#who fears the monster that knows the taste of a whip

[ravlykpavlyk]

aftg is both my therapy and the reason I need this therapy.

[kevjeanday]

I could talk about Jean / Andrew parallels for days but just the fact that the upperclassmen refer to Andrew (and his lot) as monsters and then Cat referring to the Ravens as monsters (what we don’t understand is how a grown-ass man took a bunch of kids and turned them into monsters for sport.)

[gaysolangelo]

my aftg rainbow crate set arrived today 🥹 i’m reading betsy’s pov in the raven king rn, and i am in utter shambles

[portentorum]

bop it. twist it. pull it.

"Who fears the monster that knows the taste of a whip?' Andrew asked. 

Nora woke up one morning and decided to threaten Shakespeare

"his (neil's) father's people tore up his arms with a lighter and knives, and none of it is going to fade. he doesn't need to see those" (I'M CRYING HE CARES HE CARES SO MUCH I'M GONNA BE SICK HE'S SO HONEST)

best andrew minyard quotes because why was my man spitting shakespearean lines so casually???

“who fears the monster that knows the taste of a whip?”

“hell hath no fury. is your spine the spine of the righteous? are you trying your best to step on my toes because you’re feeling the tragic weight of the holier than thou?”

“truth is irrefutable and untainted by bias. sunrise, abram, death; these are truths.”

“oh, neil. you’re far too heavy to tread ice this thin.”

last but not least because this is the best one

“is your learning curve a horizontal line?”

[chewingonsneakers]

oh

i can’t wait i’m gonna read it. future me how bad is it

Run, Little Rabbit, Run || Tyler Galpin

Fandom: Wednesday Pairing: Tyler Galpin x GN!Reader Words: 1415 Note: This has been rewritten and reposted from a previous blog. Warnings: Dark content. Violence. Possessive behavior. Predator and prey trope. Blood. Summary: You've stuck your nose in where it doesn't belong. Now Tyler has to make sure his secret is safe.

YOU WERE TOO curious for your own good. That’s what they would tell you anyway. People would warn you about how the cat fell prey to its own curiosity. They never remembered to mention how many lives the cat had to spare. You weren’t sure how many you had left, but you knew the supply had to be running short by now.

        Mud squelched beneath your feet and splattered up your legs. Rain showered down from the thunderous sky. The pelts of droplets whipped at you from all directions as it flew in harmony with the gusting wind.

        All sense of direction had been blurred and turned around by the churning storm. Everything around you looked the same bathed in the moonlight. A thick fog had begun to roll in and blanketed any potential path through the underbrush. It perfectly depicted a scene out of a horror movie. Right down to the girl running for her life.

        Tyler sang your name from somewhere behind you. “You can’t run forever, little rabbit.”

        He sounded much closer than he should have been. Much too close for comfort. The only solace you had to cling to was knowing he hadn’t transformed into the Hyde yet. Once he did, there would be no hope of escaping his clutches. You still stood a chance while he was human.

        Except he wasn’t exactly human. He was a beast masquerading as a teenage boy. A disguise that he had used to draw you in. Manipulate you into developing feelings for him. Tricking you into believing his act.

        It wasn’t his fault. Not entirely anyway. Tyler couldn’t help what he was or what he did. Hydes followed whatever orders their masters gave them. Someone was making him disembowel fellow outcasts. But knowing that only made the situation far more terrifying. Knowing there were two killers roaming around but not knowing who the mastermind was.

        You threw a precarious glance over your shoulder. He was nowhere to be seen. But you knew he had to be closing in and gaining on you.

        The toe of your shoe caught on something hidden in the underbrush. You cried out as your body pitched forward. You flung your hands out just in time to prevent you from face-planting the mud. Small rocks and broken twigs stabbed into your exposed skin. You ignored the pain as you scrambled back up to your feet. His laughter ran throughout the woods like he could see you struggling. Watching your hands and feet slip against the slick mud. It echoed around you, nearly impossible to hear which direction it came from in the roaring storm.

        “I can smell you, (Y/N),” he sang. “Your fear, it’s almost intoxicating. I bet you taste even sweeter.”

        He was too close. You ducked behind a large tree and slapped your hand over your mouth. Your breathing was ragged and too loud for you to think he wouldn’t be able to hear it. You needed time to think. Fear’s icy fingers had a choke-hold on your ability to properly think about your next moves. But you knew there wasn’t much you could do. You were in the middle of the woods at night with no way to defend yourself against the monster so dangerous and unpredictable that Nevermore had banned him from the campus.

        You felt your foot nudge something. Looking down to see a solid rock, you slowly slid down the trunk and picked it up. The jagged edges scraped against your palm. It was the closest thing to a weapon you could find out there.

