Look, I’m just saying that “Darling, I’m not here to kill you” single-handedly altered my brain chemistry.

Kings Rising in a nutshell (in my brain i mean)

[minikasblog]

there's a point where you can't not love laurent bc he learned how to do a magic trick with a coin and thought well i know no one cares to listen to me about my interests anymore but Maybe. hear me out. maybe, my beloathed sworn enemy damianos of akielos, whom i hate, will actually find amusement and joy in this magic coin trick. If i show him. and then he did the trick wrong.

i know ppl talk a lot about laurent's endless struggle with his barely contained attraction to damen but also damen in vol. 1 & 2 is so funny hes shaking crying throwing up saying NO i am NOT attracted to this crisp cunt baby cow french fry of a man. im THE PRINCE of the best kingdom in the world. i am an adonis. i had a harem. i could have ANYONE i want. i am a capable respectable warrior and i'm oh my fucking god he's wearing a blue earring

"Damen’s eyes fixed on him, and looked nowhere else; his breathing was still noticeable, and his pulse rapid, but anger produced all the same effects." Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat Them staring tensely at each other is my favorite thing to draw, but it's also super hard to get it right.... Probably the last one for a few weeks, because i'm waiting for my friend to come back from vacation so we can dive into the 2nd and 3rd book. (I love love love the slow burn, but i also want to get to the kissy bits !)

Also, I've finished reading Dark Heir... 😳

[minikasblog]

what's so refreshing about will as a character is that he doesn't throw a denial tantrum about it at any point like most characters with Darkness Within Them do. he's not a moral paragon, his angst and secretkeeping don't get annoying at any point. and i think it's because there's no contrast between who will Really Is, which is Good and True, and the dark king as his shadow or his dark self.

will is the dark king. he behaves like the dark king. he lies and he manipulates and he's a "sneak" and he's scaringly charming and he's possessive over james and a ton of other messed up shit and he tells himself it's for a good reason, and maybe it is!! and will is clearly you know. a Good Person. while his methods are sneaky, he does not actually do anything wrong. but those are his methods still, and they are cool moments and badass and also kind of eerie.

with the way he's written, i would argue will doesn't have or even need a corruption arc, he's just like that from the get-go and he's not gonna change. and i don't mean he was born evil or whatever other bullshit i mean that he was born a full person, including the dark king and will both, and there's complexity, but no clear line separates them.

sarcean tweets compilation because i love him ✍️

lost in the cloud is stupid funny. like worst relationship ever never would work out and yet. i can see it.

[minikasblog]

i hate the phrase “can you imagine the power they would hold” its overused boring and cliched but can you IMAGINE the power cirrus and skylar would hold if they set aside their enemies to lovers narrative for even a second to beat a mfer up

[minikasblog]

losing my fucking bananas because skylar and cirrus make so much sense. yes. skylar has such a defined, courageous sense of self. he takes no shit. he’s a mess but he’s a self AWARE mess. he doubts himself but beneath that there is a Person there with such immense mental fortitude. meanwhile cirrus is a coward (affectionate) with no sense of self whose entire reality hinges on how other people perceive him. he’s bpd’d the fuck out of this whole situation but i am a lost in the cloud happy ending truther and they have such amazing potential as friends/bfs whatever i dont care they are It that relationship they could have is It

[minikasblog]

is your comfort character also a sad pretty boy with trauma and questionable morals or are you normal
