the inheritance games rant !!

hey, so i almost never write here bc i mostly use tumblr as a certified reader BUT-

i've been reading the inheritance games books, here goes a rant about Gray, okay? feel free to tell why where i could be wrong.

I'm currently reading "The Brothers Hawthorne". I have so many thoughts. This post is about Grayson because I wanna talk about Jameson in another one.

First of all. As a Grayson girl, after i read TFG i was so sad, it left Gray in a really bad place mentally, i feel like it hasn't been really explored on TBH, but i'm still on character 39. I've been a Grayson girl since the start of the series, so i was pretty devastated when JBL decided to kinda throw his character thru a little window on book 3. I feel like I get Grayson in a big way. I understand why he got easily manipulated by Eve and i find it interesting how he knew deep down it was just bc she looked like Emily. Watching go thru this brought back a really traumatic time in my life and i was like: fuck, one really feels a void after being played like that. The thing is, we don't navigate into it with Grayson. I know the series is about Avery and will always be, but it would've been so cool.

On TBH, Sav is so much like Grayson he almost feels like watching a mirror, he feels the need to give her advices, he doesn't want her to end up like him. He knows how much pressure goes into having to play the perfect child, he knows how it feels to lose the one person you lived for. My favourite moment so far has been the Trowbridge Office Scene, when Sav wants to leave the Office to go to the party but Duncan insists on touching her. Grayson think "Get your hands off my sister." and it made me giggle ngl. He was born to be a sister's brother.

I'm going back a little but Grayson thinks "His heart wasn't broken. It couldn't be when keeping himself aloft took every once of focus he had". Being a Grayson girl since I started TIG, this line hit my like a fucking truck. I knew Avery and Jameson ended up together but I had a little hope. I feel like Grayson had a great connection to Avery the whole story, it was like they understood eachother in a whole other level. I didn't fall in love with Jameson as I did with Grayson, which might be a *me* problem. But still, I feel like we saw so much about Avery and Grayson it only made sense to me that they would end up together.

After the airplane bomb accident, Grayson feels guilty every day, not only because he thinks he failed Avery but because he saw Emily all over again. This is a guy who is in such a bad place mentally, he allucinates for 2 weeks Emily's voice. A guy who saves a little girl from drowning and thinks he failed because even if he saves the whole world, he didn't save Emily. A guy who let's himself fall to the floor infront of Avery and says he's broken, then leaves for Harvard without telling anyone.

On TBH, he's listening to Lyra talk about how his dad killed himself with her in the house. On her birthday. She says "A Hawthorne did this", and Grayson immediately feels guilty about it. He doesn't know her but he feels like he owes her something. To me this is a fucked up way to introduce a love interest LMAO. Grayson has never forbidden himself for anything, and you're putting him with a person who is gonna add to his guilt. Obviously, I don't know Lyra yet. But i just feel like they just won't be it for eachother. You could argue this is my AveryGrayson heart speaking, which could be truth, but also, am I in the wrong?

Grayson is not healed, he probably won't be for a long time. Does Jennifer thinks that time can heal someone? This book is a few months after TFG, and should be all just ignore how broken Grayson was on that book and assume it changed with time? Yeah, not it for me.

Anyway, I feel like I'm going nowhere, but that's what a rant is all about. Feel free to call me a bitch for not liking Lyra and Gray yet. We'll see how it goes after I start reading TGG. (I don't know if i will bc I feel no motivation to do so as of right now).

The way she put it perfectly

“This was the Grayson I'd met weeks ago: dripping power and well aware that he could come out on top in any battle. He didn't make threats, because he didn't have to.”

GRAYSON DAVENPORT HAWTHORNE.

So I’ve been thinking, one thing that never made sense to me was why Tobias made Grayson believe that he would be the heir, especially after reading tbh and seeing Tobias say the words “it is going to be you”.

[SPOILERS FOR THE BROTHERS HAWTHORNE]

That never made sense to me bc he said that it would BE Grayson, but he also never said the words “inheritance”, so clearly he meant something else.

I also find it intresting that earlier in that chapter (ch. Eight years ago, after ch. 49) that Grayson said “bc. I’m a Hawthorne” and Tobias said “no”….he told gray he wasn’t a Hawthorne…..he also said that “Xander is a Hawthorne,” the old man said intently. “Nash is a Hawthorne. Jameson is a Hawthorne. But you…”

So tobias didn’t think grayson was a Hawthorne then what is he?

At first I thought maybe he meant Grayson was a GRAYSON, like Sheffield, BUT tobias probably doesn’t have much respect for Sheffield and would see him as lesser so why would he believe Grayson was a “GRAYSON”…..

Then I realized what if he sees Gray as an O’day….like Alice…..and what if by “it is going to be you” Tobias meant that, it will be Grayson who finds Alice and convinces her to return or helps her heal and return to her family or something like that.

I think grayson inherited more of the O’day genes than any of his siblings. The rest of them all sort of look like their dads, but I’ve tried to find a description of Sheffield and I couldn’t find one but I don’t think it was ever mentioned that he was blonde just that he had Graysons eyes but that’s it.

Some might point at savanna to prove gray did inherit his looks from their dad BUT Grayson pointed out that sav got her hair from her mom as soon as he met her.

Gray most likely got his blonde hair from Skye AND Skye probably inherited it from Alice O’day….so Grayson is more of an O’day which would explain why Tobias pushed him to be more bc he saw his Alice in him and wanted him to live up too his potential bc he belived his Alice was better than he was and pushed gray to be that too…but idk I still have SOO many questions about that man. The more I learn about him the more questions I have about ALL of Tobias Hawthornes words and actions

What do y’all think?

[still-traitor]

Your honor please he’s just a blonde guy
