Ronan and Gansey's relationship is so important to me actually

In TMR, y’all ever noticed how both Newt and Alby give Thomas a “tour”?

Alby lays out the rules, the history, the locations.

Newt describes the different people, the groups and their personalities.

I believe this shows how they run the Glade, Alby playing the fearless leader, strong, reliable. Newt as the support, open, kind.

The Glade wouldn’t be able to run if it relied on only a fearless leader; he’d be disliked and resented. Not could it rely on the supportive figure; they’d be without a goal, without drive.

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.

I think that something that gets kind of ignored rather often is how Thomas earned Minho's loyalty by being everything he could not be.

Even though Thomas is not the prettiest٫ nor the most physically fit Glader٫ it was his bravery and courage when entering the Maze and insisting on saving Alby that made Minho follow him to the ends of the earth.

Minho didn't just see freedom in Thomas٫ he also saw a much better person than he was٫ and someone he wanted to be like٫ making that seemingly crazed Greenie deserving of his unquestionable loyalty.

For Minho٫ Thomas was hope in freedom٫ but also hope in a better future where he could overcome his fears and get rid of everything that held him down٫ including himself.

Minho valued freedom above anything else٫ and to him٫ Thomas embodied both freedom from his physical captors٫ and from the self imposed jail he'd been living in until then٫ pretending to be someone he was not and letting himself cower when faced with true fear. Thomas changed that when he faced down against a Griever٫ and forced Minho to face his real self. forcing him to accept he was a coward٫ and then change himself for the better٫ turning into the brave (if flawed) leader he later became.

Woohoo! The first chapter of our fic is posted! @violetacat and me have worked on this for so long it feels kinda surreal lol. We love this au so much and have put so much passion into it٫ we hope you really enjoy it!

New chapters will be posted on the 9th of every month from now on :) To celebrate the release of chapter 1 we made proper reference sheets for knight Newt (aka Sir Isaac Newton Smith) and Prince Alby (aka Prince Albert E. of the House of Stein) with very minor updates to their designs.

Check out our fic here!

Hi Paloma I’m like halfway through The Death Cure and your ivy trio designs have been slowly seeping through my brain. I tried to shake it off and be creative but my thoughts kept coming back to your art. And occasionally Pillow’s Thomas.

LOL im honored my stupid designs live rent free in anyone's head... I don't care if people are influenced by my art, but I loveee seeing other people's interpretations of the characters!!!

We know Sonya and Harriet were originally meant to be a fun little nod to nalby in the classic "what if x character was a girl instead" but I do like to think personality wise they were the opposite of them.

While Harriet would still be the leader of the Gladers٫ she'd be much more soft spoken and calm٫ feeling easier to approach and being trusted by almost all of the Gladers in Group B. Sonya on the other hand would be more overtly mean and snappy٫ she'd have fewer friends and some people would outright dislike her٫ but she'd remain just as protective over Harriet as Newt was with Alby٫ mirroring her brothers tendency to emotional dependence on his friends and unhealthy attachment styles that developed as a result of their shared childhood trauma.

I also like to think physically they're the opposite as well٫ with Sonya being the tinier٫ less intimidating one and Harriet being very visually striking and fit :P Idk٫ I just think it's a fun twist on the trope the books originally present
