If trb were girls Adam would be like 'god I hate how Gansey can get away with wearing no makeup and still look glamorous even though she could afford all the best products, not like me I need to use this drug store shit on my face just to slightly keep up and so people will treat me with respect' and Gansey would be like 'if I didn't have all these expectations upon me to be the perfect daughter and the perfect classmate and the perfect girl I would be able to just express myself like how Adam does I love Adam her eyeliner is so cool I want to be cool like Adam'. And Ronan would be like 'eyeliner tastes so sexy let me chew on this liquid liner pen and pretend I'm licking it off their eyelids'
obsessed with the substance party chapter because it teases so much about gansey and ronan's relationship pre-adam but not NEARLY ENOUGH. like i'm sorry ronan but what do you MEAN by "adam's taming presence"? exactly how wild were gansey and ronan before? how did they enable each other? why does adam's presence alone change gansey so much? because gansey wants to impress adam? be likable, palatable to adam? appear as good, well-adjusted boy to adam? is that part of the reason why ronan is so riled up during the dollar city scene in tdt? listening to the way gansey softens his voice when speaking to adam on the phone? jealous that gansey doesn't belong solely to him anymore? incensed with himself because he can't even hate adam for taking gansey on fire away because he's just as obsessed with adam as gansey is? has in other, perhaps less obvious ways softened himself too?
how often do we think pynch are fucking somewhere that just-so-happens to belong as equally to gansey as it does to them and really it's just a coincidence no shut up they're not fucking here BECAUSE it reminds them of gansey it just so happens this is gansey's car or his bed or yeah maybe one of them is wearing gansey's sweatshirt but fuck off mind your business this ain't about you
realized some things today
favorite “cars are a metaphor for homoeroticism/sex” moment/line/scene in The Raven Cycle (feat. one addition from The Dreamer Trilogy)
Ronan constantly dreaming of riding in the Camaro
Kavinsky’s Mitsubishis “sexy messy stylish” slide during his race with Ronan
Adam and Gansey’s roadside meet cute that changed the course of Adam’s life
Ronan and Gansey in the car after Kavinsky’s party
Gansey wishing he looked more like the Camaro, which was to say, more like Adam
Ronan and Kavinsky dreaming up the cars together till they get it right
Ronan teaching Adam to drive stick
Bluesey secret midnight rendezvous where she’s allowed to drive the Camaro
In indiget homo battery
Adam driving Ronan’s BMW by the end of the series
Adam and Ronan’s Camaro thefts
Jordan and Hennessy’s break up in MI with the cars / “they used to race”
honorable mentions:
Ronan being senselessly turned on by Adam on a motorcycle in Call Down The Hawk, eliminated for not technically being a car but still impressive
Jordan stealing Declan’s car and in doing so feeling closer to Hennessy while also closer to Declan.
Adam teaching Gansey about fixing cars.
The picture in Adam’s glove rendezvous has a the man (who looks like Greenmantle, which is to say like a combination of Ronan and Gansey, which is to say he looks like Declan but I digress) standing next to a German made car.
I could have sworn in addition to the Gansey comparing Adam to the Pig scene there was a scene where Ronan did as well but I looked up every time the word “Camaro” is mentioned in the Dream Thieves + The Raven King (only books with Ronan pov chapters) and did not find this so I wonder if I made it up, or saw someone else misremember and then adopted it in my memory. Someone enlighten me if not. There are certainly others but I either couldn’t remember them or couldn’t find text evidence to confirm they were real. Of course, you might say that some of these were likely more intentional from a doylist pov than others, however the text is the text and motifs are motifs. I am simply an academic presenting my findings to you all.
Also the Latin line is said twice once when the Camaro breaks down Ronan says it jokingly to Gansey in the scene where he also puts a leg over Adam’s, then Adam remembers it after a breakdown in TDT as applying to how he’s a “trainwreck” right before finding himself in Ronan’s dream. Feel the others are self explanatory enough but thought this one merited explanation if you haven’t reread recently.
my favorite deleted scene i love nastiness i love toxic yaoi ❤️
post greywaren, gansey visits the barns and he’s hanging outside with ronan. cue adam parrish on his motorcycle pulling up, coming back from harvard, and both gansey and ronan are drooling looking at him, brain empty, just hot guy on a motorcycle.
