Hi! Thanks for the tag @apocketfullofhobbits

I'll tag @insomnia-productions , @cabeswatercowboy, @redxluna , and @ramonadecember

Here's my Songs:

1. Daisy by Ashnikko ;; I just think her music is fun :)

2. MANIAC by Stray Kids ;; I got obsessed with that one viral part of chk chk boom and then listened to their other songs, all of which but especially this one became ear worms for me for months.

3. Hot Tea by Half*Alive ;; My little sister showed me this song

4. 26 by Caamp ;; Heard this on the Into the Wild soundtrack i think and added it to last years playlist for my train ride to my first seasonal/company town/Park job (it's the first song on the playlist.)

5. Don't Know Who I Am by Rebecca Roubion ;; I put this on a playlist that was specifically made for driving down Skyline Drive when I lived in Virginia

6. Let's Go by Key Glock ;; The opening lyrics of this song live rent free in my head. The background vocals put me unwillingly into that grindset mindset lmao.

7. Just Kidding by Waterparks ;; no comment ^^;

8. Consistent by No/Me ;; the vocals and the instrumentals on this song + the lyrics? *chefs kiss*

9. Wild One by Jessie Murph ft. Jelly Roll;; Not going to lie: I restart the song so I don't have to hear Jelly Roll 90% of the time. Also: this is Rovinsky to me. Also: one of those songs I used to drive around aimlessly to last summer.

10. Jimmy the Chameleon by Brookside ;; yet another one from the train ride play list.

Neil’s also hopeless with IKEA instructions

Something something thinking about the extra content where Andrew asks Neil to live together by telling him that "if he wants more than two chairs and a bed" he needs to think about all the furniture himself. Neil taking the job pretty seriously because due to his life on the run he now associates material possession with stability and he really wants to make sure this feels like a forever home and that he's not going anywhere, for once.

Neil ending up buying a bunch of stuff that he doesn't know how to build (never built furniture in his life) and Waymack coming in clutch to help, having a bonding moment with his now-fully-functional-grown-adult kid that almost died a few times and went against the fking mafia being like "what do you MEAN you don't know how to use a damn screwdriver?!!"

[lilysstar]

Andrew Minyard has a beautiful brain and is quite the comedian, as we can all read in the books ('is your learning curve a horizontal line?'). So I introduce to you the headcanon that during movie nights Andrew will whisper all kinds of commentary in Neil's ear, and Neil regularly dissolves in giggles or straight up laughter and everybody is so confused because the scene wasn't even that funny? Is Neil hearing voices? Stoic Andrew Minyard cannot possibly be that funny right? Neil just waves them off and tries to hold his laughter in. Andrew, btw, is very smug about the fact he can make Neil laugh like that.

[lilysstar]

Serotonin by Girl in Red is SO Andrew Minyard coded

“I’m running low on serotonin

Chemical imbalance got me twisting thing

Stabilise with medicine

There’s no depth to these feeling”

ANDREW ANDREW ANDREW

And there’s SO MUCH MORE ANDREW

[lilysstar]

Aaron Minyard is so relatable bc I too would unalive my brother’s r-pist

[lilysstar]

Speak very slowly and sound threatening like you’re explaining how you’re gonna unalive someone to them??

Idk but that might work 🤷‍♀️

Ok guys for my theater project we're allowed to do a monologue from and about whatever we want. The only requirement is that is has to be a monologue and at least 1:30 seconds long.

I REALLY wanna do "you know I get it" but even with pausing and talking slowly I could only make it last a minute. Any ideas of how to make it longer?

[lilysstar]

Best head canon!!!

C'mon big brother Kevin and Little Brother Neil :(

[lilysstar]

READ THIS!! IT’S SO GOOD AND WILL FUCK WITH YOUR BRAIN OMG

Basically, Neil has schizophrenia and Andrew takes care of him after an episode

“I had a pretty good childhood” WHAT IF I KILLED MYSELF

READ THIS I PROMISE IT WILL BE WORTH IT

(I did not write this so go give the author, Eva_Blu on ao3, some love)

[lilysstar]

The problem with liking aftg an insane amount is that the first time you read the books Andrew in the end can be seen has a hard guy with some soft spots, but then you read the extra content, and all the insanely well written character analysis, and then you read it again, and again, and again, you see the heartbreaking reality that Andrew is an extremely soft man who had to act hard to survive.

