EVEN more things Laurent does to annoy Nikandros

- occasionally insists Nikandros do random things that serve no purpose because “it’s the Veretian way.” Like, walking three times around a particular type of tree upon passing it, or kissing every fish you catch on the mouth because “it’s bad luck not to!” It isn’t. He’s just making shit up. (Nikandros, having literally lead a province that was Veretian until a mere 6 years ago, is fully aware of this, but every once in a while decides to pick his battles and just do whatever it is so they can move on with their task.)

- Feeds Nikandros nonsense words that he claims are from less common Veretian dialects. Nikandros usually finds out they’re actually gibberish only when he tries to use them in conversation with Veretian nobles present at the joint court.

re: auguste and laurent’s twelve year old age gap… i’m aware the regent slowly poisoning hennike, weakening her body and laurent being hennike’s miracle baby is a popular theory but what if it was actually aleron who was the reason why hennike had a fragile health? most hotd fans will know that viserys targaryen married aemma arryn when she was 11 (may he rot in hell btw) and the trauma of constant pregancies from such a young age was so great she only had one surviving child and died in childbirth.

so my theory is, what if aleron also married hennike when she was still pretty young and she instantly had auguste? and the trauma his birth caused her body was so great that she was only able to get pregnant again twelve years later? and after laurent’s birth she kept getting worse over the years?

Ok i was wondering why laurents character spoke to me so much and i just realised its because his reaction to a trigger is anger, like it is for me. Ive almost never seen characters like this and I went a very long time thinking my trauma wasn't that bad because i still had the ability to lash out rather than the commonly seen freeze/flight responses.

Laurent's reaction when he thought Damen would assault him in the baths and the scene where he finds out Aimeric was a victim of his uncle as well are two scenes that illustrate this very well. Especially the scene with Aimeric, it must have felt like he was straight up reliving it. Yes the shit he did and said in reaction to his triggers was horrible but thats what his experiences did to him. Trauma almost NEVER makes you a kinder, stronger person without treatment and thats why Laurent's character felt very easy to empathize with.

Laurent's 'inner child' under the violent exterior is written SO fucking well too. I feel like Ive said very similar things when triggered. The "i can't think" scenes and comfort from another person having the opposite effect (being really overwhelming instead) are very relatable.

EVEN more Things Laurent Does to Annoy Nikandros: Meal-Time Three-For

- Nik: Hey pass me the [food item or beverage].

Lau: Sure *takes bite or sip before handing it to Nik* here you go.

- Slurps his drink really loud when Nikandros is the only one close enough to hear him.

- Makes a big show out of enjoying the meal when something he knows Nikandros dislikes is served.
