Week 11- HOW DARE YOU, SIR

I know we didn't need to do a blog this week, but I finished The Raven Boys and I need to rant to you for a sec. So I was right about the “getting sucked into a spiral” thing, because I need to finish this story. Also, I had a sneaking suspicion, but NOAH IS A FREAKING GHOST. Yeah, hi. I love you, now stop being dead. Oh, and plot twist, Noah was the one who got sacrificed by Whelk. Cool, good to know. I'll just come over here and sob.

And then there's the reason I decided to write this in the first place. You remember how much I love Adam, the precious, adorable, sweet, quiet, marshmallow of a boy? HIS DAD HIT HIM. REPEATEDLY. His dad was BEATING him. NO! IT'S TIME TO STOP! PLEASE, JUST STOP! His dad hit him so hard, he fell onto some stairs and LOST THE HEARING IN HIS LEFT EAR. Adam's dad, you know what? You are dead. Get down before I force you down. I am going to murder you. I AM GOING TO STRAIGHT UP MURDER YOU. HOW DARE YOU, SIR. You have the sweetest son in the history of the world and you MAIM HIM WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, excuse my French, but STOP. And then dear, dear Ronan came in and PUNCHED ADAM'S DAD RIGHT BACK YOU GO BABY BOY YEAH! BEAT HIM UP! RIGHT HOOK! UPPERCUT! Sorry, I'm just excited he did exactly what I wanted to do in that moment. My poor baby is deaf in one ear now because of that man and I will NEVER FORGIVE HIM.

Anyways, Adam kinda sacrificed himself to wake the ley line, only he didn't actually die, and he went crazy for a few minutes and killed Whelk, but honestly who cares? Whelk killed Noah, who is also pretty precious and sweet, so I'm gonna let our marshmallow off the hook for this one. Plus, he didn't technically kill Whelk, he just didn't save him from getting trampled. So does it really count? Not if Adam did it, that's for sure.

And I have a confession to make… I did some rough sketchy fan art. Whoops. That's how you know I enjoyed the book: not only did I want to draw the characters, I came up with basic designs for them. And can you see HOW CUTE ADAM IS? I wasn't even trying and he just came out that way. And his ear is shaded because they mentioned his ear is slightly red now because of the BASHING HIS FATHER GAVE HIM and because he's now DEAF IN THAT EAR. Just wanted to be accurate, which is why I redrew Ronan when I read that he had a shaved head after I'd finished drawing him with hair. Anyways, here it is! Have fun with these.
