Something about how in chapter 4 of trc Adam is insecure about the fray on his second hand sweater, and how it's a symbol of his background and insecurities, and how most people don't notice it, and if they did, they didnt think better of him for it
And how Blue saw it immediately and it was something she liked about him, a girl too good at seeing the vulnerabilities of other people, but Adam didnt want someone to see his insecurities, didn't want someone to acknowledge that life
But Gansey did. Gansey needed someone to see him at his worst and love him for it, and blue did that
And how Adam needed someone to see him at his most unruly, and encouraged that
And Ronan makes Adam loud
#i love these ships sm. adam and blue were never going to work out because they needed different things out of a relationship#blue needed honesty. she needed someone who wouldnt try and hide from her or keep her seperate from their life#and adam didn't want someone who was always going to see what he tried to hide and would remind him of it#by virtue of coming from a similar place#gansey is always so strong for everyone and so repressed he didnt think he was ALLOWED to have bad days#and when he was vulnerable with blue instead of pushing him away she liked him more for it#while ronan looked at adam and *saw* him and then did not remind him of it#quite help in the background; treating him thr same as anyone else; showing him its okay to be wild and his life isnt defined#by the line between the poverty of love and money of his youth and his ambitions for the future#have i made a lick of sense#im tired and doint my second reread of the year#when will this series free me#shay posts#trc#trc brainrot#gansey my blorbo#the raven cycle#the raven boys#the dream thieves#blue lily lily blue#the raven king#gansey#bluesey#blue sargent#adam parrish#ronan lynch#pynch#richard gansey#richard campbell gansey iii

I have 1 week before the greatest drop of all so I'm gonna push out my Summer headcanon quick as I can.
I bet that she went down the same destructive cycle as Ruby has. Summer started out wanting to be a hero, coming to Beacon and getting recruited to thr Ozluminati.
But the moral greyness that imevitably pops up when you're a part of a secret conspiracy wore on her perceptions of what a hero does. Combined with failures to save people or making wrongs choices -just like Ruby- Summer lost faith. Feeling that she was a failure, that Ozpin was a problem.
Raven wasn't the only member of Team STRQ that had enough of Ozpin's plans and lies, Summer did too, she just saw it from a different perspective.
When she gets to the edge, Summer decides that she has to do something, she can't just sit back and let this shadow war wage forever. She has silver eyes, shes supposed to be special.
Summer feels that she has to be a hero, and wants to prove it, so she tells her family about a vague mission, goes behind Ozpins back, and confronts Salem.
Years later, Ruby dreams of being a hero, only to suffer under the weight of reality.
Its such a pity then, that she didn't have her mother there to teach her what its really like, and how she could do it better than Summer had.

The Atlas Paradox
Hello tumblr, long time no see
Soo I absolutely remember nothing from the previous book so had to go look up a summary
Still not sure but who cares

👏tristan👏
Ik i keep talking about tristan and callum but i just cant help it man
If anyone ill worship u reina, all crawling on knees and letting blood run down cold altars
My academically fuelled past: You’re not trying to save me, are you?”
My depression; “No, not to feed into your whole ‘nobody cares’ thing, but I really don’t give a shit about you.”
Ms.Blake be using scientific terminology like entropy and space time and brownian motion and im not exactly sure shes using it right but im too distracted by the characters and too drunk on the art to care
Ik it seems like i dont talk about parisa a lot but i dooo like her
Ezra is such a little bitch and like i get what he is doing but he is still. A little bitch.
Ok so i just finished THAT kissing scene and all i ask is why. Thats it. Why. WHY. N.p

Why are M/M ships better written than W/W ones?
I'm no master in literature by any means but this really bugs me. I've read Six of Crows, All for the Game, The Raven Cycle, Call down the hawk, the entirety of the Shadowhunter Chronicles and all those books have really compelling gay couples. In the Shadowhunter universe Magnus x Alec (TyxKit, AlastairxThomas) are more fleshed out and have gotten so much extra content in recent years. Anna x Ariadne and Aline x Helen are pretty nice and all but not as thrilling. I've thought about it for a while but in my mind the dynamic between m/m couples cannot be translated into w/w and those seem cute but a littly bland to me or the synopsis of books just doesn't interest me.
I've gone out of my way to search for explicit lgbtq books and during this time I've devoured some in a couple of days.
Running with Lions(Julian Winters): really cute and thrilling, i've had several moments where I've been fistpumping the air (m/m, bisexual protagonist)
Her Royal Highness(Rachel Hawkins): also cute, somewhat unrealistic (f/f, bisexual protagonist)
Not your Sidekick (C. B. Lee) interesting world, absolutely predictable, cute couple (f/f, bisexual protagonist) (also read Not your Villain and want to read Not your Backup for the ace Rep)
Red, White & Royal Blue (Casey McQuiston) damn what a book, great parallel universe, love too see it some day.. absolutely thrilling storyline (which is somewhat similar to Her Royal Highness but better) actually made me believe in the goodness of American politics (which says a lot because I am european and hate the US government for various disgusting crimes they've comitted during history) (m/m, bisexual protagonist)
My conlusion after reading these books: I liked the f/f ones but the m/m where just objectively better. Am I going crazy, reading the wrong books or not enjoying them as much as I should...? Don't get me wrong I love every rep we can get but I am annoyed. And I also don't want to be the girl that only reads m/m books because that can be wrongfully interpreted in the feteshizing kind of way (bc I find sex generally uninteresting as I am ace, I just love the chemistry baby).
Has anyone had similar problems or can recommend great books who are in line with my previous reads?
Can someone please discuss this with me I am begging ya'll 🙃

