Lyria in Iron Gold:

Cassius in Light Bringer:

Today, I am imagining Lyria and Cassius going back to Mars together and establishing the Candy for Kids Foundation. Kavax is a major sponsor.

a Q&A featuring pierce brown, author of red rising. honestly the worst part about this is the fact that I found out he pronounces Kavax like “kav-axe” instead of “kah-vax.” no I haven’t listened to the audiobook nor know if there is an original pronunciation for that name but man does that throw me off

also there may be spoilers in the Q&A idk I haven’t finished it

Kavax and Fitchner:

I always thought it was a wasted opportunity that they did not interract much. Pierce agrees:

So damn different, almost mirror images, in every way. So fascinating.

Kewber Baal, the new artist, really knows his stuff, although the sci-fi elements could be a tad bit...smoother.

But look at our eternal good boy, Sophocles. He's such a cutie pie. 🦊💖

“You are good, my dear. You are patient when it is not in your nature. You are attentive when you are taken for granted. You are kind when the world insists it is convenient to be cruel. You are good. True good”

2023 Fanfic: TolkienGirl

Delighted to say that I wrote a mix of old and new this year! May 2024 bring the end of The Figurehead, some exciting new Silmarillion Gold Rush AU installments, and the reveal of a delightful project @mapleymood and I have been crafting!

You can find all relevant updates to the Silmarillion Gold Rush AU, "All That Glitters," here. Is it a wildly niche special interest? Yes. Is it wholly addictive for both readers and authors? Sure is! Go forth and prosper, 'tis your Manifest Destiny.

Otherwise...

Friday Night Lights:

Nostos - [Tyra, S5] In the grey, quiet hours spent packing up her things, Tyra can admit that there’s something bittersweet about the ease and uncertainty that go hand-in-hand in her new life. Turns out you can mix with other people pretty easily in the day-to-day, but the friendships don’t stick at the end of a semester; the end of a year.

doubt truth to be a liar - [Tyra, Pilot] It’s a quiet exodus, for ten thousand people. Sure, there’s the thunder of footsteps—the growl of city-like traffic, a town come alive for one night only—but that’s all. There’s no victory. The loss covers everything, heavy and silent as nightfall.

elemental - [Lyla v. Tyra, S2] Summer hits hot and heavy, no chance of rain. Thunderstorms crackle along the edges of the sky sometimes, but mostly, the sun just holds the whole world in its white-hot sway.

all the worst things in life come free to us - [Tyra, S1] Tyra isn’t easy, exactly—it’s just that life is hard.

holding the matches - [Lyla, S1] There were lines between all the lives you used to live, before Jason fell—classroom life, cheer life, school life, home life. Now there’s a secret life you can never bring into the light. Now, you have to consider the difference between little white lies and the kinds of sins that damn you.

the thief of joy - [Lyla, outsider POV, S1] The thing about Lyla Garrity...

a dim light far in the distance - [Matt, Pre-Series] Matt doesn’t know if he’s more than halfway decent at anything.

nothing that still bewildered - [Tyra & the Taylors, S1] Life’s been turned on its head, and now Tyra is corrupting wide-eyed Julie Taylor and feeling weirdly protective while she does it.

Red Rising:

either way, I forgot his name by heart - [Cassius & Julian, Pre-Series] Cassius is half a whole.

something warm roars at tonight's torn edge - [Darrow/Mustang, Red Rising] Here is how the balance between them settles: he catches her gaze, when she is hiding, and he lets her go. She finds him wounded, cut down by the one who seemed to love him like a brother, and she makes a home with him.

in the interest of truth - [Mustang & Victra, Iron Gold] Virginia will never let herself be too soft for any world. It is Mustang who has become weak—the girl who survived too stubbornly to ever truly learn wisdom.

deep worlds you lived before, deep worlds hereafter - [Roque & Mustang, post-Red Rising] “The question, I suppose, is whether one can love a man one does not understand.”

Teatime - [The Jackal, Morning Star] Your whispers, your offers, must seem gift-like. Before long, the rust-stained bastard will be wholly yours, body and mind. You don’t believe in souls.

born to raise the sons of earth - [Mustang & House Telemanus, Pre-Series -> Morning Star] She’s proven Eo right. And it wasn’t because of me. It wasn’t because of love. It was because it was the right thing to do, and because mighty Kavax was more a father to her than her own ever was.

