I think of this all the time
Especially when Gansey gets all in his head with the fact everyone else feels like they’re so far past him, and how he always feels he is somehow going to be left behind. Imagine having that insecurity not only become a reality but something so indisputable as DEATH.
even with Noah who is dead, Gansey never once lashes out to him/at him with that experience. Or tries to relate to him in way he would feel would minimize Noah’s own afterlife.
He never begs for things to be different, or as op says lashes out, he is so startling calm that even when he does die, it’s almost peaceful.
can we talk about gansey knowing he’s going to die???? bc there are so many angles on it. he never guilts ronan or any of his friends about it, there is no ‘for when i’m not around to sort out your messes speech’. he doesn’t assign any responsibility to anyone. there is no talk about taking care of ronan. none of his friends are tasked with sorting through his things. it could be argued that some of this is because of his security in his friends and their growth as people allowing them to care for one another but he doesn’t talk about it at all. he doesn’t even tell ronan. i don’t remember if he knows adam knows but i don’t think he does. for the entire series he’s accommodating the emotions and struggles and outbursts of everyone around him and when it comes to his death, he simply continues. he doesn’t trouble his friends who have their own problems or who may be upset by his oncoming death and just continues as he was.

ok, it's been a week since I finished reading 'the raven cycle', and I just found out that there iS 'THE DREAMER CYCLE'?????? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TOLD ME?????????????
ok, I just finished reading 'the raven cycle' and don't get me wrong, I'm completely obsessed with it, but I still don't get who was the person Adam said he felt like was following them in the first book. Was it Neeve?
it’s a raven cycle summer, i say as i lay rotting under a tree in the scorching heat with a coca cola bottle
I just finished the Raven boys and Oh what wouldn’t I give to live in a world where trees speak Latin, where boys keep ravens as pets, where magic exists, and where you can have roommates who are dead.
