So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

The foxes finding out about andrews scars

Nicky

Neil, Nicky and Andrew are at the table at Eden’s while Kevin and Aaron are dancing

It’s really warm, so Andrew rolls up his sleeves, but his armbands move up just a bit with them and a few are visible

Nicky sees this and before he can even think about what he’s saying, he asks Andrew what the scars are from, but he only gets a glare in response

Later that night, when Andrew is making a coffee in the kitchen of the house, Nicky walks in

Andrew tells him

Andrew tells him about what he lived through, what he survived and what he has overcome

Because it’s something he doesn’t want to hide from his cousin

Kevin

When Kevin and Andrew first made their deal and Kevin told Andrew the truth about what he endured at ravens nest

Andrew felt it only right that he share a little truth about himself, and since admitting to murdering his mother seemed a bit too much, he showed Kevin his scars

He took his armbands off in front of someone else except Abby for the first time in ages

And he felt just a little bit more confident about them because Kevin didn’t flinch, didn’t call them ugly or ask why. He just understood

Aaron

Andrew cooked a meal for him, Aaron and Nicky at the house after a shower

So Andrew only had a tshirt and hoodie on, no armbands

It gets really warm, even after opening all the windows so Andrew takes his hoodie off, forgetting he left his armbands in his room

Aaron is in the kitchen with him and asks about the scars, but not the usual questions like “what are they from?” Or “why would you do that to yourself?” No. Aaron says “please tell me if it ever gets that bad again”

Andrew agrees to, and he does

Once

And Aaron helps him through it and suggests sparring with someone, which is how him and Renee became such good friends

The upperclassmen

I like to think they all find out at the same time (except Renee, who Andrew told because they’re friends and he tells her everything)

On Andrew, Aaron and Nickys graduation day, all the original foxes are there for them and after, they have their own little party

Aaron doesn’t stay long and instead goes out with all the cheerleaders and Katelyn

But Andrew decides that it’s time they knew

He knows they’ve all become pretty close since baltimore and it was time

So he showed them a truth it was about time they knew

He took off his armbands in the room they hijacked

And everyone knew

But Matt was the one who silenced any questions Dan and Allison had, because Matt had been there himself

Matt understood why Andrew was showing them, why Andrew did it in the first place and why it took him so long to tell them

[randomness-in-daily-life]

I got rule of wolves today but I’ve got like six pieces of homework due in tomorrow so I can’t start reading it now and I’m sad but it’s SO PRETTY

[randomness-in-daily-life]

Yet another aftg shitpost but here we go:

Neil dislocated his shoulder during a game, so is in a&e when the nurse tells him he called his emergency contact

Neils never had an emergency contact, and doesn’t remember writing one down on the form so is really confused

Until andrew shows up, wymack in tow with Kevin and Matt behind him

Apparently they all wrote themselves as his emergency contacts (don’t come at me, idk how many you can have)

In that moment neil feels loved, truly loved by family and not just Andrew, for the first time since Baltimore

He springs up and goes to hug them all but then realised after screaming from the pain that noones popped his shoulder back in

Andrew rolls his eyes as wymack and Matt look concerned for him and Kevin asks “can you play?”

It’s kind of their thing

Idk I need some Kevin and Neil appreciation in my life

When neils released, they all go to get ice cream and find Dan and Abby on the way

Idk when this is, maybe neils second year at psu? Third? Of course Matt and Kevin would travel back if they had to

[randomness-in-daily-life]

Kevin, deadpan: i don’t have a death wish

neil josten says “ooo you wanna kiss me so bad” in the middle of arguments with andrew

[randomness-in-daily-life]

Wymack drags the foxes to London because why not and Neil spends an hour there and his British accent is back in full.

Andrew just melts

and the rest of the foxes, wymack and Abby are staring at him like: what the fuck.

Allison is staring at him and asking him to say certain things which makes Andrew melt just a bit more

[randomness-in-daily-life]

What if when Neil is team captain and in his second to last year, some freshmen arrive and he’s asking them questions like “where are you from?” even though he doesn’t really need to know but why not and someone replies saying they’re from Baltimore... He likes to freak people out so he’s like “oh so you’ve heard of the Baltimore butcher? Yeah that’s my dad” and he’s never seen a bunch of people look so scared and nervous as he did in that moment

[randomness-in-daily-life]

I have this hc that once all the foxes have left, wymack retires their numbers. So no more #10s or #2s. Just. They’re their numbers. No one elses

I found a petition on the UK parliamentary website so please could people sign? Definitely worth it

[randomness-in-daily-life]

during the height of the minyard-josten rivalry, a tiktok account is made titled “andrewminyardshusband”

At first it’s believed to be a stan account or something similar, since all they do is post clips from his games and interviews, half the time zoomed in on his arms with a ridiculous commentary dubbed over it

No one knows who makes the videos, mainly because they always use voice filters

But then the account starts posting videos of andrew?? Like at home?? And they’re not like reposted Instagram stories, it really seems that this person is living with andrew

(these videos coincidentally start posting around the same time that neil josten joins andrews team)

Even weirder, they actually seem to be andrews husband, which astounds literally everyone because how did no one know about this???

