Jean being real asf
I love Henry Cheng because where tf did he come from??? Like there was absolutely zero mention of him in the first two books and suddenly he appears out of thin air with enough charisma to feed a small family and a robotic bee. Oh and also his mom is a crime boss?? So there’s that
My favorite character in aftg is Neil’s hair. Because wdym after years of being on the run and constantly having to change his identity AND play a dangerous physical sport he still kept his gorgeous locks? He could have saved himself half the trouble of dyeing and holding it back by just getting a buzz cut, but the poor guy just didn’t have the heart to cut it.
this is a post born primarily out of personal interest/necessity but i hope it will be useful to other people too. outtakes and cut scenes from trc have been floating around fandom spaces for a while, but they are infuriatingly hard to track down: some of them have been reblogged without tags and are therefore lost in the depths of tumblr, some i did not get to reblog before maggie deleted her tumblr, and some were posted to twitter and subsequently deleted.
so, since i was tired of having to dig through months and months of my trc tag (and often coming up empty handed), i decided to compile all the deleted scenes i could into this post. it is possible that i have forgotten some, and if that is the case, please let me know.
i owe a big debt of gratitude to kelly @harvardparrish for compiling a downloadable archive of maggie’s tumblr; most of the outtakes below i retrieved by browsing maggie’s “how i write” tag in the archive and taking screenshots of the relevant posts. others were screenshots that were posted to twitter by maggie, which i managed to save before the tweets were deleted.
enjoy!! (under a cut for length and future edits)

I hate when all the banter and quips immediately end after two characters start a relationship. Like let them love and hate each other! It’s not enemies to lovers if they just magically stop arguing after one kiss.
Everyone always talks abt the Pynch wedding but I lowkey feel like they wouldn’t have one. In fact, I feel like they would just sign the papers and not tell anyone until one day Gansey, Blue, and Henry come to visit the barns and one of them notices the ring and is like “wait wtf you’re engaged?” and Ronan just gives them a weird look and replies “we’re married” and then all hell breaks loose.
Sometimes I’m okay and then I remember that at the end of trk Noah is literally just gone. Like no one remembers him. It’s like he never existed in the first place and no one can even be sad about that because they DON’T EVEN REMEMBER GOD IM GONNA BE SICK NO ONE KNOWS THAT HE LOVES GLITTER AND SPIKY HAIR AND HATES BEING ALONE AN
My favorite plot twist in trc was Ronan being an absolute fucking loser. Like wdym the stoic spontaneous bad boy listens to EDM and wants to be a farmer??? And people are SCARED of him??? Please.
Burning oceans, hand kinks, whatever whatever LOOK AT HOW RONAN DREAMS OF ADAM HE LITERALLY WORSHIPS HIM
I’m actually crying whose decision was it to have Lloyd’s edgy montage scene be him jumping from the rooftops with Hard Knock Life from Annie playing in the background
