red queen book 1 is just “daughter-in-law goes head to head with the ultimate boy mum”

#not elara making her whole life about her son 😹😹😹 CRINGEEE ‼️‼️ #but yknow what elara is like. the only boy mum i will defend. probs bcuz she gets blamed for everything maven does #which is only a half-valid criticism!! 60% at most!! 😔 #elara merandus #mare barrow #red queen #maven calore #red queen series #war storm #glass sword #kings cage

something in my soul is touched when i reread the scene in war storm where maven goes to mare's stilts home and destroys it

it feels like he was in mourning, you know? because he had lost her. he lost her so so many times, but she was so close to him THIS time and she slipped right between his fingers like cupped water.

and it specifically feels like mourning because maven calore didn't feel love. all he ever felt was loss and the idea of love that was more leaned toward obsession. so instead of mourning in sadness and depression like he did with thomas, he mourned with rage and destruction with mare.

#ugh hes so analyzable #ren💌maven #I love him TOO bad. #honestly the contrast between his “love” for thomas and his “love” for mare are so comparable #theres so many things to analyze about maven #i always wonder how mavens kids would have turned out if he had remained king and made an heir w iris.. #what would they be like as parents #authors #booklr #books & libraries #bookworm #victoria aveyard #glasssword #kingscage #redqueen #maven calore #mare barrow #war storm

Was trying to think of the reason of the Love Triangle between the boys and Mare and I think I got something down lol.

— Kilorn is the representation of Mare’s life as a Red and of her past, being the reason why she’s so overprotective and constantly wanting to keep him safe. But also not wanting to pursue him romantically because her life as a Red was horrible, and because of how much hatred he harbors for Silvers and that of the unknown (back when he found out she’s a Newblood and didn’t react positively). Her rejecting Kilorn is a milestone for her, refusing to let her hatred and anger of Silvers and of her identity as a Newblood consume her.

— Maven represents War and the present, a person she is afraid of becoming because of the similar circumstances they were both brought into. They were used and turned into people neither of them wanted to be, making Mare afraid that she’s capable of becoming just as bad of a person. Because of war shes made to change, forced to do things she doesn’t like. She pursues him at the start because it’s easy to find comfort in war and anger, especially when it’s painted with rose tinted glasses. But through the series she shows distress in Maven, each time distancing herself from him. In a way, killing Maven signified letting go of the war. That it doesn’t define her.

— Lastly Cal, being Peace and the future. From the very start we see Cal as someone soothing, the person who hears Mare out and offers her the job position in Summerton. Mare is hesitant to seek him out romantically and at times loathes him, but he is also the only other person who understands her. Cal had constantly shown support and compassion to both Silvers, Reds, and Newbloods through the series (showing distaste when Mare kills Silvers, sneaking out at night into red villages to be a better king, etc.) He is a constant warming presence for her, even if she doesn’t seek it. Though Mare sometimes clashes with peace, as getting it is not easy by no means. In order to achieve peace sacrifices have to be made, and you have to let go of war. Seeking Peace in the midst of War can be hard, especially when you’ve faced so much tragedy. Coming to terms to it after war’s over is even harder. But in the end, Peace is what she needs the most to overcome the trauma and grief. It’s the one she stays with by choosing Cal.

#:3 … #my godd I feel sick #was trying to think of ways to apply their dynamics in the fanfic series since I’m switching between cal-maven-mare #but oh my god!!!!!!!!!!! #anyways #im so normal about them. #red queen #red queen victoria aveyard #cal calore #mare barrow #book series #maven calore #kilorn warren

IN THE END IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE MAVEN AND CAL. YOU GET IT RIGHT? IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE CAIN AND ABEL. MAVEN WAS NEVER GOING TO GET BACK AT CAL. CAL WAS NEVER GOING TO SAVE MAVEN.

MAVEN WOULD NEVER KILL CAL. CAL WOULD NEVER KILL MAVEN. THEIR HANDS ARE FREE OF THEIR BROTHER'S BLOOD FOREVER.

CAL TRIED TO SAVE HIM. BUT IT WOULD NEVER BE ENOUGH. MAVEN TRIED TO LOVE HIM. BUT IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH.

TRAPPED BY THE FUCKING NARRATIVE. THERE WAS NO WAY OUT! DON'T YOU GET IT?!?

