In no particular order: my favourite parts of the Captive Prince trilogy
– Damen upon discovering Torveld is in love with Laurent: “oh wow I had no idea Torveld had a thing for reptiles”
– Ancel coming out on stage to perform holding a stick and Damen immediately assuming he’s about to shove it in his own ass
– “Your uncle asked me to spy on you by taking you to bed” “did you agree?” “If I bedded you, you’d know it.”
– “I wouldn’t make you do anything distasteful, Nicaise” “looking at you is distasteful”
– “Maybe I’d like you if you were not a foot taller” “It’s considerably less than a foot.” “Feels like more when you argue with me on points of honour”
– Laurent asking Damen how to knock on the door of a brothel: “this is your arena after all”
– “It’s not my fault nobody in your country can think in a straight line”
– “I can’t get to Laurent in time to save him from his attacker!” *grabs sword* “YEET.”
– Aimeric continuously being a cockblock
– Laurent, about to go off on Guion: “Damen is 100% of my impulse control, unfortunately for you he isn’t here right now”
– *laurent is given a pleasure slave who’s pumped to get it on with him* Damen: “You realize he’s gonna make you sit around in his room and do jackshit.”
– “You might have killed Damen!” “That’s the idea.”
– “Who do you want to guard Jokaste’s prison cell?” “Find the two gayest men here and make them do it.”
– Damen, despite being king, standing on Laurent’s command to serve him like some medieval version of “Daddy pass the salt”
