16. Bee headcanon

she starts to collect fridge magnets when she retires and starts purchasing whiteboards for her house to keep them all one. andrew sends her ones he finds in airports as he's flying around the states for games, and when his team releases new merch for their olympic win, he sends her two magnets with him and neil's jersey numbers. betsy keeps those two right on the front of her fridge so she can see them every day

@sereblue so abt that jerejean bike piece…..

this album is going to break something in me. Again.

“Good Ol’ Snoopy” by Charles M. Schulz (1958)

[minyard-05]

Do I need to say it?

[minyard-05]

It's about devotion and obsession. It's ALWAYS about devotion and obsession. And hunger. It's love with teeth.

[minyard-05]

BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT SECOND CHANCES

sethaaron but they're both living in the same city post-college and they occasionally see each other and they swear it hasnt progressed further than hookups every now and again and maybe like one time aaron leaves seth his number and MAYBE seth keeps it in his wallet just in case you know anyway so this happens for about a year and a half maybe and seth is on a pro team and aaron's a doctor and then oh no one day aaron gets a call from the hospital saying he's seth's emergency contact and he has to be there asap. so he goes and he's like well wtf happened now and he gets in and seths been hospitalized because he was in a car crash with high blood alcohol levels and severe brain trauma and when he wakes up he doesn't know anybody and he doesn't remember who aaron is or how they ever knew each other and well the hospital can't just let him go with nothing so aaron calls the foxes and anybody who might give a shit to ask if anyone will help out and nobody has time and everybody's busy and seths like oh i didn't have anybody did i and aarons like fuck this i'll do it and he tries to help him out even if he doesn't remember and he initially brings seth to live at his place but seths like uh i think im rich so they end up staying at seths apartment instead etc etc. shit happens because also aaron remembers seth from before and maybe he actually does give a shit about what happens and he's angry as fuck that nobody called and checked up and if it weren't for aaron seth would be alone and aaron's like ACTUALLY fuck this shit i am on your side and its. yeah.

everyone on tiktok says stuff like 'aaron minyard is so unhinged for always saying the most out of pocket shit that's going to get him punched. it's so funny hahaha'

like, no, it's not actually. it's probably a defense mechanism he's been hiding behind since before tilda died

he's probably been going through life under the assumption that it's just a matter of time until people start beating the crap out of him, and he's decided that, instead of waiting around for it to happen, he's just going to actively give them reasons to snap. instead of walking around on eggshells trying not to set people off, he antagonises them on purpose because then at least when they snap he knows why

10. Renee headcannon ?

aftg asks

10: Renee headcanon

she can't bake for shit. like she wants to, SO badly, but she is an absolute godawful baker. it's genuinely almost impressive how she manages it. best not to mention the baking soda incident. THAT SAID. there's a bakery in palmetto that she adores that sells little fox cupcakes on game days specially because renee is in there all the time and she's friends with everyone who works there they give her free pastries when they're closing and one of the girls there, angie, even offered to teach her how to bake but even angie's skills couldn't balance out renee's pure bad luck so in the end their cupcakes didn't work so they went and bought cookies instead and– wait i kind of need the renee walker bakery meetcute now i think she's earned that. angie loves her hair and makes renee a cake in rainbow for her birthday and eventually renee gets good at decorating what angie bakes

[minyard-05]

every time a cis girl becomes a trans man is a good thing actually. the whole world should celebrate. if you came out as transmasc recently and someone had something to say about not needing more men in the world you should make them feel like shit about it. you dont deserve that. your becoming a man makes the world a better place - no ifs, no caveats, no exceptions. you being a man is a good thing because you are trans. you are not abandoning women, or abandoning feminism. you dont now have to dedicate your existence to defending women and being a selfless knight. you dont have to spend every social interaction trying to be as quiet as possible so you can be one of the good ones. you dont have to make yourself small. you get to be angry, sad, excited, horny, tired, scared, you get to expect comfort and rest and patience, just as much as you did before. you haven't betrayed anyone. you are a man now. we're so happy that you are.

EDIT: THIS POST IS ABOUT TRANS MEN AND TRANSMASCULINE PEOPLE EXCLUSIVELY. IT IS NOT A GENERAL TRANS POST. DO NOT DERAIL, AND GET OUT OF THE TAGS TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU EXPECT TRANSMASCULINE PEOPLE TO BE DOING FOR OTHERS. MAKE YOUR OWN POST.

27 for the aftg ask game! - @sirfatcat-mccatterson

aftg asks

27: A moment or line that made you laugh

"It wasn't me, it was the one armed man!"

literally every time medicated andrew opens his mouth in tfc and trk like he's just so fucking funny (unless he says the absolute worst thing imaginable the guy has no balance)

every jean moreau insult as well probably

HUGE shoutout to chapter 6(?) of tfc though when aaron says kevin and andrew are getting brunch and nicky says "i don't think neil can eat anything" and without a MOMENT of hesitation my boy aaron goes "he can watch". Absolute cunt of a man i'm in love

[minyard-05]

ok now one more time so we all get it: you don't 'qualify' to be a fox by virtue of being traumatized enough.

that's not the point and that's never been the point. the reason wymack got so much shit for the way he picks out his players is that he deliberately chooses people that everybody has already given up on. people who have given up on themselves. nobody thought dan wilds was going to make it out of her hometown. nobody thought kevin day was going to recover from his injury. nobody thought andrew minyard was anything more than a psychotic monster and nobody looked twice at junkies like matt, aaron, or seth. nobody thought allison reynolds could make a name for herself outside of her parents and nobody thought nicky hemmick would be able to look after two damaged kids and actually help them survive to college. renee walker and neil josten were hardly real people until natalie and nathaniel came to the foxes and built themselves new lives. its not about what happened to you. it's about who you're going to be and what you're going to do with your second chance. second, third, fourth, however many you need. just so long as it's one more than anyone else was willing to give you.

