you know those super chaotic tiktoks that feature a group of teenage boys doing something wholesome yet stupid and ridiculous? That’s just the raven boys incarnate. anyway in this essay i will
“more than anything, the journal wanted. it wanted more than it could hold, more than words could describe, more than diagrams could illustrate. longing burst from the pages, in every frantic line and every hectic sketch and every dark-printed definition. there was something pained and melancholy about it.”
Did you know that in Celtic culture the ley lines were also called the paths of the dragon? Because the Celts believed the dragons to be intelligent and powerful so their usual paths were thought to be special - Druids were drawing them and telling people to built important sanctuaries on them.
I am now back to school and busier than ever, which means I am too tired to read most evenings, even when I can find a few minutes to spare. So, the later half of my weekends shall be spent reading my books! I am still making my way through the Raven Cycle, but after today’s reading session, I have made a ton of progress.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy back-to-school season, wherever you are!
the implication of the raven king epilogue being that adam is now driving ronan’s car around town is so funny to me because gansey’s definitely pissed off knowing all he had to do to get adam accepting help is kiss him on the mouth repeatedly
The way Adam said it made the fireplace quiver, as if something dark had just rolled off his tongue to engulf the living room. Gansey held his gaze in a comfortable silence. It sounded like a warning.
“What are we doing?”, he said again.
Gansey attempted an innocent smile. “We’re drinking scotch and talking about…”
“You know,” Adam interrupted him, “what I mean.”

Merry Christmas with this idea I’ve had in my mind ever since Evermore came out last year. In this post-canon ‘verse, with the gangsey heading towards their thirties, Blue and Henry on the other side of the world, and Adam and Ronan’s relationship on the rocks, Gansey and Parrish both find themselves in DC during the holidays - Gansey at his parents house, Adam just passing by for the weekend. And the road not taken looks real good now.
Like many other stories, this too shall remain unpublished and hidden in my phone notes, but I couldn’t help drawing something from it! Also, I have been so obsessed by this concept that I also made a gifset for it last year. And of course I have an all-TS playlist for Adam and Gansey called yee-haw, ‘cause duh.
Hope your holiday season is filled with love and warmth
