#darrow andromedus

[cassius-erosennin]

i know we all hate lysander and whatever but i think what makes his character so compelling is how pierce has written him to feel like he is darrow’s double, and while the reader slowly sees through that, most other characters don’t. they don’t know darrow like we do, or like darrow’s family know him. most golds just think he is this untouchable iron gold, both a genius and a monster. and lysander is desperate (since he was a boy) to be exactly like darrow.

but in reality, we know the truth, lysander is actually darrow’s foil. he is the opposite of everything darrow truly is, because he never got to know darrow. he only knows the darrow from the institute, from the hc’s, the darrow that killed his grandmother. by trying to be like darrow, lysander became everything darrow is not.

can’t wait for lysander to finally understand that.

Darrow of Lykos | jumping onto Octavia’s ship….

And the revelation of THE Son of Ares ensues

[sorchasolas]

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?

“But this girl, when they took her… I would have done anything to see her smirking again.”

I like to imagine Darrow gave Mustang all the haemanthus flowers after realizing his love for her, because as he said, the flower is a representation of his heart ♥️

Darrow O’Lykos - Red Rising : Golden Son

My interpretation of Darrow from Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series.

I’m hyperfixating, clearly.

[gayspacebookenthusiast]

Every fantasy novel that has ever existed has the unifying thesis: wolves are cooler than lions

[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

incredibly frustrating to not be talented in anything arts-related so i cannot truly convey how much Soldier, Poet, King is Darrow, Roque, Cassius coded.

[sad-endings-suck]

pierce brown really did end the first red rising trilogy with the female love interest becoming the new ultimate leader and his male protagonist becoming what is essentially her trophy husband, and honestly he’s so real for that.
