if only the authors got over themselves and let the characters be queer in peace ... or violence. whatever they're into.

[shadowqueenjude]

Doomed to fall for sarcastic side characters with daddy issues.

[kracenstar]

Controversial take here but: the horrible and horrific things Maven had done wouldn’t have been overlooked or forgiven by the fandom if Maven wasn’t attractive.

[ball-of-butter]

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

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.

actually obsessed with how mare and kilorn weren't really supposed to be together. Like they care for each other but instead of mare having to choose between her childhood friend and the prince she has to choose between the the more insane and teeth-gnashing option of two prince brothers. idk I liked that little subversion from the ya dystopian genre.

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!

Rq flash fic Fridays

Prequel to this.

I stare at my stomach, at what Sara healer's hands had revealed a few days ago. At what burns me from the inside out, even as I huddle beneath my thin blankets.

Soft footsteps approach my cot, Kilorn peering at me between the blankets. "What's wrong?"

"Go away."

He bites his lip, reaching to cup my cheek. "Please don't hide from me."

I curl further into the blankets, long breaths that waver for far too long. "I'm pregnant."

He sours. "Can you please be serious?"

"Ask Sara. She found out when I did."

Kilorn stills. "You're--"

"Not lying." I throw the blankets off, teeth gnashing as I comb through my memories again.

His face falls. "It's Cal's, isn't it?"

"Worse." My head is heavy. "Maven's."

His eyes go wide, a whisper in the dark. "When."

“The boat.”  I swallow.  “I–He was so kind.  So sweet.  I didn’t think anything of it, I just–”  My eyes squeeze shut.  “Why him?”

“We don’t choose who we love.  I wish, more than anything, that we could.”

We sit there in silence, until he finally leaves. I know he won't tell, no matter how deeply he should. A silent code between best friends, unbroken even now.

Remember when Kilorn was a little 🤏 mean to Cal during Glass Sword?

Sneering when Cal walked past him and snickering when Cal swam across the river, paddling like a big black dog. All because he is a Silver Elite and giving Mare heart eyes

Image, just imagine the roast Maven would have received from Kilorn. Especially Maven is a bit shorter than him and nowhere near as bulky as Cal. Maven would move him up his HIT LIST 1. River Boy 1. Perfect Brother 2.Mare Barrow 3. Evangeline Samos

*spoilers about war storm*

I'm emotionally disturbed about Cal running to Maven first, after they find Mare and him covered in each other's blood. I get it, he is your brother and you have a really soft spot for him.. but I don't know.. I probably try to reach both of them at the same time because Mare is a very important person for Cal too.. (Like you decide trying to save her after your very first encounter/when you first met with each other and she really opened her emotions and fear to you.. it has to have a meaning.. right?)

checking your brother is fine, it's natural, but when he sees Mare is still breathing he was like.. okay she will recover.. anyway, let's get Maven's body out of here before someone else sees (bcs when Kilorn runs up to Mare, Maven's body was not there as he mentioned, so doesn't that mean Cal decide to leave Mare there -and yes maybe she was breathing but still lost a lot of blood and in a deadly situation- and take his brother's body to somewhere else)

I don't know.. maybe he was the one who call Kilorn to help but still he goes m.i.a throughout the scene..

[annamatix]

when maven turned evil i turned to kilorn for hope because he's lowkey so fine so i was hoping she'd choose him but of COURSE she had to go for cal 😒

[ball-of-butter]

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.
