#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 O’Lykos - Red Rising : Golden Son

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

I’m hyperfixating, clearly.

“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 ♥️

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.

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

And the revelation of THE Son of Ares ensues

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?

My Roman Empire is Darrow and his infinite, yet frustrating capacity for love and compassion. Even when it is hard, even towards the least deserving.

As much as people want to deny it, denigrate it and attribute it to their faves in a more positive light, it's Darrow's love and compassion that has changed people around him. Not all of them, but even one was enough for him to keep on going.

Truth is, no Gold is capable of what Darrow is capable of feeling and showing towards people around him. His own friends never give him what he has given them - compassion and understanding when things are most difficult. And that makes it so infinitely fascinating, beautiful and frustraing.

"ironclad kinship" he says

"I crave his approval" he says

(quick edit because wtf)

SHUT UP DARROW PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Oh, boy, now I understand why ,,It ends with us" and ,, Shatter me" have taken over booktok - booktokers will never be able to recover mentally if they read books like ,, Ninth house", ,,The poppy war" and ,,Red rising".

[cassius-erosennin]

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.

I’m halfway through Golden Son and don’t get me wrong I love this series but Darrows utter shock at the worst human being you’ve ever met betraying him not once but multiple times is so fucking funny. These people are the pitch smeared depths of humanity manifest and he’s gonna win them over with the power of friendship. God bless.
