ronan and adam should’ve had a real conversation in greywaren they should’ve both been awake and should’ve argued the way they did back in the days because emotions are running High so naturally there is a reverting back to their younger selves and they should've started to calm down a little after said arguing and have an actual good thorough conversation afterwards in which ronan actualy apologizes to adam because let’s be real there was one needed and they make it clear what they want for the future and how they want it to pan out and how things are gonna work out and about what home means to each of them and about how each of them were keeping secrets from each other and how to avoid hurting each other in the future by not talking to each other and to stop keeping those heavy secrets to themselves with the thought that it’s only going to bother the other and “they were wanted they were wanted they were wanted” is actually brought across by them communicating this to each other in Real Actual Words and after this very good very lengthy very needed conversation they can hug as their actual real life corporeal bodies with their ribs still fitting together just as they had before and with adam’s hand still pressed against the back of ronan’s skull the way it always did

#MAGGIE U ARE NOTHING#sorry that's not true. but she should've made them have an actual Conversation instead of the copout that was that greywaren chapter#no matter how dear it is to my heart and how many emotions it brings up and how romantic it is. she could've done the conversation and then#the soul merging like do both y'know. love wins.#also she should've never made adam a c*p. and she should've never made declan forgive niall Completely and Entirely and made declan#view him as Flawless all of a sudden and she should've never made the epilogue Like That and should've never have it so that the new fenian#and mór live at the barns and should have made it so that hennessy was the one saving the world because ronan would've chosen to save adam#(BECAUSE. the choice was death or hurting adam. which wasn't much of a choice at all!) wherein - again - ronan saves adam because duh and#hennessy goes on to save the world instead. also should've never done the whole thing with nathan that was FOUL of her why is it BOMBS#of all fucking things and also should've given carmen and hennessy more development and also should've never done the moderators plot#(though in all fairness That in particular was the publishing company i'll give her that) and also should've given matthew more.#more of what you ask. well just very simply More. like what we were given was so little and so like. lackluster? also should've given decla#and matthew a conversation after he was gone for so long should've seen an actual reunion with the two of them and ronan as well should've#seen that declan & ronan actual (awake) reunion we never got to see either should've gotten an adam and matthew reunion as well because the#are brothers too!! also should've never done that whole thing with declan completely taking away matthew's autonomy and letting him sleep#for days just because he didn't want to deal with him bc like that was so fucked up actually and also should've never done carmen dirty the#way she was done dirt and also --------#trc#dreamer trilogy#sorryyyy the more i sit on greywaren the more dissatisfied i become.....why not let them have an actual conversation it would've been much#more meaningful and would've made much more sense because ronan and adam have always had their communication problems and r both#stubborn assholes who are mostly private and who should've had that moment because it would be a nice tie-in and conclusion and just#would've been so much more meaningful to see them grow like that and actually communicate for real.#i actually LOVED some of gw (numquam solus....LIKE.) but overall it just felt so off idk. who was it that said every gw chapter individually#was good but all together it just wasn't All That because yeah.#also i am. feverish so idk if any of this even makes sense at all 🤨 double also if you read this u should picture me pacing around my room#talking 2 myself because that is me rn...in spirit because i can't get out of bed 👍

