#And neil would say sure

Neil would like The Neighbourhood. Like if they were a thing, during/after the series (I think the band started in 2011..?) But Neil is so The Neighbourhood coded to me.
I just feel like he would listen to them for the beats and vibes, and everyone *else* would hear the lyrics and go "oh Neil :/" but he doesn't even listen to the words he's singing along to KSBFJSBFIDJFJF
I was driving and listening to them and they're so Neil!!! And then I realized that they wouldn't really canonically intersect???
But I just like to imagine that, if there was a world where The Neighbourhood and Neil Josten existed at the same time, he would be blasting that shit in the fancy car on road trips.
#aftg#all for the game#character playlist#neil josten#the brainrot is real#i have so many thoughts#im hyperfixating again#Andrew would like the band for the first like month#And then he would wait a month before asking neil to pick a new band#And neil would say sure#And then change the playlist halfway through the drive#With the biggest shit eating grin#Anyway I'll shut up now

do you guys think that when neil got back home from cali he took andrew up to the roof where he sat watching him smoke and told him he put a hit out on a raven. and then andrew sat there in silence watching the sunset before asking "why?" and neil looked down fiddling with his own lit cigarette and said very quietly that this particular raven was jean's drake. do you think that andrew went very still and did not speak or smoke for such a long time that neil eventually looked up at him and was taken aback by how andrew was watching him very carefully. do you think that as andrew looked at neil he was so paralysed by the thought of jean going through that same abuse and neil putting an end to it without even thinking twice. do you think he realised his meter had officially broken and neil was so far past 100% and that he was really truly it for him
#i'm sure it can be said andrew cared so little about jean he wouldn't have cared for any of the details#but i don't believe this is true since he protective of neil when nicky makes his unsavoury jokes after he first arrives at palmetto#so i think he would care very much#and he would feel an insane level of pride and love for neil dealing with it this way#he wouldn't say it and he might not even show it but i know he would feel it#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#jean moreau#jeaneil#the sunshine court#tsc#all for the game#aftg

Todd doesn’t talk much in the beginning but I think one random night Todd would go on a sudden 35 minute rant while doing Latin homework about how poetic it is that the Latin word for love is amor cause it sounds like armor, and love makes you feel safe, and Neil would sit there and listen, occasionally adding in comments if it seems like Todd is winding down to get him started up again, and after that Neil tries to get Todd to go on rants whenever he can so he can just sit and listen to Todd go on, sometimes it works and sometimes, especially when they are out and Todd feels anxious, it doesn’t, but every time he does talk on for long bouts of time, Neil just thinks ‘love makes you feel safe’
#Todd doesn’t talk cause he feels anxious and on edge from the possibility of embarrassing himself#but when Todd is comfortable and feels safe he will openly talk your ears off and Neil started to realize this after he and Todd got closer#it’s not just Neil but he would be the one who picks up on it but after a while (probably longer than with Neil) Todd does this with#the other poets too but not to the extent of Neil because Neil and Todd are with each other nearly at all hours so Todd is more comfortable#but I think Neil would feel a sense of pride when Todd is going on these long winded rants; Neil sitting on his bed as Todd stands walking#back and forth lecturing to his one man audience about stupid things#and Todd wouldn’t pick up on any of this but Neil knows; he knows when Todd says love makes you feel safe during a long rant that even if#he doesn’t realize it; he is telling Neil ‘I love you’ and Neil listening with a smile on his face trying to make sure Todd feels safe is#him acknowledging the love and saying ‘I love you too’#dead poets society#dps#dead poets fandom#dps fandom#neil perry#todd anderson#anderperry

Everyday I thank god (Nora) that aftg is set in college and not high school
#as an adult I’m so tired of queer media being set in high school#like no i actually don’t want to see high schoolers have sex and make out#I’m sure I would have still loved aftg as a teen but every year I get older it get harder to like high school centered media#I’m just over it#no saying it shouldn’t exist at all obviously#aftg#andrew minyard#all for the game#neil josten#the foxhole court#tfc

Considering you too are a fan of two very good book series (aftg and trc) do you happen to have any recs?
Hi Thank you for your trust.
I wouldn't say I have a rec that's in the same vibe as these two but i DO have a book rec, I read this a few weeks ago and it's really really really good, now please welcome on stage
The charioteer, by Mary Renault
It's a queer 1953 novel with everything one needs (hospitalized soldiers, male nurses, pretentious and/or mentally unstable queer friends, poetry books, windy countryside, sailors).
I would make fanart of it if I had free time. Hopefully someday I will.
Anyway, go read the the book, its's 100% worth it.
#the charioteer#mary renault#book rec#queer literature#if you liked trc specifically i would say chances are you'll like this one#another auburn haired mc in love with the hot blonde one#neil josten it's you i was referencing#sorry for not answering this message earlier btw i'm sure it's been weeks#i read every message but i dont answer it all so thank you to everyone that has ever left a nice comment it always makes my day#if you wanna reach me don't hesitate to dm

