Ravin’ Girls Ep.4: No Object Permanence
Episode Summary:
Welcome to Episode 4, where we cover Chapters 12-14 of The Raven Boys!
So, who’s a socially awkward shitbird? Well, all of the characters, really, but Whelk in particular. In this episode we discuss Ronan and Gansey as old marrieds, Whelk being a genuinely distasteful human, how no one in the town of Henrietta seems to possess object permanence, and how sometimes your first instincts to help a situation are the wrong ones.
