he was a king;

btw, it speaks volumes about how fucked up everyone's mental health is if the moment one of the boys doesn't pick up his phone or is late to hang out, the others think he ended his life.

When I read the raven cycle for the first time the only thing I knew was that two of the boys end up dating each other and I thought it would be obvious immediately but boy was it not

even after all these years the gang learning about noahs ghostliness is so funny to me. like obviously they are freaked out that their friend is dead and was murdered. but no one is having a revelation about ghosts being real its not even mentioned. its like yea yea we all accept the existence of ghosts. back to the one living in our apartment.

The thing about the raven cycle that I forget every time I go for a reread is how much I root for blue and Adam at first - you want these kids to be in love and escape Henrietta and you know that isn’t the story you’re reading but you want it for them so much, it’s so exactly what they want and know they can’t have

how many public places do we think the lynches got banned from for fighting. like i bet they have to do all their grocery shopping online and aren't allowed near any restaurants. ten bucks says they always meet at the church on sunday not simply because they're religious but because that's the only place in town they don't get kicked out of the minute they set foot inside

was thinking about the dreaming tree in trb that shows you your worst nightmares and. ronan doesn’t go in—later revealed that this is because he not only knows what it does but also what he’ll see—but his worst nightmare is bringing back wasps. killing gansey. blue sees herself dangerously close to kissing gansey, fulfilling her curse, also killing gansey. richard “he imagined [finding glendower] might feel a lot like dying” gansey sees himself finding glendower. but adam. we’re never expressly told what he sees, only that gansey’s dead and it’s his fault and ronan hates him for it and he hates himself for it too. the difference is subtle but important. the others see the action. adam sees the end result. the others are afraid of killing gansey. adam is too, but that’s not his worst fear. adam’s worst fear is becoming like his father

The more I learn about the setup of Monmouth the less I judge Adam for his absolute refusal to live there. He goes to get something from the fridge? Someone’s pissing right next to it. Has to go somewhere at night? He has walk past Gansey sleeping bc his mattress is in the middle of the fucking main room. Bedroom? Literally haunted. I too would have snapped after about a week of that.
