“Beneath the scars, Farley’s still young, just another child of war and ruin. She’s seen worse than me, done more than I ever have. Sacrificed and suffered more. Her mother, her sister, my brother and his love. Whoever she dreamed of being when she was a little girl. All gone. If she can keep pushing forward, still believing in what we’re doing, so can I. “

1, 7, 9, 21 (not from the US ask) :-)

Thanks! You’ve chosen some of my favourite questions ;-)

1. Favourite place in your country?My home lol. Or my favourite outdoor pool with the nice porch and wisterias. The combinated smell of the pool, the flowers and the food stall with a view on the glittering water and deep-green trees is the pinnacle of summer for me.

7. Three words from your native language that you like the most?Sünde (sin). It doesn’t sound like something taboo or forbidden, it sounds like something fun, something you’d like and enjoy to do. Which is probalby the point but since I’m not religious, I can see the term from a little more detached POV.Bunt (colourful). Short and easy and I’m upset there isn’t an English equivalent.Sehnsucht (yearning). Combinating the emotion of yearning with the term for addiction has an astoundingly beautiful but melancholic effect that captures the feeling perfectly.

9. Which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?Austria or France.

21. If you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be?Things? Let’s talk about horrible people which would be Alexander Gauland and Bernd Höcke who can’t get smothered by the vacuum between the stars soon enough.

The “tooth fairy” fanfic is amazing! Well, honestly, YOU are amazing! ;) Now I wonder what made America and Maxon decide to have Lief and Rosie... Will you be writing that, too? ;)

So this prompt has been in my box since August, and I’ve finally written you the whole story 😁😘

[evangelineartemiasamos]

Fade, obviously. (Send me a Ship and I’ll Break Them DOWN) I’m not sure if you’ve done this before.

As if I wouldn’t have tagged you in that case^^

I’ve been waiting to do this and it’s like writing down a heap of mini Fade fan fictions and that’s shipper spirit ;-) It’ll get long!

PS: Took me hours to write this when I had planned to write Blood Curse chapter 3, an answer to your post and a review. But whatever, the things I do for Fade ¯\_(ツ)_/¯    

How did they they meet?

“You better not get me killed” - look at canon in Steel Scars.

Who developed romantic feelings first?

Shade (he stopped denying sooner than her)

Who is their biggest “shipper?”

I am. And you too @clarafarleybarrow

When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances?

When Farley goes to find him at the end of Steel Scars and they crouch down together because they’re shocked about what happened to Mare at Queenstrial. They start to hold hands while Shade leans against her. They talk about what to do now and fall silent after a while yet the silence doesn’t feel awkward, not even in the turmoils of Rocasta. Finally, Farley turns to him and starts to speak. “We should,” she says, then stops herself. She doesn’t know what to say, actually, and she doesn’t know why. Looking at him is enough, especially with the way he returns her gaze. She stops thinking when she closes the last distance between him, reaching with her hand to his neck to pull him to her and kiss him. She draws her head back, after a not so short moment, but maintains her position otherwise. Shade blinks at her and she sees the smile in his eyes just before they start kissing again.

Who confessed their feelings first?

I think a lot happened more non-verbal or in indirect phrases. Like when Shade asks for her name and replies “I’m with you, Diana” when he pledges to the Guard.

As in who says “I love you” first, it’s Farley. It’s an accident, I’ve alluded to it here: https://chaoslaborantin.tumblr.com/post/158758240798/red-queen-fan-fiction-in-the-meantime

She has morning sickness and he goes after her, holding her hair away. After some time, she gets up and washes her face, staying a little out of his way, but he hugs her anyways, brushes her cheek, and kisses her. She gasps. “Are you okay?” he murmurs and then she says it. “That’s why I love you.”

Both blush cherry-red immediately. “I love you too,” Shade answers and stumbles over the words. She smirks.

What was their first official date?

