Chengsey 5ever @therealhenrycheng - Tumblr Blog

my best attempt at a masterlist of every chengsey moment in trk

ch. 6: henry calling gansey “richard-man” adj;fdkd

the slightly disturbing fact that henry told gansey his tailgate was open because he didn’t want to draw attention to the fact that there was a little girl curled up in the cargo space of the camaro….. like buddy what if gans was kidnapping her. now youre an accomplice.

ch. 12: “henry cheng stood before him, all hair and smile, his eyes intense.”

basically the mere fact that henry notices that gansey is having a panic attack/ptsd flashback and goes to help him in the middle of a crowd

“once, you got me coffee,” henry said. “when i was losing my mind. consider the favor returned.”

one of the things that helps gansey come out of his attack is making eye contact with henry

henry saying “there he is” when gansey calms down

ch 17: “both henry and gansey were kings in their respective territories”

gansey thinking about litchfield house: “to dine in fairyland was to be forced to stay there forever or to pine for it once you left” literally what the fuck gansey

“yo, yo, dick gansey” im so embarrassed for henry

“[litchfield house] did not look remotely like a place that might host a party. it looked like a place old ladies might go to die and remain undiscovered until the neighbors noticed a strange smell. it was utterly at odds with what gansey knew of henry.” ok i lied, that’s barely chengsey but i love it anyway.

gansey reflecting that he understands henry (more than blue does)

gansey reminding blue that henry’s car is electric bc he wants her to like his boyfriend

henry is fine with blue being at the toga party even though no other casual acquaintances are invited, just bc gansey vouches for her

ch. 29: ok honestly………. the whole chapter

BUT for the sake of thoroughness… henry calling gansey “junior”

henry: “i tucked in the children [after you left] and read them stories but they kept asking after you” and gansey LAUGHS

gansey is cagey about explaining why they left and henry lets it pass

“dick three”

flirting via knowledge of what happened in 1751

GANSEY 👏 KNEW 👏 THAT 👏 HENRY 👏 WAS 👏 RIGHT 👏 BY 👏 THE 👏 ZING 👏 OF 👏 FEELING 👏 IN 👏 HIS 👏 HEART 👏

and yes this is bc henry knows he’s looking for a “test of mettle”

“that feeling of being known. not in a superficial way, but in something deeper and truer.”

gansey: “what is my prize if i pass?” 👀

“the prize is your honor, mr. gansey.” doubly known. triply known.

gansey doesn’t know how to feel about being “so accurately pegged” 👀

“am i being kidnapped now?” oh, gansey. you shameless flirt (with bad timing)

“this is ganseylike too, yes?” which part? “secrets.”

gansey is “prepared to deploy” any combination of his fake, polite responses to heavy moments, but he understands that henry doesn’t need or want this from him, so he can just respond as his real, genuine self

both deeply traumatized at the age of 10?? is that kind of symmetry romantic?? (no but im including it)

“do you trust me?” [gansey’s dramatic ass thinks about how he intuitively knows who to trust] “yes.”

THEY HOLD HANDS!!!!!!! for a second when henry scares him with robobee but still!!!!

ch. 30: “richardman” again

henry telling gansey to breathe while literally cupping gansey’s hands between his

“be afraid and happy” the quote that defined a generation

henry saying “there he is” when gansey starts breathing again 💖

more touching, then “easy, mr. gansey”

“robobee, find great hair”

henry matching gansey’s dramatic ass like “i think we have to decide if we trust each other or not… i think this is the moment in our young friendship”

“are you saying your secrets are to my secrets as an automobile is to a carbonated beverage?” henry !!!!!!

“magical artifacts, bro”

henry: “are you collapsing? are you fine? i thought we were conversing”

gansey reflecting that henry is the closest thing to a soul-twin he’s ever found

“Get. Your. Number.” HENRY ASDJFKD;F

gansey noticing “henry’s wickedly cut eyebrows”

this part made me lose my shit….. gansey thinks that, even after all of the actual magic he’s seen, henry cheng is just as magical as everything else he’s found on this journey god help me

“because i’m overfull on secrets and underfed on friends” henry :’(

again, gansey bein gay…… thinking “henry’s eyes were lively and ferocious”

ch. 37: “[henry] had no real way to explain how he felt about trying to befriend richard gansey…” his love for richard is too big for words guyz

“LONGING TO BECOME FRIENDS”

when henry’s being kidnapped by mr. gray (also fuck you sir, how dare you hurt my son’s shoulder), he begs robobee to “tell someone who can make this stop,” and robobee alerts gansey, who calls mr. gray immediately !!!!

ch. 38: when he meets henry and mr. gray, gansey’s like, “this wasn’t the next step i wanted to take in our friendship”… ok gans tell us about the ‘next step’ you had been imagining then

when gansey confirms that they’re officially friends now: “now something else lit henry’s smile. it was genuine and pleased but also something more, and there were not quite words for it.” im gonna take a wild guess and say one word you might use would be ‘lust.’

ch. 49: gansey thinking of henry’s “be afraid and happy” advice when he needs strength to go after glendower…. im crying youre crying we’re all crying

ch. 51: robobee is basically a lovebee that tells henry when gansey needs him

henry using second person “thee” to refer to gansey 👀

henry lets gansey drive his car!!!

