the more you reread trc the more you realize adam was the freak all along ronan was the normal one
"For the love of...Parrish, take some care, this is not your mother's 1971 Honda Civic"
Adam lifted his head and said, "They didn't start making the Civic until '73".
- The Raven Boys, p 238
Kojiro learned to braid hair and practiced on karou as a early teen, originally to impress girls but both karou and kojiro really liked it so it just turned into a thing that he would do anytime he was sitting/standing behind karou.
i’m sure only a very niche audience will understand this but weiss schnee and jeremy knox have SUCH a similar back stories in terms of family but they ended with opposite personalities (literally weiss’s nickname being “ice queen” and jeremy being compared to sunshine a bunch) anyways it drives me insane
Your honour he’s actually just a little guy who loves his raven
NO BC IM REREADING TRB AND THAT HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK
Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because you remembered Ronan Lynch canonically plays tennis
i'm being so serious when i say that this book warped my perception of what any sort of relationship should look like. is it healthy to want to exclusively feel soul-crushing love for the friends you choose or to know you would absolutely give up every single piece of yourself to them if they asked? probably not, but nothing else feels worth any effort and maggie stiefvater is to blame for that.
sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?
“Brat summer,” I whisper to myself as I kidnap my crush’s little brother and threaten to set him on fire because said crush didn’t want to come to my party.
