Thinking about Wendell asking Bobby in the early days if Athena makes him feel like he's "flying." And Bobby says no, Athena makes him feel like he's standing on solid ground, implying that she's the first person to make him feel like that. Grounded, on the earth, solid ground.

Thinking about how Buck needs to be set free, to "fly" for a bit, to discover himself, in many ways for the first time. Tommy, the pilot, helping Buck learn to fly. But Eddie? Eddie is the earth beneath his feet, his solid ground. Flying can be beautiful, but you can't stay in the sky forever.

All the people and connections and love in our lives who help us grow and become ourselves. It's all so beautiful and real. I love this show.

hey. what do a selkie and a ziploc bag have in common

[giraffesanddietpepsi]

i'm sorry but this is the only submission to this trend that i'll consider giving any thought to

also im just fucking cracking up at oliver going "at the beginning of the season I was going to play buck as having a sexual awakening whether the writers were doing it or not" and that translating to buck looking at eddie with the most down horrendous blushy heart eyes possible in every scene cause WHAT would he have done if tim didn't decide to make it canon. at some point he would've been in a scene with eddie and marisol and you would just see buck in the background gagging. he would give that boy Hanahaki disease in the name of character development.

The night before Andrew’s first pro game, he receives a box from a company he is intimately familiar with. Pretty pink calligraphy branding the pristine white box with Allison’s fashion logo. It’s a rather large box, and Andrew is expecting the worst, like bright pink pompoms, but when he opens it, there are several neatly folded piles of silky material—armbands.

The first pair in each bundle is a simple black, but as he goes through them, he finds the colors changing, colors matching his new uniforms, colors Andrew would never usually wear but was informed he’d have to during specific months of the year.

At the bottom of the box lay three pairs with a note labeling them “custom.” The first pair was all black, except for a small dagger on the insides of both wrists. The second set is similar in color, except when they catch the light, subtle color shines through. A stupid rainbow. The last set Andrew knows Neil must have had something to do with as they are bright orange and white, tiny little fox paws on the insides of both wrist.

There are two of each pair, thirty pairs total. At the bottom of the box is a note branded with Allison’s logo but also a tiny kangaroo, one that is also branded just above the elbow on every sleeve.

“First look at the new sports line. I call this one Rew.”

Andrew hates her, but he plays his first game, ensuring Allison’s logo is always visible.

I was thinking about Jean's complicated feelings about Neil, about the promise of their partnership that never would come to fruition.

I think a part of why Jean seems both wistful and resentful when he thinks about Neil is because he knows, deep down, that Neil would never have betrayed him and abandoned him the way Zane did. Neil would have been his partner in the true sense of the word - he'd have watched Jean's back, on and off the court.

Deep down, I think Jean knows that Neil would have done everything in his power to make sure Grayson and the others could never lay a hand on Jean. If Neil had been a Raven, back then, he wouldn't have just shielded Jean. He'd have eliminated Grayson as a threat entirely.

But because he wasn't there, Jean was left to the wolves.

no because if i think about it too long im going to cry. like as insane as it was, neil putting out that hit was the first time someone had ever successfully protected jean without expecting anything in return.

kevin was a bystander in the nest and zane only watched his back so long as it was convenient for him, and then betrayed him without a backward glance. renee wanted to protect jean but by the time she got to him, the damage was done and jean was already at death's door. all she and abby, wymack and bee could do was pick up the pieces and put him back together again.

but neil motherfucking josten saw that jean was in danger and said "i can do something about this" and he just did it. no questions asked.

i can't wait for that to become jean's new normal. I can't wait for the trojans to pick up where neil left off. jean has people who will watch out for him now. people who care and will do whatever they can to keep him safe simply because they want to.

terms that jean uses for neil in the sunshine court:

tiny bastard

tedious malcontent

abominable cockroach

wretched little runaway
