Idk if you're doing hc requests atm but do you have any hcs about the gangsey either romantic or platonic or both?
hmmm im just gonna braindump about the gangsey here i guess
blue and ronan are really good friends: i know basically the whole fandom agrees on this but like. i think they develop a relationship sort of similar to what ronan and noah's relationship was, but ronan sort of treats blue like a sister
blue teaches him (and the other boys) about antiracism, feminism, queerness, etc. and they all take really well to it, but ronan the most so
he's already a leftist by principle so like. he's like yeah fuck the status quo
the one who takes to it the least well...adam. dont hate me im not saying he's a bad person by any means, but he's the most independent thinker of them all, imo, and so he's like ok that may be true but i'm going to come to my own conclusions about things and form my own opinions. the only downside of this is that he doesn;t take the perspectives of other people into acount, so he bases his conclusions off of his own experience as a cishet-passing white man
i think he and blue fight somewhat often post-canon because blue tries to get him to think like her and he doesnt like it and purposefully says stuff to piss her off in response
i also think adam has some internalized ableism and homophobia so blue will say things like "but you're queer/disabled/poor, therefore you should think this way or that way" and it'll just alienate adam further
sorry that was kind of depressing. um. anyway
my original point was that i think blue turns ronan into a raging feminist, not necessarily because he has a strong sense of justice but more because he thinks it's fun to fuck the status quo
she has a harder time convincing him to buy into antiracism and like the land back movements and stuff. but she still tries and he doesn't fight it too hard, he's just stuck in his own mindset
speaking of ronan and feminism something that's really funny to me is that before blue, ronan has basically never interacted with a real female
like aurora was real, she was a real person, yeah. but she was also a woman created in the image of a man (which i think was an intentional move by maggie and i think it will come up later but that's a whole other post)
so basically ronan has been surrounded by maleness his whole life so like, of course the first time he set foot in fox way it was like a devil entering a church
post-canon, when they hang out at fox way, ronan gets to really experience that potent femaleness for the first time and he almost short circuits cus he's like huh
the others think it's hilarious
they have to constantly explain simple things about womanhood and femaleness to him and his entire world flips upside down every goddamn time
"why is it weird for you to not shave your armpits, are you supposed to shave them? like what the fuck" "ronan...while appreciate that attitude, i have to wonder: have you ever met a woman that's not me, ever? in your life?" "not really"
"what the fuck is a tampon" "im not sure you wanna know"
they have to explain to him finally that orla has been flirting with him this whole time and he is disgusted, he is revolted, he dedicates his life to his lord and savior jesus christ and this is the thanks he gets
um speaking of which. can you imagine the memes that circulate among that friendgroup
sometimes they interact entirely by quoting memes at each other it's beautiful
blue and ronan bond over meme songs that the other three hate
gansey and adam are trying to do homework and blue and ronan bust in rapping all the lyrics to "jesus is the one (i got depression)"
those two also are huge fans of insane clown posse. adam is terrified, gansey is endeared, henry is just along for the ride
henry! lets talk about henry
i hc henry as pretty unashamedly queer, he already was kind of an outcast at aglionby so why not
i hc that most of vancouver crowd is queer
ronan at first doesn't like henry at all because hes like, intruding the group
but also because henry is very comfortable in his gender and his queerness and that scares ronan
it scares adam too at first but then intrigues him, which scares ronan more
at some point ronan and henry have a really deep late-night talk where they talk about henry's queerness and his journey with that, and then henry tells ronan about his trauma and his relationship with his mom; ronan tells henry a little bit about his family trauma and he doesn't have to say much for henry to understand what he's trying to say and what he's feeling
henry tries to get him to talk about him and adam and is sort of successful--ronan blushes hard until henry lets up and quits teasing him
they have a much better relationship after that <3
one time henry and blue bond over being bi and the other three are like blue what the fuck you like girls
she gestures to her entire self and she's like yall hadn't figured that out already?
that's what makes ronan start feeling a little more comfortable--he's kinda like well if blue can do it i can do it, idk i just feel like he looks up to her in a lot of ways (would never admit it to anyone else or himself though)
while blue and adam do fight a lot, they're also very close friends
they make a lot of tiktoks together! i hc that adam really likes learning tiktok dances he's just too shy and proud to do it, but blue convinces him to when the others aren't around and those two are very good
like. the bi panic those two would cause, are you kidding me?
adam gets confident enough that he'll jokingly dance when they're all just hanging out and playing music
ronan is like "this is so dumb he's so cringy i hate him"
but adam is also very cute and attractive when he doesn't look miserable and he's loose-limbed and smiling sheepishly so. ronan is very conflicted
adam and blue dance and sing unplanned karaoke together. they have very similar music taste
adam constantly tries to make ronan playlists and play him songs that remind him of ronan...but ronan is like bro your music taste sucks
(it's actually immaculate, ronan is just silly)
that's all i have for now, thank you for the ask!!!
