Push It In Another Inch
Just finished reading Dark Rise. This was my main takeaway: unicorn violence.

Thought process while reading Dark Rise
- Lmao right from the prologue we have an implied past lover chained up…
- “Beg me, then. Beg me on your knees to kill you. Do it.” (pg.2) James sounds like fun hehe
- STARBURSTS AND LIONS
- Dark Rise is on a whole other scale that is much bigger than Captive Prince
- It seems those integrated into higher society (James, Katherine, Elizabeth) are closer to Simon (but some of them don’t know it) than the lower class.
- I like that Pacat gives most of her characters fluid gender expression. So far we have an order of Stewards and Janissaries who are ethereal and androgynous. Violet, Will and James are also androgynously described. Maybe its reflective of Pacat’s relationship with Gender?
- Ahh so that explains why Devon is so pale–and the HORN stabby stabby plz
- THERE ARE SO MANY SMALL CAPTIVE PRINCE CORRELATIONS (especially with James) 1: Gets stabbed in the left shoulder 2: THE COLLAR ENCRUSTED WITH RUBIES AHHH 3: Shiny boots 4: Provokes with words
- The more I think about how Pacat portrays gender and queerness, I think I understand how I’ve fallen so deeply into her work. Subconsciously, her books deconstruct the way I view masculinity and love? Not entirely sure how to word this so bear with me

Not to throw shade on the genius that gave us the Grishaverse but like:
Leigh Bardugo: *tearing up* Stop!!!! Stop romanticizing the Darkling!!!! He'S EVIL!
C.S. Pacat: *puts on sunglasses and does a kickflip* He's evil! Have at him, boys!

unrelated to last post but topical: as the child of lawyers, I got one thing drilled into me from age 10: don’t fucken talk to cops. never talk to cops.
Don’t talk to cops about insignificant things, it’s a trick to get you into a talking-mode to gradually work to more sensitive questions.
Don’t talk to workers inside a police station (medics, cleaners, people bringing bitter cold coffee), assume they’re all cops.
If you absolutely must talk to a medic, deliver your essential medical information to them in one sentence and go back to ‘no comment’ after that. Do not get in a conversation.
Don’t accept a lawyer offered by the cops or a lawyer you don’t know. ONLY take the lawyer provided by the activist organization you’re part of and ask to see their ID. Do not believe people who claim they represent the same firm. If in doubt, keep your mouth shut.
I've been detained. I've been arrested. I know the instinct when you're around other human beings is to try to relate to them on a human level. I get it, being detained is scary, you're in cuffs, maybe you're in the back of a squad car, or in a van in the event of mass arrest. The first thing you're going to want to do is just... Talk to someone. Anyone. To remember that we're all human here, or to try to win them over.
Don't. Cops aren't people. They aren't your friends, and they aren't there to protect you. They're the bloodhounds of the state. Every comment is a hint, every question has ulterior motives, and they are just trying to pump your for information.
The coffee is a trick, your one call is monitored, they are not your fucking friends. You're an enemy combatant and every single interaction you have with them is a component of an interrogation. Close your mouth, ask for legal counsel, and always remember, cops aren't just allowed to lie to you, it's one of their favorite things to do.
you cannot win a cop over. you cannot befriend a cop. a cop does not see you as a person, they see you as a perpetrator - you should view them the same.
Also be careful about anyone in the same arrest van / cell as you because - cops are known to put undercovers in cells to interrogate the arrested - everything is monitored all the time
Comfort and support your comrades, but do not share personal details or discuss anything that could be used against you.
I highly recommend everyone read this thread and watch this video at the end. Pulling the video out for easy access/in case that link ever gets broken:
