#cassius Au Bellona

[dangerandbeauty]

Two times Cassius called Darrow scary in book 1 and then book 6

[irongoldhowler]

the energy between darrow and cassius is literally

“i hate you so much i think about you constantly.

“you’ve ruined my life but also i’d die for you.”

“we sword fight like it’s foreplay.”

“we stand two inches apart, breathing heavily, and yet nothing happens.”

they’re the blueprint for toxic soulmates. the betrayal? the longing? the dramatic speeches about honor and love cloaked in subtext? it’s giving shakespearean tragedy with a dash of repressed feelings.

cassius calling darrow “my friend” while looking at him like he’s the moon and stars? darrow sparing cassius over and over because “he deserves better”? their ENTIRE arc in morning star? please. these two are not straight. pierce brown, explain yourself

“Thunder and lightning, brother.”

Cassius and Darrow at The Institute

I miss this era of Darrow so much, like he was just a guy™️. (Also i’ve been kinda head empty just Darrow and Cassius lately, they’re so Gold Rush by Taylor Swift)

If i had a nickel for everytime an author writes a love triangle between two men and a woman and once the love triangle is resolved the two men are still friends but it just comes off as the two men are madly in love and one of them happens to also really love his wife while being really gay id have two nickels, which isnt alot but its weird i happened twice, right?

This is my art of Cassius from Red Rising! Please do not post on other social media without asking first.

[boneskullravenriver]

"ironclad kinship" he says

"I crave his approval" he says

(quick edit because wtf)

SHUT UP DARROW PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

[sarcasmiclife]

Darrow literally has more light scenes with Cassius than with Sevro or Virginia and Cassius isn't even there with him for 3 of the 6 books

(he so clearly wants what Darrow and Sevro have😭)

Wait there are more in the reblog-

[dangerandbeauty]

This was all I could see when Diomedes, Cassius, and Darrow were bickering after their trial so I had to doodle it 😂

Thunder, Lightning, and the Storm: the best three razormasters to share a room—prison—in the last sixty years, not one of them taken in a straight fight 🤭

[irongoldhowler]

imagine trying to explain darrow and cassius’ relationship to someone who’s never read red rising:

“so, they’re rivals.”

“oh okay, like they hate each other?”

“well, yes, but also they’re kind of obsessed with each other.”

“oh, so like a bromance?”

“sure, except one of them kills the other’s brother, and they swordfight in a sweaty duel that’s 80% longing stares and 20% shirtless posturing.”

“…wait.”

“and then they’re forced to team up later, but the entire vibe is just ‘if we were the last two men on mars’ energy.”

“so… are they gay?”

“no, no, they’re just brothers. except for the part where they whisper about honor while bleeding out dramatically in each other’s arms… anyway, red rising is about revolution and space politics or something.”

Cassius Au Bellona

My interpretation of Cassius Bellona (spoilers under break)

aimlessly drifting through space with Lysander.

Cassius au Bellona

“I am Cassius Bellona, son of Tiberius, son of Julia, brother of Darrow, Morning Knight of the Solar Republic, and my honor remains”

V proud/happy with how this one turned out, definitely one of my favorites!
