to go with my very long raven cycle quote list here
Adam. Adam Parrish was the destination of this road trip. Is there any version of you that could come with me to Cambridge?
Adam. Ronan missed him like a lung.
He could feel his pulse thudding in his jaw. He could hear it in his ears. It sounded like everyone else’s heartbeat, he thought. Just like Adam’s heart when it was resting on his chest.
Ronan’s attention stuck on his hands. Lovely boyish hands with prominent knuckles, gaunt and long like his unfamiliar face. “Who’s that?” Gansey had asked, and Ronan hadn’t answered, just kept hanging out the window. As they passed, Adam’s expression was all contradictions: intense and wary, resigned and resilient, defeated and defiant. Ronan hadn’t known anything about who Adam was then, and, if possible, he’d known even less about who he himself was, but as they drove away from the boy with the bicycle, this was how it had begun: Ronan leaning back against his seat and closing his eyes and sending up a simple, inexplicable, desperate prayer to God: please.

i hate you romantically involved characters who talk to each other like they’re in a couples counseling session, i hate you watering down of the word toxic, i hate you plot twists where the male love interest is actually a villain because see, silly girl? in the REAL world guys like that are DANGEROUS, i hate you relationship therapist breaks down movie couple’s relationship videos, i hate you “romeo and juliet were just stupid horny teenagers” “belle had stockholm syndrome” “wuthering heights isn’t romantic” hot takes, i hate you sanitization of romance in fiction
ajkssdjfk this is becoming a problem
its kinda rushed but i made this it'd be cool if yall took it
more adam parrish heartbreak bc i'm (still) rereading tdt and he's breaking my heart!!!
•"besides adam was good at hiding things"
•"but adam was thinking about the suppressed truth: the two of them were on perpendicular paths, not parallel ones, and eventually, they'd have to go different ways. by college, probably. if not college, then after. a tension was building in him, like the one that sometimes haunted him late at night, where he wanted to save gansey or *be* gansey"
•"he *was* adam parrish, army of one. gansey raised by these adoring courtiers, would never be able to understand that"
•"i won't take your pity"
•"i am unknowable"
•"adam has killed himself for aglinoby, he said suddenly and for what? education?"
•"the bruises he'd come to school with. who has he ever had to love him? ever?"
•"how terrible it would be, blue thought, her mind on adam again, to not have a mother who loved you?"

I’m pretty sure the implicit message of “So if you want equality that means we can hit you now, right?” Has always just been “You are smaller and weaker than we are. We can violently destroy you at any time and most of us have wanted to, but we restrain ourselves because you’re weak and vulnerable and subservient. If you want to act like you aren’t weak and vulnerable and subservient, there will be nothing stopping me from acting on my constant desire to violently destroy you.”
the punching scene where everything’s the same but Meeks is no longer Passively Angry™️ but outright furious alongside Charlie
I’m talking “keep my wife’s NAME out your FUCKING MOUTH” type beat
he’s 100% on Charlie’s side, he probably just held him back so he wouldn’t get in trouble
I mean, look at this man
he is ✨angy✨
