i’ve been dead for seven years

ok I slept like 3 hours last night so this will not be as coherent as I hoped but the quickest version is this: there's an anchor arc in TBC that has to be solid, as I've hinged every other part of the story on it, but the further we got into the book the more fragile it became. Tashie & I went back and forth for 2+ weeks trying to make it work. turns out a clean fix was impossible, and the only thing to do was tear the entire arc out and start over. I have faith I can get it right this time, but I don't have faith I can rewrite & revise (and edit everything else around it) in time for a November deadline. Sorry, my lovies, but thank you for all your kind words & for sticking with me anyway <3

andreil could survive a decade-long situationship but hollanov couldn’t survive a serial killer father, the literal mafia, or living with kevin day

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.

im not built for assignments i should be out there in the world searching for a dead welsh king and having complicated codependent friendships

rip ronan lynch you would've loved to tell everyone you know "the pope said i have to bomb openai data centers"
