adam is so spectacular because. well
he is with his friends 50% of the time, working the other 30%, studying for about 20% of the time (sleeping never) but is still top of his class in everything. as soon as he moves to harvard he collects a group of sad gays and lies to them about his whole life and then scams rich students into fake tarot readings despite being an actual psychic. he can do so much as place a fist on a wall when he’s mad because he can’t be like his father, but he’s forgiving and he asks for one last chance to build a relationship with them until he leaves for college, and when they refuse he goes on his merry way. when he loses control of his hands gansey can’t even imagine stopping him almost kill them all because, well, he’s adam. he quietly turns eighteen and he confronts weird men and he helps a sentient forest kill a man and he’s worked his whole life for the chance to leave his childhood house, so doesn’t accept offers, even if they are free and better than what he can afford. he knows gansey’s number off by heart and instinctually calls him when he is found passed out on the side of the road. he is just wonderful