        Letting loose a shaky breath, you peeked around the tree to check his whereabouts. You squinted through the downpour but still saw no sign of him. His absence put you more on edge. Not knowing where he was was worse than if you had come face to face with him.

        “Boo.”

        Crying out, you jerked back and let your arm swing with wild abandon. Tyler easily caught your wielded hand and immediately snatched you by the throat. He slammed you back against the tree. Your head knocked against the wood hard enough for stars to speckle your vision.

        He sighed as he looked at you. Just looked at you with eyes as dark as the secrets he held. You wished you were able to decipher the thoughts behind them. If you knew of his plans for you, knew what he planned to do with you now that he had you trapped, you might have been able to formulate a plan of escape. But even you knew that was wishful thinking. Even if you weren’t exhausted and disoriented, you doubted you would be able to see past the doors into his twisted mind.

        The rock slipped from your muddy fingers. He glanced down at it before giving you a disappointed look. Yet underneath that disappointment was a depraved amusement that contrasted sharply against his once inviting features. He shook his head at you and clicked his tongue.

        “Hasn’t anybody taught you not to run from a predator?” He leaned in with a smirk that twisted your stomach with tendrils of dread. “We enjoy the chase too much,” he said in a low voice.

        Tyler released your hand to touch your face. You resisted the urge to flinch away from his fingers. He stroked his thumb over your cheek with a gentleness that belied the circumstances. Shivers skittered up your spine in the same panic that strangled your mind. You shuddered.

        He chuckled at your body’s reaction to him. “The chase is over now, little rabbit.”

        Not much scared you. Even now, you weren’t sure if it was Tyler himself who scared you, or if it was the unknown of what he wanted with you. It might have been the possibility of your death looming over your head that terrified you—or maybe it was how your imagination ran amuck with ideas of what he was going to do to you if he didn’t kill you.

        You didn’t want to stick around to find out.

        You let the saliva pool on your tongue before spitting it out in his face. As soon as it landed, you brought your knee up sharply. The abrupt fight distracted him just enough for you to shove him away from you with a desperate cry. Just the thought of hurting Tyler churned your stomach, but you knew he would hurt you if you didn’t do what was necessary to get away.

        Your shaky legs could only carry you a few feet before a solid mass slammed into your back. You were tackled to the forest floor, the force knocking the wind from you. Tyler manhandled you onto your back and straddled your thighs. He pinned your wrists above your head with a single hand while you struggled to suck air down into your burning lungs.

        Tears mixed with the rain, blurring your watery eyes as you stared up at his enraged expression. “Tyler, please,” you choked out, the words broken between sobs. “I won’t tell anyone, I swear. Just please don’t… don’t hurt me.”

        The anger mingled with something akin to sympathy. Pity. Something that softened the edges of his gaze. But the twisted depravity glinted darker than the night. “Oh, baby,” he cooed mockingly. “I know you won’t tell anyone.”

        He shifted, and it was then you noticed the jagged rock in his hand. You cried and begged until your throat went hoarse and tears and snot slicked your already wet face. He held you down with no effort despite your desperate thrashing beneath him. Not willing to go out without a fight. If you were going down, it was going to be swinging.

        “You won’t tell anyone,” he repeated quietly once you’d exhausted yourself. “I’ll make sure of it.”

        Your scream died out as he brought the rock down with a grunt. Pain immediately exploded across your skull—throbbed as you felt your skin split, warmth trickling down your chilled face in bloody streaks. He slammed the rock into your temple this time. Black began to edge your watery vision. You grappled onto the slippery cliffs of your consciousness as best as you could, but you could feel your fingers losing their grip until you were tumbling from the precipice.

        Tyler leaned down and put his face in yours, making sure he was the last thing you saw before you were plunged into the darkness. “There’s nowhere left to run, little rabbit. You’re mine now.”

"Everyone knows now, Bee.”

"They will not judge you for it," she said with quiet surety. 

"Who fears the monster that knows the taste of a whip?' Andrew asked. 

"Maybe it's past time to put the monster away," Betsy said. "You could be their friend, their cousin, their brother. Don't you think you deserve that?" 

I AM SO UNWELL

Lines that changed my perception of Andrew Minyard

"He’s not allowed to fight his addiction"

- TRK. CH 9

"I warned you once already, didnt? I dont feel anything."

"Anymore"

- TRK. CH 12

He always knew when Andrew was lying.

 He'd just never before seen Andrew lie to himself.

- EC. Kevin meet Andrew. "It's sad, I can't imagine being so apathetic about life. To never be excited, or happy, or willing to risk it all—what a gray existence. How do you wake up and keep moving every day if you don't get anything out of being alive?" - EC.
