hi maxamillion, i have questions, mwahahahaha.
the raven cycle is consuming all my thoughts and i havent even got the books yet, so i feel the need to ask, what song describes each trc character? (and declan. he fascinates me. i am fully considering skipping the main books just to read the dreamer trilogy) AND what jake minch song describes them all??
which of the trc characters are similar to your ocs? i am curious.
what jake minch song matches your ocs?
fraser. anything about fraser.
WHY CANT I THINK OF OTHER QUESTIONS. HELP ME. im probably gonna be back later with other questions, bye max!!!
YAYAYAYAYAY THE RETURN OF THE KING OF TUMBLR ASKS ZIGGY HIII!!! I will gladly answer trc themed questions 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
songs to describe each trc character:
Gansey: he very much makes me think of Vienna by Billy Joel. Very ambitious boy, convinced he's almost out of time
Blue: 104 degrees by Slaughter Beach, Dog always makes me think of her, but also she's very Fiona Apple coded to me
Adam: tbh Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by the Smiths reminds me of Adam 😭 but also Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call by the Bleachers and Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls
Ronan: Welcome Home, Son by Radical Face, A Better Son/Daughter by Rylo Kiley, and Graceland Too by Phoebe Bridgers!!
Noah: don't make me think about him or i'll start crying. (funeral by phoebe bridgers)
Declan: idgaf declan haters i love him dearly he's my son and you're going to listen to me talk about him whether you like it or not. he is changed things by jake minch.
Henry: i don't feel like i know henry as well as i know the other characters since he comes in so late but he gives me the vibes of like dramatic minecraft parodies. let's say revenge by captainsparklez
jake minch song to describe each trc character:
Declan: as previously mentioned, change things (starts sobbing uncontrollably)
Gansey: none of them scream gansey to me, but nostalgia acts ending makes me think of him a little. "it's a place i'll stay forever if you let me / it's a night that i know that i'll curl up with / oh what a dangerous feeling / to know what it's like to really want something" because like... idk how much you've read yet ziggy so i'm gonna stop there until you've read further lolol
Blue: maybe dad's song, since it's sort of about jake minch learning about his dad and realizing that he's a bit more similar to him than he realized, and that's kinda what blue does throughout the series as well
Adam: say uncle a little bit because (ziggy stop reading if you haven't yet learned about ronan's second secret) he knows ronan likes him long before ronan ever admits it. and then in greywaren, he and ronan are extremely painfully miserably strip mall. "i miss the summer / i hate that i'm old in a dorm now / i hate that you're old in our hometown / i hate that i hate what you do / i loved being younger with you" and also "no other way i could turn it / you were the best that i've ever had / and over, and over, and over / i think that the world's gonna end / so i blame the wind and my dealer / when i'm asking about how you've been"
Ronan: JESSIE. JESSIE. JESSIE. "jessie please talk to me / i've been worried sick" okay okay declan and ronan and gansey oaky. and then "wonder how it gets this bad / wanna learn your warning signs / everybody's on your team / nobody can read your mind" STOP I'M GONNA PUKE OH MY GOSH I LOVE RONAN LYNCH SOMEONE HUG HIM IMMEDIATELY STFU. also whose you are. "you touch my arm / and i believe that there's a god" okay pynch. oaky pynch. okay. i'm normal i'm normal about this. deep breaths.
Noah: my baby boy. fingers and clothes, but only after they Find Out. ziggy i hope you don't spoil yourself. anyway, noah's "Secret" sticks to his fingers and clothes after the gangsey finds out. him reenacting it. oh god it makes me feel ill. also i feel a little but of unicef for him. he was just a kid who made friends with the wrong guy. and idk the song unicef just feels like making mistakes as a kid and learning the hard way.
trc characters similar to my oc's:
Fraser: for starters Fraser is so Noah czerny it makes me feel sick
Rosie: she's kinda a combo of Gansey and Adam because she's got the obsessions gansey's got but she's got Adam's angst
Juni: she gives Persephone vibes but also Matthew
Mazzy: ronan lynch ronan lynch Ronan lynch ft a little bit of Blue Sargent
Warren: younger him is Noah-ish but older Warren is more Gansey-ish. He's like a mix between the two
Eli: he is Matthew in his heart but he likes to roleplay as Kavinsky because he thinks it makes him cool or smth he's fkn stupid
My oc's as Jake minch songs:
rosie: fingers and clothes, both as a cigarette metaphor and as a person metaphor. Fraser sticks to her fingers and clothes, and she thinks they don't know, but they all know.
mazzy: jessie for sure, even though there are handgun lyrics that are mazzy coded, jessie is essentially who mazzy is post-endgame. Hence the Mazzy Jessie edit :(
juni: there's not one song that really encapsulates juni's character, but the lyrics "you were the only one of us with no addiction gene" and "one day you wake up and realize they're not funny, they're mean, and it changed things" from changed things are super juni coded
warren: unicef, i think. jake says it's about guilt, and warren is riddled with guilt. "predetermined weakness / you didn't know was there / you weren't mean on purpose / you were scared / learn it from the wrong kid / fighting for the wrong cause" and later "but you weren't trying to hurt them / no, you were a kid"
ruth: dad's song. shoutout to ruth's dad. you have no idea his lore yet, but it is important
cori: she's a unicef-coded, guilt-ridden kid, just like warren, but she's also a bit Jessie coded.
ivory: dad's song, but not in the exact same way as ruth !!! her dad died the same night as ronan lynch's, and was killed by the same person
eli: fingers and clothes!! Because literally everyone can tell that his whole persona he has on when he arrives at palmetto is a total facade. he thinks they don't know but they ALL KNOW
He liked strawberry scented perfume (it was the scent that Luca wore)
