Starting this blog off with a fun little doodle I did when I first started listening through The Raven Boys!!

I listened through for the first time ever, in Dec. of 2023, and I've been going strong ever since!!!

Love these crazy kids SO MUCH!

when gansey said “they were always walking away from him but he never seemed able to walk away from them” idk why he felt the need to crack my head open and spill the contents onto the pages of his book, kinda rude tbh

here’s a soapbox! Ronan Lynch is one of the realest depictions of a character struggling with depression that I’ve ever seen in YA. Again and again depression impacts his personality — it’s not who he is, it’s something that happens to him, and it hurts him and it hurts others but it’s not forever. In TRC, we see this manifest as anger and bitterness, this silence and coldness and rage that keeps him suffering and keeps everyone else out. Most of the people he meets think this is just who he is, except for Gansey, who knew him before, and understands the external nature of this change - it’s not who he is, it’s what’s happening to him. He is able to slowly overcome this & come out of his shell as he grows to trust his friends and accept himself, and we see him come back into himself - he’s kinder, more trusting, more brave. In TDT, it overcomes him again - as depression often does, it doesn’t just go away. He’s isolated from his coping mechanisms, exiled alone in this house in the middle of nowhere, and this time it’s the sort of depression where you can’t get out of bed, you can’t believe anyone could love you, you feel useless and without purpose. And this time we get to see him learn to trust himself, to depend on himself, and overcome it AGAIN. I just think Ronan Lynch is amazing! And I’m very proud of him. :-)
