[angry-kid-with-no-money]

thank u for tagging meeeeee!!!! this is exiting for me ngl!! answers below the cut, id on't know whats happened to my bullet point/numbers and i cbb to fix it so

What is your favourite character in the Foxes?

I gotta say Aaron, he’s just a guy and most of his lines are so fucking funny

And favourite in the series aside from this one?

I think Kevin or Jean

Drop your beloved head-canons about both!

I will always hc that aaron isn’t homophobic he just hates his families partners/hearing about their sex lives. I have many hcs about Kevin and Jean but my favourite is that when Jean gets out the next and lives with the Trojans, the first healthy way they start communicating again is sending really short simple postcards to each other

Fic(s) you are always happy to recommend or fic tropes you will always read.

My favourite two tropes are the ones where one of the foxes is a child or the ones where neil is a raven and the fic I like the most combines them both its called Little Birds (https://archiveofourown.org/works/46731118)

And my other favourite troup is kevin angst but theres so many good ones of that, I just couldn’t pick but this one is really god for it: Dead of Night by NikNak22 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/45261544)

Which of the books is your favourite

I actually could not pick if you held a gun to my head

Opinions on AFTG audiobook release?

So my only experience with the audiobook is a short clip that was on tiktok of the beginning of the “you know I get it” speech and I actually kind of hate it sooo

If you write/draw/create aftg stuff, what is your favourite work of yours?

None of mine are published, I think my fav of my own is the docto who crossover or the newsies crossover

Favourite event/plot point in the books

The “you know, I get it” speech or when Neil punches riko. They’re both so iconic

was reading through replies and remembered i absolutely love the bit where kevin switches his raquet to his left hand and crowd goes fucking wild. if i ever got to see it on tv i'd loose my mind. like edits of that moment???? can you imagine. anyway

Least favourite part of canon (can include Extra content)

The fact that Riko dies at the end, like I kind of understand why she did it and it’s justifiable, espec cause she no longer liked him as a character but I wish he hadn’t died and something else happened

If you could sent Nora an ask and get answer, what would you ask about?

Literally any information about Katelyn, her last name?? what does she look like?? Anything, I beg

If you could make an idea of your choice canon to aftg, what would it be?

The foxes never split up or whatever, they’re all friends for the rest of their lives and nothing bad happens to them after that

Feel free to share some random hot takes if you like

Nora’s writing isn’t as horrific as people make it out to be. The fandom acts like it’s the worst, incomprehensible writing ever and it’s really really not

Thea was also a victim of a the nest.

AFTG Fandom ask game !

by Cavan bc I need to interrogate my friends feel free to reply in replies or reblog! feel free to reply even if I haven't tagged you probably unsure if I can call you a friend but I'll be happy to read your replies!

So since I accidentally freaked some of y’all out last night, here’s an explanation of my day yesterday.

tl;dr: I fainted (for normal and not alarming reasons) and hit the back of my head and went to the ER last night to get the laceration closed. I’m not concussed and totally 100% okay. I’ll be around but I’m limiting screen time since my head is a little woozy. 

For those of you who want the full story, keep reading, because I know some are confused lol:

So Haley has had a weird history with pain tolerance. I had seizures as a baby from my reaction to pain, but I also would have triple stage ear infections I was barely reacting to, plus I have tattoos on my rib cage. Ya girl does not make sense.

So I was minding my own business after work yesterday to do some laundry. I’d worked a long shift at my job and I’d already done some adulting, but I wanted a gold star of productivity for the day and decided to wash some towels since my fiancee and I had no clean towels. My apartment complex has a coin-operated laundry room with those fancy quarter metal slots that stick out from it. Well, while holding the basket, I accidentally jam my finger against the side of one of those metal quarter things.

Fucking ow.

I get one load of towels in and my finger is still hurting. I try and bend it, ow. My brilliant, genius level IQ mind decides ‘hey, Haley, try and pop it’

Aaaaand I’m on the ground.

