Coups de gueule -L'actu de la semaine par Pierre Thevenin

Je n’ai pas encore écrit sur le procès de Mazan et pourtant il risque de faire date, par son ampleur (51 accusés, refus du huis clos par Gisèle Pélicot). Une femme sacrément courageuse. Il est trop tard, à son âge, pour qu’elle se reconstruise mais au moins, elle aura fait œuvre utile pour toutes ses pareilles. Qui ne s’y trompent pas, témoin les applaudissements saluant chaque jour, son arrivée…

prince's gambit highlights & annotations

chapter 17

indented text is from the book. some quotes have commentary, some do not. some comments are serious, and some are definitely not. most of them will only make sense to people who have read the series. and, like, there are spoilers. so please read the books first if you're interested!

also: part of the reason i'm doing such a close reading is to study cs pacat's style, especially in terms of how she does romance and erotica. there are "craft notes" that might seem weird, like i'm being redundant or restating something rather than analyzing, but those are more things that i want to remember/take away from the writing!

i'm going to tag these longer posts with "sam reads capri" in case anyone wants to read them all at once.

this is a google doc i wrote with overall content warnings for the captive prince series. it's not perfect, but i do think it's important to include.

If Damen was rougher than he needed to be, it was because he didn’t approve of this plan. Hearing it described, he’d felt as though his body was under a weight, a hard pressure. Now he released Enguerran in the tent and watched him get to his feet without helping him. Enguerran had a wound in his side that still leaked blood. Laurent, entering the tent, pulled off his helm, and Damen saw what Enguerran saw: a golden prince with his armour covered in blood, his hair sweat-dampened, his eyes unsparing. The wound in Enguerran’s side had come from Laurent’s blade; the blood on Laurent’s armour was Enguerran’s.

lamen back at it with the strategic improv. we love to see it

He wanted no part of what was about to unfold.

support your boyfriend’s tactical theatrics, damen. let laurent get a little silly with it

‘I see. So you need me to get inside Ravenel. That is the real reason I am alive. You expect me to betray the people I have served for ten years.’ ‘To get inside Ravenel? My dear Enguerran, I’m afraid you are quite mistaken.’ Laurent’s gaze travelled over Enguerran again, his blue eyes cold. ‘I don’t need you,’ said Laurent. ‘I just need your clothes.’

i love the little moments where laurent explains his plan with like. total seriousness. but the plan itself is something that would happen in a dungeons and dragons game or animated film.

Damen was repelled by the disguise. He had argued against it. The deception was wrong, the pretence of friendship.

going crazy with that nice vs. good theme lately damen. i wonder if there’s some other reason you’re particularly opposed to the idea of disguising oneself and poisoning a friendship with deception at the moment

The brazen audacity of this was characteristic of Laurent, though dressing up his entire troop was on a different scale to walking into a small town inn with a sapphire in his ear, batting his lashes. It was one thing to disguise yourself, another to force your whole army to do it.

As the heavy latticed iron beetled above their heads, Damen found himself wanting it, wanting disruption, a cry of outrage, or of challenge, wanting it as a release to this—feeling. Traitor. Stop. But none came. Of course it didn’t. Of course the men of Ravenel welcomed them, believing them to be friends. Of course they trusted in the face of a deception, leaving themselves wide open.

this is sooooo mean (and clever) of pacat, given the interpersonal stuff between damen and laurent rn

Barrels were upended into a courtyard fountain, so that men could scoop wine out as they pleased.

love this detail

He dispatched men to take Touars’s nine-year-old son Thevenin and hold him under house arrest. Laurent was developing quite a collection of sons.

well someone has to be nice to children in this fucked up world

Then Laurent turned and saw him, and the pressure in his chest grew like pain as Laurent greeted him, half-stripped and bright-eyed. ‘How do you like my fort?’

laurent is especially fascinating as things really heat up between him and damen. it’s part cognitive dissonance, but also… i think damen has changed his mind. i don’t think laurent hates damen anymore. i think everything that seems to have developed between them, actually has developed both ways. even if laurent goes back on it later, and says mean things, damen has at this point completely changed laurent’s initial perception of him. damen is damen, who laurent knows and trusts, and not damianos. that’s where the cognitive dissonance comes in—not in any kind of false impression of damen himself. it’s, again, sad in a different way to read with the context i have. because laurent is being true here, despite the lie, and i just wish they could come by this with total honestly. but that would never have been possible for them, with their history. and the auguste thing will have to be reckoned with, eventually. laurent just has it on ice for now.

