YEAH YEAH YEAH. I'm 100% with you on this!! I want to see Matthew show his growth and get some recognition from his brothers.

I *NEED* a scene where Matthew and Declan talk through their fight, then start interacting with each other differently. (Shout out to this phenomenal post by @clotpolesonly --which perfectly describes how I wish Matthew and Declan's conflict would've played out. 👏).

God, my heart breaks, thinking about Matthew walking all that way alone. 🥺

And when he gets back, it's so different.

Parents-but-not-his-parents and brothers who changed as much as he did.

Then, I think it would have been really REALLY cool for Bryde to survive!! He and Matthew could have a cool dynamic swap!!

As Matthew starts feeling a bit jaded and bitter, Bryde is learning that life can just be about living.

The two of them interacting and learning from each other fills me with painful and beautiful hope.

I am determined to something with this concept...Eventually. 😭

i think we as a society moved on from matthew decking declan across the face too quickly

this came to me in a dream

He’s a ten but he had a mental breakdown and became an ecoterrorist because a magician didn’t respond to his texts

We talk about the Ronan dog metaphor a lot, but I never see people really diving into the hawk metaphor. Ronan is Gansey's dog because when it comes down to it, he wants to be collared, he wants to be loyal to Gansey, he wants to heel and sit and attack when told to. But a hawk is not domesticated traditionally. It is caught and hooded and chained, and called down from where it is soaring, from where it is free and doing what it was born to do. And who tells Ronan that he is not a dog but a hawk? Bryde, who wants Ronan to embrace recklessness and divorce himself from connection. Bryde who is Ronan. (Because all of Ronan's living dreams are him, not the case for every dreamer but absolutely the case for Ronan). Ronan is telling himself that no, he actually doesn't want this simple contained life--which is partially true, the Barns are killing him, but he's conflating that with his recent heartache over Adam and overcorrecting to pretend that not being able to have something normal with Adam doesn't hurt him.

(only rule for the last option is they have to have interacted on page at least once within the three books)

It was so hard to be a Ronan Lynch defender while reading Mister Impossible like what the fuck was that man doing

[threefuckencrowsinaleatherjacket]

Is anyone gonna talk about Rapture by Blondie and Ronan Lynch or do I have to do everything myself around here

[lizpaige]

my hot take that no one asked for is yall complained a lot about tdt but none of you mentioned the lack of opal representation and it shows 😒

Honestly don‘t know what to make of this conversation I just had on ft with my friend so I’m transcribing it here so I won’t forget it.

Ac: you have a lot of dreams about marrying both Ronan and Adam

Me: yeah I know it’s so weird idk why my brain does this

Ac: you‘re a huge history nerd and won’t shut the fuck up about it. Ever.

Me: yeah you’re point?

Ac: You don‘t relate to Ronan. You also don’t relate to Adam. You think you do but you don’t.

Me: what do you mean??? Ronan Lynch is my favorite character of all time. I named my son after him. My cats name is LITERALLY ADAM.

Ac: yeah. That’s my point, meebs. You‘re literally fucking Gansey. You’re obsessed with these two characters because they what you want to be in life. You have a raging savior complex. You‘re an autistic lil guy who wants to talk about history and you simp over your friends and the amount of anxiety you have could kill a small child.

Me: first of all I didn’t fucking ask you.

Ac: you drive a shitty orange mustang and called it the hog bc you ‘didn’t want to disrespect the pig like that’

kavinsky may have died in the dream thieves but you cannot convince me that his presence and memory didn't shape ronan's "ecoterrorism driven by my own subconscious" plotline in the dreamer trilogy. he would have loved that shit. u never forget ur worst and whatnot
