exy, trauma, repeat.

i find it so funny that the aftg fandom dislikes kevin and thea so much that we'd entertain a ship with him and ANYONE ELSE. kevin & neil? approved. kevin & andrew? approved. kevin and neil AND andrew? approved. kevin & jeremy? & jean? kevin & AARON? approved.

Doodles to mentally prepare for tgr

kevin stood still so jean could one day look back and see how much progress he’s made

"I am Jean Moreau. I have always gotten exactly what I deserve".

[minyardigan]

neil and andrew treat kevin like poopen farten when it comes to his trauma, calling him a coward with a liquid spine. but i think that's because they're both protectors who act for the safety of the people they care about. they see kevin leaving jean—someone he deeply cares for—in the nest and believe he did so by choice rather than by fear. they view his inaction as cowardice. because kevin's response to trauma is self-preservation & compliance, they don't offer him any grace and see him as spineless. "obedience is better than sacrifice"

Nora: this trilogy is about healing and recovery after trauma

some of y'all, for some reason: she's going to kill Kevin Day

i wanna know what the conversation sounded like between neil and the foxes when he told them he was going to california to see jean and deal with the fbi. how much convincing and reassurance did it take to settle their nerves even just a little? how much did it take to settle andrew’s?

[minyardigan]

alas, life trots on 😔 let's just say 2.22 so I hold myself accountable

Lowkey clearing out my drafts rn ngl. This was old and the sketches were horrible so I’m gonna redraw but have it anyway🤷‍♀️

Andrew’s mind

Andrew’s Mind Notes:

- Andrew’s mindland is designed after a prison. There is barbed wire everywhere near his memories, a broken picket fence lining the building, an American flag from Cass’s house, there are 13 windows on the front of the prison, a balcony/roof area, a broken street light Andrew hit when Tilda died, and the car he crashed is semi buried next to the prison

- somewhere near the prison is a soiled and broken bed with a bare stained mattress and broken frame (I did my best to write ‘please’ in the scrambled word code on the bed frame)

- the inside of the prison is actually well organized with cells and thick doors in place of the rooms to his memories. Everything is semi labeled. The doors with the worst of his memories have creaky bedroom doors with no locks or door handles so they occasionally swing open at the slightest movement

- the place smells like cigarettes and the memories are extremely vivid

- Andrew keeps a specific area of the prison dedicated to Neil memories. The area is organized with picture frames of Neil from different angles. It’s well kept and clean and very few doors have locks. It is the only area of the prison with colored doors and walls

- the entrance of the prison has a living room with multiple old couches and bean bags surrounding a box TV that plays static until a random memory connects to the channel briefly before becoming static again (a representation of Andrew’s memories becoming intrusive sometimes)(the scene depicted is of Aaron the day Andrew lost him)

- everyone mistakes it for Andrew

the foresight i foreseen with this post was crazy. “thank you arcane s2!” i say alone in my room crying

do you guys think that the writers for arcane read aftg, studied the twinyard's dynamic, and decided to create vi and jinx as their parallel characters

[minyardigan]

You know what I’m a slut for?

Reaction fics… MY GOD DO I LOVE ME A GOOD OLE REACTION FIC.

Foxes reacting to Neil’s past? Sign me up! The foxes discovering that Andreil are more than just fuck buddies? Yes please. THE FOXES READING THE FUCKING BOOKS? Omg I actually start internally screaming with joy.

Idk what it is but those types of fics have me in a god damn chokehold.

Edit: I made a post with a couple of my favorite reaction fics

[minyardigan]

I said this in another post, but it bears repeating:

Neil is to crime what Andrew is to Exy. Supernaturally talented and unstoppable if he wanted, but due to his general lack of interest nerfs himself.

Everyone should be grateful Neil finds crime boring and uninteresting compared to Exy cause he would have been the Kevin Day of crime, surpassing his father and mother. Nora confirmed in the EC that if the Moriyamas had messed with Andrew, Neil would have carefully and competently dismantled their empire and watched all of them burn. He was practically lab created and stress tested his whole life to fight, outlive, and outsmart criminal masterminds.

My headcannon is Ichirou is secretly relieved that Nathaniel just wants to play stick ball.

cheers to more tsc 🥂

ghost hunter (specifically usually bfu) au??

Aaron the believer, Neil the skeptic, Andrew the main cameraman. Kevin does research probably. There's vague ideas for everyone else but mostly I laugh about Dan and Matt being the editors bc they make the funniest edits

Thank you @jtl-fics for enabling me and having great ideas as always 😂💕
