I like how Nora tried to make us believe there was something between Renee and Jean like- no- that's a lesbian collecting traumatized gay men to be her friends like they're Pokémon

No but you don’t understand. In years to come, one day Neil and Andrew will finally hit a point of complete trust, where both of them are still a bit cracked and shattered, still riddled with stone walls and iron gates to guard themselves- but with eachother, those walls are down.
Neil will still have nightmares, because those don’t ever fully go away. He’ll wake up screaming or nauseous, but the thing is- he won’t feel the need to hide it. He’ll instinctually turn to Andrew for comfort, instinctively letting him in, letting him see the twisted damaged version of himself that lies under his surface.
And Andrew? Andrew will open his arms for him without a second of hesitation. He’ll let Neil fall into his embrace, therefore allowing touch that isn’t fully spelled out or perfectly permissioned. He’ll let Neil cling to him as he chokes on his own breath, he’ll sooth him with careful touches and nonsense words.
And in that moment of brokenness- both of them will realize that they’re one step closer to whole.

something about jean dying in all the other drafts really gets me like wdym no one would ever have known how soft and caring he was underneath it all or how he had a sister or how he put away the leftovers without asking and cared enough to ask about the safety of someone he barely knew and how he was desperate to love and be loved all along. ofcourse kevin and renee and neil wouldn't have forgotten him but they did not know all the pieces of who he was and what he survived and what he was trying to be, in his heart of hearts. jeremy will know, eventually. but what if he never did? what if no one ever ended up truly knowing him and loving him and saving him? would they piece the deepest parts of his heart by the postcards and magnets and memories of a too soft boy in a too cruel world?

If I had a nickel for every time I read a book titled “The Raven King” in 2024, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right?

The way Katniss is just stumbling through the Hunger Games like "I can keep Peeta alive through sheer willpower combined with how much everyone loves him cause he's the most wholesome and perfect person in the whole universe" and Peeta is out here making these elaborate plans; i.e., "she came here with me", "if it weren't for the baby", the locket with pictures of her mom and Prim, and GALE??? Wanting to make alliances.
Like, one of you is Haymitch's carbon copy and it shows.