Shade: “The time when I took her to Corvium and used my ability to bring her there. Firstly,  I made her vomit, and then she stripped down in front of me. And I loved the way she gave me this pointed glances while we royally screwed up those Silvers. It was a glorious day.”

How do they feel about double dates/group dates?

It’s a no. Secrecy is their aesthetic.

What do they do in their down time?

Does that mean hobbies and spare time? Shade tells Farley to lean back a little and finally put the work away. She doesn’t, but always finds something to lowkey complain about. Shade asks her to relax and she replies he should help her a bit more. He nods and starts to massage her shoulders. Another time, she lays down on a bed/couch and groans. Shade asks what’s wrong but she only grumbles something. He comes over, puts her feet on his lap and massages those. He asks again what she’s worrying about and she starts to talk.

What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?

Look also at https://chaoslaborantin.tumblr.com/post/154931582748/rq-secret-santa-claudia

The Barrows: Farley and Shade go to them in the beginning of Glass Sword to tell them that Mare has been captured by the colonel. They tell the family not to worry, they have a plan to get her away. Shade implies they might be gone for a while but they need to do it. “I can rely 100 % on Captain Farley”, he adds and throws a glance at her. She smirks at that and notices him taking her hand. She squeezes it. All the Barrows more or less get that there’s something going on between them and Tramy is about to ask something like that, but is interrupted by Gisa who hugs Shade, and Farley as well, to her surprise. “I believe in you,” Gisa says, and gives away one of her old embroidered scarves. Yet the family remains afraid. As they leave, Daniel rolls after them and tucks Farley’s sleeve. “You will take care him, Captain?” he asks. She nods, and Daniel adds “I fear he’s bad at doing it himself.”

The Colonel: I think they never meet each other with Fade as an official couple. I guess what happened it this:

Farley: “Colonel, this is Shade Barrow who has relayed very important intelligence to us. He is an invaluable asset, yet we have to protect our best spies, as you know very well. The reason for extracting him is …. this (makes a gesture for him to show off teleportation and Shade does). Impressive isn’t it? (grins)

Colonel: … The fuck … ?

Farley: Deal with it. (leaves)

What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?

When Farley thought he was a Silver? Yep, I would say so, please re-read Steel Scars ;-) (I haven’t dared to yet, btw, since KC)

Which one is more easily made jealous?

Equally. The funny thing is that they never admit their jealousy to each other, but the other notices it nevertheless and they still manage to tease each other about it.

What is their favourite thing to get to eat?

Farley likes junkfood, I think that’s mentioned in KC? Shade is more into fish and homecooking (though he isn’t that good at it), while Farley is okay with eating in the mess hall. Shade mocks her about her simple taste every now and then and tries to keep Clara away from junkfood.

Who’s the cuddly one? What their favourite cuddling position?

Farley. She likes to sit on his lap, or when he massages her. Sometimes Shade wonders if she prefers to cuddle him or Clara.

Are they hand holders?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

They are the queen and king of handholders, I hope you have noticed how often Farley talks about his hands? She loves them!

How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances?

Look here: https://chaoslaborantin.tumblr.com/post/158757768598/red-queen-fan-fiction-in-the-meantime

Who tops?

Alternatingly. They try out a lot in bed.

What’s the worst first they’ve ever gotten into?

I guess … Shade got angry about the whole coup d’etat thing in Red Queen. Farley has fucked up massively there and Shade got loud for once. But this was afterwards, they were too occupied with surviving at first. The fight happened after they’d arrived at Tuck, when they were alone for a moment. She looked after his wounds when he started to question her doings. She froze, straightened herself and hissed “I’m well aware, thank for reminding me”. Shade flinched and remained silent. They didn’t talk for the rest of the day. Yet Farley came back on the next day and Shade felt unexpectedly relieved. He said he didn’t want to shut her up and didn’t wish for her to build a wall between them. She could trust him. Farley crossed her arms. “Okay?” he asked, and she nodded. She made a stupid joke then and suceeded in lightening the situation. “We’ll have to be better,” he said, and she replied, “we will be.”

