#think about it: the declanisms

[eternalchemy]

adam making up a version of himself thats successful in regular traditional society and desperately trying to distance himself from magic and art and ending up a liar and realising he cant escape it and trying just makes him miserable even tho he thought it would keep him safe. oh did i say adam? i couldve sworn that was declan

[wexpyke]

still thinking about how declan told ronan “be dangerous” and then declan, a man who has spent his entire life perfecting the bland & boring act, who has always tried to be invisible to stay safe, to protect his family, went into a notoriously dangerous black market and committed mass murder

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!

if my younger sibling dreamed another sibling into existence for literally whatever reason, i probably would’ve killed myself in front of them to change the trajectory of their life forever (so really what i’m trying to say is i understand you declan i get it)

Declan Tadhg Lynch Fails to Handle Grief and Loss (1543 Dead, 308 Injured, 164 Lawsuits)

[crispycostumes]

explaining mór and niall's divorce to a friend like, yeah they got divorced because they had differing opinions on infanticide, no the differing opinion wasn't whether or not to commit infanticide

[astudyinfreewill]

thing is i know ronan lynch is extremely male presenting. like mstief has made this abundantly clear. he is a guy’s guy through and through, muscle bro, gym tank top, piss in the woods, manly beard type of guy who likes guy things like fast cars and power tools. i get this. i understand it. so you have to understand that when i say he would deeply relate to the lyric i’ve got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt i do mean in a purely spiritual way. like that’s very much not him but also in a real way it IS him. do you see my vision

[squash1]

no because ronan and declan and matthew showed up to church every sunday. no matter what, they were all there. just to sit together. even when the night before they had literally thrown punches. even when the last thing they wanted was to act civil in a holy environment. even when declan had to drive 2 hours just so he could sit in the same church his father did with his two brothers. because that's what it means to have a sibling.

the lynch brother’s relationship to one another is complicated and made increasingly complicated as they all mature. but at the end of the day declan is the only other person who tells stories just like niall. who knows to say “are you going to be quiet” to get ronan to listen. having a sibling is being known by default. it’s growing up together. it’s adopting your father’s “jesus mary joseph” but adding “fuck” at the end just to make it yours. it’s wanting to both punch your brothers in the face but also wanting to blow up the whole world if either of them is in any danger. it’s sharing a name and a face and a father. and it’s also not being able to share a home or a life for a while. it’s growing up together and growing apart and then growing back into one another.

because sometimes having a sibling just means being able to say:

“i miss him too.”
