#like obviously bryde doesn't get a free pass or anything

[genderfcker]

head empty just thinking about bryde and how ronan subconsciously dreamed bryde up to give himself a purpose, and how bryde was supposed to give ronan all the answers and know everything. but ronan doesn't know everything about dreaming, so how could bryde ever know everything? their whole little wild goose chase to fix the ley lines really is one, because their party are all just stumbling around the dreamer side of the world and pulling at strings.

and if bryde was made to serve as the all-knowing mentor that ronan never got (that should have been niall, but niall died too soon for ronan to ever get that) but the entirety of the dreamer trilogy is about how dreams become more than dreams and are their own people, then what must have been going through his head every time ronan and hennessy turned to him looking for advice he could probably just barely give? when bryde took that sweetmetal and woke up when the dreamed world slept, was that one of the first times he was actually selfish? the first time he was more than ronan's mentor?

#bryde #ronan lynch #tdt #the dreamer trilogy #mi #cdth #like obviously bryde doesn't get a free pass or anything #he really did manipulate ronan #BUT #he also was dreamed up to serve as a mentor figure #he was supposed to be the guy that knew things #i would kill for a short story or a chapter in greywaren that's from bryde's perspective and shows his thoughts #especially during the road trip with hennessy and ronan #like #did he always know? #was there a point where bryde just sat there and realized oh god. ronan dreamt me #or did he know the moment he saw ronan #did he pop into the world with the knowledge that he was dreamed up by ronan lynch #and that it was his responsibility to show ronan how to dream and how to fix the ley lines