something i’ve been thinking about a lot lately is the way that language in the dreamer trilogy & the raven cycle is a barrier to forming connection/community.
in the raven cycle we see a distinct lack of specific terms used between ronan and kavinsky. the word “dreamer” is not even used directly — instead the two of them talk conceptually about the dreaming process, about their respective “special places” (ronan’s being cabeswater), and how the dreaming “juice” runs out (but again, the terms “ley line” or “energy” are not used). there is a clear recognition of “sameness” or shared experiences between the boys, with kavinsky specifically saying he “knows what ronan is” (tho whether he’s referring to dreaming or ronan’s sexuality is up for debate i suppose).
this is really the first time ronan is connecting with a dreamer outside of his family. and his family, of course, has their own terms and language for dreaming. there is a barrier in the discussions ronan and kavinsky are having because of a lack of shared language. so much of what they experience as dreamers is isolated in the individual, so they are forced to talk around concepts because they don’t have universal terminology to fall back on.
i’ve talked extensively about how dreaming is a representation of chronic illness in the dreamer trilogy so i won’t go too far down that rabbit hole. But. something that is talked about within the disability/chronic illness community (and beyond) is the way that individuals can struggle to connect with people that have the same condition/similar experiences as them because of a lack of shared terminology to discuss abstract or hyper-specific concepts/feelings.
we see this in the raven cycle with kavinsky and ronan, and then we start to see it even more in the dreamer trilogy as ronan continues to find belonging and community with other dreamers. ronan and hennessy’s friendship requires them to bridge the language gap. though they both live as dreamers, because of their different experiences throughout their lives, they use different terminology to make meaning of their situation.
in knowing to one another, ronan and hennessy are exposing each other to new, shareable language. ronan shares his term for “nightwash,” and hennessy shares her term for “the lace.” both of them adapt to using this new language for a shared conceptual experience and in doing so are able to connect more fully with one another. in the raven king, i believe it is quite possible that ronan and adam had encountered the lace — a dark entity that whispered their worst fears to them — but did not have the term yet to describe it. obviously, terminology does not outweigh experience, but it is an important element of forming community through shared experience.
there’s also the way that the moderators use the term “zed” instead of “dreamer” — at first it is unclear what zeds even are because as the reader we have only ever had the language provided by ronan. in this experience of coming to realize that “zeds” are equivalent to “dreamers,” we as the reader experience the same sort of dissonance that dreamers themselves experience when trying to connect with one another without universal/shared language.
for ronan specifically, in both trc and tdt, there’s always an element of translation. in the dreaming world, his dreams speak in either latin or a dream language that doesn’t exist in the waking world. in his dreams ronan understands the dream language, but outside of them he can’t. ronan working so hard to learn latin is intentional — by understanding it in and outside of his dreams, he can bridge a language gap for himself; can understand his waking world AND his dreaming world at once. he studies it like his life depends on it because. it. does. the puzzle box is also helpful to ronan because it makes something that is unreal in the waking world, real — it is confirmation of the validity of that language. whether you’re thinking of dreaming as a metaphor for chronic illness, mental illness, or some other identity, the point is about the feeling of otherness, of inability. ronan only feels strange & lost & like he doesn’t know what the hell he is outside of his dreams where no one else understands his language. where he is confronted by being unable to speak to what he lives in his head.
in conclusion:
ronan lynch i love you.

I'm reading The Dreamer Trilogy, and I have many thoughts, but the most pressing one right now is that I can't handle Matthew Lynch being sad and that precious baby better be happy again by the end.
....
...
..
.
And there isn't nearly enough Adam Parrish and Ronan Lynch teaming up as the magical duo (now boyfriends) that they are. Hopefully that changes...
I do like the eldest Lynch bro getting more scenes.
Never recovering from the fact that the original gang from TRC isn't together, though. They were absolutely perfect.

what you do have to understand about the dreamer trilogy is that gansey did actually die at the end of the raven cycle. adam and ronan's behavior in call down the hawk makes more sense if gansey is dead. furthermore, adam and ronan actually broke up in the dreamer trilogy. i haven't decided if nathan and therefore carmen are real yet. hennessy did save ronan from the sweetmetal sea with the tattoo still. hennessy did still figure out the lace. jordeclan is the realest thing in tdt. matthew did not walk back home at the end he survived on his charisma for like years somehow before declan became aware of him again and he felt really shocked and guilty and had to be the one to reach out to repair the relationship. ronan continued to struggle with depression forever. the lace as a concept and its relation to ronan as a concept was explored more. ronan actually on page had a moment more fleshed out than "there was no dissonance" to resolve the tension around being of two worlds in greywaren. he eventually met and fell in love with the lightning rod guy who walked barefoot on the lines that gansey couldn't get to get on an airplane or otherwise travel to virginia. adam realized she's trans and stopped cosplaying gansey and dropped out of harvard (not necessarily in that order) and got tips from fox way on other psychics in other places to visit and she found a home somewhere in this way. i know it might not be how you remember it but it's what happened.

