love the idea that Andrew Minyard is fucking weird. like I mean he is a weird kid. he's not a sociopath like everyone assumed he was, he's just fucking weird. this kid rips up food and eats it in pieces, he's weird. I dont think the meds made him say weird shit, they just got rid of the filter. he's still thinking phrases like that "holier than thou" shit. those thoughts are still bouncing around in that cranium, he just doesn't vocalize them. that eidetic memory is being used for niche random facts that he just kinda knows simply because he was bored once and decided to fuck around and find out. he wears black nail polish and bites his nails because he weird, and I'd go to war for him.

[andrewsleftarmband]

Ahhhhhhhh thank you for the tag!! I have one fic and one wip (technically four) and you’ll notice the pattern when you see it

1) maybe its okay to be me

An ex cult member superstars and a disinherited celebrity walk into a tattoo parlor, and honestly, Allison’s not quite sure whose idea this was anymore.

I HAVE TO USABLE WIPS HERE YOU GO

2) untitled - Kevin goes to therapy

“I don’t know what I’m doing here.” He’s said this already.

3) untitled - Jeremy tramp stamp

Really, he was a lot more sober than his friends were giving him credit for.

That’s all I got, unfortunately. I tag @falafels @minyard-05 @codename-adler @inafieldofstarflowers @zombie-from-space-1 @rottenroyal @millportisntreal @ninyard @mqmneee @joejhang

first line game

Thank you for the tag @zombiecowboy65 🫶 I also stole ur layout bc I'm lazy and I'm going back off the face of the earth after posting this ♥️

Rules: Share the first lines of ten of your latest fanfics (or up to if you have less!) & tag 10 people.

So bc I only have 9 on ao3 I'll include the first line of HOPEFULLY the next one up 😉

1.) Oh the mere sight of

-> Jean had seen the news. He knew it was coming and yet he’d allowed himself to be dragged along anyway.

2.) 5am and my body hates me

-> Marlene stared into the grubby bathroom mirror and clicked her tongue.

3.) Bro wasn't prepared for multiple choice

-> Sadly, the first time Andrew smiles, it isn’t because of Neil.

4.) A brief reprieve

-> Reality looked like it always did whenever Vi came back from a severe KO; vague and dark and blurry.

5.) Sweaty in December

-> “I can’t wait—” Jack said between gasps. “Fuck me. Hiccup—Hiccup please—”

6.) So Far (It's Alright)

-> “Don’t even think about it, Jean." Jeremy began when he caught sight of the way Jean was eyeing him from across the room, clad in only his shorts and boxers

7.) Do I look like him?

-> Jeremy stared back at the boy in the mirror and cringed. The bags under his eyes were getting worse and everyone at school knew it wasn’t because of midterms.

8.) Storm in the morning light

-> “Please—oh god—Jean!~” Jeremy pants. “I can’t hold on! I can’t—you gotta—you gotta let me cum! I can’t—I can’t—!”

9.) You'll pull through

-> At 04:19, Jeremy reconciles with the fact that he can’t keep hitting snooze forever.

10.) untitled (saved as: oh we gettin' freaky up in here)

-> It was the fifth time they’d done this and Jean still didn’t think he’d ever get used to the sight of himself leaking out of Jeremy’s hole.

Notes for as I am writing this:

(re. 1) Imo, my writing has improved massively from when I wrote OTMSO so read it if you fancy but you have been warned. (re. 5) I giggled so hard pasting that in. Jeeeeeesus I have some fandoms in my repertoire.... (re. 6) God I gotta rewrite some of these.....

K so bc MOST OF YALL have already been tagged....ur turn @i-think-2-loud @youdontknowhowtodiequietly @kotabear--24

when u like a character for their potential to be interesting and complex more than how they’re actually written

[andrewsleftarmband]

Allison I grew up with three brothers and am the oldest in my family, I need cunty older sister advice cuz I never learned hair or makeup or fucking anything really, help

Yes, I’m late. Life gets in the way — but good advice doesn’t expire. You asked for this, so buckle in, i'm going to keep it as short as possible.

Makeup:

Start with skincare. There’s no point painting a busted-up canvas. Cleanse, moisturize and use SPF50. Foundation matches your neck. Brows shape your whole face. Mascara makes you look like you slept. And don't trust a girl who doesn't have at least one red lipstick. Find yours, and wear it with confidence.

Hair:

Get a cut that suits your face, not a trend. Learn your tools. Heat protectant isn’t optional, it's the line between "effortless" and "fried."

