“It’s a sacred calling, Emmett. To have another person’s memory entrusted to you... To take the deepest, darkest part away from them and keep it safe, forever. To honor it, to make it beautiful, even though no one will ever see it. To guard it with your own life.” * * * #thebinding #bridgetcollins https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvr1IIDH3Ag/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w8j7jhzbhz7k

Adam Parrish’s flirting game is pretty average, if we’re being honest, it’s nothing exceptional but it’s definitely decent, but by comparison to the others he seems like a flirting master, Gansey literally just starts telling Blue facts about ducks and this is apparently flirting to him, Ronan turns up at Adam’s place of work, terrifies him, starts a fight with him, and then leaves magical handcream in his car, Blue makes a mediocre joke about congress’ number having a 666 in it and then proceeds to repeatedly ask Gansey if he got it, I love them all but these 3 have 0 game and so Adam’s actually decent attempts at flirting make him seem fantastic at it

things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:

the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.

this is the dumbest thing i’ve ever written but i’ve been thinking about this all day

“Well, I’d be Fred.”

Blue shoots Gansey a glare. “Why’d you say that?”

Gansey frowns, as if he doesn’t know how to explain. “I don’t know. It just makes sense. And Adam would be Velma, obviously.”

“I wanted to be Velma,” Blue says crossly. “Who am I getting left with? Because, just so you know, Gansey, it’s pretty sexist of you to lump me in as Daphne just because I’m a girl and she’s the only other girl character left.”

“I wasn’t going to say that,” Gansey says unconvincingly. 

Adam lifts his head up from the notes he’s been taking. It’s Sunday and they’re at Monmouth because Adam and Gansey are supposed to be working on a project for school. But then Blue had shown up, and in the ensuing jumps between conversation topics, Scooby-Doo was mentioned, which is how Adam now finds himself listening to Blue and Gansey trying to sort them all into the Scooby gang roles.

Adam categorically does not care. He hopes Ronan gets back from Mass soon.

“You absolutely were!”

“Okay, fine, I might have been. But then if you’re not Daphne you’ll have to be…”

“If you say Scrappy-Doo, so help me God, Gansey,” Blue snaps.

He grins good-naturedly. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

The door swings open, announcing Ronan’s return and Adam audibly sighs in relief. “Oh, thank God.”

Ronan smirks. “Happy to see me, Parrish?”

Adam’s cheeks flush. “Please, just…weigh in on their ridiculous conversation and then maybe me and Gansey can get back to work.”

Ronan sits on the floor next to Adam. “What conversation is that?”

“Scooby-Doo,” Blue says. “We’re trying to decide who would be who out of all of us.”

“Easy,” Ronan says. “What have you got so far?”

“I’m Fred,” Gansey says as Blue rolls her eyes, but before be can continue, Ronan scoffs.

“Wrong already.”

“Alright then, how would you do it?” Blue asks.

Ronan grins like he’s thought about this a lot, and hell, maybe he has. “It’s not a perfect match up, but Sargent, you’re Fred. Gansey’s Daphne.”

Blue laughs delightedly as Gansey offers a slightly pained smile.

“Parrish is obviously Velma.”

“That seems to be the consensus,” Adam drawls.

“And then…I’d have to be Shaggy, and Noah would be Scooby.”

“Yeah, alright, your version wins,” Blue says, clearly pleased to be the ring-leader in this scenario.

“I can get on board with Daphne, actually,” Gansey says. “She has great hair, and she’s actually very resourceful.”

“Yes, okay,” Adam says. “Now that we’ve settled that super important matter, can we get back to this, Gansey?”

Gansey finally concedes and comes closer to help.

“Ooooh, but what about the Scoobies from Buffy?” Blue asks.

Ronan says, “Adam would be Willow. Obviously.”

“Obviously,” Blue and Gansey say in unison.

Adam groans. This project is never getting done.

the raven cycle as john mulaney quotes

blue: i think emily dickinson is a lesbian

gansey: i listen to everything my girlfriend says. i don't mean she bosses me around. i just listen to everything she says because, before i had a girlfriend, i never had someone who's always standing next to me who can just point out obvious things that are happening.

adam: i dont look older, i just look worse i think. honestly, when im walking down the street no ones every like "hey! look at that man!" i think theyre just like "woah, that tall child looks terrible! get some rest, tall child! you cant keep burning the candle at both ends!

ronan: ill keep all my emotions right here and then one day ill die

noah: i am very small, and i have no money. so you can imagine the kind of stress that i am under

henry: i guess someone said something like "something something police." and in a brilliant moment of word association i yelled “fuck da police!” and everyone else joined in. a hundred drunk white children yelling fuck da police
