#prince convo

Starter for @amarvelousmencgerie

While the parties and the socializing weren't exactly Prince's favorite part of running the family business, he'd been raised in it and so he knew how to play the part when he needed to, and he played it damn well. And it didn't hurt that sometimes he could find the perks of the parties, one of which was catching his eye at the very moment, a blonde in a pretty dress that he didn't quite recognize despite her seeming familiar. He walked over to her and took her hand, bringing it to his lips and pressing a quick kiss before an easy smirk overtook his lips. "And to what do I owe the pleasure of such a beauty attending one of my little get togethers?" he teased, his accent thick as he spoke.

No you’re not hearing me. It’s the way that entire gala is referencing this panel. He’s canonically cosplaying Viktor Nikiforov. It’s all from the halloween party comic. Are you listening. Do you hear me. They healed them. This panel was the only gumlee moment for like 7 years. Do you understand.

Prince had never wanted to be forced into an arrangement like this, but somehow the two of them had make it work for the most part. Neither of them could be considered happy necessarily, but surprisingly, here he was trying to change that. A light chuckle left the man as a smirk lifted his lips and he nodded. "You are most certainly a pain in me arse." he teased. He could understand what she meant when she said it could make things more complicated. Part of the reason Prince had never put himself out there in the first place was because it was complicated. Part of him resented her for the marriage despite it not being her choice, and he was sure she felt the same, so rejection was far too real an option for him to put actual romantic effort into their arrangement. But honestly, he was tired of being miserable, and hoped she was too. His free hand moved to rest on her thigh and he nodded. "I get it, it could get more complicated; feelings make everythin' more complicated, but dunno, jus thought it might be nice ta not feel miserable anymore." he offered with a slight shrug. "Ya don't gotta decide now or anything. Jus think on it." he offered with a slight shrug, giving her thigh a gentle squeeze before leaning back into the couch and taking a long sip of his drink.

they had developed their own, completely out of the box, way to their relationship that made it work for them. she certainly never made maintaining their arranged marriage easy for him, so maybe she didn't think he necessary didn't like her, but she was a pain in his ass. "i guess i more or less meant in a ..romantic way, for lack of a better term." she pointed out, "plus, i know i'm a pain in the ass." again, they had their own sort of bond but liking one another was different for them. her legs curled under her body where she sat, glancing forward. "and at the very least i know you like me when i'm naked." she teased, but he proposed something more than just physical and more than just producing the heir of said physical behavior. "it's not like i don't already have feelings for you to some degree, it's just... almost makes the arrangement seem more complicated." honesty crept through.

Prince stared at her, his brows raised slightly in confusion. He didn't often do friendships, and he certainly wasn't big on favors, so the fact that the other was asking for something so serious, well he was cautious. "I know, I know, but marriage?" he asked with a slight shake of his head. "You get how that's a pretty hefty ask, yeah?"

This is how this chat happened in Episode 1 of V's After Ending, right?

[ruinedsoulsrp]

The entirety of this situation was foreign to Prince. First of all, he wasn't used to allowing someone to take care of him, let alone being honest and vulnerable. And putting himself out there with the chance for rejection? That was completely out of the question. Yet, here he was; standing in front of Nadia, being honest and giving her the chance to shoot him down. If she did he had no doubt he'd revert right back to his usual demeanor; hardened and cold and he'd probably never try again. While he didn't want to admit it, he really hoped that wasn't the case. He was trying to let her in and he hoped she did the same. The intensity of the kiss she rewarded him with was unexpected, but it only took him a brief second to respond, and his arms were instantly wrapped around her slim waist, pulling her flush against him as he returned her kiss with the same passion and intensity. Her hands on his body pulled a groan from his lips that got lost against her own. Prince's large hands moved to the hem of her soaking shirt and peeled it up over her head, pausing for a moment as he took in the sight of her, a slight shake of his head following. "Bloody gorgeous." he muttered, his eyes flashing back to hers before his lips were back on hers, his hands exploring the smooth wet skin he'd never previously had access to.

nadia could hardly believe what she was hearing. prince had always been so guarded, so untouchable. to hear him speak those words, to see the sincerity in his eyes, felt surreal. her heart pounded in her chest as she struggled to find her own voice. his touch was gentle, his thumb brushing her cheek, a stark contrast to the hardened exterior he usually presented. "prince," she whispered, her voice trembling despite her best efforts to steady it. the weight of his words settled over her, a mixture of fear and hope swirling in her mind. his honesty was both disarming and reassuring. the intensity in his gaze held her captive, and she realized that despite all the uncertainties, despite all the potential for pain, she wanted to take this risk with him too. with his lips so close to hers and his bare frame just waiting to be touched, she felt every rational thought slip away. she decided then and there to send everything to hell. without a second thought, she crashed her lips against his, pouring all her pent-up desire and emotion into that kiss. his warmth enveloped her as their bodies pressed together, the sensation of his skin against hers sending shivers down her spine. her hands roamed freely, exploring the contours of his muscular frame, feeling the tension and strength beneath her fingertips.

