Thoughts on how Gansey is connected to Glendower

Adam was struck, as he occasionally was, by Gansey’s agelessness: an old man in a young body, or a young man in an old man’s life.

And it’s not only Adam who notices that. I think he’s closer to Glendower than we all think he is. Is he somehow Glendower or how the hell is he connected to him? Or is it just because he died on the ley line 7 years ago?

Your know, no coincidences.

I wonder about this as well.
Is it just part of his character? Is because he had that experience and it made him grow up faster?
It's possible there's some kind of connection to Glendower already. What also struck me was how everyone's vision centred around Gansey and probably his death, but Gansey saw Glendower.

I honestly would be kind of disappointed if it's just because he's been hunting down Glendower for so long and I don't think it is. There's just too many hints. Also there's the Camaro wheel in the lake. All this time line things are confusing me so much, lol.

Exactly! His vision is Glendower (which didn't surprise me) and everyone else just sees him dying - no coincidence, right?

Oh, definitely! It would be a bit of a let down if there isn't a deeper meaning behind it after it's mentioned so often.
Yeah, same here. Non-linear time gives me a bit of a headache, lol.

It can't be! Although I'm also still confused whether the visions shows something that's going to happen or something that might happen and everyone is afraid of.

Exactly! Ugh is it April yet? I'M DONE WAITING!! Also can I just take a sick leave for the rest of the week when the book comes out? ;)

IKR? I'm wondering about that too, cause Adam is convinced he changed his future/the vision and I'm just very much afraid he didn't ;___;

April needs to hurry the fuck up! YES! I definitely vote YES!

Yeah, there are far too many questions about these visions. I really hope he did though, anything else would be torture! ;____;

(also I just had the strongest nostalgia attack about Gisela!Bradders, lol. I love him so!)

RE: Re: Thoughts on how Gansey is connected to - SPOILERS

At least let Adam think he did, for his sake. Poor thing.

(I MISS HIM ;___; My little Gisela!)
(LJ won't let me use that icon anymore lol, I gotta get around deleting but, too lazy for that.)

Yeah, he feels bad enough about himself as it is!

(ME TOO! ;___; I can't wait to have him back on our screens.
Yeah, it was a pain to go back to only 15 and work out which ones to delete because there were so many!)
