Can bunny hurry up and get killed I can't listen to him anymore
There's a long scene of Gilgamesh just asking enkidu about how different people are doing in the afterlife, I take it as like moral lessons on how people live their lives but god these two together are so fucking funny "they cannot mend his bones"
i know this isn't the point and i understand why the book didn't reveal this to us but i NEED to hear everybody's theories on how keema lost his left arm i'm just nosy like that
andrew minyard character of all time. he's toxic. he doesn't talk to cops. he has an identical twin brother and they hate each other. he made his identical twin brother promise not to have any other friends and then doesn't even talk to him. he might be a misogynist. his only friends are a born-again lesbian who can beat him up, the runaway son of a yakuza-affiliated serial killer, and his therapist. he's a student athlete. he hates sports. he killed his mother. he's a Mean Girl who runs his friend group like a cult. he's a crim major for the bit. he has an eidetic memory. he's petty. he likes to get people gifts. he does coke sometimes but says it doesn't have any effect on him because he has too many mental illnesses. he's the love interest. he doesn't smile. he was right about wwiii. y2k goth. repeatedly risks his life to help people in situations that have absolutely nothing to do with him and says it's out of boredom. when they picked him up from the psych ward he got in the driver's seat and blasted screamo the whole ride back and didn't say a single word to anyone. oh my god he is exactly five feet tall. he's even gay
literally every part of this book is insane without context and I love that
The Bowl of Heaven arc did give us some good things
random thoughts i’m having while rereading the trb (this is just in the first like 80 pages because im obsessed)
oh my god gansey canonically drinks frapaccinos (because he’s so 2013 hipster)
“i thought you were dead in a ditch” i love ronan
gansey is so unknowable in the books no wonder everyone’s so obsessed with him
love that adam’s crush on ronan manifests first through an obsession with declan. ronan and declan would both equally hate that
gansey and ronan do donuts with their cars?? they are the same
ganseys duality being shown through having a bunch of random history books and swimsuit magazines thrown around is so funny
declan, king. why would you bring your girlfriend to meet your estranged brother’s weird friends - and specifically ask said friends to make sure it’s when ronan is gone lmao he’s so weird
glendower doesn’t gets mentioned until pg.44 - we have to get through copious and lovely descriptions by adam of gansey’s psyche in order to find out like, the plot of the book
we sort of get hints of gansey being friends with both declan and ronan until nialls death and him ultimately picking ronan which, ouch.
WHY IS GANSEY SUCH AS ASSHOLE OH MY GOD BLUE RUN i love them
omg blue describes gansey as “very tall” and around the same height as the other boys - rip short king representation (this is not aftg ig)
CANNOT STRESS HOW VALID BLUE IS AND HOW STUPID GANSEY IS WHEN THEY MEET WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CREEPY GANSEY
“devil waitress ” and “evil” jesus christ gansey calm down
love the fact that while ronan and declan are fighting and gansey is breaking up the fight, adam is playing with a spongebob bouncy ball. unbothered king
little miss awful body temperature regulation is taking his hoodie off again
my @aftgsecretsnowflake for @szecretary sorry it’s not very Christmassy 😔
YES RICHARD DRINK THAT ORANGE JUICE!!
SEE IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE ALCOHOL
why is Richard sickly for like 95% of the book he's always complaining about being exhausted and faint and nauseous and riddled with headaches and his solution is LETS HAVE MORE PILLS AND ALCOHOL??
LIKE SIR PLEASE JUST EAT A VEGETABLE IM BEGGING U