Listening to The Raven Boys again and I just realized that the "gentleman client" that tried to get Maura to move to Baltimore had to be Colin Greenmantle.

(Maybe?) Headcanon
Ronan lynch can draw. And do it well
#honestly its only headcanon bc canon never confirms it#but it sure as fuck is IMPLIED#chapter 30 tdt#'ronan had gotten the spreading intricate tatto only months before#a little to irritate declan#a little to see if it was really as bad as everyone said#and definitely so everyone who glimsed the hooks of it had fair warning.#it was full of things from his head#beaks and claws and flowers and vines stuffed into screaming mouths'#he DREAMT the tattoo in the first place didnt he??#ans i doubt he said to an artist#'this is what i want in thr tattoo. make it complicated and anstract' and like tweaked it#i think its far more likely that the boy who creates in the truest sense of the word either dreamt a picture or fucking drew it himself#of what he wanted#and showed it to people as a concept then got it anywah#also i think the ides of ronan with charcoal on his hands and hidden sketchbooks to be very interesting#a hobby he abandonded when he abandoned thr boy hed been before his dad died#the raven cycle#ronan lynch#shay posts#the dream thieves#trc#trc brainrot

Because God forbid the guy tries to talk to people instead of demonizing everyone that doesn't agree with him.
It's not like he's betraying the left or anyting.
Captain America has a new mission for the Trump era: “to create informed, responsible and empathetic citizens.”
Chris Evans, who stars in the upcoming “Avengers: Endgame,” is launching A Starting Point, a new website aiming to get regular citizens involved in politics.
“You don’t want to alienate half your audience,” Evans told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I’d be disappointed in myself if I didn’t speak up. Especially for fear of some monetary repercussion or career damage — that just feels really gross to me.”
Evans, an outspoken Trump critic, was spotted in Washington D.C. in recent weeks with several lawmakers, including U.S. senators from both parties.
The site, which doesn’t have a launch date, is co-founded by Evans with actor Mark Kassen and entrepreneur Joe Kiani.
Evans has become known for his presidential clapbacks since President Donald Trump took office.
In October 2018, following President Trump’s tweet about the “Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People,” Evans responded by telling his 10 million followers, “‘Help! I’ve never done anything wrong in my entire life, but somehow hostility is at an all time high. Just because I kick beehives all day, it’s not MY fault when people get stung! No one has EVER been treated so unfairly. Sad. Also, where’s Obama’s birth certificate?'”
Evans, a Boston native, also didn’t mince words when it came to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s past support of the Trump.
“I really hope he’s not a Trump supporter,” Evans told THR. “I’m just hoping he’s one of those guys that maybe supported him and now regrets it.”
“Maybe he thought it was going to be different — and even that bothers me — but maybe there’s a chance now he just thinks Trump’s an absolute dumb shit, which he is,” Evans said. “If he doesn’t, if he’s still on that Trump train, I might have to cut ties. It’s really tough.”
But this is how the Daily Beast spins it.
Chris Evans, heretofore known as America’s Hottest Chris, is getting into politics. Or at least, that’s how the reveal of his new “secret, non-partisan civic engagement” venture has been framed.
Here is what we know about “A Starting Point,” Evans’ “secret” (?) “civic engagement” (?) project:
It will be a website
It will feature interviews with politicians from both parties
The project became public when a video Evans sent out to Congress members got leaked (or “leaked”) to CNN. Apparently Evans was inspired to create this platform when he wanted to “get both sides of an issue in a succinct way that he can trust.”
And for some reason, instead of asking policy researchers, or academics, or librarians, or journalists, or anyone else who might actually be a “non-partisan” expert on various issues, he chose to ask: partisan politicians.
This whole thing appears to have been teased back when Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX)—who infamously was an administrator on a Facebook group that circulated conspiracy theories and white nationalist memes—showed off his Captain America glass eye to Evans. Just so we’re clear on the state of our nation: an American 2-year-old with a genetic condition can’t get a wheelchair covered by his insurance company, but a congressman can have a Captain America glass eye for fun. Sure, Chris Evans, the problem with America is definitely that politicians don’t get enough of a chance to talk about whatever they want.
Here’s the thing: If you can hear the phrase “both sides” in contemporary American discourse and not immediately see red flags, you are in deep trouble, pal.
First of all, there are more than two positions on any given political issue. Democrats do not all agree, nor do Republicans. There are liberals and moderates and conservatives—a whole spectrum of ideology. And the idea that framing every issue as something in which you choose between two parties’ positions will somehow reduce partisanship seems very flawed.
