#trc thoughts

[pygmy--tyrant]

I think if we ever got bi declan real it would have been done in like a one paragraph anecdote in his internal monologue about the most boring gay experience in the world and never brought up again. like at some point he would've been like 'once declan had slept with a senator's son, a man with the false american charm and loud presence of one used to getting what they wanted, for the political advantage. he had left promptly the next morning as if merely returning from a meeting, and had spent almost a whole hour staring at guido reni's st sebastian which he had stolen from the dulwich gallery without anyone noticing. the twisting, erotic form of the man seemed untouchably alien to anything declan could reach. what declan had felt the night before was merely a polite transaction - nothing like the passion this saint achieved just by dying' and it would leave us still kinda uncertain as whether or not that means he's actually into men or not

#then MAYBE the st sebastian painting would be brought up again but he would never directly refer to the gay encounter after that #trc #the raven cycle #sapphire's random thoughts #declan lynch

kavinsky wanted to be ronans gay awakening so bad not aware that ronans gay was never even asleep to begin with.

"adam and ronan are a sun and moon pairing" yes and ronan is the sun. but specifically like this:

#having many thoughts #bc obviously ronan does not feel like a traditionally sunny character #but this. oh #and adam being the moon well. #i dont even want to think about the implications of gansey as the earth and adam and ronan both orbiting around him #oh ive made it worse for myself #anyway haha #pynch #adam parrish #ronan lynch #the raven cycle #trc #the dreamer trilogy #td3

i do not consume media. the media consumes me.

hennessy. hennessy. hennessy i am thinking of you. i am thinking about the significance of first vs last names in trc/tdt. how the difference between when ronan says “parrish” vs when he says “adam” MATTERS. there is softness, there is feeling in both but they are so very different. and i am thinking about how hennessy only has her last name, how she gave jordan — her first dreamt copy, her first real companion as a child — her first name. hennessy has Half a name, she is half a person. and the half she chose was the last name, the name that is arguably less yours. a last name is your Family name, it is something that signifies your place in a group, but without a first name, it does not differentiate you from the group — hennessy gave up her individuality by giving up her first name to jordan, becoming less real, less her in the process. but hennessy would always choose to do this because jordan is hennessy’s other half and she views her as her better half. and so she gave jordan the first name, because to hennessy, jordan is the orginal, better, jordan hennessy.

if Blue Sargent is half tree-person and Ronan Lynch is a sentient forest does that make them kin? Tree cousins? Forest family?

in an ideal tv adaptation of trc there is an absurd number of shots framed like pertinent tarot cards. calla upside down on the aerial silks hanged man pose. adam gets a meticulously framed but ultimately subtle magician card moment at fox way of course. and adam two/eight of swords with the blindfold. the gray man sleeping in tdt chapter 11 with the right number of vertically oriented objects behind him simulating knives in his back for the ten of swords. multiple iterations of the lovers. blue as the page of cups with her apple juice or yogurt cup. put gansey on a horse (metaphorical or otherwise) for death. idk!!!

If the raven cycle fandom has no more members, I am DEAD. This fandom may be dying, but I will never move on from this piece of media. Sorry to disappoint.

very interested in how the storyline of ronan's sexuality is developed in the dream thieves as a battle between kavinsky and gansey while adam is almost never present in these scenes, which makes it even more interesting that we found out in CDTH that ronan was set on adam the moment he saw him. i think that ronan is attracted on some level to both gansey and kavinsky (you can draw the lines of how much romantic intention you think he hold towards either of the yourself, that's a rabbit hole I would need a whole other post to go down) but more so I think he was attracted to the IDEA of both of them and certain qualities that each possessed, and that the real question wasn't does ronan want gansey or kavinsky because we know he wants adam but rather who's qualities resonate more with who ronan is, or who he is choosing to be at this critical moment in his character development. kavinsky is a dangerous thrill and often comes wrapped in ronan's other favorite self destructive attempts to outrun himself, while gansey is ronan's history and proof of his deep capacities for loyalty and love. he tells kavinsky it was never going to be me and you and that it's not going to be ronan and gansey because that was never the question- maggie was obviously always planning on bluesy and pynch. the answer to who ronan WANTS in adam. the question of who ronan IS- that's what he's trying to decide here. his self hatred is such a heavy weight on him and theme in tdt, and the kavinsky/gansey dichotomy represents the the path he will choose to take to deal with it- keep try to drive faster than his demons or accept that he can still be loved even if he isn't the person he once was. the dream thieves my beloved ronan lynch my beloved

#obviously I'm not the authority on this lmao these r just my thoughts but I would love to hear ur thoughts as well!!! #this has been in my drafts for a while while I kept updating and tweaking it but I think this is the best way to say what I'm trying to say #also lot of kavinsky posts here at kazbiter recently not very sure what's up w that #anyways yeah I really do think this is why she did it this way like I don't think kavinsky ever even says adams name?? i could b wrong tho #and I always found that interesting and while I appreciated he was the leader of ronsey nation I was like how does he not know abt adam #and this is my conclusion I think it was an active writing choice of Maggie's bc the dichotomy of gansey/kavinsky just really works for #ronans personal overarching plot of the book that is undoubtedly his in trc

wait. waitwaitwait guys. ronan is the car crash. gansey is the broken car. adam is the car mechanic. SHIT. i’m too tired to elaborate right now but i am having galaxy brain level thoughts atm

honestly ronan calling himself a dad in cdth is just him overcompensating for the fact that in pynch relationship he is clearly a mom. taking demonic children out of his dreamwomb. ovulating 24/7. manic giant nightmare girling in every single book. don’t worry sweetie, declan being a malewife does not cancel out you being one as well. it’s in your dna, go thank niall.

today i am thinking about ronan lynch always referring to adam as Adam in his thoughts and his monologue but using Parrish when talking to him or about him out loud. something about the illusion of distance, the pretence of detachment he clings onto in public.

#im not able to form more coherent thoughts rn #but adam doesnt do this as much as ronan and i think its very telling #yes adam refers to ronan as lynch too but much less consistently especially after they get together #and ronan not bothering with keeping up these walls in greywaren after waking up again and his first instinct is to look for adam #like him saying wheres adam? my adam. that broke me a little #yeah #pynch #ronan lynch #adam parrish #trc #td3

Adam telling gay jokes to Ronan is one of my favorite things in the series.

“to be loved is to be changed” but it’s adam parrish being loved unconditionally for the first time by gansey and then by ronan lynch and then by blue sargent and learning that love is supposed to be easy. like breathing. and finally accepting the love he has always deserved.

it’s so funny to me how i’ve had an on/off hyperfixation on the raven cycle for YEARS and i have read it so many times i can quote extensive parts on it and yet 90% of the time i see a post or someone analyzing it, it’s a completely new meaning to me. like how did i miss that. it’s like a fuckin onion man

#trc #the raven cycle #thoughts i have had in my head for a while #maybe its time to reread it!! #saw some fanart and i didn’t recognize the scene for like five minutes??? maybe my mental image is whack
