Why I love TDM so much

I love The Darkest Minds so fucking much. It's about found family. It's about trust and friendship. AND IT CREATES SOME OF THE BEST CHARACTERS I'VE EVER READ.

So obviously the setting. I like how much effort Alexandra Bracken puts into designing a world that I could definately foresee myself in a couple of years, especially with the rise of GMO food (agent ambrosia) and how it dives deeper into corruption and how a government works being that it never truly will care about it's people unlike many other dystopians I've read. I hated Shatter me (sue me, sure.) despite how similar it is to TDM because I didn't get a strong grasp of character and setting and it was mostly romance rather than an exploration of setting and our world.

Moving forward I LOVE THE CHARACTERS! They're realistic and lovable and flaw...ful? Whatever. The characters have a realistic representation of trauma in all its forms, and many of the characters have real feelings and you can really understand and love them. In many YA books I feel like the main hero doesn't really have much personality, but seeing the world from Ruby's eyes is a breath of fresh air. She's not bratty, but she's not perfect either which are the two swings in YA. She constantly feels guilt, and feels real just like if you and I were in the book together, we'd understand what Ruby is going through. And Liam who on the surface is the perfect dude but really, he's trying to deal with his trauma and guilt while simultaneously trying to keep an unhealthy, perfect facade to keep the rest of the group motivated. He has to live with the guilt of Caledonia and Cole as well as the childrens league and he learns to stop putting out a facade and just truly process his emotions. And Chubsie? My stubborn arrogant loveable grumpy bean. He's stuck with Zu and Liam for ages and now theres a total newcomer who may or may not be a threat. How would he feel? He learns to adapt and becomes bestiessss with Ruby which is extremely wholesome. And Zu. She's so sassy, and amazing, and a queen and yet she's also dealing with trauma by voluntarily going into silence because she doesn't have words to deal with her pain. She learns to speak up and become a force for good. I'd go into Vida, but I don't think I have enough time.

I love the found family. The different groups which become like family to each other. The Original Black Betty gang consisting of liam, ruby, chubs and zu. The never fade childrens league gang which consists of nico vida ruby and jude and maybe cole. And the final new black betty gang which basically pulls Vida into the family. the beyond the night gang with sam, mia and lucas. The darkest legacy gang with priya roman zu max and mayyyyyyybe even lana if she recovers. They are all family and as ruby states family is not the place but the people you are with and these characters make each other comfortable and happy and together and just adopt random children along the way in the case of the darkest legacy gang. Lets call them the psion ring gang. I just love the found family thing that this book series creates for us.

Which godly parent i think tdm characters would have and why

Cole is a child of Vulcan, Hephaestus's roman counterpart, cause fire. Cole is a preator of camp jupiter. He ran away from home when his mom married Harry. He hasn't contacted them since

Liam is a child of hephaestus cause he is good with cars, and children of hephaestus are good mechanics, i decided to have Liam and Cole at different camps for plot. Liam dosent know Cole is also a halfblood

Vida is a child of Mars, Ares roman form (no explanation needed)

Chubs is a child of Apollo cause docter

Clancy was a tough one and was a toss up between Athena and Mars. Mars is Ares roman equivalent. But I decided Mars so Clancy could be a preator of camp jupiter with Cole cause I think that'd be hilarious

Jude is a child of Murcury, Hermes roman equivalent. I can't explain why he just is

Nico is a child of Athena and is a spy for Clancy

Zu is also a hard one cause I want to say she is a child of Zues, but in the darkest legacy she is such a smart cookie, but I still have to say she is a child of Zues

Jack is a child of hermes (need I say why)

Sam is a child of Mars, Ares roman equivalent. Because it makes sense

Lucas is a child of Apollo i think he'd have sun power, which could be used to burn people

Mia is also a child of Apollo, she sucks at singing, playing instruments, writing poetry, and medicine, if she wasn't such a good archer no one would believe she was a kid of Apollo

Gabe is a satyr (he dies bringing zu to camp)

Cate is a decendant of Venus, Aphrodite's roman equivalent, cause I say so

Ruby is also a child of Venus, cause charmspeak and cause Venus is not just the goddes of love and beauty, but victory too.

TDM Band Camp Headcanon

*note: some of the ideas came from a post or a story I read somewhere, but I can’t remember where. Also, as this is wind band, there’s no string instruments, and no electric instruments. 

