i’m currently rereading aftg and i just noticed this.

here neil hoped that if anything bad happened between andrew and luther he would be fast enough to intervene

but when it actually came to the worst aaron was /faster/

[andrewsknives]

So I gave up, then decided to continue, and now I’m giving up again

so u get this unfinished mess. I call it ‘how much of a disaster can I get away w making their hair’

this is probably too soft for them, but u see, idc

Trying to imply there's anyone better at Exy than Kevin (the insane genius) is a crime against his whole character arc. Man didn't fight with being seen as second his whole life when he actually wasn't for people to question the fact that he is number 1.

hi! i love your neil(s) so much! i saw someone mention the neil universe and now im thinking uhhh trojan!neil !!?

trojan! neil descends upon us ... (deeply cursed)

[andrewsknives]

every time i see a post about how jean has never actually played up to his full potential because of the pain he was perpetually in and when he actually plays while uninjured and well-rested he absolutely obliterates anyone who plays against him, some part of my comes alive

neil josten is like “not fight, not flight, but secret third option: fight and flight” my man stirs up trouble and then immediately books it

[andrewsknives]

one of the best things about neil josten is honestly how painfully self-aware he is. he’ll be running his mouth fully aware of the consequences, and he’ll even care about the consequences a great deal, but he’ll still go “i can have a panic attack later! first i need to roast the mafia on national television” like my guy. no one's doing it like him

This whole Olympics exy thing is funny, but people forget Kevin and Jean have faced each other before, and Kevin did score regardless 😌

biblically accurate Neil and Andrew Instagram profiles

[andrewsknives]

thinking abt how wymacks apartment made neil uncomfortable since he “preferred staying to lower levels so he could make an easy escape if need be” when later the roof of a four story building becomes neil’s safe space because the safety and comfort andrew provides outweighs neil’s survival instincts…. yeah….

Jean would finally start recovering from his LCL injury just for an exy ball the come at him and smack his knee at Mach 10, long live my king ilysm you would be miserable. Might make it a fic.

[andrewsknives]

don’t you dare tell me they’re not the bestest friends ever

[andrewsknives]

them : )

[andrewsknives]

their potential in tsc? unmatched

i’ll just put some of my thoughts here abt kev<3

what makes me really sad in aftg is that kevin is left alone at the end of the day. and before anyone says ‘but he has thea’ yeah, who was abused in the same ways as he was.

he’s left in the environment where he will never get better, because with thea at his side he will never understand how badly he was actually hurt and how much was stolen from him.

it breaks my heart that nora didn’t see him in a relationship with someone outside the exy entirely, someone who would be gentle with him, someone who would teach him to live a normal life, someone to show him that love doesn’t have to hurt and that a relationship is all about partnership.

because again back to thea, kevin doesn’t tell her things, he probably doesn’t think he can — she had to find out about his hand from LIVE TV!!!!! their relationship was all mutual attraction mostly based on fascination about one another’s exy skills. thea told kevin she’d wait for him to grow or whatever (i believe it was from extra content that we don’t have access to anymore so forgive me if im wrong) and then in her post about thea nora said thea was already starting to focus on building life without kevin when he joined the foxes, she literally didn’t gaf about him.

and it only makes me think about how kevin /carves/ the affection, the warmth of having other person always in the arm reach, how he clung to abby after the incident after kathy’s show in tfc, how betsy admitted to jean in tsc that kevin struggled to trust her at first but then opened up.

kevin day wants to get better. and i just wish he had the support to

[andrewsknives]

if you really /really/ think about it aftg would’ve never happened if not for kevin

[andrewsknives]

happy birthday to the one that makes me the happiest person on earth i love you always and forever neil josten<3
