One Thing I Love About Red Rising Is How Often Characters, But Especially Darrow, Just Go I Do Not Want

One thing I love about Red Rising is how often characters, but especially Darrow, just go “I do not want to be here, I do not want to fight, I do not want to break bones and feel blood on my hands. I want to be in peace with the people who love me. But to honor those people/keep them safe I’ll fight.”

Darrow as a protagonist is brutally honest about being scared and lost and sad. He’s a myth, he’s cultivated a reputation of a killer. But all he ever wanted was to be a father and a husband.

i just like to coo at him sometimes

the molt has come for neil

Julian & Cassius au Bellona

My interpretation of a young Julian & Cassius Bellona from Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series.

being at work while your personal life is falling apart has to be among the top 3 worst human experiences. You’re at your absolute lowest and someone wants to circle back on an email…… unreal

congratulations to Cassius on being Darrow's third wife btw
