“Will felt lost forever to the knowledge that he was a simp for James in his past life, and also his simp in this life”

Theory number 732 b) about the collar:
The Sun King made Anharion use up all his powers and Anharion was basically dying/disappearing (many hints that happens to James - Will worries about it often and compares James to the Elder Stone, “vanishing with every use”).
Sarcean is devastated and wanted a device that would let Anharion have full access to his own powers. However they were on opposite sides of the war and he couldn’t trust Anharion fully. So as a prenup, he added the caveat that he could control Anharion. But he never actually ended up having to use that ability cuz Anharion never abused the power sharing and he ended up falling in love in “aching surrender” and all that.
It becomes a symbol of complete trust between them. Sarcean could control Anharion but never will. And Anharion could use Sarcean’s infinite powers against him, but never will.
Have you ever been in such deep shit that u were like “i might as well die and then reincarnate in 10000 years, that should be long enough for everyone to get over it”
And then u come back, but everyone is even more pissed at you than before!!?
Pretty privilege is when you’re so attractive that even if you’ve killed his brother, he still wants to fuck you because you’re too hot to resist
Visander: everyone is making fun of me
Therapist: what are they saying?
Visander: that i fucked a horse
Therapist: *sputters* d..did you?
Visander: ya but it was consensual
Therapist: how do u know?
Visander: he spoke in my head
Sarcean: Don’t ever be alone in a room with Visander k?
Valdithor: Neigh
Basically, Sarcean was the king of saying “future me problem”

Day n. 245: the third volume of the "Dark Rise" saga by C.S. Pacat is not here yet.
I'm doing fine.
The wall is pretty good. There is Will near me. He's telling me that I'm not out of my mind.
I'm totally fine. I'm not crazy.
I'm good.
when dark rise tumblr posts r starting to sound like Marcus’s diary.
if book 3 doesn’t come soon we r all going to TURN
The entire Captive Prince series is basically Laurent seething because the guy that killed his brother is so insanely hot
Like imagine u r about to get ur revenge after waiting so many years but when you finally see the asshole you get a boner instead. You’d be pissed too
Wei wuxian (holding Bichen): “if only Lan Zhan would look at me like he looks at Bichen *sigh”
Lan Zhan: 😐

Sarcean was the father of the Light Queens children (Dark Rise)
Guys I think Sarcean is the father of the lights queen child and here is why. For one, this would explain why he was born to this line. It would also eliminate the problem of having an unknown man be the father of her line which is lame and we have to know the answer was hiding in plain sight all along with Pacat!
It’s very possible but at first I was skeptical because I was only wondering about the timing because it seemed to me like the book was showing that the war was in its late phase when the light queen said she would have a child because she couldn’t be alive for later. That would have made it impossible because how would the all get Sarcean to sleep with her if they were enemies unless she tricked him?
However, that was UNTIL I remembered that as with so many things in these books snippets from the past may actually look like they are referring to one thing when they are in all fact referring to another. An example of this is the sword saying it will make its holder “become the champion”. Or even more crucial was when we thought the “try to run” comment was said by Sarcean when it was really said by Anharion. So, the context we have for when she had the baby is only the message on the locket, but when did she carve that locket’s message?
Also it looked like she could see the future through the mirror when she looks at Will in the beginning of book 1, hence why she knew to have a child so soon before. I mean, to what other purpose was that scene then to show how she could see into the future.?
Another bomb in Marcus’s diary is this sentence:
“They say they will find the vessel. The vessel will birth the king.”
Marcus is referring to “the king”, not dark king so i think it’s likely he’s talking about the Sun King here.
Almost all occurrences of the word “vessel” in Dark Heir is used to refer to the host body of a shadow. Does that mean the Sun King will be a returner?
I also felt like it could refer to Visander, given he is inside a “vessel” body and how happy Prescott was to find him. Idk if it means he would literally give birth tho. But the rush for the marriage with Phillip would make sense then too.
GUYYSSSS
Why was Prescott happy when he found out Katherine was Visander?? If he knows who Visander is then he knows his goal is to kill the Dark King. And why was he insistent they get married??
“I am Visander, the Queen’s Champion, returned to this world to kill the Dark King.’
Prescott smiled. The expression filled his eyes with gratification.”
Was it some weird ritual? blood of lady + blood of sarcean?
“She is a bride worthy of you,’ Mr Prescott said. ‘A bride worthy of Him. I believe He would approve heartily of all we are about to do.”
