Gansey: i don’t want to tell anyone that blue and I are in a relationship cause it could change the dynamic of our group and possibly make things awkward since she and Adam used to date
Adam, kicking down the door: BITCH YOU WONT BELIEVE WHO I JUST MADE OUT WITH
Gansey: who?
Adam: RONAN!!!
Gansey, about to have a fucking stroke: what
One of my best friends has decided she wants to learn how to do makeup but she didn’t want to wear it herself because its bright colourful eyes and lips and glitter and she hates the attention.
Now. My entire closet is made up of brown and black and dark greens and blues. I do not wear makeup but I also don’t care about people starring. So now, she wakes me up every few days super early to do my makeup. And you know what? It’s one of my favourite parts of the day. She puts on my hot pink eyeliner and I walk to my modern literature class feeling hot as hell. Telling everyone my friend did my makeup so proudly. And I’ve suddenly realized that no matter how much I hate mornings and the fact that by the end of the day my makeup is smudged it is all worth it to see my friend beam at me when she sees me and I tell her how many compliments I got. Because she still won’t wear eyeshadow anything outside of neutrals and I still won’t wear clothes brighter than a navy blue. And its like I have a little part of her every time I go to class.

gd. richard gansey iii is literally Such a deeply bizarre dude. this short WASP kid from a wealthy and respected political family really just said nope to all of that and decided to be a 15 year old hitchhiker bum in europe entirely alone from all of his family and spend his teenage years hyperfixating on an obscure piece of welsh history because he resurrected from the dead and he thinks that the dead king from celtic mythology saved his life. he comes to aglionby like, yes i am likeable and perfectly normal, i am neurotypical, i am a generic richboy who is excellent at social cues and societal norms, you will all love me, my near-obsessive hyperfixation with an obscure mythical ruler due to severe ptsd and a near-death experience (about which i claim i did in fact die, and came back to life) is super normal, it is so unremarkable and normal of me to think that said long-dead king actually didn’t die at all but he came to a tiny little town in southern virginia to go to sleep for a couple hundred years and this is absolute fact in my mind, i am the posterboy for WASP politics men when they are teenagers. like what do they all think of him.
“break will be here in just a few days,” adam said. he kissed ronan’s cheek, lightly, and then ronan’s mouth. “i’m coming back. be here for me.”

A friend I recently made sat down with me for supper today and asked if I’ve read The Secret History because I “dress as someone who would’ve.”
