Something about how in chapter 4 of trc Adam is insecure about the fray on his second hand sweater, and how it's a symbol of his background and insecurities, and how most people don't notice it, and if they did, they didnt think better of him for it

And how Blue saw it immediately and it was something she liked about him, a girl too good at seeing the vulnerabilities of other people, but Adam didnt want someone to see his insecurities, didn't want someone to acknowledge that life

But Gansey did. Gansey needed someone to see him at his worst and love him for it, and blue did that

And how Adam needed someone to see him at his most unruly, and encouraged that

And Ronan makes Adam loud

#i love these ships sm. adam and blue were never going to work out because they needed different things out of a relationship #blue needed honesty. she needed someone who wouldnt try and hide from her or keep her seperate from their life #and adam didn't want someone who was always going to see what he tried to hide and would remind him of it #by virtue of coming from a similar place #gansey is always so strong for everyone and so repressed he didnt think he was ALLOWED to have bad days #and when he was vulnerable with blue instead of pushing him away she liked him more for it #while ronan looked at adam and *saw* him and then did not remind him of it #quite help in the background; treating him thr same as anyone else; showing him its okay to be wild and his life isnt defined #by the line between the poverty of love and money of his youth and his ambitions for the future #have i made a lick of sense #im tired and doint my second reread of the year #when will this series free me #shay posts #trc #trc brainrot #gansey my blorbo #the raven cycle #the raven boys #the dream thieves #blue lily lily blue #the raven king #gansey #bluesey #blue sargent #adam parrish #ronan lynch #pynch #richard gansey #richard campbell gansey iii

ghost q&a, anne carson // noah and gansey in the raven king

#no i dont know what this means #fyi if u dont recognize first time slipping quote thats ganseys monologue immediately before ‘blue kiss me’ #and ok yea i was looking for the exact wording of x is wrong bc theres so much of that in trc but i cldnt find good one for noah or gans #and i like juxtaposition of the A saying its wrong and gansey says its right #quotes #ghosts #the raven cycle #greatest hits

[romantichopelessly]

There’s something so personal about the number of times The Raven Boys aligns Gansey’s relationship with Adam to his relationship with Blue

#like. he’s SOOO obsessed with Adam shxjxmnsbajcm #I’m only noticing how deep it goes on the reread #like ??? lines in blues narration where she’s feeling better about gansey when he reacts to her like he would Adam ??? #gansey talking about how much he wants to look like Adam on the inside. in the same breath thinking about the next witty thing to say to #blue. #Adam only connecting to blue when he’s showing her ganseys quest or ganseys artifacts #it’s about. both of them being more appealing to her when they’re channeling each other #gansey and Adam want to wear each others skin SOO BAD it makes me CRAZY INSANE #gansey #richard campbell gansey iii #adansey #adam parrish #blue sargent #the raven cycle #trc #the raven boys

[corpseroadking]

kinda crazy that the members of gangsey all thought they were going to be the one to kill gansey

#like. ronan dreaming of his wasps and adam and that vision and blue and her prophecy #even without knowing abt the corpse road ronan was still always incredibly aware of the fragility of gansey’s life #and the juxtaposition between this ageless boy #who seems both old and young #and immortal and kingly #and that EVERYONE felt how fragile his life was #🕯️ #sorry just. thinking abt gansey’s mortality again #what if the whole reason why he looks both old and young at the same time is bc of the fact that he came back bc of cabeswater #that in being imbedded into the cycle of death and recreation of this forest also means that his physical appearance reflects that

“Don’t be afraid,” Noah said unexpectedly. Reaching out, he pulled Gansey’s hand away from his ear. Gansey hadn’t even realized that he was still  holding it softly. Leaning forward, Noah blew his cool, corpse breath over Gansey’s ear. “Nothing there. You’re just tired.”

