#orla helen declan like...?

[kidspawn]

"Adam's type" and its just a picture of each of his friends siblings

[tessasilverswan]

oh no realizing that must have sucked. at least we remember him :(

hmm i don't think i could pick just one but i definitely have opinions on most if not all of them (under the cut bc i sure love to keep adding words to sentences)

what are yours?

the gray man and gwenllian are definitely up there. his narration is unique and interesting and i love his arc (and also. the adam–mr gray parallels are fascinating). gwenllian is at times incredibly annoying but i love her. i feel sorry she was buried with glendower when the decoy grave could have been literally anyone. she kicked ass and now deserves to get a weird hobby. henry appeared out of nowhere but i adopted him as fast as gansey & blue did. my boy. kavinsky is also interesting because he's not a good person but he has absolutely no large-scale relevance. he's just a mean wet rat. and so lonely. declan as the uptight oldest sibling is very dear to me, and opal is a cute feral animal i want to look at but not touch. i ABSOLUTELY ADORE calla. jimi is a sweetheart. i like persephone's vibes. seondeok is badass. i aspire to be half as competent & efficient as helen one day

i don't dislike maura as a person, but i wish i got more from her character than "lax mom". i don't think orla's despicable but i don't really like her either. the greenmantles i found annoying, piper somewhat less so, but colin is just like a cornered cartoon villain throwing around empty threats. malory was refreshing, but at one point i was like "what's he even doing in the states other than occasionally converse with gansey and irritate ronan?" the concept of the laumonier three-person entity (laumoniercerberos? now i'm imagining the 3 heads fighting for space in the mirror to talk to piper sorry XD) was interesting but i wish they had been scarier. this one might get me burned at the stake but i find matthew a bit flat. neeve, they could never make me form an opinion about you. i think i'm siding with gwenllian regarding artemus; he feels too small to have spawned blue, though i guess becoming a tree at will is pretty cool

something else i just realized about why i find trc so poetic is that maggie keeps giving importance to things and then actually delivers on them. threes are important? everything comes in threes. time is not linear but circular? most if not all of the characters have circular storylines or themes. for gansey & noah it's described explicitly, but the others' are too. ronan bc he's both a dreamer and a dream (one of the wiki page spoilers). then adam, with his fear of losing control & hurting his loved ones like his father, being made to hurt the gangsey (except it's a demon and it's not him but the point still stands). i need to think more about blue but so far the being a tree kid to "no, really, she's actually a tree kid" pipeline is also very on the nose. everything is connected and most of the times that connexion goes back in on itself to make a cute little circle. and i find this very satisfying because otherwise the main idea or thesis of time being circular would just feel like mystical mumbo-jumbo

time being circular is so important to the storyline and i love how maggie doesn’t just say it for the sake of saying it but it’s actually connected to the storyline in a meaningful way and she finds ways to bring it back up and intertwine it in the plot (and then when i think back to that last noah chapter when it said he was like jus reliving a timeline it makes me crazy because like. all of this has already happened as it’s happening yk?)

all of the repeated motifs and symbols are also some of my favorite parts of rereading- like each of the cars and home settings reflecting back on the characters (eg the trailer, monmouth, the barns, st Agnes, fox way, litchfield house etc and then all of the cars) and then also as cars representing relationships and all that

all of your thoughts are so cool please never stop telling them to me (i want your brain)

[imgoingtoeatyourknees]

My uncensored opinions on TRC characters:

Gansey: as a character? sir I would die for you. if I EVER met him irl I would throw him down the stairs. pretentious lookin ass

Ronan: I relate to him spiritually. i too am gay, dress like a punk, and want to live on a farm

Adam: I love him but WE GET IT, YOURE POOR

Blue: in the most loving way possible, the "I'm not like other girls" thing kinda grates on my nerves. still love her and her fun little fashion sense

Noah: all round great guy. if his soul wasnt decaying I think he'd have a jolly old time

Henry: good character, but he always seemed like it was Maggie's way of putting the only diversity in an all white group (I always hc adam and blue as mixed but maggie never explicit stated that)

orla: step on me hot tall lady

helen gansey: diagnosed with boss bitch disease

declan: straight white man :(

[parelmoer]

I feel like we’ve all collectively suffered through enough american actors doing their own horrible take on the ‘russian’ accent. So if trc is turned into a tv series and I’ll have to suffer through more maggie stiefvater related content, than kavinsky HAS to be played by an eastern european actor, preferably an actual bulgarian.

