@regisraven : for my funeral, make sure they choose a flattering photo.

"gansey." adam's accent is a thin rope between who he was born to be and who he wants to become -- most of the time, he wishes to cross it, even if he knows he is not a good enough tightrope walker to make it to the other side. strangely enough, it seems that the line disappears completely when he pronounces his friend's name, for he does not quite say gansey. he says it slow, intentional, gansey, as one would bite into an apple & wait a moment before actually pronouncing one's like or dislike for the taste. the slow exhale at the end lets you know it is the former rather than the latter.

"you're being dramatic. you're not going to die." adam parrish's tone is never too anything. never too dramatic or too angry or too bored. it is uneventful in a way a meadow is uneventful : you would need to pay extra attention to the tall grass & the wind-blown wild flowers to actually gather pieces of information instead of coming empty-handed, the description of a grass-filled pasture the only image you've kept from the encounter. so when he says "dramatic", one must hear the amusement, not quite there and yet its shadow already well-established.

"and i don't think there's an unflattering photo of you out there anyway. so you're safe on that part, for sure." there, look closer ! a bee, buzzing away from the wild poppies : unadulterated honesty seeping through a mildly mocking tone.

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my lovely Patreon members, featuring Adam and Ronan in an exaggerated representation of probably the most popular quote for the pair in The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater.

A scene where Ronan is tracing Adam's palm, while inwardly monologuing the metaphor of his feelings as an oil-spilled ocean, ready to burn at the slightest spark. I just had fun with it!

(also, is the oil-spilled ocean metaphor stemming from the fact Ronan finds Adam covered in / smelling like motor oil from his mechanic job? 🤔)

Average afternoon at Ninos

[violenthunted]

a dirty rag is pressed against his forearm to disloge the soot & oil from all the work he just did on the dude's car. he isn't even paid to do that anymore -- left it all in henrietta, with the trailer park and the forest. hasn't really thought about mechanics and dirt ever since he got to harvard. but the poor dude and his too-expensive car broke down next to adam's bike and he couldn't just leave him on the side of the road, right? or maybe he could. maybe the new adam is the kind of person who sees bad luck and shrugs it away, already biking to wherever he's supposed to go. he doesn't know. hasn't really had the opportunity to figure it out yet. old habits die hard.

"you from around here?" he asks, because he feels like the silence has stretched too much to be natural or comfortable, and without the hood to keep him from @pnkb1tch's gaze, he feels much less confident in his ability to just ignore the owner of the very expensive, very brand new car. "i think i fixed the issue, but you're gonna want to change that part." he points, long lean finger touching the top of what he's talking about, "or you're not gonna be able to drive for long." he shrugs, like it's all he can offer, and honestly it is : he's not much of a talker. so he lowers the hood, puts the dirty rag back in his backpack, and starts walking toward his bike only to stop. he doesn't know the procedure there : does he say goodbye? good luck? fuck if he knows. thing is, he's sure he's seen that man somewhere. "hey, you don't happen to go to harvard, do you?"

ronan was so real for skipping having a crush and going straight into para-religious devotion at the first sight of adam

[dykenav]

watching mstief’s writing the raven cycle webinar and I just want everyone to know that she just explicitly stated that adam was supposed to go full villain in her first draft but changed her mind bc “the worst thing that could happen is they stop being friends”
