sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?
i kind of wish the raven cycle tv show happened because i want to watch adam parrish tiktok edits #speakingmytruth
rip gansey you wouldve loved a dramatic covert movie death. coughing blood into a little hankerchief and sadly hiding it in his jacket. bleeding out from a gunshot wound he's covered up this whole time. and so forth.
declan lynch has the spirit of depressed a ballerina but also a retired show horse
“Adam finally sat down on one of the pews. Laying his cheek against the smooth back of it, he looked at Ronan. Strangely enough, Ronan belonged here, too, just as he had at the Barns.
This noisy, lush religion had created him just as much as his father's world of dreams; it seemed impossible for all of Ronan to exist in one person. Adam was beginning to realize that he hadn't known Ronan at all. Or rather, he had known part of him and assumed it was all of him. The scent of Cabeswater, all trees after rain, drifted past Adam, and he realized that while he'd been looking at Ronan, Ronan had been looking at him.”
i just have to post these here bc i think about this DAILY
Adam Parrish being the best student in the best prep school. Adam Parrish working three jobs to afford that prep school. Adam Parrish enduring years of domestic abuse without complaint. Adam Parrish suing his abusive father to save his best friend. Adam Parrish going to the court hearing without a single witness and fully expecting to lose. Adam Parrish working his ass off to get out of his small town and poor pedigree. Adam Parrish trying to be gentle when angry because he didn't want to be his father. Adam Parrish formulating a murder plan to get rid of big bad villain. Adam Parrish planning to use his one favour to save Gansey.
Adam Parrish doing all that thinking he is worthless and coward.
i'm being so serious when i say that this book warped my perception of what any sort of relationship should look like. is it healthy to want to exclusively feel soul-crushing love for the friends you choose or to know you would absolutely give up every single piece of yourself to them if they asked? probably not, but nothing else feels worth any effort and maggie stiefvater is to blame for that.
call me gansey the way i heart adam parrish am i right
in a magical forest. straight up “killing it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. My Latin Teacher
friendly reminder that there is not a single straight person in the raven cycle. all of them are gay, i don't make the rules :/
“Hey, tiger.”
I miss bluesey
ayee call me gansey the third the way everything I say comes off wrong
the dream thieves is the most perfect book ever because adam and gansey are going through a divorce, blue is breaking up with adam, ronan lets go of his crush on gansey in favor of perusing his para-religious devotion to adam full time, kavinsky is obsessed with having a threesome with gansey and ronan and sends gansey a dick pic from ronan’s phone, gansey starts dating blue behind adam's back the second they're freshly divorced and adam and blue have broken up, ronan turns kavinsky down and as a reaction to that kavinsky kidnaps ronans brother and then kills himself in front of their whole group. everyone is completely unfazed by this except for gansey who seems to care a little bit which adam thinks is cute. it's also in this book that the hitman who killed ronan’s dad starts hitting on blue’s mom. sound off in the comments if you know of any other ya books similar to this
it's autumn, time to reread trc <3