[rotzaprachim]

on the subject of older siblings in TRC i think there was absolutely some kind of bizarre triangle but like. declan and helen do not get on but she did make out with him once at like fifteen to try it out and realised she was a lesbian. they keep a cordial but nothing more relationship and sometimes run into each other at political events even though declan interns for the senator running against helen’s mom. orla and declan had a purely physical relationship for a summer on account of there not being that many other reasonably fit people abouts in a town that small. orla DID end up picking up an ashley and they’re in a semi commited open relationship sort of. 

[seekthemist]

GANSEY....

I knew I could trust you on this!!!

So, this is about the Give Me a Character ask game, and I’m ready for destruction!

How I feel about this character

He’s such a dramatic, mentally twisted disaster, how can I NOT love him dearly? True talk though, Gansey in my opinion had a great “peel this multilayer onion” reveal through the books. At the beginning you have him as the Obvious Endgame Love Interest and the Goofy Leader, but then all the idiosyncrasies came up and it was impossible not to like him. And then there is the final rush of “I would do everything for my friends but they don’t want it and they don’t need me” and BABY YOU GOT ME IN YOUR CORNER FOR LIFE!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

(Nervous laughter) I’m a terminal multishipper, asking me this is like getting a shopping list...But okay, whatever! I mean, for sure Ronan, Adam, Blue, and Henry (all together or in whichever mix and match you might desire them). Declan as well as far as I’m concerned (and I think he could join into some Ashley stuff, more sexytime then romantic 1.0). He could also end up in a dubious Fox Way sandwich with Orla and Blue because why not, he’s stressed, he deserves some fun (more sexytime then romantic 2.0).  Basically, JUST TRY ME!

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Noah for sure! And I also really liked the messy relationship between Gansey and Helen (which shows from the way I write them probably). And I like to think of Gansey and the 300 Fox Way ladies too, I think there is potential for the “You’re now The Boyfriend which means we get to bully you even MORE”

My unpopular opinion about this character

People sometime acts as if Gansey is either a genius mastermind or a total disaster. He’s very clever, very well-studied and also a disaster and all things should be balanced equally. Also, the general Blusey “soulmate true love” thing never really cracked it for me, the canon material has him too strongly codependent on the whole ensemble of people for getting the one girlfriend and that’s it. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Correlated to the previous one, obviously and predictably, GIVE HIM THE POLYCULE HE SO CLEARLY CRAVES. At the very least a Sarchensey, I’m not picky. Also, I wish we could have seen him going more deranged, or got more glimpses of absolutely dysfunctional coping mechanisms and/or batshit crazy ways to obtain information. Because I really think HE WOULD.

[brophigenia]

pegging! Idc who, whoever you feel like, but the world needs more pegging fic tbh

you’re my kill of the night 

Orla was a visual person. 

She liked loud patterns: tiger, zebra, cheetah.

She liked bright colors that stood out against her cinnamon-brown skin: pink, orange, green.

She liked shimmering cocktail rings and sleekly-feathered cockatoos. 

Especially, she liked the flush of blood beneath skin. 

Declan Lynch was the pride of the Emerald Isle, tall and strong and fair. Dark curls. Strong nose. 

Deliciously pale skin, so susceptible to blushing.

“You’re so pretty,” she sighed, thrusting her hips forward, admiring the bright coral leather straps that wound around her, holding the dildo in place. 

Declan swallowed, groaning thinly in his throat, opening his mouth like he was going to protest. She cut him off with a roll of her hips and a firm stroke of his cock where it bounced, flushed and temptingly thick, against his flexing abs. 

Oh, he was so handsome. 

She’d seen him across the room at sweet Dicky’s graduation party and just... 

wanted. 

Orla wasn’t ever much one for denying herself. 

