The real tattoos

Drawing these made me realise I can’t wait for the rest of Jean’s reinvention. He’s the most powerful force on the board and hasn’t even got started yet…

happy to be with you

I think the reason Jean's trilogy feels so much more stressful to me than Neil's is because I knew where the foxhole court was going to go the whole time. It was always going to end with neil's father finding him. it was always going to end in a ravens v foxes match. it was always going to end with neil or riko dead at the moriyama's hand.

but jean? jean was always going to end up dead. he was always going to be a martyr, a sacrifice, a pawn. but somehow he didn't. somehow he survived that. and now anything could happen. good, bad, ugly. he promised away the ending he was fated for, so now he has to live. he isn't a part of some fated prophecy or meta chess match. his future is so open-ended. and that feel so stressful.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry that he hurt you, I’m sorry that you’re still afraid to talk about it, and I’m sorry that you think I’ll never understand. I’m sorry that he tricked you into thinking you deserved it."

…Andrew and Neil moved like they were caught in each other’s gravity, in each other’s space more than they were out of it, cigarette smoke and matching armbands and lingering looks when one fell out of orbit for too long…

I thought that Jeremy couldn't be an addict because that would make him "too much of a fox" and the trojans didn't have criminal or public, stigmatised problems but in actuality I think it's a great way to explore how wealth defines these labels. The foxes are constantly maligned for being problem cases but Jeremy is able to be the captain of the trojans because of blatant bribery and abuse of power. Jeremy suffers horrific consequences for his actions, in the form of homophobia, shame, guilt, emotional and fincancial abuse and control. But he is able to avoid the worst practical consequences (serious jail time, let alone suspension from school, loss of his Exy career) because of his parents influence and wealth. He is able to get clean because of their wealth. Whereas the foxes are 'junkies and criminals' for their entire career and are only allowed a shot at a better life if they're lucky because Wymack puts his neck out for them. I think it's genius to have us guess and wait for book two because it emphasises this disparity.

Some amazing things are happening in twitter right now

based on nora's tweet

jean dying in every draft except this one

“Say ‘yes, Jeremy’.”

He had the distinct impression Jean wanted to roll his eyes. “Yes, Jeremy.”

really love that nora does basically no promotion. either you heard about tgr being out because gay people were screaming in your phone, or you didn’t