I’m not sure about the timing here, tbh, but I guess later in the day, Mare is captured.

Who does the shopping and the cooking?

Farley doing the shopping is somehow canon. Cooking … they both can make do, but as they live in larger groups most of the time, they leave the cooking to experts.

Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?

Farley

Who proposes?

Here we get definitely in “I pretend it didn’t” happen territory. I always wanted to write this idea.

Shade proposes some weeks after they’ve realizes they’re having a baby. Farley thinks he’s joking and reacts in that way as she sees him kneeling down in front of her. She can’t stop grinning and almosts laughs, yet Shade goes all the way, until he asks “will you marry me, Diana Farley?” He tries very hard to pretend she’s laughing because she’s happy.

But finally, she says, “You’re serious, by the bleeding skies? You don’t think you have to make an honourable woman out of me, do you? Because I’m not -” She stops herself as she sees hurt flashing on his face. “Sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean -” she pleads, but Shade stands up and turns away. He tries his best to hide his hurt but both of them know he feels it. He pretends it was a joke, as Farley thought at first.

Farley feels bad about this for weeks. Then she approaches the topic again. starting with another apology he won’t have. She insists. “I love you, Shade Barrow, and I was mean that day. I wanted to say to you, for some time now, that maybe, possibly, in some years .. I’d like to marry you. Perhaps. If we’re still alive and our cause is won.”

“Now that is a good reason to keep on fighting,” he replies.

They’re engaged for years and let people know this. There are bets about when they’ll get married, but they never let anything slip and dissemble instead. “It’s good as it is”, or “we can’t decide on a name anyways”, or “marriage is overrated, being engaged is more extra”.

Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate?

Joined. But nobody but Shade and Farley know it’s their pre-wedding party. They pretend they just want to have a good time because they don’t tell anyone they’re getting married the next day.

Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids? Big Ceremony or Small?

The smallest ceremony ever. There are only the officials which are needed, Clara, and one or two close friends from the Guard who aren’t gossips. They have their own vows, make a photo, and have a nice meal. Some alcohol, but not much. They leave Clara with one of the friends present and have a glorious wedding night.

They wonder when Clara will let it slip that her parents have finally married and that’s the only risk they’re willing to take.

Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where? 

No. Unless they have a trip scheduled by circumstance to which they will refer to as their honeymoon ever after.

Do they have children? How many?

They have one canon child. Let’s assume they would’ve had more if Shade had lived and their cause was won. But if they have more than two, IDK?

Ask me for a ship!

[evangelineartemiasamos]

Farley and Clara (of course), 1, 3, 11 (Send me a character and a number for a headcanon)

Holiday headcanon

Do you mean travelling? I imagine Clara has some fond and faint memories from Piedmont and asks to go there sometimes and Farley tries to talk her out of it. Maybe they are travelling often because of Farley’s job. She reminds Clara how much she travelled even before she was born because she thinks it’s quite funny.Everything else depends on where they live. I assume everyone lives a little apart from one another, but Farley and Clara are the ones most frequently visiting their family members. And friends, because of course Farley has friends to rely on. And she is still bickering with the colonel and encourages Clara to tease him as well.

As for legal holidays, I guess Farley has some official functions to perfom and she makes deals to spent half of them with her daughter or brings her along. IDK what holidays they’d have and what connotations are there, so maybe they’d spent them with other family members. But I can imagine they like to be just the two of them of as well.

Sleeping headcanon

I’m still wondering if Farley breastfeeds her. On the hand, I’d say of course, on the other hand I wonder if it wasn’t comfortable with the physical activity she perfoms soon after the birth. AFAIK, when babies are (breast)fed, they just tend to fall asleep at some point. If Farley has an office, she has a spare cot there as Clara gets bigger.

After Clara starts to have regular sleeping times, Farley always reads her good night stories. Read, not tell, because she sucks at making them up. She thinks it’s necessary for Clara to learn speaking and at times, she doesn’t care if there are actual stories because books can be difficult to get and thus, Farley might pick up some papers from work instead.

