Not to sound dark but if Cal and Maven both died, it would have been very poetic and the series would have made a full circle. Mare tells us in the first book that Maven and Cal are like Shadow and flame, one cannot exist without the other.

And if I said Mare Barrow is a beautifully written character who is not perfect, and did not deal with everything the right way, but she’s still a good person at her core and was only doing her best with the tools she was given. What then.
some of yall need to hear this!!
a girl at the edge of rebellion
And if you're a Powerless fan, BIG FUCK YOUU!!,!
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 was a baby, and she hammered her way into my head. She made my body stand, and walk, and fall.”
A collab piece I did with my absolutely wonderful platonic wife, @bruised-punk
Thank you very much for working on this with me, I love how it came out <3
Inspired by @northernember 's reblog of my tiny Maven :>
