Do you ever think about Laurent riding his mare? When Auguste gave it to him, and he was so proud of his very fast pony. Finally riding like his brother did.
And when he was alone he'd tend to it, make sure everything's right with it. He'd learned all there was about it; to feed and nurture it propperly, taking responsibility seriously, like his brother did.
He'd have been so happy when his father, a man of strength, probably saw his determination and desire to thrive, he probably thought he made him proud, like his brother did.
He probably spent hours grooming it and talking to it, a confidant that could not use his words against him, as a child both Prince and prisoner in a hostile court. He maybe spent hours mindlessly brushing its mane thinking about the fact that the "protection" his Uncle gave him felt nothing like Auguste's. He'd maybe wash and brush and clean the stall just to ponder that his "attentions" never reassured him, not like his brother did.
Do you ever think about him as a teenager riding when he needed to think, like Jord said, as he watched the young prince ride away more and more often as his birthdays passed, coincidentally getting longer as his reputation was destroyed by the Regent? Laurent probably imagined Auguste riding alongside him in his own, much slower, pony. He'd close his eyes as the sun, yellow and warm like his brother's hair hit his face, it warmed his skin and settled his panicked bones, like his brother did.
Do you ever think of him riding the mare in a hunt, hitting its side hard to ride her at full speed, like he raced with his brother? Do you think for a moment Torveld, in his periphery, head obscured by the radiant yellow of the sun, looked a bit like Auguste? He probably, for a brief moment remembered, the races and laughs, and pats on the head. Until the smell of the mare's blood filled his nose. Do you think it brought memories of Marlas? He'd struck down a mark no matter the cost, like his brother did.
After performing a feat of victory in the hunt, do you think he thought of Auguste as he commanded the servant to cut down the mare, and watched it die by the sword, like his brother did?
#captive prince#capri#laurent of vere#princes gambit#kings rising#damianos of akielos#auguste of vere#damen x laurent#id been thinking about this allllll day#poor little Laurent saw his brother and his last remaining living reminder of him die the same day#“i dont have terribly good luck with those.” just trample my heart already.#must've been awful to comprehend in a matter of hours that the man who groomed him is now also trying to kill him#despite Laurent not thinking his capable of it#like some sort of twisted hope there was at least a semblance of the love Auguste held for him also in the Regent#and then to have it all collapse as he saw how the last remaining gift and living tether to his brother was dying agonizingly slowly#and he couldn't do anything to stop it.

Tw; ED rant.
I had some ~weird chicken~ earlier today and I was physically unable to finish a bite of a sandwich I made from grilled chicken I got from a meat market, and I lowkey crashed out for a bit.
The chicken was, odd... i guess is the best word I can use. The outside of the breast was not propperly toasty, I usually eat it when the outside gets a little crunchy and the inside is firm but still juicy. But this breast was ruberry on the outside and the inside felt too muchy And wet, but not juicy. Wet, like sticky wet. It was propperly cooked, I even cooked it longer than I liked cuz the meat itself looked odd. And the thing is, Idk if its just normal chicken and I just feel it odd or if there rlly was smthing wrong with it.
Anyway bcs of this I had to get some other food and I was put off meat for the night so I just had some chopped salad and lentils but the salad ALSO tasted bad and Idk if its just me having a bad day or my body is rejecting the food by itself, but that was it for me I had a grand internal tantrum with my damn arfid.
I hate this bcs I have a plan for my meals and I couldn't finish it today, so now im hungry and disgusted from food at the same time. And every day is a living hell bcs I cant just mindlessly enjoy my meal, I have to feel and smell EVERY bite, and if even ONE thing is out of place I will not be able to finish without gagging or a distended belly. This is exactly the reason I fell down the rabbit hole; I'd be so disgusted and afraid of vomiting I would just Not.Eat.
Its a miserable experience I dont wish on anyone. Not being able to eat out cuz "what if theyre not sanitary and I catch a stomach bug?" Seeing new food id never be able to try bcs "what if that combination makes me sick?" Always second guessing if what I ate a few hrs before might make me sick if I eat X or Y now.
Eventually it got so bad and I was so miserable I started having thoughts like "well at least Ill lose a few pounds." And "I'm not distended and my clothes fit better." And people around me kept complimenting me abt my collarbones and my skinny figure and that was just the final step.
Anyway, had some greek yogurt and granola and hoped tomorrow might be tolerable.

Laurent's perspective of Prince's Gambit is just him going "?????????" in his brain anytime Damen is nice to him.

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.
Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