So since (1) I’ve always had a really reactive pain tolerance and (2) there are tons of nerves in your hand, the pain just sent me on the ground.

The thing is, I had to choose the row of washers with a goddamn counter behind me.

I haven’t noticed yet that I’m bleeding, but I slowly get up after I realize, oh shit, I fucking fainted. I get the other load of laundry in, because, priorities, I guess??? I leave the laundry room and am walking back to my apartment when I touch the back of my head, and oh yay blood.

I’m home alone, and shout out to the absolute freaked out call I gave my mom.

She gets me sat down with a towel and a ice pack and I’m in a decent amount of pain but we’ve figured out that I’m not bleeding all that much, which is weird, because head wounds bleed like a motherfucker. 

So I’m officially at this point thinking I don’t need stitches but I might be concussed, which is freaking me out, because I’m home alone, what if??? I fall asleep??? The fuck????

My mom refuses to come up to me (in her defense she’s 40 minutes away and it was during rush hour and she was literally walking out the door but I’m bitter) but there’s a family friend that’s like 10 minutes away from me, she gets me some fresh ice and pins my hair out of the cut and I get a great picture of the wound. (Available upon request if you like gore pictures)

Now we’re thinking I might actually need stitches, but like??? It’s clotting??? WHy would I??

This is when I post the first OOC post of me being bored and wanting to send people memes. We’re fairly certain at this point I’m not concussed because I’m not nauseous, nothing is blurry, I’m responsive, I have no double vision, etc. 

Well my mom texts a picture of it to a friend of hers that’s a nurse and she’s like yeah hydrogen peroxide is not going to cut it.

That girl needs some stitches.

However, I’m 23 and only with a part time job. I have a decent savings because I was privileged with a low rent and no bills during college, but the ER sounds terrifying financially, but it’s decided we can’t risk an infection on my goddamn head, and when my fiancee gets home from work just before 11, he gets changed and we’re off to the ER after I triple check the hospital near us is in-network with my medical insurance.

#MedicareForAll

We get to the ER

Nurse at the desk: What’s up with you?

Me: I have a hole in my head and I’d like it closed

Nurse, blinking: Well alright

An hour later, I get to see the most sunshiney doctor in the world who numbs me and tells me he’ll get my head stapled. Literally no one has expressed any concern that I’m concussed, either, which was comforting.

Fun fact: a medical staple gun is like only slightly smaller than a staple gun you like, use on a wall or in crafting.

Thanks to some local anesthetic, I felt none of those two staples (if you’re into injury pics I also have one of the staples) going into my head. My fiancee and I head out after I hand off my insurance information, and then we roll around to the Taco Bell drive thru because I’m starving.

I go to sleep with a towel underneath my head to catch any extra blood smear in my hair and on a ice pack and woke up the next day....really feeling okay.

So moving forward! I really do feel fine. I’m a little groggy, for sure. My head definitely feels swollen and I’m very like, physically conscious of exactly where the staples are, which is weird, but also kind of neat. The site of stapling itself is a little tender, but I feel really......mostly normal, tbh.

Because I’m a little woozy, I’m trying to limit my screen time, but I’m definitely, like, around! And totally okay and safe! Sorry for scaring anyone, I know someone worried I got worse, but nah, we’d just finally decided that it was just the smart thing to get stitches.

But! Yeah! I’m good, fiancee is good, cat is still great, I just have two more staples in my head for six more days or so. I might be slow to replying to some IMs/dis.cord/sky.pe because my eyes are tired. Still a dork.

Woo hoo!

edit: Oh yeah and my finger is fine. A little bruised, but just barely

Pairing: I havent decided yet.. Word Count: 1,002 Warnings: None yet..

Story under cut.

