Oooh, how about hcs for movie night with Blue and her Raven Boys from TRC please??
OMG IVE BEEN WANTING TO WRITE THIS HC FOREVER YOU HAVE NO IDEA
ok this turned out way longer than i planned, what's new
- Movie night is held every Saturday night at the Barns--so it's just the five of them
- Ronan loads up on popcorn, candy, and drinks, and drags every pillow and blanket he has into the living room for the occasion
-The first few times, Ronan insists he's too aloof to pick a movie, so blue scrolls through Declan's netflix account trying to find a movie that will appeal to everyone
-Blue suggests tick, tick...boom! and Henry doesn't object, but the rest do
-"we're not gonna suffer through a fucking musical Sargent" "okay lynch calm the entire fuck down I'm scrolling"
-Henry suggests the great british baking show, but the rest disagree on the grounds that it's movie night, not tv show night--sorry maybe another time
- Gansey and Adam get excited about don't look up, but Blue sees that Timothee Chalamet is in it, and she rejects it out of pure spite
-Henry whines about it
-"what do you have against lil timmy tim??" "everything" she won't explain what she has against him but the other boys dont disagree
-"yeah he's fucking ugly Cheng, what are you into that whole sick victorian child look?"
-"oh sorry Lynch, I thought you'd be into that, I thought you liked 'em a little scrawny"
-Ronan and Blue punch him at the same time that adam nudges the back of his head with his foot
-"hey, man, I've actually been eating three meals a day"
- gansey beams "we're really proud of you adam, thats so-"
- "yeah, Cheng, he's got abs now" (adam snorts) "wHAT LEMME SEE" "why do you wanna see his fucking abs cheng?" "ohhh, i see, it was a trap"
- blue moves on, suggests "bright star"--she doesnt even know what its about but it looks like a good period piece
-they watch the trailer and at the end Blue goes "wait he's straight??? oh that was fucking queerbaiting" and Ronan goes "there's no way john keats was attracted to women." gansey and adam sort of grunt in agreement
-henry gets excited and suggests big mouth. they tell him, again, that it's movie night not show night. he is sad again
-"oooh guys guys what about breaking bad???" "hENRY FOR THE LAST TIME"
-blue suggests red notice, which she doesn't love the idea of, but Ronan hasn't agreed to anything so far, so she's trying to appeal to him
-"ronan, cars? heists? ryan reynolds?" gansey and henry: "ryAN REYNOLDS"
-ronan makes a disgusted noise. blue sighs and moves on
- "OMIGOD GUYS VICTORIOUS!!" blue whacks henry with a shoe
- "sargent, stop fucking scrolling through the 'romantic movies' category" "lynch, if you don't tone down the piss and vinegar a few notches, we're watching bridgerton" *gasp* "in my family home??? absolutely fucking not"
-after a few more tries where everyone agrees except ronan--who seems to hate everything--blue sighs loudly and dramatically. "ronan, do you even wanna watch anything??" "uh duh" "well what do you wanna watch" "i don't care" "yOU OBVIOUSLY DO"
-before they can kill each other Adam snatches the remote out of her hands and exits out of netflix entirely. everyone protests until he switches over to disney plus
-"ugh, if we weren't using someone else's account, i'd be so against all of this" blue goes on a little rant about corporations and monopolies while ronan makes fun of her
-but then a movie starts. it's an old, old disney movie; there's whimsical orchestra music playing as the beginning credits fade in and out. Adam looks at Gansey and they share a wistful, knowing smile
-Blue looks over at Ronan and the aloofness is gone; he kinda looks sad, but also kinda looks like a little kid. his eyes are really big. he slowly gets up from where he sat beside blue on the floor and switches places with Gansey, who was sitting beside adam on the sofa. blue watches ronan, completely docile, curl up to adam; adam wraps his arms around ronan and kisses his buzzed head. by now henry has followed her eyes and he shares a look with her. but then Gansey worms his way between them, his arm around blue and offering them both some popcorn. they both look back at the couple again then settle against gansey's sides.
-the movie is alice in wonderland. Blue is pretty sure that on one of the shelves in the living room, there's a dvd of this movie; ronan must have watched it growing up. blue smiles; as she listens to the first song, "a world of my own", she thinks it fits too well.
-when the movie's over, ronan is so calm he almost seems asleep against adam's side. blue smiles sweetly at him.
-"so, fast and furious next time, then?"
-he kicks her and she laughs
-from then on, every movie night is a disney movie. ronan has a lot of them on dvd. sometimes blue catches him absentmindedly mouthing the words to the songs. sometimes her and henry join together in a karaoke version of the songs and get booed and pelted with popcorn
OMG ok im gonna have to make another one of these sometime, it was so fun. thank you so much for this ask!! :)
(also idk which book it's in but i remember at some point, ronan recalls how alice in wonderland and pygmalion were his mom's favorite movies, and they kinda became his comfort movies. also i have a hc that ronan watches like five disney movies on rotation for comfort)