She smiled, and dragged her fingers through the puddle of pre-come pooling near Declan’s navel, pressing those same fingers into Declan’s hanging-open mouth. He was so undone, like this, swallowing her fingers down deeper and deeper, until his throat was fluttering around the tips. 

“Are you going to finish anytime soon?” Helen asked, archly, from her prim perch across the room, disdainfully settled upon a lime green zebra print stool in her nice black dress and sensible-but-sexy heels. 

“No,” Orla answered honestly, and flashed another, sharper grin over her shoulder at her sometimes-girlfriend, who was not so uncouth as to blush on her cheeks, but instead on her chest, hidden beneath the high neckline of her ensemble. “Do you want a turn, baby?” 

Declan moaned, pressing his palms over his eyes, Orla’s saliva-soaked fingers falling from those plush lips.

“Oh, sweetheart,” Orla cooed, stroking over his nipples and his belly. “You like the sound of that, huh?” 

“He used to have the worst crush on me.” Helen confided, still in that disinterested tone. It couldn’t have been better if she had been sitting there filing her fingernails. Orla loved Helen when she was playing this game, Ice Queen of the Gansey Dynasty. 

(She loved Helen all the time, but especially now.) 

“Really? Shocker.” Orla giggled, tossing her head so she could get the sweaty curls out of her eyes. It didn’t work, and she resigned herself to the annoyance before hearing Helen cross the carpet, muffled but measured footsteps. 

“Messy.” Helen whispered, cool breath and Chanel Gabrielle, coaxing riotous curls into a high puff atop Orla’s head, kissing her swiftly beneath the same ear she’d whispered in.

She half-wished that Helen would stay, instead of going back to her seat. That she’d join Orla on the bed, curl her fingers into Declan’s mussed black curls and draw his open mouth between her slim runner’s thighs. 

This was good, too, though. Wrecking this pretty boy with Helen’s eyes on her- only on her. Uninterested, ultimately, in all of Declan Lynch, with his handsomeness and his fortune and his heteronormative value.

Orla laughed, and kept on with the show. 

Helen was a visual person, too, after all. It was something they had in common. 

[crimeronan]

They all come together to make fun of the gangsey (including Hennessy) like the older and more mature siblings they are.

re: declan/orla/helen/jordan

LOVE IT.  also love how easy it is to kin assign jordan eldest sibling.  hennessy gets to be part of the gangsey and jordan gets to be part of the very tired older sibling/cousin crowd and then the older sibling/cousin crowd gets to form a terrible polycule in which they’re all equally neurotic and annoying but very in love

6:59 - Orla: OH or that OTHER other silly friend who always asks me when I plan to get married already because TICK TOCK TICK TOCK?!?!? YEAH RUB IT IN ARSEHOLE

7:00 - Declan: Yeah, and then I go off and DO make that damn kid they all wanted so bad and THAT WASN’T GOOD EITHER 🙄

.-

“It’s the last straw! I’m done! I’m over it!” Blue stabs the spoon into her yogurt, teeth clenched, and knuckles white. Adam, like the good friend he is, just calmly slides it out of her hand and gives her a banana instead.

“She’s not that bad of a roommate,” he tells her with a one armed shrug. The look she shoots him can only be described as the personification of betrayal. Adam can’t believe it’s the third time he’s rolled his eyes at her and it hasn’t hit nine in the morning yet.

“They were naked Adam! Nude! Birthday suits!”

“The biblical state,” Henry tacks on and Blue nods along graciously.

Make it four times before nine in the morning.

“It’s Orla…. She’s eccentric

“It was on the couch! I sit on that couch Adam!” blue hits her hand against the table, fully indignant now.

“I really would recommend having it at the very least steam cleaned before partaking in that activity  again,” Henry advises sagely as he takes a sip of his coffee.

“Oh no! No way! I will never sit on that couch another day of my life!”

“Glad to see you’re taking this reasonably,” Adam says, voice blithe, as he brings their cereal bowls to the sink.

“Don’t start with me Adam! You haven’t seen the things I have! The freckles and birthmarks— The hair.” Blue shutters and henry slings an arm around her slim shoulders in comfort, clucking his tongue all the while.

Fifth…. It’s been the fifth time now.

