#kevin day is hot

[catlaila]

my favorite revelation from tsc is that kevin day IS canonically attractive neil just refuses to acknowledge it

[elene78-blog]

Andrew looks at Kevin after the game against the Trojans.

"How does it feel?" He asks Kevin.

"Losing is not pleasant for anyone," says Kevin.

"Sorry," Andrew says without meaning it at all. "I wanted to say, how does it feel to know that Monsieur Misérable and Mr. Golden Smile are fucking together and have agreed to beat you up?"

Kevin turns to him with a growing bad mood.

"They're not having sex."

"D'Artagnan hit you too hard with the racket. You don't know what you're saying."

"They're not having sex, Andrew!"

"New bet then. I say that France conquers California before the end of the year... In two months if Monsieur Trauma takes care of his shit."

"...Jeremy has never told me he's gay."

Andrew remains silent. He turns his head towards Kevin very very slowly.

"300 dollars."

"We're not going to bet on this..."

"500 dollars."

"Why are you so happy to do this?"

"What do you mean, Kevin? I'm a very happy man."

It's impossible to tell if Andrew is joking with that unflappable expression.

And so the betting returns to the Foxes.

"Nora doesn't know anything about the things she writes about" "aftg is terrible queer rep" "the queer characters in aftg are so problematic"

Idk guys maybe the book series abt problematic ppl set in 2006 and written in the mid 2010s shouldn't be expected to hold up against scrutiny of what we consider to be moral and correct now, in 2024

Idk tho, idk

Andrew has had the same conversation like five times

[moonsnqil]

if i was kevin day id be more annoying actually

[medeaaasworld]

Woke up thinking about this part from extra content:

like—are we just going to ignore the fact that Andrew comes to Wymack to drink and talk about Kevin??? So often that Wymack just assumes that every time Andrew starts talking it's about Kev??? And the first time Andrew doesn't drink because of Kevin is when he drinks because of Neil???

[tankuare]

Nora said that she knows who dies first between Neil and Andrew and I am BEGGING her never to release that information for my own mental health

[krak3n23]

Imagine being poor Wymack for a moment.

You get Neil Josten in a total of eight fits. He refuses to get more clothes. Your team has to trick, drag or torment him into purchasing clothing. Your saving grace is Andrew Minyard who you’re pretty sure is just buying clothes for the boy to stare at him. You will not complain because at least he’s getting clothes.

Jean Moreau is dropped on your girlfriend’s doorstep by one of your many children that come from mob backgrounds. He too has a closet that you could fit in a child’s backpack. You refuse to deal with this one. This is a Trojan problem.

And a year prior you got Kevin Day. Who came with who knows how many outfits. Probably like two or less. He at least seems to enjoy shopping.

You are worried for these mob children and their lack of extra pants.

What’s worse, living in a cult where you’re beaten and abused every day to the point where your body is accustom to being broken and you’re isolated from the outside world and even when you get out you are forced to be tied to them forever until your debt is paid, or bisexuality??

[0l-unreliable]

A card set I was planning but will sadly probably never finish. Plus there are only so many sexy cowboy outfits

Kevin: “It’s easier to be straight in the sports world.”

Also Kevin: *gets the world’s gayest tattoo on his cheekbone*

anyone else thinking about kevin day with a breeding kin-[GUNSHOTS]

[chaoticgremelin]

Just your friendly reminder that Jean wanted Kevin to stay because he knew Kevin couldn't survive the Nest without playing and he needed Kevin to die so that he could go too. Not only that, but he admits he would have done anything short of killing Kevin to stop him from leaving.

Neither Jean nor Kevin were exactly thinking about the other's well being at that particular moment. And you know what? IT IS FINE

They were being deeply abused, in all possible ways. They were pushed to their breaking points and when this happens you cannot think of anything or anyone else, the only thing you want is to make that pain stop. And both of them were willing to sacrifice the other to get a way out

Kevin's ticket out was Wymack and the Foxes, but to get to them, he needed first to get out of the Nest without being caught (which is hard taking in consideration he was supposed to remain 24/7 glued to Riko-seriously, I would kill myself of I had to stay so much time glued to that thing), so he had to slit Jean's throat on the way out, which he did

Jean couldn't leave, so his way out was death , but for that he needed Kevin to die first, so that no one could hold him accountable for his promise, and he would gladly let Kevin rot and kill himself if it meant he could do it too right after

And IT IS FINE. None of them is to blame for anything. The levels of abuse those kids endured cannot be easily measured at all. They were both holding on by a thread. For them at that moment in time there was only wanting the pain to stop, which is FINE. It doesn't matter how good or selfless you are, at some point it becomes too much and I am not even talking about physical pain. At some point you cannot endure anymore and all you need is a way out, a way to make it all stop.

This is more of a rant because the shade on Kevin for leaving is becoming kind of too much. Also saw some shade on Jean for being relivied that Kevin broke his hand. And just no. Yall need to stop

The only ones to blame here are the abusers

Specially Tetsuji, who raised a fucking monster and then allowed to roam free hurting people for nothing

(Ps: some of yall also seriously underestimate what Riko did to Kevin's hand. So just a reminder that this wasnt just a broken bone. It was a career ending injury. Kevin needed surgery just to be able to slightly move his hand again. At that moment Riko crossed a line he had never crossed before, not even with Jean: he tried to completly end Kevin's ability to play professionally. Surely, Riko had already broken Jean's bones before (which he had never did to Kevin before), but there is a difference between breaking a finger and smashing someone's hands with a racquet. The ladder means that you are gonna have multiple broken bones, broken in multiple points. Not to mention the possibility of cutting nervous connections, soft tissue getting basically destroyed togheter with muscle and blood vessels. I know many people who read this series don't really practice sports, but there is a huge difference between injuries (broken fingers, dislocated shoulder, sprained ankle, etc) and careers ending injuries, which basically means that it doesnt matter how much you want it and how much you are willing to keep on practicing through the pain, you might never be able to play at the same level as before. Kevin's case was the second one, and this isnt a debate at all in the books. Everyone agrees Kevin's come back as impressive and unexpected as hell. Even Jean, with all the pain he endured and had to play through at Evermore admits that it was unexepected for Kevin to come back or be able to play again at all, because it was. Riko lost all control that night. And it must have been scary as hell for them both. For Kevin, because he just had his whole life shattered with his hand and for Jean too, because if Riko got to the point of doing this to Kevin, his number 2, imagine what he could do to him if he lost control again (we get that answer when Kengo dies)

Anyways, that was the rant

Sorry, long as hell