All right,’ said Laurent. ‘You see? I’m learning to take your advice.’ He spoke with an unselfconscious little smile that was wholly new.

i don’t think laurent is enjoying damen’s turmoil. i don’t even think he notices it. while he definitely respects damen, laurent still doesn’t expect him to stay past the point of his given freedom. and that’s why he flirts, and is friendly, and fucks him, despite the auguste thing. because it all ends tomorrow anyway, by damen’s choice. so laurent might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

of course, laurent underestimates damen’s devotion, as usual. even when he has sex with damen, i’m sure laurent thinks damen is counting it as just another conquest that he’ll forget about the day after. so it doesn’t matter, and it doesn’t have to matter—which good, because if it did matter to damen, it would matter SO MUCH to laurent as well. and laurent knows that his brother’s killer can’t matter to him, because that would be insane. so it’s good that damen just sees him as 1) partaking in an agreement that he (damen) will leave as soon as he’s freed and 2) a piece of ass. yep. that’s definitely it, laurent. good job.

He said, ‘What will you do next?’ ‘Bathe,’ answered Laurent, in a tone that said he knew perfectly well what Damen had meant, ‘and change into something that’s not made of metal. You should do the same. I had the servants lay out some clothing for you that befits your new station. Very Veretian, you’ll hate it. I have something else for you as well.’ He turned back in time to see Laurent move briefly to pick up a half-circle of metal from a small table by the wall. It felt like the slow push of a spear into his body, the awful unfolding inevitability of it, in front of servants, in this small, intimate room. ‘I didn’t have time to give this to you before the battle,’ said Laurent.

ohhh laurent’s going full delusional here, riding the high of his previous act. but this isn’t an act, not really. but it has to be an act, for laurent to be okay with it. just how laurent performed cruelty in book 1 with hate in his heart, he’s performing affection here with love in his heart. but it can’t be true—it can’t NOT be in some ways a performance, and laurent has made sure of that by keeping the lie going for this long. this man is in a heaven/hell of his own design. it’s honestly impressive how deeply he manages to complicate things for himself. he made his own bed and now he’s getting fucked in it

The last thing he heard was Laurent saying, ‘See to my Captain. Tonight he is to have anything that he asks for.’

HELL yeah he is

‘We are lucky the Prince’s messenger got through with his signet ring,’ Damen acknowledged. ‘What messenger?’ said Torveld.

lmaooo i think the messenger was about loyse’s whole reveal? like VERY long game?

‘I’m a Captain through your help. I owe you a great deal.’ Shyly, after a pause: ‘I told you that I would repay you. You did so much to help me in the palace. And . . .’ Erasmus hesitated, looking over at Torveld. When Torveld nodded that he should speak, he lifted his chin, uncharacteristically. ‘And I didn’t like the Regent. He burnt my leg.’ Torveld gave him a proud look, and Erasmus flushed and made obeisance again with perfect form.

eugh i haaaaaate the way the akielion slaves talk. it’s especially jarring after not having to see them for like an entire book. i know it’s supposed to be off-putting though so job well done i guess

Damen repressed another instinct to tell him to stand up.

buddy you're so close don't repress it!

He looked at Erasmus, the demure limbs and the lowered lashes. He had bedded slaves like this, as pliant in bed as they were out of it. He remembered enjoying it, but the memory was distant, as though it belonged to someone else. Erasmus was pretty, he could see that. Erasmus, he recalled, had been trained for him. He would be obedient to every order, intuit every whim, willingly. Damen turned his eyes to Laurent. A picture of cool, difficult distance confronted him. Laurent sat in brief conversation, wrist balanced on the edge of the great table, fingertips resting on the base of a goblet. From the severe, straight-backed posture to the impersonal grace of his cupped yellow head; from his detached blue eyes to the arrogance of his cheekbones, Laurent was complicated and contradictory, and Damen could look nowhere else.

