Nora releasing The Golden Raven on Kevin’s birthday… Neil’s book being The Raven King (reference to Riko)….
We are never escaping the Sons of Exy I see.
#thinking about The Golden Raven title but it’s a reference to Kevin#IM SICK#Jean’s bitterness to the pedestal Kevin is on#by himself the media and the ravens?!#the way the ravens glamourised a certain lifestyle and devotion and demanded perfection (gold standard)#and it being the main problem/point of the book😶#I know golden Raven is also good (the phoenix imagery and the sunshine court etc)#but the idea of being sarcastic… either towards Jean or Kevin#gold in alchemy#represents the sun but also#perfection#alchemist wanting to turn lead to gold#the sacrifice/ manipulation to be ‘perfect’#I can just see Jean and Kevin fighting about the nest#about the hierarchy. about the sacrifices. especially because Kevin left#Jean feeling betrayed. Kevin got to escape because he’s ’Kevin’ and potential angst#anyway I’m yapping and this is all reaching too deep and probably missing a mark but#dual meaning of gold (positive and negative) to represent Jean transforming the horrible experience and ideas of the ravens#a metallic gold (negative nest connotations) into a more glowing positive (Trojan/sun influence)#ignore this if you see this 😭😭 it’s late