okay, being 100% honest, dont pull a josten and lie to me
if exy and all the aftg stuff was real, would you actually like exy? if someone mentioned kevin day/neil josten/etc, would you recognize their names?
and if the answer is yes, would you be a hater, a stan, indiffent?
remember, you cant lie
#personally#i wouldnt really care#BUT my brother is a big sports fan (like in general he likes too many sports) loves to rant to me about whats up in the sports world#so i know a lot of things and i have opinions (that are my brothers opinion that he rants to me about)#i dont know what time would he stan (maybe the foxes he's got a thing for teams that dont win jackshit with a few exceptions but not sure)#what i do now is that he would absolutely hate the ravens#mostly bc they win every season and he hates winning teams (he says is antisportmanship but actually his fave lost so)#he would despite riko for calling himself the best and also dislike kevin and jean for being (ex)ravens#(tho not as much bc 1)they changed team and 2) they dont have a fucking 1 in their faces. just a 2 and a 3)#he would love wymack#(he stans coaches as much as ge stans players)#he would second guess everytving he does but respect the shit out of him and watch the foxes games just bc he is coaching#he would think neil is funny but wouldnt like him and he would have a andrew minyard poster (i will not elaborate)#aftg#all for the game#nora sakavic#exy#exy is sexy#the foxes#palmetto state foxes#the foxhole court#tsc#idk tags#neil josten#kevin day#the perfect court#coach wymack

has anyone ever thought about when neil got his tattoo. because like i’m sure riko cares about the appearance of his perfect court and would be pissed if the tattoo was dry or peeling or anything.
would neil care for it for himself or would kevin make him. or would neil just let it get dry and fucked up to spite riko?
do you think riko packed tattoo care stuff like the antibacterial soap and good lotion and just snuck it into neil’s duffle?
and if he did would neil use it or just immediately throw it away?
#aftg#andreil#andrew minyard#neil josten#kevin day#all for the gay#all for the game#riko moriyama#jean moreau#tattoos#perfect court#i think if riko gave him anything he would dump it immediately just to not use anything associated with riko#which would piss off kevin for sure#and then he would decide to be annoying and not get care stuff#so kevin would make andrew take him to the store bc we all know he cares#and kevin would give the stuff to him and he would say he wouldn’t use it#until andrew told him too and then suddenly neil cards about tattoo care

canon divergence au where when mary runs she also kidnaps ichirou (don't ask how logistically) as kind of an insurance/hostage situation thing, which of course is an incredibly ill-thought-out plan but which mary is just kind of going with now because it's too late not to do it.
#mainly i think this would be interesting wrt exploring the mary-ichirou dynamic in a high-stress situation#and how their relationships to nathan play into their interactions#and their relationships to/positions within their families#and how ichirou (at this point pretty young) would react to this kind of situation#mary to ichirou on the fifth day of the worst road trip in the world: so what's with you and my husband. no judgement just curious.#she's running on gas station coffee and fumes at this point#ichirou who hasn't slept in at least 24 hours just stares blanky at her for a couple seconds and then tries to throw himself out the door#of the moving car#neil is just kind of around. he's not having a great time but you know he sure is having a time of some sort.#the main reason i have ichirou as the one being kidnapped and not say riko is that 1) i'm personally more interested in exploring ichirou#and 2) i like to think that although mary is extremely competent at survival she is also tangled up in her own mess of complexes#and isn't always thinking completely clearly or practically#mary hatford#ichirou moriyama

Petition to make Dream Boy by Beach Bunny THE Anderperry song
#like it’s so them coded from the fact that Neil is in Midsummer nights dream which makes it a play on words to say he is a dream boy who#feels like summer while also working to say he is a dreamer who is trying to be free through acting and his words paint vivid pictures#and the whole meet me at midnight and you are poetically inclined when the whole movie they sneak out at night to go read poetry in a cave#the fact that Todd always feels like he shouldn’t be places and Neil reassures him and brings him along and makes sure he is comfortable#Todd saying Neil doesn’t need to take care of him to try and give him an out and Neil saying ‘no I’m going to take care of you’ like Todd#would feel he is self imposing his own wants of closeness on Neil but Neil just accepts and gives it back causing emotional involvement#Todd is always nervous which explains his ‘bashful thoughts’ and the whole part at the beginning about seeing the ghost of him in all the#places they frequent like the halls and in their room from when they were roommates but Neil being dead makes it so sad#idk the song just fits so perfectly for them istg#anderperry#todd anderson#neil perry#dead poets society#dps#dead poets fandom#dps fandom#beach bunny#dps and verse

