Your thoughts on the newest audio from Desmond ?

sndfjksndf I was just thinking of posting my thoughts on Prince Renae today; you have great timing, Anon! I was lowkey worried that I might spoil those who haven't listened to it yet.

What I ❤️❤️❤️ about it:

-Tigress's new origin story is hella interesting! I actually like that she's not a captain in this one because a captain would be too busy to try and infiltrate the Imperial royal circle. Tigress is playing the long game and I'm here for it!

-Little Prince Renae was the one who gave Tigress her nickname! Awww! Even after all these years, he still remembers her.

-The SFX!? SNDJSKDNAS I can clearly visual in my head during that scene where Prince Renae and Tigress were dancing. The footwork, the background music, and the soft conversation around them? IMMACULATE.

-Tigress is still a badass and a badass that Desmond clearly 'shows' instead of having the characters just say, "Oh wow, Tigress. You're really strong." Once again, to all the creatives out there, the golden rule is: Show, not tell!

-Prince Renae's admiration for those 'Southern Warriors' and how he only admits it in a drunken haze because it might come across as treasonous is adorable. I imagine that he has heard of Castin by now, and I would love to write a fic where the Baroness and Castin are attending an Imperial Royal Ball, and the Prince is trying really, really hard not to fanboy while Castin is so confused at this Tsundere 😂

-Also, I love how everyone in the tavern couldn't care less that Tigress killed the owner sdnfjdkfsdf though, Tigress, that was very stupid of you. YOU'RE TRYING TO STAY LOW PROFILE! NOW WE HAVE WITNESSES!

-The dramas and intrigues came in swinging like a wrecking ball! Who framed Tigress' dad!? I'm so sus about the Captain, don't trust him Tigress! I don't know if Tigress can continue pretending to be a merchant girl for long because the Empress and Prince Renae are upset about her face and the ending, too!? Tigress is fully back in Imperial high society and mingling with royalty - there's so much potential here for where the story can go, AND I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT! Oh, the fallout is gonna be so angsty!

-Last, I hope Desmond will release the official names and their spellings somewhere soon.

What I 🤨🤨🤨 about it:

-Once more, Desmond, why? Why with the clickbait thumbnail and title? Tigress only took a bath in her new room in the Imperial Palace, and Prince Renae walked in. There was no brothel bathhouse or whatever 😭 I was disappointed in that.

-Speaking of which, the title - now, we know that Tigress and Prince Renae were childhood friends, and at the very least, he has a crush on her and now MAYBE believes himself to be in love with an idea of Tigress instead of ya know, her actual self. But calling them exes is not really... right?

-The name change from Prince Desmond to Prince Renae. I remember in the old lore that Prince Desmond was given that name to honour Gang Leader!Desmond, the first King of the Coastal Empire. I don't know if I remember that wrong, please correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah, I always did like that bit of lore. But hey, I can fuck with Prince Renae eventually.

And... yeah! That's pretty much it!

I saw a TikTok yesterday saying the only respectable relationship on Desmond’s channel is baroness+castin,I scrolled through the comments and people were not agreeing at all 😂

They started bringing up the past and saying how Castin literally yelled at the baroness in front of so many people and more…I mean there’s always gonna be arguments between couples but that doesn’t mean that they’re not a good couple.

Also people were saying Desmond and gorgeous are/were the worst,most childish couple lmao.what do you think ? Is baroness+castin the only respectable and mature couple ?

Really!? There's barely any content for Desmond ASMR on TikTok, and people are arguing about which of the characters' relationships are respectable?

Personally, Anon, I think most of the relationships have their own problems, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUN!

In the beginning, Castin humiliated the Baroness in public, BUT he did apologize in his Prologue chapter. They continue to work things out and promise to communicate better after Chapter 4 so I prioritise growth instead of the two sticking to the same old stale dynamic.

Rhett and the Water Ascendant were literally ENEMIES in the beginning before they slowly become lovers and rulers.

Tigress LIED to Prince Desmond about her identity but through hardships, the two grow together and honestly? Prince Desmond sounded like he thrived out there in the open seas.

Wajid and VP are actively using each other until the lines between them are blurry, and he cheats on his wife to sleep with VP. Not to mention, the power imbalance between the two is subtle yet frightening if you remember that the VP is a runaway slave, and her safety solely hinges on Wajid.

What about the OG characters? Gang Leader!Desmond and Gorgeous? Nothing about them was healthy, and their morality compasses were totally out of whack. And yet, they worked well as a team. So much so that they build an empire together!

So to me, it's not which characters and their relationships with the Listeners are seen as more mature and respectable. It's which of them brings the most to the table in terms of story and growth. Now, that's what makes a series worth it.