LET'S GOOOOOO

As though responding to some instinct, Laurent looked up and met Damen’s eyes, and in the next moment Laurent was rising and making his way over.

‘It can wait. You just won me a fort,’ said Laurent. ‘Let me spoil you a little.’

yeah he’s just going all out he knows it’s over tomorrow nothing matters

‘That wasn’t a play against my uncle. That was a play against Nicaise. Boys are easy. At thirteen,’ said Laurent, ‘you could have led me around by the nose.’ ‘I can’t believe you were ever easy.’

an untraumatized 13 year old laurent would have been soooooo fucking weird around damen

‘Torveld tells me that in Akielos, it’s the slave who feeds the master.’ ‘That’s right.’ ‘Then you can’t have any objection,’ said Laurent, picking up the morsel, and lifting it.

laurent i think you forgot who’s the sl—you know what it’s fine they’re roleplaying again

He took a second bite. He didn’t look at the food, he looked at Laurent, at the way he held himself, always so controlled, so that all of his reactions were subtle, his blue eyes difficult to read, but not cold. He could see that Laurent was pleased, that he was enjoying the acquiescence for its rarity, its exclusivity. It felt like he was on the edge of understanding, as though Laurent was coming into view for the first time.

laurent really just said “fuck it i’ve got one night left time to be a freak about it”

Damen’s attention was on Laurent’s ivory and gold colouring, the overfine skin, the last traces of bruising from where he’d been tied up and hit. Damen’s gaze travelled, inch by inch, taking in the proud lift of his chin, the uncooperative eyes, the arch of his cheekbone, and dropping back down to his mouth. His sweet, vicious mouth.

Everything would be simple in the morning.

definitely

‘I thought you helped them out of compassion.’ ‘No, you didn’t,’ said Laurent.

He’d never stood against his father for anything. He’d never needed to, so closely had their values aligned.

damen please keep pulling at this thread and think about why that might be

‘I never questioned the way my father saw the world. It was enough for me to be the kind of son he was proud of. I could never bring shame to his memory, but for the first time I realise I don’t want to be . . .’ His kind of King.

YESSS GOOD JOB DAMEN

Father, I can beat him, he’d said, and he’d ridden out and returned to a hero’s welcome, to have his armour stripped by servants, to have his father greet him with pride. He remembered that night, all those nights, the galvanising power of his father’s expansionist victories, the approbation, as success flowed from success. He had not thought about the way it had played out on the other side of the field. When this game began, I was younger. ‘I’m sorry,’ said Damen.

the apology for auguste… ohhhhh my god. damen you’re having a character development!!!! you’re questioning things!!!!

Laurent gave him a strange look. ‘Why would you apologise to me?’

okay shut up let him have this you know why

He said, ‘I didn’t understand what being King meant to you.’ ‘What’s that?’ ‘An end to fighting.’

:)

‘I wish it could have been different between us, I wish I could have behaved to you with more honour. I want you to know that you will have a friend across the border, whatever happens tomorrow, whatever happens to both of us.’

damen you behaved with an insane amount of honor. and don’t make promises you can’t keep

‘Friends,’ said Laurent. ‘Is that what we are?’ Laurent’s voice was tightly knotted, as though the answer was obvious; as though it was as obvious as what was happening between them, the air disappearing, mote by mote.

Damen said, with helpless honesty, ‘Laurent, I am your slave.’ The words laid him open, truth exposed in the space between them. He wanted to prove it, as though, inarticulate, he could make up for what divided them.

my reading of this line is that damen is admitting his metaphorical devotion to laurent. like forget the cuffs or whatever, he’s just helplessly down bad. not suuuure if that’s the point of the line, though. the last line also implies that he wants to be with laurent as if they're equals, despite the power imbalance, soooo badly that he doesn't even care about the power imbalance

The touch he offered was accepted as it had not been last time, fingers gentle on Laurent’s jaw, thumb passing over his cheekbone, soft. Laurent’s controlled body was hard with tension, his rapid pulse urgent for flight, but he closed his eyes in the last seconds before it happened. Damen’s palm slid over Laurent’s warm nape; slowly, very slowly, making his height an offering, not a threat, Damen leaned in and kissed Laurent on the mouth. The kiss was barely a suggestion of itself, with no yielding of the rigidity in Laurent, but the first kiss became a second, after a fraction of parting in which Damen felt the flicker of Laurent’s shallow breathing against his own lips.

