i'm like, 90% sure all of the anons in my inbox right now are actually the same person so, if that's you, i'm just going to answer all of your mister impossible questions in this post since there are a lot of them and this is going to be really very extremely long
"Wait what why is Jordan awake?"/"Is the sweetmetal of declans picture helping jordan stay awake?"
i don't know why she's awake but i don't think it's the painting, because at the end of the book she's outside declan's apartment, not her own. i guess it's possible that she succeeded in making the painting a sweetmetal powerful enough to sustain her even there, but i feel like there's probably a different explanation. i've seen theories that she's inadvertently made herself into a sweetmetal by finally seeing herself as her own person rather than just a copy of hennessy, which is interesting
"And the things about the ley line Idgi? Hennessy wants to stop the power but for what"
i think hennessy thinks shutting down the ley line is the best (or even only) way to get rid of the lace. she hates herself for the lace to the extent that she doesn't even want to live anymore, so of course that's her primary motivation. she feels hopeless so long as the lace has power. she's desperate
"Why did he think adam was in on declans plan? I think the "oh" was more like oh you want to come with bryde of course...."
the "oh" is in response to ronan saying "i'm calling now. i need to see you", before there's even any mention of bryde. adam says "you're here? oh", not "you're here? why are you here?" the fact that he didn't ask why ronan was in town, the fact that he said an "oh" of realization instead, implied that he already knew why ronan was in town. and he could have only known by speaking to declan. i think it was a reasonable conclusion on ronan's part
"Ronan are you being serious????? Why should Adam/Declan drop everything and come fight with you - they didnt even know where you are, they don't know the plan. Then you accuse them of that Moderators plan without questioning them. And I mean, yes, Ronan is easily manipulated and he thinks everyone is against them and Bryde is the only one who cares but come on!!!!!!! Seriously, doesn't he get that he might be in the wrong????"
i mean, i think you hit the nail on the head when you said "he thinks everyone is against them." for a long time, he's been struggling with feeling alone, like he's a burden, like the people he loves don't really understand him. he's never had a healthy relationship with another dreamer, so it makes sense that he feels so isolated from literally everyone he cares about. and now he just found out two of the most important people in his life went behind his back to conspire against him (even if he doesn't have confirmation about adam, declan does admit to it over the phone) which is just...salt on a wound he's had since he was a kid. i'm not saying he's in the right, but i do understand why his immediate reaction was what it was. when you've been hurt like that, it takes some time before you can like, calm down and reconsider your own role in the situation
"Ronan basically dreamt Bryde in his worst dream right? Why does he still trust him"
i mean, i don't know how much we can believe what bryde says, but when he reveals himself as being ronan's dream he basically says that everything that he (bryde) wants, ronan already subconsciously wanted before he even dreamt him. that bryde wants it because ronan wanted it. to admit that bryde is in the wrong, ronan would have to admit he, himself, is in the wrong, too, and that's not easy. especially because a lot of his motivation is saving matthew and not wanting to live with the weight of matthew's life on his conscious anymore. especially because he's felt alone for so long, and now he just found out the first dreamer to truly make him feel less alone is his own creation. he's hurting. a lot. he will admit to being wrong in the third book, i think, but like i mentioned above, that kind of growth takes some time
"I think Ronan actually doubts Brydes plan too bc he thinks stuff like people built the dam, there are living things here, it cost a fortune..... and i personally never see a purpose in what they're doing bc bryde never tells them and ronan obviously doesn't know or he thinks he doesnt. I think he doesnt and he just trudts bryde blindly for now and his insecurities aka bryde take over and rule over ronan. Thoughts?"
i mean, i think ronan sees the purpose. here are his thoughts, directly quoted from chapter 17 when bryde is talking about restoring the ley lines:
"A world where Matthew could just live. A world where Ronan could just dream. A world where every dream was clear and crisp and easy to navigate, so there were never accidents or nightmares. He wanted it."
he wants, as i mentioned above, for matthew's life to not be reliant on his own (which i understand. that's a really heavy knowledge to live with.) he also just wants to be able to exist wherever he wants and with whomever he wants (thinking, for example, about how he wasn't able to get an apartment in boston in cdth), without constantly worrying that the nightwash is going to kill him. poor guy just wants a normal life
"Also did we ever actually see bryde get something out of a dream? Most work did Ronan"
this is interesting. now that you mention it, i don't think we do. supposedly he dreams the orbs, but i can't recall ever seeing that happen? i could be wrong, though
"And why is the nightwash mostly ronans problem? I mean hennessy and rhionna (?) had it very little and who knows if the other dreamers have it"
i think ronan is a much, much more powerful dreamer than any of the others. there's something...More about him. something special about being the greywaren. i don't know what it is, specifically, but i anticipate that's something we'll find out in the final book, and i expect it'll explain why the nightwash affects him more than it does the others
"Who the hell dreamt the mods"
i don't know! i think the most popular theory right now is that it was nathan farooq-lane. i'm not sure how that works, though, since they killed nathan and bryde took the sweetmetal off of lock pretty early in the book (unless nathan isn't actually dead, somehow) (or bryde is nathan, which is another popular theory). another theory is that it was ronan. like, he was feeling so alone and misunderstood that he accidentally dreamt his own persecutors? or it's possible that they were all just dreamt by random dreamers and that's why they felt strongly enough about the "cause" to become moderators, but that's kind of boring
"And why are R B and H so dangerous? Bc of what they're doing?"
