cillian murphy 25 years ago would have been the perfect ronan lynch... i think i saw a supposed quote from nolan about how he saw him with wild eyes and a buzz cut and fell in love with him or something like that idk if it's even real but yeah... ronan core

@dreamlorn said: " i trust you with my life. "

ronan lynch's life is a precious thing to be entrusted with, adam knows, but he has the feeling ronan is messing with him.

"do you?" he asks, a little dryly, a little amused. one corner of his mouth is pulled up in a half-smile. "then i'll take good care of it. i promise."

he makes a fist, pressing it against his chest as if he could hold ronan's life in his hand and keep it safe so easily. ronan's life is more complicated than that, entwined in dreams and all the dangers that comes with them. but right at that moment, just the two of them, he's alright with the responsibility of it.

"where did that come from?" he asks after a beat of silence, eyebrow raised in question. "i hope you're not planning to do anything particularly risky with your life."

my days are so long so i cope by sniffing lush perfumes and anyway. i think this one is what adam smells like:

"Venture into the woods with a spritz of this wild and fresh fragrance filled with bracing fir needle absolute and a hint of benzoin resinoid. Revitalizing Siberian fir needle and tagetes oils mingle in every mist to surround you with the heady, invigorating scent of nature. If any perfume can embody the freshest of winter forests with twigs snapping underfoot and the light crunch of newly-fallen snow, it's this one. You'll be feeling as fresh as anything in no time."

the stranger is not the strangest thing adam has seen in cabeswater.

he visits often now, to sit in the forest and feel the ley line, to breathe in the air and feel at peace. so he understands the feeling, even if he doesn't yet understand who he's looking at and speaking to. but he's not afraid, for some reason. the man looks at home among the magic.

"it's not always peaceful," he says, coming to stand beside him, to get a better look at his face. there's no air of malevolence about him. and adam feels safe in the forest, knows that cabeswater won't let harm come to him. more than anything, he's curious.

"but i know what you mean. when you stand here, and you can feel the power beneath your feet. . . there's nothing more grounding. like nothing in the world could move you."

"how did you find this place?"

[alteriidem]

adam resents being lumped in with the raven boys, just a little. he can't deny that it's true, because it is: but the uniform he wears has the stitch marks and tatters of a well-worn garment, and there is no parrish hall at aglionby.

this boy is different too, though. he's rougher, unpolished, unabashed about his pride and confidence. adam cocks his head, intrigued.

"you've been working on your legacy since you were a baby?" he says, a hint of amusement curling the corners of his mouth. "well, what is it you want the jj maybank legacy to be?"

you’ve got quite a reputation .

𝙵𝚄𝙽𝙽𝚈 𝙲𝙾𝙼𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙵𝚁𝙾𝙼 𝙰 𝚁𝙰𝚅𝙴𝙽 𝙱𝙾𝚈. at least jj's reputation has sustenance — those aglionby pussies wish they had an ounce of his moxie. knowing that his name has reached overseas , so to speak , causes his pride to swell. it spills out through his widening grin. " hell yeah, i do, man. i like to call it: th'jj maybank legacy. think 's gotta better ring to it. figured it deserves a 'lil bit 'f oomph considerin' 've been workin' on it for, y'know, my whole friggin' life. " and then some.

@fcused said: ❛ i didn’t imagine it could be so beautiful out here . ❜

out here is seemingly untouched by human hands, miles of nothing stretching as far as the eye can see. but there is life in the nothing, if you look long enough. a jackrabbit, a wildflower, even the detested buzz of a mosquito next to his hearing ear tells adam that this place is alive, and where there is life there is often beauty. or so he's heard.

"easy to see why people get lost, though," adam replies, humming as the sound of their footsteps make soft little chuffing sounds in the dirt, footprints fading away with each blow of the cool summer breeze. "and why they go missing. it won't be easy, finding someone out here."

he feels a little guilty, saying it so plainly. but he's been careful with his optimism his whole life. it always stings more to have hope and have it violently taken away, or worse, to watch it slowly leech away as time goes on and nothing changes.

truth be told, he hadn't been close to her missing friend. but her sister is in some of his classes, a acquaintance, and since he's been in college adam has been the type who volunteers for things whether he wants to do them or not. study group? he's already written the essay, but sure. intramural flag football? he's never liked the sport, but why not. searching for a missing girl?

at least this one is a good cause. and he can see it plainly that these people care about it, deeply.

"you the type that sees the beauty in everything?" he asks after a long pause. "you gotta tell me your secret, if you do."

@regisraven said: sender and receiver have to find shelter in the woods from a sudden storm .

there's an umbrella in the trunk of the pig. adam can picture it so clearly: patterned with an obnoxious floral print, half rolled-up, somehow a designer brand (why does an umbrella need to be designer? he has no clue).

the pig and the contents of its trunk are both at least two miles away by this point, in a parking lot far away from them, offering no shelter in any way from the sudden storm clouds and the foreboding sound of thunder. adam can smell the rain on the air, rich and dusty. he can feel the sudden cool on his skin that tells him he and gansey have approximately two minutes to find a suitable shelter before they're soaked to the bone.

"tell me why we didn't bring that umbrella?" he says dryly, as if the blame lies solely with gansey and not at all with himself. truthfully, he blames the weather report that morning. the pretty, cheery reporter had promised them a day of clear skies, perfect for hiking - so why not use it to search for magic, as all young men their age did?

"oh, i remember why. the meteorologist gave us false information."

adam tugs gansey gently by the back of his shirt, away from the tall trees and toward a cluster of cave-like rocks.

"i hope this is the warm, summery kind of rain. otherwise we're gonna have a cold walk back."

Hunter Doohan as Adam Desiato YOUR HONOR (2020–) 1.01 “Part One”

[alteriidem]

the way adam/blue made the entire squad uncomfortable is so funny to me. like they would hold hands and suddenly all the air was sucked out of the room because of all the poorly regulated teenage emotions suddenly abuzz

[alteriidem]

adam is most relatable trc character bc he had a huge mental breakdown right before his 18th birthday then woke up, drank some juice, and got to it

[alteriidem]

It's almost as if I can hear the entire universe singing along.
