Why was the Rani dressed like you? Perhaps she's fashion conscious. She was in disguise. Practising another one of her talents.

at some point in life you realize the best way to solve a love triangle is to make them polyamorous and you never look back

jean: do you even remember what color your hair is supposed to be?

cody: oh, blonde. naturally blonde.

cat: explains a lot, honestly.

I love the floozies so much and how naturally jean became a vital part of their friend group

Jean patching Neil up, over and over, as he lay swooning in the darkness, clinging to life... the feel of Jean's hands so imprinted on Neil's skin that when the demons come out of the dark places to rend him with their claws he feels Jean's hands on him, erasing the damage, soothing him back to sleep.

Sorry this is prob weird but I’m imagining Raven and Ghost working at amusement parks (they look like they don’t belong there)

Raven is the kind that counts down and then pulls the lever at the count of 2, smirking under her hat

Ghost is the same, but he finishes counting and then lets the suspense build in uncomfortable silence, cuz he wanna see the faces of the people wondering if there's a malfunction, and then only Ghost pulls the lever

Have you ever thought of the second half of your drawing with Raven and Phoenix? Reginald having to deal with Matchstick while trying to find HIS agent?

yep things are going great on the other end

the first part

Matchstick is having quite possibly the worst time of their entire life which, believe me, is a HARD bar to pass. shockingly, they’re not handling it very well. Reggie, for his part, certainly doesn’t LIKE this stranger wearing his best friend’s face yelling at him, but he’s really more concerned than anything else

shut up about andrews gaydar im so serious ... pov ur at a function, a guy's manhandling another man's chin, on and on about 'i'm your partner, i'm your partner' and then goes out and puts the source of said man's distress through a windshield .. like i sort of believe that an octogenarian infirm half-conscious baboon could puzzle that one .. what? renee said that andrew clocked him 'immediately'? clocked the full-head bottle blond circling an all-gay friend group? that andrew must be one smart chicka !

can never wrap my head around how kevin and riko managed to play on three teams (EAU ravens, baltimore wildcats and US court) whilst also following the 16 hour ravens schedule AND going to classes. cause the way the 16 hour days work means ‘night-time’ in the nest would not be aligned with real night time so what are they supposed to do when the schedule says they should be sleeping but they’re actually supposed to be at practice in baltimore (and they have to travel to baltimore from west virginia?? i have no idea how long that would take but they’d have to cross state lines for that so??) or the schedule says they should be doing whatever but they’re actually supposed to be playing a game for court. like when the hell are they sleeping?? eating??

i feel suspension of belief is required but ultimately it shows how tetsuji really was not setting the two of them up for a long and successful career - it seems he mostly wanted to set himself up for success. cause once kevin and riko went pro they’d have started to burn out and crash, and tetsuji would have been able to spin it so that their success seems dependent on him. like, look what they were achieving when i was the one coaching them, they managed three teams and college and were still the best in the country. without me, they’re nothing.

i’m not gonna talk about how tetsuji’s mentality mirrors the mentality of late stage capitalism but i could i really could but i won’t

it would end up with their early success reflecting well on tetsuji, and their later failures reflecting badly on themselves. and since i’m assuming there was no agreement that tetsuji would take any of their earnings post-ravens, tetsuji would no longer benefit from their success after they graduate, beyond how their reputations and the reputation of the ravens reflects on him. and if he can spin it that it was the him that gave them their success, more people - exy players, the media etc - will vie for his attention, endorsing him financially and applying to the ravens, becoming more willing to abide by his control in an attempt to reach the success kevin and riko did during their time with tetsuji.

personally though i don’t think this operation would last, because there’s only so many star players that tetsuji can create, and if they all wash up less than five years after graduation eventually people are gonna become suspicious

To his credit, the Aglionby boy didn't speak right away. Instead, he thought for a moment and then he said, without heat, "You said you were working for a living. I thought it'd be rude to not take that into account. I'm sorry you're insulted. I see where you're coming from, but I feel it's a little unfair that you're not doing the same for me."

"I feel you're being condescending," Blue said.

richard "dick" campbell gansey the third, the boy you are. i need to shake him. i need to put him into a small enclosure for three to four business weeks. i need to force him through a Feminism 101 (How To Stop Being A Polite Misogynist) class.

all of the characters in trc are deliciously horrible but there's something about gansey specifically that fascinates and enthralls. like he is genuinely kind and his family are genuinely kind and also they're in the top 500 richest families in the world and it shows. they're all nice. they're all horrible. you could have dinner with them and they would ask about your interests and genuinely care and then you would go home and feel like the scum of the earth and they wouldn't even realise

(i think it's so interesting how gansey, even when he's in the wrong and HE KNOWS HE'S IN THE WRONG, apologises Like This. like, yeah, he fucked up, but blue's being a bit impolite about it, isn't she? it's not that he isn't open to criticism, but it's not exactly Proper Feedback Protocol to be so blunt about it, now is it.)

[the-rubies-that-i-gave-up]

an idea i really like is that of riko periodically having on-off anorexia starvation lapses partly as a metaphor for the broader all consuming black hole abyss hunger for attention love affection approval in him but also just literally as in, riko starving himself was one of the only methods of self-control/restriction he put upon himself AND in his own screwed up way starving himself was self-inflicted (useless) punishment for being a bad violent mean person AND it was a reaction to intense 2000’s beauty requirements