collection of things that happen or are mentioned in the raven cycle + dreamer trilogy that i think about a lot:
Matthew never had a physical (and presumably never went to the doctor) because Declan wasn't certain he even had any internal organs
Henry's mom bought him a magic robot bee and his dad then made a career out of manufacturing reverse engeered mundane versions of the magic robot bee
Gansey and Ronan lived in the same house as a ghost for like a year without realizing that their roommate never eats and doesnt sleep. They also didnt know his last name despite everyone else in the friend group primarily calling each other by their last names
villain escalation in the original series is latin teacher -> hitman -> latin teacher (again) -> hornet demon (and also the second latin teacher's wife)
Henry became part of the main crew by revealing his traumatic backstory to Gansey while they both stood in a hole in the ground. this works.
As soon as Adam leaves Henrietta he immediately forms a new friend group of people he found crying and lies to them about his background.
Adam also does tarot card readings in his dorm room and this is apparently REALLY popular among harvard students
blue has the funniest dad situation ever. her mom is dating the hitman who killed her friends dad and her biological father was an advisor to a welsh king in the 1300s and is also. uh. you know what im not even going to say it here. go read the raven cycle and see for yourself
Adam recovers from a demonic posession by sheer force of will. like he gets posessed because a demon is eating the magic forest he bound himself too and he stops being possessed when he realizes that an evil hornet demon and a mystical sentient forest are NOT, in fact, the same thing. and then hes just not posessed anymore
In order to forge evidence of Greenmantle doing fucked up shit to kids in order to blackmail him Ronan apparently had to actually dream about the scenarios itself in order to take photos with a dream camera because when he tried to just manifest the evidence itself as is it was just blank
None of the three Lynch siblings are full siblings. Ronan's mom is a dream copy of Declan's mom. Matthew has no biological parents. Their dad and the dream-copy is dead, but Declan's mom is still alive and living with a dream copy of their dad.
Hennessy apparently hasnt been able to sleep more than 20 minutes at a time for like. 12 years
those psychics werent lying blue really did kill her true love by kissing him.
noah......... just. fuck man. noah

treat 👀
hiiiiii thanks so much for the ask! here's your treat, a lil post-gw headcanon 🧁
so i think ronan and hennessy have like a second to breathe after the almost apocalypse and then people are immediately begging them for help with other dreamer-related things. like they hit the road pretty quickly after the dust settles.
which means adam is still in college. adam is hella jealous that ronan and hennessy are off adventuring and he is stuck in school (because he somehow realizes he hates academia in the dreamer trilogy so i'm not gonna question him). anyway he's jelly. but turns out they need those big brains because ronan still storms into every situation with no plan or thought and so they get caught up in some weird situations. like adam's studying in his (singleeeee) dorm room and he's sleep deprived cause exams, etc. and he answers the phone:
adam: what 😐 *hennessy in the background screaming at ronan* ronan: heyyyyy 😅 how's studying going? hitting those books? hennessy: ARE U FUCKIN SRS M8????? adam: what'd you do now? ronan: um.... we need your help 🙃
anyway this continues to be the dynamic even when adam graduates college and they hit the road, sometimes in different places, sometimes meeting in the middle because adam once again has to clean up ronan's messes. (but he loves to do it and he loves to be included!!!!! it's what keeps him sane thru transferring colleges 3 times and finally making it to graduation yaknow)

