wanted to further prove the case that number 8 is the right answer on that poll that was going around for how Laurent looks, and then broke my artist block at the same time. who says being petty doesn't solve anything!

(i am kidding, you can all imagine him how you want lmao)

i’m convinced that after kings rising laurent sleeps so much like he literally goes to sleep early at night and still wakes up late in the morning hours after damen (who probably raises with the sun) and he still takes a couple cat naps throughout the day because before damen came into his life and after auguste died he never felt safe enough even in his own chambers to sleep soundly…he’d wake up with the smallest sound and always be on alert. and now he’s gotta catch up with all those years of sleep and he’s always drowsy when he’s happy and relaxed and won’t let anyone interrupt his nap times!!!

because I remembered today that this exists. those of you who haven’t read Captive Prince, please enjoy this stunningly poetic description of a very pretty butthole that looks like a flower

(spoiler: it wasn’t impenetrable. it could be penetrated, and it WAS :3)

thinking about how damen’s household probably included everyone who raised him as a child and kastor just had them all slaughtered in one night

One of the things C.S. Pacat does so, so well in the Captive Prince trilogy is trusting the reader to read between the lines.

An example: in the first book, when the boar hunt happens, it is never explicitly stated (at least the time, maybe it's discussed later and I can't remember) that someone had fucked with Laurent's horse. All Damen sees is that the horse is sweaty and intractable, which he takes as a sign that Laurent either can't afford a good horse or sucks at picking one for a hunt. Later, after the horse is killed in the boar hunt, Damen notices that Laurent comes in in a vicious mood, but he never realizes that Laurent is reacting to a murder attempt and grieving the death of the horse.

The details are all there. Laurent speaks softly to the horse. A guard explains that the horse was good and well trained. Laurent yelled at a guard for not putting her down fast enough. And when Laurent tells Damen it's "just a horse", Damen marks his tone as "jagged" and "private" despite the flippant words. But he still doesn't connect the dots.

The trilogy is full of these little mysteries, threads left unexplained, that close reading and careful analysis of the characters will reveal to the reader. Considering most books make their POV character clever enough that they can lay out these threads blatantly for the reader to follow, it's a refreshing change.
