going a little insane over the fact that while The Raven Cycle was being published, same-sex marriage was legalized not just across the US in 2015 but *in virginia* in 2014. assuming the books take place around when they were released, the gangsey grew up in a world where gay marriage and even civil unions were banned in their state, and at an extremely pivotal time in their lives, suddenly, it was legal. ronan lynch was maybe seventeen to nineteen years old when suddenly, he could marry a man if he wanted to. ronan lynch, Catholic extraordinaire, was in love with Adam Parrish before he could marry him. and then he could. isn’t that something.

My favorite part of the Raven Cycle is that in a span of a few pages Gansey was like “I’m so sorry for majorly breaking bro code 😣,” and Adam being like “It’s cool man I actually kissed Ronan like a hour ago,” and Gansey going “?!?!? What are your intentions with my dear son?!?! He’s my dear child you better not break his heart!!! Be careful with him he’s fragil!”

Literally follow this example

Raven cycle books are so fucking ugly it’s embarrassing but that is part of the reading experience

Brance is cute but I’ve never felt really connected to it.

Entirely valid (as someone who loves brance)

Hey so I need to read this now

I’ve written 4k words of Brance in 18 hours it’s coming as quickly as possible

Just want to say a warm thank you to the readers who still leave kudos on my Wtfock fics on ao3 in this year 2026. It makes me happy that they make you happy.
