so. i finally have time to draw something about the raven cycle. so here’s Maura, Persephone and Calla as the Three Graces. and i tried to post the references but it’s toooo adult(?) for this app so you can find it yourself.
do you ever think about how when gansey says "dream me the world. something new for every night" ronan actually does, because he's the one who dreamed cabeswater into existence which is ultimately the place that becomes gansey or are you normal
yes i am a gansey kinnie BUT there is something wholly relatable about blue sargent's overall longing to belong with the boys and but knowing she will never truly be one of them
i stand by adam and gansey both being trans and both thinking the other is cis. that remains the Funniest explanation for everything theyve got going on
In a low voice, Blue asked meaningfully, "Seen enough?"
"Of--oh, Orla?"
"Yeah."
The question annoyed him. It judged him, and in this case, he didn't feel he'd done anything to deserve it. He was not Blue's business, not in that way.
"What care is it if yours," he asked, "what I think of Orla?"
This felt dangerous, for some reason. He possibly shouldn't have asked it. In retrospect, it wasn't the question itself at fault. It was the way that he'd asked it. His thoughts had been far away, and he hadn't been minding how he looked on the outside, and now, too late, he heard the dip of his own words. How the inflection seemed to contain a dare.
Come on, Gansey, he thought. Don't ruin things.
Blue held his gaze, unflinching. Crisp, she replied, "None at all."
And it was a lie.
It should not have been, but it was, and Gansey, who prized honestly above nearly every other thing, knew it when he heard it. Blue Sargent cared whether or not he was interested in Orla. She cared a lot. As she whirled toward the truck with a dismissive shake of he head, he felt a dirty sort of thrill.
actually very funny that ronan 1. fell in love at first sight w adam 2. immediately hid it from everyone including himself and then 3. stopped hiding it from himself and adam IMMEDIATELY picked up on his feelings like damn babygirl no wonder u were keeping it as a secret from yourself too mr. oil spill feelings like wow you are OBVIOUS.
I finished reading "If we were villains" a few hours ago, so while I'm still going through the 5 stages of grief, here are the gayest scenes between Oliver and James that I made sure to save while reading even though I had no idea at first if it's going anywhere or not.
1. Oliver unconsciously leaning in when James was pretend-hitting him during class. (ACT I - scene 9)
2. James covering Oliver with the fake blood on Halloween. (ACT I - scene 12)
3. Oliver staying with James after the Halloween incident. (ACT I - scene 12)
4. "I wanted to give Richard ten bruises for every one he'd put on James." (ACT II - scene 2)
5. Oliver waking up next to James. "The strange sudden thought that I didn't want to move struck me." (ACT III - scene 10)
6. Oliver kindly informing us that he's the only one who knows every inch of James. (ACT III - scene 18)
7. "I desperately wanted him to stay, seized by the nonsensical idea that if he left, I would lose him, irretrievably.", "Forget to think of her." (ACT III - scene 18)
8. Oliver being blindly, savagely jealous while watching James and Wren kiss during R&J. (ACT III - scene 18)
9. Oliver thinking about James after having sex with Meredith. (ACT IV - scene 1)
10. Oliver going to spend the night with Meredith in the hopes that it'll help him forget about James. (ACT IV - scene 1)
11. Oliver yelling at James that he can't be mad at him or hate him. (ACT IV - scene 7)
12. Oliver having a crisis while watching James and Meredith kiss. (ACT IV - scene 9)
13. "He was my friend—much more than that, truthfully", "My infatuation with James transcended any notion of gender." (ACT V - prologue)
14. ""You didn't tell me." I didn't realize until it was out of my mouth that that alone was worse than any of the rest of it.",
"I never wanted you to look at me the way you're looking at me right now." (ACT V - scene 5)
15. "Worthy prince, I know't." and of course, the not so brotherly kiss. (ACT V - scene 6)
16. "Of course, the only person I really wanted to see was James." (ACT V - scene 7)
17. "You know why.", and James begging Oliver to let him make things right and kissing his hand the last time he went to see him. (ACT V - scene 7)
18. "But more than that—you must know—more than anything, I just need to see James." (Epilogue)
19. Oliver admitting at least to himself that he still is in love with James. (Epilogue)
extremely funny that Oliver spends the first 2 acts of iwwv like “I’m the most regular 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I’m the least attractive among these extraordinary talented people 🥺🥺 honestly I’m super unimpressive and meh” while the book establishes that the two most hottest people in the school want him So Bad it makes them look stupid
