If DALL has 1 million fans, I’m one of them.

If DALL has 5 fans, I’m one of them.

If DALL has 1 fan, I’m the one.

If DALL has no fans, it means I’m dead.

okay, i finally have to ask. WHAT is aftg about??? bc I thought it was a YA fictional sportsball anime type series. But i keep seeing all kinds of trauma and tragic poetry and i am? confused??

omg oh boy you have just opened a pandoras box

so like. I'd say it's more new adult than YA - it's super heavy with explicit sexual content and very explicit torture & abuse so heads up there

but basically, yes, it is fictional sportsball, made up sport called exy, kinda like lacrosse but more violent & played on a court/not grass, which wad invented by 2 people, one of whom is a from a mafia family & who coaches the college team "the ravens" which is essentially a cult & a mafia front.

the main neil josten is recruited by the college team "the palmetto state foxes" - the worst team in collegiate class 1 exy, coached by David wymack. he recruits all the players no one else wants - mentally ill/traumatized, drug addicted, criminal kids, in order to give them a second chance at life. Neil's high school coach sends his file to wymack bc he suspects that neil is being abused by his parents, not knowing that Neil's entire identity is fake and he's homeless & on the run from the mafia and his serial killer/hitman father. joining the foxes & being in the spotlight is a death sentence for neil, but he's lonely and desperate and wants to spend the last year of his life doing what he loves.

all of the characters are unhinged and violent but the found family trope goes *hard.*

so like, yes. fictional sportsball. it's centered around the collegiate exy league. but it's *really* about trauma and abuse and allowing urself to love and be loved even in the face of death 🥲

neil josten starts the series as a non-person - a fake personality wrapped up in a fake name, completely unknown. and ends the story a real person who is known & understood and loved & who inspires his whole team to rally around him.

so um. yeah. the plot is chaotic and tragic and a little absurd at times but the writing is beautiful and the relationships between the characters are beautiful too.

and also it's gay. and neil antagonizes everyone, including multiple mafia leaders and the fbi

I'm sorry, I don't believe that anyone who has read regularly since childhood would still count Harry Potter as the best book they've ever read.

A reminder with PBS being defunded that it is SO MUCH MORE than PBS Kids. It broadcasts educational shows about science, history, current events, nature, art and so much more, instructional television for cooking and home improvement, British shows that might not be available in the states if it wasn’t for PBS, theatre productions, indie productions that PBS gives an opportunity to broadcast they might not get otherwise, and all that’s not even mentioning NPR!!!!! Losing PBS would not only be losing nostalgic shows like Sesame Street and Arthur, but shows for teens and adults who might not be able to afford other channels as well, and THAT is one of the many reasons why it’s so important to fight for it. The link below is a form that lets you send a message to your lawmakers to not defund the extremely important resource to millions that is PBS!!!!!
