Darrow literally has more light scenes with Cassius than with Sevro or Virginia and Cassius isn't even there with him for 3 of the 6 books

(he so clearly wants what Darrow and Sevro have😭)

Wait there are more in the reblog-

Book 1: The Jackal is a nameless, superhuman creature, no one knows what he looks like, some think he’s not even real, his sole name evokes dread in the protagonist

Book 2: AND he’s got daddy issues!!

Lysander, softly, holding a gun to Darrow’s head: Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all, Reaper, and he comes for you now. So, as a final courtesy, I ask: who is your favorite poet?

Darrow, utterly unimpressed: Sevro Barca

Lysander: Seriously?

Darrow: *raises an eyebrow*

Lysander, sighing: Fine. If your heart beats like a drum—

Virginia really took a look at Darrow at his meanest and said 'damn, he's hot'. Then watched as he sacrificed his win to help her and she said 'i crave him biblically' and hasn't stopped ever since 😩.

Pierce about Red God: it's a pretty vicious finale

Me not even halfway through the series: haven't the books been vicious enough so far???????

Can't wait for Lysander to get his memories of his mom back and find out that her fondest hope for her son was for him to grow up to be a man a whole lot like Cassius.

Manifesting my ideal Red God opening:

#red rising #light bringer spoilers #i guess? not really #red god #atalantia au grimmus #darrow of lykos #in my ideal world red god opens with Virginia pov (since she was so underutilized in lb) and we get to see how the battle of mars is going #we have no idea how much time has passed and no idea where Darrow is until bam. he shows up to kick ass and kiss his wife #I just think it would be so fun if the first time we see Darrow again is also the first time mars sees Darrow again

Red God prediction - Red Rising

I’m calling it right now - Lysander will use the Red cube on Mars. He favors Gold too much to use it on them (ex. When he chose Seraphina over all those lowColors in Iron Gold). Deanna, Kieran, and all the rest of Darrow’s Red family on Mars will die. (Pax will survive this.) Rhonna will survive because she is ALIVE and on Mercury (there’s no way she just quietly disappeared forever imo). Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Red God update from Pierce's newest insta story.

(I'll transcribe this later unless someone wants to do it for me haha)

#pierce brown #red rising #red god #video #my post

[sad-endings-suck]

One of my favourite details from the original Red Rising trilogy, is that no one ever came close to guessing or even suspecting that Darrow wasn’t a gold.

It shows the inherent flaw in their sense of superiority. Octavia had Darrow right there in front of her, with an Oracle wrapped around his arm, and even though she suspected he was a Son of Ares, she never asked if he was anything other than gold, didn’t even come close.

Adrius and Virginia are geniuses, but still, neither of them could have possibly fathomed that Darrow was a red until they had the concrete evidence of his carving right in front of them.

To this day (in canon) the only reason anyone knows Darrow is a red carved to be gold, is because the video evidence of his carving was leaked (initially from Harmony, and later from others).

No one, no matter how intelligent, practical, paranoid, cautions, clever or skeptical, ever figured out about Darrow’s carving through their own suspicion or means of investigation. They were either in on it from the beginning (Dancer, Mickey, Quicksilver, etc) or they were shown video evidence. No one figured it out themselves or “unravelled the mystery” so to speak. Because no one even knew there was a mystery.

And before people say “it was extremely unlikely, they had no reason to suspect” Yes, Darrow’s carving was incredibly difficult and expensive, but the same procedure was performed on Titus not long after, so how rare or hard could it be? We even get a dialogue from Mustang in Golden Son in which she details that different colours go to carvers all the time to have “intrinsic” parts of themselves altered, far more often than the public realizes. So the possibility should have been on Octavia’s radar, but it wasn’t, because she simply couldn’t fathom it. It was too obscure.

How could a red be the spitting image of what gold society idealizes? How could a red be so tall, strong, and beautiful? How could a red graduate top of the Institute, become a peerless scarred, a Lancer, her own grandson’s celebrity hero? Neither her nor Nero or Lorn or even Adrius were capable of even entertaining the idea. It was not a thought that was ever going to occur to them naturally.

And I really love that, from a narrative perspective, because it says so much about how the Society operates and upholds itself. It says so much about how high on their own egos golds really are. It says so much about how the colours are not as different from one another as golds would have them believe.

Cassian Andor: What? To steal from the Empire? What do you need? A uniform, some dirty hands and an Imperial tool kit. They're so proud of themselves, they don't even care. They're so fat and satisfied, they can't imagine it.

Luthen Rael: Can't imagine what?

Cassian Andor: That someone like me would ever get inside their house, walk their floors, spit in their food, take their gear.

to think darrow killed orion to save one billion civilians, commanded his broken army to share their minimal supplies with civilians and alexander was tortured for weeks so he could save one hundred thousand civilians only for those civilians to turn on them at the first opportunity and undo all the progress made by fifteen years of war

“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”

ARYA STARK AND THE GODS ❦ WARD OF THE RED GOD

Arya remembered Thoros of Myr in his bits of old armor, worn over robes so faded that he had seemed more a pink priest than a red one. Yet his kiss had brought Lord Beric back from death. She watched the red god's house drift by, wondering whether these Braavosi priests of his could do the same.

The religion’s prime deity is known by many names to his worshippers - the Lord of Light, the Heart of Fire, the God of Flame and Shadow. Beyond his following, he is most commonly referred to as the Red God, and his proper name is R’hllor. The religion is based on a dualistic, manichean view of the world, with near equal import given to R’hllor’s nemesis, the Great Other, whose name may not be spoken, who is also referred to as the Lord of Darkness, the Soul of Ice, the God of Night and Terror.

They are locked in an eternal struggle over the fate of the world; a struggle that, according the ancient prophecies from the books of Asshai, will only end when Azor Ahai, the messianic figure, returns wielding a flaming sword called Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and raises dragons from stone. A prophecy found in ancient books of Asshai claims that after a long summer, an evil cold darkness shall fall on the world. Azor Ahai, wielding the sword Lightbringer, shall be reborn to combat this darkness.

Worship of R’hllor is practiced primarily in Essos and the Temple in Volantis has been called the greatest temple in the known world. All those who serve there are slaves who were bought as children and trained. Whether this is the case in other cities is unknown. Red priests are taught prayers and spells, and are trained to see things in fires. According to the priestess Melisandre, the Lord of Light cherishes innocent and beautiful people and items, making them the most precious sacrifice.

Red priests attribute their god’s fire to life, hence his symbol: a fiery heart. The death rite administered by priests to the deceased is known as the last kiss. The priest fills his mouth with fire and breaths the flames inside the deceased person, down his throat to his lungs, heart, and soul. The performance of this rite by Thoros of Myr upon Ser Beric Dondarrion coincided with the latter’s inadvertent, inexplicable resurrection, and the Lightnign Lord is rumored to have gifted the same to Lady Stoneheart through a kiss of his own.
