Dream Pack

Very happy with this one ahh! was such a joy creating this. I used one of my Moonpaintings as a sort of underpainting for this as an experiment. I'll definitely try more of as I envisioned a lot of these as paintings in color :D

if you think about it kavinsky almost definitely thought ronan killed his dad too. that’s gotta be part of the reason he was so obsessive.

k’s got this trauma and secret weighing on him so heavily and isolating him from everyone until he finds out that kid who’s dad was mysteriously murdered is a dreamer too. especially considering ronan was the one who found the body and he immediately shifts to become aggressive, impulsive, and starts avoiding everyone. k mistakes the clear signs of ptsd for signals that they’re the same.

in kavinsky’s mind he’s finally found someone who will understand everything he went through and all of his fucked up coping and communication. he creates this ideal image of ronan as his last chance at a genuine connection with anyone, with no secrets in between them. the ronan in his mind is patient with k’s addictions, trauma, and tendency to push people away because he understands all the reasons behind it.

they’re both dreamers, gay in a small town, labeled as aggressive and outcasted, and in k’s mind, both victims as abuse who managed to outsmart their abusers. ronan’s everything he’d been craving.

when ronan rejects him and essentially calls k delusional for thinking they could ever be the same, k loses not just a boy but the very chance to ever be understood and accepted by anyone. if someone who he thinks went through the same shit as him still thinks he’s too fucked up to care about, then he’s got no chance. he’d rather die and drag everyone down with him than spend the rest of his life isolated and hated by everyone around.

i got the idea in my head that eventually skov gets a tattoo of dragon wings to memorialize kavinksy (because apparently getting k's ouroburos tattoo wasn't enough) - so i decided to make a quick drawing about it

actually can’t wait to see the graphic novel design for K

Noah can’t eat or drink but blue will always get a glass of water or juice and put microglitter in it so noah can watch the glitter spin round in the glass

When Swan gets annoyed his Northern english accent gets worse and he uses alot of slang that leave the boys confused

Ronan never lets Blue tie and clip her hair up. He has to be the one to do it or he goes in a fake tantrum

Adam and gansey have movie nights alone where they write full ass essays reviewing them. They have their own in jokes and one of them will end up making a joke about the movie and they adding to it to the point they cant breathe

Skovs favourite thing to do is fall asleep to black and white silent movies
