#300 fox way women

[cabeswaterdrowned]

Blue feeling ‘used’ by her family for her power and Gwenllian validating that feeling (which also has an implication imo of Glendower potentially using his daughters power to make himself and his magician friends more powerful) while Blue is at her angriest at her mother for leaving… I so wish this was followed through on in the next book and we got Blue and the 300 fox way women talking about this and her feeling her feelings there but… I guess other stuff was going on for everyone. And I understand that once she got Maura back (while grieving Persephone and pre emptively grieving Gansey) Blue was probably too happy about that to be mad (and also I think Gwenllian is spinning a valid grievance Blue has to be something that could turn her against her family, so I would have found it interesting if she partially succeeded a little more)

my heart is very happy every time i think about maura and calla and all the aunties coming over to the barns to have tarot nights with adam and ronan. something about parental relationships that are formed after childhood and based entirely in mutual love and respect. something about the fox way women offering guidance and support when all adam and ronan have ever wanted was someone to answer all their questions.

something about adam asking if he is a psychic and calla saying “of course, did you think you’d lost everything when cabeswater died?” and adam simply whispering “yes.”

the warmth of having something to ask and someone to answer.

Little detail I love in The Raven King:

The statues of the Yoruba orishas (goddesses) in the 300 Fox Way scrying sessions.

Calla's statue of Oya, who is considered the orisha of wind, lightning and storms, as well as being associated with change, transformation and destruction.

Maura's statue of Oshun, who is associated with love, fertility, water, purity and sensuality, and possesses the human qualities of spite, jealousy and vanity.

And Persephone's statue of Yemaya, orisha of motherhood and the sea. She's considered the great mother of all of us, representing Mother Earth, the life giver.

I don't know much further than this, and I might be wrong about a lot of it, no disrespect intended to the Yoruba religion.

But I really love how it sort of ties into the women of 300 Fox Way??? Like Oya being orisha of storms, and Calla being a storm contained inside a woman, and Oshun, the orisha of love and fertility, like Maura, who has found love and has a family of her own, and the shared trait with her and her daughter of vanity, jealousy and spite. And Yemaya, the motherhood orisha, and Persephone, who was not a mother, but she was a teacher, a carer. She took care of Adam, taught him to regain control over his own life, taking care of Blue and Maura and Calla.

Anyways :))

i love supernatural media where you don’t have to willfully suspend disbelief, where it’s a series of strange occurrences and coincidences, no way to be definitively proven, therefore no way to be definitively false.

Something I appreciate about the Raven Cycle is how the women of 300 fox way feel like they have had a life and don't merely exist for the plot.

[apppleioi]

we’re all just a bunch of people who are unsure of just how many women live at 300 fox way, aren’t we?

[faithless-hoaxx]

If Ronan had met Blue just a few months earlier he 100% would've "learned how to do palm readings" from the women of 300 Fox Way just for an excuse to touch Adam's hands and trace his veins

replied to a comment about this, but i want to share it as a post, too: god, i love the women of 300 fox way. they aren’t talked about enough.

here is a patchwork blanket of people who found each other, and built a home together; they are the people blue has grown up with and can always return to, no matter what. 300 fox way is family (both found, and by blood) in the truest sense—the very heart of this series—and not only that, but they are all women. women who are messy and beautiful and ugly and strange, who contrast and compliment each other, who are unapologetically themselves, to their best and worst. they raised blue into the girl she is, and it is this foundation, these bonds, this understanding that becomes increasingly important to blue as she leaves the nest, and adventures alongside the raven boys. two completely different worlds whose differences exemplify what makes each of them so valuable and vibrant, slowly blurring and blending into a pot of all the love blue holds for the people in her life, and the magic of the ley line running beneath their feet.

Objectively insane that Adam could ask Blue on a sort-of-date anywhere and he chooses to bring her magical questing in a helicopter with him and his two friends he has weird sexual tension with. If she was a normal girl Blue would be pissed this is the date she gets but she was raised by a household of polyamorous women so she’s just like ‘this is normal, this is like my house but with men so glad I get to go on a normal date’ lmao 😭.

literally ONE person asked for a follow up explanation so here it is

— ronan: is a whiny little baby (amy) but also, outwardly, has tough girl energy (jo)

— blue: basically the same as ronan although less of a whiny baby and a little more Tough Girl. has youngest sister energy to the max.

— calla: calla is a mature whiny baby. she doesn’t like being told what to do but generally just exudes tough Woman energy and deals with it.

— henry: on the beth to jo spectrum henry is more jo because of his theater kid energy. he is like the Most amy. he is a whiny baby, he needs everything to be about Him all the time. very much i feel uncomfortable when we are not about Me energy.

— matthew: literally is the youngest sibling and it Shows (whiny baby core) but also is like sunshine in human form (beth). he is the sweetest little person that just wants everyone to get along.

— gansey: again, is the youngest sibling. also has frequent whiny baby outbursts over sweaters. but he’s also a ringleader and the “glue” of the gangsey (beth).

— persephone: is amy mostly because of her frivolousness. she just likes shiny things who could blame her? she is the GLUE of the world.

— maura: Strong Woman Energy meets oldest sister caretaker.

— adam: also has the most oldest sister energy ever. he is holding it all together through will alone. he’s kinda split between Tough Girl and Nice Girl because he is just that unknowable.

— mr. gray: oldest sister holding it all together while enjoying the simple pleasures of life in his free time.

— noah: is beth. sweet. (both dead/die)

— declan: basically the same as adam. oldest sibling the most but Much more passively. more guilt trip than blunt force.

i present to you the march sisters x trc characters alignment chart (very important stuff):

Only just occurred to me that Persephone dies because she scryed too far, much like when Adam did and his breathing stopped, but she had no one to pull her back from looking for Maura.

I'm sad

[seafoamandtragedy]

I personally believe Sally Jackson and Marya Hendriks should move into 300 fox way, but that's just me..🫣

[legaltrashgoblin]

The wildest one that I think would AND wouldn't work is Colin Greenmantle/Mr Gray. Greenmantle would just be pure fuck and be a bitch about it later and Mr Gray would just be like "shut up who just had you on your back for an hour" and leave. Like they hate each other but because they fucked once in college every so often they just find each other and do it again, and they never speak about it BECAUSE they hate each other and they'd rather not have people think any different. Plus the blackmail because of that.

Another one I think would work (not so wildly) is Calla/Maura/Persephone, because three women living in the same house and raising an eccentric teenage girl/person/ant is the most sapphic thing to me. The soft nights drinking alcohol and doing readings for each other and just the overall dynamic of the house

whats the wildest pairing in trc/tdt that would actually work? or would not work at all and be complete disaster? pls let me know
