I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else point this out but Mary liked exy too. In like chapter three of tfc, Neil is remembering the little league games that she took him too, and she says that it was THE ONLY TIME HE REMEMBERED SEEING HER SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does no one talk about this???? Why does no talk about the fact that the only reason Neil loves exy, and loved it as a kid was because Mary encouraged it. Look, I get it, the little league games were training for his Edgar Allen audition. But if that was all it was, she wouldn’t clap and cheer in the stands. She wouldn’t have SMILED.

Idk, this little detail is so telling to me, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone bring it up ever.

Mind you, this was my first time opening tumblr in idk how long and this was the first post I see. Weeks late to the function and I’ve missed so much. 😭

When I tell you I’m so heated that I disappeared from most social media for the last few months and missed this update???!!! 😭

Foaming at the mouth for each next book. And these titles? I’m not going to make it. The wait is going to be the end of me. 😫

the beauty of andrew and neil's "what will you take?" / "what will you give me?" is that yes it's 'i won't ask for anything more than what you're willing to give', obviously that's a huge part of it, but equally so it's saying 'and what you do give, i will take.' give your back to me. put the weight of your trust on my shoulders and i will bear it. if you show me your worst parts, i won't flinch. i won't buckle. i won't run from you. it's both sides of that trust, coming from both of them. neil never touches andrew until he's given permission, and andrew never forces neil to give him any truths. neil learns about drake and the others, and he doesn't see andrew differently. andrew finds out about neil's father and his past and doesn't change his deal. between the two of them, it isn't just about giving but taking as well.

It only felt like it took forever. But I have finally finished The Golden Raven. And I feel like I’m going clinically insane. God it was so good and devastating. And I’m so anxious about what more she’ll do to us in the third book. And I so desperately need a few chapters at some point in Neil’s pov so I can know what the fuck is going on over there. God.

Kevin getting assertive and a little aggressive towards a reporter. Who would’ve guessed it.

Immediately picking up on what must’ve happened and then questioning why. Oh man. He’s so concerned for Neil.

jean describing neil as "that malfunctioning cretin that existed to cause trouble for everyone in a thousand-mile radius" might be my new favorite way jean calls neil yet lmaoooo

TGR SPOILERS

You’re telling me that Neil didn’t tell Andrew he was going to see Jean??? That he ordered a hit against Grayson?!!

I neeeed to know Kevin’s, Andrew’s and Neil’s perspective of every part of this cause what do you meannn. I love him so much.

And of course any new information about Neil will catch Andrew’s attention. I can’t believe we’ve gotten him to speak twice in already.

TGR SPOILERS

Andrew in California??!! Especially so close after the trial? I could just cry.

[foxholecore]

The fact that Jean trusts Neil without question 🫶😭

[foxholecore]

Jean’s trust in people, when he chooses to trust, will never not shatter me.

[foxholecore]

Neil Josten, your influence on Jean Moreau will always be famous.

"that doesn't mean i wouldn't blow you" is an iconic confession for a lot of reasons but i love that andrew obviously picked his wording so so carefully there to avoid admitting any feelings involved and then neil's demisexual ass just totally bypasses that and he responds saying "you like me." WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT ANDREW WAS TRYING TO AVOID ADMITTING.

The hyper fixation on anything AFTG has been on the back burner for more than half a year because of 9-1-1. Now TGR is out so it’s about to take precedence but it’s such unfortunate timing since S8b of 9-1-1 starts in 15 days.

I have my copy. I went to sleep early for this and woke up minutes before it was available. And yet, I’m so annoyed that I’m still too sleepy to stay awake and read TGR. I can try, but I’m just going to keep dropping my kindle as I dose off. And I feel like is a very unfair development.
