“Neil Abram Josten”

Nora’s colour choices are forcing me to use warm colours and I can’t tell what looks good anymore, I’ve been staring at this for too long and all I see is orange.

Also I had to watch so many videos of people stringing lacrosse racquets so I could model the exy stick as accurate as possible and the amount of random lacrosse knowledge I picked up can never be unlearned

Timelapse below

Clothes made in marvelous designer, everything else modeled in blender, textures painted in substance painter and clip studio paint

My little Neil🤏🤏🤏

AU idea:

Both Neil and Andrew are rival witches. They both can turn into cats, but don’t know the other can. Sometimes when they feel like annoying each other they turn into their cat form and go annoy the human form witch. The other just believes the cat that has come to annoy them is an alley cat so offers food and scritches. One day they both meet in cat form and since they already trust the other cat they are friendly to each other. After hanging out as cats for a bit, some of the local bullies tries to hurt them and fearing for their beloved alley cat turn back to their human form to scare the bullies away. The bullies run away scared as the two most powerful witches in town appear before them. Andrew and Neil end up calling a truce and move in together and even open an apothecary. Sometimes when the apothecary is closed you can see two cats snuggled up together in the display window sun patch.

Neil and Jean are on the same professional exy team. They win a particularly difficult game thanks to their extraordinary (and rare, because they "hate" each other but are also almost always together) rapport. They're both assigned to do press service because they're the star players of the night.

Jean keeps quiet because he knows it's going to be a disaster and refuses to contribute to it. Besides, Neil already speaks for both of them.

Someone tells Neil that it's obvious he gets along well with his team. Jean knows this is a lie. Luckily, the Oregon Dragonflies are as easygoing as the Trojans, so they politely tolerate Neil. The same can't be said of Neil and them.

"Well, a team is sort of like a family. Sometimes you get a dangerous and hateful family, and other times, you get competent and tolerable people," Neil says.

Jean puts a hand to the bridge of his nose. He's never been good with the press, but even he knows that what Neil says sounds incredibly insulting to his team, even if he thinks he's flattering them in some way.

"Don't you think your teammates are tolerable?" someone asks.

"I was on the Foxes with Kevin Day. If I could put up with him, I can put up with anything." Jean looks at Neil. He thinks of his own hands squeezing his neck to calm himself for having thrown him to the lions. Neil seems to notice his look, because he decides to finish the play. "I'd tell you to ask Jean if you don't believe me, but he was with the Ravens, so his perception of what constitutes a tolerable team is seriously altered."

"Tu ne peux pas parler des gens intolerables, sale tique" says Jean, unable to control himself.

"Oh, but he came to his senses a bit with the Trojans. Jeremy Knox is definitely easier to put up with than Kevin. Isn't he, Jean?"

And Jean can't take it anymore.

He hits Neil on the back of the neck. It's loud, hard, and it resonates through the microphone. Neil flinches a little, surprised, and all they can hear are the flashbulbs taking hundreds of pictures of the moment.

Neil stares at Jean, his eyes wide open.

Jean puts a hand to his mouth, processing the fact that he just hit Neil on the back of the neck on national television. There's only one thing Jean can do now. He leans closer to the microphone.

"I want it on record that I didn't want to go into the press room with him because… he's crazy," he says, very, very nervous.

Neil screams.

"He attacked me, you saw him!"

"Oh my God! Can't you keep quiet, not even underwater?" Jean says.

"You know I don't do that!" Neil yells.

It's Jean's moment to open his eyes wide.

The team captain and coach interrupt the session and rush them out of the press room, shouting, "NO, NO, NO, NEVER AGAIN!"

Jean's blow to Neil's neck becomes a meme. They call it the "French Slap."

I kind of love that (according to the ec) Neil doesn't punch Jack until Jack swings at Neil first.

Cause I imagine Jack like the other Foxes is there cause he's had a rough life too, maybe abusive parents.

So even though he disrespects and treats Neil like shit Neil remembers what Wymack told him: that he'd never hit a kid unless the kid swung at him first.

Cause no matter how else you wanna look at it, Neil is older than Jack by a year and has power over him as his Vice Captain. Nora says in the EC that Neil tells the others he'll handle it and even though Kevin, Andrew and probably the other Foxes are like: "Hey Neil put this guy in his place already" Neil doesn't. He's waiting.

In the EC when Jack finally swings at Neil, Neil punches his ass out (thanks Matt for the boxing lessons).

Jack learns his place. The end ish.

But this is kind of cool cause Neil isn't a saint by far, but when it comes to his Foxes, even the new ones, Neil extends a lot of patience. And he's emulating Wymack here, and I love that.

anyone else wish they would get roped into a freaky friday body swap situation just for the hope that the other person will go "oh jesus fuck how do you live like this" and instantly validate your feelings of being Strange and Built Wrong.

they should invent a bus that never gets stuck in traffic because it's on its own path separated from the roads. and then chain multiple of them together and put it on rails. has anyone had this idea before.
