i know the red queen tv show is now less likely to happen than katy perry going to space BUT if it DOES happen i think they should pull a rhaenicent and make elara and coriane have a failed tragic homoerotic friendship before becoming "rivals". nevermind what actually happens in the books. i think that would save me actually

#i've been rewatching hotd recently and imagining many rhaenicent scenes with them and oh. OH.#the idea of them becoming friends bc of Elara approaching Coriane first like she does in canon and growing v close to each other throughout #the years. and maybe Elara can be close to Julian and Sarah at first too bc Coriane wants her to meet her brother/bsf. idgaf #and then Tiberias starts showing interest in Coriane and it's kinda awkward bc Coriane already has a homoerotic friendship with Elara :/#and for a reallyyy short time Elara (who i imagine falls for Coriane first and harder. kinda like Alicent for Rhaenyra lol) pretends to be #okay with Coriane and Tiberias being together. for the sake of her friend's happiness (and bc of comphet too tbh)#and i imagine the three of them being friends for a really short while (like Mare and Cal and Maven were in RQ1 before the romance)#BUT then Tiberias proposes to Coriane and everything changes. and Elara and Coriane have the biggest fallout (Coriane thinks it's because #Elara was after Tiberias as well. and because she too wants to marry the Calore heir (which to some extent is true- i imagine Elara's famil #has been pressuring her to get closer to Tiberias/intefere between her and Coriane for a long while. and Coriane marrying him has spoiled #their plan). and that's what we see in Queen's Song. Coriane being worried about Elara after marrying Tiberias. except Coriane was never #really angry at Elara. she is as wary about her as we see in QS bc of Elara being more and more distant towards her/pushing Coriane away #over time. and despite what's “canon” i like to imagine Elara as a character similar to Alicent - forced to push her only friend away in #hopes to marry the man her family wants her to marry. so much so that Elara (like Maven. like every Merandus before her) gives in to what #she thinks is her duty to her House. and does exactly as they wish. “killing” Coriane and marrying Tiberias.#can you imagine how much more tragic hers (and Coriane's) character would be. burning her best friend's old diary. plotting against her bes #friend's brother and torturing Sarah as well. resenting her best friend's son - her stepson -. turning her own son against Coriane and neve #letting him know about hoe close they once were. regretting what she did every day of her life but not willing to give up her crown - the #one thing she sacrificed her entire life for. the one thing she sacrificed her best friend for #do you even CONCEIVE the level of angst. do you even GET it #i know the rq tv show probably will never happen but if it happens can VA please do this ^ . for me. for my sanity #IN FACT. idk whete i was it but I read somewhere that IF they did make the show Elara's character would be changed a bit (confirmed by VA)#i live in delusion but idgaf. a boy can hope🙏🙏#red queen series #red queen #elara merandus #coriane jacos #coriara #🫀
