brainstorming laurent design

[vaskianmountains]

Nikandros: I wasn’t done talking!

Laurent: I was done listening.

His Royal Sassiness.

[maibelline-deactivated20210108]

yeah yeah Laurent is so good with words and he has so many instantly quotable lines, but Laurent wishes he had a line as iconic, as hilarious, as legendary as “I can’t read”.

Keep your dog on a tight leash

Nikandros: Alright everyone we will meet here in one hour, sync your watches.

Jord: Mine doesn’t do that.

Damen: I don’t wear a watch.

Laurent: Time is a construct.

Nikandros: *breathes in heavily*

I love that Laurent is elegant and graceful and reserved but he's also a chaotic little gremlin who, according to Damen, talks like he'd been raised on the floor of a brothel. He can spend the day being a beautiful and refined nobleman and then spend the evening dressed up like a cloth merchant, starting bar fights and throwing olives at people. The range.

It’s a few months old + I forgot about this account. But I still like it, so here’s my take on smaurent and the best deceased brother ever.

[hasensalat]

I don't know why Damen thought Laurent was going to marry a Patran princess to continue his lineage, when every royal in this world is so GODDAMN lazy when it comes to marriage and heirs, opting out is a tradition by now. Theomedes' wife died 25 years ago and he never bothered to re-marry. Neither did Aleron after his wife's death. Auguste was like 25/26 years old and not married yet, same goes for Damen. And don't get me started on the Regent, who is a prince himself and is pretty damn high in the line of succession, and is a hecking bachelor at the age of FORTY. Possibly Torveld as well? Is there a Patran princess wife waiting for Torveld at home? Only the gods know.

The only royal that is dutifully married is FREAKING KASTOR.

Commission of Pallas and Lazar for someone on Instagram

[joker-ace]

laurent: *is having a normal conversation with someone*

laurent’s brain: tell them you fucked damen

laurent: why

laurent’s brain: you gotta

[naileia]

I will never get enough of other characters describing Damen. Like Jokaste did on Kings Rising:

And then Laurent commented briefly at the Summer Palace:

And then with Ancel in Pet:

Men who look like they could kill you, but are actually a cinnamon roll (but can actually kill you… A killing cinnamon roll).

[laurents-laces]

Pallas: You know, King Damianos gives King Laurent flowers every day. I wish you would do that too.

Lazar: Okay?

*the next day*

Lazar: *gives Laurent flowers*

Laurent: Um…?

Lazar: Yeah, I don’t get it either.

[iamthebonecarver]

How many times do you think Jord was sent to tell Laurent something and then saw he was in a mood was like “nope, uh uh, I don’t get paid enough for this, no”

[fantasticfables]

Jord: “ight, I’m just gonna go, uhhhhhh, get damen for this.” Damen just walks into Laurent’s tent and goes: “ ‘sup, fucker. you’re needed for something.”

[reh-sa]

“The words came out before he could stop them” 😩

[squaffle]

part two of the 6fanarts, is Damien! ehehehhkhkh

[heatherdrawings]

I love thinking about Laurent getting the fucking wind knocked out of him as Damen holds him AHH.
