#sorry forgot those at first

alright. WHAT is a Raven Cycle. What is this story about. All this time seeing you pointed about these people, but it took me ages to figure out what the "trc" tag even stood for -- that poll you just reblogged in fact. I'm ready. Give me the pitch.

HI.

the raven cycle is a series of four books by maggie stiefvater: the raven boys, the dream thieves, blue lily lily blue, and the raven king. there is a follow-up trilogy called the dreamer trilogy made up of three books: call down the hawk, mister impossible, and greywaren.

(my 'cdth' tag is my tag for the sequel series, which i like even more than trc.)

it's a YA modern fantasy series set in a small town in rural virginia. the series focuses on a gang of five teenagers (a sixth joining in book 3/4) who are all dealing with various magic bullshit in their lives. one is looking for a dead welsh king along a ley line in the mountains of virginia, because legend says that the king can be woken and grant a wish.

the problem is that this boy, gansey, is going to die.

we know this because the one girl in the group (sorry women. there are more women in cdth i SWEAR), blue, saw his ghost on st mark's eve. which means he will die within the next year. why did she see his ghost?? because he's either her true love, or she killed him.

or, you know. both. if you're a girl who's cursed to kill your true love with a kiss. as she is.

blue does not want to kill anyone. blue also does not want gansey to be her true love. they get off on the wrong foot entirely and she decides he's the devil for a little while. blue is overall having a bad time with the world and her place in it and the fact that she's the only non-psychic person in a family of psychics, And Also She Doesn't Want To Kill Anyone.

so the question is -- for all four books -- what..... would make her kill gansey. how is gansey going to die.

gansey's three other closest friends are boys in varying states of emotional turmoil.

ronan, who is where my URL comes from, is a suicidal bipolar maniac alcoholic who spends all of his time trying to kill himself. and is also magic as fuck. and hiding it. and going out street racing with a guy who wants to eat him. and they're kind of fucking about it. they technically never fuck except like. they're kind of fucking about it

adam is a trailer trash kid paying his own way into the elite boarding school that gansey & ronan attend. his dad is physically abusive to the point of adam's life being in constant danger, but adam refuses to accept gansey's offers of help or safety, because he's determined that nobody else ever Own him.

noah is a quiet kid with a violent past that gansey cares about very deeply, getting into all of his backstory involves major book one spoilers but it is. Rough.

the plot points in the series are complicated to explain because there's a lot of mythology and strange worldbuilding and psychic bullshit and magic all going on and playing off each other. but the series is about these five kids being in a giant pseudo-polyamorous relationship and loving each other and hating each other and wanting each other and killing each other.

it has some of my favorite relationship arcs of all time in any media, ever, and also it like. taught me how to write. LOL. so if you're here from the owl house (??) or from a different fandom and you like how i talk about characters and how i write character conflicts and character arcs and character relationships....... U Get All Of That Shit In The Raven Cycle.

and that's it!

Wait another wizard 101 sufferer? Another lost soul sucked into the world's most entertaining grind-game? Another victim of the binge purge cycle where you want to do nothing but play followed by several months of just not caring? Another nostalgia-driven casual gamer reminiscing about when pvp was fun and not a toxic wasteland? Another with several dozen people in their friends list they wish to log in just once more when the binge purge cycles align?

oh i was a club penguin enjoyer. are u okay though

#????? is this because i mentioned wizard 101 as a joke on catmasks post???? i forgot about that #but if we're talking abt binge playing smth followed by several months of gutwrenching emptiness and nostalgia driven reminiscence #the only thing that comes to mind is minecraft PE hunger games. nothing else comes close to the blind rage and bloodshed #i remember seeing those chumps who bought premium with the gold podium and diamond axe before the game starts bc i would go #straight for their throats before they knew what hit them and then id have a diamond axe for the rest of the game LOL #ive. never actually played wizard 101 my brother just sends me shitposts abt it so its the first thing i thought of trying to be funny #sorry if i got your hopes up 😔 id give u my penguins friend code but. well #ask #yapping #answered

i wanted to draw sage again after i beat the game, but i kept forgetting to do that until just now...ah well better late than never or something

...also psst a spoilers version.  yes i know its been a month since the game came out already im putting it under the read more anyway. don’t worry about it

Damn...she got autobalanced... 

#my art #sonic frontiers #sonic the hedgehog #sage #i still dont know how we tag this character is just the name fine... #she doesnt have a title...... #also i forgot to pull up a reference until after already doing the sketch so i failed to properly reflect #how giant and weird her hair is she's got spherehead. sorry for flattening it a little bit. #also i gave her white eyelashes because i think when ingame screenshots of her were first being released #i briefly thought that she had white eyelashes. but then more of those came out and i think it turned out to just be weird lighting. #but i thought it was cool so i colored them like that anyways... #also to be able to make an alternate coloring of this i had to make it have like 1 billion layers csp got really mad about it. sorry. #sth #<-- i keep forgetting i have that tag for my own organization. whcih kinda defeats the prupose

watching astarion's horde of undead summons follow us around is the funniest thing to me. just another day in baldur's gate, citizens, nothing to worry about here! carry on and don't mind the smell of rotting flesh!

#bg3 #thoughts about media #sorry you want to hit my vampire? you'll have to go through his dragon blooded boyfriend and 7 undead summons first. #oh and shovel. I finally learned who shovel is. by accidentally binding her to astarion lol. #apparently she can be a proper familiar if you summon her in the apothecary's cellar and carry out a dialogue.... #so next playthrough! mister vampire of my heart! you can have her as your familiar. since you both love murder so much. #oh and I made wyll a warlock/ranger. so HE has summons too. and I can pretend the wolf summon is lily T___T #usually I bring halsin with us. and he ALSO has summons- elementals. something a little different! less bitey.... #shadowheart is here this time because we just finished the house of grief. #and good GRIEF. i forgot how fucking unfun fighting viconia and her drove of debbie downers is. #corydalis used like almost all his sorcery points. astarion had to use explosives at one point. wyll clutched with silence. #shadowheart's sanctuary SUPER helpful to keep hits off people who needed healing. #and by god did those zombies do work.
