Throwback To The Dream Thieves When Adam “quietly Turned Eighteen” (adam Parrish, Who Did Everything

sometimes i’m normal but then sometimes i think about the endless religious symbolism and parallels in the raven cycle and i want to chew on glass. like something something cabeswater and eden. adam’s name, his being made ‘from dust’, his pursuit of knowledge beyond the circumstances of his birth. ronan being referred to as ‘the snake’: the one who always tempts adam into recklessness. ronan and declan and cain and abel (i wash my hands of him) (i am not my brother’s keeper). gansey’s resurrection, his third birth. ‘important things come in threes?’ ‘or sevens’. ronan and joseph kavinsky and joseph the prophet with their strange dreams that overlap into the real world. dreaming as a form of blasphemous creation. the three fox way women and the holy trinity. aurora lynch and the virgin mary and matthew lynch and the infant jesus - immaculate conception, pure souls without sin. absent yet overly mythologized fathers. i am going to throw up

I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but I love that each raven boy corresponds to a horseman of the apocalypse:

Ronan: war (fights anything with a social security number, is also battling his own emotions/fears)

Noah: pestilence (his body/spirit decaying over time)

Adam: famine (often described as hungry, represents a more figurative interpretation of starvation/desire)

Gansey: death (for obvious reasons)

I guess Noah and Gansey could be switched, as Noah is quite literally dead and Gansey could be interpreted as Conquest in place of Pestilence.

anyways, I just thought this was kind of interesting

rereading blue lily lily blue. gansey, your autistic swag has forever bewitched me

I bring a sort of "can't read social cues" vibe to every social situation that I can't tell if anyone likes or not

it's them

My ides tiramisu, if you even care

y'all remember when chainsaw man said "capitalism and abuse makes people so lonely and isolated that they risk their own integrity and well being just to have an normal life and be loved" and now it's saying "to meet someone who understands you and you relate to is disturbing and disgusting and so annoying but now you'll never be alone again and you would give everything to keep them" yea that fucks me up a little

they hate me at the bike repair shop due to the fact i am always trying to break the cycle