The Summer I Turned Pretty:

even a river will die of thirst - [Jeremiah, S2] “You have so much love to give,” your mom says to you—at five, at seven, at sixteen. Maybe she’ll be saying it when you’re forty. You try to imagine your mom old, with white hair and wrinkles, carrying the years like wisdom. You can never quite picture it.

till forever falls apart - [Jeremiah, post-S1] They’re going to bury your light with her.

a reminder that all mistakes are not reversible - [Jeremiah, S1] Being a Fisher is a closed-door affair.

we possess nothing certainly (except the past) - [Jeremiah, Pre-Series] Conrad comes home early on a Tuesday, and just like, the world turns upside down again.

my name a past tense (where I left my hands for good) - [Jeremiah, S2] You’ve gotten everything off your chest, which leaves your heart exposed. It sucks, coming in second place all your life.

Stranger Things:

The Figurehead - [Stancy, speculative S5] When the first flakes of living ash begin to fall, Steve isn’t ready. He’s never ready. That’s not what counts.

to the young who want to die - [Steve, S4] You don’t get used to the end of the world; you get used to the time it takes the apocalypse to actually get on with it. 

Lockwood & Co.:

Convalescence - [End of S1] Lockwood assures them that the pain is nothing, and more importantly, “They’re letting me keep the bullet.”

more heaven than a heart could hold (an exquisite extreme, I know) - Lucy considers all the contradictions that make up A. Lockwood.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier:

among the vanishing - [Steve & Bucky] How can you give what was never yours?

Middlemarch:

much ambition and an irrepressible hopefulness - [Mary Garth/Fred Vincy] Mary could not refuse a proposal he had not made, and she could not urge one that she did not believe herself able to accept.

And a fun little update to @mapleymood and my other project, Still Life!

POV: First person; Darrow

Time Period/Location: A future of genetically enhanced and segregated humans across the Solar System, including Mars, Io, Earth, Luna (Earth’s Moon), and the outskirts of Jupiter.

First Line: I rise into darkness, away from the garden they watered with the blood of my friends.