honestly, I feel like Dave McKean's work elevated Neil Gaiman way more than the other way around and we don't distribute credit for that properly. I truly don't think--and, critically, never have thought--the early Sandman writing was so good that it would have gotten far without the heavy hitting art lending it such an air of respectability. McKean's work is so visually distinct still, let alone 20 years ago, let alone 30. "This is serious art for serious stories for serious people," those mixed media paintings say when they're surrounded by pen and ink put out on a brutal schedule. "I am a serious person with sophisticated tastes," the buyer says, given permission to be pretentious and smug as hell, which is very alluring to many people.
#and given that perky goth girl Death was designed by Mike Dringenberg--like. c'mon now y'all. how much did Neil really innovate?#i mean i say this partially from a place of envy deep down i'm sure#i would love for a serious artist to come along and solve all my design and presentation problems#if you're out there: i will love you and cherish you bb and also pay you on time i promise#btw this is not “a person is knocked off their pedestal therefore we retcon their art as mediocre”#this is “i have been a hater since 2005 and only now feel I can open my big mouth about it”#what happened in 2005? Anansi Boys.#OooOoohh look at me i'm a British man who thinks I understand African and diaspora and Caribbean myth as well as I do Germanic and Norse#my partially Caribbean ass who grew up w Anansi stories for complicated diaspora reasons (via my nanny): what the fuck is this??? WHAT?

the thought of cracking the spine of a book makes kevin nauseous. he like opens it just enough to see the words and holds the book at such uncomfortable angles to read— anything to keep the book pristine and intact. he does not let people borrow his books because he is a control freak (as a term of endearment) and does not trust them to take care of them the way he does.
and andrew is the complete opposite, cracking the spine as soon as he opens it. he annotates in pen. he dog ears the pages because who the fuck has time to find a bookmark. he throws books out of anger. he throws them at aaron for fun. he lets them get smashed and torn in his bag. he always keeps them, he just prefers them to look like they’ve been read.
#someone asks kevin what he’s reading and he doesn’t say the name he just explains the ENTIRE plot of whatever historical thing it is#then is like oh….it’s [book] by [author]….#someone asks to borrow a book from him and he’s like “i’m sure the library has it”#andrew probably reads horror and sci fi#he probably fucks with stephen king heavy#i refuse to believe andrew “eidetic memory” minyard is “aLLeRgiC tO boOkS”#have you heard him speak… so poetic for what#i fucking know he’s read shakespeare. he hated it but he read it#imagining andrew as a child in foster care escaping in fantasy worlds to get away from his real life is doing something. bad. to me#kevin reads historical fiction and nonfiction#my baby has a special interest and i will do nothing but respect that#“kevin how often do you think about the roman empire”#“…every time i turn on the faucet… why…?”#and when they stare blankly at him he goes on a RANT about roman acqueducts and how they were#“—LITERALLY REVOLUTIONARY WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT??? we would not have running water THINK ABOUT THAT for ONE SECOND”#neil josten doesn’t read. he can’t sit still long enough to#aftg#kevin day#andrew minyard#all for the game#the foxhole court#tfc

whats a fandom that you will literally never escape
like every few months you are like "ah finally i think i can move on from that fandom. i think the obsessions run its course" then a few months later youre obsessed with it again
#for me is ut/dr and lemon demon#i had a massive undertale phase in like 2021-2022 around that time#and after that i was SURE that i would never return#but here we are#with my debilitating deltarune/spamton obsession#then with lemon demon i LOVED lemon demon#from like may 2023 to about october 2023 i am not even exaggerating when i say it was all i listened to#my playlist back then was just lemon demon songs#then i listened to SAD by lemon demon like a week ago and BOOM lemon demon phase part 2#i cant help it toby fox and neil cicerega are just the coolest dudes to ever exist

enough of this "crowley used to be an archangel" shit. what if the only reason he managed to access classified heavenly files is cause when he was an angel he peeked at the passwords while his higher-ranking friends put them in. he did work with saraqael after all. what then. all i'm saying is that "they never change their passwords" is pretty interesting wordingggg
#good omens#i don't really like the idea that he was someone important in heaven honestly#like. if he was high-ranking why wasn't he informed that the universe he was helping build#was going to be shut down in 6000 years? why did he talk about how 'someone needs to put a note in the suggestion box'?#if he was an archangel surely he would know god's plans for the universe#and surely he could just. go to the metatron and thus god about it if he had something to say#the idea that he just peeked at the passwords is much funnier to me. got them from aziraphale or something#like. i know aziraphale's a principality not a throne or a dominion#but all angel hierarchies are confusing and contradictory#and good omens' system borrows from a number of different ones. it's not completely accurate to any of them#neil has done a breakdown of the good omens angel hierarchy before iirc#but he didn't include thrones or dominions#so as far as we know principalities COULD be above those!
