I know I've made this post before but it absolutely fucking kills me that Andrew's entire outlook on life was "I just have to hold on until I drag Aaron across the finish line," only for Kevin to swoop in and, between fits of hysterical sobbing, somehow still find the time to insist that Andrew has a great life ahead of him, and the breath to belligerently dismiss anybody who argues, especially Andrew.

No wonder they're so antagonistic. No wonder they're best friends. Suddenly Andrew is the one getting dragged to the finish line. If Kevin is wrong, then he's covered in mud for nothing. If he's right, then the finish line is much, much further away than just graduation.

now that we canonically know that andrew hated people knowing about the assault and abuse he went through as a child, now that we know he sees it as something that will make his family lose faith in him and view him as weak, I wonder if part of his "hatred" for neil is that neil knows all of this ugly history, put himself in harm's way to protect andrew from more abuse, and still views him as this strong and steadfast person. in andrew's mind, it seems pretty black and white - he is either the protector or the victim. he spent so long building this identity as a protector, but his abuse coming to light means he is now a victim. so for neil to see him as a protector but also believe he deserves protecting as well, it shakes something pretty foundational in andrew's world view, which we know he never takes well. there are many reasons andrew hates neil, but this makes for a very interesting development.

REMINDER THAT NEIL WAS GOING TO RUN FROM THE BANQUET IN TRK. REMINDER THAT WHEN KEVIN REALISED WHO HE WAS NEIL WAS FIGURING OUT A PLAN ON HOW TO ESCAPE AND GET BACK TO PSU TO GET HIS MONEY AND RUN. REMINDER THAT THE ONLY REASON HE DID IT WAS BECAUSE OF ANDREW'S PROMISE TO HIM. BY THE FUCKING WAY

its so sick to me that the rumors of jean sleeping his way onto the ravens are widespread but not one person has stopped for a moment to remember that jean started playing with them at 16 years old.

"jean moreau slept with the entire starting line" did he? or did a bunch of 20 year olds fuck a 16 year old?? Like I know it's 2007 but nobody is talking about that?

something about jean dying in all the other drafts really gets me like wdym no one would ever have known how soft and caring he was underneath it all or how he had a sister or how he put away the leftovers without asking and cared enough to ask about the safety of someone he barely knew and how he was desperate to love and be loved all along. ofcourse kevin and renee and neil wouldn't have forgotten him but they did not know all the pieces of who he was and what he survived and what he was trying to be, in his heart of hearts. jeremy will know, eventually. but what if he never did? what if no one ever ended up truly knowing him and loving him and saving him? would they piece the deepest parts of his heart by the postcards and magnets and memories of a too soft boy in a too cruel world?

[…]“Did you know your eyes shine with starlight when you do magic?” Arthur asked.

Merlin felt his face heat. Not ‘glowed’. Not ‘turned yellow’. But ‘shone with starlight’. A heart-wrenchingly beautiful way to describe what happened to him. And here was Arthur, of all people, saying this. About him. About his magic.
