#im in my kavinsky feels

[f4keplastictr33s]

sometimes i think abt this quote and i want to scream it’s so simple and yet it’s so heartbreaking idkkk

[insomnia-productions]

had a series of the most deranged and fucked up dreams last night but someone tell me why one of them was just. replaying joseph kavinsky’s story over and over again and watching him die in novel and equally self-destructive ways every time. girl i woke up crying a little bit tf

hi kya 💜💜💜

palm tree ⇢ do you have a fictional villain you shouldn’t like but love regardless?

i’ve spent so long thinking about this and i feel like i really don’t have a good answer. i read a lot of books where the “villain” is more of an abstract than a single character, which makes it difficult to pick a villain i love. literally the only villain even coming to mind right now is luke castellan, because he makes such a good villain, especially in contrast to percy, but i still don’t know if i would say i love him.

get to know me!

June's Monthly Music (PART DEUX!!)(I KNOW ITS TOO LONG IM SORRY)

Click here for part one (highlights being Kaytranada and Charli's albums)(listen to Cactus Water by Channel Tres who was on Kaytranada's album)

RECENT MUSIC:

Goat Girl's motorway is for the girlies into... the indie girlies. Music to reflect on your life to.

JESSIE WARE!!!!!!! & ROMY's LIFT YOU UP! Feel good dance track. Just vibrant and joyful. What a lovely way to end Pride month.

Normani FINALLY released her album. Not mindblowing (and some of the teaser versions of songs are better) but it's enjoyable to listen to all the way through. Highlights are "All Yours" which feels luxurious, "Take my Time" which is sweet and pleasant, "Insomnia" which has a sprinkling of Daft Punk in some of the vocoding, and a more energetic "Little Secrets" which closes the album out. This is a solid debut which promises greater things down the line. Good sensibilities, just needs a bit more oomph.

Spinning off of that, check out "Endless Night" by Maeta.

Tove Lo & SG Lewis are back at it again with a mini EP! Let Me Go OH OH sounds the way Kylie's Love at First Sight MV looks, if that makes sense. Busy Girl is for Cunts on the Runway. Heat is for dancing at the club. Desire is a club mix track that is generic and yet perfectly calculated--like a chocolate chip cookie made up premium ingredients.

Megan Thee Stallion has an album out and narrowing this down to a handful of tracks is hard, even with singles excluded! Rattle is scathing and yet too cool for the haters. Down Stairs DJ combined with Where Them Girls At has convinced me she needs to collab with Cupcakke*. Worthy is summery and poppy. Spin with Victoria Monet will have you doing body rolls without even realizing, Otaku Hot Girl is a fun sample... I forgive her for insulting Sasuke avis I know where she's coming from lol.

Nayeon's album is kinda hit or miss to me but I love ABCD's bigger than life energy and the dance break in the MV. HalliGalli is just like refreshing fruit punch on a hot day

Despite not feeling the title track, Red Velvet did pull through with some music you can just float around to, Last Drop and Night Drive would be nice to wade into the ocean and stare up at the stars to. Bubble has an almost 80s Jpop veneer to it. And Love Arcade gives the album some energy it very much needed, lol. Not my fave RV project but not the bummer I expected!

She, this blog's namesake, has a new mini album! Spectral Touch and With You are expansions of She's Chiptune sound but maybe with some appeal you might find in Kavinsky's music--not the same sound at all but that sort of "driving at night through neon lights" type vibe.

The Used has a new album out, it's more of the same, but I loved the video game trailer bombasticness of Depression Personified and the return to an older whininess (said with fondness) in Before I Leave. Emos, check it out.

Catharsis by 9mm Parabellum Bullet is more rock music. Japanese and surprisingly melodic, this track is haunting. Maybe Buck-Tick enjoyers should check it out.

If you liked the Tove Lo ep, check out Baddy on the Floor by Jamie xx. Honey Dijon absolutely elevates this track into transcendence.

Amaarae said "Fountain Baby Part 2!!!" this! is a swooning afrobeats track, wanted is a song that crawls to you and up your body and grabs your hips, and sweeeet is such a natural evolution of Fountain Baby. This whole project is worth a listen!

TuNGSTeN is by Hiroyuki Sawano (TECHNICALLY a different project than my other shout out) and it's just evocative and makes me clutch at my chest but also wanna run.