“So how do you reckon you’ll live in there without sitting on the couch ever again?” He needles with a quirked brow, fully having decided to just fall into the dramatics. It’s always easier for him at the end of the day  when just excepting it.

“I’m moving out! Duh.”

“Oo, My Blueberry is becoming her very own American woman!” Henry preens. “Let me get you a chic new outfit Sabrina style!”

“That movie is sexist and culturally appropriates middle eastern garb.” Blue sniffs.

“Good to know that the new Blue has still got all her old spunk.”

“You’re both ridiculous,” Adam tells them, lips pinched.

“We bring bursts of color into your otherwise stale existence,” Blue argues loftily.

“Ridiculous,” Adam repeats with feeling.

“Lying doesn’t become you my dear Henrietta Prince,” Henry tells him far too frankly before turning his attention back to Blue. “You know you’ve got a place here if you want it.”

“Where?” Blue snorts. “In your living room?”

“Our couch doesn’t have naked Orla germs,” Adam offers halfheartedly. 

Blue just levels him with a unimpressed look, and Adam’s got flashbacks to junior year when Maura caught the pair of them getting drunk off Persephone’s peach wine coolers.

It’s terrifying.

“Charming. But no need, I’ve already begun sifting around for places nearby that are looking for a new roommate.”

Adam takes the papers she’s already printed off and begins shuffling through them.

“This one has like five cats,” he tells her with a curled lip.

“It sounds homey.”

“You’re allergic,” Adam rebukes. 

“I’m desperate Adam!” Blue reminds him.

“This one has a picture of him wearing a MAGA hat on his facebook profile pic,” Henry informs her, holding a second listing.

“Okay not that desperate,” Blue crumples it up and tosses it to the side. Adam would tell her to throw it in the trash like an adult but reasons she’s having a moment. 

“Mmm, what about this one,” she waves around the paper and Henry takes it to look over himself.

“It’s with three random dudes.”

“Three normal looking dudes,” Blue presses. “And so to reiterate, I’m desperate.”

“Ted Bundy was a normal looking dude,” Adam charges, making Blue glare at him menacingly.

“Adam I can still see flesh in my nightmares!”

Sixth, sixth time he’s rolled his eyes. Jesus fucking Christ Adam is gonna be sent to an early grave because of  an aneurism from them.

.-

The problem is that when Blue sets her mind on something, not even the angels above can dissuade  her from it, so that’s why Adam spends his Saturday afternoon— the only one he’s had off from a shoot in literally three months— driving to some sketch apartment with her and Henry, in the latter’s abrasively flashy sports car. 

He feels like a fraud.

“Blueberry are you sure you put in the right address?” Henry asks, face scrunched in confusion once they cruise into the open parking spot in front of a dilapidated looking  manufacturing building.

Blue flickers her eyes back down towards her phone before glancing up with a sure nod. 

“Look it says Monmouth right over there on the sign near the front door. This’s the right place.” 

“Right place to get murdered,” Adam intones darkly. 

Blue only tosses him a glare before slipping out.

“Are we bad people for going along with this?” Henry asks Adam, his mouth downturned in concern.

“Nah, we were bad people long before this.” Adam assures him wryly  before following suit.

.-

“I don’t want a new roommate,” Ronan tells Gansey for the third time in the past hour. In turn, Gansey only rolls his eyes before trying to stuff the old pizza boxes into the trash can. God fucking damn it, Helen’s right, they do live like pigs.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Noah contends. “It’ll bring some new energy in this place.”

“Oy, what did I tell you about saying shit like energy and chakras.”

“That’s it’s something a douche hipster would say and you’d throw me out a window if you heard it again.”

“And yet.”

“All I can say to that is dude you need to clear your chakras.” Noah says, fully goading, and making it so an unexpected laugh tears out of Ronan, the total prick.

“For the love that is all holy and right, will you two please just attempt to act normal when she gets here.”

“It’s a girl?”

“A girl with models as friends,” Noah perks, completely beaming. “And you know what that means,” Noah winks and Ronan, for the good of the public, cuffs him on the back of the head. Hard.

“You fucking sly dog, how do you even know that?”

“Preliminary interview through the phone,” Noah shrugs. “She sounds nice, better than living with that guy with a pet snake.”

