after watching twin peaks the gray man kinda gives me dale cooper vibes 🫶 my special agent and my special hitman

“even though he knew he couldn’t save himself, he couldn’t ever seem to convince himself to stop fighting.”

“‘it’s only you. why do you hate you?’
‘i don’t,’ he said.
and he woke up.”

AHHHH MY FAVORITE SCENE EVER HAPPY PRIDE MONTH RONAN LYNCH

“‘what’s here, k? nothing! no one!’
‘just us.’
there was a heavy understanding in that statement, amplified by the dream. i know what you are, kavinsky had said.
‘that’s not enough,’ ronan replied.
‘don’t say dick gansey, man. do not say it. he is never going to be with you’

then the passage about ronan considering gansey his brother AGHHH i love. k didn’t even know what he was jealous of

oh the horror of getting into a fight with your best friend and immediately calling said best friend’s girl for comfort.

i feel like every time i read this book i understand adam more. will always back him. but also i get gansey more too, the constant overthinking and regret of every word that slips out of your mouth

“gansey’ll forgive you, man. he doesn’t want to sleep alone.”

fuck kavinsky but he kinda ate with that one 💀

chapter 33 always makes me SO emotional with gansey and adam at the party 😭 adam slowly losing his grip on reality and hearing the voices and his eyes locking on gansey’s in the crowd UGHHH can we just pretend they’re not going to get into their biggest argument after this!!!!

“adam remembered all at once what it felt like to be real, to be adam, instead of my friend, adam parrish…” (264).

me when ronan-and-gansey had been a two-headed creature for so long, but he couldn’t say it, there were a thousand reasons he couldn’t say it 🥲

but yeah sure totally normally to lose your mind when your best friend leaves for approximately three days. nothing to see here.

“he wished summer was over. at least when he was at aglionby he could turn over his papers to see the grades, concrete proof of his success at something” (85).

also blue basically saying adam would benefit from smoking weed LOL real

“if adam was stupid about his pride, gansey was stupid about adam” 😭😭😭😭

“‘i know it was you. i figured it out. the rent.’ he held ronan’s gaze for just a moment longer, until something inside ronan unwound and he almost said something.”
…
“ronan’s second secret was adam parrish. adam was different since making the bargain with cabeswater. stronger, stranger, farther away. it was hard not to stare at the odd and elegant lines of his face.”

I LOVE THEM SO
