MmmMMmm thoughts on the raven king,
it could have stayed in the oven a little longer tbh.
like i loved some parts, some chapters, buttttt gosh it was missing so much.
im going to have to reread to really get into the parts and aspects that are really bothering me but this is really just the first batch of complaining from me.
i didn’t care about piper when i feel like i should have. i loved her in the last book but this time i was like ‘yawn ok piper’ it was boring, her death was anticlimactic too. that entire “auction scene” was boring to me like.... i could have done without it.
i wanted to care more for henry and i think i was supposed to but he was still gooey in the center. more oven time. fics are probably going to make me love henry more. but yeah, boring. not him as a character per se but his entire story. (i do secretly ship ganseyxbluexhenry now wow let me have that.)
i didn’t enjoy the pynch scenes really but i have to reread to get into that since i cant pinpoint what about that was bleh to me.
but on to something that really pissed me off,
the discovery of glendower. the lack of fanfare, the fact that he was just a dead dude. that - pissed me off. not because it happened, but because of when it happened. maybe if that happened a whole book ago, i would have been more excited to be honest? like ahhh shit where do we go from here? but since that happened with a few chapters left i was like ‘ok so....’ and i got mad because i knew it would be a crappy ass end like... there’s no build up from that just a straight line of question marks. im still mad. i thought that was so boring. i thought explaining the kill gansey and bring him back to life plan was boring. i thought the demon destroying cabeswater was also a bit boring like... mmm i feel like the demon + piper thing could have been played out a bit better....
these are just surface thoughts like please discuss this w/ me if you had similar feelings because im just <:
aristotle & dante quotes: 7/?
I wanted to tell them that I never knew that people like Dante existed in the world, people who looked at the stars, and knew the mysteries of water, and knew enough to know that birds belonged to the heavens and weren’t meant to be shot down from their graceful flights by mean and stupid boys.
hi imagine adam and ronan getting into a fight where adam storms out of monmouth and gansey calls him hours later like “can you please come do something with your boyfriend?” and in the background he can hear the clutter of noah and ronan making a makeshift band out of crap around monmouth and playing blink 182′s I Miss You
“You each get your own private room.”
You fools. You think this will stop me, a fanfic writer, from writing those OTP moments? The gay is only beginning, my friends.
Please consider:
- “I had to jump three balconies and crawl up two flights to see you”
- “I’m stuck in the stairwell to your room because there’s another couple making out and they’ll spot me”
- “our rooms are right next to each other but we still text all the time”
- “you live down the hall from me and it’s only now that I’m realizing that you have the cutest pajamas ever”
- “you play shitty music at 3 in the morning and I’m not afraid to kill you”
- “you’ve been reading those notes out loud for the past four hours and I’m just listening in because I’m learning more from you than I did the entire two weeks of lessons”
- “dude you’ve been playing sad music for the past three days are you okay”
- “I’m the stress baker and you’re the stress eater and we’re always stressed so we end up become best friends”
- “I tried to do laundry for the first time ever and it looked easy but now there’s soap everywhere and all my white clothes are pink will you stop laughing and help me please”
- “we’re study partners before we moved into the dorms so we don’t change anything but we do find out that everyone else thinks we’re dating so they end up leaving us alone to study how convenient”
- “someone keeps stealing my favorite socks and when I find out who I’m going to strangle them with their shoelaces”
- “someone through the gaudiest pair of shoes up on the roof who in their right mind would wear those - oh they’re YOUR shoes?”
- “I ran out of hygiene supplies so I’m borrowing yours but I keep forgetting to buy more so we always share but I end up liking you a lot so I always say I ‘forgot to buy more’ and I think you’ve caught on but you’re not saying anything”
- “I have twelve tons of homework I kept putting off but you’ve had yours done for weeks but you won’t let me copy so I have to sneak into your room for the answers and wow you really love weird socks”
- “you keep burning candles and the smell keeps drifting over to me and I’d usually be fine with that but you have a terrible taste in candles”
Guys this is our chance for every single “dorm room shenanigans” thing EVER
