THROWBACK: When The Calore Brothers' IQ Momentarily Drop in Some Scenes:

The Red Queen Fandom:

[sixofhoez]

No one understands how much I love Mare for not hiding her M scar. Instead, displaying it proudly to not only show that she survived, but to really paint the picture of how much of a Monster Maven was.

She so brave

and some tiberias vii calore fanart too cause why not

maven’s live reaction right after witnessing cal and mare’s dance scene

[lilyharvord]

It’s all: “you could have been my red queen” this and “thief/obviously” that, but WHEN are we going to talk about: “I thought of you in the end, I saw your face in the water.”????? HMMM?! When? When are we going to talk about this?

*Cal's inner monologue after Mare leaves him at the end of War Storm*

[planetmaven]

i'm not much of a marecal geek but they're growing on me a little...

especially when i think about how angry and frustrated they were with eachother at the end of Glass Sword, but the moment Mare is taken captive by Maven, they BOTH can only think about how much they miss eachother

and when the Scarlet Guard finally saves Mare, she goes running to find Cal :(

it's just so heartbreaking and so touching because they missed eachother so much to the point where they could no longer be upset anymore. all they wanted was to have each other again, despite what went down before

Can we get more fanfic content on Mare and Cal having kids? I wasn't satisfied with Broken Throne mentioning in passing that they had 2 kids. And the fact that they were named after Shade Barrow and Coriane Jacos?!?! Ughh, I'm crying..

[maveys-baby]

I have a head canon that Mare and Cal have a ton of pets in the future- they've both always wanted pets but Mares main dream was a cat but Cal was allergic so they get teased about that. She has a raccoon though.

Dog (Roz - also an emotional support dog)

Raccoon (Brio - Mare was in the woods one day doing scouting and it just started following her, Cal thinks it's perfect since he always referred to her as a raccoon with her kleptomaniac self- he and Brio have beef though)

Two chinchillas (Dawn and Hesper - Cal always wanted chinchillas growing up because they were one of Julians favorite animals and his love for them carried down to him)

A skunk (Really this isn't an actual pet but it shows up in their backyard and they made friends with it. They call him Badger because Cal thought it was a badger looking at it from a distance at first)

A black cat that doesn't stay at the house but roams around the area of their workplace and Mare always says hi to it (People everywhere call her Sunset - I got the name from a head canon I saw once)

Thoughts? Sorry for all the reading

You are a visionary because a raccoon makes SO MUCH SENSE for Mare omg.

This actually makes a lot of sense because Mare strikes me as a black cat person whereas Cal has golden retriever/puppy energy. I love how you named all of them, that's so cute🥹 Plus Cal mistaking the skunk for a badger is so spot on for his character lmao he totally would. Chinchillas are also right up their alley. I feel like Mare would totally be down for more "exotic" pets like snakes or sugar gliders.

Idk why but now that I'm thinking about it, I could also see them getting a few chicken for the eggs, but Cal is afraid of birds so Mare has to handle them.

The red queen series is basically just characters who have mommy and daddy issues half of them are queer with magical powers whilst the other half is heterosexual that still have mommy and daddy issues and there only way to cope is by causing mass genocide. And I’m always living for it.

[lucy-the-cat]

Hello, I have just finished the red queen series and I am in love, I looove you and I'm looking for people to follow here that post about that. Do you have any recommandations? Thank youu have a great day!

First place you should go is def the @nortaeventcouncil, they run fandom events (check out the admin @drewtanakagf too, she doesn't post exclusively RQ but she does post for it). @ball-of-butter frequently has great posts, as does @planetmaven. For good art you can go to @mavenne and @snakerdoodlle. Oh, and also @vamxxpire! @lilyharvord used to post a lot and still does very occasionally, as does @king-maven-calore. Both are also fic writers.

Someone who doesn't post a lot on here and kinda retired with fic writing is @nymphenberger/TwistedNym on Ao3. She used to be THE Thomaven creator, now she primarily writes OCs and side characters. Oh, and there's @imperatrice21 who does mostly book 1 mareven stuff

Basically:

@nortaeventcouncil: Everything

@drewtanakagf: she rotates, often Maven, sometimes Mareven, sometimes Maven and Cal

@ball-of-butter: lots of general stuff, but also a lot of Mareven, especially from the angle of making fun of Maven

@planetmaven: mostly Maven, sometimes Mareven

@mavenne: pure art, often Mareven but has drawn other rq content

@snakerdoodlle: mostly mareven (interspersed with a lot of other fandoms)

@vamxxpire: Art of our main trio, mostly Marecal, sometimes Mareven, has a big project in the works and a few oneshots posted

@lilyharvord: Marecal bitch (affectionate), also general RQ stuff (but mostly Marecal). Very occasional fic writer with big back catalogue

@king-maven-calore: mostly Marecal, occasionally Mareven, very good fic writer

@nymphenberger: fic writer, mostly OC creator, THE original Thomaven creator

@imperatrice21: fic writer, book 1 mareven stan

OH I almost forgot bc she doesn't have a tumblr BUT GO READ MUNDANETALKS ON AO3. She does primarily OC and side character content but she's an AMAZING writer, and also artist? She does these great doodles of all the characters in modern AU settings and her designs are SO GOOD you gotta see them

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

Can we all agree that the Red Queen did the Brotherly Love-Triangle trope WAY better than the Inheritance Games

[maryxherie]

hi im just here to ask a simple question, is the red queen fandom still alive? cause i need to yap about everything thats happening, and i need content, im craving it

[ball-of-butter]

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.