Power of Two by Victoria Monet. Idk why she's doing a Star Wars song but... fuck, she hit it out of the fucking park. It's like of Kendrick/Sza's All the Stars had a dark, more cosmic child.

Lynch. has some more Japanese metalcore for anyone interested. Standouts are the frantic Un Deux Trois and A Fierce Blaze while the track Remains might appeal more to the crowd who wants more of the melodic bits that Catharis had. Buck-Tick fans I'm saying try out Remains. Not as good but you'll see the vibe

Getting no Sleep by Tinashe is a surprising follow up to Nasty but suuch a good follow up to her album BB/Angel and its more cerebral elements.

"Know You Did" by bongjeingan is a korean indie rock song not afraid to get WEIRD with it. This is a song that is everything all at once. Goes surprisingly hard at the end.

Somethin Bout You by The Knocks and Holiday87 ft Betsy feels like a dream of the 80s had by someone who passed out at the club after too much fruity drinks.

"Security" by Raleigh Ritchie (AKA LOUIS FROM IWT!V!) is a a more lowkey track than some on this but the lyrics are relatable and I remain charmed by his blunt writing style--he gets to the heart of the matter and carves at it.

OLDER MUSIC I'VE BEEN INTO:

"Shout" SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. Type of song that worked great for a Trigger adventure anime (but not dunmeshi lol).

Selecta by Chase & Status ft Stefflon Don. Dancehall drum & bass great for playing a first person shooter. Click heads and bop.

9m88 was recced to me and while I haven't explored much, "Love Rain" is crooning and jazzy and a song that exists outside of time.

A throwback older than some of my followers Sonique's Sky is just good eurodance.

*this month was too stacked and i haven't listened her new album but i WILL!!

[newskinfortheoldceremony1974]

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “the raven cycle” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: While im gone dream the world something new for every night

im not wasting my time on that piece of shit. if he wants me to prove it too fucking bad

[shovson]

some ppl in the motorsport zone have made a playlist for their ocs so i thought i'd jump in with mines too. tbh it's a wippy but also i kiiiiiinda don't really like long playlists so it's done to me. anyways. posting it here so i can talk about each song in detail

link to the playlist

brutal - olivia rodrigo

the playlist begins with tragedy as adren's own life takes a tragic turn after the death of his brother. with no more close relatives, adren's emotions are...unstable as he navigates the paddock alone.

faster than you - reaubeau, eke

adren has momentum in his car and he shows why he deserves a spot in the grid

gasoline - halsey

to be honest it was either gasoline or drive. but i think this one fits adren better. adren learns the car. something something something.

beck and call - july talk, tanya tagaq

adren and his teammate begin to move between each other but it feels like there's something wrong with the dynamic. and yet they find each other coming back for the other.

'cause im a man - tame impala

adren takes a hateful look at himself. he's sort of unsure about who he is. and thinks he sucks as he can't figure out what the hell anyone wants from him.

chamber of reflection - mac demarco

yeah we're getting into adren's sad boy era as he tries to figure out whether the emotions his teammate shows him privately are real. he lives with the shame of being unwanted in a public space, though he can't do anything about.

bad habit - steve lacy

adren wants to know how his teammate feels. he realizes that his teammate is nothing but a coward. at this point it's manipulative, with his teammate trying to make him stay. adren hates it. and yet he still yearns for him.

blue racecar - sassy 009

unstable relationships around adren as he can't seem to let go because he just wants someone to put in the same effort back!

cage - wyatt smith

despite everything, adren wants to help, knowing that this was one of his brother's strongest traits and he wants to have it too. he would sacrifice himself for his teammate over and over again, even if it means he destroys himself in the process.

trustful hands - the do

adren is surrounded by people who love him. and he knows that. adren lives in spontaneity. and trusts he'll always get back on his feet even after everything.

alive - pearl jam

after a crazy rookie year, adren makes it to his second year with a different outlook. he's still there. he remains resilient.

this feeling - my!lane

tbh this song is included in a lot of car playlists and i like how upbeat it is. it really suits adren a lot!