[lilysstar]

An idea I love is when the Foxes become a more well-respected team in the league, Wymack starts talking to them about being “role models” and that they have all these young fans now who look up to them. And Neil is just horrified.

Then the Exy league organises this like, pre-game warm up meet and greet thing where they do some drills and games with the kids of the local teams in the area.

Everyone expects to have to keep Andrew away from the kids but he’s actually fantastic with them. He’s blunt and honest but he does try very hard and they absolutely love him.

Neil spends the entire time running away from the children and hiding behind Wymack (he tried hiding behind Andrew but Andrew was actually getting along with the little demons)

Kevin hates it but the kids LOVE him, they think it’s hilarious how grumpy and angry he gets and they keep falling over themselves laughing anytime he yells. They keep asking him to “do the grumpy voice” he starts yelling in French and they think it’s just about the funniest thing that’s ever happened.

Dan and Renee are keeping the whole thing on track, actually running through the drills and teaching the kids with endless patience. Dan has a little mini me girl who’s like 10 and the captain of her team and just wants to be Dan so bad so Dan gives her a whistle and she’s just shadowing her all day, blowing her whistle whenever Dan tries to get someone’s attention.

Aaron and Allison hang back and only very reluctantly interact with the children.

Matt is the equivalent of a climbing gym. He has about 4 children hanging off various limbs at any given time and a little 6 year old has taken up permanent residence on his shoulders.

Nicky loooves it and teaches the kids all of bad words and gets them to play pranks on Kevin- which results in Kevin yelling at him and he and the kids falling over laughing.

One child seems to be really isolated and quiet. Neil sits with this kid so Wymack will stop yelling at him to get involved. They don’t talk at all but Neil gives the kid some gum and the kid manages a little smile.

[lilysstar]

My aftg playlist is so random. One song is just like “yeah, they’d play this in Eden’s” and I’m vibing and then it hits me with Family line by Conan Gray

[lilysstar]

Neil sleeps for a week and Andrew threatens anyone who tries to disturb him (which is mostly Kevin who wants to play exy)

hc that immediately after the events of the trilogy neil crashes so hard. from christmas onwards his body has been abused and in various stages of healing and he is running through it all on adrenaline. this boy wins the championship and secures his safety and i bet just turns off.

there's no nathan or riko to be running from. the season is over, he has his trophy. there is nothing immediately pressing that concerns his performance on the court or his/andrew's/the team's safety and his body finally gets to come out of fight or flight and man is he fucking tired.

[lilysstar]

I don’t want to say it but it reminds me low-key of DFODAF IM SORRY (that fic KILLED me)

Neil is willing to kill for Jean, having only been his partner at the Nest for three weeks. Can you imagine if they had grown up together?

Also I can't get over the thought of Nathaniel comforting Jean whose pining for Kevin.

And that because they both grew up so unloved and uncared for they always use terms of endearment and hug a lot (they still snark each other, of course). They are the most important person to the other.

Imagine if they got rescued by the Foxes and the headache Wymack, Betsy and Abby have trying to coax them out of their codependency. Lol good luck.

Wymack: maybe go for a walk Jean

Jean: ok I'll get Nate

Wymack: or you could go by yourself?

*Jean and Nate start screaming like they're being murdered*

[lilysstar]

And then the guy who flirted with Aaron’s gf is just at Aaron and Katelyn’s wedding

And he’s suspiciously close with Aaron’s brother

the year before neil and andrew are on the same team, neil's team plays in the city where katelyn and aaron live, and they go see neil's game (katelyn insists). they have amazing seats (neil insists). during warm ups, neil saunters over closest to where they're sitting and waves happily at katelyn (who gleefully waves back) before he flips off aaron, and then neil is gone. aaron's med school friends are like wtf.

[lilysstar]

You know what’s kinda crazy

Neil Josten is older than Taylor Swift…

Aftg is set around the same time Taylor’s debut album came out. Imagine Nicky playing Picture to Burn in the dorm annoying everyone bc he won’t stop

[lilysstar]

No bc same

Monday was my 1 year anniversary of finishing the books for the first time and I binged them this weekend and I’m still just as obsessed as I was

the really great thing about all for the game is that you can binge it all in two days and then never stop thinking about it
