ig: herdrafts I usually study languages in the mornings at the weekend, I have more time to focus on learning and I also have more alone-time which I often do crave. My routine is almost the same; after making coffee and had breakfast I open my textbook and I start writing down the new lesson. This time I decided that I had to study Japanese, also I wanted to watch some subtitled anime episodes for listening practice. Don’t you think that Japanese sounds really cute?

Henry Chang and Gansey in The Raven King
Helen of Troy has some of the most heartbreaking moments in the Iliad,
Priam telling her ‘It is not you I blame, I blame the gods’ which is something she probably hasn’t heard before. Everybody seems to blame her.
‘ “but there are two marshals of the people I cannot see, Castor the horse breaker and the boxer Polydeuces, my own brothers, born with me to the same mother. Either they did not join the others from lovely Lakedaimon, or they did come here in the sea faring ship, but now do not want to enter the fighting, for fear of the shame and curses that are heaped upon me.” // So she spoke, but the life giving earth already held them under, their in Lakedaimon, their dear native land.’ She doesn’t even entertain the possibility that they might already be dead and thats why she cannot see them, she instantly sees herself as worthless to them, her own twin brothers, so worthless that they would not come for her or fight for her when all of Greece has.
the very last couple of pages when Helen laments at Hectors death ‘There is no-one else now in the broad land of Troy to be kind to me and a friend.’ She is left completely alone. The only person who ever extended the hand of friendship to her is dead, and she is left with her kidnapper and a city of people who loathe her for bringing war upon them and she has no choice in what she does or where she goes.
In Ancient Greek we don’t say “I love you” we say “εἰ δὲ θανόντων περ καταλήθοντ’ εἰν Ἀΐδαο αὐτὰρ ἐγὼ καὶ κεῖθι φίλου μεμνήσομ' ἑταίρου.” which translates into “And though the dead forget the dead in the house of Hades, even there I shall still remember my beloved companion.” and I think that is beautiful.

Recaptains: The Dream Thieves recap
what went down
Ronan has three secrets. 1. His scoundrel father could take things out of his dreams. 3. Ronan can also take things out of his dreams. #2? There was no 2. What? It’s probably nothing. It’s just the wind.
Ronan demonstrates his secret for the boys and Blue. Blue, by the way, is 100% not in love with Gansey. She hasn’t been staring at him for a page and a half. He does not have a great mouth. It’s just the wind.
Here is a thing that’s not the wind: The Gray Man, the hitman who killed Niall Lynch, has come to town looking for something called the Greywaren. He kicks the stuffing out of Ronan’s older brother Declan and questions him. Although 90% of Raven Cycle readers and characters dislike Declan, the author would like to point out that Declan handles the interrogation with due dignity.
Gansey’s mother quietly runs for Congress in the background.
As the boys and Blue riding back from exploring in the Camaro, a Mitsubishi pulls up alongside. Inside is Kavinsky, an Aglionby student named after the French house artist of the same name (who is not fond of the tender homage, the author sadly notes). His eyeballs say LET’S RACE. My, thinks Ronan to himself with a curled lip, that boy is certainly one hundred percent not attractive. “My,” Gansey says out loud with a curled lip, “that boy is one hundred percent not attractive.” “Asshole,” notes Blue. Adam adds, “There is no point racing with him as we’re carrying four living passengers which results in a loss of 7.5 horsepower for each of us using even the most forgiving of weight gain to power loss formulas.” Ronan concludes that his friends suck and are no fun.

In case you want a refresher in preparation for Blue Lily, Lily Blue’s release on Tuesday, my full recap of The Dream Thieves is on Recaptains.
Recaptains: Blue Lily, Lily Blue recap
what went down
· We begin with a psychic-cam. Persephone, an airy fairy psychic, tries to guide Adam into being similarly airy-fairy about communicating with the ley line. During this lesson they uncover the understanding that there are three supernatural sleepers on the ley line near them. One, Persephone decides, should definitely not be woken. · Meanwhile, Calla is having a psychic moment of her own, enhanced by Blue. When trying to make contact with Maura, she instead makes contact with … something else, which chants a little ditty in her ear. “Queens and kings, kings and queens, blue lily, lily blue—“ “Gosh,” interrupts the reader. “Is that the title?” · Maura, the final psychic-cam, spends this entire time wandering in a cavern in an undisclosed location, searching for Blue’s long-lost biological father, Artemus. She doesn’t find him, but she finds a creepy mirrored lake. · The teens go spelunking in Cabeswater to look for both Maura and Glendower. Do they find them? No. Here’s what they find: Gansey falling into a hole and having a panic attack. As Blue talks him down, ravens burst out of the hole around him, calling Make Way for the Raven King! in dubious Latin. · Post-spelunking, the teens head into a different sort of dark hole: Washington D.C.! Gansey’s ancient professor friend Malory is coming into town to explore the ley line with them and they’re fetching him from the airport. · Probably I should mention that Gansey touches Blue’s fingers during this car ride and the narrative strongly urges you to consider this sexy, which is a demonstration of how little game any of these characters have. Later, Blue gets even friskier when she secretly calls Gansey so they can talk about Congress and faxes. This is not code. This is their relationship. A little further on, there’s also a sensual yogurt-eating paragraph.

Just in case you can’t remember what happened in The Raven Boys, I’ve helpfully recapped it in the most spoilery way imaginable on Recaptains, just in time for the release of book 2 on the 17th.

Not to be dramatic but seeing/coming into contact with ancient stuff is an overwhelming experience. I can’t look at a damn mummy without imaginging every facet of who they may have been in life. I was in a cave once to see a stone full of grooves where people had sharpened stone weapons thousands of years ago and I was told I could touch the grooves and my spirit left my body on contact. I fell through time and space. What the fuck
