#trc reread notes

The Gray Man’s “preferably not” when Maura asks if he’s going to kill someone and then killing someone reminds me of Adam thinking he usually has better ways of getting what he wants than lying, and then immediately lying. Kings <3

gay people can never just tell their crush they’re hot it’s always some shit like “hey, tiger”.

I don’t mourn Ronan pov chapters in TRB but I have to say I do a lil in BLLB. Am at the part where Ronan totally overhears a little of a Bluesey phone call and Gansey thinks Ronan will be so jealous which don’t get me wrong on some level he jealous of Blue rn I’m sure, but mostly since he’s just started to initiate his wooing Adam Parrish plans (the hand lotion) he’s predominately quite pleased that Gansey and Blue together takes out his competition in a clean sweep. Like 30% of his brain is jealous but the other 70% is ready to bake Bluesey a “thank you for dating each other and not Adam Parrish” cake.

Henry’s like Gansey loves traumatized boys who occasionally do things like steal his car so I need to do something questionable to him like get him to go down a hole with me and then tell him about my trauma and how I’ve been stalking him and he’ll want to be my homoerotic best friend too. And it worked! Smart of him to confess to the stalking Last after everything else though, Gansey’s the forgiving type but that still could possibly have gone too far if he’d lead with it.

Yes Ronan’s flirting technique would be dubious with anyone else but have to say he really does quite well with tailoring the flirting / wooing game for Adam specifically. Very correct call about taking him to the Barns so Adam can swoon over it and see Ronan in that space embodying the things about it he admires, and then he assigns him research and calls him smart because he saw how that worked on Adam when Gansey did that and also has freshly witnessed Adam’s teacher kink when it comes to his dad’s murderer. All I’m saying is he was taking notes on things that weren’t Latin.

Ronan is so committed to the dog coded aesthetic for sleeping on the floor next to his future boyfriend’s bed regularly

Adam saying that how people treat Noah shows him he can trust them simultaneously sweet and a lil fucked up depending how you look at it, the Adam Parrish caring about people brand
