*shuffles up to mic, adjusts the stand, mic squeak, clears throat*

Darrow, Virginia, and Pax clearly echo Odysseus, Penelope, and Telemachus…except Virginia isn’t just Penelope. She’s also Athena. She holds the line at home, leads a planet under siege, raises her son, and still acts as the guiding force pushing Darrow to grow. She embodies a constant duality: strategist and mother, partner and Sovereign, myth and woman. And somehow, that duality doesn’t reduce her. It expands her. She carries both mythic weight and human complexity- all without losing her femininity or her agency. The allusion doesn’t put her in a box; it expands her. She is the woman Darrow longs to return to and the one who sends him away. Both myth and mother. Both home and war………..

My roommate and sole audience member: *snaps*

The kidnapper rekidnapping the kids from the boss is always a delight but Ephraim with Pax and Electra is just prime

[sorchasolas]

In addition to Darrow, i am enjoying Pax as a character.

Mustang, although i do not enjoy her because Eo will always be better in my eyes, i am warming up to.

Dark Ages Prophecy: "Son murder Father."

me: oh you def mean Ajax killing Atlas right! hahahhaaa, yes, Ajax kills Atlas, thats who the prophecy about! Darrow and his son have the healthiest relationship, nothing could happen to have Pax kill Darrow nope.

Sevro cried when he got to hold baby Pax for the first time and I will not be convinced otherwise.

Darrow and Pax

Dark Age Art Series 13/15.

I don’t even know what to say for this one. I think the image speaks for itself...but I’ll say it anyway: let Darrow be the happy father he always wanted to be.

So am I, My Love.

It was a calm spring evening, the flowers sprouted, birds sang and the wind whispered quiet lullabies among the tree branches. Mars was beautiful in the spring, just as the world woke up from winter and warmth seeped into the darkest parts of the lands.

Darrow couldn’t have wished for a better day; Pax running around on his tiny legs like a newly born deer, just recently finding out how to use them. Virginia was close behind, her hands always a few centimetres from the small back of their son, just in case he was to fall. Darrow had yet to fully realise how his life had changed from a boy in the mines to a soldier of peace, the Reaper of Mars and a father to his son.

To Virginia au Augustus’ husband.

Her hair was loosely braided and flowing in the wind as she caught Pax before he ran too far away on their lawn. She let him sit on her hips - arguably one of Darrow’s absolute favourite parts to rest his head after a long tiring day - and supported their son with her strong arms, toned muscles flexing to keep the small body against hers as she made her way back to where her husband was sitting.

A few glasses of wine in, Darrow always saw Mustang’s beauty in full view. As she sat down across from him, a few strands of loose hair framed her heart-shaped face, leading his view to her golden eyes. In the light of the sun’s retreat, her eyes sparkled like the ocean, reflecting the sunlight like waves. Heavy, golden eyelashes dragged Darrow’s view from her now obscured irises to their son, whom Mustang was current singing to. A beautiful voice, something of dreams and love.

It took him back to the days he fell in love, when he still was unsure his heart could house more than two. Since his former wife had been hung along with the dreams of an unborn child, he never thought love would be the same. Yet here he was; twenty five, pleasantly buzzed, sprawled in his garden chair while supporting his head against the palm of his hand. Married to the love of his life.

The sweet melody lulled him into security the same way it had done so many times before. He didn’t notice he had closed his eyes until he heard the sweet voice of a small boy whispering to his mother how “Daddy‘s asleep”. It was not the first time he had missed the closing of his eyelids, having remembered every detail of his wife’s body. Darrow knew everything about Mustang’s beauty, from the squint of her eyes to the scars on her neck, the curve of her smile and the dimple it would hide as it left. He didn’t need to observe to see, it was all there already.

Smiling coyly, he slowly let his eyes refocus on his family. Carefully, Darrow shook his head when Mustang asked if he was tired. “Just relaxed,” he answered.

“I’m glad,” she laughed, and what a beautiful laugh it was. Blowing life in his lungs and renewing him. Leisurely, he shifted in his seat to bend forward, catching her lips with his. Softly, her full lips dance with his and warmth fills him. Darrow sat back with a content smile, sighing.

“So am I, my Love”

Light Bringer POV

“Tell him I wish he and I had kept riding that gravBike,” I say. “Tell him when this is over, we’ll ride from coast to coast. Just him and me.” — Light Bringer pg 279 by Pierce Brown.

I finished book 1 of the saga a year ago 🥹

Lo Howlers!

I know I have a small Red Rising following, so I thought I would share this on here. My friends at the Hail Reaper podcast have made a lovely and fun quiz to sort you until your Institute Houses so if everyone who is interested can take a peak and get chosen for your House, that would be super awesome of you!
