Laurent WHAT IS UR MOTIVEEE???!!! Why R U Playing With Damen Bae. Why R U Initiating Texts With Him.

Nicaise lives and comes back to Laurent one spring, clad in armor; he is a young man now, ready to serve his King.

his little gold circlet!!

young laurent, bookish and lovely and all things golden.

some of my ooold captive prince fanart. here’s my take on laurent (i love this hairstyle but tbh i think it would be shorter in canon)

so i’ve been doing a captive prince reread for the nth time (naturally) and am encountering some confusion regarding laurent’s ambush at the start of kings rising.

basically, laurent and his ravenel troops have set out for charcy two days before damen in the name of tactical advantage, but end up missing their rendezvous. we soon come to find that this is because laurent is busy being trapped in a room with govart.

i struggle to understand where the rest of laurent’s men were/are during the time laurent was being taken away/is captured and why they were still very alive later on (as we see when damen arrives to fortaine and sees their many tents)

like what even happened? what did the ambush look like? were they just hanging about outside somewhere?

perhaps i’m missing something… or maybe it’s just a plot hole. in any case.. thoughts ?

yes.

i think there should be a moment between captive prince and prince’s gambit where laurent cuts his long flowy hair into a bob like mulan

that’s the beauty queen himself mm hm.

feel like this is still the best laurent ive drawn idk why i deleted this diva

we don’t thank egeria enough for giving damen his Dimple. she said on god my son will be a thirst trap for the masses. she said if the heir to throne thing doesn’t work out he can always fall back on marriage. and you know what? she was right. laurent fell in love with him knowing he was homeless broke and sleeping in his car. didn’t even have a country or an army to his name. but he turned on the Dimple and sent the croissant prince to his knees.

damen in those nipple clamps fighting for his life: 🫦🫦🫦

laurent:

Do i have started a re-read? Possibly. I wanted this to feel a bit rougher than the first one, because of the horribleness of the scene. (Is there a possibility to spoiler- hide things on tumblr?)

Laurent only lets his hair down when he’s ready to feel vulnerable and GAY AF.