Prince watched as his words sent a bright blush from her cheeks out to her ears, and he couldn't help the way his smirk widened. Was she really so innocent that a mere compliment did her in? If that was the case, he almost felt sorry for her, having to marry someone like him who was far from innocent.

Her laugh was a surprisingly nice sound and it pulled what might be considered a genuine smile to the man's lips. as a small chuckle left him. Prince nodded slightly, his hold on her tightening the smallest amount when she stepped toward him, and he didn't hesitate to pull her almost flush against him.

"Much more breathing room." he teased in agreeance, giving her waist a slight squeeze before taking a sip of his drink and then setting it down on the counter behind him. His now free hand met his other on the opposite side of her waist and he pulled her fully against him, his signature smirk resting on his features. "Well it looks bloody brilliant on ya." he complimented, leaning his head down to press a slow kiss to her lips.

She took the scotch from him before taking a slow sip. It helped her nerves quite a bit and gave her a bit more confidence. She'd probably need another glass of she was going to actually go through with this. He was attractive but he was going to be her first and thst made her stomach turn to knots with nerves. She wanted to be good enough so he wouldn't go looking elsewhere.

She had heard his subtle exclamation at her outfit which caused her cheeks to turn almost as red as her hair. The blush spread clear to her ears. She watched as his eyes looked over her. She felt like prey being looked at by a predator right before they bounced. The feeling sent a shiver down her spine.

"It is certainly much lighter than that dress I was wearing. Much more breathing room." She gave him a wink before giggling. His touch was warm against her skin and her body instantly reacted to the touch. She took another sip of her scotch before taking a nervous step towards him so he could continue to touch her freely without having to reach.

callum's latin spanish voice actor calling s6 romantic is one of the few things that keeps me stable and grounded for s6 with all the “it'll destroy you” “it will make you cry” “the crew cried with this season” things they keep throwing at us

og tweet: terry's voice actor (ben callins) said he cried in the recording for s6 and said it's probably his favorite season

qrt from callum's va: i'd define it as “romantic” 👀

[lucky-clover-gazette]

i’m not interacting directly with the post that brought up this topic, but i will say that if laurent saw someone claiming that what he did to damen in book 1 was justified, he would start picking up chairs.

laurent takes his own moral integrity very seriously, so even if we set aside his love for damen he would absolutely say that what he (laurent) did in book 1 was unequivocally unjust. it may have been done out of revenge rather than aimless cruelty, but it would still be a source of shame for laurent to know that he 1) did those things and 2) got any kind of gratification from doing those things, even to his worst enemy. look at how he acts after aimeric’s suicide—he experiences regret and knows that he was wrong to take it as far as he did. he tells damen specifically that he’d been wrong in book 1 to treat him (damen) so cruelly, and given laurent’s high standards of integrity, i believe that he means it. that wasn’t just something he said to be nice to damen, or because they fell in love—it’s because laurent knows he went against his own moral code for it, especially considering that damen is also a morally decent person and not a monster.

when laurent treated damen how he did in book 1, he met damen’s assumed depravity with what laurent understood to be depravity of his own. laurent was being evil, on purpose, because he thought damen deserved it. but part of laurent’s growth in the series is understanding that his assumptions can sometimes be wrong, his actions were unjust regardless of damen’s status, he (laurent) was being a hypocrite, and he (laurent) needs to do better. damen learns the same lesson, just about different topics (slavery, his rose-colored perception of akielos and kastor). these character arcs contribute to damen and laurent’s “coming-of-maturity” so they can rule together as kings.

a character’s actions being unjustifiable, at some point of the story, does not mean that they are ultimately a character who stands for and represents injustice. laurent can be a good person who did bad, unjustified things. in fact the power of his characterization comes from his moral complexity. to rob him of those things is to rob yourself of fully understanding and appreciating this one-of-a-kind character and story.

