FUCK, HOW AM I ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT!??!! FUCK

I sold myself at auction because I had no other options—or so I thought.
Damiano Orsini knew I had another option.

~ Obviously

“By the way, Dami,” he says as I rise to leave, “snakes aren’t poisonous.”
“What?”
“Snakes are venomous. I’m a venomous little viper.”
I stare at him, at his smug goddamn face, and shake my head. “Yeah. I’ll keep that in mind.”

~ Ah well, I guess I love him

I feel my desire and my hatred for him crystallizing into something beautifully vicious.
Caligula Clemenza is desperately in need of correction.
And I am going to take pleasure in providing it.

~ let's be so fr, when have you ever

Idk, it's just so flat. This Damiano is just not someone I see as a threat / someone dangerous. He hasn't DONE anything for the book to justify the mystique it assigns to him. I'm just meant to believe that he has a history of cruelty and also this inexplicable soft spot for Caligula and Rosa and his friend, all 3 of the people we see him interact with!?!?! I call bullshit.

His smile widens. “Your body is more honest than your mouth, golden boy.”

~ I hate this narrative so much, genuinely disgusts me so much to hear this sentiment echoed... this is rape culture getting justified

Okay so this is still a bit tame, glad it was an act. Psychologically diabolical but I'm not really seeing the vision yet. I don't see how this is like... the worst fate he could have cooked up for Caligula???

Maybe I've read too much fucked up shit cuz lowkey, this Damiano is sooooo tame. He cares too much about Caligula on day one, it's really diminishing his potential 'darkness' when the only bad thing that's happened to Caligula is that he fainted for UNRELATED TO THIS DAMIANO REASONS!!!
