the dreamer trilogy makes my artist heart very happy. it talks about art in metaphor — dreaming being a metaphor for creating art and dream objects being a metaphor for artwork — but it also mixes in so much art history AND has literal artists, jordan and hennessy, creating, for the first time, work that is Theirs. making, not in an effort to copy great work, but to create great work themselves, for themselves. one of the Points to me is about who artistic creation — in any form — is for and Why we continue to create. it’s declan collecting art, art that makes him want to goddamn cry, and putting it in his attic, just for him, just because. it’s ronan loving light, creating balls of light that just float around, for no other reason than his love of light. it’s hennessy’s “of fucking course” waking up the mouse. it’s jordan painting declan. it’s adam’s dreamt watch. it’s the mirrors that show your honest self. it’s all of it, all of it.

there’s something to be said about the fairy markets, these exclusive, somewhat dangerous, dream black markets, being a metaphor or representation for the institutions of the art world. because that really is what it’s like in so many ways. the fairy markets are taking something magical, pure, and creative — dreamt objects that are made by dreamers simply for the joy and horror of creating — and turning it into a commodity, something that is inaccessible to most and must be hidden away behind barriers and armed guards.

the dreamer trilogy says so much about the value of art and art objects. their ability to reflect their creator. the necessity of art objects not just for artists but for other makers, for everyday people, for the world and for our culture.

I LOVE ART, I LOVE THESE BOOKS!

remember that part in greywaren when ronan watches declan and jordan make out and hes like wow my brother is happy??? and has emotions??? and he doesnt wanna watch them hook up so he goes back to his body where adam, his bf, is setting up a scrying pentagram and counting and being a lil witch boy?

[cryinglookingatsoulages]

in love with how ronan said i hate my brother and then married a cold logical man who is obsessed with both his success and looking presentable 24/7 and then declan said ugh fuck that jackass ronan and then married a baddie covered with tattoos who loves self expression and has a wicked mouth.

[hairymoths]

We saw you across the bar, and we really hate your vibe, now fuck off

[kairospy]

Ronan looking mean & dangerous but trying so hard to be a good person. He wants so desperately to be better.

Adam looking angelic & ethereal but being the greatest threat human race has come across in centuries. He could and would kill without remorse (in fact, he already has).

hennessy. hennessy. hennessy i am thinking of you. i am thinking about the significance of first vs last names in trc/tdt. how the difference between when ronan says “parrish” vs when he says “adam” MATTERS. there is softness, there is feeling in both but they are so very different. and i am thinking about how hennessy only has her last name, how she gave jordan — her first dreamt copy, her first real companion as a child — her first name. hennessy has Half a name, she is half a person. and the half she chose was the last name, the name that is arguably less yours. a last name is your Family name, it is something that signifies your place in a group, but without a first name, it does not differentiate you from the group — hennessy gave up her individuality by giving up her first name to jordan, becoming less real, less her in the process. but hennessy would always choose to do this because jordan is hennessy’s other half and she views her as her better half. and so she gave jordan the first name, because to hennessy, jordan is the orginal, better, jordan hennessy.

I support everything adam parrish does. Even the weird shit like sacrificing himself to a magic forest, scamming people for fake psychic readings even though he is in fact psychic and falling in love with an ancient, sentient horror who is stuck inside the body of an irish-american catholic teenager with a shaved head

[jordeclans]

can't think about this for longer than 5 seconds without wanting to flip furniture and rip my hair out

[polartss]

Ronan Lynch ❤️‍🩹 just a good catholic boy