First of all, who plays what:

-Ruby: french horn, because it was arguably the most difficult and low-key the most important instrument in the ensemble

-Liam: percussion, for the himbo that he is (no shades here, I’m a percussionist myself), and specializes in playing snare drum, though can play everything in the department

-Chubs: oboe, demanding technical-wise, and a superior instrument in many ways

-Vida: trumpet. I think this one is very self-explanatory.

-Jude: alto saxophone. He wanted to play baritone sax but it was way too big for him that he could barely stand

-Zu: flute. Sweet, light on the feet as her.

-Nico: bassoon, and is constantly tired of everyone’s bullshit. He also does arrangements of popular musics or film musics upon requests (usually from Jude), but firmly rejected when someone requested Gangnam style.

-Roman: trombone, also for the himbo that he is

-Priyanka and Lana: clarinets

-Cate is their camp manager. She plays too but wouldn’t tell them what instrument it was.

-What would Cole play, you asked? Trumpet, of course.

-He’d be the legendary camp alumnus from a few years ago who’s gone on to have a career as a trumpet player, and came back to coach them (more to annoy the hell out of his little brother though)

-They’d have campfire nights where they play songs that they all know. Final Countdown was one of the songs that everyone knew. John Williams was also on the menu when requested. Ruby nails the french horn solo in Jurassic Park. Liam can basically turns everything into a drum set.

-Cole and Vida would drive to the other side of the mountain at dawn, and blast the camp with their solos of famous fanfares from across the valley to wake everyone up at 6. Everyone says they hate it, but secretly enjoys it because they were that good.

-They took Roman with them that one time, and he played Imperial March, which led to multiple kids waking up covered in cold sweat. Cate banned them from doing so since.

-Ruby, Cole, Vida, Roman, and Zack (who plays Tuba) formed a brass quintet, which Liam was absolutely salty about. They do enlist him when they need a drummer, though.

I’ll add more when I thought of them

TDM Kids and Parents

- Vida and Chubs would have a kid early on before anyone else, and the first one (who is a boy) is obviously named Jude.

- Vida is an awesome mom, periodt.

- She always covers the Jude’s ears whenever she swears, so she’ll be like 

- Why the *fuck* would you do that you little *shit*

-And Jude thinks it’s a game and giggles his head off and will try to covers Vida’s ears and everyone thinks it’s adorable

-Vida would try to coach her children to say weird things as their first words and eventually Chubs gets finds out 

- Chubs: say ‘daddy’ 

Child : daaa

Chubs: Yes, go on, ‘daddy’

Child: Daaaa, Chubby chubby choo choo!

Chubs: vIdA!!

Vida: *Innocently* yes sweetie?

- Chubs loves to read to his kids, but will make them read massive historical texts or classics as a bed time story. 

Like Vida would be, ‘Are you reading a  7 year old and 4 year old, War and Peace...again?? 

- Chubs ‘Well it’s never too early’ Meriwether.

- Liam and Ruby eventually get baby  fever and have loads of kids, plus an adopted kid and like 3 dogs and a cat. Rubiam can just never say no to animals, and Chubs keeps on ranting about how they need to stop.

- Rubiam are just such cute parents, and Liam would be really overprotective over his girls whilst Ruby would be a bit more chill.

-But Ruby does worry about them being cold and swaddles them with jumpers and jackets and makes sure they sleep properly because she doesn’t want them to follow her sleeping pattern.

-She would be like, ‘no more excuses, go to bed’ and Liam would practically beg her to do the same.

- Vida and Zu would be awesome aunts and literally spoil everyone’s kids. Vida once allowed them to dye their hair because they knew that Ruby might disapprove.

- Liam would make these weird wooden figures for his kids which would be some sort of deformed penguin most of the time but the kids still love it.

-Chida kids would be so diverse, they’ll literally be athletic and spurt out a really smart fact once in a while.

-Although Rubiam kids would be a little competitive to Chida kids but still be best friends.

-COLE AS AN UNCLE. 

-He is literally the best uncle in existence. He will take them out to fast food places and tell them to get whatever they want and then treat them to adventurous places. 

-He would also tell super embarrassing stories about Liam to them eg, ‘When your dad was 7 years old he-’ 

-’SHUT UP, COLE’

- Cole use to hate babies because he thought they were repulsive and attention seeking, but when his first niece was born he would hold her for hours.

- Liam would say, ‘I thought you hated kids?’   ‘Changed my mind’ 

- Plus, whenever he got annoyed of having the kids over, he would just drop them off, but everyone would love visits from ‘uncle cole’

-Rubiam kids would beg for Cole to play soccer or football with them, because Ruby is often busy and Liam, let’s face it, can’t play.

