Forever sad there wasn't anyone named Andrew in The Raven Cycle.

It is a loss, that these book is not apart of the What the fuck Andrew book genre

knee deep in the passenger seat (of the car my stepfather bought you so you would break up with me)

we as a fandom moved on from "How appropriate, how in character, that a pretty face fucked him over once again" FAR too quickly

Neil's song is Life for Rent by DIDO convince me otherwise

sometimes i'm doing fine. and sometimes i remember the fact that jean wished kevin would die in the nest so he could finally break his promise to live and kill himself.

We ain′t angry at you, love

You're the greatest thing we've lost

The birds will still sing, your folks will still fight

The boards will still creak, the leaves will still die

We ain′t angry at you, love

We′ll be waitin' for you, love

And we′ll all be here forever

We′re overdue for a revival

We spent so long just gettin' by

That′s the thing about survival

who the hell likes livin' just to die?

But it's Kevin to Neil when his father took him.

"what's your favorite horror movie?"

I don't know, probably when Jean said he wanted Kevin to die because his promise to him was the only thing keeping him alive, so if Kevin had died, Jean could have died too, and he could've finally been free of the horrors of the Nest

Brown like the soil in Rhemann's garden, or the sand where the tide washed ashore, or the dirt roads Cat had led him down time and again. Brown like the gaze that sought Jean out in every room, but that last thought wasn't one he could linger on.

Shoutout to Jean dropping “stupid, beautiful Kevin” on us because he ate with that. That’s exactly what Kevin is, both stupid and beautiful. Amazing, descriptive, heartbreaking, straight to the point. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Stupid, beautiful Kevin indeed

In another universe Jeremy picked up Andrew in a bar with a lighter.

some kevin/riko quotes from the EC that stood out to me:

- “They loved each other until they died, and they hated each other from the moment they met.”

- “He clung to Riko the way a weaker power clings to a stronger, needing some sort of support and stability to rebuild his broken life around, and although he feared Riko’s cruelty he didn’t understand at the time how wrong and unfair it was. It was just life, as he knew it, as he’d know it for the next many years.”

- “To say Riko & Kevin were friends seems a lie, but to say they weren’t is a worse one.”

- “Riko & Kevin were the end-all be-all of each other’s existence. It was what saved Kevin from the majority of Riko’s cruelty”

- “They needed each other, because the only thing in the world they wanted was to be the best and the only way to be the best was by plunging into life side-by-side. They were obsessed with each other’s potential because they knew what they could be together.”

- “Riko saw Kevin as a footstool, and Kevin saw Riko as a collar.”

- “Riko and Kevin got [what they wanted], whether it was private lessons or access to notes and old games ((or Lydia Shetfield, when Riko decided he and Kevin ought to lose their virginity like all the other Ravens had)).”

- “Kevin could survive two monsters only if one of them was dormant or otherwise entertained, so he bowed his head and did what he needed to do, and eventually he forgot he’d ever existed outside of Riko’s circle. He stayed close enough that his leash wouldn’t choke him and followed Riko to the top.”

- “But by then Kevin had forgotten how to fight back, so he cowered and hid and licked his wounds in private. This was his place. This was who they were. This was what Riko needed, and Exy needed Riko, and Kevin needed Riko. This was part of the deal.”
