than one language really comes in handy at these times, because then your arsenal of swear words is way bigger

Like, can we talk about the fact the Will literally threw up when he saw the collar on James? The thought that James didn't come to him on his own, that he was now under his control, caused a physical reaction in him. This to me speaks for itself.

the two first episodes of the pjo tv show made me soooo emotional! it has everything to be one of the greatest adaptations of all time. the casting is amazing, aryan, walker and leah are literally perfect for their roles (especially leah jeffries, that girl was born to be annabeth chase), the writing is beautiful, with great attention to some details and the visuals are immaculate. i'm really looking forward to the next episoded — and the next seasons — and i hope they keep this quality, it's very healing to the 14 year old me to watch the unraveling of one of her favorite books on tv after having gone through the traumatazing experience of the lightning thief (2010) and sea of monsters (2013) movies

i found a fanfic that tells prince's gambit from laurent's pov and it's the best christmas present i could have ever asked for

i still cannot hear the great war by taylor swift without thinking about damen and laurent, that song is literally about them and no one will ever convince me otherwise

[leopardwitheadache]

a little daily reminder that damen literally threw a fucking sword – from idk how many feet away – at a soldier, while on top of a goddam horse, in a desperate attempt to save his so-called enemy AND succeeded at doing so.

dark heir is coming to my country in 2024.1 omfg cs pacat just made my day, my week, my month, my whole fucking year!!!! that's the kind of power their books have over me

i feel the need to remind everyone that Damen’s literally one of the smartest and most well-educated characters in the series. He’s extremely well-read and knowledgeable about military tactics and strategy, which if you didn’t know also includes a huge depth of history knowledge, and his talent comes from both education and years of experience. He’s smart enough to know geography and terrain information of an area he hasn’t needed to have information on in seven years, and even then, the lands they are talking about were in mainland Vere, not Delpha, so his studies were his own initiative. he has favorite poems! HE ENJOYED DEBATING OBSCURE PHILOSOPHY WITH HESTON!!! like y’all Damen is just as intelligent as Laurent, it’s just that Laurent’s intelligence is about manipulation and chess and Damen’s just a nerd.

(also people are gonna be coming for me for this one but i think Damen likes books and libraries a lot more than Laurent ever did)

ok, this hurt more than finishing the book, wtf you mean there's barely 50 fanfictions of them??? how am i suppose to cope now?

[leopardwitheadache]

when i tell you i fell to my KNEES reading this scene, like....... HOLY SHIT you don't get the chokehold will using his power and displaying his dominance had on me

What im most thrown by in Dark Heir is that Eleanor carried Will. With everything in the first book, with her being so firm that he is not her son - that she actually birthed him is so interesting to me and I had to go look back at the first book. Will does wonder what him not being her son means, if she found him as an infant or went through a weird pregnancy to have him but.

I wonder if he is her son. In a blood sense; I wonder if Will is Sarcean reborn AND the Blood of the Lady.

His Dark powers are sealed within him, it takes magic to touch them and I wonder if this was intended by the rebirth or this is because he has the Lady within him, sealing his stronger abilities. James can't do anything else when he's focused on magic; so if the Lady's blood is focused on sealing the Dark then of course he wouldn't be able to use Her power to do anything else.

Eleanor was Blood of the Lady, and Will follows her words like law. She is his moral compass, and although he fails her, he is tormented and anguished by that failing. I wonder if that goes deeper than her just being his mother.

We know that the prophecy is supposed to end with the Blood of the Lady killing the Dark King but it feels incredibly unfair for that to fall on Elizabeth. Visander might count now but thats too obvious; The Queen's Champion, now wearing the body of the Blood of the Lady. Thats the obvious outcome, death by his hand.

No, I wonder if Will might kill himself. Blood of the Lady, killing the Dark King. I know Pacat lets anime influence his writing, and I'm considering Code Geass. Fix things, put it all on false shoulders and kill them.

"So you can take a shadow," said Will, "you can pledge yourself to darkness, but I can't be trusted with my own power, even when I want to use it to do what's right?"