"Sweetie you have to get up." I let out a muffled groan. I was laying in bed with my head on the pillow. Today was the last day of summer holiday and it already sucked ass. I had work every day of the week, and no chance to buy any new school stuff. "Let's go sweetheart." "No mum, my bed is too warm, I don't wanna..." "But you have to!" "Mooooom..." "Dont mom me. Get up and be productive!" I sighed, my mom was only going to get worse if I didn't get up. So I sat up in a sign I was going to get out of bed. This resulted in my mum leaving my room. One more day before school starts, woo- fucking -hoo, I don't like school. All the kids at school are so much different, either happy peppy or depressed and not showing. School is just something that keeps me busy. I got up and put on my work clothes, which is just a simple black blouse and jeans. Coming downstairs there was toast and juice waiting for me. "Ah, there you are, finally!" I just hummed and sat down. My mom her behaviour was normal to me, and she was all I had so I was able to deal with it. My dad was in the army and died on duty when I was about two years old. My mom always told me these  stories about how he was in a special task forse. I used to love those stories, now they're all known to me and not that special. "When will you be done today?" "Around eight." Which was not really true, I was done by six today, but I needed a little me time. I can only thandle my mom for so long. "Alright, make sure you come straight home, alright?" "Yes mom." Every day she told me the same thing. I took a look at the clock, if I went to work early I could smoke a quick cigatette. My mom didn't know I was smoking, and I'd like to keep it like that. It was not that I was addicted, I just liked an occational smoke. "I gotta go now." I stood up after an okay of mom, took some toast and went off. The day went by quite normally. By the time I could go home I literally counted all of the magazines. There weren't really a lot of costomers, as usual. I went off to my favourite spot in the park and after two hours of relaxing I went home, walking my usual route  which had an unusual change. There were both cops and peramedics at the Montey's. This was odd because they were both in perfect physical condition. Morning runs, healthy food, the whole big bang. I didn't think much of it and walked on home. My mom on the other hand heard the news and gave me a speech on staying away from trouble, she also told me to walk another route to work and school so that I wouldnt be exposed to whatever bad thing she had in mind. That night I slept terribly, it felt like someone was watching me. And let me tell you, that's not comfortable! ------------- "Sweetheart! Wake up! You have school today!" I got out of bed, got dressed in jeans, a black shirt with my jean jacket and my combat boot heels. I took my Phone off the charger and walked downstaris. The lack of sleep weighing on my shoulders, this would be a long day.. My mother was much more cheerful, chill out mom, its only school. "Oh how excited I am for you!" she squeeld. I just hummed, grabbing an apple for breakfast and making some easy lunch. "After school I've got a surprise for you." I looked at my mom. "Really? What kind of surprise?" She smiled at me. "There is someone really special on his, or her, way here to see you." Great, she is in het mysterious mood.. I nodded. "Thats cool, Im looking forward to it! I will be done at noon today" I stated. She ushered me to the door. "Now go, quickly, before you will be late! You wouldn't want that on your first day!" I chuckled, being late was the least of my problems today. First I had to decide who I wanted to be this year. I wanted my grades to be mainly A's and B's. That ment not many extra activities. Maybe like 3? I sure as hell wanted to join the gymnastics team this year. I also wanted to join IT class. The third thing i will have to look out for, maybe chess or photography, I dont know yet. My walk to school was one without struggles, as most of the time. I had my earbuds in, playing some Ed Sheeran. "Hey you! Watch out!" I barely had time to locate the person, but I jumped aside. A guy with a motor rode by with a deadly speed. Well, i asumed it was a guy. I sighed and thanked the woman who warned me, as she was watering her plants. School went by fairly quick for a change. I had chosen my classes; Advanced English, French, Latin, History, Advanced Math, Art, Science and Sports. With my extra courses in: Gymnasitics, IT and Archery. That was a new one this year, and I really like the teacher so why not. Mr. Ramirez was probably my favourite teacher at school, he gave both Latin and History and also Archery this year. And on top of all that he was the principal, busy man you could say. On my way back I felt quite uneasy, like someone was watching me. I shook it off as I was almost home anyways. "Mom! Im home!" "Hello honey, walk on up to your room, your surprise is waiting there!" I didn't waste any second and quicky walked upstairs. Seeing who stood there made me gasp...

Next part will be up soon! (If you want to read on you can on AO3)