Medicare for All/Universal Healthcare/Single Payer
Open borders
Free college
Universal basic income
Here are some issues that do not fall under that category:
White nationalism
Tracking the menstrual cycles of imprisoned immigrant girls to prevent them from obtaining abortions
Putting immigrant children in cages
Separating immigrant children from their parents and then losing track of their origins so that they can’t be reunited
In fact, most issues would benefit more from fact-checking than from a view of “both sides.” Are claims about the costs incurred by undocumented immigrants accurate? How many children have been lost by the federal government? Would universal healthcare really be prohibitively expensive?
Evans’ video doesn’t give any indication of the “policy issues” or “common questions” to which he is going to get politicians to provide clear information. The only question we do see politicians answer is “what inspired you to get into politics in the first place,” and shockingly, no one says “my massive, ravenous ego” or “an insatiable thirst for power.” Weird.
In the video, Evans tells the politicians, “This is a chance for you to talk about issues that matter to you,” because apparently the many campaign stops, televised appearances, and Sunday morning talk shows are not enough. He tells them he’d like to keep their answers to a minute long and they all laugh about how hard that will be, though anyone who’s watched a political debate knows that politicians can very easily spend a full minute not answering a clear and direct question.
And then, while promoting his website that is supposed to be “no spin,” he tells the politicians he���s offering them “a chance not only to galvanize your base, but you might change some minds.”
How is this “no spin?”
Evans’ fundamental question—“Why isn’t there a place that I can go to hear both sides of an issue in a succinct way that I can trust?”—is truly baffling to me. Why on earth would you trust politicians more than journalists?
There’s a couple telling moments in the video. Evans says, “Right now, a lot of people don’t buy the things they read and hear,” and a politician responds, “there’s a lot of mistrust.” The clip conveniently cuts off before specifying where there’s mistrust, but anyone who has been paying attention over the last couple of years knows where that sentence was going.
“In the media.”
Journalists work very hard every day to hold politicians accountable to the people who pay their salaries. They work really hard to get politicians to answer questions—something that should be considered a politician’s responsibility, part of their job. And very few journalists have celebrity power they can use to persuade politicians to talk to them.
And now here we have Chris Evans telling politicians he’s got a bunch of questions for them, but “if you don’t like any of ‘em, we’ll skip ‘em” and “if you don’t like any of your answers, we can do ‘em over.”
This isn’t accountability. This is simply giving politicians a new platform to push their agendas. And the idea that a website like this is where you’ll get news without “spin” feeds into the misconception that has weakened journalism to a truly frightening degree.
Journalists do not “spin.” They report.
Of course not.......
Political spokespersons “spin.” Politicians “spin.” Pundits “spin.” It feels like this was something we used to understand, and I’m not sure why we don’t anymore.
When I was a news reporter, I didn’t care about changing people’s minds. Changing them from what? To what? Why? I had no stake in that. I cared about informing people, helping people feel less unsure and more savvy, shining a light on the way their government, or their city, worked. I cared about holding power to account. And politicians have power.
So do celebrities. And I’d love to see one of them use their power to do something about the national mistrust that has been sown, pitting Americans against each other. Journalists are no different than anyone else. They have bills to pay. They worry about their rights, about gas prices, about their safety. Wouldn’t dismantling this myth of the nefarious journalist, hell-bent on manipulating the people despite having nothing to gain from doing so, go a lot further in “promoting respectful discourse?”
We have a president who repeatedly calls journalists the enemy of the people. You know who benefits from mistrust in journalism? Politicians. When you doubt the accountability journalists provide, it gives powerful people cover to get away with abusing their power.
Do these people know that Chris Evans is a very adamant and very vocal critic of trump and his supporters?

Would you recommened the All for thr game series? I saw it compared to the Raven Cycle (which I love) and Gossip girl (which I don't care about). Also there are so many bad reviews and I don't know if I should read it...
Well I personally recommend it. With all my heart tbh. It’s such a good series, but it has some trigger warnings
here’s a detailed list for all the trigger warnings
So if you don’t have a problem with all those things then READ IT!!! it’s amazing and it will make you cry and it will be totally worth it!!! It’s one of my favourite series that i’ve read so READ IT!!!
