The Images Inside The Phone Soothe The Sad Idiot Woman

you havent experienced jealousy until you read the raven cycle and want to be apart of gansey’s band of merry men. or whatever.

what i like about the raven cycle is that the romance feels casual. most ya books (and many books in general) always have this profuse, gigantic focus and romance, which often weakens the plot and other elements of the story like character development or worldbuilding. but in trc, it fits right into the story as maggie stiefvater doesn't force it into the story, but lets it interact with the different aspects of the book and only distributes it healthy bits.

like, the characters have a life outside of their romance arc—they have their own motives, make their choices, pursue leisure activities and bond with other characters in a platonic way.

i personally really love that about the book because it shows how you can have romance subplots (plural!) without making the readers feel that there is nothing else in the book. we have the search for glendower, the pov characters' inner conflicts, the vanishing of maura, the appearance of the villains, family problems and mundane problems like school exercises and slightly eerie, old people that stay over at your house because they want to help you find a living corpse.

it's just that the book doesn't focus on one particular aspect (especially not the romance one, which is what the blurb unfortunately indicates) and i live for it.

I loved making this table set✨🪐🪻

this scene gave me so much mental illness I can’t even explain what this did to me

Ronan Lynch — Greywaren

Just a reminder that the whole graphic novel will be THIS BEAUTIFUL ‼️‼️

random headcannons i have for the raven cycle:

gansey was long-distance dating a girl in washington when he moved to henrietta and after a couple months he just forgets that they were dating, it’s not until ronan answers his phone that they break up

blue has a pin that says “fuck the bees” that really confuses her environmentalist group in university

adam becomes fox way’s handyman and cannot come over without replacing at least one lightbulb

blue calls adam and gansey “nick and gatsby”

the fox way cats hate gansey. like he cannot leave fox way without a million scratches

adam and ronan are exactly the same height. like unnervingly so - so they truly look like horror movie twins and are on equal ground

even when ronan moves to the barn he still comes by and checks in on gansey at monmouth randomly

part 2

searching for a dead welsh king

i know homophobic bully turns out to actually be gay themselves is a pretty standard trope but i don't think anyone has ever done it with quite the same commitment as joseph kavinsky. he literally sent gansey a dick pic from ronan's phone. like why did you do that king