- Zu and Roman would be really chill and just have one kid (probably a girl) , but love her so much

-Roman would play old music and dance with her until she laughed her head off.

-Zu would also introduce her to the Japanese dolls that she grew up with.

-Priyanka and Lana adopt twins and Priyanka will not stop buying clothes for them. There’s actually a spending limit put in place to how much Priyanka can spend but their kids do look like absolute models.

-All of the kids would have mega sports days, and a few of them asked Liam to play with them

-At first Liam would make excuses but them Cole would just say an offhanded comment about how Liam sucks at sports and Liam would be like, ‘Oh hell no’

-Ruby lost count about how many times Liam got bashed in the head. 

If anyone wants to add Sam and Lucas kids, please add on!!

TDM Characters if they played Minecraft

Whenever Ruby is struggling to sleep, which is often, she just plays video games and at some point she gets into Minecraft and plays games like Bedwars but she gets super competitive

One day Liam wakes up and finds her angrily whispering at her screen because she was super close to winning

Sometimes Liam plays with her just to be supportive except he has no clue what he's doing and just admires Ruby whenever she wins a Bedwars game

Chubs is a strategic speedrunner and keeps trying to find ways to beat his records and uses that big brain of his

Zu plays in survival and does chill things like pick flowers, build cottagecore houses and raise bees

Vida stays away from Minecraft, she's too busy doing hot girl shit like exploding houses to play video games

Except one day Chubs convinces her to play in survival with him and she becomes aggressive against all the move and lowkey scares Chubs with all her insults at them

Jude streams a minecraft let's play and although only his friends really watch it, he enjoys it a lot and uses streamer slang despite how cringey the rest of the group finds it

Tdm incorrect quotes as things I said

Vida : You look cute, like a dead panda.

Jude : Just had to stop myself from eating a pencil.

Ruby : An hour is a lot of time, you can overthrow a government in an hour.

Nico : Death is coming for us all. Wednesday 3:50. Don't forget to bring snacks!

Chubs : I didn't kick them, I gently threw them.

Liam : You know what... Chicken nuggets.

