bruce springsteen im on fire changed the world because it lets cis men feel what it's like to ovulate

i’ll make a longer post abt this once it’s not midnight But… a girl’s only raven cycle AU wouldn’t Be as simple as just gender swapping the raven Boys Bc the dynamics of girlhood are so insane and complex like… it would add a whole new level of fucked up to adam’s jealousy/obsession with gansey (lowkey adam and ganseys friendship is very girl-coded which again i won’t get into rn) and also would change sooo much about how ronans character is perceived Bc like… he does this exaggerated macho thing But if he was a girl would he still do the hypermasculine thing and just Be a scary Butch (hot) or would his character have to Be adapted to perform hyperfemininity as a shield instead. genuinely the only character i can see Being unchanged By gender roles is noah Bc he lowkey fulfills no masculine gender norms during the series except kissing Blue i guess But honestly the whole Bestfriend’s kissing as practice is girl sleepover Behavior too. more on this later But do u see what i mean. you’d have to adapt their characters to the dynamics of female friendships not just change ganseys name from richard to rachel

Maggie couldnt have had Declan help save Matthew from Kavinsky in the dream thieves because he would have just straight up shot Kavinsky, no dramatic dream fight necessary.

the thing about ronan lynch is that he's so lonely. the only dreamer he knows, the only gay kid. when given the chance he dreams brothers and birds and brydes and little orphan girls. friends. companions. things made for loving no matter how difficult they can be. you are made of dreams and this world is not for you. he's not alone. not anymore. there's always going to be a part of him that's lonely. but he's so surrounded by love now.

After finishing the Dreamer Trilogy I'm suddenly struck by the fact that fans who have only read TRC must see declan wildly differently. They don't even know. They don't know he texted the love of his life (a dream) that she was the story he chose for himself, before murdering an entire building of people to try to get his brother back. They don't know how badly Declan wanted to be a son again, a kid again, to let someone else carry this, carry him. They don't even know that Declan loved Ronan, so Ronan lived. IF DECLAN HAS ZERO FANS IM DEAD!!!!
