@psychofink - Just a quick shout-out to paxlux, the author of some brilliant Inception fics. I wish you all the best, darling, and just know that your ‘Dumah’ is in my heart forever – one of the very best works this awesome fandom has to offer.

I PUT IT ON MY LIST, IS IT GOOD?

is it good?

BABE its AMAZING (though if you’re unfamiliar I’d recommend starting with the movie its all based on, though that’s unnecessary because they do explain it)

But the show is funny and dramatic and just everything. It knows its got an absurd premise to drive a good plot and the characters note that. Its so good and there’s so much of it because they really were able to carry it for ages (though like most old show it gets weird towards the end). And then there’s also the spinoff! It was really good too, though slow to start and canceled too soon, and has both Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson as themselves with Jewel Statie! Its so fucking good!

BREQ AND SEIVARDEN ALL THE WAY

I have the most complicated shipping preferences for this series, because at this point I’m basically all about Mercy of Kalr/Breq//Seivarden/Ekalu, where Breq/Seivarden is like my DIEHARD OTP THAT MOSTLY JUST INVOLVES A LOT OF PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL AFFECTION BUT NO SEX AT ALL, and Mercy of Kalr/Breq is my secondary OTP that involves a lot in the way of emotional intimacy and affection but nothing all that physical because Kalr’s, y’know, a spaceship, and then Seivarden/Ekalu is my tertiary OTP (and honestly I think Ekalu could probaby do better because Seivarden is such a fucking trainwreck of a human being) and BASICALLY I JUST WANT EVERYONE IN THIS BOOK TO CUDDLE EVERYONE ELSE AND MAYBE ALSO TALK ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS

Hi! A mutual friend told me to come ask you, if you don't mind: what do you like about the Raven Cycle and would you recommend it to someone who has little to no tolerance for teenage romance angst soap opera? Just curious since the boys sound intriguing, but Blue doesn't, if that makes sense. :D Thanks! I hope you're having a good day!

Hi there! I don’t mind at all! (I hope you don’t mind mepublishing this, I was rambling so I ended up chopping it up quite a bit but itwas still long!) I’ll do my best to put everything into words, since usually I’mjust yelling the name of a character at my friend while she sends me sadheadcanons so…..          

“What do you like about the Raven Cycle?”

First, I didn’t think I was going to like thisbook/series when I picked it up. It just didn’t sound like anything I would beinterested in. I gave it a shot for the author though. Maggie Stiefvater hasthis amazing talent of making me incredibly invested in things I don’t think I’meven remotely interested in.

I love her way of writing, I love her way ofwriting characters, and I love her way of writing the relationships betweencharacters. And not just between a boy and a girl who are probable loveinterests, but a boy and a girl who are just friends, boys who are just friends,boys who aren’t just friends, a girl and her mother, a girl and other older andimportant female family members/friends/role models, and boys and older femalerole models. Maggie writes really great characters. And not perfect characters,and not all the same.

I love the way she writes about magic. I mean,there are times when I’m sitting there and I swear I can feel it through thebook.

I think Maggie does a great job with writingabout some aspects of mental health, socioeconomic status, and privilege, amongother things.

“Would you recommend it to someone who has little to notolerance for teenage romance angst soap opera?”

YES. 100% I would and wholeheartedly DOrecommend this book to someone who has little to no tolerance for teenageromance angst soap opera. I found this series when I was so sick of readingstories about teenage romance, and honestly when I was sick of boys in general.(Yes, good Danielle, read a book called The Raven BOYS. Again, Maggie is reallygood at making me invested in her characters). Yes, this series talks about kissing(or lack thereof) and romantic relationships, but it really really really isn’t the main focus. And evenwhen it is, it’s simply not a typical “teenage romance angst soap opera.” This book is primarily about the relationship between these 5 teenagers all together, and the magic. Oh, I adore the magic of this series

(Ifyou’re coming from reading Maggie’s “Wolves of Mercy Falls” series, they’rereally not comparable. That series was very much about teenage romance (andwerewolves, sort of). This one is very much not.) (Honestly though by the thirdbook of this series my cynical little heart had melted and I was/am dying forseveral people to get together, it’s worse than Jake and Amy from Brooklyn NineNine tbh).

“Just curious sincethe boys sound intriguing, but Blue doesn’t, if that makes sense”

I get what you’re saying. I tend to getsick/bored of female characters in book series. (It’s always interesting andrevealing to think on why this is the case for me.) I thought Blue was going tobe another female character I was going to get sick of, but that wasn’t thecase. I can’t speak for everyone in the fandom, but I adore Blue. I’ve seenpeople criticize the books since Blue’s story doesn’t really start until shemeets these 4 boys, but (as Maggie herself responded to this criticism), theboys’ story didn’t really start either until they met Blue. They were essentiallystagnant until Blue came along as a catalyst. And that’s not the end of her asa useful and developing character.

I hope this helps and that I did a decent job of convincing you to give it a chance at least! (If anyone wants to reblog this with reasons they love TRC please feel free to do so!)

It’s hard for me to sum up why I love this series so much. Mostly,I love the responses it gets out of me and how it makes me feel, in general andabout the characters.

I’m gonna leave you with this line from the beginning of thesecond book of the series, because I still get chills every time I think aboutit:

“Magic was real, magic was real, magic was real.”

TL;DR – Maggie is incredible at writing, writing aboutincredible characters and their relationships with other incredible characters,writing about magic, and making me care about all of those things plus more.
