“She recognized the strange happiness that came from loving something without knowing why you did, that strange happiness that was sometimes so big that it felt like sadness.”

THE RAVEN CYCLE by MAGGIE STIEFVATER
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them–until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her.
His name is Gansey, a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

The Raven Cycle characters as John Mulaney quotes
Gansey: “I need everybody, all day long, to like me so much. It’s exhausting”
“you could pour soup in my lap and I’d probably apologize to you”
Blue: “you have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair”
“I am very small, and I have no money. So you can imagine the kind of stress that I am under”
Ronan: “sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all”
“I’m very gay, I’d like a few dollars”
Adam: “I’ll keep all my emotions right here. And then one day I’ll die”
“In terms of like, instant relief, canceling plans is like heroine”
Noah: “I don’t look like someone who used to do anything. I look like I was just sitting in a chair eating saltines for 28 years and then walked right out here”
“What’s new pussycat?”
Henry: “I am a proud Asian American woman, and you will treat me with respect”
“I hear you honking, and I also don’t want me to be doing what I’m doing”
Bonus:
Kavinsky: “eat ass, suck a dick, and sell drugs”
Maura: “this is an office…” *looks at Ronan and Adam* “could be a nursery”
Mr. Gray: “one black coffee”
Malory: “Everyone get out of my way! I just want to sit here and feed my birds”

books come to life → The Raven Cycle
The church enveloped Gansey in an incense-scented pocket of air, a rare enough smell that it instantly evoked half a dozen memories of family weddings, funerals, and baptisms, every one of them summer. How strange that a season should be held captive in one breath of trapped air.
“Ronan?” The word was sucked into the empty space. It echoed off the unseeable ceiling far overhead so it was only his own voice, in the end, that answered him.
- Maggie Stiefvater, Chapter 9, The Raven Boys

it’s 2018 and I’m written so many words about Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish in the last year and I still think the best ship name I’ve ever seen for them in the TRC fandom is #the mechanic and the tool
