(All head-cannon, fysa)

Chapter crawl for MS starts with the next episode! Nut to butt everyone!

  GS - CH 46 - Brotherhood 01.06.2026 1sa 48dk

  Lo Rusters! Darrow gets to see his daddies. Dancer and our favorite helldiver reconnect and discuss the betrayals of Harmony, the origins of bloddydamn, and their brotherhood/father-son relationship. Dancer gives his thoughts on Sevro and on the fact a Gold is the match that lit the Red powder keg of rebellion. Mickey, weirdo that he is, comes in weeping and kissing all over Darrow. He has been forced to come to the realization that he was a monster but wants to be better and Darrow, big hearted bastard that he is, says that’s good enough to ride in my gang. Mickey is odd. Finally, Fitchner enters and this time we don’t get snarky, lazy Proctor Mars, nasty, acerbic Rage Knight; we get the real deal Ares au Barca. The story of how he came to the realization that the rising needed to happen, his plans within plans, and his deep emotional understanding of the cost of all this. And his willingness to keep paying. But he can’t contend with the ways of Darrow’s heart.

  Achilles, Odysseus, Greek Mythology and the Red Rising World 25.05.2026 1sa 17dk

  Lo Rusters! ***Spoilers abound and Red God theories are in play***Today we have a conversation with author and historian Janelle Rhiannon in which we dive deep into the many connections between the Iliad, the Odyssey, and Red Rising. How are Achilles and Darrow similar? How are they different? Where do Lightbringer and the Odyssey connect? And what might these ancient Greek tales tell us about Red God? Checkout Janelle's own book series, the Homeric Chronicles, and give her podcast, Greek Mythology Retold, a listen and a sub!

  GS - 43 - The Sea 18.05.2026 53dk

  Lo Rusters! Darrow wakes in a strange room, it’s not the vale but it’s not the mud either. He takes stock and realizes he’s in a recovery ward, his wounds healing, and his favorite equine lady friend curled up next to him. After basking in the warmth of her evident love he attempts to begin to process his pain; physical and emotional. The multi-tiered pain batters him but for the first time he has someone to share it with and Mustang is more than up to the task, she shoulders some of his sorrow. After a debrief on the losses and the current state of the board, Mustang reminds Darrow not to screw around with her brother but to drop him for good, he has no need of him now that she is his politico. He voices some slight concerns but remains frustratingly noncommittal. Then he realizes how much this woman means to him, not just in the physical sense but in the life she gives him and that they could share. He sinks into his love for both his long dead Eo and the joy of his current love for Mustang.

  A Conversation with Pierce Brown 08.05.2026 1sa 27dk

  An exclusive interview with the author of the Red Rising Saga. We talked to Pierce about history, combat, military tech, basketball and so much more.