so many details - toro y moi

managing a relationship remains difficult for adren. there's so much that overwhelms him. the amount of shame his teammate still goes through internally and the mixed messages....adren isn't surprised he leaves. but they're still so intertwined.

babydoll - ari abdul

adren still wants his man sooooooo bad....

find a way - vallas, philsofie

adren begins to believe that he can do this. he's finding the balance. he's got everything he needs. he just needs to push himself closer to what he truly wants.

cure for me - aurora

the playlist ramps up again. adren knows who he is and he's unashamed. each win is nothing to hide. his own queer identity is not worth hiding. he takes pride in himself.

outsider (donald durand remix) - kavinsky, donald durand

for adren, it's still uncertain. he has to keep moving. and everything's building up. the song is instrumental and meant to depict how much adren wants to be champion. he knows it won't be easy and there's still so much going on. but he needs to just push that car to the finish line.

like a rockstar - chase altlantic

this is adren's celebration song. champagne sprays and confetti. the absolute riots, the mechanic screams, everything. he reflects on the journey.

still feel. - half alive

adren's got the energy to keep going!

take me where your heart is - q

still such a painful romantic, adren wants his partner to be just as emotionally vulnerable. and also adren loves. he's just full of unconditional love.

touch the stars - french 79, sarah rebecca

adren is optimistic. both for himself and others. he sees the goals in sight for more bright events. another championship? a stable relationship? healthy grieving? he's just needs to reach for it.

[peter-pantomime]

3, 7, 8, 19 (and 20 if you’re feeling it!) for the ST ask 🥰

3. Favorite scene in the entire series?

It's a tie between Steve bursting into Jonathan's house and Dustin commandeering Steve into helping with Dart, both moments I love for the same reason. My faaaavorite thing in genre fiction is when something happens that completely bucks the conventions and expectations of the genre, and it really feels to me that Steve bursts through the script he was supposed to a part of at the end of s1 into a completely new story, and that kind of transformative self-authorship just makes me giddy. Likewise, at the beginning of s1, you would never expect Steve and Dustin to be the greatest team-up of the show, and Dustin shouting to Steve to come join him similarly feels like Dustin looking across the margins of the page he's on and going uh, yeah, I'm yoinking this guy into the story. I just LOVE it.

7. Favorite couple? (canon or non-canon)

Steddie, obviously. I loooooove that they're both such classic character archetypes on their own and how interestingly they play with the standards of those archetypes, and then when you put them in conversation with each other, all those character elements just play so WELL off each other. I love that the little we have of them to work with is SO powerful, and while of course I would have enjoyed more canon material to play with, I also deeply love that there isn't a lot of constraint from canon and how much freedom and invention that necessitates in fandom works.

8. Favorite weapon/power?

I mean, it's obviously the nail bat, right? Like is there even another choice? (I'm also biased because I made my own for a cosplay and it turned out SO well lol, so that's definitely a part of it. But also its just SO iconic, of course it's the nail bat).

19. Favorite minor character?

listen i'm about to go info-dump all my wayne headcanons in your inbox so thats the ONLY REASON im not sharing them all here because i LOVE HIM, but for these purposes I'm gonna go with Tommy Hagan. I think he provides such a fun chance to explore obsession, jealousy, possessiveness, power fantasies, and toxicity in just a dirty, delicious way, I'm just fascinated by it. It's a character archetype I think of as the Mrs. Danvers, and I feel like that character's relationship with a main character often provides the most fascinating depth and contrast to other relationships in the MCs life. I put Izzy Hands from OFMD and Kavinsky from the Raven Cycle in this category - they all have that sublimated/gothic/noir/Celluloid Closet queer(coding) flavor to them that's just riveting to chew on.

20. Something that you really want to happen in season 5?

I think the psychic energy/ghosts/souls/whatever of the UD's victims (esp Eddie) should be trapped in a dungeon, and the smoke monster/mind flayer should form into a dragon, please and thank you

ask meme here!