In the Afterlight Review

5/5 stars Recommended for people who like: dystopian, found families, psychic powers, inner group conflict, impossible decisions After where we left off at the end of NF, ITA opens up in a very distinctly apocalyptic setting. The series has always vaguely had that feel in the way most near-future dystopian books do, but the EMP and bombing of LA tipped the scale further into apocalypse territory. I enjoyed how Bracken really explored the vision of a bombed-out LA and the impacts that might have on suburbs like Burbank. Something about the image of burned, shelled cars and brick rubble and abandoned shops just does something for me in terms of settings, aesthetic, and mood. I think, in this case, it works quite well to set the tone of the first bit of the book. The second setting is pretty neat too. It’s another League location in California, but a bit farther north. The place is like a huge compound with secret rooms as well as tunnels connecting it to different locations. It’s the perfect place to hide a bunch of kids while you’re planning an action against, say, the ‘rehabilitation’ camps Psi kids are kept in. Aside from suiting the purposes of the characters, this second setting also visualizes the divide that starts to occur between what’s left of the League in CA, with some (most) of them hanging out in the Garage, which is separated from the main portion of the compound by a long tunnel, and those that are left mostly sticking to the main part of the compound. The Garage is definitely cooler visually, I’ll say that, but the ideology and plans of those who hang out there is a little too optimistic for reality. With this as the last book dedicated to Ruby’s story, it’s mostly about closing out her arc. After LA, she wants so desperately to do the right thing by everyone and is stretching herself so thin it’s no wonder certain stuff ends up happening. She’s much more in-tune with her powers, though she still doesn’t like using them and still wants a cure. I like how things go for her in this one, for the most part. I feel bad for her in this one more so than the others. She’s so down in the dumps and so few people see it, like, I think Liam picks up on it, but it’s only really addressed when they have some down time together, which is neverand then the only other one to really mention her emotional mood is Zu. So, Ruby basically has a boyfriend who’s as busy and her and a 13-year-old to discuss her mental state with….not great options. With all her issues on her powers and the insecurities that come with that, added into the mess with Jude and dealing with Clancy and the issue with the League agents and wrangling everyone, it just gets to be a lot and I feel so bad for her. One thing I am not too pleased about is her and Liam’s arguments and distance. Like…the entire thing is just so dumb and takes up multiple chapters, and then it’s resolved in one and they’re all peachy-keen again, which makes me wonder if the tension between them really needed to last as long as it did (but I’ve decided to blame exhaustion, stress, and Clancy for this one). Speaking of Liam…I’m not really sure what to think of him in this one. He’s definitely gung-ho for helping other kids and making sure that the camps are shut down, but his plans for going about it lack the teeth that they had in TDM (and, ironically, his OG plans are the ones Ruby builds on and he disagrees with, so…). I can’t tell if he’s just reeling from everything that happened in NF or if it’s just a weird character change that makes him inclined to think that a media storm will successfully bring the camp system down or what. His change in plan combined with his dislike of Cole, his distrust for the League, and Ruby’s own insecurities, just leads to him coming out as quick to irritate in this one. I will give him the fact that having your memory stolen and then regifted would be extremely jarring and invasive. I get why he writes the note, and I get why he’d be touchy and angry about that, but the rest of the stuff is just, I’m pretty sure, just his judgement getting clouded. Not to mention, he’s a hell of a lot more reckless, though we are seeing things through Ruby’s POV and he could always have been exceedingly careful, so there’s that. Outside of those interrelated changes, he is largely still the super sweet, super supportive, protective Liam we saw in TDM and NF. Even when he is fighting with Ruby, or even later with Cole, he still wants to understand and combine ideas instead of dismissing them out of turn. Chubs is once-again stuck between his two friends and hates it, though he does his best to work with them. I feel like Chubs gets a lot more mature in this one and faces things with a wiser attitude than he did before. I mean, he was always the more cautious one of the bunch but he just got an extra layer of professionalism added to him throughout this book. He seems a lot more at ease with life and with himself, which was good to see. On the other side of the spectrum, we get to see a much more emotional Vida than we have before. Sure, in NF we saw her angry plenty, but here there’s a mix of sadness and grief and desperation and camaraderie and support we didn’t get in the previous book. Her walls break down a lot more and she’s willing to admit that she’d prefer to talk about what happened to Jude rather than just shove it down and away like everyone else seems inclined to do. She also starts a surprisingly tight friendship with Zu, and the two of them are definitely a force. Zu comes in about a third- to halfway through the book. I love Zu, she’s such a great character personality-wise, but she also has a way of cutting right to the center of things and helping people. She may be young, only 13 in this one, but she’s go the insight of someone much older. What happened in the novella In Time has clearly impacted her when she first comes into ITA, but she slowly and steadily overcomes it, learning and helping those around her and letting them boost her in return. She grows a lot as a character, and it was awesome to read. Nico is an interesting character, since he was in NF, but it was difficult to really get a feel for who he was as a character in that one. Here, we see he has a lot of regret over what happened in LA, and he’s working to reconcile the Clancy he used to know to the person Clancy is now. Nico’s unflinchingly loyal, but he’s come to realize he put his money on the wrong horse and is struggling to make it up to everyone. Clancy’s still a piece of work and none of his character development comes internally, it’s all external. We do get to meet his mom, though, and combined with what we know of President Gray….well, it just explains a lot. Okay, it’s kind of spoilery, but I absolutely adore the entire thing Ruby has going on once she’s back in Thurmond. She goes back in and she’s struggling so much with the feelings of fear and absolute terror the place instill in her, plus the worry that the plan won’t work because the people on the other side won’t come or won’t come in time, just makes the fact she fights through it all that much better. I wish her reunion with Sam was a little better, though, I did want there to be a bigger thing with them, but whatever, we get that in Beyond the Night. My favorite scene from this collection of chapters is when Ruby’s in the control tower with O’Ryan and just snaps on his ass. It’s great. Of the main three books—TDM, NF, and ITA—this one comes in as my second favorite, with TDM as the first and NF as the last. The settings are, once again, fantastic, and I love a lot of the plot and events that occur in this book. I do think that Ruby and Liam fighting as much as they do only to have an insta-make-up was not great (though I do have my suspicions that they’re issues were exacerbated by Clancy manipulating Ruby. Ever notice how the two times he does it large-scale, she’s also separated emotionally, and generally physically, from (primarily) Liam and the others? My hunch is Clancy saw how well it worked the first time and used his Orange powers to manipulate it into happening again). Overall, ITA is a good ending to the series and I’m pretty satisfied with it all around. Clancy Story in 2018 Edition 5/5 stars The story picks up from when Ruby went to see Clancy at the end of ITA. The collection is basically a run-through of Clancy’s worst moments. There are some of them, like when he and Hayes and Olivia find East River to establish it that aren’t too bad. Then there are others, like the ones where he’s strapped to a table getting experimented on, that are downright awful. Most of them fall somewhere in between. The way it’s set up, I believe it’s a reverse chronological order of Clancy’s memories. The first one is from ITA, when he tells Ruby that she’s the one who tipped off the PSFs about the Sawtooth camp, and the last one is from when he’s pretty little, probably around three or four. I like that, as we progress through the story and the memories, we also get to see how Clancy’s warped mind was built up bit by bit. As a child, he obviously has little malice other than when it comes to protecting himself from others. As time goes on and he’s experimented on, that malice and cruelty grows into what it is in the first memory. Aside from the way we’re seeing each memory erase based on how recent it is, I love how Bracken chose to end each scene with “a heartbeat, and it’s gone.” There’s just something about that line, about the speed and finality of it that I just love. Nico features in most of the memories, so we get to see how Clancy, in his own weird way, does have feelings for the other boy. Clancy doesn’t have full-blown romantic feelings about Nico, or even what I’d necessarily call a crush, but he definitely is attached to him and Nico holds sway. I think this might be my favorite ‘exclusive short’ of the bunch. It’s a combo of the formatting of the piece and the way we get to see inside Clancy’s head and watch his development into the person he is in the TDM series that makes it one of my favorites.

