Neil Josten is so stupidly cute I want to gently snap his arm like a glow stick.

[minnnoru]

all for the game fandom! i have made a quiz. a uquiz in the year of our lord 2025, yes.

hope you enjoy, and remember it is just a silly, short quiz!

[minnnoru]

I’ve figured out what I would love for Jeremy to give Jean as his birthday present. Hear me out.

Get that boy a grill. I know Jeremy’s financial situation; it can be cheap. Almost tiny. But.

Jean has told us time and time again how he finds a soothing comfort when he helps Cat cook. Imagine if it applies to both indoors and outdoors? The prepping and the cooking?

Imagine Jean helping Rhemann harvest veggies and then bringing those home to make a part of that night’s dinner. Except he has the option: inside or under the stars?

He’d chose the stars aka balcony, easily. Or the sunset. Or the waning afternoon sun. But just consider Jean Moreau who was starved of the sky cooking a hearty meal for his loved ones under the same gentle glow he was kept from.

From farm to home aka fathers to family; to grill to plate or consideration of love’s warranty.

Just consider it because I love the idea. Jeremy gifting Jean a grill even if he can’t be there every night Jean cooks. Jean taking photos of the stars to send to Jeremy. Send cute tumble.

am i the only one curious to see how jean will interact with the space of his bedroom once he moves into the new apartment? will he change his mind and choose to decorate now, maybe slowly and over time? or will he leave it empty? will he make a genuine effort this time to make the room distinctly his while growing into it as a safe space? will he not decorate just yet while coming to feel this way all the same? idk man just thinking about jean and his new bedroom, and all the feelings he deserves to experience within it.

Nora is actually incredible. If I were the author I would’ve drop-kicked half the fandom in the throat by now

THEA MULDANI DISCOURSE

if you're a hardcore thea hater do us all a favour dni w this post

THEA DID NOT GROOM KEVIN. lord the amount of INSANE takes i see about kevthea makes me want to bash my head in. THEA IS NOT A FUCKING PREDATOR. nora did make a post about this already but i'll reiterate the CANON FACTS for you all: thea and kevin didn't begin a relationship (romantic or otherwise) until they were both legal adults. the age gap between the two of them is maximum five years. there is no evidence to suggest the two of them had any kind of an intimate or close relationship before kevin's freshman year and their age gap isn't anything crazy it's not like kevin was freshly 18 and thea was like 30 so there was no huge gap in maturity. nora also makes it clear that their relationship was not the same as the toxic sexual encounters many of the other ravens had. much as some of y'all don't like kevthea (which i understand), it has to be said that they did actually have a relationship with each other. they passed each other notes and actually cared to get to know each other. nora doesn't really suggest there is anything unhealthy or toxic about their dynamic on its own.

yes i do think kevthea the ship has problems. however i think the toxicity is due to the environment they were both in (a literal cult) rather than either kevin or thea. the main reason i don't ship kevthea hardcore is because their relationship is borne from a very abusive very codependent very toxic environment that neither of them are healed or fully detached from. i honestly think it would be better for them both to just clean the slate and not pursue a relationship until they're more well-adjusted and free of the nest. that being said, i actually trust nora with her characters, so i'll let it rest.

i don't even like thea that much but some of y'all are literally just misogynists. i don't think it's a coincidence that one of the most hated characters in the series is a canonically black woman, especially when contrasted against the all white, male main characters of the books who arguably all have a very fucked moral compass (except for jean and jeremy. sometimes). considering she has like four canon appearances in the series and she is still one of the most hated characters in the fandom for YEARS says a LOT. smells like misogynoir to me.

i also think a lot of people forget that thea is also a victim of the nest. probably more than the average raven because of her race and gender. it's already been said that she faced hatred and copped a lot of shit during her time because she's half black, and jean makes it clear that women weren't highly valued in the nest as well. that combination of her identity did her no favours as a raven and y'all just want a perfect victim so bad don't you. of course she has a twisted way of thinking of course she's not well-adjusted or gentle or particularly kind she's a veteran from the nest and their vicious cult mindset that's not something you can just shake off, and neil, jeremy, kevin and jean all say that ravens graduate but never leave the nest. you all forget how prickly and bitchy and mean jean and kevin can be as well, probably courtesy of the nest, but for some reason their flaws are brushed over and even endearing but thea's are enough to despise and hate her passionately. crazy and suspicious.

yes a lot of the thea discourse is somewhat valid because i do think her responses to kevin + jean's trauma isn't particularly tactful or sensitive but i've said it before and i'll say it again. what do you guys expect her to fucking do??? riko is dead and tetsuji is nowhere to be found. if y'all want her anger and indignation you have it. she wasn't just totally chill and fine with the abuse they suffered. yes, thea made some ill-advised comments, but it's pretty clear she didn't know all the information and the facts about what happened to kevin/jean were so muddled anyway i don't really understand how you guys wanted her to respond. also note that andrew, neil and kevin also don't have the most gentle and sensitive responses to trauma either and yet they never get as much hate as thea does. which is insane btw. i love the boys but actually let this woman REST.

tldr thea isn't my favourite character but i feel the need to defend her because this fandom sometimes makes me genuinely crash out. she is NOT a fucking predator and she is also a victim of the nest. while she's not perfect she's also a character we know next to nothing about and the amount of hate she receives is actually batshit. sorry idc.

If this were medieval times, Neil Josten would 100% be burned at the stake for looking the way he does and having a mouth that doesn’t know when to quit.

I’d be in the front row handing out torches. He made me feel things and I find that personally offensive. I’ll start the rumor, I’ll light the fire, and I’ll sob into my cloak while chanting 'witch' with the peasants.
