MmmMMmm Thoughts On The Raven King,

           Her body had never known what to do. Now it knew.                                          Her mouth didn’t care that it was cursed.

the quote “while i’m gone, dream me the world” becomes so much more tragic if you realize gansey knew he was going to die and he was literally going to be gone forever and he knew how self-destructive ronan was and he didn’t want ronan to ever stop dreaming or lose his magic because of him even if he was dead

The gods are right here, as far-fetched as it sounds: everyone’s a god, no kings, no crowns, just us, one being, infinite and holy,  gods, messed up, lonely, squashed, stressed out, dumbed down, raging, wasted … Same as it ever was: brand new ancients.

witches around the globe → new orleans the witches of new orleans are fiery, carefree creatures. they live in a city of dreams and music. nestled amongst the messy, noisy streets, the witches of new orleans give futures to anyone willing to sell them their secrets.

Can you imagine all the upperclassmen sitting around talking about Neil? Exchanging all the little things they learned about them that day? 

 like 

Matt slamming into the girls dorm hissing, “he hates vegetables, he told this to me, he hates vegetables but he loves fruit.” And all the girls gasp. 

“He sent me a TT A TT emoji from his English class.” Renee says. She’s been saving this information until just this moment when they’re all together. She’d seen it in the middle of her tutor session and delicately touched her fingers to her mouth.

“Nicky taught him that.” Matt snaps his fingers and points at her, excited that he knows another thing. 

“He hates his English class, it bores him to tears but he said it’d be useful.” Dan says. 

“Isn’t he taking a speech class or something? Maybe it’s for interviews?” Allison says, because being pulled into The Great Neil Josten Mystery is honestly the best thing to happen in weeks. The first time she laughed since, well, ya know, was when Neil ate a beet for the first time in the cafeteria and immediately stuck his tongue out far enough for the beet to fall off. 

 "What could his english class be useful for? What could he mean. Does he want to be a writer? Does he like books? What’s this about?“ Matt paces around the room and they just spend hours breaking down everything they know about their new fox. 

 Until the fox in question comes in to hang out with them before his practices with Kevin. And their heads just snap to him like “NEIL.” 

 And it startles him every time.

Anti-villain motivations besides "tragic past"

They do bad things because they’re scared.

They’re gullible or misinformed. Example: somebody who has been told the heroes are out to hurt them.

They are desperate for interaction, validation, kindness, or attention, and the dark side gives them those things. 

They want to change their allegiance, but are pressured by people close to them to stay evil.

They have an otherwise noble goal that they will do literally anything to achieve. Example: somebody who wants to protect their child, even if it means throwing other children into danger.

The houses snap chat stories

Gryffindor: The outdoors, running in the park, going to the gym, hanging out with friends, road trips.

Ravenclaw: Libraries, cup of tea and their latest novel, museums and galleries, out of focus pictures of the night sky.

Hufflepuff: Freshly baked cake, movie night with friends, cute cats/dogs spotted on the street, music festivals.

Slytherin: Half faced selfies, hot coffee and cigarettes, books, daily picture of their cat/dog, bed hair, the clock showing that they are awake at 3 am.

[1] it's getting cold outside. it's has snowed way too much and the gang are literally stuck @ monmouth because it's just much to dangerous to drive home with the amount of snow that has fallen and continues to fall. i dont even know where i'm going with this. i just imagine huge cuddle puddles on gansey's bed, copious amounts of hot chocolate being consumed, noah being banished for a bit cause HE'S mAKING IT COLD! a lot of poking and "who did that's?", sappy platonic love confessions

[2] “i love you all so much i could kiss you” everyone halfheartedly wiggles away from gansey cheek kisses. what a sap. they love him too. adam and blue fall asleep in the cuddles first. gansey and ronan don’t bother continuing much of a conversation after that. they watch the snow fall from the windows until their eyes are too heavy to keep open. Noah makes sure they all have covers on them so they don’t get sick. he loves them so much.

this is so dang cute gdi 

Idk if I skipped this out in the books or something but how does Gansey get his mint leaves? Does he buy them or does he have a mint plant called Richard Campbell Gansey IV? Its something that's been bugging me for a while now

Dear rico-di-angelo,

I don’t like to talk about this because children read this blog too, but I guess they’re on Tumblr, they can handle the truth. 

Once a week after his Ethics class Gansey gets in the Pig and he meets a guy parked in a Taurus behind the Henrietta Dairy Freeze and he says do you have anything for me and the guy says yeah man mentha spicata just like always I know what you like and then Gansey thumbs through his wallet and gives him, like, four laundromat tokens. The guy is all hey I always wondered why you didn’t just chew mint gum like all the other Aglionbros? and Gansey snaps I don’t pay you to ask questions. 

Also it says in the books there’s a mint plant on his desk but that could be a coincidence.

urs,