#i like how this looks but I feel iffy on how I executed this scene' #I wanted to pick up the softness and closeness of this scene but idk.... #but im posting it bcs I think it looks good anyways #sometimes you draw a good hand/profile and you just wanna show it off #the raven cycle #the raven boys #noah czerny #gansey #dick gansey #richard campbell gansey iii #blue lilly lilly blue #my art

with the graphic novels i’m being prompted again to consider trc tv show teaser trailer concept that has lived in my brain for?? over a year at this point??

just imagine. a sleepy virginian small town from above, a girl pedaling down the sidewalk on a bike. blue’s voice narrating as we slowly get closer.

“being the only normal one in a psychic family is bad enough.” cut to blue’s face as she rides. “what’s worse is being the one with a curse.”

a series of quick flashbacks of various women looking nervous, sad, and/or apologetic to blue at varying ages. maura’s voice. “if you kiss your true live, he will die.”

blue, on her bike, skids to a halt near aglionby academy. she watches the boys in their fancy uniforms and their arrogant smiles, their raven emblems. still narrating, she says, “so i have two rules. one, don’t talk to boys, because they’re trouble. and don’t talk to raven boys, because they’re bastards.”

she pushes off again. pan out to a darkening, cloudy sky. “you can’t outrun fate. but i didn’t expect it to find me so soon.”

the graveyard, st mark’s eve, with the dead marching past. then blue’s perspective, of only one lone boy, and neeve hisses, “take his name. he’ll die within the year.”

blue follows as the camera zeroes in on the boy’s face, his aglionby sweater, his rain-soaked shoulders. he stumbles to his knee, fingers splayed in the dirt. blue asks, “what’s your name?”

“gansey.”

the screen goes black.

“is that all?”

“that’s all there is.”

music slams in alongside a montage of scenes, gansey, ronan, adam, noah. these have some dialogue and are long enough to establish their personalities and relationships with each other. mostly generic/immediately pre-canon things like the dolly/car dragging incident, but also a few early book one scenes. included near the beginning is gansey asking, “what do you know about welsh kings?” and explaining, “legend says he’s only sleeping, and whoever wakes him gets a favor.”

blue’s voice comes back near the middle of that: “i have my rules. we were never supposed to meet.”

half-second flashes of her meeting gansey in nino’s, adam outside in the parking lot, whenever she met ronan and noah officially.

“i guess i was never any good at following the rules.”

another montage like before, now showing all of them in various scenes from book one, getting faster, more jumbled, and soundless except for the music as we go. it culminates in flashes of the cabeswater scene, completely incomprehensible but full of fear. in the end, adam lands on his knees in the forest, hands splayed in the dirt. gansey’s voice screams, “adam!”

screen goes black again. blue says, “this is a year people die.”

#the raven cycle #the raven boys #blue sargent #richard campbell gansey iii #adam parrish #look its very blue centric but to be FAIR the main plot IS #i didnt pick up trc for a while bc i thought it would be all bluesey no fun #im emulating that #also it felt like the best way at the time to establish the basic storyline #also i had to include a little adansey moment that cabeswater scene…. #also lmao i dont know how scripts or movies work #i just really want trc tv show #i think it would be very good animated for magic purposes #live action would be SO fun but theres so much potential to get it wrong #the most vivid and important part #To Me #is gansey saying ‘thats all there is’ to a black screen #like fuckkkkkk dude #i saw another fake trailer script once and that was how they Ended it which is also mmm good

One more thing:

When Ronan says “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” in Latin to Barrington Whelk, my soul left my body and floated through every level of the bardo before coming back and screaming into the void of my room at 3am. The way he makes dick jokes and sex jokes only with MEN in the first two books, before ~things are revealed~, I cannot. I’m ascending.

#the Raven cycle #the raven boys #decade trc reread #file under: moments I completely forgot about in the last ten years #but that are INSANEEE #Ronan lynch #blues dress looked like a lamp - gansey looked like he very much wanted a lamp #Ronan didn’t much like lamps #LIKE OMG????? OOOOMGGGGG????