IT WOULD NEVER BE ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

#mare being the middle man too... #she bridged the gap between two estranged brothers its only right she burnt it too. #LIKE FUCK #red queen #cal calore #maven calore #caps tw #victoria aveyard are you aware you have made me irreparably crazy insane about these two brothers. do you even know. #i can talk about cain and abel parallels all i fucking want but in the end. neither brother finishes the story in their roles. #abel (cal) still lives. cain (maven) dies. #im eating glass and sheet metal as we speak

[aerticent]

straight ships r only good if the man is utterly pathetic and worships the ground the woman walks on and that why Mare/Cal is so good

#iris/maven too but we won’t talk about that rn #red queen #red queen series #mare barrow #cal calore #marecal

red queen boxset spoilers warning (just in case)!!!

“I decided to keep Cal away from Maven in the end because Cal would have never given up on him”

BITING AND CLAWING AND WAILING ON THE GROUND

#[anguished wailing] #this has always been confirmed but something about seeing it written like that #i am in agony #i feel as if my heart has been torn from my chest #and crushed under unyleiding feet #victoria how could you do this to me #red queen spoilers #red queen series #cal calore #maven calore

[stellalanelovesyou]

Lost in the sauce (The sauce is Maven and Cal rebuilding their relationship in a modern AU)

#It's something about the estranged brothers pushed apart by abuse and tragedy and coming back to eachother #It's choosing your family. But choosing the person who has always been right there. #It's the shared trauma for me #This is all over a 2 second thought on the bus about Maven coming back into contact with Cal after dissapearing for like... 5 years #and Cal asks him to forgive their father and Maven tells him he cant. and probably wont ever but he can forgive Cal and Cal can forgive him #and then Cal is the best man at Mavens wedding with Thomas #red queen #Red queen series #victoria aveyard #maven calore #cal calore #thomaven #Its the childhood trauma for me #I may just write this bitch myself

If I had a nickel for every time I read a book with a prince named Tiberius who had a brother who was engaged to a girl who was in love with someone else and said brother ended up betraying the girl and holding her captive in some way I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

rating twerkability of red queen characters bcuz im unemployed:

mare: 2/10 she has some ass she just has no idea what she’s doing with it

cal: 6/10 he also has no idea what hes doing but his glutes are so phat that 6 is quite literally the lowest he can score

maven: this one is really difficult bcuz at first thought i thought he’s too skinny and a flop to shake ass but then i thought about it more and how he’s definitely bottomed out and so…. what? i guess a 7/10? maybe controversial but hes got to be better than cal at something and that’s definitely not being king

diana: deadass 1/10

kilorn: 9/10 he says he’s a natural but he actually practised

shade: 10/10 an actual natural

iris: 4/10 she just doesn’t want to learn how or even attempt but 4 points for potential

evangeline: 6/10 she’s good at everything except maybe this

elane: 9/10 twerk master

ptolemus: 8/10 he learned for his wife

cameron: 1/10 somebody help herrrr omg

wren: 7/10 she’s too polite with it someone get this woman a drink

thomas: 9/10 was the village whore walking around like that

I love how I get into a series, and IMMEDIATELY fall in love with the character that I know damn well is gonna die.

[drewtanakagf]

okay so if i may be ill for a second here. because the calore brothers will always bring it out in me. the fact that cal tried so hard for maven and maven like to talk big but when it came to actually killing cal he couldn't. bc cal loved him so much, and even if maven couldn't even love him back in the same way because elara literally twisted love in his mind.... maven still cared. It might not have been love but whatever it was it was enough for him to still care. and if that doesn't make you go insane about brotherly bonds then i don't fucking know what.

another thing too is that maven was literally cast aside, a shadow. tiberias vi was indifferent to him at best, julian openly hated him, elara wanted to carve him into a perfect heir to get one up on coriane EVEN AFTER she killed her with her own two hands.

cal one the other hand was brought up to be perfect and placed expectation on him by not only his father but the whole court who were watching him like hawks

NEITHER of them had their own agency. it's just that cal's actually gave him a chance to gain a more positive outlook and maven's only choice was to be cynical.

when maven did try, thomas was killed and he lost his ability to love. LIKE!!??!?! TO LOVE

and cal still tried his fucking hardest to love him, despite. and even if it wasn't enough to save maven in the end, it was enough to grant cal the mercy of not killing his brother with his own hands.

#I FEEL SO MENTALLY ILL ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME #ITS ABOUT CARE. ABOUT LOVE. ABOUT DISTRUST PERVADING EVERY INTERACTION BUT STILL KNOWING THAT THEY'LL BE THERE IF YOU NEED #ITS ABOUT BEING PAWNS. AND CLAWING YOUR WAY INTO YOUR OWN AGENCY ONLY TO LOOK BEHIND AND SEE YOUR BROTHER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHASM #someone PLEASE start being insane with me #maven calore #cal calore #red queen #ELARA WHEN I CATCH YOU ELARA?
