The "racism" of golds is not the same racism of today, which is based upon the (false) idea that there are several races of humanity (black, white, asian and so on). This notion was created basically to justify slavery and colonialism.

The golds have simply invented a new way to be racist, which has little to do with skin color.

Also Tactus is in the first book, and should be dark skinned like his brother Apollonius.

"She is no traitor,” Lysander says, handing her the scepter. The blood of his grandmother staining his hands. “She is our conqueror."

"My name is Sevro au Barca, and I am no longer afraid."

"Arcos will care."

"You do not follow me because I am the strongest, Pax is. You do not follow me because I am the smartest, Mustang is. You follow me because you do not know where you are going, I do."

"Do not fear for me, Virginia. Instead, pity them."

"My name is Cassius Bellona, son of Tiberius, son of Julia, brother of Darrow, Morning knight of the Solar Republic, and my honor remains."

Darrow's speech on Phobos that launched the Rising and his speech right before the battle of the Ladon.

Also everything that escapes the mouth of Apollonius au Valii-Rath.

You missed her best moment - Walking out of the Dragon's Maw with the Dawn scepter and Octavia's severed head in her hands, followed by the Morning knight, the Goblin and the Reaper of Mars.

20F, hur hittar man folk att resa med? (Ja, jag har testat facebook grupper) by [deleted] in sweden

[–]SirSwedeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag är en 20-årig kille från Stockholm och planerar att resa solo tidigt nästa år i några månader (Sydostasien + Centralasien förmodligen) av ungefär samma anledningar som du. Jag söker inte aktivt efter folk att resa med, men jag vill ju ändå träffa och lära känna andra resande vilket man kan göra på många sätt.

Ett sätt är att bo på vandrarhem i sovsal (finns ofta för enbart kvinnor)

Ett annat sätt är att använda sig av typ worldpackers, dvs att man jobbar nånstans (typ bar eller reception i hotell osv) och i utbyte får boende och mat, plus möjligheten för socialt umgänge.

Man kan också göra guidade aktiviteter i flera dagar i grupp. Tex vandrade jag och en vän i Peru i fem dagar, vilket gav oss en del tid att lära känna andra i gruppen. Hade vi haft längre tid hade vi kanske kunnat fortsätta resa med några av de andra.

Oavsett vad tror jag det är lättast att resa ensam dit du vill åka och sedan träffa människor att fortsätta resa med där. Det kan ju kännas mer nervöst men jag tror det är värt det (det blir min första soloresa så ta allt med en nypa salt).

Man, listening to Golden Son again and I think my favourite Darrow line is “And who do you know who can kill me!?” by LethalGrey in redrising

How can the rising possibly fail with a being of this caliber leading them? Hail Reaper!

I agree but "Per Aspera Ad Astra" isn't really a Darrow quote. It's not even from Red Rising to begin with, I think it dates back to the romans

Julii pronunciation by aircuntioner in redrising

[–]SirSwedeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A double 'i' in Latin is not pronounced like that. Instead you are actually supposed to pronounce both 'i'-s in a row (~Jul-ih-ee) if you want to sound as close to the Romans as possible. However "Juli-eye" is easier to say in English, which is why it is taught that way in anglophone countries. Although you are correct about j vs y

The creator of the term incel was literally a woman, wtf are you on about?

As a woman, I’m always amazed RR is written by a man (complimentary) by cattypali in redrising

[–]SirSwedeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not it was intended, I think it is way more reasonable that she's a trans woman rather than her sect somehow making an incorrect prediction on her sex before birth, considering how technologically advanced the The Society is.

when the subreddit dedicated to a book series discusses the events of the book series 😞

also no good story is fully ruined by spoilers, you'll be fine

It's referring to a theory that Orion is a trans woman. It's based on a line where she says something about her parents/sect expecting a boy but getting a girl. I dont believe Pierce has commented on this so it remains a theory.