“That snake was fucking cool.” Ronan argues.

“There’s a one pet limit here, and your raven has taken the slot.” Gansey huffs, hand on his hip like Aurora would do if Ronan and Declan were being especially rowdy. “And Noah don’t ask about her model friends, that’s creepy.”

“That’s kind of my shtick man.” Noah points out, wide eyed.

“Less horror film creepy and more loser from Revenge of the Nerds creepy,” Gansey clarifies scoldingly.

Noah swallows down a lump, properly cowed.

It’s right then when the doorbell rings and Gansey frantically puts in the last of the empty cups into the dishwasher from the sink before scurrying to the doorway, Noah and Ronan on his heals.

Ronan knows he lost the battle and the war the moment the door swings open and the first thing the pixie sized, colorfully dressed girl says is a glowing “Blank 182?” While gesturing towards Noah’s… Well Noah’s everything.

Noah looks like the cat who’s gotten into the cream, Gansey looks more glowing than usual, and Ronan can’t take his eyes off the sandy haired boy she’s brought along with her.

.-

Living with Blue is a beast that Ronan can’t quite figure out how to defeat.

She, probably like any sane person, expects the house to be in some sort of semblance— aka no more jackets and other innocuous articles of clothing thrown about the shared living space, and for dishes to be rinsed after use and put into the dishwasher accordingly. 

“Your rooms can be as trashy as you want, but can we please not make the whole place a pigsty,” she had sniffed with a cocked head and jut out hip. Gansey of course nodded giddily— on account to his staring at her all moony ever since meeting her— Noah had shrugged, indifferent. But Ronan held out as long as possible, sneer on his lips. But alas, she met his every zig with a zag and he found himself in a stalemate.

But Ronan could deal with the tidiness and even the impromptu yoga sessions she holds with randoms from her classes at university. Hell he could deal with her weird obsession with Yogurt too, and can actually listen to her rants about the patriarchy and institutional blocks that keeps the impoverished and people of color and women down from being able to achieve feats once only meant for wealthy white men. Fuck, Ronan’s come to think her particular brand of spitfire humor is actually hilarious.

So yes all of this is fine. But with Blue comes them. Henry Cheng, best friend she met at some art class her freshman year. And fucking Adam Parrish, apparently someone she’s known for so long and so intimately that she refers to him as family more often than not.

And yeah. Ronan is not jealous and Noah needs to take that fucking sneer off his face.

“You’re jealous!”

“I am not jealous!” Ronan yells emphatically for the fifth time.

“Ronan has a crush!”

“Noah God so help me!” He threatens, totally venomous.

“You’re in loveee!” 

“Noah I will destroy you!”

.-

Okay so Ronan might be sorta, kinda, not jealous…. But bothered. Yes Bothered. He’s bothered because he can’t fucking figure out Blue and Adam’s deal. One second they’re sniping at one another about the economy and the next she’s lying her head in his lap while he’s carding a hand through her hair.

Fucking salacious shit.

But occasionally, on especially good days, Blue falls asleep early and instead of going back home right away, Adam stays. He stays and he shares a drink with Ronan on the porch and they talk about nothing really, but also a lot of things. Ronan find’s out he basically grew up with Blue, that she was his first everything. He’s deaf in his left ear and he didn’t mean to fall into modeling but he didn’t have enough money to finish the semester at MIT and instead of giving up he took up some side gigs which eventually culminated into a career of his own. 

Ronan finds out that Adam’s favorite flavor of ice cream is cow tracks and his front tooth is chipped from behind.  Adam has a small, crooked smile and when he laughs its more breath than sound and its absolutely lovely.

Ronan finds this all out but still has no idea whether he has a shot.

And again, he’s bothered.

.-

“I vote on something classic,” Blue tells them with a sip of her shake. (Read the shake Adam bought but Blue somehow still always drinks half of even while she complains about being on a diet, which then leads her to grouse about how Adam stays narrow and lithe even if he eats four quarter pounders back to back).

Sadly, this happened once and only once when Adam was especially stressed over a finals week and hadn’t eaten for literally three straight days. 

She really has seen him at his worst.

