Another reason Aaron despises Neil is that he probably thought that they were becoming "friendly"

Due to his and Andrew's deal, Aaron could only have family, no friends. That was Andrew and Nicky, then expanded to include Kevin, and then the next year included Neil (even added to the family phone plan).

Neil hangs out with the monsters; sits with them, goes shopping with them, goes to Eden's with them, etc. Aaron got a list of single Vixen's for Neil to try to help this odd kid out socially. They looked out for Andrew together; Neil kicked down the door and Aaron killed Drake. Neil didn't tell Andrew about Katelyn like Aaron asked. They bonded a little over not telling Dobson anything.

Aaron, who had a lifetime of bad friends who used him to then no friends only family, thought he and Neil were becoming buddies or something.

And then Neil used him. He meddled with Aaron's relationship with Katelyn for his own gain. Yes, Neil's meddling got Andrew and Aaron in therapy together and started talking to each other, but Neil still used him.

That betrayal had to hurt.

The thing about Neil's mistrust of Betsy is that unlike most fictional characters who dismiss psychologists, Neil doesn't write off her profession as quackery, nor does he consider himself well adjusted.

Neil knows he's fucked up. He knows his personality is paper thin, just another layer of papier mâché that he has spent his life trying to keep anyone from cracking open and seizing the calcified corpse of Nathaniel within.

Neil's existence hinges on total control over his own identity and being able to reinvent it on a dime. The idea that someone not only can, but in fact has made a professional career out of wresting that control away from him, cracking open the layers of paper and glue and not reaching for the center but making him look, is nothing short of a death sentence.

jean having both magnitude ten haterism and also loverboy instincts is very dear to me what do you mean his favourite colour is brown like the gaze that sought him out in every room but he’ll turn around and call someone a tedious malcontent

Jeaneil’s dynamic is such that if any of the Trojans ever ask when was the last time Jean spoke to Neil, he undoubtedly says some shit like, “I go to great lengths to avoid speaking to that devil child more than is absolutely necessary,” but then like a week later his housemates get into an argument in the kitchen while Jean is doing homework on his laptop and he suddenly goes, “You may not want to discuss that here; I am on a Skype call with Neil.” Laila turns to him, incredulous, because “I thought you didn’t speak to him??” but Jean just answers very seriously, “We are not speaking.”

actually it's really funny that the foxhole court starts with neil telling us he 'smokes' cigarettes because the smell reminds him of his dead mother. like no hello no how are you we just jumping right into this one

am i allowed to say that jean’s attitude with the press and paparazzi throughout his career will literally be cillian murphy everytime he’s forced to do a press tour? the eye roll, complete poker face, giving away nothing, accidentally being sassy with everyone. there’s going to be a youtube video titled “jean-yves moreau serving cunt in press interviews for 15 minutes straight ft. neil josten being insufferable and kevin day dying inside”
