friendly reminder that richard campbell gansey iii is a teenager who is suffering the aftereffects of an extremely traumatic event (read: his actual death and resurrection), but he doesn’t think he has the right to lean on his best friends for emotional support because his family has a lot of money and so he’s “had it the easiest”
#you will never catch me saying that gansey isn’t flawed#and one of those flaws is definitely his privilege-born classism#but god i’ve never seen a character so aware of his own privilege that it becomes his tragedy#gansey is so desperate to be seen as a person and not a trust fund#and he does that by trying his best to be there for his friends in any way they need him#but he doesn’t ask them to be there for him because he really genuinely believes that they shouldn’t have to#because he’s had it the easiest#i will protect richard campbell gansey iii until my dying day (via helensgansey)
Richard Gansey III
(for this sweetheart: odvsseys)
- Gansey: You already wrote my eulogy?
- Ronan Lynch: I don't remember that.
- Gansey: [reads] 'Dick Gansey is survived by his best friend, Ronan Lynch, and twelve ravens.'
At the moment, that particular boy, Richard Campbell Gansey III, looked pretty unkillable. In the humid wind at the top of the wide green hill, an ardently yellow polo shirt flapped against his chest and a pair of khaki shorts slapped his gloriously tanned legs.
Boys like him didn’t die; they got bronzed and installed outside public libraries.
before i read trc i didn’t think gansey was a kid like the rest of them because i’d see the name gansey and think it was an old man’s name so i figured he was someone’s dad or something and as it turns out, i was not wrong
Onward and Upward
- me starting the raven boys: oh lol she sees some dead kid on the corpse road then theyre going to fall in love of course arent they haha lmao
- me now: organizes a worldwide #savegansey campaign, cancels all future life plans to work on keeping gansey alive, prays for gansey's soul, hands out pamphlets on street corners, cries to sleep every night
remember when gansey didn’t get his mom a birthday present because he himself was the gift????
imagine him trying to pull that shit on blue
#do you think he does this in other areas of life #’gansey you’re blocking the view’ ‘i am the view’ (via auroralynches)
#gansey went to some art gallery with his family while visiting them and blue asked him if he could snapchat her some of the paintings #what she gets is a selfie of gansey with a caption: ‘i’m art’ + winky face #blue is furious
