“They won’t understand,” Persephone said. She laid her deck of tarot cards on the table in front of him. “They didn’t when I came back.”

“Am I different?” he asked. “You were different before,” Persephone replied. “But now they won’t be able to stop noticing.”

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.

deeply important details I found while rereading the raven boys:

- gansey’s pizza order is one large deep dish, half sausage and half avocado

- a week prior to trb, ronan and adam had taken turns dragging each other on a dolly behind the bmw

- gansey’s burger order is no sauce, no pickle

- adam blushes when he gets warm

- the 300 fox way psychic hotline is one number off from a male escort company

- gansey and ronan have done donuts in the monmouth parking lot frequently enough to leave marks

- there are several sports illustrated swimsuit editions mixed in with gansey’s books in monmouth

- ronan plays tennis

- the lynch brothers received “a decade of obscure irish music instrument lessons” before niall died

- someone wrote BEELZEBUB and ronan’s number in red sharpie in the bathroom at nino’s

- when adam shows up after ronan’s fight with declan in the nino’s parking lot, he’s bouncing a red ball with a spongebob logo. this is never explained.

- gansey’s helicopter drink of choice is apple juice

- gansey is, apparently, excellent at parallel parking (according to himself)

- among gansey’s many doodles in his glendower notebook is a man chasing a car

#ronan engaging in destructive car related behavior instead of just processing his attraction to men i love youuuuuuuu #also gansey being great at parallel parking but terrible at flying because he cant handle the y axis of it all. CHRISt #my heart is expanding out of my chest #trc

I started reading The Raven Cycle about a week ago and goshhhh, I'm in awe 😭 I got into it because of all the beautiful fanarts I've been seeing for a while now... I needed to contribute one as well. One of many more to come, most likely. I love them!!! They're so fun to draw!!

I'm only finishing the second book so please don't spoil it for me 🫢

#there they are! oh christ there they are ok #needed this #trc #trc art

ronan in the graphic novel is such a distinguished member of society. no alcoholism, no drag racing, no saying slurs and insults, no visible self-harm looking scars, no mentions of him skipping class - in fact he's not even getting expelled - no picking fights and no saying inappropriate ass shit to adam and blue just for the hell of it, no reasons to improve on anything about his own character really so he straight up doesn't. declan just looks like a massive asshole for having any issue with this squeaky clean law abiding god-fearing citizen

#steam is coming out of my ears. to reduce a character like this the way they have is criminal #flipping through my copies of trc in a desperate manner to see my boy the way hes meant to be #why would you do this!!!! to him!!!!#trc

trc is a very easy series to remove the difficult texture from. like i see fans doing it all the time. removing that ronan is an alcoholic, that he’s been arrested, that adam is inclined to physical violence/self harm, that adam is cold and wicked, that gansey is cruel and vile, that blue is spiteful and judgmental. but that texture is what makes the characters so good. and i guess i just didn’t think the author would undo the texture she so carefully crafted.

#hi if I think too hard about the graphic novel my brain now lights itself on fire as a self protective measure #genuinely devastated #trc
