still going

im going to fix my entire life

When?

Like Um. later

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to put no effort into my appearance

sorry i'm still just so hung up on the fact that captive prince is portrayed by the general public as a series that glorifies slavery and sexual assault (aka the pinnacle of no consent) when in actuality the core theme is that the most important thing you can give someone else is their freedom and their agency and their ability to consent. like even though laurent has all this power over damen at the start of the series, even though he abuses that power a handful of times, ultimately those two spend the entire series figuring out how to best serve the other in order to overcome the violence that was done to and by each of them - not because they're in a master/slave relationship, but simply because they care about the other person and they know that neither of them was allowed the consent they deserved in previous relationships and situations!!! and at the end of all of it, they accept not only that they have been hurt by lack of consent but they acknowledge that they have been abusers in their own ways, perpetuating a system that is harmful and cruel, and when they join together to create a new kingdom they make a point to put an end to the slavery that brought them together in the first place!!!!!!! what the fuck!!!!

Do you ever find yourselves thinking about what an absolute shock it must have been for Laurent to spend years believing Damianos was the kind of monster his uncle was, only to discover that he was the kind of man his brother was? Because I do.

Reading damen’s pov is like: it’s so over. We are so back. It’s so over. We’re so back. It’s so over. We’re so unbelievably back. Laurent is so smart. Laurent is so pretty. It’s so over. Laurent is a demon incapable of human emotion. We are SO back
