I hesitated for so long to post this drawing here…

The pain, humiliation and the perpetual fight for freedom were part of Damen’s journey back home and it shouldn’t be forgotten (exactly like Damen refused to hide what he went though to his people). It was so painful to draw his beautiful back to finally destroy it with this wounds. I probably apologized 10 times to him though my screen.

Fanrambling

SO. After seeing fanarts of the Captive Prince series and protagonists after following one blogger

who reblogged YOI stuff

 (who I thank from the bottom of my heart even if we don’t know each other), and of course getting to know the plot a bit, I decided to read it.I bought the whole thing and waited for it to come from the US. And then I DIED.

I’ve spent the last five days as a recluse in my room, frantically noting down unknown words and beautiful sentences. I shouted countless expletives at all the characters, I hate them, loved them, screamed in frustration at unexpected turns of events, blushed furiously, jubilated at revelations that I guessed before Damen…

After reading the three books, I picked up my old and unattended Kindle to get the novels and spent three hours laughing alone in the living-room, especially at Charls (best character ever btw).

And oh god, let’s talk about Damen and Laurent, because I think I’m still shaking in happiness. Their relationship is so intense, so tender and Damen is…aaaaaah!!! I can’t find words!!!!! I’m going to reblog a lot of that (and edit the tags I had because once I caved before the beauty of a fanart)! And I’m going ot read fanfics!!

I wish there would be a movie. Or several movies. Or a TV-show. Something to account to the splendor of the described cultures… I want to see Akielon palaces, bloody battlefields, the flourish of Vere forts… I want to see the endless laces of Veretian clothings. I want to see the voluptuousness of a court drenched in sex. I want to see the slaves, the gold, the pets, the gems, the venomous words, the wary and kind touches. I want to see the characters, regal through interpretation. 

All of it is very vivid in my head and my imagination feels so full!! I’m so sad I finished the books (I counted down the page and lamented each time I forgot to, realizing I was closing in on the end), I was in tears by the end of it, and I keep re-reading passages… This trilogy is definitely going to be marked down as one of the best read I ever got!
