The Raven Cycle - Blog Posts
Everyone always talks abt the Pynch wedding but I lowkey feel like they wouldn’t have one. In fact, I feel like they would just sign the papers and not tell anyone until one day Gansey, Blue, and Henry come to visit the barns and one of them notices the ring and is like “wait wtf you’re engaged?” and Ronan just gives them a weird look and replies “we’re married” and then all hell breaks loose.
Burning oceans, hand kinks, whatever whatever LOOK AT HOW RONAN DREAMS OF ADAM HE LITERALLY WORSHIPS HIM
I love Henry Cheng because where tf did he come from??? Like there was absolutely zero mention of him in the first two books and suddenly he appears out of thin air with enough charisma to feed a small family and a robotic bee. Oh and also his mom is a crime boss?? So there’s that
Obviously it’s a general rule in fiction that a character cannot be who you first believe they are, but trc just takes it to a whole other level. By the end of The Raven King, every single character is so drastically different from how they were in The Raven Boys, partially because of their own development, but also because of how the perspectives are divvied out between books so neatly that you get basically an entire character study in each one alongside the overall plot. Everytime I reread it I’m so off-put by the first book because of how differently they used to act and think, even if it the timeline is only a few months. Maggie Stiefvater please never die
My favorite plot twist in trc was Ronan being an absolute fucking loser. Like wdym the stoic spontaneous bad boy listens to EDM and wants to be a farmer??? And people are SCARED of him??? Please.
Adam was constantly saying “I’m employed what does this mean” whenever Gansey and Ronan did some crazy shit while he was at work
Funniest part of The Raven King was for sure when it was revealed that Cheng2 was not in fact Henry’s brother but actually just some random kid who was also named Henry
When Henry, Blue, and Gansey are traveling and have to stay in hotels they only reserve one bed just saying just saying
oh nothing just Helen supporting Gansey’s weird interests and Helen technically being the first person that Gansey tells about him liking Blue and Helen and Gansey hugging despite the Ganseys not being huggers and how even though Gansey was able to find his own family outside of home Helen will always be his big sister shut up don’t talk to me
I desperately want Blue Sargent's place in The Raven Cycle
am i the only one who imagined kavinsky to look just like iceman from top gun?? just looked at fanart after finishing tdt and apparently his hair isn't blond??
just finished the raven boys and gosh that was good. lost count of how many times my heart broke for the characters, especially adam. need the next book asap
dear algorithm, no spoilers please
this vaguely describes my thought process reading the raven king
i am such a fan of henry i cannot even put it into words
blue and gansey
“Is that all?" she whispered.
Gansey closed his eyes. "That's all there is.”
HAPPY ST MARKS EVE
that meme that’s like me my gf and her €500 plushie but it’s blue gansey and his boyfriend adam
Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because you remembered Ronan Lynch canonically plays tennis

Noah’s death is a tragedy specifically because that 2000s emo boy is forced to spend his afterlife in his fucking school uniform and not his emo drip. devastating.

I love the raven cycle because it’s a heart wrenching exploration of love and loss and bonds beyond friendship and then the average Ronan subplot is him doing copious amounts of drugs in a car belonging to a boy who he’s got a criminally insane homoerotic rivalry with