Note: Since Through the Dark is just a bind-up of the novellas, it’s coming out on Saturday and TDL’s review will be coming out next Wednesday

Clancy: If an Orange got into your mind and did the flash-thingy, what images would they see?There would be a lot of images of me and my mom, long drives and concerts I’ve somehow convinced her to go to. A lot of my best friend, walking and barely registering time passing. My sister annoying me and vice versa. A lot of reading. Not enough studying. A surprising amount of eating. Cate: Favourite minor character?the problem with TDM is that the minor characters that you love don’t feel minor. Like, is Jude technically a minor character? Probably, but he /feels/ major. Also Nico deserves better, that boy needs a HUG. And also for Clancy to be kept 999999999 miles away from him. Thank you for the ask boo!!🖤

Jude, Cate, Olivia

Jude - Did you learn any life lessons from TDM?: Man, TDM has taught me so dang much… TDM has taught me that minivans are glorious and should be cherished. TDM has taught me that bravery and strength and vulnerability and weakness can be synonymous, and that it’s okay to let them be just that. TDM has taught me to grow like Ruby, seek the good like Liam, spew sass and never stop asking questions like Chubs, and speak up like Zu.

Cate - Favourite minor character?: Does Jude count? Does Cole? If they’re major in your heart, can they be considered a minor character?

Olivia - Favourite book?: The Darkest Minds, my friend. Road trips, a stellar soundtrack, and a scene where Liam tries to give Ruby socks? Sign me the hell up.

TDM AU Headcanons

Ok I have tons of ideas about the tdm characters in high school.

- ‘Ruby straight A’s Daly’

-Liam would suck at sports but has so much enthusiasm he would be a school mascot, I will not back down from this opinion.

-Cole would be a jock and everyone loves him, and is best friends Ruby.

-Claire and Zu would be best friends, they would go everywhere together

-Chubs, would be neck and neck with Clancy for student body president, and would be super uptight.

-Vida would be a badass jock, like probably captain of 5 sport teams or smth

-Ruby loves to tutor kids and ends up tutoring Jude and Zu 

-Liam the first time he sees Ruby would be super nervous like, ‘Hey- I’m um, you’re- uh Ruby- nice eyes. 

-Ruby would giggle and blush and secretly love it

-Liam would start this nerdy band with Chubs called ‘Black Betty’ and print out 50 T shirts, and stuff them in random people’s lockers while Chubs has to apologise for his maniacal friend.

-Cole would drive a motorcycle to school every day, ngl

-Teachers getting mixed up with Cole and Liam ALL THE TIME.

-Chubs would start a hundred clubs like ‘paramedics club’ and ‘stitching taken seriously club’

-Chubs and Ruby would meet at a book club and would bond ever since.

-Clancy trying to flirt with Ruby who gets so annoyed and finally falls for Liam.

-Cole making fun of his best friend and his goofy little brother non stop.

-Vida and Chubs would shock the whole school. Vida would kiss him in front of everybody and not give a damn while Chubs is just standing there, getting so flustered

-Liam cheering for his best friend getting a girl and would say embarrassing stuff like ‘My Chubsie just moved up in the world!!’
