another day without a morally grey fictional man who would commit arson for me

Casteel: Are we flirting or are we fighting right now? Because I'm kind of getting mixed signals.

Poppy: I'm gonna sink my teeth into your fucking throat!

Casteel: Still proving my point...mixed messages.

You know what?

Reading Casteel encouraging Poppy to punish him for kidnapping her and betraying her and lying to her is so damn refreshing.

Like she deadass stabbed him in his heart, and he apologized to her, then asked her to keep stabbing him any chance she gets.

I'm in love with the Blood and Ash series.

I really need to move on from fourth wing/iron flame/onyx storm cause I've been trying SO HARD to read from blood and ash series and I'm so fucking stuck thinking Xaden will pop out of the shadows at anytime.

Some scenes I'd love to see from Casteel's pov in his book

The scene where he's introduced as Poppy's new guard and see's her unveiled for the first time. You know he had a "holy shit she's the most beautiful person I've ever seen" moment.

The rise scene! Just an oscar emmy pulitzer winning scene. One of my favourites.

Also I wouldn't mind the library/ledge scene. Seeing Casteel's reaction to finding Poppy mysteriously gone from her room, and having no idea how she got out?? All the way to finding her out on the ledge lol

The willow scene. Because Casteel led Poppy out to the garden that night, specifically to take her!! And I need the conflict of his mindset going "This is it, I'm doing it, I'm taking her tonight" to "I'm not taking her! I can't do it!"

Him keeping a bedside vigil while Poppy is drugged/sleeping after Victor's death, as alluded to by Poppy in this passage "I had this weird impression that I hadn’t been alone while I slept. There was a sensation of callused palms against my cheek, fingers brushing hair back from my face. I had the faintest memory of Hawke talking to me, whispering when the room was filled with sunlight and when it had been taken over by night."

The stables/betrayal scene. Because the angst! I can't wait to get into his head during that time where he's acting all nonchalant and charming but on the inside is dying that he's hurting Poppy!! 💔

When Poppy gets stabbed. I wanna see Casteel's worry and his guilt and his pain (when Poppy says "it hurts" and he thinks she's talking about herself but she's talking about what she feels from him! *cries* 😭) And all the anguish of him knowing that he's the one that put her in that position and that it's his people who hurt her. And getting to see what he feels when he gets stabbed. Which again, more angst and pain but also Casteel just being Casteel about stabbing 👀🙄

When he pulls out Landell's heart. I just love that scene and love Casteel's "Nobody insults my wife" moment! I mean sure they're not married yet, but *Ben Wyatt meme* it's about the energy!

Honestly just need like the whole time they're in New Haven, in general. Seeing all of Casteel's internal conflict and his thought process as his feelings for Poppy deepen and his whole plan unravels and he struggles with what to do. And how he goes from I'm gonna use her to I'm gonna marry her. The poor simp!

The emotional argument he and Poppy have in Spessa's end where they finally start to hash things out and he says "I didn’t plan on being drawn to you. I didn’t plan to want you. I didn’t plan on risking everything to keep you. I didn’t...." and he get's interrupted by Emil. Because I KNOW he was going to say I didn't plan on ... LOVING YOU!! I know it! And even if it turns out he wasn't gonna say that, he was!

When they first return to Atlantia and Poppy leaves to go see the temple of Nyktos. I wanna see Casteel's reaction to the sky starting to rain red and all the Wolven suddenly shifting and tearing off towards the temple and him being like "Poppy!" and his panic realising something's happening and she's in trouble. And I need to see the moment he comes up the temple stairs and see's her and realises what she is and bows 😭

When Poppy gets hit with the bolt. Because again, the pain, the drama, the angst, Casteel crying!!

And the number one scene that I absolutely need from Casteel's pov... When he wakes up from the poisoned arrow and finds Poppy gone and GOES ABSOLUTELY FERAL, to the point where both Kieran and Casteel's father have never seen him like that before!!

Poppy: *gasp* Is that Prince Casteel?

Hawke *from behind Poppy*: No. I'm Casteel.

Poppy: *slowly turns*

Hawke *puts finger to lips*: Shh.

[riorsonxaden]

It's hilarious that Cas could tell Poppy with a straight face The Dark One would come for again. Then, mere seconds later, when he says The Dark One will keep coming to get what he wants before Cas turns away to basically compose himself before looking at her again.

[cupidragon]

So speaking of Liam, I'm currently reading From Blood and Ashes, and while I was on it Ryland (poppy's guardian) was murdered and I started to cry like a goddamn baby, but I WAS CRYING BECAUSE LIAM DIED?????
