all I’m saying is that if pro-lifers were actuallyabout protecting children’s lives…they’d also demand that the father serves as an obligatory blood and organ donor later.

one of my favourite little details in trc is that when someone else is narrating and gansey swears, you read the swear, but when gansey is narrating, he breathes out an unspecified swear word in a dignified manner, and you will not get to know it, because swearing is unganseylike
