Just red rising fanart 🗣️

I forgot to give Cassius his scar 🚬 sigh

[the-dejah-thoris]

readers who get to the end of iron gold and STILL conclude that Cassius dgaf about the rising scare me like my brother-in-Christ he just DIED FOR IT

[the-dejah-thoris]

actually I think Mustang should have ridden Cassius publicly right in front of Octavia’s salad and sent the holoVid to Darrow to make it as terrible as some red rising fans like to pretend it is

[darrowfortnite]

when everything was fiction, future, and prediction

[the-dejah-thoris]

wow i sure loved how Pierce Brown presented Cassius’ trauma response and subsequent alcohol use disorder in Iron Gold i can’t wait to see how he expands on it in Lightbringer

[the-dejah-thoris]

is it ever explained why Mustang didn’t abort that baby 😭

[the-dejah-thoris]

also the way this implies that Cassius's birth control was stronger than a Telemanus cuz apparently Mustang didn't give a single FUCK about that concern

[reaper-of-phobos]

another reason I take issue with the retcons that Darrow and Mustang were sleeping together immediately after the Institute, beside the other more obvious ones, is that it doubles down on the already annoying decision to drop Darrow's body disphoria after the first book.

yeah, Darrow already wouldn't be sleeping with Mustang because Eo just died and he's still in complicated grief about it, she's the daughter of the man who killed her, the secrecy of his mission causes an emotioal gap he wouldn't cross sexually because he would think it's degrading to Mustang, his discomfort with Gold promiscuity and sexuality due to his Red upbringing, it cuts the tension off at the knees of their already poorly paced relationship, etc, etc.

but also Darrow would not be sleeping with Mustang because he should be too disgusted and frightened of his own skin to have sex at all. and if he does somehow have sex he should have a lot more hangups about it afterwards. in my humble opinion.

people claiming that Eo “forced” Darrow into the rising are so funny like what was she gonna do if Darrow decided not to? rise from the dead and yell at him?

[the-dejah-thoris]

Cassius stans always lose like wdym the best book of the series is the one he’s not even in

[the-dejah-thoris]

PB taking every opportunity to nerf Cassius in Light Bringer and hyping up Reaperstang in Book of Lorn…oh Dassius made him mad AS FUCKKK

[lukeskieswalker]

this but darrow, virginia, and cassius

[hauntedsheephole]

i just need someone to introduce Darrow to the concept of bisexuality, because I'm like three books in and I can't keep reading his musings on Cassius's beautiful golden curls and his chiseled jaw line, I can't keep living like this-

[darrowfortnite]

quick study heh

[the-dejah-thoris]

genuinely what was PB’s beef with Alexandar like sir YOU created him
