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

I no nobody will ever understand what the red queen series means to me , I started it straight and ended it very Bi . It was the first book series that I ever read properly and it launched me into this great community that made me feel comfortable being me . I found myself In Evangeline, Maven , Farley and Cal. They were my friends when I didn’t have many .

I don’t know if anyone will ever understand or if anyone’s ever felt this way about a series before but I feel like it needs to be said that I love the red queen series .

Watch this get like 2 notes now that I’ve just poured my heart and soul out .

mare: ok so he's a 7 but he has major fucking mommy issues and cries over his ex boyfriend in his bathtub 3 times a week and is a total little bitch and is so dramatic about everything

maven: ok well she's a 9 but has major trust issues and once cheated on her fiance with his older and less good looking brother and is a total pick me girl even though half the country hates her guts and did I mention she's a wanted enemy of state

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!!

worst decision aveyard has ever made ever was make maven a man because can you even CONCEIVE how legit fem!maven would be can you even conceive it can you even conceptualise toxic yuri mareven omg omg you guys would never hear from me again

#imagine how that would change the dynamic maven had with EVERYONE. like keep everything the same except change mavens gender oh my godddd #cal the worshipped eldest son and maven the neglected wasted daughter #the only one who believes in her is her mother and her brother’s fiance who’s in love with her brother but maven is in love with her #toxic yuri mareven would go so crazy. feel like walter white cooking up meth just from thinking of this 💀 #and toxic merandus mommy-daughter dynamic. 7029383030 injured no survivors #maven calore #red queen #mareven #red queen series #war storm #glass sword #kings cage #mare barrow #elara merandus #tiberias vii calore #rewriting

posting this mareven art i made a while ago based on this vampire!au i read on ao3 (To Drink a Poisoned Cup - beforeilearnedcivility), i should draw them more! [ID: Two paintings of Maven Calore and Mare Barrow from the Red Queen Series. In the first one, Maven is on the lest, wearing a black shirt with a red vest and black ascot with a gem fastened at the neck. Mare is wearing a black dress, grey cross necklace with a red gem at the intersection, and holding a dagger. The second painting is the same, but both of their mouths are open to reveal fangs. Maven has blood dripping from his mouth. /end ID] ty drewtanakagf!

thinking about the Devastating emotional damage that would come from being constantly told how much you look like your father, how much you take after him and looking into the mirroring and seeing nothing but his jawline and cheeks, the broadness of his shoulders, the forming shadows of his facial hair beginning to come in, the way his bronze eyes sit in your face. and at first you look upon these features with pride and they make you straighten your back and shoulders, raising your chin slightly to look as much of king as he is "but I will be kinder" you say, "I will lead with a gentle and generous hand" and you would have, in the only way you knew how, but it would not have been what was needed, it would not have been the kindness it was meant to be. then,,, then you had your mind taken from you, your limbs and body no longer your own but to your minds eye, and the memories that ingrained themselves in your head afterwards, there was no difference; and so as your hand gripped the sword and your arm raised above your head, your feet steadying themselves against the ground, the world slowed to a tormenting pace,, and then your arm arched down, the writhing shadow in your mind forcing you to use all the strength you have, to cut clean through the neck of your father. And the eyes, the nose, the jaw and the cheeks you saw repeated in every interaction and every reflection rolled past your feet, severed from the shoulders and height you had grown so easily into. What was it like afterwards? When you met his eyes in broken glass or rippling water. Did it feel like looking at a corpse? Did it feel like you were back in the throne room, severing his head again every time you caught a glimpse of your own reflection, every time you saw his haunted, grief ridden eyes looking back at you instead? Is that why you blamed yourself so heavily for what happened to your brother? Because you bare your fathers face and shoulders and body and He failed him? I don't blame you. How could you not feel his failures as yours every time you looked into a mirror or still puddle and saw his face, his bronze eyes and black hair crowding the surface. And so you bore not only your own sins but his as wells, because truly they are interchangeable by this point. "You are your father's son" They said, pride, sadness, bitterness, anger, and resignation brimming the sentence, disregarding completely how you glanced side long at his reflection in the window, desperately aching to see your own face looking back at you, for once.
