Blue Lily, Lily Blue pg. 102

Until then, you can keep up with me on my main blog if you so desire, (@hillerska-official), and I hope everyone has a great holiday season and a happy new year.

My beloved throuple. Three is the best they can be.

I love this. Gansey has had all these cyclical lines and moments and experiences and here's the reason why. Noah, in some sense, always has been and always will be with him.

This is so sweet - yeah it's for all of them to use, but it's Blue's gift, and he made a whole scavenger hunt for her. Besties of all time, dare I say?

Like the camaro, like Gansey, dying and rising cyclically.

A lovely reflection all the way back to the very first line of the series.

Gansey, at this point, has lost his power of command, yet here he still wills something. Interestingly, a dream, not unlike Ronan.

As Ronan reaches out into his dreams searching desperately for light and goodness, what should he find but mint leaves. He reaches for goodness and he finds Gansey.

I love this line, we get so much of Ronan being internally fucking insane about Adam, and Adam in comparison is a bit more understated about it. Even here it's somewhat understated. But senselessly happy. For Adam Parrish to do anything senselessly.

This is such an interesting thing to learn about Niall. He's such a mysterious figure throughout the series and we mostly get him filtered through his sons and his business rivals, but here we just get. Something he did. Here's this thing Niall Lynch did for a stranger, for apparently no benefit to himself.

I wondered where Henry's mom would have picked this name from so I looked it up - it seems to come from Queen Seondeok of Silla, one of the earliest female rulers in East Asia, and the first in that region of Korea. She sounds very cool, and I always love to learn about more women in history!

So okay ummm. Rough translation from Google translate cause I don't wanna bother my friends who take Latin. Ronan basically seems to say something along the lines of 'maybe we should remember this in the future' and Adam calls him an asshole. Ronan Lynch Are You Being Horny? Right Now?

The way it doesn't even really need to be said. Ronan would sooner die than lay a hand on Adam.

This moment just kills me. Gansey is going to die and Adam is being possessed by a demon and he's just desperately trying to comfort Ronan. Gansey knows it's not real, Adam of all people certainly doesn't believe it. But he wants Ronan to.
