It's Already Common Knowledge That The Animation For ATSV Is Absolutely Bonkers (with The First Film

was thinking about the dreaming tree in trb that shows you your worst nightmares and. ronan doesn’t go in—later revealed that this is because he not only knows what it does but also what he’ll see—but his worst nightmare is bringing back wasps. killing gansey. blue sees herself dangerously close to kissing gansey, fulfilling her curse, also killing gansey. richard “he imagined [finding glendower] might feel a lot like dying” gansey sees himself finding glendower. but adam. we’re never expressly told what he sees, only that gansey’s dead and it’s his fault and ronan hates him for it and he hates himself for it too. the difference is subtle but important. the others see the action. adam sees the end result. the others are afraid of killing gansey. adam is too, but that’s not his worst fear. adam’s worst fear is becoming like his father

truly did not expect the response the sketch of this got, I love all of you

SIX OF CROWS WEEK △ FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP  ▻ KAZ BREKKER AND INEJ GHAFA                 “No Saint ever watched over me. Not like you have”

“Home is where the trees look normal” is the sweetest, saddest, most nostalgic truth I’ve ever heard.

They find each other so fucking funny I'm gonna be sick

fabian falling for the kind, tall mazey — who tells him she plays the drums when they first meet, whose interest in dance was borne from a love of music and instruments. who has a mellow and softhearted personality that helps ground him, is understanding and supportive even when he doesn’t make the best choices. who cares about who he is as a person - maximum legend or not.

gorgug having a thing for mary ann — who hits him hard the first time they meet, who goes around school nonchalant and self-assured. who frustrates gorgug because she reacts heedless of others, even her party members, and makes her own unaccountable decisions. who, right after gorgug concedes a bit of civility to her, promptly moves onto negging him — which gorgug is secretly down bad for. and that’s… not dissimilar to repeatedly allowing oneself to be chased in a locker room getting swatted with a towel.

metaphorically speaking.

Taagnus not as endgame but as meeting your high school sweetheart at the reunion and thinking about what could have been.

Like imagine them falling so completely and utterly in love during the stolen century that when they forget each other its a hole in their chests, raw and stinging when prodded so they leave it alone. Then they meet again and the hole is filled? Probably? I mean, it doesn't hurt quite so much and Magnus's heart glows when Taako makes him chicken soup and Taako's chest feels like it's full of something warm and heavy when he tucks under Magnus's arm to watch the stars but Merle...kind of makes them feel that way too so it must just be having friends for the first time in so long.

And then they remember. And it's like...you were my first love. I forgot you. But I didn't really. I loved someone else but I knew how to love them because of you. And I still love you. But...neither of us is the same person. Julia. Sazed. Raven's Roost. Glamor Springs. It's not even about the fact that Taako has Kravitz now. Its...I don't think I could love you the same way any more, even if I had the energy to try. I think too much has happened. I think too much of me has changed.

Like I just think that Magnus will never be ready to love someone like that again, after Julia. Not even Taako. And it's easier to let him be happy with Kravitz than to untangle this mess.

And I think Taako wants uncomplicated, for once in his life. I think he wants to start over, one last time, and for this time to last, instead of 100 years of wiping the slate clean every year.

And on top of all that, one of them is a human and the other is an elf!! It didn't matter when they died and came back every year, but it does now. It all matters now and--

I think they kiss. Once. I think they gain their memories back and they can't fucking help but squeeze each other tight and kiss each other like they're oxygen. I think they cling to each other, because they forgot, and now they remember and its so good to have you back, I missed you even though you were right there almost but not quite.

I think they kiss. And then they look at each other and realize that this part of their lives is behind them. I think they decide, I can love you, but not like this. I want my best friend back. I thought you'd be the only love I'd ever have but look, I found it again! It hurt to lose you,, but I found love without you. But you... I'll never have you again. So let me have you. As a friend. Different, not less.

Taagnus, not as endgame, but as a memory.
