"WE LOVE YOU" we all scream

I honestly wish that @probablythebooks (the event host) was running as a nominee as well because she would be absolutely phenomenal. I love you so much girl and I'm so proud of how you really took initiative to make the people you looked up to happy. Best host? YES. Best collab? YES YES YES. Take credit for yourself too, you are the talk of the fandom right now and that is not something to take lightly. We as a group are appreciative of you putting so much work in for us ❤️❤️❤️

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

Fade wedding

Fade Wedding! 🐇🦌

- They would wait a while to get married, probably still at least two years after Clara was born.

- In their minds they were already practically married, there wasn't an urgency for an actual ceremony as their relationship wouldn't change from it. They were happy with how it was already.

- Ruth and Daniel always asked if they were engaged yet and they would laugh it off until Shade actually did get to propose and everyone was like "FINALLY"

- They were thinking of getting eloped instead but then Farley unexpectedly found a dress online that she absolutely fell in love with and it inspired an official wedding for them.

- It was in a quiet and simple building they liked the atmosphere of.

- Their daughters were the flower girls, they let them choose their own matching outfits.

- Mare was the maid of honor.

- Farleys dad actually gave his full attention and his genuine happiness for them.

- They saved two seats in the guest count for Farley's mom and sister .

- The whole guard celebrated but they still tried to keep it low-key and casual, just a fun break for everyone.

GLASS SWORD Collector’s Edition - BRIGHT SHADOW (Shade’s POV)

Special thanks to theredqueendom on Instagram for sharing

[unknown198913]

Sorry to all the Powerless fans, but I have shit I want to get off my chest. This probably isn't going to be my last post on this debacle but I want y'all to read this with an open mind. I'm respecting you opinion on loving the book. just as you will respect mine for hating it. and perhaps plagiarism might not legally apply here, but the word copying felt too little.

Enjoy the Book If You Want—But Don’t Be Fucking Blind

Look, you can like Powerless. Seriously, go ahead, have fun with it. But for fuck’s sake—don’t stay ignorant. What Lauren Roberts has done isn’t just some harmless coincidence. It’s a big-ass issue that’s been popping up again and again in the book world, and no one seems to be taking it seriously. And yeah, it’s driving me insane.

This trend on BookTok and Bookstagram where people act like plagiarism is just “aesthetic inspiration” or whatever the hell? It needs to die. Fast. Plagiarism isn’t just lazy writing—it’s stealing. Straight-up stealing.

I might get a little mad and messy here, but I need to tell ya'll this.

1) Fact Check, assholes

In case some of y’all missed it: Red Queen came out years before Powerless. YEARS. This isn’t even debatable. So if you’re running around claiming Red Queen copied Powerless, I love to break it to you—but you’re dead wrong.

If anything, Powerless is the one that copied. Check the damn publication dates. It’s not hard. Stop jumping into drama without doing basic fact-checking, because you're just making it worse.

2. The Writing? … It Was Rough

I tried reading Powerless, I really did. But holy shit—it was a struggle. The worldbuilding was paper-thin, the characters were bland as hell, the banter was straight-up cringe, and the whole thing just felt like a Frankenstein’s monster of every overused YA trope smashed together without a single original bone in its body.

And it wasn’t just “inspired” by popular series—it felt like it copied them. Scene for scene. Word for word in some places. You can feel it.

Like tell me this book doesn’t feel like a bootleg combo of:

Red Queen

The Hunger Games

Divergent

The Selection

Shatter Me

The Young Elites

And look—I’m not saying those books are gods of originality. Most stories borrow things, especially in genres that recycle tropes. That’s normal. But the difference? Those authors took inspiration and actually built something new with it. They created their own stories, their own worlds, actual twists of originality

And yes I acknowledge the fact that Aveyard herself said that Red Queen was a mix of the trending tropes and a common storyline put together. I've read and enjoyed Red Rising, one of the books Aveyard was have said to plagarized and I can definitely see the inspiration, but that's it, it's inspiration. Victoria actually did put in effort and manage to make RQ her own. She drew from inspiration, not plagiarism

Powerless didn’t. It felt like Roberts just pulled the most, absolute most popular scenes from those books, copy-pasted them, sprinkled in some cheap-ass romance of her own, and called it a day. That’s not homage. That’s just a straight-up ripoff.

And it’s fucking disrespectful to authors who actually worked to create something of their own.

3. What Even Was the Plot?

Honestly? I still don’t know what the plot was supposed to be. It was a mess. The world made no sense, the message (if there even was one) got completely buried, and the whole thing felt like it existed just to push a lukewarm romance that barely had any chemistry, aside from all the tropes in the genre, odd writing, and bad banter.

And I’m not even hating on romance—it’s amazing when it’s done well. But if you’re gonna set up this whole dystopian/fantasy world and then do nothing with it? Why even bother? Give us something. Anything. Just make it make sense. Give us something to truly root for, romantic or political.

4. Stop Making Excuses—Especially the “It’s Her First Book” One

Now here’s the part that really makes me wanna scream: the people defending Lauren Roberts by saying, “It’s her first book, give her a break.”

Nah. Fuck that.

Red Queen was Victoria Aveyard’s debut. The Hunger Games was Suzanne Collins’ first YA novel. I'm sure that is the same for so many of these amazing authors out there... And guess what? You don’t see any of them pulling this same bullshit, do you?

Being new doesn’t give you a free pass to steal.

Plagiarism isn’t something you accidentally do because you’re “new.” Come on. I’m 100% sure she knew exactly what she was doing—and the fact that people are still out here defending her, calling themselves “readers,” and supporting that kind of behavior? Disgusting.

You don’t support reading and writing by excusing theft.

5. Y’all Are Defending the Wrong Damn Book

The wildest part? People are out here calling other books plagiarized while defending Powerless with their whole chest. Like, are we reading the same shit?

Plagiarism is real. It’s serious. And way too many people are out here brushing it off because their fave is involved. That’s not how it works. If we’re gonna hold authors accountable, let’s at least do it fairly.

So yeah, love what you love—I’m not here to tell you not to enjoy your favorite books. But don’t act like Roberts didn’t rip off half the YA genre just because the book made you feel something. Feel things and acknowledge the harm. Both can be true.

Please just learn the difference between inspiration and theft. Do your research. And stop giving passes to authors who don’t deserve them. If Lauren Roberts does change her ways, let me know, I'm all for a good book.