The account blows up, obviously. Like, millions of followers, gets verified, the whole shebang

And it isn’t always Andrew, half the time it’s videos of their cats doing cat things (he tried out the tinfoil thing to get them to stop jumping on the counters and eating his sandwiches, king got so scared by it that she hid on top of the fridge for an hour. Meanwhile, sir didn’t give a single fuck and layed down directly on the tinfoil)

The account’s most viewed video is of a slow zoom of andrews biceps with the careless whisper intro played over it

He starts answering questions in the comments while pointing the camera at andrew

“‘How did we get our cats?’ we found them in a dumpster. As far as we can tell they were raised together and fell in love. I’m 99% sure they’re lesbians”

“’why does andrew wear armbands?’ because his forearms are too powerful to be viewed by the general public” *the video is a slow zoom up to andrew’s glare*

“‘are you and andrew actually married?’ yes. fuck you.” (andrew flips off the camera with his left hand) “wrong finger, dumbass”

“‘how did you two get together?’ he threatened to kill me and I thought that was hot"

“’can you two kiss?’ like, physically? yeah. right now though? i dunno, i’m comfortable sitting on this table and andrew is all the way over on the couch”

“’whats your opinion on neil josten and the whole rivalry he has with Andrew, especially after he joined his team?’ I really don’t give a single fuck and neither does andrew”

“Have you met neil josten?” is one of the questions he gets asked and no one knows why he’s laughing so hard or why andrew rolls his eyes when he answers with “yeah he’s pretty cool”

Sometimes the other foxes make appearances in the videos, like Renee baking in their kitchen while Andrew is filching cookie dough or Nicky, Aaron, and Andrew all sitting on the floor and feeding the cats catnip.

the speculation on who andrew minyard’s husband is is astronomical. it grows beyond the exy sphere and practically every comment is “who is this guy??”

People keep asking but all he answers with is “I’m andrews husband, can y'all read?”

People ask the other foxes (who don’t say shit cause why would they), comb through their social medias to see if he’s in any pictures or videos

It is then believed that andrews husband has to be one of the foxes from Andrew’s sophomore year, and due to half of them being related to him, one being married, and one being neil josten, it is then believed that andrews husband is Kevin

At least it is until the account posts a video of kevin being asked “thoughts on being andrews husband?” “like of you being his husband?” “no, you being his husband.” “what?? Ew, no, gross” “I cant tell if that’s more insulting to Andrew or to me”

So everyone is back to square one

Until

Until

there’s a new video on the account

And it’s of andrew on the couch reading a book and he gets asked “what’s it like having me as your husband?” but!!! There’s no voice filter?? And it sounds vaguely familiar, like they’ve heard it before?? And he wasn’t even answering a commenter question. and then Andrew grabs the phone and turns it to show neil josten, neil josten!!! sitting on the other side of the couch in a bright orange sweatshirt and a smirk while Andrew says “fucking infuriating”

Needless to say, all four million followers implode upon seeing it

Keep reading

Okay so we know how pipers dad is a world famous actor, and they probably go to red carpets together.

Piper brings a different pet to each red carpet

Each one is called a different variation of frank

Do you think annabeth used Daedalus’ laptop when she went to college? And loads of people kept asking her where she got it because it’s so much better than theirs. She just has to explain that her uncle built it and gave it to her

I really need to stop before this account becomes an aftg fan account but:

Neil has PTSD, not as severe as some but it’s still a problem for him.

He’s kinda claustrophobic, especially if he’s not alone

He seriously does not trust police

Of any kind

In his third year at psu, he has to give the police a statement about a burglary in his room, and he absolutely refuses to talk to them. Robin has to tell them neils story because he will not speak to them

He has panic attacks sometimes, and only Andrew and Kevin can calm him down

Andrew because, well, obviously

But Kevin because Kevin can relate to some of the things neil has been through. Kevin’s abuse wasn’t as severe because he still was in the public often but it was still there

Aaron could probably also help neil, but he’s never tried

Matt takes care of neil when he needs it because Matt became his big brother and will hurt you if you hurt neil

Once in a while, someone calls neil Nathaniel, or wesninski, or says something like “you look so much like your father” and Neil has an existential crisis right there

Andrew glares at the person who said it with a murderous intent

Neil then has a panic attack anywhere private as soon as he’s alone

Andrew learns what neils triggers are and does all he can to help his junkie avoid them

Neil speaks to Betsy one time at the compulsory meeting and Betsy us so concerned for Neil that she asks him to come back the following week

He tries to skip but Andrew physically drives him and makes sure he gets there

It helps a little

When Andrew leaves psu, Robin has to learn to help Neil even if he won’t tell her about his scars

I’m watching NCIS and Richard Parsons is investigating Gibbs and the team, but when he shows up later on, isn’t he called Jim Parsons?
