man. it's "how do I know I love her? because I can sleep after I talk to her," and drowning in glendower to pay off a debt you never owed, and somehow "gansey kind of wanted to live," and then suddenly thinking of life after glendower, which had never happened before. it's "she just wanted to keep being best friends with gansey forever," and "don't throw it away." it's doomed by the narrative, from the start, but maybe she was in love with all these raven boys and their quest anyway!! maybe it's pointless, but I'll save you if I can!!! 😓😭
trc naming things that have repeatedly given me psychic damage lately:
wikipedia says glendower had a close, close friend named adam
blue sargent is a type of juniper that is very short and very spiky
persephone died midway through the series and persephone in greek mythology is the queen of the dead who is here for half of the time and with hades for the other half
Adam staying a good person throughout the whole series is so good don't get me wrong but it's also just a waste of potential like he could've been the most vicious and perfect antagonist and you know whom he would've had by side? Ronan—like yeah Ronan loves Gansey, Ronan would've killed for Gansey but for Adam? He would burn and destroy cities and countries and everything. Literally, everything for that boy.
do you ever think about how NONE of the gangsey really had friends before they met each other besides henry? the only people we know gansey interacted with before meeting adam and ronan are people like mallory, who i wouldn't really count as super close friends. we know blue was the odd girl at school. that the only people adam seems to really interact with are gansey, ronan, and noah at the start of the raven boys. we know ronan was close with his brothers, but never mentions any close friends growing up. even noah is only really described as having one close friend (whelk) in high school, and we all know how that one ended up.
i think a lot about how messy the friendships are in that group, but it wasn't until today that i realized that part of the reason might be because none of them have really had friends before. it makes sense that henry, the ONE person who actually seems to have friends besides the gangsey, is also the one who is the most upfront with getting friends, and the one who seems to be really good at picking up his new friends' strengths. he's already been there before, so he knows how to interact within groups like that. everyone else is still figuring out that dynamic all throughout the series.
not gansey and ronan being apart for like 2 days in tdt and acting like the other one was dying 😭😭😭 gansey telling ronan to dream the world whilst he’s gone… like girl ronan has enough time to dream a pencil