After the tragedy of the Triumph at the end of Golden Son, Morning Star opens a year later, with Darrow imprisoned by the Jackal in a stone box. He is slowly going insane from the darkness, but, just as he is about to end it all, he is slowly lifted from it. The entire time he was inside a stone table, and it has been 9 months that he has been in the box, after being tortured for 3. He is being given by the Jackal to Cassius au Bellona and Aja au Grimmus so the Sovereign can have him dissected. He is taken by Legion XVIII Grays, and during this, rescued by two of them, brother and sister, Holiday and Trigg ti Nakamura. On their way out they encounter Vixus, who reveals that Victra is alive. Darrow demands they free her, which reveals their escape. Darrow kills Vixus, and they escape into a tunnel dug by clawDrills with the help of Ragnar, Sevro, and the Sons of Ares, who Sevro now leads as Ares. This, however, costs Trigg’s life. Darrow awakes in the underground Sons of Ares run city of Tinos. His entire Red family is there, as is Dancer, Sevro, and Ragnar. Sevro reveals to Darrow a lot of things, such as Darrow’s Carving being made public after the Society fake executed him as a Gold and not a Red spy, that the Moon Lords of Jupiter and the rest of the outer Rim planets had rebelled with the aid of Mustang and the Telemanus family, and that Sevro had taken Darrow’s original Red eyes in place of his Gold ones. Darrow undergoes another carving by Mickey to restore him back to how he was, but has his sigils removed so his hands are bare. They go on bigger and bigger missions till Darrow, Victra, and Holiday are inducted as Howlers. Sevro then decides to move on with their mission to economically collapse the society by kidnapping Quicksilver, the richest Silver in the Solar System and the Jackal’s silent partner, and bombing Phobos. They smuggle into Phobos and find Matteo, the pink that trained Darrow in Aureate society before he went to the Institute, but Sevro breaks his jaw when he doesn’t know where Quicksilver is. They head to his office, and are shocked to find Mustang, Kavax au Telemanus, Moira au Grimmus (sister to Aja), and Cassius brokering a peace treaty between the Moon Lords and the Sovereign. Sevro goes off the walls, drunk on power, and begins a battle. Moira dies, Cassius and Mustang escape, and Kavax, Matteo, and Quicksilver are taken prisoner. Darrow assumes control from Sevro and they escape in the void of space out the window and into the back of Holiday’s ship. Once back in the Sons of Ares safe house, they stress on how to escape, and then go to question Quicksilver. He reveals he was the original Son of Ares all along after having found it with Fitchner. Darrow and Sevro fight, and Sevro defers leadership to Darrow. In order to save the Sons of Ares on Phobos and cause a ruse for another plan, he starts a rebellion of all the lowColors on the moon. As the rebellion rages and he is assumed to be on Phobos, him, Holiday, and Ragnar escape in a ship headed for the south pole of Mars, where they plan to raise an Obsidian army and lead them out of slavery. Mustang also accompanies them on this journey, saying she needs proof that Darrow is fighting for the right cause. After the Obsidians challenged Gold years back, the Golds had marooned them on the poles of the planets, brainwashing them into thinking Golds are Asgardian gods and that their technology is magic to keep them in check. Ragnar intends to show his tribe the way to freedom and have them join the Rising, but they are shot down by Cassius and Aja. They fight off cannibals and snow storms and Carved monsters, but eventually track down Cassius and Aja. Mustang shoots Cassius through the throat and he survives but is subdued, and Aja brings down Ragnar before stumbling off of a cliff. As he lay dying, his sister and her Valkyrie arrive on griffins. He tells her to live for more, and then dies. This leaves Darrow, Holiday, and Mustang to entreat Ragnar and Sefi’s mother, Alia Snowsparrow, to join their cause and tell her people the Golds are false gods. She knew already, however, and tells Sefi to turn them into the Golds on the floating mountain of Asgard. Sefi takes them, but not before making a deal with Darrow to let him prove to her the gods are false, and he does, killing Procter Mercury, who was disguised as Loki, and another Gold disguised as Freya. They capture the rest of the Golds in the mountain, return to the tribe, and present them to the war council and Alia. She demands the Golds freed so Sefi beheads Alia, and then slowly kills all of the Golds. Several weeks later, she has united the Obsidian tribes of south Mars, and leads them all back to Tinos. Their next move is to sail to Io to convince Romulus au Raa to ally with them against the Society’s Sword Armada, led by none other than Roque au Fabii. Darrow convinces/tricks them into an alliance, and they defeat the Sword Armada. Roque kills himself before being taken prisoner or disgraced, and Antonia flees, but is soon caught. Darrow destroys Romulus’s ship port, framing Roque for it, so the Moon Lords will not be a threat to him for the rest of the war. They broadcast that they are sailing to Mars when they actually sail for Luna.  During this time, the Obsidians revolt after Darrow’s uncle Narol was publicly executed by the Jackal. They hang Gold prisoners and attempt to hang Cassius, but Sevro proves a point that they need to be better by hanging himself. Cassius and Sevro fortunately survive the display, and shortly after Victra and Sevro are married. They sail on Luna, and, after rebonding with Cassius, Darrow decides to let him go before one of the Obsidians or Reds sneak into the prison during the battle and kills him. He betrays them however, and kills Sevro, captures Darrow and Mustang, frees Antonia, and escapes. They bring Darrow, Mustang, and Sevro’s body before the Jackal, and the Jackal demands Cassius to cut off Darrow’s sword hand, which he does. He then takes them before the Sovereign. Octavia executes Antonia for her cowardice during the battle in the Rim, and then starts live-streaming the execution of Darrow. The Jackal demands to put him down, but instead, Cassius reveals the entire thing was a trick and starts killing the Praetorians in the room. Together, Darrow, Mustang, Cassius, and the now revived, not dead at all Sevro take down the Truth Knight and the Joy Knight, pin the Jackal to the floor, cut Octavia’s belly open, and kill Aja. They let the Sovereign die, leaving her grandson Lysander alive, and then hear the Jackal laugh. He begins to instruct his Bonerider, Lilath, to detonate 30 megaton nuclear warheads all over Luna. He gets around 15 of them off before Darrow rips out his tongue and the Ash Lord destroys Lilath’s ship. Mustang becomes the new Sovereign of the Society, and the Jackal is hanged. The Ash Lord flees to Mercury, and Cassius takes Lysander with him to start a new life. At the end of the book, Mustang and Darrow are on Earth where she reveals that she has been keeping a secret from him. Another ship with Darrow’s family and the Telemanus family arrive, and he is introduced to his and Mustang’s son, Pax. 

