I fucking HATE money. I hate capitalism. I hate that we have built entire systems worshipping numbers that don’t fucking mean anything. I hate living in a world where these figures can be the difference between life and death. People kill for money, they work until they can barely stay standing for it, they debase themselves to the point of dehumanization just to earn a little extra. I have lost a disgusting amount of time, energy, and life to the mandatory pursuit of money in order to survive and exist with dignity. I’ve had enough.

I love how BOLD Marisha is.

Coming from the first campaign (where every move she did as Kiki was bashed by a very loud part of the fandom), at the beginning of C2 i was sure she was going to make an easy character. Either a likelable idiot, or a super charismatic one. I mean, could you blame her? after all the shit she got? 

BUT NO!, she decided to make Beau, a brash self-described uncharismatic a-hole. And make her a WoC, and make her explicitly gay since ep 1. No tiptoeing, no slow reveal. Gay af since the beginning. How f*cking BOLD is that? 

And she kept truth to her character. I can’t imagine the shit she must’ve gotten at beginning of C2, peaking at the bowl stuff, after daring to scream at the golden boy of the fandom. And yet, she kept going. Those conflicts were central for her.

Events happen that shape her character, because no one is the same forever. So she shapes her perfectly. Growing and learning. Making her character complex and nuanced, even when she choose not to have an arc all for herself, or make her backstory “central to the plot/world”. 

And relationships happen, she aces that too. Her self described a-hole is loved and appreciated by the other party members, their characters have been deeply shaped by her.

And ships happen. There are obvious ones, so she could have that one easily, and let the other ones happen as well. BUT NO! she decides to explore the concept falling for your best friend, the concept of gay yearning, and hidden crushes. She decided to make even MORE complex choices that are going to pay off big time. Because Marisha never plays safe…

She’s BOLD AF

gansey’s that fucker who dog ears and scribbles in his books, sticking notes and loose pages together of his own observations though lbr most of the books in his possession have something to do with glendower. darlington’s careful with his books though they have the occasional scribbles and highlighted passages, but he preserves them to the best of his ability.

Okay, but Daniel Arlington and Richard Gansey would be best friends.

Let's review:

Both the "gentlemen" through and through

Both invested in the paranormal while also being studious, scholarly types

Both know-it-alls and a little dim when it comes to people despite being best-intentioned

Both with suffixed last names. Richard Gansey the Third and Daniel Arlington the (Fifth?)

Both go by last name. Well, Darlington chose a weird hybrid of his first and last

Both like the strange girl who is their general opposite in everyway

Both see themselves as knights of sorts, Gansey in his search for Glenndower and Darlington in his pursuit of the uncanny.

I love these boys, guys. If you liked the Raven Cycle, I really think you'll like Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House. It has a similar vibe of wonder and magic in modern life.

The Knight 

Darlington - “Ninth House” by @lbardugo.

“ In the mirror, he saw himself, a knight with bowed head, offering his service, a sword in his hand, a sword in his back. He felt no pain, only the ache in his heart. Choose me. There were tears on his cheeks, even as he felt the shame of it. She was no one, a girl who had lucked into a gift, who had done nothing to earn it. She was his queen. ”

( I am fully aware of the fact that a sword CAN’T pierce steel armour - but that was an illusion, hence I’ll be like “anything goes” 😎)

Shades of Magic by V.E. Schwab - The Four Londons

“You don’t know anything about these worlds,” he said, but the fight was bleeding out of his voice. “Sure I do,” countered Lila cheerfully. “There’s Dull London, Kell London, Creepy London, and Dead London,” she recited, ticking them off on her fingers. “See? I’m a fast learner.”