all the little details of laurent’s reactions continue to really touch me. for reasons previously mentioned. the contrast of words like “gentle” and soft” with “tension” and “rigidity” is very good

It felt, in all the lies between them, as if this was the only true thing. It didn’t matter that he was leaving tomorrow. He felt remade with the desire to give Laurent this: to give him all he would allow, and to ask for nothing, this careful threshold something to be savoured because it was all Laurent would let himself have.

a kingdom or this babyyyyyyyyy

do you think laurent is thinking something similar? it seems like he’s been thinking that all evening. this is the only true thing, and damen may be leaving tomorrow, but it isn’t tomorrow yet

They broke apart at the voice, the burst of sound, of nearby footsteps. A head was cresting the stone steps. Damen took a step backwards, his stomach twisting. It was Jord.

is this a lamen hr complaint? they did go somewhere private, it’s more of a jord hr complaint, like he’s at fault here. i won’t count it.

Lore Drop

A small peek into the history of the Empire, as well as the Marked's family for those interested.

The Mavar Family is well known within the Empire of Ilanglier. When the first val Uzuriene began conquering along the mountain spine, the Mavar's attempted to keep their independence. Fia Halie Mavar, head of the Mavar lands and a legend in both in her magical aptitude (it was said she reshaped the stars into a constellation for a lover once, who she later killed) and her dealings of the Colossi March (she murdered much of the Forest Giants), protecting her land and people.

Fia Mavar lost in her duel to Thevenin val Uzuriene and swore fealty to what would become the empire. However, she impressed Thevenin, and the family kept much of their land, their power, becoming one of the three duchy's in the empire at the time. They became a standard among the nobility to copy, or appeal to.

The current head of the Mavar family is Fabian Avis, and nobody ever questioned why he inherited compared to his brother, Jairo Simone. Fabian Avis is a tall elf, towering over much of the court, with powerful shoulders, a narrow waist, and long slim ears. Sharp a common descriptor for the man, from his cheekbones to his words. His celadon green hair usually pulled in a few simple braids before rolled up and pinned into a bun. Minimal jewelry, minimal loops or twists. A simple, efficient style, in contrast to the baroque tastes of the courts. When he became the Left Hand, the court had held its breath, realizing his [color] eyes would be watching, judging, and more powerful than even before.

Fabian Avis married a woman named Vanille Samara Lazaro. Her family was nothing special, in terms of history or titles. In fact, where Mavar's could trace their family back to before the Empire, the Lazaro had but a few generations and only oral history to attest to it. They were, however, a merchant family, and, recently, filthy rich. They had risen the ranks in court simply by being richer than most of the nobility they could now mingle with. Vanille Samara was the third child, but she was the one that caught Fabian Avis' eyes. She is short and gentle in appearance, with wide hips and a soft belly. Her [color] hair would fall in perfect ringlets her long slender ears cut through, before it is pinned, often in rose shaped buns or pearl covered hair nets. Sometimes she has it put in simple long twisted plaits for a more casual encounter. She always looked the part as Duchess Mavar, wife to the Left Hand, though. A title she wore with pride and love. While her hooded pale gold eyes were warm, she kept herself with an elegant detachment towards those outside her family.

They would go on to have three children. One, the middle child and elder twin, being Marked by the Stars.

EXILE'S THRALL

Thevenin, of Ver-Vassel, formerly of Ravenel and of Vere -- Exiled to Vask as a child with his mother and sisters, he is now the co-leader of a troupe with members from all walks of life. He has been hired by unknown forces to kidnap Prince Adan and take him safely to Skarva, all while trouble brews in Artes.

Adan, the Crown Prince of Artes -- A young half-Vaskian child that was adopted by King Damianos of Akielos and King Laurent of Vere when he was five. At twenty-one, he has begun to assume the duties of the Crown Prince, after many years spent cloistered in the central capital.

Eukene, of Ver-Vassel -- A tough, genial woman who is the heir apparent to Halvik's clan. Though only twenty-one, she is a champion wrestler and the leader of Halvik's outriders.