“Ooo, let’s watch some singing in the rain! I’m ready to belt out some toons.” Henry crows.

“Oh well if it includes your perfectly pitched singing,” Adam says flatly. Blue promptly elbow checks him and Henry waggles his tongue out.

“Sounds good to me Henry, so where?”

“Your place?” Adam says, brow kinked and trying to smother down the hopefulness in his voice. Of course, it doesn’t work. They know him better than anyone else, and they immediately stick him with matching smirks.

“Pray tell Parrish, me and you have the better entertainment system by far, and yet you’ve been insistent on heading to Blueberry’s place for our weekly movie nights for the past two months…. Hah, I wonder what two months signify?”

“Ooo ooo! I know Henry, I know!” Blue teases swinging her arm up high like an excited school girl. “I just moved into Monmouth and Then Adam over here got all slack jawed and goofily eyed over my scary roommate!”

“Blueberry gets the point!” Henry squawks, giving her a makeshift bracelet out of the straw wrapper.

Adam looks at them both with as much fury as he could muster, cheeks infused red, and jaw locked.

In retort, they only laugh ebulliently.

Adam is so tempted to make new friends.

.-

Ronan opens the door on a random Thursday afternoon a week later and Adam steels his nerves, not about to back down.

“Oh, ah Parrish.” His prominent brows furrow together, suspicious. “Maggot isn’t here yet.”

“I know,” Adam says, head tipped high. “Can I come in?”

Ronan only shrugs as he moves aside to give him the room to enter.

“You look like you have something squirming up your ass,” Ronan tells him, as blunt and as crass as ever.

Adam silently questions to the universe why is it that he’s so resoundingly attracted to him for that.

“You’re so eloquent with your words Lynch, you know that?” Adam tells him, completely flat, and making it so Ronan’s answering grin is something feral and amused.

“So you gonna just stand there looking pretty or actually get it out?”

“Jesus Christ, do you have an ounce of patience in your entire body?”

“I sweat it out at the gym, you wouldn’t know that skinny.” Ronan barbs, hip checking him while he struts to the kitchen.

Adam just glares after his form… His well built and deliciously broad shoulders.

“Still got enough muscle to beat your ass,” Adam teases and Ronan leers, impressed. Adam walks closer, magnetized. 

“So Blue’s enlightened me about something.”

Ronan hikes up a brow, betraying his mask of indifference.

“Is that right. What? Did Maggot make you understand that the hand holding and lovey-dovey looks are getting abrasive?”

Adam is utterly confused to what he’s talking about— Did he find out about the crush, and if so does that mean he’s already, wordlessly rejected Adam. Is Ronan completely uncomfortable right now.

Adam shakes off the questions, is determined to just plunge in for once in his life without beating a situation to death with analysis.

“She’s enlightened me that my crush on you is getting to ridiculous levels of yearning and i should just ask you out like an adult.”

A thousand different expressions pull at Ronan’s face until finding landing at something Adam can only call aw.

“Oh— Ah, wait. Wait do you like me?”

Adam rolls his eyes heavenwards. God he really is going to get an aneurysm.

“You are such a doofus,” Adam sighs before inkling his head forwards and kissing Ronan senseless.

Ronan grabs his head and presses impossibly closer.

.-

Later that night, when Henry and Blue march in with the decided upon movie they both begin to preen at the sight of them, exchange bills with Noah and Gansey too.

Again, Adam is going to be sent to an early grave. But hey, if in the meanwhile Ronan does that thing with his tongue, Adam will at least enjoy his final earthly days.

300 Pages into The Dream Thieves

Honestly so much has happened in the last 200 pages I can’t remember my thoughts on it all

Who the fuck is this Gray Man guy??? He’s so weird??? Like he kills people, but he also studies Anglo Saxon poetry, and he also clearly has family issues, and now he’s like ‘I’m falling in love with Maura’ Sir u had one (1) date

I keep thinking he’s gonna turn out to be someone? Bc like idk why else his identity would be so secret. But none of the characters seem to recognise him so idk

Not gonna lie when those random dickheads smashed the Henrietta model I was ready to throw hands. Square up motherfuckers

Matthew Lynch is so pure how is he related to Declan and Ronan

Also imagine having those powers tho??? Like if Niall Lynch can dream himself a wife, imagine the possibilities??? I could just dream myself a Jem Carstairs???

