#the conclusion is: house of niccolò you will always be famous

[leojurand]

ok so i saw your posts about the dunnett/captive prince parallels and i read captive prince earlier this year and one scene made me think like wow this is totally dunnett but i looked it up and i could find nobody that had talked about it. it's the orgy scene in scales of gold/prince's gambit? and specifically the conversation between nicholas/gelis and damen/laurent afterwards... like do you see it too or am i crazy? when i read it i was struck by the resemblance

hi!! here are the scenes you've mentioned

i actually didn't notice these similarities at all! even tho i reread capri after reading house of niccolò. @meidebenne was the one who pointed this one (and other similar scenes) to me 🫶 and yeah, clearly one was inspired by the other! you're not crazy!

i never thought about it before, but another thing they have in common is that laurent&gelis are antagonistic at first because of what damen&nicholas did (or they think they did) to their sibling.

i think the lymond inspiration is obvious, but honestly... pacat is clearly a huge niccolò fan lol. i think the reason no one really mentions the connections is that not that many people have read or care enough about HoN to do it </3 but you can always talk to me about them if u find anything else!!
