letterstonowhereall of them having a personal connection to cabeswater:
gansey: finding cabeswater is what makes him realize that the glendower search might actually be something big and his work and research hasn't gone to waste
blue: living as a non-psychic surrounded by psychics for her entire life, all she's wanted is to be able to actually see magic for herself, and cabeswater and the ley line is where that happens
adam: he makes the sacrifice to connect to cabeswater and it becomes intertwined with his very being from then on, even after cabeswater sacrifices itself for gansey he still can feel it faintly inside him
ronan: he built cabeswater, a physical manifestation of the power his dreaming truly has and a place he vows to rebuild and protect
some random favorite scenes that have stuck with me:
- the first and second pynch kisses and adam's convo with gansey about it. the line about all the objects of ronan's worship being under one roof GOD
- henry pulling up to blue's school, them having a theatrical argument so as not to compromise her principles, and then gansey pulling up a minute later and of course she has to get in the car
- the raven day festivities with gansey surrounded by all the makeshift ravens
- declan driving four hours to henrietta every sunday morning for church with his brothers
- adam adding the bass boosted drums to their little cabeswater nature song and everyone immediately going "ugh ronan" and then him smirking over at ronan when ronan says it wasn't him
- blue dreaming of the stars and her conversation with artemus the tree and her realizing that there's a reason why she's always felt torn between two worlds
- President Cell Phone <3
- gansey only wearing his wireframe glasses at night when he's more vulnerable and exhausted and anxious
- noah stepping through and around time and whispering the line to gansey when the wasps attack him
- ronan admitting that he's gay because kavinsky asked and ronan never lies
- blue's secret phone calls to congress
- henry (i think) calling gansey-ronan-adam the president, congress, and supreme court
- all of blue's outfit descriptions i love her fits so much
- i saw a post about how unique and refreshing it is that adults and family plays such a big role in the series compared to other ya books at the time, where parents were often dead or simply not in the narrative at all. the women of 300 fox way play such an integral part to the story and they care so much about blue and the boys and henrietta. i love that they play such an active role in the story to the point where everyone is kinda a main character, not just the gangsey, and the pov of the book really helps everyone shine
