I love your art style and all but genuine question can you draw hands and choose not to or can you not draw hands?

Haha! This made me laugh! Hope this answers the question:)

Laurent’s vocabulary [in Akielon] hit its limits when it came to military terms and manoeuvres, but Damen filled in the gaps. It was of course no surprise to find that Laurent had a well-stocked armoury of elegant phrases and bitchy remarks, but could not talk in detail about anything sensible.

damen truly give zero fucks when it comes to angering laurent like everyone else will be shitting themselves under that cold blue glare meanwhile damen will look at laurent straight in the eye and ask him 'are you done bitching?'

You can now play a Captive Prince version of Wordle here! The answers include character names, places, and words associated with the series. And I looked at the map and the character list in the books when I was making the answers list so there's some obscure Akielon provinces in there. I don't even remember if they ever went to Kesus

then, Laurent a couple of days later:

Damen, this is a precarious political situation, maybe this is not the moment to figure out what your boyfriend likes in bed....

[laurianos]

Oh, what’s this? Have I been in the midst of a Captive Prince-fueled firestorm of emotions the last two weeks? Yes. 100% yes. And so, I present: Damen, and Laurent, and their respective (and polar opposite) trust issues.

Other thoughts and feels forthcoming, probably.

I read Captive Prince before I’d even heard of AFTG, I was absolutely obsessed with it but then when I did read AFTG a few months after, I brushed aside Captive Prince in favour of Andreil!

I read the trilogy at the start of 2019, before I’d gotten into fic writing and such…recently though, I decided to reread it and it’s totally rekindled my love for it.

That is why I need help….I want fic ideas/inspo! i’m so used to aftg and all the prompt possibilities it comes with that i’m at a loss for what to do for Captive Prince SO, if you have any ideas you want to share PLEASE et me know! No promises they will be done or that they’ll be done quickly XD But I will try my best.

Not looking for any totally different AU’s really and would like to stick to Laurent/Damen if possible but of course, all ideas are welcome!

If you have an idea please send me an ask OR feel free to DM me!

I’m compelled to remind you, once again, that Laurent pet the dogs at Chastillon.

Hi,

I need your help and that of as many fellow Capri fans as possible.

As part of pride festivities at work, I got roped into doing a little talk about my favourite queer book and I picked Captive Prince, of course.

What are some of the things I should definitely mention about our two kings?

Much love,

Coffeedragon

Hi dear!

I'm not super great at articulating my thoughts 99% of the time, so I hope I can help you with this, but I'm posting it as well, so anyone else might jump in with their thoughts and ideas. So hopefully the hive mind will be of more help to you than me chronically overthinking everything.

Is this meant more about their relationship with each other? Tidbits about them/their growth/their relationship?

God I hope I didn't entirely misunderstood, but here are a few suggestions from me:

Their individual growth throughout the series, as well as the hurdles they have to go through to end up choosing each other.

Parallels that exist within the stories (they both end up orphans, Damen killed Auguste, Laurent ends up killing Kastor, etc.)

Tipping points. though when who fell for whom is usually a bit up for interpretation.

Less serious suggestions from my side:

The sword throwing

Damen dropping the pitcher of the sight of Laurent's legs

Please feel free to add your own thoughts!

“And because Laurent’s life had been dragged from its course, because he was not sweet, bookish youth he might have been, but instead was hard and dangerous as cut glass.”

Hi! I watched your Captive Prince video on youtube (love your illustration!!) Have you read the 'Rifter'-series by Ginn Hale? Like Captive Prince it's also very fast-paced and I couldn't put it down while I read it. There is more world-building than in Captive Prince and the fantasy world is very interesting, as well as the characters and their motivations. However, there are also some terrible things happening (e.g. witch burnings, mutilations). (1/2)

(ctd.) The story takes place on two different time strings, so don’t stop reading when you’re confused what’s happening. It will make sense soon! (The time jumps also mostly happen right after a cliffhanger.) The series is available as a 10-part ebook or a paperback trilogy. I would love to hear what you think! (2/2)

I’ve never heard of the Rifter series before now but I’ve added it to my want to read shelf because it sounds like something I could actually end up loving. Wanting more world-building was one of the major elements I kind of wished Captive Prince had more of so this sounds… pretty much perfect, actually. And it has fantasy elements and different time strings, which are things I enjoy. The first e-book’s only a pound so I could end up giving it a go maybe in the next few months depending on how my reading goes? I don’t know, I tend to read pretty impulsively but I definitely do want to read it at some point.

Thanks for the rec and the kind words about the illustration!
