of gloves and yoghourt

every single main character in the raven cycle is super careful with adam physically and refuse to do anything to hurt him and i find that very sweet and cute but it just becomes funny when there are at least 2 scenes where adam is being controlled by something that wants to kill them all and scratch their eyes out or something. a scene which in most media means one of them is forced to knock him out with a punch or something equivalent. but in the raven cycle everyone present is like. but we cant hurt our lil guy adam 🥺 #ouradam . and reading it im just like. Baby this is Chucky

pynch is awesome because adam thinks of ronan as being a bad influence that corrupts his innocent straightlaced nature by getting him to act like a reckless teenage boy instead of being the model scholarship student. its not that there isnt any truth to it. ronan is practically defined by reckless behavior. but the stuff ronan talks adam into doing is like. getting into a shopping cart and rolling across the grocery store parking lot. or dragging each other behind the back of a car on a skateboard. and adam is like ronans dangerous hes a savage hes sharp like a knife hes a dark enigma i dont know why i go along with his antics (he does)....but when its adam convincing ronan to do something its "lets fabricate evidence of our latin teacher abusing and murdering little kids and stand outside in his yard and throw a bag of chopped up body parts at him to run him out of town" girl HUH? and ronan is like yeah i basically view adam as an object of worship. and youre like wait hold on you think of him like hes a saint? and ronans like no. hes going to hellll 😁🩷

they had to have adam be running around doing ley line stuff at the end of tdt because if he was at that fourth of july party he simply would have murdered kavinsky and that would be that. and then the last two chapters of the book would be back to back solved by violence and instead of 'accept and value yourself' the message would've been, 'your problems can be solved with a gun'.

Richard Campbell Gansey the third: the only character I know who manages to have an EXTREMELY plot relevant bee allergy

When Noah watched Gansey swim and said he was once a swimmer as well. This scene. It broke me.

sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?

but would you love me enough to dig up my body after attending my funeral and tell my mom im sorry about her schnapps* to re-bury me on the leyline so that we could keep hanging out and also let me use you like a battery to physically manifest mysel-DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU BEGAN THE STORY IT WAS ABOUT NOAH CZERNY

thinking about ronan simply going to the barns to do mundane tasks like listen his dad’s old music, wipe dust off shelves, repair kitchen cabinets and door hinges, refurnish staircases, feed the animals, read books, watch movies, sleep.

just remembered we're about to get gansey on fire, what is it my dog needs, while i'm gone dream me the world and i wish you could be kissed jane all in full color very soon
