everyday I listen to adrienne lenker and everyday I am reminded of the locked tomb

no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.

“I don't have a brother, ma'am," Adam replied. But Blue saw his eyes dart to Gansey.

[id: closeup image of art of Adam and Gansey from the Raven Cycle, where Gansey is reading leaning against a fence, and Adam is leaning over the top of the fence looking down at him. Text is overlaid reading, "And Cain says, "When you split me and my brother in the womb, you did not divide us evenly. He got kindness, and I got longing. He got complacence, and I got ambition. I want to kill him sometimes. I think sometimes he wants to die." end id.]

Educate yourself people. Read classics. It's 2025. At this point everyone should've read the raven cycle

Xaden and Tairn in Fourth Wing:

[aglionbyacademia]

Gansey is actually so cunt if you think about it. His parents are conservative republicans. He’s in a homoerotic situationship with every single one of his friends and some old man from Europe. Died twice. Stole his ex situationship’s girl — ON SAID SITUATIONSHIP’S BIRTHDAY. Always on the phone, always busy and booked. Punched his Latin teacher, threw a Molotov cocktail at a substance party he wasn’t even invited to. Can fly a helicopter, isn’t very good at it. Drives a vintage car even though it’s shit, simply for aesthetics. Wears contacts instead of his nerdy glasses, because he’s vain. Writes in an old leather notebook instead of just using his laptop. Truly believes in magic. His roommate is a ghost. Captain of the rowing team. Everyone at his fancy private school knows his name, everyone thinks he’s cool but also very very weird. The absolute aura on this guy.

niall lynch dreaming about ronans birth and bringing back blood and petals and blood and petals appearing before ronan's unmaking and everything coming full circle and ronan knowing he is about to die. maggie when i catch you.

[beafraidandhappy]

the choice was death or hurting adam, which wasn't much of a choice at all!!! which wasn't much of a choice at all!!!

[beafraidandhappy]

"ronan's jealousy was visible from space" (gansey talked to henry for two seconds) why is he seriously like a dog who just witnessed his owner pet another dog in front of him

[beafraidandhappy]

i always forget how much gansey's and ronan's appearance at adam's court hearing in blue lily, lily blue devastates me: adam's relief and gratefulness. it not feeling like charity but for the first time more like love to him. ronan's tie knotted right for once. gansey and adam shaking hands.

[beafraidandhappy]

the scene in blue lily, lily blue where ronan dreams a dying double of himself in front of adam and proceeds to kick him out of the church is so relatable because if I wanted to show off in front of my crush and instead managed to traumatize them I would probably want to die
