i love that red queen puts family as the chief unit of love even above true romantic love like that for some reason is SO overrated in ya media. i dont think of the characters within friendship or romantic groups first, i unconsciously catergorise them into their family.

cal loves mare but cal will put maven first always and he loves his dad and his image so much he’s willing to sacrifice his character and relationship with her to fulfil the expectations set by his family and its not until realising what his MOTHER wanted for him that he lets go. and mare loves cal but she will always put her siblings and parents first which is why everything started with gisa and shade’s loss and it ended with her sister and the loss of her brother too. maven loves mare but he loves elara more even if she twisted him and elara loves maven more than the entire kingdom and thats why she twisted him. and elara couldn’t enact her plan to make maven king without getting rid of his love for cal first!! when shade gets killed mare HAS to kill elara because that is the only way she can make sure her pain is even with at least one person.

cameron does everything for her brother’s safety, she was willing to abandon her morals and dehumanise anyone standing in her way if thats what needed to happen. and after morrey was safe she quit— nothing was worth losing herself over except him. farley and shade’s love was so pure that it brought life and family to the farleys who were already broken with the grief of being halved. their love brought a daughter named after the death of the woman that destroyed the family, and it was so healing.

and that is what KILLS me about the samos family!!! that compared to all this unconditional loyalty— the samos family is a continuous act of playing at love and loyalty, when in reality volos and larentia could not care less about their children because they dont know how to. silver society never showcases this love and so then you have so many parents fucking up their kid in so many ways but doing it out of love because thats how they see it— all except volo and larentia.

so the samos family is an exception. i cant think of evangeline without thinking of elane and ptolemus and i cant think of ptolemus without thinking of evangeline and wren. thats their family. and at least evangeline and ptolemus experienced real love with each other, even if they were never taught it (evangeline’s fear over shade’s death was proof that she could imagine a world without him and it was one of the few times she was genuinely scared in the series).

#even the cygnets- for as minor as they were- showed themselves as a unit. iris mourning her father and raging at his loss.her being homesick #mare is one of the few ya protags to have both parents be living in the series and im so grateful for it #family as an explored concept and theme is such a weak spot for me and i genuinely believe thats why i- #-hyperfixated so much on the series #red queen #red queen series #war storm #glass sword #kings cage #maven calore #mare barrow #elane haven #ptolemus samos #evangeline samos #cameron cole #morrey cole #diana farley #clara farley #clara farley-barrow #shade barrow #willis farley #gisa barrow #elara merandus #tiberias calore vii #cal calore #tiberias calore vi #coriane jacos #larentia viper #volo samos #rewriting

Evangeline: maven stop making your sexuality your entire personality. no one cares that you have a dead ex boyfriend so shut up about it

Maven: literally all you do is go on about how pretty Elane is you have no room to speak

Evangeline: that's different

maven 🤝 eve

being queer and morally grey characters that carry the entire story

[ Feel free to ignore this if you don’t want all the artwork in the books spoiled, I totally get that lmao ]

OKAY via LitJoy’s site I got the rest of the art pages within the books since they’ve decided to show them all :]

Alright so we got: The Betrayal™️, Elane and Evangeline, Cal vs. Iris, dinner with Carmadon, Shade’s death, THE CHOKING SCENE‼️, Mare and Cameron, and lastly Cal and Anabel (boooo)

I really love the artwork in these I think they look so damn good and I just can’t wait to have them

And yeah some stuff isn’t how I imagined it but like whatever I still think these look fucking amazing and I love seeing these characters coming to life like this!!

I really like the one with Mare and Cameron I think it looks so prettyyyy omg

rq incorrect quotes 👍

Mare: How do tall people possibly sleep at night when the blanket can't possibly cover you? 

Cal: Mare, it's four o'clock in the morning. 

Mare: So, you can't sleep, huh? Is it because of the blanket?

***

Cal: If you got arrested what would be the charges? 

Mare: Theft. 

Farley: Disturbing the peace. 

Cameron: Aggravated assault. 

Shade: Arson. 

Maven: All of the above. In that order, probably.

***

Mare : Maven has no survival skills, his need to win has replaced them. 

Evangeline : That can't be true.

Mare : Watch this. 

Mare : Hey Maven, race you to the bottom of the stairs! 

Maven: *Throws himself out a window*

***

Kilorn : I can be your partner for the next race.

Mare : Sorry, Kilorn. It's a sibling race.

Gisa : Maybe there's a contest for lonely children after this.

Mare : It's only children, Gisa. A lonely child is what you're gonna be when I sell you!

PLEASE GUYS TELL ME I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT MARE AND EVANGELINE HAD SOME DEEP INTENSE YURI MOMENTS .

there were so many moments in which one of them needed someone and would think of the other.

i remember mainly evangeline often thinking of mare and wishing she were around to spar with her.

war storm was literally just evangeline and mare heart eye moments idc

this always gets me ngl cos why.....like.....YK WHAT I MEAN?? like mare is looking at evangeline and she's like "what is this feeling..." girl. 🏳️‍🌈.

SHE CARREESSSS.

rq flash fic friday

Setup: sequel to this

Maven leaves me standing in the hall, snapping his fingers to the guards. I heave, falling to my knees. After everything he's done, I still find myself betrayed. After everything he's done, I still find myself reeling.

Will you tell them? I want to ask. Will you admit you sunk as low as to fuck me?

I'd get no answer, even if he were here. My guards march me back to my room, silent, sneering as I struggle against them. "You don't want this. You don't want the crown sullied with a Red bastard, a Red disgrace, a Newblood to supplant the next Silver heir?"

Clover yanks my arm, twisting it, forcing me to cry out as we finally approach my room. They throw me on the floor, a cold stab of pain. My hand clutches my stomach. Maybe I'll miscarry. Maybe I'll be saved from this hell of my own making.

Not for the first time, I curse my foolishness, the girl who thought an angel had swept her off her feet. But there are no angels in this world.

My stomach turns. I'm too young for this, as is Maven, both of us barely eighteen. He'll change his mind. He doesn't want to be a father.

But before he can, another storms into my chambers, the clink of metal and whisper of might. Evangeline stares me in the eye.

And in her hands is a small, precious pill.

“What are you meant for, if not to rule?”

Evangeline was born to serve the kingdom as a future queen against her own hearts desire. Her parents were invested in designing the perfect “servant” than allowing any chance of creating her own path. Evangeline fell in love with Elane, creates a new plan so they’d never be apart, but it all backfired when Mare is chosen in the Queenstrial.

I really understand now her feelings towards Mare. Towards Maven. Cal. I fucking LOVE HER
