Sometimes I think we don't get enough mileage out of the Lan Zhan's Internalized Homophobia tag. (this is your tw)
I need him to be a low key serial monogamist, never more than three dates, has been tacitly engaged to Wen Qing for years, and everyone knows he disapproves of Wei Ying's everything.

Give this one a go then. It's a great story, modern cultivation. T-rating, so no second-hand embarrassment. Good for a drive. But, for sure, not everyone finds they can process stories in audio format. I grew up on cassette audio books.

Clearly they never had to reconcile their souls to Shen Ching Chew.

Please, my weirdos, stay in one place. It's like herding queer cats!

Some people enjoy audiobooks while they are commuting or doing chores or going to sleep. Admittedly maybe a bit different when it's also going to be smutty. But it makes the washing up more fun! I've got plenty of less smutty, shorter podfic if you want to dip a toe.

*whispers* Vere is not a real place 😂

I would probably go for the full, faux French 'law-rawnt', because it vibes with my idea of Vere. But I wouldn't fight anyone over it.

My Capri fandom was on LJ. All this fandom migration is exhausting.

Really? I haven't been around the fandom since c.2014 so I'm not up on the discouse. Coming from the wild west of C-drama name pronunciation this is a little funny. 😂

Tumblr dash came through with a fan-read-through, if anyone is interested. #captiveprince #lamen #CaPri

Actually, having listened through I've come around to the official audiobook. He definitely starts off dialing it in, but over time he realises that its actually a great story and properly gets into it. 😁

Tumblr linked me to a fan reading too: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Now that I've persevered with the official audio book a bit more, I'm coming around to it. My theory is that Bel Davies started out dialing it in and then realised that this book was actually good and got into it 😄

Oh yes! Young Bjorn Andresen is so perfect! I'll definitely use him as a photo reference.

If we are talking about fan casting, I don't honestly know many actually young actors. Maybe Dane DeHaan and Aditya Roy Kapur if we travelled back in time 😂

Raitala @raitalarai.bsky.social · 6d

I don't know that that's a priority for me (being similarly too old). The pov character is young, but much of the narration has a wider perspective that I think can be read by an older man looking back, maybe?

Raitala @raitalarai.bsky.social · 6d

Hmm, tricky. I think maybe Richard Armitage? He can do the hot headedness of Damen's pov, which is key, but also give good sneer 😄

Raitala @raitalarai.bsky.social · 6d

Well, I have to thank @ladyshadowdrake.bsky.social for writing that crossover and reminding me of it. I'm very happy to have this little CaPri renaissance 😊

Raitala @raitalarai.bsky.social · 6d

Soooo much fun with all the waspishness of the Veretians 😂

The official audio book is not awful. It just doesn't sound like the artist is really enjoying it. There's the sense of someone doing a good, clean read in one take because he doesn't want to be late for his squash game later.

Raitala @raitalarai.bsky.social · 7d

Oh, thanks! I haven't used feeds on 🦋 before, but I'm definitely all up in my #capri feels at the moment. I'll probably do some fanart at least 😊 Good to know there is still some folks around.

I'm re-reading and rediscovering my deep love for #laurentofvere : a tender heart, wrapped inside an enigma, wrapped inside a colossal bitch! *happy sigh* 💕

In case there is anyone on my dash who's still in #captiveprince fandom, just wondering, is there a fan read-through/ fan-made audiobook of Capri out there?

The voice artist of the official audiobook does not float my boat.