[somewhatclear]

more remix of i won’t be left here behind closed doors by ao3 author elliptical

snippet #3 under the cut, and some ramblings about the worldbuilding

It bothered him. He’d never been afraid of picking a fight. At a normal substance party, it would usually be that something that sparked a drag race—and Ronan would come alive, would feel that all the boredom and dread had come to fruition. He’d lived for that kind of adrenaline — the normal kind, the kind that made sense. He’d been hungry for that, running away from his father’s lessons. He’d thought he could stand to die wrapped around a tree in a pile of smoking plastic and metal, fire and alcohol burning in his veins as he bled out on the asphalt, better than getting torn apart on his family home’s driveway by vengeful vampires. And yet here he was, willingly stepping into the beast’s den. Another Hennessy-shaped exception.

the deal with ronan’s backstory in the original fanfic isn’t really specified, so im making things up as i go, as well as taking inspiration from elliptical’s other vampire au where ronan is an ex-hunter.

in my version of this au, ronan started getting fed up with keeping the family business a secret pretty early on (i took heavy inspiration from ronan’s restlessness about secrets in the dreamer trilogy’s flashbacks). he didn’t outright rebel, but he started avoiding niall’s lessons and his responsabilities to attend kavinsky’s substance parties-- more “normal”, if reckless, teenage fun.

im still trying to figure out how to draw a parallel between ronan and kavinsky that makes sense with the canon material, but i think im just going to make him “oh, the other gay guy in town”, and have ronan relate to him because of that.

im also still trying to figure out if i want to make adam and gansey part of his past, or just keep them out of the picture completely...?

[probablymoons]

noah playing with blue’s hair is such a fun lil detail. the fact that her hair is called a “vestigial ponytail” & that he is a ghost…

i started rereading the raven cycle on like. sunday? im already done with book 2

i forgot adam and ronan werent really friends in the beginning! also the damn. kavinsky interlude… sicko hahaha yes!

def have some criticism but i dont even think its worth organizing my thoughts on it all. no one cares + its probably all been said <3

the amount of. idk. space that it has is really nice. that doesnt make sense but i dont remember that feeling in anything i read when i was younger

[adamprrishcycle]

Aaaaaaahhhh!!!!! How exciting we have something in common.

My husband witnessed my reactions while reading the series. He thinks Kavinsky is so badass with his Mitsubishi 🙄 I consumed book 1-3 so fast and it took me over a month to finish TRK and he was so concerned. He asked me daily if I was going to read it.

Yes, I am definitely going the read “the Ronan trilogy” (as my husband calls it). I am so interested as to why everyone is suddenly in love with Declan. However, I’m going to take some time off. As much I want to jump right to it, I want to properly “mourn” trc (and Gansey) and read some fics.

P.S. to your friend’s point, yes, one does not simply get over RCGIII :)

-TRK Anon

Hey!! I totally understand wanting a break to digest it all and mourn and read fic and generally become unhinged on every theory and tiny detail. I just hope you can avoid spoilers! I mean... my pinned post contains a massive dreamer tril spoiler so IM SORRY! I love that your husband is so invested. Mine doesn't care, except he'll read the fic I've written sometimes just bc he can't believe what comes out of my head and to tell me he should be editing my grammar before I post anything lmao (I don't think my grammar is too bad but who knows, maybe it is) Ok... you are about to get on the declan train, there is no doubt about it. You can't not, I don't make the rules!!! You're about to enter a world of declan lynch and general lynch brothers/lynch family pain and you'll love it tbh. But for now enjoy the post trk depression and that all consuming feeling of not physically being able to get enough general trc content into you... unless that's just a me thing

[webslingingslasher]

hi friend, i feel like im being annoying bc i keep coming in here but between the bad date which i still haven’t told u ab and tn, I’ve had the worst week . i need to tell u ab it (it’s not heavy dw, i hate trauma dumping. it’s silly in hindsight but still sad)

my dad deleted his amazon account just to piss me off bc i was the only person who used it. my kindle was linked to it and when he deleted his account, he deleted everything from my kindle with it too. I’ve had the same kindle since i was 13. so for almost 9 years, my entire life was basically documented on it. i had a plug-in where i could doodle on the pages as well as just highlight and annotate them. when i was 13 I would hide under my covers and doodle over every peter kavinsky quote i read and literally my entire girlhood was documented on that. like from 13-22 (now), everything was on there. i know there was always a risk of this happening but it’s legit been a decade and nothings happened and nothing would happen unless the main amazon account was purposefully deleted. if he did it by accident it would be a diff story but it was on purpose, he was drunk and annoyed and decided to piss me off by doing it and im just so sad

my mum feels bad and offered to buy me new books on there but i don’t even want that. those memories were priceless and now they’re all gone :(

thanks for listening -🤍

oh my god :( im so so sorry is there nothing to be done to reverse it?? your dad sucks and im sending love

