My Journey To You 云之羽 ep. 13

[redemption-revenge]

noooooooooo are you joking, the lord and first son were murdered, leaving the himbo second son in charge? our fragile gothic horror winter princess? who cries when it's cold and has people constantly wrapping him up warm in big coats? he needs either or both an emotionless assassin girlboss and a rock star poisoner to help him lead. then again, this will reveal gong ziyu's latent murder tendencies (while being beautiful) as befitting a zhang linghe character

they're serving Boyfriends in a way that nobody has ever served Boyfriends before, i fear. this might be my favorite Image ever.

“At night, he’d sit on the end of Ronan’s childhood bed and meet Ronan in dreamspace-Ronan, asleep, in a dream, Adam, awake, in a trance.”

raven king spoilers!

okay, but the very fact that noah's presence is just merely gone after his possession. like there's no PROPER SCENE addressing noah being forgotten. it's like a snap, and everyone is just moving forward with their lives without noah. i find that so tragic.

previously, despite noah's lack of presence that i'm still comforted he will still appear in blue or ronan's pov, or even just at the corner with gansey's pov. like somehow, he's there but there's still a passing mention that he's disappearing.

but suddenly, he's just gone.

and i'm supposed to accept he's removed from the narrative. like i became the sole witness noah was there. how lonely. and i see some theories that it was from noah's perspective and i find that another level of tragedy. how lonesome.

narratively, it's genius and tragic but now i find myself pushed into grief because who will mourn him but the reader?

most female main characters in ya fantasy usually don't have their parents around/are orphans/ran away from home (e.g. the mortal instruments, lockwood & co, a deadly education, ...), which is why there are often no adult figures around to manage the (magical) chaos the teenage characters have to untangle standalone.

but the raven cycle is different — the adults work together with the teen characters, actually listen to them, and try to help them with their quest. blue doesn't have only her friends around to help her out, she also has a giant home with different, female rolemodels. calla, persephone, maura, and all the other aunts and friends — they give blue something most ya characters don't have.

and as the series continues, she also meets the grey man, who becomes a familiar figure for her, too.

instead of having not enough help and support from adults, which is a thing most ya protagonists struggle with, blue has so many people constantly trying to protect, guide, and help her, and i think that's awesome.

she has a family, and they're actually a part of the story.

the whole reason that any of the trc events happened is bc there wasn’t a singular oldest child in that group, you have a youngest child, a middle child, two only children and whatever noah counts as
