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)

the way that jesper and kaz stop fighting when colm fahey enters the room is a sweet detail, because under all their bastard of the barrell and criminal sharpshooter personas respectively it makes us realise they are, after everything, just children.
Adam Parrish really is THE character cuz he's a bisexual magical straight A student with self worth issues but he also casually killed a guy and was like "why do i have to do everything myself- gansey stop screaming- you're welcome"
adam @ gansey in the infamous fight in trb:

Accept my offering dear SoC tumblr fandom
Based on this meme!!
fanon: Jesper wants Wylan because he is a second Kaz
canon: Jesper doesn't want Wylan to be like Kaz
say what you will about leigh bardugo's worldbuilding choices but "guy who's hiding his superpowers is so constantly understimulated he developed a gambling addiction to cope" is fucking brilliant actually
Declan being called a “man-whore” but within months of meeting Jordan, he’s like “by the time we’re married….”
I imagine he was just as much of a romantic as Ronan the whole time—he just wasn’t allowed to be.
absolutely no other fictional character will EVER top ronan lynch in yearning. in devotion. "a combination that focused most of the objects of Ronan's worship into one downtown block" oh. "his feelings for Adam were like an oil spill" oh!!! "it was a choice between death and hurting adam, and that wasn't much of a choice at all" OH. he was on a whole other level
ronan was so real for skipping having a crush and going straight into para-religious devotion at the first sight of adam
