Adam was not always alone, but he was always lonesome. Even in a group, he was slowly perfecting the skill of holding himself separate. It was easier than one might expect; the others allowed him to do it. He knew he was different since aligning himself more tightly with the ley line this summer. He was himself, but more powerful. Himself, but less human.

okay but consider adam parrish having such a strong bond with cabeswater that it has physical manifestations whenever he experiences any strong emotions 

  • adam blushing fiercely when Helen compliments him on his suit at one of ms gansey’s auctions, only to find a couple of wild violets tugged gently behind his ear
  • exhausted adam dosing off at his desk only to wake up later finding out that he accidentally grew himself a pillow of soft forest moss on his open latin textbook under his arms
  • adam getting feisty during a debate in literature class, and noticing thick green vines winding up dangerously around the legs of henry’s chair because godDAMmit cheng alice in wonderland is a metaphor for the abstract unruly world of modern mathematics developing during mid-19th century NOT about an acid trip
  • ronan and adam bickering at each other and adam getting angrier and angrier with every word without really meaning to bc he really does’t feel like getting into yet another fight and can he and ronan just stop being so difficult he is so tired and he just wants to go out for a drive with him or something then he gets distracted by the sudden silence and ronan staring at adam’s hands and when he opens up his clenched fists there is a small delicate pansy hiding between his fingers
  • blue laughing uncontrollably at gansey’s outfit when they go out for a picnic (a plaid jacket with a cotten vest is a perfectly reasonable choice for the chill of early spring air, JANE) and the sound of it makes adam burst into laughter which results in dandelion seeds falling all around the five of them washed in sunlight like magical rain 
  • adam’s stomach rumbling loudly because he ran out of money for dinner at the end of the month, only to find a large shiny red apple dangling of a thin branch in his closet
  • ronan kissing adam for the fist time at st agnes and adam accidentally turns his tiny shitty apartment into an actual improvised botany garden (fucking hell parrish there is an actual alive RABBIT hopping on your mattress way to be an actual disney princess with the forest animal kingdom stalking on your love life dam n SHut UP Lynch you brought a bird from a dream magical forest you are the one to talk)

this is the cutest thing yes please

adam is very serious and very driven and very introspective but he is also a geekass nerdbaby so let’s talk about that

  • literally our introduction to his friendship with ronan is that they’re both covered in scabs because they were dragging each other behind a moving car on one of these things
  • instead of trying to break up ronan & declan’s fight, he finds a bouncy ball with spongebob printed on it and hangs out in an alley playing with it
  • goes full on Notice Me Senpai the moment a hot teacher walks in. put your hand down, parrish
  • he is taking a SCIENTIFIC METHOD EXTRACURRICULAR. who does this. who
  • the transformer toy??? oh my god??
  • stares blankly at helen gansey when she asks if he wants to go into whole foods
  • that time he got stressed out and the narrative was saying “adam melted into the seat” and “adam slithered down even farther into the seat” son please
  • that time he absolutely lost his shit and started giggling and letting out helpless wails of laughter because of malory’s pigeon show
  • sees gansey looking at the aglionby dean and mouths “yee-haw” SHUT UP
  • when gansey decided he was going to wingman adam and adam covered his entire face and was So Embarrassed
  • his general attitude of “ronan lynch is an ASSHOLE who is HANDSOME and BEAUTIFUL and SUCH A DICK” that started literally with his first paragraph of narration
  • rmr when the kids brought gwenllian back to fox way and adam/ronan hid in the hallway like babyass cowards and then desperately scrambled out of the house at the first opportunity?
  • when ronan confessed that he’d dreamt cabeswater into being and adam is internally doing this 
  • “adam wanted desperately and masochistically for tad to ask him where he’d summered”
  • that time he slept for twenty-four hours and then woke up and drank an entire jug of pomegranate juice before leaving
  • that other time he slept all night and then woke up and ate two hamburger buns and drank all of ronan’s milk straight out of the jug
  • his helpless laughter when noah is like “u do have nice legs tho” and blue play-slaps both of them
  • flirting with his crush by using his psychic connection to a forest to make shitty EDM music play out in the open
  • smiling cheerily when his crush calls him an asshole
  • “the two-minute disparity aged him prematurely”

i am so here for this

  • when ronan comes to the garage to flirt with him very badly and adam is like “hmph! some of us have homework!”
  • in trk when maggie is describing how aurora talks to the kids about what interests them and for adam she asks him scientific and logical questions and he tries to get her to answer them too LIKE
  • the picture of an honest to god male model in his glove compartment
  • at fox way when he lays out all the tarot cards and spends ages studying each of them…. he is so scientific about everything he does my son
  • “other classmates complained about the work. work! work was the island adam swam to in a stormy sea.”
  • “shuffled his ambitiously laden messenger bag onto his other shoulder” what a nerdy phrase
  • when ronan called him einstein. he truly is
  • my favorite thing about the tarot cards at fox way is that he’s leaning on his elbows on the table and keeps shuffling around to keep looking at them? that’s so cute?
  • ronan also calls his science guy and i love it
  • i can’t believe i forgot this the first time but: LOOKING AT BLUE THROUGH THE LITTLE STONE WITH A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE; that entire scene is so sweet
