do u ever think abt the fact that gansey fucking thought literally none of his problems mattered compared to this friends’ bc he’s rich. like he literally died and he thought that the repercussions he was dealing with bc of that were completely unimportant compared to his friends’ problems. he Knew literally the Entire Series!!! that he was gonna die but he never told anyone. he shouldered that the whole series and acted like everything was fine bc he thought!!!!his problems!!!! didnt matter!!!bc!!! hes!!!! rich!!!!! fUCK

#like this boy was literally suffering from severe ptsd the entire series but was like ‘yeah i dont have any REAL problems’#i think a lot about how he was willing to die without a second thought in trk#how he felt like his only purpose in life was to sacrifice himself#AND HOW THE WAY HE DEALT WITH THINKING HIS PURPOSE WAS TO DIE WAS DO EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE SURE HIS FRIENDS#WOULD BE OK AFTER HE WAS GONE#and all of the guilt he felt about being alive because noah had died#i dont he ever realized how much his friends really loved him or how deserving of life he is#god i could write an essay about this but richard gansey iii Deserves Happiness (via lieutenantriza)

  • “Contemplating”
  • Im sorry I have a lot to say abt bluesey
  • Send me a character or ship nd ill make headcanons

hi <333 i was wondering, did you put off the romance in trc for so long on purpose? when i first read the series, i was surprised that blue and gansey didn't even become a thing until bllb, and you spent so much more time on adam and gansey's relationship. i get that a few months isn't a lot of time for people to get together, but with the way the series is paced, it feels like forever. was there a reason for that? xoxo

Dear minty-minho,

Deep in my black heart, I always dreamed of a day when I would write a series full of non-romantic friendships with as much tension — nay, more — than the romantic relationships. Where readers would gasp and clutch their pillow in suspense 
 not over whether or not A and B would kiss, but rather if C and D would still be friends in a month. 

Not to discount romance or kissing in the slightest, of course. Rather to lift up and point at the Healing Power of All-Consuming Best Friendship. 

A reader asked me at a signing if Calla and Persephone had been sleeping together — if that was why Calla was destroyed by the events of book 3. I don’t recall what I said at the time — probably I just opened my mouth and words poured out in a grammatical fashion — but I was thinking how strange I felt about the idea that a platonic or asexual relationship was considered to be a subordinate thing to a sexual relationship; that passion in the sack equaled passion in one’s heart. Love is love. I am ferocious about my best friends; I reckon that is what I’m trying to say in The Raven Cycle.

Does that make the answer “yes”? I think it does. Yes. There was a reason.

urs,

Stiefvater 

ETA: I forgot to mention that when I wrote The Raven Boys, I had a sticky note affixed to my computer that read: Remember that the worst thing that can happen is that they can stop being friends.Â