"The INFP Archetypes"
What makes INFPs different from each other? Well there are many factors. Obviously not all INFPs are the same, and other parts of typology like enneagram, ivs, and socionics do affect this. Some INFPs are also more in tune with their weaker functions (Si and Te) than others. Like the other types, INFPs also have different "archetypes" that are often seen as "general representations" of them. Obviously because mbti is so nuanced and complex, don't fret if you don't identify with any of these! They're very simplified, so not relating doesn’t mean you're not an INFP!
So now let's get into some of the most notable archetypes
1. The Dreamer
Tumblr media
The most notable INFP archetype, one could call it "the INFP poster child." The dreamer is a pure, innocent, curious, sensitive, and idealistic INFP. The dreamer looks at the world with wide, starry-eyes, and wears their heart on their sleeve. Usually the dreamer is also very romantic poetic, and/or artistic, and they have a wild imagination. The dreamer sees the good in everyone and might often merge with/be present in tropes like the manic pixie dream girl, or the soft boy. They have a tendency to be portrayed as mysterious or misunderstood.
Examples of the dreamer: Belle (Beauty & the Beast), Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Amelie, Juliet (Romeo & Juliet), Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables), and Celine (Before Trilogy)
2. The Mediator
Tumblr media
The mediator shares the same traits as the dreamer (pure, sensitive, kind-hearted, etc.) but plays a different role in the story. Typically the dreamers are protagonists, while mediators usually have secondary roles. The mediator often acts as a voice of reason, to keep the protagonist in touch with their humanity or to just listen whenever someone needs to let it all out. The mediator is typically very quirky and non-conformist. The mediator is empathetic and usually soften-spoken, but they're not afraid to stand up for others or what they believe in.
Examples of the mediator: Silvermist (Tinkerbell), Mantis (MCU), Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter), Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon), and Lucy Pevensie (Narnia)
3. The Seeker
Tumblr media
The seeker, once again, shares the same traits as the other two but has an emphasis on curiosity and imagination. The seeker is not afraid to ponder life's deeper, more complex questions.
As said by @dragonflymage, the seeker often asks themselves questions like
Why do I exist?
Who am I really inside?
How do I fit?
Where do I belong?
They also go on to add this explanation: "A seeker, continuously looking for answers that we never may find, but that we must keep searching for anyway. "
(If you wanna read more from her post I've reblogged it on my page) While they search for these answers, the seeker oftentimes will go on a "hero's journey" in hopes of finding the answer along their quest
Examples of the seeker: Merlin (BBC), Newt Scamander (Fantastic Beasts/HP), Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Edward Scissorhands, and Frodo (LOTR)
4. The Emotional Villain
Tumblr media
As you can see this one is a complete 180 compared to the other three lol. This pattern doesn't exactly have a name, so I just made one up.
Pretty much all INFP villains I've seen are driven by their emotions. Afterall, Fi is our dominant function. The emotional villain is driven by personal reasons and experiences, they're not just evil for the sake of being evil. Typically the emotional villain is very moody, disturbed, and/or unstable. They are usually the direct opposite of their other INFP counterparts: they are selfish, ruthless, and blood-hungry.
Examples of the emotional villain: Wanda Maximoff (MCU), Joker (2019 ver), and Kylo Ren (Star Wars).
5. The Angsty Teen
Tumblr media
Another really common portrayal of INFPs in media is the angsty teen. This archetype is pretty self explanatory, an angsty hormonal teenager. The angsty teen often struggles with social anxiety, and/other another mental illness. They also might have trust issues, be really moody, or hurting from unrequited love or some other trauma. The angsty teen often copes through artistic means, like poetry or painting.
I feel the feelings on this archetype are very divided. While a lot of people don't like having that image as a representation of their type, some argue that it's a realistic portrayal of the darker side of being an INFP. I personally feel like the angsty teen represents my inner conflicts, while the dreamer, mediator, and seeker represent my outward behavior most of the time. What are your thoughts?
Examples of the angsty teen: Shinji Ikari (Evangelion), Will Byers (Stranger Things), Cassie Ainsworth (Skins), Kou Mabuchi (Blue Spring Ride), Violet Parr (The Incredibles), Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson), Charlie Kelmeckis (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Elio Perlman (Call Me By Your Name), Todd Anderson (Dead Poets Society), Fischl (Genshin Impact), Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice) and Cry Baby (K-12)
There's plenty more archetypes but I thought I'd just focus on these 5. Also remember that these archetypes don't represent all INFPs as a whole, they’re just like "INFPs in a nutshell."
What are your thoughts? Which archetypes do you relate to? Which one's your favorite? Which one's your least favorite?

thinking about the raven king again and. I think MS isn’t that good at writing finales.
don’t get me wrong, I love TRK in a lot of ways, but it is the weakest book in the raven cycle (not to mention Greywaren being what it is)
Both Greywaren and TRK are weak in that they’re far shorter than they need to be—leaving many questions left unanswered and many plot points rushed.
When I finished TRK, I had many questions (some of which were answered in the dreamer trilogy, but I believe TRC should be able to stand alone). Can Blue and Gansey kiss again? Did Ronan ever get in touch with Declan and Matthew after he almost died? Do they remember Noah at all? Does Mr. Gray get to return to Henrietta? What about the Camero wheel they found in the lake? How is Gansey really doing post-death? etc. etc.
Not to mention the rushed plot points like Blue finding out her heritage suddenly, and that not really getting to go anywhere.
All of these problems are turned to the highest notch in Greywaren but quite frankly I don’t have the energy to talk about that book.

