Do U Know How Much This Scene Means 2 Me

when a character is empty-handed & surrounded by weapons pointed at them but they're calm and maybe even smiling, and the attackers are the ones who look afraid??? very sexy i think

Positivity time! ✨ Do you have a favorite pynch dialogue exchange, sentence, or excerpt from the books?

i couldn’t pick just one so here’s a collection of pynch moments that make me lose my mind 🥰

1. the post-aurora’s death scene (aka, adam meeting ronan where he’s at and sleeping in the car with him because he LOVES him and knows the best way to support him is with his continued silent presence)

2. this scene from the opal story (aka, ronan meeting adam where he’s at and mirroring him because he LOVES him and knows the best way to support him is by literally putting them both on equal footing)

3. the horror movie twins scene (aka, the moment where i went from being casually invested in this ship to 100% willing to die for them. or frame a man for them)

4. the demon possession scene (aka, the moment that makes me cry every time without fail. the horror + tragedy!! the love + vulnerability!! adam standing only because ronan did not allow him to sink!! 😭)

5. and lastly, this gem from bllb, which i think illustrates their dynamic perfectly:

[alexiaugustin]

when adam was at court to testify against his abusive father so he was forced to face him again and he had a panic attack and suddenly ronan and gansey showed up and stayed at his side the entire time and adam, for the first time of his life, realizes that they do this for him not because they think that he can't be independent but because they love him and that moment is the first time where accepting support is a sign of love instead of weakness for him. im gonna go cry

I think it’s safe to say once Ronan gets over himself and his feelings, he’s gonna become the biggest huggle monster. Just… 100% flaunting of Adam 100% of the time. “Look at him. Look. Just look how perfect he is.”

mister impossible (2021) got me through a bad time in life by making it worse

[corvidaequeer]

Ronan seeing Adam with his Harvard friends: oh God they're so queer and cool and they're Adam's new bestfriends he likes them better than me and its just a matter of time before Adam leaves me for his cool new friends I knew this would happe-

Declan seeing Adam with the exact same Harvard friends: oh God these kids think they're actually friends with Adam but he just keeps them at an arms length and only shows his true self to Ronan the only reason I'm being slightly let in is because of my proximity to Rona-

Can we please talk about how Hennessey perceived Bryde in Ronan's dream??? When he was getting choked by nightwash and they had to pull him back?

Because this

She was aware of a companion making their way beside her, although she couldn't see them. She could hear their process, though, the scrabble and skitter of feet on the rocks. Her companion seemed lighter than her, different than her, although the sound might have been distorted by the hidden landscape.

It seemed more like a body hopping and flapping, talons or claws finding purchase before lifting off. But it could not be a bird, she thought, because a bird would fly.

sounds an awful lot like Ronan's night horrors from tdt.

It makes sense because both of them were, in a way, created through and with Ronan's self hatred, and in Ronan's dreamspace - which is where Bryde comes from - he gravitates more into his original form.
