gansey: *goes on a quest he knows will end w his death in a desperate attempt to make his second life mean smth bc he doesnt think he deserves it and hes just going to end up like his parents and his friends will all leave him bc they’ll realize he cares more abt them than they do abt him* u losers: haha ganseys so silly…. so eccentric ! 😜😝

Please

[garnetquyen]

The lack of smooth internet speed and wacky comp in this past few weeks were horrible haha, but thank heavens I can still draw *flops*

My take on how Laurent’s and Damen’s hairstyles changed in some of my favorite scenes 8′FFFF, I imagine Laurent’s hair grew long pretty quick compared to Damen’s, and it’s perfect to let it flow in the wind for dramatic entrance lmao *q*. Also, this is only part 1, there will be a part 2 yeeees!

‘Kiss me,’ said Laurent.

During these unprecedented times, we all need a little more hate in our lives

Tried vodka for the first time tonight and ended up with this mess. Here you go <3

Here’s Pacat’s Dark Rise Q&A so far! Highlights:

Will has an awesome horse! All the horses in Dark Rise are awesome! But the real horse lover is James

James is like Laurent if he was Team Evil and could do magic

The protagonist is Will, but it’s told from several different POVs: Will, James, Violet, Catherine, and Devon

It’s a slowburn enemies to lovers romance! (emphasis on slowburn)

Will is bi! All of Pacat’s protagonists are bi, including Nicholas from Fence (bi Nick confirmed, yay!)

The book is very gay

There are no love triangles

Dark Rise is about a lost, ruined world, so Pacat looked at fragments of museum artifacts and ruins from around the world for worldbuilding inspiration

[laurents-laces]

New info:

Inspired by LOTR, but Dark Rise is more about the enemy within than the enemy without, and it explores grey areas in the battle between light and dark

Die Young by Sylvan Esso is the song of James and Will’s relationship

The books are racially diverse and also have diverse gender identities and sexual orientations

The demographic is YA with adult crossover

The ending will make us cry

The climax of book one is gonna make us scream

The character most like Laurent is James. Pacat doesn’t know who would win if they fought

Was hard to write because of the epic scope of worldbuilding and storytelling. The worldbuilding took 15 years to plan. We’ll feel it when we read it

Title: Liberator & Shepherd

Artist: anokaba

Characters: Damen/Laurent

Summary:  Damen is on summer border patrol when he spots an earthly beauty on the other side. He pretends to be a simple shepherd so he can continue admiring from afar. Laurent, on the other hand, is under the guise of doing his princely duties while working to free Akielon slaves without causing an international incident.

A/N: I was going for some kind of greek mythology, but decided on more fluff less tragedy.