Darrow O’Lykos (The Reaper of Mars; The Morning Star): Darrow’s humbling at the hands of the Jackal is some serious character growth that was much needed. He realizes that he and the people around him are not invincible, and is more willing to make sacrifices and smarter decisions. The reveal of him having a son with Mustang is a lovely closing arc (despite there being more books). Eo and their child was lost, but he gained a new life, in a better world with Mustang and their son, the ultimate reward for his sacrifices. The grace he shows for Roque, Cassius, and Thistle despite what they have done to him show him to be a true judge of character.  The only thing I wish had been shown more was his PTSD from the Jackal. Granted he does have it, and it is shown, but I felt as though there could have been better representation of that. 

Cassius au Bellona (The Morning Knight): Cassius has one of the best redemption arcs I have ever seen, starting with when he covers the naked and tortured Darrow after he is brought out of the Jackal’s box with his own Morning Knight cloak. Darrow never gives up on him, even when they are enemies, and it eventually gets through to him. He shows grace, mercy, true honor, and a lack of the “revenge/blood for blood” motto he has in the first and second book. It was a really scary plot twist to go from Cassius being good, to him “killing” Sevro and “capturing Mustang and Darrow”, to him then being revealed as good again. 

Sevro au Barca (Goblin; Ares): I’m sorry but you will be hard pressed to find a more badass scene than when Sevro hangs himself to save Cassius. 

Storyline: The storyline of this book is exquisite. It keeps you on your toes the whole time, and everything flows together really well. Everything makes sense (no “Game of Thrones finale” endings here). Nothing magically resolves itself, there are no plot holes, and the author isn’t shy about killing major characters (RIP Ragnar, Roque, Lorn, Tactus, Quinn, Lea, Pax, Fitchner, and Uncle Narol).

Representation: Orion xe Aquarii, Thistle, and Aja au Grimmus are the only people of color explicitly mentioned. Quicksilver proclaims very proudly that Matteo is his husband. Holiday explains that her brother Trigg was engaged to a man named Ephraim. There are more comments alluding to the fact that Roque and Tactus were involved, and Tactus’ brother makes a joke asking if him and Darrow were involved, as Darrow “wouldn’t have been the first.”

Summary: The plot twists of this book, the secret plans, the bold moves, the character development, the gut wrenching emotions, the entertaining and powerful dialogue, all combines into a serious masterpiece of a book and a great ending to the first part of the series. It has a heavy happy ending; there are still problems, nothing is perfect, they only arrived there through blood, sweat, tears, and death, but everything is good, because they have won, and Darrow has gotten back what he lost in a new way. 

Quotes:  “All deeds that last are painted in blood.” (pg. 5) “’I will give Eo your love. I will make a house for you in the Vale of your fathers. It will be beside my own. Join me there when you die.’ He grins. ‘But I am no builder. So take your time. We will wait.’”-Ragnar Volarus (pg. 237) “’This is always how the story would end, Adrius,’ I say down to him. ‘Not with your screams. Not with your rage. But with your silence.’”-Darrow O’Lykos (to Adrius au Augustus) (pg. 501) “’A man thinks he can fly, but he is afraid to jump. A poor friend pushes him from behind.’ He looks up at me. ‘A good friend jumps with.’” “Justice isn’t about fixing the past, it’s about fixing the future. We’re not fighting for the dead. We’re fighting for the living. And for those who aren’t yet born.”-Darrow O’Lykos “And I wonder, in my last moments, if the planet does not mind that we wound her surface or pillage her bounty, because she knows we silly warm things are not even a breath in her cosmic life. We have grown and spread, and will rage and die. And when all that remains of us is our steel monuments and plastic idols, her winds will whisper, her sands will shift, and she will spin on and on, forgetting about the bold, hairless apes who thought they deserved immortality.”-Darrow O’Lykos “If your heart beats like a drum, and your legs a little wet, it’s because the Reaper’s come to collect a little debt.”-Sevro au Barca “Man is no island. We need those who love us. We need those who hate us. We need others to tether us to life, to give us a reason to live, to feel.” “What is pride without honor? What is honor without truth? Honor is not what you say. It is not what you read.” Romulus thumps his chest. “Honor is what you do.”-Romulus au Raa

