adam parrish looks different every time you see him. that’s partially demonstrated in the first chapters of cdth, but sometimes his hair is red. sometimes it’s a spunky strawberry blond, or a golden brown, or hay colored yellow. the skin under his eyes is so thin that it gets all purple and veiny, especially when he’s tired but that’s kind of always. sometimes his skin is a sickly sort of grayish yellow but others it’s a dusty tan, a product of working on his cars in the virginia sun. his clothes always seem to fit him differently, it’s the way they hang or perhaps the way he holds himself. every once in a while he has these scary, angry, blue eyes, an inherited gift from his father — but more often theyre the same muddy grey as the sky he looked up at, clouds rolling in overhead, from when he was young. he is stringy and small and six feet tall at the same time. unlike gansey, this has never been “all there is.” and it never will be.

RIP Holden Caulfield, you would have hated social media
The sillies!! they’re athletes! they survive on cigarettes! It’s okay!!
btw I totally agree w/ everything I ever post ever in it’s entirety with no further engagement, you can quote me on that and burn me at the stake for it. I am a bare husk of pseudo-existence and you alone possess complexity

My bf has been telling me the recent discourse that has been surrounding Kevin Day on this god awful social media platform (I live in peace and harmony where everyone I interact with/follow likes him so I’m having a great time)
BUT WITH THAT HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
stop reading solely from Neil’s perspective, or if you are going to, at least acknowledge that he is unreliable.
We as readers know that we cannot trust any opinion that comes out of that kids mouth and this is proven multiple times not only by him straight up lying but by the way he interacts with the world around him and his private thoughts on situations. Why WOULD this deeply traumatized 19 year old runaway have sound characterization of everyone he is around.
Kevin is a character that is rooted fundamentally in his environment, he is a product of that. If you want to make critiques about how that is written, be my guest, you absolutely should, but you should not completely disregard his narrative purposes because of your problematic fav.
He is 21, a college student trying to not only heal from what should have been a career ruining injury but also just the mental hellscape that he abruptly left and abandoned after spending his entire childhood submitting to, and the future it provided. I think it’s okay if he’s a little rude sometimes, he’s human.
They all are, that is the point.
Currently sitting in my break room at work thinking so unbelievably hard about Ronan Lynch I am going to turn into a red mist.
