“Gansey had always felt as if there were two of him: the Gansey who was in control, able to handle any situation, able to talk to anyone, and then, the other, more fragile Gansey, strung out and unsure, embarrassingly earnest, driven by naive longing.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

wanting to live, but accepting death to save others: that was courage.
that was to be gansey’s greatness.

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)

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,“ Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love… or you killed him.”