yeah, and, i mean, according to liliana's visions, they have the power to end the world
"Can I point out that Idk what everyone is talking about, I dont get pynch possible breakup vibes at all from this book"/"Am I trippin or did I read another book? Because some fellas say there's no pynch"
i think when people say there's no pynch, they just mean that there's very minimal pynch interaction, specifically. because, yeah, even though they're both constantly thinking about each other, it is true that we only get one moment of them actually interacting (the phone call), and it's obviously not a positive interaction
i don't think anyone actually thinks they'll break up. at least, i haven't seen anyone say that and i've been feverishly reading everything under the mister impossible tag, so
"What struck me as really odd was that Adam bought this stupid 14$ waffle which he would have never done a few months back and I dont think he would do it now? 14$ is a lot of money esp for a waffle so why spend it on something as useless as this? And why do the others need Adams money? Are they all on scholarships? Was it just bc he had cash and the others didnt? And why is he treating them like his followers and they treat him as their guardian or whatever like he clearly needs to be honest with them"
okay, first off, i will say, as someone who grew up poor and, like adam, absolutely busted my ass in high school to get a good scholarship so i could go to college, the relief of actually getting that scholarship is...powerful. my financial anxiety definitely didn't disappear once that happened, but there was, at least in my experience, this feeling of "i made it, it's going to be okay now" that made it a little easier to spend money. i don't think it's that unrealistic that he, now having the security of a harvard education, would spend fourteen dollars on something he doesn't need every once in a while. it would be completely out of character for henrietta adam, yes, but it's a bit different now. plus, it wouldn't suit his faux Harvard Adam persona to refuse the waffle because of how much it costs
i think his friends are all a lot more well-off than he is. it was just that they didn't have any cash on them and the waffle truck didn't take card (also realistic, i never have cash on me so i always have to ask someone to spot me when a place turns out to be cash-only)
i think (a) they all look up to him because he has this really calm, cool and collected persona. more importantly, we can assume that they were all struggling with something when he met each of them, since they were all crying. now in swoops this guy who saw them upset and came to comfort and befriend them. of course they see him as something like a hero. and (b) i think he likes that. in high school, he was the one being rescued, not the one rescuing. i think he enjoys being the kind of person he used to wish he could be (ie. gansey. he's being gansey)
"I thought it a bit funny in a weird way that Declan talked about marrying Jordan…I can't imagine he was being too serious about it?"
no, i mean, i don't think he was literally proposing, not yet. he's just really happy for the first time in a long time (maybe ever) and, after a lifetime of pain and trauma and more responsibility than he ever signed up for, i don't blame him for wanting that feeling to last forever, even if he's not really thinking clearly
"Also I think it's amazing they make each other so happy but the ending makes me a bit sad or surprised bc shouldn't Matthew be his nr1 priority now?"
we only have jordan's perspective at the end, so when she thinks that it was clear declan had come out of his apartment looking for her, i don't think that necessarily means he wasn't also looking for matthew. i don't think it's fair to say that, in that moment, he should prioritize either matthew or jordan. he loves two dreams, so he can and should be concerned for both of them equally. i don't think one love is inherently more important than the other just because it's lasted longer or because it's family

“That is f*cking hilarious. They have the game up here stitched up.”
“No way! They arent even trying to hide it anymore. Ten times worse challenge than Halliday’s which the media have been greeting about all week.”
“Liewell said to Liewell. let him play!”
“Anyone who fails to motivate themselves to get one over this pr**k shouldn’t be playing for us at all.”
“That really is appalling.”
  “Disgusting but I’m not even shocked anymore. The most disappointing aspect of their corruption is that our club says absolutely nothing regarding it.”
“LUDGERY – the establishment club strikes again.”
“I guess they don’t take referees opinions on their judgements. Dermot Gallagher on sunday was adamant on SSN that was a red mainly due to Brown’s obvious frustration and that he went to hit the player with no thought on getting the ball.”
“Absolutely disgusting, just shows that the SFA are in Liewells pocket not even a surprise anymore.”
