Just thinking about andrew in a pride month party at the edens

[vyl]

crazy that Jeremy is watching Jean grow (under Cat’s influence) into this hot biker dude who cooks and plays Exy and looks like sin incarnate and he’s jealous and just like “god someone is gonna be so lucky, I wish it could be me” but the joke is gonna be on him because it IS him—

[vyl]

A bit rushed..I deadass have no thought with art these days..

[vyl]

“Pop, and he was gone. It’s impressive, isn’t it? How easily these monsters die in the end.”

[vyl]

imagine the chaos after kevin and andrew came back from LA

andrew: you killed a guy and you didn’t tell me

neil: well i was preoccupied with the FBI stuff

andrew: AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME ABOUT THE FBI STUFF

kevin: can you guys believe that jeremy wants to be a lawyer

[vyl]

Kevin selling Jean to the Trojans like:

[vyl]

kevin day as this painting of lucifer

they have pretty similar look in their eyes so why not

[vyl]

Absolutely hilarious that Kevin showed Jean the articles about Jeremy’s freshman year as warning about being gay in Exy and still all Jean got out of it was Jeremy is Pretty

[vyl]

exy, trauma, repeat.

[vyl]

Jeremy: it really was such a stroke of good luck that Neil was visiting when he was because it gave Jean a great alibi for Grayson’s death!! :)

Kevin:

[vyl]

Literal hell all around, dealing w everything the Ravens threw at them

Kevin: are you okay?

Jean Moreau: 🫶🏼Jeremy's 🫶🏼 going into 🤨☠️law 😤😠

I haven't seen a lot of people talk about Jean and Kevin's relationship in TGR and I have some thoughts. Obviously, SPOILERS ahead:

Jean — who admitted that Kevin was not his friend, that he wanted him dead, that he'd slash his tires before he'd broke them out of hell — still trusted Kevin to have his back at the interview, still wanted to listen to what he had to say, still looked at him and cared about his well being. The fact that Kevin drinking his life away wasn't troublesome because of the mental implications, but because he's throwing his body away and won't be able to play exy well — is in strong antithesis with Jean being “happy” when he broke his hand.

Jean is an abandoned child.

He has never had someone to call his own, besides his sister that he hasn't seen in years (and then found that he'd let her down).

Kevin being his first friend and first trusted companion and Kevin making him swear not to die — Jean still hating Kevin for it does numbers on how badly depressed Jean still is. He doesn't care that he's still alive and doing better and having friends — real friends — because Kevin has ended up abandoning him as well. I wonder if he's been so used to the thought that he expected his friends to do that as well.

I think not even Kevin realized how badly he'd hurt Jean by leaving until this book.

TGR SPOILERS

Pls I cackled so much at this part — just imagine Jean n Neil high five-ing in their spare time after a messy interview or stand off with their teammates.

The loudmouth and the forced to be silent sharing the same violent tendency to be rude just to make their point across

The misplaced partners vibing and thinking about each other in this book has done something to me I fear

[vyl]

Two good boys

[vyl]

I fear Laila and Neil would be an insane duo

[vyl]

TGR SPOILERS

Jean, I see you thinking about Neil at any chance you have, you're not as nonchalant as you want

[vyl]

if you ever think about settling for less than you deserve just remember that andrew minyard quit smoking in fear his lungs wouldn't allow him to be fast enough to save the man he loves in case he needs it
