Incorrect Red Rising Quotes

Pebble: The next person who says ‘owo’ or 'uwu’ is under arrest for crimes against humanity.

Clown: Cwimes against huwumanity.

Pebble: I am going to break your fingers.

I went to the Q+A with Pierce Brown last night and he said the favorite thing about writing Mustang’s POV is that he got to write her perspective and feelings about Darrow which gives me so much hope for all the Darrow and Mustang content we need (and deserve) in book 6

[urdnotflexthejedibard]

I sense a disturbance in the Force.

WHO DID HE JUST KILL? This was Pierce's IG story a few minutes ago, and WHO THE FUCK DID HE JUST KILL OFF?!?!?!?!?!

[darrowsrising]

I can breathe easily that, at the very least, it can't be my Main 4 and their kids.

[pebbles628]

Me being unreasonably attached to Clown and Pebble…

[rosadelsol]

[pebbles628]

The most underrated trope in the entire RR series is Pebble lovingly smacking Clown upside the head

 “Pax said you were the smart one,” Thistle says. “Disappointing, Daxo. Disappointing.” “Well, in comparison, he probably—” Clown begins before Pebble smacks him upside the head. “Ow!” “Don’t talk shit about Pax,” Pebble snaps. “Big man was a sweetie.”- Golden Son, Chapter 44

“Well…” Clown says, about to light into me. Pebble thumps his shoulder. “Of course we’d stay, Reaper!” she says sweetly. “This our family…”- Morning Star, Chapter 9

And my personal favorite...

“Clown shifts uncomfortably between Milia and Thraxa. “If Winkle’s wrong and they spot us…” “Shut up,” Sevro mutters. “I’m just saying dying here at the bottom of the sea, caged by lung-crushing pressure, is not how I expected to go.” “How did you expect to go?” “Well, smothered under tits, actually.” “Thraxa, I can’t reach my husband. Hit him for me?” Pebble says.”- Iron Gold, Chapter 27

Incorrect Red Rising Quotes

Mustang: I dont have the energy for this.

Darrow: For what?

Mustang: *gestures vaguely*

[darrowsrising]

Yeah, Lysander did not deserve what Atalantia did to him, but Atlas? He deserves a taste of his own medicine AND a permanent stint in the darkest corners of Deepgrave! I said what I said.

And I would have said more, but even I cannot, in good conscience, elaborate on the details.

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh

[archosaur-automaton]

The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale. the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going. To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang. Appreciate them while they are still here.

[beabaseball]

I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…

They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.

There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.

That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.

The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.

[jumpingjacktrash]

see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?

those are over a billion years old.

that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?

algae.

those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.

so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

“life is old here, older than the trees. Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.”

[pebbles628]

Ok but the fact that we get ZERO information about Darrow and Virginia’s wedding in any of the books is a travesty and it is my dearest hope that we get a *crumb* of information about it in book 6 like I’m picturing Darrow having a flashback during brooding time and we can see everyone be happy for ONCE it would just be so nice

Incorrect Red Rising Quotes

[fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night]

[Darrow and Howlers rush in]

Darrow: Is everyone alright? Sevro, what are you-

Sevro: [holding a lit piece of paper under the fire alarm] Now that everyone’s here, who finished my chocolate milk?

[prokopetz]

Two of my favourite things about animal behaviour studies:

1. It’s a recognised phenomenon that if you’re working with some of the more intelligent critters, sometimes they’ll figure out what you’re testing for and start deliberately providing the “wrong” response to every single test.

2. The researcher who’s writing up the paper is not allowed to say “clearly the little bastards are just fucking with us”, because that would be inappropriately anthropomorphising the subjects, but you can 100% tell that they’re thinking it.

[pebbles628]

As someone who studies animal behavior yes to all of this and that’s why I love my field so much

[mixelation]

“we were lovers in a past life” trope but the current incarnations are enemy-to-lovers trope. when. 

[mixelation]

To be clear. I don’t want “our past love ended in betrayal and anger and now we hate each other.” I want “we died in love and in each other’s arms” but the current incarnations do NOT remember and they ARE trying their best to End the other one and these new sudden flashbacks to lovingly holding each other’s hands is EXTREMELY UPSETTING
