fair haired rat

i fear i can never be normal about aftg because ever since i have started it on a random tuesday in the middle school it became engraved in my brain and still won’t let me go for YEARS nonstop like isn’t that literally crazy

[clearhera11]

just finished the golden raven and am insanely impressed with how many bad things nora was able to squeeze into one book

[clearhera11]

the damned raven car

was I the only one who was super stressed that there'd be like, DRUGS? THREATS? A BODY? planted in the cars trunk 😮‍💨😫 until the very end when they got their motorcycles I was STRESSED

[clearhera11]

ALSO!! Can we talk about Jean getting and renaming a dog called Rex?? As in the latin word for King?? Jeremy! I know your little has-canonically-studied-latin-ass knew that! Don't tell Jean though, he'll have a breakdown or something

[clearhera11]

constantly have to remind myself that i didn't just read an incredibly detailed fanfic and it's actually all canon and then i go a little feral

[clearhera11]

I read the original AFTG trilogy when I was 13, and now I’m 19 reading TGR and it just hit me that I’m the same age as Jean and Neil, that they’ve gone through a million lifetimes, and yet we’re the same age……

[clearhera11]

List of (most of) the rude things Jean Moreau calls people, TGR edition:

Ill-bred child

Malfunctioning cretin

Fair-haired rat

A hideous invention (this is about the English language)

Rancid bitch

Ruinous wretch

Half-baked baguette

A walking disaster

Rancid menace

And honorable mention goes to "his disapproval was worth less than a fly's tiny shit" I fucking love this grumpy teenager

@korakos please I am begging you I NEED Andrew’s pov I would literally settle for anything, just a sliver, a crumb, a gust of wind, ANYTHING I am down on my KNEES BEGGING you please I need to see Andrew’s pov I am actually going feral I have never needed anything more in my entire life

[clearhera11]

WHAT do you mean we will never get andrew's pov where he GOSSIPS about jeremy's GAY ASS to renee

[clearhera11]

Neil stuck trying to figure out whether Andrew needs him more or if Kevin does will be my roman empire. But also Andreil parenting Kevin because they are there for their 6ft child😌.

[clearhera11]

so the thing about andrew maybe giving up smoking because of what jean says that has me so !!!!! is that the inciting event (foxes vs ravens match) wasn't even remotely a failure on andrew's part.

but when neil got hurt this time it wasn't that andrew wasn't fast enough! andrew was attacked thirty seconds into the game and even neil "fastest man in class I exy" josten couldn't have (and didn't) make it across the court to him before the violence started.

regardless of this, andrew throws the cigarette away. because he can't stand seeing neil get hurt, and if there's even a possibility that jean was right that andrew's habit of smoking might be the reason neil gets hurt again, then it has to go. again we get a flash of andrew's lack of self preservation because if it was for his own health he'd have given up any one of the number of times kevin asked him to. but now it's framed around neil, and it's not just andrew who needs him to live.

i haven’t posted on tumblr since like 2021 and the thing that brought me back was aaron fucking minyard driving the mas

[clearhera11]

TGR SPOILERS

Nora just dropping a full on foxes-ravens fight mid book and casually moving on from it HOLD ON

[clearhera11]

tgr spoilers

what if i said that the most shocking thing about tgr wasn’t all the ravens that died, jeremy’s backstory with his brother, barkbark von barkenstein being burned down, zane attacking jean, jean becoming a dog father, or the entire foxes vs ravens match

but the fact that aaron actually got to drive the mas

[clearhera11]

i would pay good money to have a neil/andrew/any fox pov of the foxes/ravens game

[clearhera11]

aaron drove the mas
