Rereading the raven cycle! currently on Blue Lily, Lily Blue. Adam is such a well written character especially in this book! My favourite part is how intelligent he is, not in the getting into Aglionby with a scholarship way but in the human emotional way.

He’s spent so long observing others, he really knows how to read them well. I like how he picks up immediately that Ronan has a crush on him after tdt, he has the intelligence to pick up on little signals others don’t see. I love it even more as in soo much of the media I consume, the characters are just completely oblivious (no offence, cause that’s literally me) and cannot understand clear emotional signals from others.

A reoccurring theme with his character is that he is “unknowable” but he comes to realize that he is only unknowable to himself shown in the court scene when Ronan and Gansey back him up! “what a lie unknowable was”

Anyways… this book is definitely a contender for my favourite in the series (sorry abt my rant 😋)

just went biking in my neighborhood by myself and for the first time in a LONG time...i felt..happy..and content with where i currently am in life. i've always had a fear of being alone..it's one of my biggest fears actually. the fear of being alone and having no one there to help me is terrifying, and failing is NOT an option. but outside biking enjoying the amazing weather and the music i was playing all on my own, that fear melted away. it felt good. and now i feel like i can conquer anything that comes my way.

I'm just now getting to watch last night's episode, and wtf Maggie's storyline feels so personal I'm crying

Except, I hate that it's being portrayed by a white actress, because you don't do that. You don't write a narrative that's so fitting for a clearly non-white demographic and then have a white person take lead on it. If you're going to be telling brown narratives, you should have real brown representation.

I remember playing pretend with my cousin growing up. We’d always be sisters in our games, most times even twins. I never really had that great of a bond with my sister. I remember in seventh grade when I went to a family members classroom after school, only to find my cousin crying in the corner. I remember her telling me about the comments some people made (some of which were racist). I remember how angry I felt, that someone could say such things about her. My cousin who was so sweet and never did anything to them. I remember having sleepovers together. Sharing popcorn whenever we had movie nights. Gossiping about boys. Occasionally gossiping about girls. Being angry over math. I’d never seen a huge difference between us. We were both human. We were both emotional and made mistakes. And even now, we’re still best friends. Despite all the bickering and arguing, we’ve always been best friends.

I appreciate her so so much. I got a cousin, sister and best friend all in one. And I love her so much. This is my official appreciation post for my favorite cousin<3

“Hey, what’s the worst book/fanfic trope?”

“Oh, probably—“

THE FUCKING CHEATING TROPE IS THE WORST ONE

”They’re just some random people who film in their car!”

No, they’re not. They’re my best friends. They’ve made me laugh when I wanted to cry. They’ve made me cry when I wanted to laugh. They’ve taken me to cool places like Hawaii, LA and Boston. They’ve introduced me to cool people. They’ve cooked meals for me. They’ve taken me on gas station runs in the middle of the night. They’ve played video games with me. They’ve introduced me to their parents. Comforted me when I needed it most. They’ve spent Easter, Halloween and Christmas with me. I celebrated their birthday with them. I’ve played golf with them. I’ve watched them spontaneously dye their hair. They’ve helped me with my anxiety. They never made me feel “dumb” or “lazy” for having adhd. I’ve stayed in a haunted hotel with them. I’ve listened to them rant about nothing and everything.

and they did all this through a screen. They saved me from myself. And they continue to do so everyday❤️
