I completely agree with the "oh I should make the endgame ships happen now" idea. I've never felt that any of the relationships were well developed. It's like she got mostly through the series and realized she had endgame relationships that had to be shoved in even if they hadn't been implied before. While reading Blue Lily I actually had to stop and think if I saw signs of Ronan and Adam before since Dream Thieves was so heavily Ronsey.
Gansey does die and Ronan does something. It's complicated. LOL
I don't dislike Adam and Ronan either but their relationship seems very forced. I agree about the 'not fighting Ronan's demons for him'. Adam's more 'be your own person' and 'fight your own battles'. I think that was supposed to be a contrast between them since Gansey is always fighting Ronan's demons. In a way, he's Ronan's white knight. There's a scene later that Adam compares Gansey to a knight. Probably to Adam this seems unhealthy. It probably is since Ronan and Gansey are very codependent. But I think it shows how deep their feelings are too. Which isn't something I really get from Adam and Ronan. They say they have deep feelings and we're told that through the narration, but Gansey and Ronan show us that through their actions. I won't give too many spoilers, but Gansey will fight Ronan's demons again. Which makes it more frustrating to me that they don't end up together.
I love Gansey and Ronan's relationship in relation to the Pig. When Ronan's with the Pig while Gansey's in DC... Thinking that if he touches the Pig, Gansey will feel it. Home being Ronan and the Pig. Ronan risking everything, including his life, to bring the Pig back. There was so much potential. Then it feels like Ronan completely forgot Gansey in Blue Lily. He has the Barns back so he doesn't need Gansey. (That's actually a concept I'm writing fic about.)
I really get the impression that Gansey and K are romantic foils. K shows Ronan how to dream the Pig, then Ronan leaves him to give the Pig back. It feels so much like a breakup. The whole scene when Ronan leaves with the Pig screams breakup. It seems like Ronan's leaving the 'other woman' to go back to his steady relationship. K is the scornful lover kidnapping Matthew to get back at Ronan for picking Gansey. I get the feeling that Gansey is probably jealous of the time Ronan spends with K. I think he worries K is going to get him in trouble or killed, but I could easily see him frustrated by the time Ronan spends out at night. (But never acknowledging that it's jealousy unless pushed.)
I love the musings. I rarely get to talk Ronsey in depth with people.
Let's start with the substance party. I skimmed over it last night and I can reread it later today.
