Marecal sketch

I do not draw them as often as my heart yearns to and it’s criminal

Cal’s outfit is based off what he ends up in near the end of the fic I’m writing currently, just to explain the seemingly random radiation warning symbol

Official 2025 Red Queen fandom "GRAMMYS" AWARDS

I have had this idea for a while and decided to put it into action and see if other fans are interested. Posters on tumblr for the RQ series fandom will be given awards for different things. These people dedicate much work to feed the fandom and I wanted to find a way to appreciate them. I have in mind art categories, humor, ships, and others. I will be open to suggestions, too! If I tag you that means I know you for posting Red Queen things, I don't usually post anything on my account so if you can, reblog and get the word out to other fans and people who follow you. It would help a lot! You don't have to but it would mean a lot and show support. For everyone who sees this I would love your help and votes if we decide to get this started. Nice to meet you everyone and thanks for reading my first post

WHY DIDN'T ELARA ERASE MARE FROM MAVEN'S MIND?

*SPOILERS ON RED QUEEN, GLASS SWORD, A BIT OF KING'S CAGE, WAR STORM, AND A BIT OF BROKEN THRONE* During the series, we saw that Elara had clearly no issues in getting inside her son's head and changing it as she saw fit. Mare was in a way a weakness, one so grand that it is cause of her that he let's Cal - his biggest 'rival' twords the crown - walk free only to get her as his prisoner ""willingly"" (I actually might make another take going further on this cause I have a lot of things to discuss around Mare's arrest, but this just ain't this post focus lol) . So knowing all of that, why would Elara willingly keep Mare in Maven's head instead of trying to take her out, like she did with Thomas, or simply trying to erase the feeling she brought him, like she did with Cal and Tiberias? I think the answer is Cal. You see, in WS we have our first Maven-POV chapter and in there Maven comments that Mare was the one who broke the bond he had with Cal, not Elara, he even says during the bathtub scene that Mare 'took his brother away from him,' and this is AFTER YEARS that Elara constantly tried to make Maven hate his brother. That and the fact that everytime Maven is thinking about Cal the only moments where he is really hating on him are the moments he thinks about how he stole Mare from him allegedly (just remembering that this is not my opinion per se, I'm just pointing out what MAVEN says on his chapter), you could argue that there are some scenes - such as that extra chapter in BT - where he is bad-commenting on Cal and Mare isn't in his head, but in that scene Maven is mostly just calling Cal stupid, there isn't really a hate there or in any other scene besides when he thinks of Cal kissing Mare. There is literally NO OTHER SPECIFIC SCENE or event in Maven's life that he mentions to justify his hate towards his brother, in fact, when Maven thinks abt Cal without immediately linking it to Mare, he even says that he is aware that Cal loves him and that he proved it over the years. What I think happened is that Mare was the first thing that really made Maven share a genuine hate towards his brother, and Elara recognized the power of this feeling, maybe even saw HERSELF in it. After all, when Coriane "stole Tiberias" from her, she did whatever it took to ensure she would get the crown. I believe Elara didn't like having Mare living rent free in her son's head, but that she saw is as an "necessary evil"/"A means to an end", that she thought that feeling he had twords Mare would fuel him to charge harder against his brother and do whatever it took to destroy him, just like she did with Coriane. I believe she was afraid to mess with Maven's memory of Mare or reduce the feeling cause it could backfire and make Maven come back to not hate his brother anymore, cause if he was hating on Cal because he was passionate over Mare and Cal stole her, why would he keep hating on Cal if he did not feel passion over Mare anymore? I believed she wanted to wait until Cal was dead, and then she could try and be inventive and try to erase her from his head. It just never occurred to her that she would die first.

best part of broken throne so far is evangeline being an unemployed bum. like yes omg dont be afraid to make your female characters kinda awful cuz nothing irritates me more than a rushed redemption. she never cared about reds or their revolution she only aided them out of self interest. she only realises the wrongness of the old world in relation to how it treated her, which still makes her prejudiced in some regard. yesss it takes a while to really educate yourself and its not an instant click yessss iron heart show em. evangeline’s still to used to comfort and being waited on and this is another part of her she needs to shed out of necessity but refuses to because she’s so used to thinking she needs power for security but also because shes used to being awful and believing in awful things.