part of what makes fandom great is that people can have discussions to better understand appreciate a piece of media they all enjoy. these are just my personal thoughts on the matter. some people will share them and some will disagree! i’m down for it all :)

those anime fans when you tell them you'd rather watch Jojos Bizarre Adventure and Attack on Titan instead of I Reincarnated as an ASMR Youtubers Microphone and I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince

[ruinedsoulsrp]

Prince coughed slightly to hide the bit of a chuckle her words pulled from him. At least they were in this situation together; one that was clearly uncomfortable for the both of them. The look Vincenzo steeled Laura with wasn't lost on the man, and he didn't hesitate to rise as well, giving a slight nod to both men at the table before he followed behind Laura.

He followed her outside onto one of the balconies and he had to admit it was a rather gorgeous estate. A bit larger than his own, and he wondered for a moment if that would bother her, but his attention was pulled from his own thoughts when he noticed her slipping a cigarette between her lips and he chuckled softly.

"Gimmie one a those and I think I can handle that." he teased, his accent thick as he took the box from her and pulled a cigarette from it. He found the lighter inside and leaned forward, his hand shielding the tip of her cigarette as he lit it to life, bright hues meeting her own dark ones for a moment as a slight smile lifted the corner of his lips around the cigarette in his mouth. The man then lit his own and inhaled deeply, letting the smoke out in a few rings before he mimicked her movement and leaned against the balcony.

It wasn't like Prince was big on opening up and sharing in his everyday life. It was part of the reason he didn't usually date seriously. He had a hard time letting anyone too close. Though, since Laura was being forced to marry him, he supposed the least he could offer her was some effort. "Well, uh. Is there anythin' specific you've got on your mind you wanna know?

Yeah, a total shame. Laura thought to herself as she saw the older man take his seat again. She had been witness to meetings between the late Di Vittorio patriarch and him, and the two seemed like two intellectual forces battling it out. In a respectful manner, of course. Laura never bothered to ask for the ideologies of any man who sat at her father's table, but there was a clear different here.

"Even more so, I think." Laura whispered back. Perhaps naively, she thought this marriage could work. Be something beautiful, even. "We have some more time before dinner is ready, so feel free to out and smoke, and enjoy the music." Vincenzo spoke up. The glare he shot his sister said 'go get to know him' as referring to Prince. The older twin returned to his pressing conversation with Prince's father.

A carbon copy of their father.

Laura rose to her feet, cigarette box in hand. "I need some air." She informed her fiancée, and with a tip of her head she beckoned him to follow. Laura moved toward the balcony. There was a stunning view of the lake close to their country property. It was decorated by nights, and the balcony was adorned with Greek style arches. Laura leaned against the railing, cigarette already in her mouth. "I suppose we should get to know each other a little bit..."

[maingh0st]

The hate Taryn gets is way too exaggerated and disproportionate. It’s just straight up misogyny at this point, in my opinion. The fandom needs to get over it.

I could literally write a treatise about Taryn-hate at this point lmao. I’m going to share some thoughts (this actually got quite long), but I want to include a big ole disclaimer: at the end of the day, everybody gets to engage in fandom in the ways they want. everyone is free to love or hate whichever characters they want, for the reasons that feel valid and real to them. that being said, the treatment of Taryn specifically is really troubling and bizarre to me. 

I think it’s worth pointing out that when we say Taryn-hate seems misogynistic, that means a lot more than just “people who hate Taryn hate her because she’s a girl.” in my opinion, fandom misogyny toward her often gets couched in broader terms. some examples of what I mean by this are:

(1) Taryn does things that are bad and I don’t like that - uhhhh okay. everybody in these books does shitty things, so let’s think about why specifically the actions of Taryn (a 17-18 year old girl being manipulated by multiple men in her life) fall into the category of unredeemable for you. the reason we might point to this being misogynistic is because it’s a double standard that doesn’t apply to other characters—we’re willing to forgive Cardan his cruelty, or centuries-old Madoc for the trauma he's inflicted and his ongoing need for bloodshed, but Taryn is just a stupid, evil girl for trying to secure her place in Elfhame through the levers of power that are available to her. she can never be forgiven nor redeemed no matter how loyal she is to Jude moving forward. why is that? what sin of hers are so particularly evil to warrant this response? and we have to answer these questions in the context of Elfhame & its moral code, not in the context of our own world.

