Another Year Has Passed, Another Year You Get To Be Second

my markers were in order like this and my only thought is is Neil Josten.

tall, thin, almost skeletal and sharp barty, with sleepy eyes and a smug smile, who walks in the corridors with slightly rounded shoulders and, when he's sitting, he stretches his legs and his feet under the table collide with the shoes of the other death eaters. barty, who laughs at the most inappropriate moments, loud and maniacal, who licks his lips, runs a long, bony finger over the surface of a piece of furniture and collects the dust. his face is more hollow than usual and his hair is disheveled, but his gaze is lively and his movements are fluid, magnetic. barty, who speaks to evan with his chin on his shoulder, exhaling his warm breath, words, laughter, directly onto his neck. barty, curled up in an armchair, with his knees pulled up to his chest, while he scrapes his tongue on the serrated part of his upper teeth, one corner of his mouth slightly lifted up, who wonders how much of his body he can fit into evan's; if, by pressing himself a little, he could ever get under his skin, if there is room for him too, if evan would ever welcome barty inside him like a second soul...

Character, book, and author names under the cut

Ronan Lynch & Adam Parrish- The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

Evan being a complete asshole to everyone, just an intolerable guy altogether and Barty starts hanging out with Regulus and calling Evan out on his bullshit attitude towards Regulus and Pandora. Evan's being more of a nonchalant asshole and Barty needs him to be good for once and somehow he gets through.

I mean, Evan learns to sympathize with Barty, because what happy Minister's son gets into death eating without a little trauma? What can Barty do to change the perfect man's mind when the man treats everyone around him like a toy?

detail thoughts:

- love ronan’s obviously expensive (non-uniform) coat, intrigued that his tattoo doesn’t reach to his neck as far as we can see

- love how noah’s “crushed” side is blocked, also curious if he’ll often be blocked/awkward in panel compositions? could be a cool concept?

- love blue and ronan having the same gaze! yes! lusting for gansey. who said that.

- adam’s slight mullet. justice. plus great contrast to the three other boys all having identical clean cuts on the back of their heads. and i know it’s just dramatic sunlight but if he really had a kinda shitty bleach job i wouldn’t be mad

- everyone has freckles thank u sas

- blue with the classic ➿ choker! and bushy eyebrows!!! also i always forgot how short she’s supposed to be like damn. excited to see how they’ll play into that visually! and her being the only one with her full face shown is nice <3 i wish it was more obvious that she’s the main character but i respect that it’s lowkey too!

in conclusion: look how far we’ve come thank god <3

Rip rosekiller, you wouldve loved watching scream and saying "literally us" everytike stu and billy interact 💔

Okay but what lives rent free in my head is the literal connection between K and the devil in trc (or at least how i understood it)

I don't know do y'all remember the scene or made the connection like i did, but it was in the end of tdt, before the party and adam and persephone were fixing the leyline,

There was the repeated hurry mentioned, hurry hurry hurry but adam didn't know why, until there was a white mitsubishi- K's car (Adam wasn't sure was it K, but i think the gray man was elsewhere and that'd also be the time K went to kidnap matthew (it was K's car so the connection is to K))

right after was this:

Persephone turned over a card. The Devil.

All of a sudden, Adam was quite certain of why they were hurrying.

THE DEVIL im not crazy right? How i see it, (im gonna ignore how maggie made the easiest way out of this and gonna focus on other things) is that K's tarot is the devil, straight connection right?

it could also be a way of showing the blatant black and white of ronan and K, because K thinks that he's a god, but what and is he really the devil (yes i say), that'd for me to mean ronan was the god

after all, (im not religious nor catholic) but they think god as good (i hope or im rlly out of religion), and when it comes to dreaming ronan is the greywaren at the end, not a thief, he uses his power for good

K was made to be the bad person, but also from my perspective (+ now adding the religious one a bit), the devil isn't bad, it has a very different view of the world and whats right and whats wrong compared to god who has stricter limits or separating good and bad, black and white of each other (ying and yang shit), which is why the devil fits K so well, and god more or less ronan

(added, satan is an undername for the overall term of the devil (which might not be correct (im not sure (i think?))) but satan is often associated with fire and also is angel of Death / is seen as the fallen angel which once again, fits K)

it also might be that satan and the devil are two different, (i acc think this one is the more correct), satan could be "the god of evil" but not certainly the devil, (also lucifer is different than either of those, but satan and lucifer both under devil, (not the devil itself)) (please tell me if you know how satan, the devil and lucifer go because i do not know for sure)

I know many people have said it. I know everyone knows. But I'm going to say it again.

Andrew never intended to survive the car crash.