[minyard-05]

ohhhh i love this actually this looks like so much fun

The library wasn't exactly crowded for mid-afternoon on a Saturday, but it didn't take Seth long to make a beeline for the biology section. (it doesn't come from without, it comes from within) (kate/seth/aaron)

The longer Jeremy stared at the name on his phone, the worse an idea this became. (missing limbs) (jeremy/aaron)

It doesn’t stop; not even when he clasps his hands over his ears and shuts his eyes tight, no white-knuckled grip on his own wrist is enough to shut out the phantom pain of shrapnel lodged in his side, cuts on his face and reopened scars on his arms. (dream brother) (twinyards)

Nicky Hemmick would always remember the first time Aaron called him. (the awful things we do to make the head go quiet) (nicky & aaron)

Landing was almost worse than take-off had been. (Twilight [Golden Part 2]) (aaron)

Aaron Minyard isn’t drugging himself to stay awake (or asleep) anymore, so he’s taking the more natural route of self-starvation and energy drinks to force his insomnia instead. (hydra) (aaron)

Seth had never had a pet. (The (Mis) Adventures of Seth Gordon and The World's Tiniest Cat) (seth & maggie gordon)

Aaron's fingers ached as he fiddled with the laces on his blue court shoes. (Heaven & Hell Were Words To Me) (jean/aaron, twinyards)

You know what you are? You're a fucking stereotype. (stay with me.) (aaron, twinyards)

The phone rang, a sudden, shrill tone that cut sharply through the dull silence of the lounge. (Golden) (aaron)

[minyard-05]

hello! i've done this with my posted fics so this time i think we'll go for my (unposted) wips!

1) keep me a secret (seth/aaron)

"The hospital practically glows in the dull rain of a Chicago night, and Aaron tugs his hood up further over his head to clear his vision a little."

2) Nazareth [Chapter 3]

"This isn't real."

3) gethsemane (jeremy/aaron)

"The first time you saw him was not the first time he saw you."

4) on mothers (kevsethaaron)

"Kev, we're gonna be late," Aaron called down the hall, sighing as he untied the tie around his neck and restarted the knot again."

5) i want you here with me (kateaaron)

"Katelyn was lying on her bed when it happened."

6) i love you, i'm trying (jeremy/aaron?)

"All good things come to an end, or whatever."

7) smile like you mean it (aaron study)

"Grocery store self-checkouts were rapidly becoming Aaron's one true love."

8) it's in the blood (kevsethaaron i think)

"Kevin Day was very few things, it turned out: and fucking relentless happened to be one of them."

9) Heaven & Hell [Chapter 9]

"Knowing it'd been just under a month since the banquet only served to make life in the Nest even more agonizing– especially as it began to dawn on Aaron that he'd never had an exit plan."

10) Granite (sethaaron & kevaaron, racing AU)

"It hadn't rained since last night, but Aaron could still feel the Cam's tires skidding beneath him as he dragged the car around the hairpin."

tags are open :)

first line game

Thank you for the tag @zombiecowboy65 🫶 I also stole ur layout bc I'm lazy and I'm going back off the face of the earth after posting this ♥️

Rules: Share the first lines of ten of your latest fanfics (or up to if you have less!) & tag 10 people.

So bc I only have 9 on ao3 I'll include the first line of HOPEFULLY the next one up 😉

1.) Oh the mere sight of

-> Jean had seen the news. He knew it was coming and yet he’d allowed himself to be dragged along anyway.

2.) 5am and my body hates me

-> Marlene stared into the grubby bathroom mirror and clicked her tongue.

3.) Bro wasn't prepared for multiple choice

-> Sadly, the first time Andrew smiles, it isn’t because of Neil.

4.) A brief reprieve

-> Reality looked like it always did whenever Vi came back from a severe KO; vague and dark and blurry.

5.) Sweaty in December

-> “I can’t wait—” Jack said between gasps. “Fuck me. Hiccup—Hiccup please—”

6.) So Far (It's Alright)

-> “Don’t even think about it, Jean." Jeremy began when he caught sight of the way Jean was eyeing him from across the room, clad in only his shorts and boxers

7.) Do I look like him?

-> Jeremy stared back at the boy in the mirror and cringed. The bags under his eyes were getting worse and everyone at school knew it wasn’t because of midterms.

8.) Storm in the morning light

-> “Please—oh god—Jean!~” Jeremy pants. “I can’t hold on! I can’t—you gotta—you gotta let me cum! I can’t—I can’t—!”

9.) You'll pull through

-> At 04:19, Jeremy reconciles with the fact that he can’t keep hitting snooze forever.

10.) untitled (saved as: oh we gettin' freaky up in here)

-> It was the fifth time they’d done this and Jean still didn’t think he’d ever get used to the sight of himself leaking out of Jeremy’s hole.

Notes for as I am writing this:

(re. 1) Imo, my writing has improved massively from when I wrote OTMSO so read it if you fancy but you have been warned. (re. 5) I giggled so hard pasting that in. Jeeeeeesus I have some fandoms in my repertoire.... (re. 6) God I gotta rewrite some of these.....
