I honestly love this scene because I thought it was so insane!!! I kind of imagined it from howls moving castle, or James carrying him bridal style. 🥺😭💘 as magic surround them.

And then the GODDAMN ENDING HAPPENS 😭😭😭

I MISS MY WAMES So MUCH

I have more scenes I intent to draw soon 💘 including that “ending”🫣🥲 maybe I’ll do a comic form 🤔idk

I am starting to think Will and James are written to be opposites of each other. Not complete opposites, but there’s an interesting contrast between them.

Will is missing a father. James is missing a mother.

Will’s mother kept him despite knowing he was Reborn. James’s father was willing to kill his son for being Reborn and cast him out.

Will wanted to avenge his mother’s death. James helped cause his father’s death.

Will’s power is locked up. James’s power originally could barely be contained.

Will appears honest but he manipulates people. James appears sinister but actually hates deceiving people. (Looks like a cinnamon role…you know the rest)

Will’s destined role is leader and ruler. James’s destined role is follower and servant.

Will always resisted being the Dark King. James embraced his role as Anharion for a time to feel special.

Will has never betrayed anyone, even if they deserved it. James betrayed both the Stewards and Sinclair.

It’s like their stories oppose each other. Maybe it will have significance in how things end.

James: You have friends and I envy that.

Will: You're welcome to share my friends.

James: looks at Violet and Cyprian

James: I don't want those.

dark heir chapter 24 highlights i.e. that scene where trying to unlock one's magical powers is written exactly as one might as sex scene

Something something I absolutely adore to imagine that James’s actually got Sarcean’s personality with all the sarcasm and distrust and bad bitch vibe, and Will’s got Anharion personality with not a single mean bone in his body and a very strong loyalty to his loved ones

And that would be due to their actual lives in the present times of the books (James having a life somehow similar to Sarcean’s with all the mistrust and betrayals he’s gone through, and Will having a complicated/abusive relationship with his mom but still loving her a great deal and remaining loyal to her, similarly to Anharion with the Sun King, and then being taken in as The Chosen One TM by the Stewards)

And they would STILL fall in love with each other not because they are bound to each other, not because they were together in a past life, but because their personalities just work so well together and they are complementary

Just a little Dark Heir continuation I wrote to torture myself. (:

Will felt sick. The world was spinning around him, and the one person who could hold him steady was wrong, wrong, wrong.

“My king? What is the matter?”

“Don’t.” Will blurted, “Don’t call me that. I’m not- I’m not him.”

James’s striking eyes looked down at his shivering form, caring gaze trying to work out what was wrong.

“But you are.” He insisted. “You are Sarcean.”

“Please.” Will hated how weak he sounded. “I’m Will. And you’re James. And everything is wrong, we were meant to get out of this together, and I promised-“

He was cut off by gentle hands pulling him up. “Everything will be fine.” James whispered. “We are both here, are we not? Even without the sceptre your army-“

“Stop!” Will regretted talking the moment the words left his mouth. He hated the way James complied with the order, how he stopped talking instantly, how he do anything Will asked of him. 

He hated it, hated it, hated it.

“Who did this to you.” Will whispered, eyes focussed on the glistening collar on James’s neck, now revealed.

“Sinclair.” James said. 

He placed his hands gently on Will’s face, using his thumb to wipe away the silent tears.

Will couldn’t help the pathetic sob that escaped.

“I’m sorry.” He screwed his eyes shut, but the image of rubies set in gold was burned into his brain. “I’ll find away to fix this. Even if I have to give up my life, I will fix this James.”

Dark eyes looked into blue ones, then flickered down to perfect lips. Just as quickly, they looked away, owner betrayed by his own longing.

“I promise.”

was rereading dark heir for torture reasons today and noticed something i hadn't before, when James asks Will to kiss him Will thinks "it was more tempting than the collar"

more tempting than THE COLLAR?! than the literal magical device that tethers them together?!

if this isn't proof of their love being real idk what is

#real meaning not just about the collar #also i would say this is pretty good argument that the collar isn't the ~dark and evil device~ that we think of it as #dark heir #dark rise #will kempen #james st clair #sarcean #anharion #st kempen

James: Nice hands, Will.

Will: Uh, thank you..?

James: I bet they’d look even better wrapped around my—

Cyprian: BIBLE! WRAPPED AROUND THE BIBLE! PRAISE THE LORD, AMEN.

You’re wasting all your faith on me

#my art #dark heir #dark rise #will kempen #james st clair #st kempen #anyways think it’s safe to say your saviour doesn’t look a thing like me!!!!!! #now I sleep see y’all next year #also I am sticking with st kempen as the ship name bc I personally love ship names with like double meanings that are thematic to the ship #eg victuuri sounds like victory and fits in with victor and yuuris motivations and drive to win and stuff #and jupeter for Juno and Peter bc they’re space gays and it sounds like jupiter lol #and with st kempen it’s like. yeah man James literally views him as St Kempen he’s the boy saviour come to save him!!!! #essentially what I’m saying is save me will kempen….will kempen….will kempen save me…..

[marzipanthots]

Maybe in another world they can just be themselves with no grand magical destiny or fate. 😭💕 I’m scared I have no idea how the pacat gonna create the conclusion for the series.

I just want will and James to frolick or run around in the grass or Meadow and live in peace 😭💕

Dark Rise Reread Discovery!

Rereading Dark Rise, I found something I’d forgotten. This excerpt is about Will trying to access his power when he faces James. (I’ve abbreviated this a lot btw. I didn’t want the post to get too long)

“When he hit that closed door…It hurt; a sick, nauseating pain, like pushing on a broken bone…He gasped, coming back to himself in a rush to a throat of blood, as though something had ruptured.”

Will trying to access his power on his own is not only mentally straining but also causes him physical harm. That door inside him isn’t just shut, it’s guarded by a power that hurts him when he tries to force through it.

If he pushed hard enough to reach the power beyond the door, if he didn’t stop until he had it, it might kill him.

I think he’d be willing to do that.

Because it might be the only way to get the collar off.