“Well thats the benchmark set, those tackles = yellow card, no more. Broon has been getting away with sh*t like this for years and it has become the norm.”
“Even on Kerryfail street they are thanking Liewell. What joy can their be for any football fan in winning rigged titles when you know the SFA are your twelfth man? Hammer throwers have won Scottish football. Put out the lights.”
“Disgrace but are we really surprised.”
“Well I never”…”Hahahahahaha – that is all”…”Wow just wow.”
“There’s a surprise, Scottish football is a complete joke.”
“Shocking to say the least.”
“They have engineered a situation in Scotland where one of their players will never ever be suspended against (Sevco) Rangers.”
“Well the bench mark has been set then.corupt to the core.’
“Anyone really surprised? Time for someone in the starting XI to put that prick in his place. No excuses.”
“Thats feckin insane. What a disgrace of an organization.”
“So they are saying that going in late, from behind, after the ball has gone straight through the opponents ankle is fair game now in Scottish football. I’d implore our players to test this out on Saturday.”
“Brown needs to be clattered all over Ibrox this weekend, after all reckless challenges have now been deemed as yellow card offences only.”
“Why the surprise ,the paranoid amongst us have know the games a bogey for a very long time. Time others woke up to the fact.”
“Hopefully fires up our players so someone can put him in his place.”
“Who in our team is going to clatter him? He’s untouchable on the field, and untouchable off it. F***ing joke.”
“LOL – how do you compete with sh*te like that. Time to turn on the SFA Bears…”
“Not surprised in the least. They run Scottish football. Brown gets away with tackles like this in just about every game he plays.”
“Time for our club to end the silence, its getting us nowhere. Any red card in future should result in Pedro speaking out against it and the club ramping up media pressure on the refs.”
“Is he still not suspended? I thought he was only 1 yellow away from auto 2 match ban?”
“It automatically kicks in…after two weeks.” (When Scott is on his hols!)
“Pedro partly to blame as well, with daft comments before last game he would much rather Brown played these games. We should be able to beat them with full team anyways, lets not s*** the bed people!”
“They have friends in high places this is no surprise no wonder the referees are sh***ing it to give a decision against them only for them to be told nah you’re wrong Broony never touched him.”
“Is anyone surprised? They dont even attempt to hid it anymore. Who will pull them up about it? They have the media under total control.”
“They are openly laughing at us now.”
“Never in doubt from the moment Brenda appealed. Scottish football is fkd. The compliance pr**k did nothing about Brown’s off the ball elbow on wee Holt yet here he is downgrading this. Years of dignified silence brings us to 2017 and being absolutely fkd from pillar to post. If the wasters in our dressing room can’t motivate themselves for Saturday after this then they never will.”
“The game up here is f***ed….completely. Sadly 99% of us knew this was coming. There is little point now.”
“Not shocked. We now live in an environment where it is okay to run on to the park and assault players, but if you walk down the street singing the Billy Boys you will be jailed. So Brown having his card reduced is no major surprise. Remember it’s Liewell who runs the appeal system anyway.”
“Catholic Cabal…If the Protestants remembered how to protest, the taigs wouldn’t be able to ruin every f***ing thing.”
“If this baldy, ****  *******  **** walks off that pitch on Saturday having not been tackled again, I’ll lose my s***.  It’s waaaaay over due. Someone ****ing cement him.”
“Andy ‘quintessential tarrier’ Walker thought it was a straight red ffs. Ah well… maybe it is a warning to other refs not to dare punish *** ***** than it is anything else…”
“Pedros comments should have had no bearing on the decision – and wouldn’t have. His jersey colour and who runs the SFA – does.”
“Fair enough, though again his comments were a touch naive and I highly suspect someone will have had a quiet word.”
Would be interesting to know who are on these panels however.
“Who sits on these panels?”
“Declan McLaughlin and his brother Patrick and his sister Ann-Marie.”
“Celtic Lawwell would have spoken to SFA Lawwell and downgraded it.”
“Never in doubt! Anyone fancy saying there’s still not a level of hate running through the game against (Sevco) Rangers?”
“Shocked, but not surprised. They’re now just re-writing the rules to suit their own agenda. If they don’t get the result they want, they start a campaign of intimidation, smear and vitriol until they get what they came for. Worse still, the SFA, the politicians and the media are in their back pocket – and no-one, yet no-one, stands up to or opposes them.
“While that’s going on, we battle each other and tear ourselves apart with schisms and infighting. The only people that can halt the paddy mafia are the people, and at the moment, our voice is nowhere to be found. They finally got what they’ve sought for years – the pre-eminent position in Scottish football and Scottish society at large.
“That could only be achieved by dismantling the Rangers, and they systematically did that too.”
