#trc reread 2022

[aaronstveit]

the raven cycle is hilarious because blue and gansey are living in a coming of age romcom and adam and ronan are living in a supernatural horror film and then when they all hang out it immediately turns into an 80s treasure hunting brotherhood flick. and then they go their separate ways and adam and ronan immediately start battling the horrors again while blue and gansey eat yogurt

mid year book freak out tag

thank you for tagging me @gorgxoxus! 💗

best book you've read so far in 2022: A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. It is also probably the best book I've EVER read so. yeah :')

best sequel you're read so far in 2022: The Dragon Republic by R.F.Kuang

new release you haven't read yet but want to: I Kissed Shara Wheeler! and also Portrait of a Thief

most anticipated release of the second half of the year: Babel by R.F. Kuang. I will not breathe until I read this book. The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake is also a really anticipated one

biggest disappointment: lmao sooo many, but the biggest one is probably On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

biggest surprise: probably The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon?? I didn't expect to like this book much but oh my god it was so good, it's become one of my favourite SFF books of all time

favorite new author: R.F. Kuang. if she writes it, I will read it

newest fictional crush: Libby Rhodes from The Atlas Six

newest favourite character: Jude St. Francis

book that made you cry: yeah A Little Life which I still cry over 4 months after reading it. but History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera made me tear up a bit! and so did The Burning God by R.F.Kuang. and as someone who doesn't usually cry at books I'm counting it 🤡

book that made you happy: I- genuinely don't remember because I don't really read happy books 😭

the most beautiful book you've read this year: Crier's War by Nina Varela

books you need to read by the end of the year: I don't really stick to any tbr but some books I'd like to read by the end of the year are The Vanishing Half, The Great Believers, The Danish Girl, The Mask Falling, To Paradise, Mexican Gothic

i was rereading some of my old posts on a whim and now I’ve made myself deeply emotional about Gansey and his friends because like... I said once how in TRB, Ronan and Adam have this interesting dynamic where they still don’t seem to actually like each other very much, yet they understand each other much better than Gansey appears to understand either of them. I think there’s mutual recognition that they are each, at their cores, uncompromising; mutual comprehension that they can’t be shaped into anything other than what they are or (in Adam’s case especially) what they want to be. 

Adam and Ronan don’t appear to like each other much in TRB, but they respect each other – and Gansey respects them no less! He cares deeply about his friends, he trusts them more than anyone else, and he feels the least himself when he’s forced away from them. Gansey’s respect and love for his friends is undeniable.

Yet, he’s perpetually running headlong into their uncompromising natures. 

And it’s not that he’s unaware of who his friends are, it’s not that he’s consciously trying to force them to be what they’re not. No, what’s kicking me in the heart today is that “fixing things,” smoothing things over and making it all look okay, is how Gansey was taught to care. 

Gansey’s first instinct, always, whether it’s his own actions or someone else’s life, is to reduce the amount of fuss and commotion. This is his anxiety and his masking, this is how his WASP family operates. “Fixing” the problem without actually addressing the cause, hiding the issue, smoothing things over for polite company, minimizing the impact, that IS the way the Ganseys show that they care. WASPs are deeply subtextual in how they express a lot of feelings (source: knowing my WASP-adjacent mom for my whole life and still learning how to correctly interpret her many layers of subtext). Care is often implicit, communicated quietly through actions but rarely expressed outright. 

The difference between Gansey and his family is that his family fundamentally doesn’t understand him, making their care for him very abstract at best and disconnected from the reality of who he is, while Gansey’s love for his friends is deep and true. When Gansey tries to “fix” Adam or Ronan’s lives, he’s not being his parents in intention – he’s NOT merely trying to sweep the truth under the rug to hide something difficult from polite company. He is truly, genuinely, attempting to help, and he means well. But he still emulates his parents’ in actions, because it’s what he knows how to do. 

And that’s where the critical miscommunication lies: Because Gansey’s friends can’t see gestures that so run counter to who they are as expressions of care, and Gansey can’t (yet) recognize that he’s copying the same behaviors that have made him feel so stifled in his own family. And thus his confusion and anxiety, as his gestures are rejected, is genuine as well.

My #1 post of 2022

there’s almost no way that Stief would leak major top-shelf plot spoilers on social media because (1) that’s unhinged (2) Scholastic’s publicity team WILL hunt her for sport over it if she did, but the implications of Adam asking Ronan if he’s the Lace NOT being a major plot spoiler are still absolutely BANANAS. like good golly what’s the wild ride we’re gonna go on just to get to the point where Adam feels like he has to ask that and it’s NOT EVEN the cornerstone of the plot???? cannot wait to absolutely lose it reading this book.

2, 3, 20 for the book ask thing!

hiii kat!

2. Did you reread anything? What?

i most certainly did. actually a good chunk (too much) of my 2022 reading was just books i've read before including aftg, trc (first two) and all 12 of the vampire academy books. that's 17 out of 55. or 30%

3. What were your top five books of the year?

oh this one's easy. transcendent kingdom; yaa gyasi || a place for us; fatima farheen mirza || these violent delights; micah nemerever || giovanni’s room; james baldwin || burnt sugar; avni doshi 

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?

greywaren; maggie stiefvater. and honestly? it was better than i expected but also worse. not nearly enough adam parrish, who is the love of my life and at the very center of ronan's story. but i can't complain too much bc i did get a very satisfying conclusion to the lynch brothers' story and maybe thats all i could ask for

send me numbers from here! (or make up ur own question)

#im going to take a nap but send me these so i can tell u about stuff i've read before i enter my 2023 reading era #ella-enchanted #answered

[eternalsummer2006]

why am I wanting to reread trc in 2022 😩

#講話

[ronanessy]

it's funny reading trc and gansey's all "oh the infinite possibilities of the future" like yeah dude, sure... the 'future'... where ur gonna end up tied to a tree in oregon and most definitely passed tf out cos ronan got into another dreamer fight and lost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#trc reads a lot more painful this time i'll admit #oh so young and full of hope #*tdt reread 2021 #< ok ik it's 2022 but i Did start it in 2021 and the holidays got in the way so... #for the sake of consolidation i'm gonna keep the tag

[meteorcrab]

2022 give me strength to rewatch tiger & bunny and gundam 00 and to reread TRC

#you know what will happen instead? #I'll rewatch opm and haikyuu #not tf

[caterpills]

for the book ask: 2, 4, 20 :)

2. Did you reread anything? What?

It may come as no surprise that I did reread Call Down the Hawk before Mister Impossible came out this year. I usually do a full TRC reread during the year but my mental stamina is not what it used to be. 2022 will be different though!

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

I finally read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas this year (which feels like it was 80 years ago in pandemic time) and I supremely loved his debut. Also, Ashley Shuttleworth's A Dark and Hollow Star hit all the notes I love with a YA fantasy, so I'm looking forward to the sequel in 2022. And it's weird because I loved Freya Marske's A Marvellous Light, but I technically already followed her from fandom-related things so it was like a rediscovery? Does that count?

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?

Again, no surprise, but Mister Impossible has been eagerly on my list. And it surpassed every expectation. There were so many fan theories and speculation out there (from myself, included) and almost none of it was right. But that's what makes Maggie Stiefvater's writing so stellar—infinite possibilities but the truth, or in this case canon, is even better. Like, fuck, it was so good.

(Also omg, hiiiii, I hope you're doing well!!!)
