Gisa might be a Lady, but she will square up at anyone who hurts her Big Sister

red queen characters and their fav video games:

mare: grand theft auto 💀🙏 any gta game she can get her hands on but it started with the chinatown wars on ds

cal: missed out on a proper childhood so is treating his inner child to fnaf for the first time and idk… something something about the story being an overarching narrative about a brother trying to pick up the remnants of his family through his grief… he says he doesnt get the lore butbhe kinda does. also had a goat simulator phase for the same reasons but minus the angst

maven: i would like to say some really cool psychological game but this mf would probs love playing chess against a cpu the most 💀 silent hill takes second place though (he’s obsessed with the idea of a purgatory of one’s own making… hmm… i wonder why 🤔)

evangeline: mario cart (she eats anyone who even THINKS of playing as peach)

elane: some sort of dating sim methinks… maybe like those ikemen games (let her be y/n)

ptolemus: fortnite for the dances.

kilorn: also fortnite but he has one-sided beef with ptolemus on there who keeps trying to add him. he also has the toph skin and keeps wiping the floor with his ass (ptolemus has the miles morales skin)

cameron: the attack on titan vr game where the world’s best comedy is originated from

gisa: what remains of edith finch. cursed family narrative goes hard with these folk.

shade: hes a legend of zelda girlie.

diana: she genuinely doesn’t play any game besides minecraft because she gets forced it by other people. but i know she’d love red dead i just don’t think she could be convinced into playing it (tragic)

iris: virgo versus the zodiac would speak to her, i feel. she has a secret weird side that only indie games could tease out of her.

wren: star stable!!! secret horse girl lore.

thomas: resident evil 4 because depending what you headcanon him as hes either feening for leon or ada or both.

coriane: definition of stardew valley girlie. but considering what she went through maybe yume nikki would be a game she keeps close to her heart (someone check up on her).

elara: if the sims 4 existed in the red queen verse it could have saved a lot of lives. maybe even her own.

sara: she wipes everyone in super smash bros you best believe it.

julian: castlevania: symphony of the night… mm the grip it has on this nerd loser… do not even breathe the name alucard around him he will give you the entire dracula lore starting with le fanu’s carmilla.

dane: detroit become human. played markus’ storyline and bro suddenly was made to govern a democratic republic for the people by the people.

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!

Barrow Family: Game Nights

- The Barrows come to Cal and Mares house every so often for game nights

- Gisa gets so freaking competitive

- You will never see so much gaslighting with Mare trying to convince everyone to not go against her...

- Daniel is an expert at strategy but always tells Ruth how to win before he can

- Bree is always the first to point out if someone has Uno and always taking peeks at peoples cards

- Tramy has almost never won a game but we love him anyways and he enjoys playing

- In the times that Shade would come to get away from the guard he would always be congratulating those who didn't win on their efforts

I started reading 'The Red Queen' and I can't help but think this book is much like The Hunger Games and Divergent.

Also, Gisa is so similar to Prim!!! They're both very lady-like and play great roles as younger sisters of the main character

how well the red queen ships would fare in a long distance relationship:

marecal: absolutely terrible. mare gets insecure but doesn’t know how to communicate her fears of losing him and cal can never pick up on why she’s pissed off at him all the time. kilorn has to block them both for his mental happiness because mare keeps sending him edgy text messages and cal keeps ringing him up stressed out of his mind. when one flies down to see the other they are inseparable but arguing all the time and the goodbyes are always painfully drawn out and they’re both crying for the next three hours over it.

evane: evangeline will get a little jealous when she hears about a new friend of elane’s and elane will get FOMO when she hear about thing evangeline is doing without her but they communicate effectively and would spend a lot of dough visiting each other as much as they can even if its mot so reasonable. i think this is the couple that will be the least likely to ever do long distance because they literally cant be separated it would have to take a miracle.

sharley: they are pretty okay. they miss each other heaps and when they facetime it hits how far the other is and diana will stay up late at night sweating about not being around shade for too long but other than that they don’t get very jealous of people around them and are secure in their love.

kilorn x cameron: stable as hell. kilorn gets occasionally sad but both are so busy with their lives they can go two weeks without a text and then remember ‘oh shit havent called my gf/bf’ in a while and when they do its no big deal. kilorn texts cameron an ‘i miss you’ text and gets his response 8 hours later and its chill. and then they meet up and hang like they saw each other last tuesday. they dont want to be apart but they know its not gonna last forever.

thomaven: maven is absolutely terrible at it. thomas will go away and 72 hours later maven will show up at his front door with no warning.

gisa x shopgirl: probably the most stable. there could be sabotage ploy after sabotage ploy on this ship and they would still make it out the other end without breaking a sweat.

Just got such a strong urge to see Gisa teaching Maven how to sew because I feel like he’d like it/be pretty good at it

SO many thoughts about Red Queen series after finishing War Storm recently. In the stage of hyperfixation where I cannot breathe properly if I think about it too hard (at all)