Life:

Listen, you already survived growing up with three brothers, you know how to hold your ground in chaos. That is a skill, that not many have. Now all you need is confidence. Makeup can only do so much. Just remember. You are that bitch! And thats all.

Also there is a bit of a learning curve with all of this. Can't tell you how many pictures from middle school i've burnt and burried, and the years it took me to heal my hair after basically frying it in highschool. Don't give up. Who cares that you got in the game late, you're willing to learn, and that's all that matters.

Thinking specifically about the “I was seven” part of this conversation. This is the most vulnerable position Andrew places himself in through the entire series, and I think this is why he quickly backpedals and waves it off as “uninteresting”. When he says “I was seven” he rationalizes why he believed him, even when Neil isn’t challenging him as to why he did. I don’t think Neil is trying to make him feel bad for this, but I think his “you believed him” statement causes Andrew to feel self conscious. Obviously this entire conversation is so heartbreaking, but I always get stuck on the fact that even after all this time Andrew still feels like he has to explain himself here.

love when stories inflict unspeakable horrors onto a person for no real reason. its not karma. its not payback. its not a lesson. its not your fault. no ones even out to get you in particular. youre not the chosen one or special or anything. it just sorta happened and you were there. sorry man

Pro players Kevin and Andrew live in the same city and play for different teams. They share an apartment because coach and bee were worried about them getting too lonely without their support system around.

It works super well, Kevin micromanages his and Andrew’s careers and makes sure Andrew takes the job seriously (andrew’s paycheck has enough zeroes for that, but andrew enjoys antagonizing Kevin and pretending that he doesn’t care). Andrew distracts Kevin’s mind from being exy 24/7 and forces him to be more of a person and less of the perfect star athlete.

They have different schedules, but on their down time they are very domestic.

- They play scrabble, kevin teaches Andrew how to play chess and they play it at home and online during away games;

- they buy and read those airport thrillers and swap them with each other

- andrew makes kevin watch all kinds of movies and series, from 60’s sitcoms to marvel to arthouse german movies, andrew has no problems on watching stuff and enjoys reading the culture sections of old magazines to find obscure recs; kevin accepts watching anything, he doesn’t know what is a popular in entertainment and what isn’t bc he grew up in a cult

- they video call neil and coach together;

-Kevin discusses all of andrew’s sponsorship offers with andrew and his publicist and together they chose the best ones and make sure andrew has a bunch of clauses on the contracts to keep him comfortable;

- Andrew doesn’t go to kevin’s home games very often, but he always picks him up after and during the drive back they call neil and kevin and neil discuss the game in detail (andrew doesn’t really care, but he misses neil’s voice so he doesn’t complain);

- they become more touchy with each other (the only other time they get human touch is during games), andrew braids kevin’s hair before games, kevin holds onto andrew’s shoulders when he wants to convince him of something, andrew puts his feet under kevin’s legs while they watch tv, kevin just really likes to keep a hand on andrew’s shoulder when they talk

- when neil comes to visit their apartment comes alive, they do everything together, andrew and kevin keep trying to steal neil away from each other, but in general they have a great time together

Paediatric Neurosurgeon Dr Aaron Minyard is tough as nails and known around the ward as an unfriendly asshole, but turns completely soft towards his patients.

He learns to braid hair for his patients. He does it so their hair is away from the surgical site and the parents don’t have to worry about doing their hair for a few days once they’re discharged. Usually it’s not the surgeons job to clean up the patient post-op, but he will not let anyone else do it but himself.

When he visits them after they’ve woken up he makes sure to compliment their pretty braid and congratulate them because only the bravest kids get one ���😭🥺

[andrewsleftarmband]

I’m sorry but I’m losing my goddamn mind over this…

Just like Neil probably was when Andrew sent it to him 🤭

How y’all feel about collages

[andrewsleftarmband]

God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers and I'm dodging the draft

[andrewsleftarmband]

Andrew being afraid of heights is poetic actually. The fact that he’s uncomfortable looking down from a height is symbolic because he never thought he would have that vantage point. Life dug him an early grave the moment his mother filled out his birth certificate and he was (and always thought he would be) comfortable lying in it. The fact that he’s afraid of the consequences of falling is symbolic because life showed him early on just how bad those consequences were. Every house that “wasn’t ready for anything long-term” and every therapist that found him “too difficult” was another rung not worth climbing on the ladder to hope, to what-if, to one day. So he stopped climbing, and when all you ever thought you’d know was rock bottom, wouldn’t you too be scared at the top?