(2) I could never see myself acting in the way Taryn does and therefore I don’t like her - okay? I can never see myself acting like Madoc, or even like Vivi (don’t get me started on Vivi & the fact that she gets passes Taryn never does), but that doesn’t mean I can’t have empathy for them. I understand that we experience the books through Jude’s perspective, so we’re automatically more prone to rooting for her—and to be clear, I love Jude! but fiction challenges us to experience the world through other perspectives, and it’s my opinion that Taryn acts in a way that is completely consistent and understandable with her experience of Elfhame. “I’m not like you,” she tells Jude. “I want to belong here. Defying them makes everything worse. You never asked me before you went against Prince Cardan—you didn’t care what it brought down on either of our heads.” 

while Jude’s defiance is held up as girlboss behavior (by me, too! I love a “get worse” arc), Taryn’s more traditionally feminine approach to finding her place in Elfhame is reviled (@slightlyrebelliouswriter23 has a great post on the fawn response to trauma & on passivity). more on this point below. 

(3) Taryn isn’t a “girl’s girl” - I am begging fandom to think critically about why Taryn betrays Jude & what that says not just about Elfhame, but about our world. these girls live in a world that affords them little power and agency. we meet them on the cusp of adulthood, and they’re both hyper-aware that they need to secure their place in Elfhame. Jude refers to knighthood as “earning” her place and is uninterested in marriage, but Taryn seems aware that she’s more likely to secure her place through the latter option (and also expresses the fear that Jude is going to leave her behind). it’s an oversimplification, but a useful one for the sake of this conversation, to point out that Jude chooses a more traditionally masculine approach, while Taryn chooses a more traditionally feminine one.

the tragedy is that this world—and particularly the men in their lives—pit them against one another. Locke offers Taryn the thing she wants most, requires a vow of her secrecy, and then begins flirting with Jude (and that's not even to mention him being a gancanagh!). at a point in her story where Madoc and Oriana are the only family who are still around for Taryn, Madoc capitalizes on Taryn’s ignorance (and also her awareness that she's never been the favorite daughter) & uses her to betray Jude. I almost never see these complexities brought up in conversations about Taryn, which is just gross to me, and echoes the ways that patriarchal power structures pit women against each other in the real world. 

I’ve seen people argue that while Jude’s approach is also flawed, she at least doesn’t betray Taryn. and like… kind of? she certainly doesn’t betray Taryn as directly as Taryn betrays her—but some of that just strikes me as dumb luck. consider what might’ve happened if Dain hadn’t died at the end of book one. what lengths might he have asked Jude to go to in order to prove her loyalty to him? or if we rewind even further—it’s honestly just dumb luck that someone didn’t harm or kill Taryn (Valerian, for example, could've chosen the wrong window). Jude’s antagonism of Cardan & his friends had a direct effect on Taryn’s life, and even though Taryn begged her to stop, she bullheadedly charged on. the difference is that Jude’s risky decisions ultimately work out for her, while Taryn has to face the consequences of hers not panning out the way she wanted them to. 

this isn't exhaustive, and there’s so much more I could say, but this is already so long. so in conclusion, the reason all this matters to me personally is twofold: 

at its best, fiction teaches us empathy. part of why I love tfota is because it takes characters & dynamics that are really messy & helps you, the reader, understand where everyone is coming from & why. the fact that we love Madoc is a testament to fiction’s ability to do this. so why is a teenage girl treated like the true villain of this story? what about her makes us incapable of empathy? why, in the mind of the fandom, is she not allowed forgiveness (or even just a chance at redemption) for the harm she's caused, while other characters are? I see people stanning Nicasia, who actively tortured Jude (over a boy, no less!!) ffs

fandom misogyny reflects our world. why are people eager to forgive toxic male love interests, yet hold the bar impossibly high for girls? why is there such a narrow set of choices & behaviors that we consider acceptable for female characters? Holly wrote a story about two young women carving out places for themselves in a world hostile to them, hurting each other in the process, and ultimately deciding to forgive, love, and root for one another—and fandom has taken that complex narrative and pitted them against one another, upholding one as the girlboss who can do no wrong while treating the other as scum. misogyny thrives on women treating each other like the problem, so if this is our attitude toward a fictional story where we’re afforded direct looks into characters’ thoughts, how much worse are we going to be in the real world, faced with real, imperfect women?

anyways, in conclusion: you're entitled to dislike taryn, but if you feel such vitriol toward her that you're literally making hate posts (or commenting under fanart of her!! holy shit), I invite you to interrogate where that hate actually comes from. fin.