Sons of Ares Volume III Thoughts (SPOILER WARNING)

The ebook version of Forbidden Song is out so I impulse bought it to read and get all the juicy details I could, and holy bloodydamn shit am I glad I did. this is easily the best of the 3 Sons of Ares arcs, especially as it pertains to my timeline and lore notes.

I’m putting my spoiler-filled thoughts under the cut

We get flashbacks to the fall of Augustus in Nero’s childhood and his courtship with Iona au Bellona!!

Brief little guest scenes featuring Claudius and Karnus, along with confirmation of how old Karnus is (he’s 11 years older than Darrow)!

FITCHNER BEING JUST AS MUCH OF A “HIDE SHIT FROM THE AUDIENCE FOR THE SAKE OF DRAMA AND TWISTS” GUY AS DARROW IS!!! I am not kidding when I say that That part of Morning Star now has some competition for the title of “fake character death that makes readers want to quit reading”

We got the construction of Tinos and Fitchner becoming Proctor of House Mars.

More evidence to the “Quicksilver is shady” pile because Fitchner makes a comment implying he knew about Occulus, indicating that it was already built and running in secret by 725 PCE.

More details on character backstories - turns out, Harmony has been with the Sons of Ares longer than Dancer has.

AND KAVAX AU TELEMANUS!!!!!!!! Kavax was easily one of my favorite parts of this comic and I’m now worried about his survival in Light Bringer because Forbidden Song reveals just how influential he was to setting the events of the novel in motion. For one, because there’s a hint that Kavax inspired the card trick that Dancer uses to test Darrow in Red Rising. And for another, KAVAX IS THE REASON THAT FITCHNER WAS A PROCTOR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

"I know it may be impossible to believe now, when everything is dark and broken, but you will survive this pain, little one. Pain is a memory. You will live and you will struggle and you will find joy. And you will remember your family from this breath to your dying days, because love does not fade. Love is the stars, and its light carries on longer after death."

Yep, that left me crying like a baby for a few hours, thank you Pierce Brown, thank you so f*cking much. It was like he was talking to me and not Lyria 😭

Red Rising Thoughts: Golden Son

Starting with this gem...

God...the audacity of this woman! ❤️ I'm just imagining all of these men looking at this gorgeous woman as she eats an apple like she's queen shit of the room (which she clearly is! Lol)

Gee thanks Darrow...I didn't expect to orgasm instantly from thinking about your smug ass smile, but here we are!! 🥴🥴

I really wanted to smack the fuck out of Nero for this, but clearly Mustang has got this shit handled!

Yep...wanna smack Pliny too. Tbh, I wanted Darrow to kill him ages ago...the fucking Pixie..

BUUURRNNN!! 🤣🤣

I mean, if I was Pliny's wife, I wouldn't wanna bang him either. 🤮

This family!! I love them so friggin much!

Now I am wondering how much PB thought about Thraxa at this point in the novel or if she even had a name at this point. I know it says after this that it would be a few months before they would arrive because they were on Neptune for some reason, but I wonder if they ever made it? It was either not discussed or I completely forgot lol.

Come on Roque..are you that deluded enough to think that you could have really protected Darrow? I mean..it would end up being just you and whoever was loyal to you because it sounded like your mother wanted nothing to do with it. I really don't understand what he thought he was really gonna do tbh...

I bet he's also pissed that he was essentially determined to be weak by Darrow and needed saving...but really, Roque is a bit of a damsel in distress 🤣.

Kavax: this is lyria, she’s my new protege whom I will protect with my life

Victra:

The sly foxes Telemanus. The healthiest family wise house in RR.

