something i love about maven's character is how conflicted he is both externally and internally.. wants to be in control but constantly controlled by someone else throughout his life. yearns for approval and love but alienating others away from him. feeling guilty for what he's done but not guilty enough to stop. adores his mother but being haunted rather than comforted by her voice. the most powerful person in norta but powerless when it comes to his feelings. thinks his brother would be inadequate as a ruler yet constantly feeling inferior to him. throws lavish parties for fellow silvers but feels empty and hollow inside. unable to dream, but often losing himself in memories and fantasies imagining what could have been. he cares, but it's never enough to save him; loves, but it's never hidden enough to escape his mother's marring; lives, but it's never bright or good enough to feel accepted and adored

Forever obsessed with the Maven line "No, my darling. I just know you better than anyone else." because it's the only time he's ever used a pet name with her and it's so perfectly calculated for maximum discomfort. It's not just "darling", it's "MY darling", and the sentence itself is possessive and isolating. It's intimacy as performance, because at the end of the day, he doesn't actually know her as well as he thinks he does. But he NEEDS to believe it's true, because Mare might actually be the one who knows HIM more than anyone else. And if that's not mutual . . . what does that mean for him?

I can’t believe he unlatched his bracelet with his teeth. And then called her a shrub. I love them.

since i am red queen pilled (and have been for years now with no end in sight) every action i make has something to do with red queen in my brain

going to buy dresses for the swan like viewing im having in august. most beautiful silver dress ive ever seen on the racks at my local store.

i dont think "wow pretty" or "omg love that". no. i think "evangeline would look HOT in that."

i cannot do ANYTHING without it relating to red queen.

oh and the parking company's name is "maven parking." good to know he's branching out

Mare "Please I'm begging you, give me a mission and get me out of this house and away from my toddlers" Molly Barrow gets sent on a mission with Cal "I'm telling you that we are not going to have fun because we are going to be stressed the whole time about the kids" Calore cause eh we haven't had a good relationship/marriage bonding mission since before Cori. The mission is very simple, they will be gone for a maximum of 2 days. Mare insists she will be fine, and that HE is going to be the problem.

1 hour into the flight there Mare turns to him and says "Don't be mad, but we have to turn around. I miss the kids and I don't trust Kilorn to handle them."

And Cal just looks at her like this: 😑