✝ main ✝ bio ✝ face ✝ muse ✝ starters ✝ wishlist ✝

about:

This is a sideblog, and I follow back from my main @grimmusings. Please direct IMs there, since it's easier for me to keep all my messages on one blog. It's also easier to start interactions with me there, where I regularly post open starters and meme prompts. For a full list of rules, see my main. Honesty hour questions will largely be answered IC and treated as anonymous unless signed by a muse.

There are major spoilers ahead for The Raven Cycle and some for the Dreamer trilogy. Ronan has the ability to take objects or beings (or sometimes entire forests) out of his dreams. There's no real limit to what he can take--if it works in the dream, it works in real life, beyond the bounds of reason or physics--but he must be on a ley line to use the power, and he'll die if he leaves the line for too long. He guards this secret ferociously, so there is no chance your muse would know about it unless they're a fellow canon in the know or it's been heavily plotted ahead of time. What they are welcome to notice is that he's often surrounded by improbable objects or that he constantly hums with dream energy if they're supernaturally sensitive to that sort of thing.

I typically pull my portrayal from some time after he's graduated from Aglionby, while Adam is away at college, and Ronan is fucking around dreaming things, taking care of the Barns, and generally being a menace. I take some elements from the Dreamer trilogy, including Ronan's friendship with Jordan and their investigation into sweetmetals (made objects or art that keep dreamed things awake even after their dreamers die, otherwise they fall into an unwakeable sleep). In addition to the intricate tattoo on his back, Ronan also has the chainmail tattoo on one arm that's made of sweetmetal ink to keep him awake off a ley line. However, I typically don't include Ronan's friendship with Bryde, their bout of ecoterrorism, or the plot with the Moderators.

wanted connections:

Per canon, he's a hostile jerk to most people, so please do not interact if you're not prepared for that. Likewise, your muses are welcome to respond in kind, since being an asshole has consequences. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I can roll with most muses as far as basic interactions. I’m happy to ship Ronan with other TRC characters and OCs/fandom crossovers based on chemistry, but unless they’re on my OTP list, they need plotting and interaction first. There is never any pressure to ship with me, even if they’re on my list.

Please note that I write Ronan as homosexual, as supported by his canon, and I only ship him with male muses, with the exception of a polycule that includes Blue Sargent (because imo the canon also supports all of them being in love with each other). He doesn't consider this as much a secret as it used to be, and while he's come a long way in terms of acceptance, that Catholic guilt is hard to shake, and he still struggles to be open about it. There may be some internalized homophobia in his threads.

OTPs: Adam Parrish, Richard Campbell Gansey III, Noah Czerny, Blue Sargent, Joseph Kavinsky NOTPs: Anyone on the family list (it should go without saying, but you'd be surprised), Bryde Family: Matthew Lynch, Declan Lynch Other: Jordan Hennessy, Opal, any supernatural/powered people because he feels very alone in that secret

default verses:

canon (+/-): Ronan's main verse, with any events that take place post-Aglionby.

horror!verse: Any crossover verses with other paranormal/horror fandoms.

multiverse!madness: Ronan dreams an object that can take him to alternate dimensions and back and stays out of curiosity. Crossover/duplicate friendly!

1. 💔, 2. 🎨, 3. 👀

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

OKAY SO it's come to my attention that nearly everything i write is kinda on the sad side of things but honestly ?? tbqh ?? ive never written anything with the intention of being sad. they're all silly jokes to me. so uhhh took the long way round to say no, none of my fics broke my heart. (not sure im capable of that since i think if i set out to write something sad it would just be uffhhddhd so melodramatic)

🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?

this hasn't happened to me but im pretty sure i would pledge eternal fealty and my hand in battle if anyone took the time draw anything re: my stuff. that's like ?? insane y'know ??

I added some "i hate everyone in this world but you fr" typa songs, and I ofc added some "i am in love but ill try to convice myself i dont like you bc im sent out to kill you" songs. I loved making this playlist, tysm anon!
