things adam parrish receives in the mail during his first semester at college:
six books from gansey about mythology, ley lines, and glendower, all sticky-noted with things gansey has noticed in his studies. most of these sticky notes have questions for adam on them. some of them have doodles of fast cars and girls with spiky hair. some of them have beatles lyrics. adam keeps all of them, replacing gansey’s sticky notes with his own before sending them back.
thirty-two letters from blue, all of which he has responded to and kept. they both have pay-by-the-minute phones now–a necessity, given the distance in the group–but blue sent adam a two-page letter during his first week at the dorms, and it made adam feel so much less alone that he just never stopped. they talk about a lot of things–what’s happening at fox way (told to blue, away at her own school, over the phone by orla and calla and her mother), how ronan and gansey are doing, whether or not adam’s checked in with the student disability center about accommodations for his hearing, whether or not blue and checked in about her dyslexia, how big and wide and vast the world outside of Henrietta is for two people who have never really left its boundaries.
three mixtapes from ronan, along with various knickknacks and dream things that make adam’s heart squeeze in his chest and laughter bubble from his lips. a pair of headphones specifically for someone with single-sided deafness, a tin-can that works as a walkie talkie (one of a five-piece set), a bag of candy from that local place that adam likes. letters, but not long, like blue’s–short things, like tracklists or scraps of paper with “i fucking miss you” or “your roommate sounds like a dick” or “2 weeks” written on them in a messy hand
little notes from noah, stuck in with ronan’s mail–things that say “ronan wouldn’t let me put blink182 on your mixtape :(” or “ronan went red for like two days when those flowers showed up” or "we maybe kind of adopted your old dog and she’s the best??”
a small package from fox way that comes once a month–like the one blue gets–full of slightly burned cookies and magical advice and, on a few occasions, notes that calla or maura have found while going through persephone’s things that mention him. calla writes him, sometimes, and adam is getting better at knowing that it’s not just because he meant something to persephone.
the foxes → some of the strongest people i’ve known are women
gansey: *sighs dramatically, looking out the window*
ronan: what, is adam late for your nerd circle jerk?
gansey: *face pressed into the glass* yes
aristotle & dante quotes: 7/?
I wanted to tell them that I never knew that people like Dante existed in the world, people who looked at the stars, and knew the mysteries of water, and knew enough to know that birds belonged to the heavens and weren’t meant to be shot down from their graceful flights by mean and stupid boys.
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,

hi imagine adam and ronan getting into a fight where adam storms out of monmouth and gansey calls him hours later like “can you please come do something with your boyfriend?” and in the background he can hear the clutter of noah and ronan making a makeshift band out of crap around monmouth and playing blink 182′s I Miss You
honestly the main thing I got from your last reply is that we should start a campaign to get maggie to write a spin off book with henry cheng as the main character
just imagine following the adventures of henry cheng as he overthrows the corrupt power structure of aglonby, increases the stock value of starbucks via lackeys, does modeling shoots with horses, and freaks out every time his car gets a slight scratch on it
meanwhile in the background you have hints of dick gansey’s gay welsh cult running around being weird and otherworldly and henry wanting to make out with gansey but ultimately not pining or being too worried by it not happening
Neil: I've been running my whole life.
Andrew: Then quit running. Stand up for yourself.
Neil: Okay.
Neil: *tries to fight everyone and everything*
Andrew: ...................
Andrew: I've made a huge mistake.
andrew minyard: “andrew had made it very clear the first time he kissed neil how important an actual ‘yes’ was. this casual surrender wasn’t genuine consent.” joseph kavinsky: “consent is overrated.” yall: wow! theyre basically the same person omg !!!!!!
blue sargent: if i kiss my true love he'll die
noah czerny: well...if you ever want a kiss i noahguy™
concept: a chapter in trk where gansey gets his wisdom teeth removed and the gang is with him while the anesthesia wears off gansey, through the gauze in his mouth: “adam… adam you’re so beautiful. you’re like a starfish.” with emotion: “adam i told the doctor that if you ever needed an organ it had to be mine… it has to be mine….”
“RONAN….” “don’t.” “RONAN….” “come on.” “RONAN….” “[sighs] gansey.” gansey smiles serenely and dozes off for 5 whole seconds. “i wish blue were here.” “gansey, i’m sitting next to you.” “ronan, call her.” “i’m here. you’re holding my hand.” “ronan is she picking up????” gansey punches random numbers on his phone. “is this the organ bank??? i’m an organ donor but i want them to go to adam parrish specifically. if adam doesn’t want them give them to noah because he has no organs.” “[dryly] thanks, gansey.” (adam and noah, in unison)
the raven cycle female characters: three psychic women with very different personalities who live together and raise a kid together, a 600-year-old witch, a tall girl who wears bell bottoms and orange nail polish and flirts with her customers over a psychic phone line, a morally ambiguous woman who earns the disapproval of her family by dabbling around in the darker parts of magic and doing it for fame not morality, a rich socialite with a helicopter license who’s described as beautiful but unattainable
the raven cycle fandom: CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW MISUNDERSTOOD DECLAN LYNCH IS
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
people who know gansey is going to die: me, you, gansey, adam, blue, the women of 300 fox way, millions of readers
people who don’t know gansey is going to die: ronan
something wicked this way comes. modern witches: instagram.
Gansey: *worries that adam will find out he and blue go out just the two of them to look at the stars and not kiss*
Adam: *worries gansey will find out he and ronan go out just the two of them to plan a fucking fake murder*
The foxhole court coffeeshop AU where the entire team works at the same shop.
Dan and Matt are constantly making out in the break room.
Kevin takes coffee way too seriously and lectures customers who dont acknowledge the difference between different roasts.
Nicky is boisterous and somehow always gets control of the stereo.
Wymack is the owner/manager.
Abby is the accountant.
Betsy owns the cafe next door.
Allison specializes in frou frou drinks. Seth doesnt work there but he visits her but wont drink her girly coffees.
Neil just needs a job. Andrew is weirdly protective of him and wont let anyone ask about his shady past.
Renee is Renee.
Aaron is openly hostile to customers and for some reason girls love it???
Bonus: Everytime Kevins abusive ex Riko walks in Nicky plays we are never ever getting back together by tswift and riko gets so furious he knocks over the display of seasonal coffees.
