I feel like most people forget Adam is almost as much of a nerd as Gansey, he's just more... covert about it.
are we gonna talk about Andrew using his eidetic memory to draw something?? like he doodles in his notebook during lectures and it's the most fucking accurate sketch of a gothic building you've ever seen? like babe you do have a hobby, Neil just doesn't know about it, does he?
do you have a secret sketchbook hidden under your mattress that's filled with drawings of Renee's smile or Kevin's broken hand? do you memorize every one of Neil's scars to make a map of them in your book? are you gonna reveal that secret and show Neil your stupid drawings?
does Nicky miss his boyfriend so much that once he finds a rough sketch of Eric between the sheets of his book? it's fucking creepy till he finds the note saying 'a.j.m. used him as a reference'
does Kevin look surprised, when you pass him a piece of paper, not knowing yet that you made a research about his mother to draw her as perfect as you can?
does Aaron smile when you give him a drawing of his stupid girlfriend or he silently folds it into his wallet and strides away?
does Bee starts to collect your doodles of insects that you make during your sessions? can Wymack hold back his tears when he finds a portrait of Seth Gordon on his desk, knowing who has the access to his study and a fucking huge warm and loving heart under the layers of not giving a fuck about life? you tell me.
I'm pretty sure I wrote it down somewhere, but it was either just after I finished reading the series or while I was reading it that I remember thinking vividly "the difference between feral and unhinged is neil and andrew" and every day I think about how accurate that statement is
little miss awful body temperature regulation is taking his hoodie off again
This is such a revealing passage in regards to how Neil views other people and the world in general. He's so compartmentalized he just straight-up won't process information he deems irrelevant to the things he cares about if it takes any extra time or effort.
I think he's probably so hypervigilant that he notices almost everything going on around him at all times but that's way too much information to deal with, especially when reacting and making decisions quickly is a matter of life and death like it often is for him, so he does this. Filters out everything unnecessary so he can focus only on what's most important.
headcanon that neil and andrew don't necessarily hide their relationship in public but also absolutely refuse to acknowledge it. neil asked about his relationship with andrew "yeah i hate that guy", andrew asked if he and neil are actually together "i don't know who neil josten is" and then someone will spot them kissing in the car and they'd both be like "this is not our car"
I really love the idea that when Neil and Andrew get completely comfortable sharing a bed they’re both actually horrible to sleep with. Neil talks in his sleep and kicks. Andrew is a bed/blanket hog, he’s also a cuddler but in the way that he’s laying on Neil (he claims it’s to stop Neil from kicking him).
as someone who loves assigning university majors to people i feel very strongly that blue and gansey ARE NOT both sociology majors!!
first off they do not give weird couple who do everything together and study the same things like they have seperate interests
and you’re telling me that gansey, who intended to devote his entire life to finding a dead welsh king who would not become a slightly unhinged history student who somehow knows every little detail about really niche welsh historical events in an introduction to western history class??
and you’re telling me that blue sargent, a girl with her eyes on the stars and heart in the trees would not become an eviornmental science and political science double major and get in fights with people in her classes on the daily??