In my last post (  Why the Bellona house is better than Augustus.) i did point out the Telemanus are the best Gold house in regards of actual connection, love, healthy relationships and raising of normal funcioning people ( normal as normal they can in Gold society and survive, otherwise they’ll all end like Julian au Bellona no matter their huge size).  But what makes House Telemanus so vastly different and far superior than giant power-wise houses like Augustus, Arcos, Bellona and Raa? Well perhaps we should turn our gaze towards the house leader - Kavax au Telemanus.  Kavax for once is the only father without a favourite child, as it should be. Every house we’ve met in bigger or lesser degree has favorites, House Augustus bringing this to the extreme. Kavax however never expressed such feelings. His heart is as big if not even bigger than his huge frame, he shows openly kindness, fondness and support for his children and their descions and never shy’s away from expressing it. Other houses and Golds usually view them with fear of their size but often comment about Kavax’s “madness”. How he and Daxo “let” a fox take desicions and he talks boldly about magic in a world where nobody believes in it. I say its a sign of a person who doesn’t want to appeal to society, likes to be on the peculiar side and is not concerned at all with people’s opinion.  However what makes Kavax not simply peculiar but actually weird is the way he raises his children. Nero acts towards his children like investments and puppets who should make him proud or they aren’t worthy to live, he is sexist, he is power-hungry. Golds desire their children to be the next Alexander the Great, Hercules, Achilles, they even put them in an institute with houses named after Gods as if saying you should be a demi-god, go and prove you can fight, cheat and succeed with do not let morals hold you back. Kavax knows what it is expected from Gold children yet he raises his children and Mustang telling them tales not of war-lords, powerful bloodthirsty kings or cunning success, but of real or mythological figures of people who show kindness, compassion and love, about figures who fight for justice, not for gains. He refuses to kill his children’s humanity so they can become better Golds, he hopes to create better Golds by teaching them how to be human. And this doesn’t work just on his children, it works on the Archgovernor’s own daughter. The Sovereign of the Republic is what it is today thankfully of her early friendship with Pax and then being raised in Kavax’s household. I don’t dare to imagine the pain and heartbreak she would have gotten had she stayed with her own father and how awful this would have showed in her characther ( I guess we can thank Adrius on this one, he deserved to be raised there too). But enough on Kavax, for the kindest giant in the bear-crested house was Pax. Best friend of Mustang and constant supporter of Darrow, Pax’s differed hugely by other Golds by not holding any grudges. He and Darrow fought, basically outing themselves on the battle field but the moment Pax saw the other side of Darrow, he became his biggest fan. No butts, no if’s, he gave his utter and complete loyalty and devotion. I believe we can only dream of friends as the Telemanus ( or Sevro and Victra). As Darrow said, whenever Pax told a story it was hard to tell who were the bad and who were the good guys, for Pax almost everybody has a good quality or trait. It seems it is Darrow’s fate to have a Telemanus at his side when fighting, for Thraxa took her little brother’s place and hasn’t left Darrow even in his worst moments. Fiersome loyalty and supportive friendship is something we see in everybody from this house. Even in the scheming, genius tyrant that was Daxo. As Mustang commented: this man could have ruled words if only he wished for it. However Daxo, despite his cold calculative mind and huge ambitions never allowed to harm those closest to him,to step on others for his blind ambition, the people he deemed worthy of friendship and the ones he called family. Virginia au Augustus was never a maiden in distress yet her own personal knight saved her life more than once. Not because she asked for it, but because that is friendship for somebody from Bear’s team ( despite their love for foxes, their crest is actually the befitting bear). This is what makes the Telemanus far superior from any other house. Don’t get me wrong, other houses also love and express their affection but not nearly as well or healthy as this house.  In later posts I will look at the houses from symbolical and aesthetical point of view and delve deeper in the meaning of their crests, colors and family sayings.

Kavax au Telemanus sending freshly healed escapé and freshly sworn to the Republic Morning Knight, Cassius au Bellona to save the Howlers from Mercury was the greatest magic act of all time. After The Adventures of Sophocles the Immortal and the Wise.

*rains watermelon jellybeans*

It is currently 3:41am.

I have my final rehearsal tomorrow.

I should really go to sleep... And yet all I can think of is Kavax and Fitchner interacting!

We've been robbed of great Dad™ content, my fellow Howlers! Robbed! 🐺🦊

*eyes snap open at 2 am* I want Kavax au Telemanus to adopt me