Why does Gansey just say ‘Excelsior’ sometimes like it’s a common exclamation shut the fuck up Nerd

Can I ship Orla and Helen even though they haven’t met

Blue and Noah kissed?? That scene was so adorable omg bc like it wasn’t this big shock romantic thing, it was just two teens being teens?? Exploring?? It was so pure and funny

Why does Gansey just always have mint leaves on hand like does he just have a pocket filled with mint leaves or what

Gansey and Adam fight so much jeez. But the funny thing is that neither of them are really right. Like they’re both in the wrong. Gansey needs to be less condescending and Adam needs to be less stubborn

Blue diving into that pond made me cringe like my eyes hurt when I open them in a pool never mind in muddy pond water yikes

“Ronan never took my car” oof

The only character in this whole series who has Big Dick Energy is Blue. Everyone else is inferior sorry

Other than Calla. Calla also has BDE

Kavinsky reminds me of every chav I’ve ever known. I bet he made flamethrowers with deodorant bottles and lighters at school

“I have a crush on Richard Gansey” oooh hunny that’s one slippery slope

Anyway yes yes I’m loving this book so far?? Like I find myself really excited to read it which is so fun bc I rarely get that feeling. Ugh why has it taken me so long to read these booksss

There’s so much discourse on main at the mo that I must just make a trc sideblog and abandon my usual content for ghosts and Welsh kings

[milfvael]

trc characters ranked by how tolerable they would be to listen to in a conversation about politics

Gwenllian (should be our next president. definitely runs every election but is disqualified for not being a citizen and having supposedly died 500 years ago)

300 Fox Way ladies (gay, polyamorous, probably communist)

Henry (canadian socialist KING)

Blue (young and slightly misguided but she’s TRYING. harrasses people with poltical canvasing when she goes to college until she’s universally feared on campus)

Mr. Gray (idk like... he’s a smart guy. avoids political conversations but he knows what’s up)

Ashley (probably thinks women who don’t wear makeup oppress her but is RIGHT about the catholic church)

Declan (has “male feminist” in his tinder bio. knows what was in hillary’s emails)

Orla (doesn’t care too much about politics really but occasionally shows you a semi relevant current events meme that you saw 5 months ago and that someone she went to high school with shared on facebook)

Matthew (also doesn’t know about politics and couldn’t talk to you about them so he gets bumped down to here but SHOULD be in first place because can you even imagine how delightful a conversation with matthew lynch would be)

Noah (neutral space, is a ghost. also died when he was 17 so he’s like, not even a ghost who can vote)

Adam (probably tolerable but is definitely a libertarian so...)

Ronan (says “eat the rich” while sitting on 3 million dollars. doesn’t know who the president is)

Kavinsky (honestly same as above but it’s kavinsky so it’s just like... worse)

Piper (probably says something interesting every so often but is rich and evil and greedy so votes gop all the way down)

Greenmantle (same as above but is boring about it)

Helen (is probably that girl who brought a gun to her graduation. but i also like to think helen is gay so she gets moved up a few points. gay rights!)

Gansey (oh god, my horrible sweet son. bless his stupid soul. definitely a young republican)

Whelk (i thought it would be funny to end this with gansey but there’s literally no way whelk isn’t at the bottom of the list. can you IMAGINE? i don’t want to think about what whelk’s political views are so i’m ending this post now)

Fanfic Advice Please

I have this fanfic idea about Helen Gansey and featuring Declan and Orla. But I'm wondering if I should just change things around so it's original and then post it on Wattpad & my Tumblr for fun.

Like, I'm pretty sure Helen won't even be in Call Down The Hawk and since she's a minor character in The Raven Cycle, most of her characterization would be based on my own fanon anyway.

But Declan, Orla and the finale of the Raven Cycle effect the story and are also the things about this idea that interest me. So.

(or I can just totally abandon the idea and try writing some other idea that I have)

So, any advice? (Keep it as fanfic? Make it original fic? Or abandon it?)
