But I Am So Right About This And If You Disagree Simply Do Not Say Anything To Me Right Now - Tumblr Posts

I am redoing my annotations on trc and I cannot explain to you how important the initial description of Monmouth is to me and I’m going to explain that to you right now in great detail because that is what I do so strap in brothers

First off we learn that Monmouth was abandoned because whatever it created was “something that the world no longer needed.” Monmouth was abandoned because whatever was created inside of it was no longer needed but now it is inhabited by Richard Campbell Gansey III. Gansey is something that his friends and the world as a whole NEEDS. Monmouth Manufacturing is just another one of those things (like Noah) that is displaced to simply make room for Gansey and what he WILL do for other people and the world. The same way that Noah died so that Gansey could live, Monmouth shut down so that he would have a place to create everything that he does whether that is physical objects or simply a space for people. Monmouth is important to the entire gangsey because even if it isn’t where they live it is their home despite the fridge in the bathroom and the lack of habitable furniture

Secondly, “Gansey’s invented apartment was a dreamer’s laboratory.” Obviously that applies to Ronan, this is where he lives, where he creates, where he feels safe, as a dreamer but it also applies so fucking much to Gansey himself. Gansey has so many dreams both for himself and for his friends, he as a person just WANTS so much. There are books covering every surface and maps on the walls, telescopes and insomnia-fueled scaled down version of the town they live in. It is Gansey’s mind placed into a physical setting and a reflection of how much he craves everything around him. He wants to know about the ley lines, and Glendower, Cabeswater, and Ronan’s abilities, and anything he can get his hands on because he has such a deep seated need to know things. He dreams of what will happen when he finally does know these things and how the people around him will be affected by that. He dreams of what Ronan could do and the type of person he could become if he recovers from the trauma of his father’s murder, he dreams of Adam completing all his goals in life without the restrictions of money, of Blue doing whatever it is that she wants to do in life, and he dreams that he can be a part of all of these things. Ronan is a dreamer in the way that he can make things from his dreams real, but Gansey is a dreamer in the way that he so desperately wants his dreams to come true
