kevin day is too iconic of a character like wdym he escaped a cult and people call him queen and he's the best exy player in the world. AND he's a bitch (affectionate). of course his story needs to bookend the whole series. He's Been Here The Whole Time.

>>> the perfect court the foxhole court the raven king the king's men the sunshine court the golden raven the broken cage >>> the queen's game

when I first read aftg, there was only the original trilogy and I had never even expected the release of other books, so it happened. but now there will be a kevin day book. I couldn't be happier

But even more importantly, there is nothing to suggest that such a relationship ever existed in the first place, and as such, those queer readings are not only misguided, but also libelous” (197).

thanks for waking up man me and yeon sieun love you

Something that doesn't leave my mind when I think about weak hero class is how beomseok doesn't suffer any consequences for his actions. He messed up suho's bike, causing him to have an accident. He paid for them to hit him. He beat him up when he had already down. He basically put suho in a coma. And in the end, there are no legal consequences

[clarj]

two found father dead in such a short time apart is enough

[clarj]

‘It was the Hell you’d feared in childhood, come to devour the children. It was treading over the corpses of your friends so that you might be killed yourself. It was the congealed evil of a century.’

Kevin Day, history student

[clarj]

re-reading aftg and I'm disgusted by nicky. It's been a while since I read it, so I had forgotten how disgusting he was. I remembered that he kissed neil non-consensually in eden twilight when he was drugged, but I didn't remember the other things. He's such an uncomfortable character to read about. Seriously, he talks about getting kevin drunk to make him forget he's straight. I don't know if people know this, but getting someone drunk to have sex with them is rape

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem

Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