“i’ll watch for cops. go, go, go.” they’re like thelma and louise

henry lets gans drive his car along the steep side of a mountain with no guard rail! he must have been so scared but he let him do it!!!

gansey: “however do you drive?” henry: “i don’t. you do.”

“HE HAD TO TRUST HENRY”

henry reacting to gansey’s driving… “yay. also, woo.”

ch. 53: henry making a b&e joke but definitely also a sex joke that gansey will probably be up thinking about at 3 am for every night the rest of his life: “let us enter, dick, as i’ve already broken”

JEONG!!!!!! “we are friends at once, we would instantly do what friends would do for each other. not just pals. friends. blood brothers. you just feel it. we instead of you and me. that’s jeong.”

henry suggests splitting up and doesn’t question gans turning off his flashlight, because he’s PERFECT for gansey (me? dramatic? its more likely than you think)

ch. 54: gansey doesn’t ask henry to come with him once they find the tunnel bc he remembers that henry’s biggest fear is a hole in the ground (am i crying?? yes.)

henry literally giving gansey the shirt off his back!!!! (the shirt he’ll die in ok…. is it weird that i find it romantic that gansey will die wearing henry’s sweater)

ch. 55: GANSEY THINKING OF HTE ONCOMING SWARM AS “SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL” BECAUSE OF HENRY’S ADVICE

henry literally trying to reenact the princess bride with gansey like what the fuck?? “we have such few old treasures left; it would be so careless to let them get destroyed.”

gansey: “please. please help me.” henry: “i thought you’d never ask.” wtf why do they do this to me

ch. 58: henry tells gansey to pull over after they’re leaving glendower, and says, “stop driving. i know you need to. you’ve needed to since we left. get. out.” so gansey can get out of the car and cry 💖

ch. 59: henry casually calling gansey “president” as they’re binding adam’s hands???

ch. 64: while gansey’s official last words before dying are “it’ll be okay. i’m ready. blue, kiss me,” his SECOND-TO-LAST words are “thanks for everything, henry. you’re a prince among men.” like hwat hte hell dude….. are you even aware that youre in love..

ch. 66: henry is the one who demands they find a way to bring gansey back!!!

hypokeimena

every time henry vagues someone over petty drama on his blog he tags it “not gansey” bc he knows gansey will worry if he doesn’t… by contrast, every time blue vagueblogs, it’s about gansey

Canon Physical Traits of the Gangsey

GANSEY - very tan - would look great standing on a yacht - fantastically styled brown hair - hazel eyes, sometimes with nerd glasses (actual-nerd, not hipster-nerd) - classically handsome anglo-american bone structure - arm muscles worthy of the gods - hollywood smile - polo shirts in a range of pastels and brights - elitist shoes

ADAM - also very tan - short hair somewhere in the chromatic range of dirty blond to light brown - “pretty” blue eyes - taller than Gansey but shorter than Ronan - lean/lanky with narrow shoulders - “gaunt” - very pale eyebrows (and probably very pale lashes because of how genes work) - looks like he fought in the Civil War (both in appearance and tiredness level) - serious/sad expression

NOAH - “smudgy”, whatever the hell that means - blond hair, presumably in whatever style was popular for rich white boys in the mid-2000’s - small eyes and large ears - always wearing school uniform - looks like a decaying ghoul when viewed from an unflattering angle

BLUE - short and choppy dark hair with bangs and lots of clips - large eyes - generally hot, according to Adam and Gansey at least - approx. 5 feet tall - dresses like she has watched every youtube video on how to “upcycle” your clothing

RONAN - blue eyes and dark eyebrows - buzzed hair and back tattoo, obviously - pale skin that begs for a sunburn - chiseled nose - chiseled muscles - “handsome”, according to everyone - marginally taller than Adam and considerably taller than Gansey - either scowling grumpily or smiling smirkily - usually wearing a tight af black tank top and edgy distressed jeans - can grow a beard in like under a week

HENRY - cheekbones that could slice off your entire face - flawless eyebrows - hair that doesn’t believe in gravity - actual model

It’s me!!

the question isn’t IF henry has called ronan “ronana banana,” it’s whether henry was able to run away fast enough

How to look good while being kidnapped for the second time in your life, a guide by Henry Cheng

the raven cycle character aesthetics: what's in their bags edition

gansey: a crumpled map of crudely sketched ley lines, a heavy leather book marked with sticky notes, a small box of epipens, polished car keys, old receipts from Nino's, a spare pair of tortoise shell glasses

adam: tarot cards neatly packed together, one blue pen with a lost cap, a school notebook nearly falling apart, half used hand lotion from ronan, rusted car keys, extra change

ronan: a chipped lighter, a nearly empty silver flask, a crucifix pendant looped into a rope chain, a folded photo of aurora lynch, old cassette tapes, snacks for chainsaw

blue: three chapsticks, an unopened cup of blueberry yogurt and a tiny plastic spoon taped to the top, a bunch of colorful hair clips, a broken choker necklace, an unopened bag of pressed flowers, a beaded compact mirror

noah: a glittery snow globe, a set of used coloring pencils, a picture of his unsmudgy self when he was alive, a couple toy race cars from his childhood, a fuzzy blanket, a picture of the gangsey smiling

henry: bits of crushed metal from god knows what, a spare ringer t-shirt in case his current shirt gets wet for some reason, tools to fix robobee just in case, expensive hair gel, baseball cap with the word 'bro', snackbox of kimchi because he's always hungry
