watching mstief’s writing the raven cycle webinar and I just want everyone to know that she just explicitly stated that adam was supposed to go full villain in her first draft but changed her mind bc “the worst thing that could happen is they stop being friends”
anyone else constantly thinking about that part in greywaren where adam talks about how he killed the other versions of himself to be this new version and how he stored his truth in ronan and lost sight of his real self and how he missed knowing where he was going, or is that just me?
trk trailer ending with andrew looking over his shoulder into the camera because no one's watching his back while he watches everyone else's.
Andrew: no girlfriends
Aaron: okay
Andrew, gay:
becoming the eyes and hands of a sentient forest your boyfriend created is peak boyfriendism, soulmate behavior, couple goals. maybe that's just me tho
blue sargent 🌀
maggie stiefvater invented soulmatism when she wrote blue and adam being the only ones permitted by their respective lovers to drive said lovers’ Very Special Cars.
Sometimes I think about them and it makes me want to claw my heart out.
Who's handling who in this relationship anyway??

Okay my running list: WHO IS THE TWINYARDS BIRTH FATHER????
1. Some asshole
2. Some normal dude with horrendous taste in women
3. Dean Winchester pretending to be FBI agent Bowie Minyard
4. FBI agent Towns and/ or Browning undercover as normal man Minyard
5. THE POSSIBILITY THAT DAVID WYMACK IS YOUR FATHER IS LOW BUT NEVER ZERO
6. Just some guy but Tilda killed him and buried him under the porch and it was the guilt of the crime that gave her such a complex
7. Stephanie Walker pre-transition and shes trying real hard to convince Renee to invite them over so she can explain but she lives in NORTH DAKOTA and Renee who has no idea why her mother wants to hang around her bestie and one of her least favorite teammates keeps avoiding the conversation despite the fact that if her and andrew knew they were siblings they would high five so hard
8. Romero Malcom under an alias
9. A Mamma Mia situation with three very different men who she met at a concert venue called Minyard on three separate nights
10. Batman
One of my favorite things about Neil was when he was questioning his sexuality. He looked at Nicky and Matt to see if his feelings towards them had changed to try and deduce if he was gay tm. Of course, he came to the conclusion that he’s pretty exclusively attracted to Andrew, but did he ever even think to look at the identical twin of the man he had just kissed? No, why would he do that. Like hmm, I enjoyed kissing this person, does someone who looks the same give me the same feelings? Never even crossed his mind. Of course he isn’t attracted to Aaron. That’s disgusting. This petty ass man will always have my heart.
priorities
Rereading tsh is so weird cause there’s a whole dialogue with Henry where he goes “uhm so yeah we used drugs and poison to get absolutely fucking smashed and see god.”
“But…you had sex?!?”
“ronan’s second secret was adam parrish.”
hey has anyone pointed out the fact that neil’s mother was named mary (as in jesus’ mother) and his bf’s middle name is joseph (as in jesus’ earthly father)?? that’s gotta mean something but idk what. best i can come up with is nora feeling silly about neil’s daddy issues
EDIT: i cracked it. as neil’s biological mother, mary feels a responsibility for him based on their shared lineage and half of him being her. in contrast, andrew—like joseph—chooses to care for neil without an underlying sense of familial obligation

Okay, I might be pulling this out of my ass but since that finals match was in Evermore that means the foxes should have been wearing their white away jerseys. Which means: the final match was a game of chess.
Not only are they wearing white, but they have first serve (Dan won the coin toss), and near the end the Foxes' king (Neil, because this is a battle between Riko and Neil) changes positions with the tower (Matt, a defenseman that towers over most people) creating the illusion of a castling.
And right there at the end, Riko attempts to kill Neil because they're in front of each other, but that's not how kings work. In the time it takes him to take that step, Andrew closes the gap and strikes. Check mate.
ronan: his second secret was adam parrish
adam: so, i’ve known for months
Neil Josten lets Andrew's his cigarettes burn to the filter without taking a drag. He hates vegetables. He knows all the places you can shoot a man without killing him. He doodles fox paws on his homework. He's not scared of knives or violence or the yakuza. He is scared of cellphones and therapists and his own reflection. His favourite colour is gray. He got told he couldn't play exy with a bloody nose so he sniffed back the blood until they let him. He doesn't like movies or loud music. He hitchhiked halfway across South Carolina by pretending to be a sociology student. He gets sad when Kevin watches exy without him. He wishes he had his mother's patience instead of his father's temper. He's brilliant at manipulation. He's stupid on purpose. He was every inch a lie but his friends made him into someone real. He doesn't wear a jacket to the roof when it's cold because he knows Andrew's body heat will keep him warm. He thinks the hardest thing he's ever had to do was opening a tub of ice cream after kissing his boyfriend and not like, all the torture he's been through. Nobody is doing it like him
from andrew, to renee (re: neil)
Kaz: Prepare yourself Ketterdam, i am no longer a barrel rat, i´ve got merche blood running in my veins
Wylan lying on the hospital bed: IS THAT your way to thank me for giving you a kidney?!...and i don't think it works that way
Hey so it's actually batshit crazy that the upperclassmen (other than Renee probably) still think that Andrew is the crazy/fucked up one in the relationship when this was Neil's internal monologue.
Like he's really sat in the back of a COP CAR, covered head to toe in bandages due to the FRESH TORTURE WOUNDS he's currently sporting, and he's just destressing by daydreaming about his father's death THAT HE WITNISSED AND WAS FUCKING LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY ABOUT AFTERWARDS.
nicky and aaron: you don't want to see andrew off his meds, he's..... scary..
andrew off his meds:
headcanon that neil and andrew don't necessarily hide their relationship in public but also absolutely refuse to acknowledge it. neil asked about his relationship with andrew "yeah i hate that guy", andrew asked if he and neil are actually together "i don't know who neil josten is" and then someone will spot them kissing in the car and they'd both be like "this is not our car"
i can’t believe some of y’all read this line and decided to be normal about it
i love going about my day and acting like I don’t think about it every waking moment
Remember I have only watched the show so
