THE father and son duo
sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynchβa man that can create realityβa man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?

full disclosure i hope jean does his time on his pro team so he can pay off the moriyamas and when he retires i hope he never goes near exy again. i hope he doesn't become a coach or a manager or anything i hope he leaves it entirely i hope he never goes to the olympics i hope he lives somewhere in california and maybe he becomes a florist or something but i hope he does something that's his for once. i hope he gets a chance to live a different part of his life that isn't tied to anything or anyone else i hope he gets to grow old and smile so much he gets laugh lines and i hope jean dies with the knowledge that while he gave his all to exy as a teenager, as an adult, it did not take his life from him it did not take away his world. he did not endure he survived. i hope he lives something that isn't exy that isn't blood and pain and loss. i hope jean moreau gets to live.

im so much more interested in a hoo that lets Percy keep the status and power he'd left off with in the Last Olympian and explores how he grapples with that instead of immediately forcing him back into the role of the underdog at the expanse of his prior development. Let the fact that he alone has the title the "Savior of Olympus" mean something. Let the fact that he is the sole survivor of the great prophecy mean something. Let the Curse of Achilles mean something. Let us see how it's a curse and how it could warp his sense of self. Let Percy be on a completely different playing field than the rest of the seven (or even the other children of the big three at this point) and show us how it alienates him.
"Well I've only known ONE man in my life who was a true man of honor. He was a surgeon who would help anyone, even those who hated him. Especially those who hated him."

"I will protect even those I hate," Kaladin whispered thorough bloody lips. "So long as it is right."

fandom talks a lot about kevin being a cult survivor and that shaping his personality & world view but a lot of the time the fact that he was also an abuse survivor on a personal level out of the conversation like even before riko broke his hand, he was very much abusing kevin, maybe not as blatantly and visibly as he was abusing jean, but it was still happening. that kind of persistent emotional and verbal abuse is so so damaging, and it can be even more insidious when it's coming from a "loved one." remember that at one point, kevin and riko considered each other family. they were children together, they loved each other. kevin loved and trusted riko as a brother, so when the abuse began mounting and mounting, it wasn't just coming from a teammate or coach, it was coming from someone he loves
i think sometimes people judge him way too harshly for his fear and coping mechanisms and attitude, but like. you can't ask someone who has suffered like that to be well-adjusted
