The Raven Cycle scenes: 1/?

“Being Adam Parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. He was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival. The most important thing to Adam Parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master. This was the important thing. It had always been the most important thing. This was what it was to be Adam. Kneeling in the middle of the pentagram, digging his fingers into the soft, mossy turf, Adam said, “I sacrifice myself.”

When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now). 

I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes. 

Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that. 

Aries: Really angry and always feel like they wanna punch someone or something. They also get annoyed at everything, even furniture. But all they want is someone they can talk to to calm them down. Ironically, they also want to be left alone. They can be sensitive and they don’t care if people don’t like it because they’re too angry to. If they’re extremely mad they’d probably start crying out of frustration. They don’t always know how to deal with their emotions. 

Taurus: They get annoyed even by the sounds of people. Sometimes they get ticked off to the point of wanting to cry because of frustration but they hate it because they don’t want people to see them as weak and because it’s a humiliating feeling. They’ll speak their mind if needed. They never forget things that make them mad so if you pissed them off five years ago they’ll remember it now. 

Gemini: They are detached, and every attempt at a conversation turns into a debate and passive aggressive. They are either extremely open about it or completely ignores why they’re annoyed because they’re not really the type to try and get revenge just because they had a small burst of irritability. They may cry if they’re under enough stress already but they won’t tell anyone they did unless they’re very close. They are blatantly unamused or may be distant in social situations if they can’t get their mind away from it quickly. 

Cancer: They don’t like to get angry so they keep their frustrations to themselves until they it’s too much and they explode. Usually they yell and they get very passive aggressive when that happens. After they get it all out they start to cry if they’re that frustrated. If not, they’ll just be snappy and rude. And then they start to ignore you. They’re also very moody people. 

Leo: When Leos are mad, everything you do annoys them. There’s only some people who can calm them down. You can tell when they’re in a bad mood because they don’t talk or laugh at all and that’s what they usually do then they’re happy. They’re stubborn so it takes a lot for them to be happy again when they’re unhappy so it’s best to just leave them alone because they’ll probably lash out at you, which is not exactly the best thing for you. 

Virgo: In a bad mood, Virgos glare at everything that comes their way. They are high strung and won’t talk about why they’re upset unless they’re asked. They will be quieter than usual. They also like to ignore people. They are distant, they’re not talkative, smiley, or laughing but they’re more sarcastic than usual. 

Libra: Don’t make Libras them repeat themselves when they’re angry. Don’t ask them useless questions. They will ignore you if you keep trying to have a conversation with them or they won’t bother with giving long answers. They just shrug their shoulders or shake their head. They want everyone to go away but feels lonely when they do. They get really snappy. They can also get kind of loud and aggressive. 

Scorpio: When Scorpios are upset, they are always irritated. The littlest things bug them but they’re also slightly emotional so they cry when they’re frustrated and they absolutely hate it. They also passive aggressive as hell. Sometimes aggressively passive aggressive. Do not mess with them because they will not hold back. You’ve been warned. But they will not stay angry for long because they get over things quickly but the longer you drag it on the longer it takes for them to get over it. They like to rant out their frustrations to a friend or two but if they don’t show interest it makes them feel worthless and lonely. Their answers also get very boring and are even more sarcastic than usual. They’re very moody people. They like to be alone when they are angry or at least with someone they trust. But they won’t talk about it with anyone else. 

Sagittarius: They get angry but they usually try to suppress their feelings. They don’t forget about it though. They can get very aggressive and will want to fight everyone and everything. They get irritated by the smallest things and they just want to ignore everyone. They can get sarcastic as well and their attitude will change drastically. They just want everyone to leave them alone. 

Capricorn: Capricorns take their anger off innocent people and blame them. They don’t want to be talked to and get annoyed extremely easily. The little things bother them and they can’t get snappy. They act like they want to be alone but they really don’t. They ignore people and don’t show they’re mad but really they’re just internally screaming at you. They keep things bottled up and are selective of what they show you. 

Aquarius: They’re ready to murder anyone that gets in their way. They get violent and will lash out on you if you bother them or get in their personal space. They don’t know what to do with their emotions since they bottle up their emotions so they might get emotional. You can expect silent treatment and they want to be left alone. 

Pisces: They don’t usually get mad or irritated but when they do they think very deeply about the situation. They need their space to think and calm down. They forgive but never forget. They get annoyed by the smallest things and are really sarcastic. They learn to hold in their tears after a while but sometimes they burst into tears if it gets to be too much.