Clara has her own bed, but not a cradle. Sometimes Farley has the need to check on her in her sleep because ever parent is a little paranoid (and before she was born, it was always a relief to feel Clara moving for the first time each day). They love cuddling. Clara sleeps in her mum’s room until she’s about two or three. That doesn’t stop her from sneaking into Farley’s bed at night quite often. That’s about the time Clara starts to ask for stories actively, like about her dad. Farley would be ready to oblige, but she thinks it is a little wasted to tell Clara in those moments between waking and sleeping.

Farley isn’t a sleepy person at all, but only because she knows when to have a power-nap. The need for these increased after she becamne pregnant. Clara is sleepy, but she knows when to go to bed (not a night person at all). She’ll start to pick up Mum’s discipline at some point, but Farley doesn’t push her as she is obedient when it comes to bed times. As I said, they have some rituals about it.

Now you might ask, “but what if Farley has a date with someone, Regina?” Well, depends on the date. If they started dating when Clara was still an infant, the kid spent the night somewhere else and grew up knowing about Mum’s love interest. If Clara was older, they would have to get to know each other first. Either way, Farley would organize these occasions precisely so both her love life and her motherhood can coexist.

Wardrobe headcanon

First of all, as I think this should be obvious, Gisa made baby clothes for Clara. Otherwise:

Farley: “I tried my best to convince my daughter that she doesn’t have to wear pink dresses just because she is a girl, but if she really likes it, who am I to deny her?”

Clara’a colours are green, yellow and pink/fuchsia. She likes dresses and skirts and jackets/layers, Especially when she’s little. Farley lets Clara have this talks with Gisa and just listens though she teases Clara about getting the pretty things dirty sometimes. But not often, because girls are allowed to get dirty ;-) As I HC that she will grow as tall as her mum, Clara needs new clothes quite often and Gisa likes the challenge though later on, they don’t meet that frequently.

Clara doesn’t like sport clothing and insists she can train just as well in regular clothes and dresses too. And she does.

The less Farley fuzzes about Clara’s clothing, the more she fuzzes about her curly hair. She shoves it behind her ears like ten times a day and brushing is a ritual. Farley gives her her gold chain at some point and demands her to take care of it.

Farley dislikes formal attire. She’s proud of her (dress) uniform and such but it’s only because of the respect while she hates wearing it. She finds formal clothing uncomfortable. Thus she dresses casually, yet she does pay attention to appearances and tries not to dress sloppily. She doesn’t hate dresses but they just aren’t her thing.

Hi. This is about the twitter troll who keeps harassing Victoria. I thought you should know. Actually, there was a prior incident to that one. That psycho twitter troll first created an account "@PunchVictoria" just to HARASS and THREATEN Victoria. He/She was mad because Victoria "endorsed" HRC in her book (remember the epigraph?). That psycho also said almost the same thing, saying that he/she would punch Victoria if she ever dropped by the Barnes & Nobles where said psycho was working at (1/3)

and also used “before and after” photos. It was so malicious in every angle that Victoria asked help from her followers to report the account. I did. Others helped too until the account was deleted. Apparently, the troll created another account, which was “@KickVictoriaA” because he/she had no more important thing to do in life than to cyber bully and threaten an author for her political beliefs. It was really sick, and now the troll even included Victoria’s book characters, thus tainting 2/3            

the image of the RED QUEEN fandom. I sent the same message to @lilyharvord just to let you guys know. 3/3        

https://chaoslaborantin.tumblr.com/post/161272019543/your-favorite-authors-are-being-threatened

I’m quite shocked to see such brutal threats against several authors and I hope they’ll find personal help and support. My best wishes to all of them.

I think we as fandom members should try to reevaluate our demands as well and should do our best to remain polite and supportive. No one should be tempted to use the anonymity of the internet to spread violent threats.