Tumblr media
Do you write fic for The Raven Cycle and The Dreamer Trilogy (or do you want to)? Does the epilogue of Greywaren leave you yearning for more about what Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish do in their post-canon life together?
Then this is just the thing for you!
50 States, 50* Pynch Fics is a fandom event seeking exactly what it sounds like: fifty-one Pynch fics, one set in every state and Washington, DC, following these two assholes around as they go about the United States together, fixing ley lines and doing other magical nonsense in their post-canon lives.
Have you ever wanted to write Pynch running into Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest? How about having a grand old time in Palm Springs?
If you answered yes to the above, or if you have other ideas about Pynch interacting with cryptids, this is the place for you!
Sign up here!
FAQ
What fresh hell is this?
This is an attempt at a fandom event. In Greywaren's epilogue, we learn Ronan is wandering around working on ley lines and Adam works for "an organization with a dot gov email," and that they often work together across the United States. I thought it'd be fun to follow them on that post-canon journey and write a fic set in each of the 50 states (plus DC).
Is there a deadline?
Nope! I want this to be as low-key and low-stress as possible for everyone involved and there's no hard deadline for posting fics. Life happens. Stuff gets in the way of writing. All I ask is that if you claim a state, you make your best effort to post the fic for it, and if it ends up you're not in a place to write it, just contact me.
Is there a word count requirement?
Again, nope! Write a microfic, write a drabble, write 100k. Write however much or as little as you want.
What can I write?
Literally anything. Fluff, smut, hurt/comfort, whatever you feel like. Go crazy. And if you feel like an AU, I'm not gonna stop you. You don't even need to know anything about a state. Pop them in a hotel room and say it's in Montana for all I care. What if you can't contain yourself and want to write fics for the entire West coast? Go ahead and write fics for Washington, Oregon, and California. I won't stop you. And if one fic for Maine doesn't satisfy you, write more! Multiple fics per state are welcome.
How do I sign up?
There's a prompt challenge here on AO3 with all 50 states and Washington, DC. If you want to write a fic for a state, hit the "Claim" button for that state. Please note, I have never created a prompt challenge before and I'm still trying to figure out how this thing works. If you run into issues, just contact me. We'll figure this thing out together!
Ultimately, I just want everyone to have fun. That's what fandom is all about. So let's write and read some great fics!
- @kelliealtogether, who doesn't know what the hell she's getting herself into so please be patient 🥰
*Though Ronan would be pleased if I went "Fuck Washington" too, we can't leave out DC. 😌

I started reading trc about a month ago because of things you’ve posted and the recommendation of a friend, and I love it So Much but I’ve had to resist going through your tag this entire time to avoid spoilers. I was not always successful lol. But I finished trk today and I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to Finally look through it, and also read your fics! I’ll have to do it all over again for the dreamer trilogy, which will probably be much harder because everything you’ve said about Hennessy has captivated me, but I’m already looking forward to it lol
delighted to hear this!! have fun, there's like 5 years of shitposts in that tag dkdndn

Based on your female lead traits post, I have a couple book recs: Dreamer's Pool and the Harp of Kings by Juliet Marillier. They're both the first in trilogies, tHoK series is kind of a follow up, since it's about the main character's of DP children, but they work as standalones. They're historic fantasy set in Ireland, and while nothing stands out too much as far as genre subversion and whatnot goes, I think they're quite good, and again have good female leads
Do you have any books you like because of the leading lady?
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll check the books.
Hmm, I don't think I have such a book? Emily Wilde surprised me with how her personality was described (she wasn't very good with people but she was great at what she was doing) and I liked it. But maybe Jane Eyre? I think I liked that book because of the heroine.
