helensgansey:

one of my admittedly many favorite things about gansey is that in theory he’s this old money, dignified, highbrow intellectual and passionate researcher into the unknown

but in practice he’s an awkward teenager who wears terrible boat shoes and can’t hold a conversation without talking about magic and thinks about how he’s indirectly making out with blue when he eats yogurt with the same spoon she used

let’s talk about what an Actual Loser richard campbell gansey iii is:

• he has like 5 friends even though he’s active and well-known at school. he somehow managed to become captain of the rowing team without actually making friends with anyone on the rowing team. what the fuck gansey
  
• he was on the rowing team which means his sleep schedule is ridiculous and he wore tight spandex once a day every day for a year
• he literally has a reputation among the teachers and staff at aglionby for never shutting the fuck up about glendower and ley lines and w/e
• he has literally flown them but still doesn’t understand how helicopters are different from cars
• he makes his sister stop her helicopter in the middle of the fucking woods on private property so he can go check out a raven but can’t be bothered to get out of the car to go into whole foods with her
• he literally dresses like a suburban dad at a barbecue. who the fuck else wears polo shirts with cargo pants. come on gansey
• his best friends are a really judgmental magic waitress, a pop punk ghost, a genius-slash-supermodel-future president of earth with self-esteem issues, an angry gay irish street racing farmer, and an 80something british professor who loves pigeons like how do you even find these people gansey
• he drives an impractical car, lives in an impractical abandoned warehouse, and keeps an impractical journal just for the #aesthetic

i love him so much this tiny dad. small child. protect