Chares, of Aegina -- A young minor nobleman who is the most recently appointed of Prince Adan's grooms, and who is captured along with him during a hunting trip near Acquitart. Though he is only slightly older than the Prince, he appears -- and acts -- much younger.

As someone currently studying Electrical Engineering, it 100% is magic. I’m like a level 3 wizard at this point just accessing my second-level spells like Thevenin’s Voltage Conversion or Transform Current.

i unironically believe electricity is the closest thing we have to magic in this universe. consider:

it's basically what human "souls" are made of (your consciousness is the result of miniscule amounts of electric charge jumping between neurons in your brain)

when handled incorrectly or encountered in the wild, it is a deadly force that can kill you in at least half a dozen different ways

when treated respectfully and channeled into the proper conduits, it is a power source that forms the backbone of modern society

if you engrave the right sigils into a rock and channel electricity into it, you can make the rock think

there is a dedicated caste of mages (electrical engineers) tasked with researching it in ivory towers

whatever the fuck Galvani was doing with those frog legs

look at this and just try to tell me it isn't a kind of summoning circle

Joseph Recognised by his Brothers by Charles Thevenin

Book Reviews #14 - Genesis

I don't remember exactly why I started reading The Bible. I think I had the idea of do something excessive, like truly excessive, and I said, maybe I can read The Bible in a single month! But then I came up with my schedule and some fun ideas to interpret the stories in the book adding subtext to the narration. The idea is simple but it requires some effort to be applied while you read. You know how there is two words for God, right? LORD and God. LORD refers to the internal feelings of the protagonists, the human will. God means the external feelings, the society where they live in, the figures of power, friends and family.

In the first three chapters of Genesis they use the composed LORD God, to me it could imply anything, a society that is not a society, a society that is only lived by impulse, or a society where every person lives for themselves, cavemen? It could also mean the very start and the bases of human as a social animal based on the path humanity took. Basically, humans lived in harmony, but with no sense of self, after Adam and Eve take the apple of knowledge, these two things, the society and the self, got separated, which to me could imply the start of society and the beginning of individuals giving worth to themselves first and foremost, an imperfect world, but a world where every person could call themselves their own. It is only after they leave the Garden, starting chapter 4, that these names are treated always separately. With the Tower of Babel this happens again with the triumph of the internal self over a common goal.

Another example, when Cain saw that the LORD favored his brother's gift, implying that he himself was jealous of what his brother had, the internal guilt he felt when the LORD scolded him for killing his brother and telling him he would be unhappy the rest of his life but making sure he got a mark so nobody who finds him, kills him. These are actions that would be harder to understand if we were talking about a deity giving judgement but would probably work better as a duality of his own character, the guilt of thinking that he still deserves to live, even if unhappy due to his actions. Noah is a story with mostly God rather than LORD. I like to see it as a symbolic political thriller of rebellion and escape. The LORD calling Abraham to start a country can be interpreted as an ambition he had for himself as well too.

Aside the reinterpreted stories, there is some genuinely entertaining and wacky stuff. Like how Jacob tricked his father to have him give him the blessing he had intended for Esau, as well as his birthright (Esau found success regardless). Then Jacob's wives (he had two, since he was tricked by their father to marry the one he didn't want first) started a competence where they tried to have as many children as possible to win him over. Then one night Jacob has a random fight with God and then God changes his name. It is so random that is perfect, I like to keep it as it is, no subtext.

The misadventures of Jacob were one thing, but then it comes Joseph, a self proclaimed dreamer that is sold to slavery by his brothers. Joseph was a smart guy, so smart, that he is left in charge with everything on the house he works on, and then left in charge again in the jail he ends up after being framed by a woman who wanted to sleep with him. Joseph was so smart, so smart, that the king of Egypt allows him to take charge of most decisions in the kingdom and he rides in power because of this, just like the freaking Count of Montecristo, I kid you not. When his family sees him again, they don't recognize him either! He puts his own family into a test and everything and its just incredibly fun. Stories about secret identities are one of my deep passions.

So overall, some stories can be genuinely interesting, some are fun with a proper reinterpretation, others are just wacky. It's clear that it is a collection of stories from several different writers. But at the end of the day, its still a really fun book.
